The longawaited day had finally come.
A sea voyage!
As I descended the stairs after stuffing my bag full, Isabelle was sitting on the sofa.
My plan to leave early to avoid crossing paths with her was instantly foiled. Isabelle eyed me keenly as I switched into my outdoor shoes.
The gaze was so piercing that my hands trembled slightly as I tied the laces.
“You’re leaving early. The maids haven’t even woken up yet.”
“I have plans to meet Roger early. I told you yesterday. Haven’t you slept?”
“I couldn’t sleep. Do you know that most of the kids attending the camp are nobles?”
“How did you find out?”
My heart sank at Isabelle’s words. Could she have looked into the camp? I was pretending to go on this camp while actually going on a sea trip.
“Forget it. Just don’t disgrace the Marsen family by causing a scene. Be quiet and composed. And be cautious of Professor Brutanew, he’s a bit odd.”
“Odd?”
“You’ll see.”
She seemed to know well about Professor Brutanew, whom I would meet during this camp.
“If the professor says anything strange, do not take it to heart. He’s a unique person who idealistically thinks about unsolvable problems.”
Isabelle advised one last time before entering her room. I stood up, sensing her somehow anxious demeanor. Upon opening the front door, the sky just beginning to dawn came into view.
“Anyway, take care.”
Isabelle’s voice reached through the crack of the stillopen door.
“Yes, I will!”
Spring seemed to announce its arrival as a shade of blue circulated in the winter garden, yet the weather was cloudy and gloomy.
“Lise, Lise Marsen!”
Roger’s voice echoed from a distance. He was climbing up the hill, carrying a bag that looked even heavier than mine.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Despite the hill being gentle, Roger repeatedly paused, clearly struggling. This ate up a lot of time.
“I’m going first!”
“Wait! I’m almost there!”
Almost where?
“Huff, wait……!”
Before I could leave, Roger sprinted with all his might. When he arrived in front of me, he panted heavily and even dryheaved.
“You’re weak, Roger.”
“No, I’m not. I’m only weak in stamina, my arm strength is strong. Wanna feel?”
Roger extended his arm to regain his pride. Although slimmer than Yurik, who often held a sword, Roger’s arm was surprisingly firm and muscular.
“How’s it? Strong, right?”
“Did you come alone? Didn’t bring a maid?”
“I did ride a carriage with the maid, but we parted ways at the bottom of the hill. I’ve been carrying this heavy bag from there.”
Roger proudly showed his bursting bag. Up close, it was significantly larger compared to mine. I momentarily forgot we were heading to the same destination.
“You didn’t bring the whole household, did you?”
“About five sets of clothes.”
Just for one day? Five sets? But that wasn’t all.
“My mother also packed some snacks. I’ve got a cookie set and a tea set. And artists often get inspired by the sea, so I brought two notebooks to record that inspiration.”
“Two notebooks?”
“Documentation is important. The quill pen I brought is very expensive, bought when my dad toured the continent. The ink set has twelve colors, and yes, I brought them all. Oh, and I also brought something else but what was it……”
No wonder the bag was heavy. I hurried my pace, fearing further nagging.
“Hey, let’s go!”
Roger chased after me.
The distance to the Fenton residence was not far at all. The distinct color of the Fenton house’s roof and beyond that, the Marsen house, was in clear view. In a short walk, we would arrive at the front gate.
Roger alternated his gaze between the Fenton house and the roof of the Marsen house far beyond, and then spoke.
“It’s really close.”
“Right. If it weren’t for the Winter Garden in the middle, the mansions would have been side by side.”
“So they call this place the Winter Garden. Well, he’s lucky to live nearby.”
Roger mumbled quietly. Was he saying it was good to be close to the Winter Garden, or good to have their mansions close to each other?
“Huh? It’s Yurik.”
After passing through the Winter Garden, we could spot Yurik in front of the Fenton mansion’s main gate.
“Yurik!”
“……Lise!”
When I waved and called out happily, Yurik also smiled brightly.
But that was momentary; as soon as he saw Roger beside me, he immediately scowled. Roger’s expression was not much different either. The two, not in good terms, exchanged wary glances.
“Have you been preparing already?”
When I asked, Yurik snatched the bag from my hand.
“It might rain in the afternoon, so I thought of leaving early. I’ll put your bag in the carriage. Nothing to take out, right?”
“Hey, put my bag in the carriage too.”
Roger also offered his bag to Yurik, but Yurik perfectly ignored him.
“Hmph, that kid.”
“Looks like Yurik didn’t hear you.”
“Don’t defend him, Lise. That kid heard me loud and clear.”
Roger grumbled, watching Yurik’s retreating back. I hoped they would get along on this trip….
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
