When I Reach You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
The sharp click-clack of high heels echoed through the nurses’ station. Every nurse there instinctively turned toward Hye Ji, sensing the sudden shift in her aura.
“Teacher Joo, you cut your hair.”
The long hair she had kept for years was now trimmed short, stopping just below her ears. People say women usually cut their hair short only when they’re going through some major emotional change.
“Yes. Thought I’d switch things up a bit.”
No one said it out loud, but everyone already knew just by looking. They all knew the person who had shaken Joo Hye Ji this much was Yoon Seon Woo.
Lately, no one in the hospital was unaware that things between the two of them weren’t the same as before.
It wasn’t that people had never suspected something between them, but after so many years of nothing changing, some had started to believe their relationship really might just be friendship.
Well, the very idea that pure friendship can exist between a man and a woman was flawed to begin with. The moment news of Yoon Seon Woo’s marriage broke, whatever was between them froze solid.
Everyone had long since figured out that the one still holding on was Joo Hye Ji. She was wearing her feelings so openly now—it would be stranger if anyone missed it.
“Teacher Joo, the bob looks amazing on you. They say only true beauties can pull off short hair.”
“Thank you.”
Even hearing the nice compliment, her expression stayed dark. She barely managed to lift the corners of her mouth in response. The moment she passed the station, even that faint smile vanished completely.
As soon as she reached her office, she tossed the tablet in her hand onto the desk like she was throwing it.
Her eyes landed on Seon Woo’s wedding invitation sitting on the desk. It wasn’t exactly abandoned, but it wasn’t carefully kept either.
That was exactly how her heart felt right now—neither fully given up nor still holding on; just vague.
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.”
