Licking his lips, Jackal soon opened his mouth seriously.
“If I were to die, never revert back. Keep living your life. Because if you succeed in reverting, all the memories with me would become as if they never happened, and that would be the saddest thing for me.”
“……”
At those words, Asha felt as if a warm emotion was spreading through her chest.
He hadn’t said it out loud, but Jackal felt the same way.
If Asha were to die before him, he was willing to follow her in death.
Of course, he would brutally avenge those who had killed her before dying….
After avenging, he would find eternal rest with her.
The two looked at each other with intense emotion.
Soon, a warm atmosphere enveloped them in the room.
They naturally embraced each other.
His bare chest was incredibly hot, and the sound of his heartbeat was close and loud.
It felt like a signal that vividly reminded her that he was alive, and Asha closed her eyes and listened to his heart, leaning against his chest.
Had she stayed like that for a while, Asha eventually composed herself and resumed treatment.
His body was really covered with numerous scars.
She could hardly imagine what kind of childhood he must have had.
Asha soaked cotton in alcohol to disinfect the wounds, and then slathered them with ointment and powdered medicine.
Her touch was very gentle.
As Jackal silently watched her treat his wounds, he suddenly realized that their positions were quite suggestive.
Sitting on the bed with his legs apart and her between his legs, looking closely at ‘that spot’ and touching his body…
Jackal’s face turned bright red, and he turned his head, fiddling with his innocent mouth with one hand.
If she knew what this naughty wild horse was thinking right now, she might run away from this place…
That would not end as easily as last time, looking at the wall in Shapi’s form and reflecting on himself.
In case a vital part responded to her touch, he did his best to repeat ‘good thoughts…’ in his mind.
But when Asha stretched out both arms to rewrap the bandage around his side, he unknowingly bit his backhand hard.
‘Just endure this…’
“It’s done.”
As soon as he heard Asha’s words, he relaxed the strength in his body.
Asha looked carefully at the bandage with satisfied eyes, and then looked up and noticed his expression, her eyes widening.
“Mr. Jackal! Did it hurt a lot?”
His face was flushed, sweating cold sweat.
Now that she looked, his whole body was reddened and soaked in sweat.
“Oh my, what to do! If it hurts, say so! It’s so foolish……”
Asha, feeling sorry, quickly laid him down on the bed.
Jackal couldn’t bear to tell the truth, so he obediently closed his eyes and let Asha do as she pleased.
It had been a bit dangerous, but his lower half was covered by the blanket, thankfully…
Asha put the first aid kit aside and quickly picked up a towel to wipe away his cold sweat.
His body twitched again at the careful touch of her wiping his body.
After finishing everything, Asha stood up and spoke.
“Then rest now. I’ll leave.”
“……Leaving?”
The voice sounded somewhat affectionate, and Asha looked back at him.
Jackal hesitated for a moment and then said, brazenly,
“Leave a little later. If you’re tired, lie down beside me… you can rest before leaving.”
Asha rolled her eyes and thought ‘what a cheeky thing to say,’ but hid that thought and answered in a calm voice.
“No. I can’t sleep in the bed again like last time when I’m not a patient. I’ll just watch over you here until you fall asleep, Mr. Jackal.”
With that, Asha lifted both arms to the bed, raised her face like a flower stem, and looked at his face.
Jackal then slowly raised his upper body, supporting his head with one hand, and lay on his side, gazing at her.
The muscular arm full of masculinity, tinged with brown, was marked with veins all over.
Suddenly, the air grew tense and the atmosphere changed to sultry.
Unwittingly glancing at his neck and firm chest, Asha caught Jackal’s sly smile.
Asha’s face turned red as she met his observing gaze, and she sprang up.
“I must go. It seems you won’t sleep if I’m here, Jackal. I’ll leave now for real.”
Asha seemed to walk away, but quickly returned to him.
In the moment he looked at her strangely, she gave him a soft kiss on the forehead as she would do to Shepi.
Jackal’s eyes widened.
Right in front of his eyes, the blushing Asha smiled and said,
“Have good dreams tonight, and don’t be sick.”
“…….”
Jackal’s eyes changed, and he leaned his head towards her.
As his lips touched hers, this time, Asha was startled, her eyes widening.
Jackal gently kissed her and immediately pulled away, saying,
“You too, sleep well. Don’t worry about me anymore.”
Asha stood in place, her eyes wide, but Jackal lay back on the bed as if nothing had happened.
Their unexpected goodnight kiss had turned both their faces red.
“….Then, I’ll go.”
Asha carefully pulled the blanket up to cover his body and then left the room.
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.”
