I opened my eyes narrow and checked the target. It wasn’t clear, but it seemed like I did.
“If the dueling trial were still allowed, Miss Reize would have won. Because your talent would have been outstanding.”
Berdoy received the gun from my hand and cleaned the inside of the barrel.
“Fortunately, it’s illegal now.”
“How was it? Shooting it.”
“It feels refreshing. On the one hand, it’s threatening, but on the other hand, it’s like, can such an easy weapon that can take everything at once be allowed?”
“It’s the easiest way to deal with things that threaten me.”
I couldn’t find a suitable answer to Berdoy’s words. Then the men who were watching came forward, saying they would teach me various other skills.
Before the afterglow of the shot completely faded away, I learned how to hold a sword. I even learned simple martial arts and martial arts transmitted from the East.
The men taught me step by step. Although I initially corrected my posture, I later became eager.
When I handled things well, the men taught me various other things.
Before I knew it, everyone in the training ground was focusing on me and my actions. Whenever I accomplished a skill, the men would either applaud or cheer loudly.
Receiving praise for trivial things felt like a child taking their first steps.
As time passed, I could hear in detail how Yuric was doing here from the men.
“Maybe because he’s a swordsman, there’s hardly any change in expression. Always sharp.”
“Is Yuric sharp?”
“Of course! He’s like a rock, just silent!”
I burst into laughter at the term ‘rock.’ There seemed to be someone who used to call Yuric that before.
“…What are you doing here?”
“…!”
While chatting for a long time, Yuric’s voice was heard from the front.
Next to him was a middle-aged man who was scanning me and the men while tightly sealing his lips. The man had thick eyebrows and rough skin, and his build was bear-like.
He was Yuric’s master.
Not only did the man overwhelm the atmosphere, but the men actually stood up in fear. They straightened their necks and bowed their waists.
“Is this young lady your acquaintance, Yuric?”
“Yes. She’s… my friend.”
“Send her back before training time.”
After throwing only one word, the master moved out of sight. The men, who were watching me, immediately went to do their respective tasks when they were beside me. Only Yuric and I remained in the circular training ground.
“Reize.”
“I came to deliver sandwiches, Yuric.”
“Sandwiches?”
“Unne asked me to do a favor.”
Pointing to the basket far away, Yuric frowned.
“Don’t do favors for Unne in the future.”
“I’m sorry for unintentionally causing you trouble twice. It was never my intention.”
“If it’s because of the master, don’t worry about it. But when did you arrive?”
“Probably about thirty minutes ago?”
“Why didn’t you call me right away?”
“Because you said you were busy. Originally, I was planning to come right away, but I heard they were teaching shooting, so I was learning that.”
I did try touching swords and spears, but it’s probably better not to mention that. Even though I only mentioned guns, Yuric’s expression didn’t seem ordinary.
“I’m sorry for touching without permission.”
“It’s okay to touch. It’s not mine anyway. Most of the firearms are brought by a guy named Berdoy.”
“I see. No wonder Mr. Berdoy taught so well.”
“That guy… taught you?”
A single answer to lighten the mood seemed to inadvertently touch his feelings.
What could be the problem? Was it using the gun recklessly? Or was it learning how to shoot in the training ground on my own? Or… is there something wrong between Berdoy and Yuric?
Berdoy mentioned that he gets along well with Yuric the most.
“A little. Just a tiny bit.”
“If you want to learn in the future, learn from me. I’m also good at shooting.”
“Yeah, I’ll remember.”
“Don’t get along with Berdoy. That guy has a dark side towards you.”
“What?”
Yuric gave a bitter smile.
“Take the sandwiches with you.”
“Take them?”
“If I try to eat them, the others will rush to ask for some too. No, anyway, it’s almost training time, so I can’t eat them.”
When I remained silent, he directly grabbed the basket and handed it to me.
Whether it was because Berdoy, who was holding the basket for me, had just put it down, the sandwiches inside were all crushed.
I held back my emotions and comforted myself.
“Okay. And I’m sorry. I won’t come uninvited from now on. But eat the sandwiches. Using energy without eating anything will make you collapse.”
Yuric, who was angry, seemed to understand. He was also reflecting on my actions that made him uncomfortable.
But still, when I heard Yuric’s cold voice, my heart sank. Even his voice seemed fragile, like my wounded heart.
It’s such a childish behavior. Despite knowing, when I received the basket, I instinctively avoided his gaze. As I was about to put the basket down in a suitable place, Yuric took a step forward.
“Reize, you’re misunderstanding the main point.”
“……!”
At the unexpected words, I unconsciously raised my head. Yuric urgently covered my eyes with his hands. It became pitch dark.
“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m not angry now because you came. In fact, I’m very happy that you came into my space.”
“…….?”
“Shooting a gun? Holding a sword? Anyway, everything here is shared. Everyone touches everything without having their own. Everyone has tried it at least once.”
Yuric let out a sneer. It was unclear at whom the laughter was directed.
“But Reize, do you think I would get angry just because you touched something?”
…But why,
“Guns, swords, spears, arrows…, you can share such things with others as much as you want. It’s okay to steal them.”
Yuric continued, squeezing my hand.
“But only one thing. Anything about you.”
“…….?”
“I don’t want to share anything about you with anyone else.”
Yuric’s subdued voice strongly pressed down on my heart.
“Go. Reize.”
“…….?”
His hand, which had blocked my view, lowered. He immediately turned his back and left his seat. I stared at his broad back in a daze.
“…….?”
He once again drove a wedge into me, who kept forgetting. He emphasized that he was no longer that boy from his childhood.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
