Jackal’s face was also flushed bright red.
Really, he never had a middle ground in his expressions.
Asha diverted the conversation, fanning herself as if flustered.
“Today, I came to feed you the soup I made myself.”
“Soup……?”
“You took care of me when I was sick. Now it’s my turn to repay you.”
Jackal’s eyes widened at the fact that she had cooked for him.
He seemed deeply touched without saying so.
Asha covered him with the blanket to keep him warm, then took a spoonful of soup and blew on it before handing it to him.
“Shall we say ‘ah’, Chef?”
Jackal’s face turned red again at Asha’s tease.
Asha teased him.
“Why? Hurry and say ‘ah.’ That’s how you eat.”
Jackal, seemingly embarrassed, closed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth. Asha fed him the soup.
As Jackal closed his eyes and quietly savored the soup, Asha asked with a slightly expectant face.
“How is it? Is it okay?”
“……. ”
His lack of response made Asha’s eyebrows rise slightly.
“Why don’t you answer?”
“……Chef can’t talk.”
At that, Asha looked at him incredulously and let out an exasperated laugh.
But Jackal could not bring himself to say the soup was tasteless in front of her.
This opportunity made him realize anew that her cooking skills were not very good…….
Asha added with a laugh, looking a bit uneasy.
“Just so you know, it might taste a bit bitter because of the herbs.”
“……Yeah. What’s good for the body is supposed to be bitter.”
“Exactly. Nothing more to it.”
Asha swallowed the words ‘it’s definitely not because my cooking skills are bad and it tastes awful’ and nodded vigorously, furrowing her brows.
Jackal found her so cute that he secretly chuckled.
He thought he should eat all the soup without leaving a drop for her sake.
It was okay that her cooking skills were not very good. He could cook for her every day.
Having finally finished the last spoonful and putting down the bowl, Asha spoke.
“Now, let’s take a look at the wound.”
Jackal avoided her gaze and said.
“Can’t show you.”
“Why?”
“I’m…… naked now.”
“……?”
Asha’s eyes widened before her face flushed bright red.
Indeed, right now, important parts were covered under the blanket he was covered with.
She may have even touched the blanket without realizing it earlier, and her face flushed involuntarily at the thought.
“I, I’ll go boil the bath! It’s time for medicine after a meal!”
“……Just stay here.”
Asha sprang up but then turned to look at him, grabbing her wrist.
Jackal looked serious.
“The attendant or the servant will bring that. Until then, just…… stay by my side.”
In fact, there had been so many other people in and out of this room that there had been little time for the two of them to be alone.
Furthermore, because he would fall asleep at any chance due to his injuries, Jackal wanted to be with her even for a brief moment.
Earlier, he had looked for Asha as soon as he regained consciousness, but hearing from the doctor that she had gone with Sosa to gather herbs, he had waited without sleeping until her return.
For some reason, he was afraid that she would disappear again while he closed his eyes.
He couldn’t sleep for anxiety, as the memory of that day would come to mind as soon as he closed his eyes.
That memory had left a deep wound in him like a trauma.
Asha sighed softly and said.
“……Understood. Then I’ll nurse you by your side.”
Only then did Jackal seem satisfied, lying down on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
Asha asked cautiously.
“But does everyone in the organization know that you, Jackal, can… transform into a horse?”
“No. Only Sosa knows this fact. Sosa can transform into a horse just like me, being of the Kelpie tribe.”
“Really……?”
Asha’s eyes widened.
The Kelpie tribe.
There were a total of five minority tribes, and among them, the Kelpie tribe was a tribe so rare that it was now hard to find.
Therefore, she didn’t even know the fact that the Kelpie tribe could transform into horses.
Probably, apart from the village chief and the heirs of each tribe, very few people knew this fact.
But suddenly, something came to mind, and Asha, causing her pupils to shake, asked tremblingly.
“Jackal, I just want to ask you something. Was that beautiful, white horse I rode… Sosa?”
Jackal hesitated.
“…….”
When he didn’t answer, Asha covered her face and sighed in sorrow.
She wondered what on earth she had done.
Asha suddenly got up, and Jackal, slightly surprised, asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Don’t talk to me.”
When she abruptly responded coldly, Jackal was greatly taken aback.
“I’m sorry, sorry…….”
He was so shameless that he couldn’t even meet her eyes or hold her hand again.
Asha, feeling betrayed, snorted and left the room.
Earlier, because the situation was so urgent, she somehow passed it over, but now, thinking that even Sosa had deceived her, she suddenly felt a surge of betrayal.
But just then, she ran into Sosa coming from a distance.
As the old memories came back, Asha’s face turned red as if stung.
Sosa asked with a slight tilt of his head.
“Asha? Is something wrong?”
Asha glared and said.
“Sosa. You have nothing to hide from me, do you?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
