In the blink of an eye, the ground where Shar-tee had just stood was deeply excavated by Ren’s fist. If she hadn’t stepped back due to the recoil of grabbing the bag, she wondered what would have happened.
“Not Ren, but exactly……”
Like the man she met in the cave.
At the sound of the rain intensifying, Ren flinched.
“……!”
Without missing a beat, Shar-tee quickly fled outside the cave.
Although Ren immediately followed her, Shar-tee dodged his hand as she fell, allowing her to avoid him. Her robe was a mess, soaked in the mud puddle.
“Ugh…….”
Enduring the pain coursing through her entire body, Shar-tee turned her head slightly.
“Uh……uhuh…….”
Ren couldn’t take a single step outside the cave.
The pouring rain seemed terrifying to him, and he continuously uttered short moans while frowning.
He was afraid of the rain.
“Come to think of it, it also rained heavily when we first met with a typhoon.”
Since he fainted, Ren had been constantly groaning.
It wasn’t because of poison or injury. It wasn’t even because of a nightmare.
It was because the sound of rain echoing in the cave frightened and tormented him.
“Huh, uhuh…… kgh……!”
Thud! Ren grabbed his head, squeezing it, and forcefully struck the wall with his fist.
Leaving the cave as it is could lead to its collapse due to the weakened foundation from the heavy rain.
Shar-tee rummaged through her bag and took out a pouch of sleeping powder.
“There’s only one left.”
Shar-tee wiped off the rainwater seeping into her hood roughly and measured the distance from Ren.
Due to the rain, she couldn’t guarantee hitting him even if she threw it.
Only Shar-tee’s distress in watching over the precarious Ren seemed to intensify.
The tension of Shar-tee observing Ren with a tightly gripped small pouch in her hand reflected in her eyes as she looked down.
“Perhaps……”
Shar-tee looked at Ren with tense eyes.
Even though Ren was frightened by the rain, he didn’t take his eyes off Shar-tee.
Beyond vigilance or anger, there was a hint of vitality.
“Ren feels vitality towards me?”
That couldn’t be.
Without avoiding Ren’s eyes, Shar-tee slowly raised her hand to the robe button.
Taking a deep breath and gathering her courage for the last time, Shar-tee clasped the silver ring, a magical tool, onto her finger.
“…I shouldn’t interfere with Ren’s facial recognition now.”
Shar-tee removed the silver ring.
And before her determination wavered, Shar-tee took off her robe. The damp hood was discarded as well.
“……!”
Ren’s face, filled with pain, momentarily stopped.
Shar-tee, with clenched fists in response to Ren’s positive reaction, approached him.
“Slowly, don’t startle him……”
The distorted muscles gradually relaxed as Shar-tee got closer. Watching his body twitch continuously, Shar-tee continued to approach Ren.
Shar-tee extended her arms toward Ren, who had been stiffened.
“Ren-!”
“……!”
The blurry eyes gradually regained light.
“I, I can’t move!”
Despite the possibility of a kinder phrase, Eichae was overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of a turquoise eye and burst into a tantrum.
Feeling unjust, Shar-tee bit her lip.
“Can’t Ren come here and take me away?!”
“…….!”
Ren’s trembling lips.
Suddenly realizing it, Shar-tee vigorously shook her head.
“Come here and take me, Ren!”
Ren moved.
For the first time, raindrops flowed down his feet, arms, and face.
With a blank expression, Ren, who moved solely toward Shar-tee, slowly lifted his arm.
Shar-tee laughed at the face of Ren, who seemed on the verge of collapsing.
“Ren!”
“……!”
As his massive body collapsed, Shar-tee embraced him with both arms.
Shar-tee tightly wrapped her arms around Ren’s neck. Shaking and trembling, Ren, nestled in Shar-tee’s small and slender embrace, clung to her like hanging on.
His still rough breathing indicated his anxious state of mind.
Shar-tee whispered softly to Ren, who was clinging to her with the smell of blood in the pouring rain.
To ensure he wouldn’t be startled, she conveyed her feelings quietly and affectionately.
“Thank you, Ren. And…”
Hoping Ren would concentrate on this small voice more than the sound of the rain, Shar-tee whispered in his ear.
“I like you, Ren.”
Shoosh-.
“My feelings for you may not be greater than yours for me, but still, I can promise one thing.”
“…”
“I will never let go of Ren’s hand first.”
The heavily pouring rain was painful.
So, she regained consciousness.
In the forgotten memories of Ren, he was never happy.
He lived with threats rather than happiness.
A person who lived with a blank face rather than a smiling one was undoubtedly a lonely person.
[May I research this venom?]Doubting whether it was related to Ren, Shar-tee received the crimson poison herb.
She wasn’t sure how long she could live without knowing Ren’s secret, with his background that warranted the involvement of the Witch Council.
But the moment she faced Ren’s mental breakdown and his weakness, everything became meaningless.
“Forget everything, Ren. You can forget.”
Don’t remember.
Don’t leave any memories that made you hurt like this.
“I am a doctor, so I can take care of painful memories, so just forget everything and stay by my side.”
Ren, who was embraced by Shar-tee, slowly closed his eyes.
The raindrops falling on his eyelids turned into thick tears.
Shar-tee whispered continuously to the unconscious Ren until the rain weakened.
“I will protect you. I will protect Ren. So, don’t worry…”
In the dawn after the passing of the heavy rain, Shar-tee was completely drained.
Her arms and legs had lost sensation due to constant falls for half a day.
‘It’s tough…’
Moreover, dragging Ren all the way from the cave while he was unconscious and sleeping left her exhausted. In the meantime, she even made cold and flu medicine. So, even closing and opening her eyes was challenging.
Still, she felt relieved after forcing herself to take the medicine.
It was natural that she couldn’t change into dry clothes because of the thoroughly soaked ones.
‘It’s a mess.’
Her hair, face, clothes, and body were dirty and sticky with mud.
Shar-tee sighed deeply. Then, she moved her stiff neck to stroke Ren.
Ren’s appearance was no different from Shar-tee’s. Moreover, due to the wounds he had inflicted on himself, there were bandages and plasters all over his body.
He still seemed to be suffering from madness.
‘What should I say to Ren…’
Will he remember…?
In the fading consciousness, Shar-tee thought absentmindedly.
What I confessed… he will remember, right…?
Shar-tee couldn’t resist the heavy eyelids and was swallowed into darkness.
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.”
