Lee Soo, who had been looking at Ji Ho, turned her gaze towards the cherry blossom trees lined up along Yun Jungro.
The cherry blossoms in full bloom all over the road gave off a dreamlike atmosphere, perhaps due to the lighting.
The harmony of the black night sky and the pure white cherry blossoms seemed like viewing a Korean painting.
“Wow. It’s so beautiful.”
Lee Soo involuntarily admired the beautiful scenery.
She had seen it a lot in photos, on TV screens, but it was incomparable to seeing it directly with her own eyes.
Ji Ho took in the sight of Lee Soo with a bright smile on her face.
“Lee Soo, let’s take a picture.”
“Huh?”
When Lee Soo made a reluctant face, Ji Ho mischievously whispered ‘I’m doing my best’.
‘Ha! That damned best.’
“Okay.”
Ji Ho snuggled up next to Lee Soo and stretched out the hand holding the phone.
As he said “Let’s take the picture”, Ji Ho’s arm wrapped around Lee Soo’s shoulder and the photo was taken.
In the picture, Ji Ho and Lee Soo’s faces were close enough to touch.
“Did it come out well?”
Ji Ho showed the picture to Lee Soo.
“You’re the only one who looks good?”
Lee Soo spoke grudgingly.
She knew this would happen, that’s why she didn’t want to take it.
“So, should we take it again?”
What’s the point of taking it again?
Since his appearance itself was art, it was natural that Ji Ho would come out better no matter how they took the picture.
Even if they took it hundreds of times again, it wouldn’t change.
“No need. I think it’ll be the same even if we take it again.”
“Just once more.”
In the end, they took it again, but to Lee Soo, there was no difference.
Ji Ho spoke as if coaxing a child to Lee Soo, who was looking at the picture with a displeased expression.
“You also came out pretty well.”
“Enough.”
Lee Soo chuckled emptily.
This ambitious night. Not only had she come to see the cherry blossoms on Yun Jungro, but she was also casually taking a selfie with Ji Ho whom she met after a long time.
It was an absurd situation to the point where the time she spent trying not to think about Ji Ho over the past few days felt in vain.
The two of them walked to the end of Yun Jungro, where traffic was controlled, and then walked back.
“I’ve actually never been to a place like this to see cherry blossoms before. Now that I’ve come, I think I understand why people go to cherry blossom festivals.”
As she walked, Lee Soo looked up and took in the sight of the cherry blossoms.
She felt a little grateful to Ji Ho for bringing her here.
“What were you doing, not coming to such a place until now?”
“Exactly. If I knew it was this beautiful, I would have come sooner.”
If she had to make an excuse, it was because cherry blossoms bloom in early April, which is the exam period every year.
She hadn’t come because of the lack of time, because you could easily see them everywhere this time of the year.
“I did a good job bringing you here today.”
With a smile, Lee Soo nodded her head.
“Do you want to come again when it’s bright tomorrow?”
She had refused all day when Ae Ra and Dong Woo said let’s go together…
“Lee Soo, if you change your mind, contact me tomorrow.”
Even if she were to come again tomorrow, it would be right to contact Dong Woo.
She didn’t come willingly, but if Ae Ra and Dong Woo found out that she came here with Ji Ho…
She had to keep it a secret till the end.
“No. This is enough for this year.”
At that, Ji Ho glanced at Lee Soo and chuckled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Um… I think you’ll get mad if I say this, should I say it or not?”
“What is it?”
“Doing my best…”
Ji Ho looked at Lee Soo with a mischievous expression and drew out his words.
“Hey!”
Realizing what he was about to say, Lee Soo glared at Ji Ho with a shout.
“I told you. You’re getting mad.”
“That’s not what I meant for you to say at times like this, it’s because you keep saying it.”
“Just saying it makes you listen to everything… It’s like a magic spell, so I keep wanting to use it.”
Ji Ho spoke, laughing like a child.
Lee Soo, who had been rolling her eyes, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Since she had said it herself, not because someone told her to, it was right to listen.
She didn’t know he would misuse it like this.
Come to think of it, she didn’t know who the “best” of coming to Yun Jungro in Ji Ho’s car and looking at cherry blossoms was for.
Rather, it seemed like Lee Soo should be thanking him again this time.
“We’ve seen everything now, so let’s go. I’ll take you.”
After circling Yun Jungro once, the two headed towards the parking lot.
Lee Soo wanted to go alone, but she couldn’t resist Ji Ho, who said he would take her, and got in the car.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ji Ho found Lee Soo’s house in the recent records of the navigation and pressed the guide button.
“Really, I can go alone. If you drop me off and go home, it’s quite a detour for you.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
