“Thanks to that, my taste has become picky.”
“……”
“No matter what I eat, I’m not satisfied.”
A chill ran down his spine in an instant.
He was simply having a normal conversation, but why was there a strange tension flowing?
Was it because his talk about food didn’t seem to be about food?
“So, what’s that food you like?”
Samyeong urged for an answer, but Sahn remained tightlipped, replacing his response with an inexplicable smile.
At the same time, the last words he had always whispered in her dreams came to mind in Kang’s head.
‘I want to eat your dreams.’
Her eyes wavered.
The moment when doubt turns into conviction.
His words about not having eaten his recent favorite food,
“….”
Came in an entirely different meaning.
Suddenly, it was so suffocating that it was difficult to breathe.
Kang, who had broken away from his gaze, hurriedly opened the window a bit.
“Kang, is it hot?”
“No, just…”
To Samyeong’s question, she shook her head as if to tell him not to worry.
The quite cool wind caressed her hot cheeks and messed up her hair.
But even then, the back of her head was hot.
Her gaze was facing outside, but all her nerves were already drawn to the back.
Samyeong, who had no idea about such inner circumstances, was excitedly chattering away.
“I don’t know what it is, but let’s go eat it together later.”
“What is it?”
“It’s that food you said you like.”
At his words, Sahn laughed a little.
“It’s not something to share with others.”
“Oh. Even a single bean is meant to be shared, what can’t be shared?”
“It’s best when I eat it alone. It doesn’t seem to be your type…”
“Why? Is it raw food? I prefer meat from land animals.”
Raw food.
Well, strictly speaking, it would be closer to raw food.
“Yes.”
It wouldn’t be a problem to say so.
Short nodding, he seemed to wrap up the conversation around here.
“Let’s go eat the meat you like later. I’ll take you there.”
“Hey, why do you always tempt people with food? It weakens my heart.”
Finally, Samyeong, who easily fell for it, quieted down.
As the car was crossing the Han River Bridge, dawn was breaking.
Even in such a situation, sleep came flooding in.
She felt as if she had put stones on her eyelids, constantly blinking her eyes slowly.
It couldn’t be anything but an honest body.
“If you’re sleepy, why don’t you sleep a little?”
Sahn’s voice flew in and woke her drowsy mind.
While keeping her head on the window, Kang rolled her eyes to look at him.
“I want to sleep too, but I can’t.”
“Why?”
“Because my dreams are too wild.”
“….”
“I thought it was getting better recently, but these days, it’s been terrible.”
She threw meaningful words over his innocent face asking why.
She thought if there was any relevance, it would certainly show a small lullaby.
But he sympathized with an expression that was not sad at all.
“Damn.”
As if he was wearing a mask.
Did he not know? Or was he pretending not to know?
How likely is it that the rare face exists separately in dreams and reality?
While having such thoughts, Sam Young interfered.
“Really?”
“What?”
“I thought you had a good sleep recently, didn’t you really have a nightmare?”
In response to his doubtful questioning, Kang answered.
“I did have a dream, but I woke up right away. So, I managed to sleep.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Someone kept appearing in my dream.”
“……”
“That person always helped me wake up from the dream.”
Upon hearing her answer that she could sleep well afterwards without having a nightmare, Sam Young’s eyes widened.
“Who is that?”
In response to his words, Kang answered with more force as if to hear again.
“Yes.”
“……”
“A suspicious person who I don’t know is on my side or not.”
Pfft.
At the same time as the words, the laughter flew in like a wind.
When I turned my head, he was covering his mouth with his hand as if he never laughed, only lifting the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that, she wanted to ask about his identity right away.
Biting her unfortunate lips, she withdrew her gaze with a promise of what would happen next.
Dawn was brightening in the distance.
Despite the fairly early time, the road was full of cars.
Looking blankly at the Han River spread out through the window, San’s voice was heard again.
“I’m talking about that ‘accident’.”
At the word accident, both Sam Young and Kang flinched their shoulders simultaneously.
It was a sensitive topic that even I would react to without knowing.
Anyway, the person hired for that reason would know that.
He asked again without caring about their reaction.
“Can I hear more details?”
“I think you’ve already heard about it from the director.”
Even though she cut off the sentence because it was a memory she didn’t want to remember, he seemed to have no intention of passing it over properly.
“The director is not the party involved. He didn’t even witness it directly.”
No, he acted as if he was ready to unravel everything.
She didn’t come up with anything to refute.
Rather, as soon as the day’s events were mentioned, the memory was already climbing back then without the will.
After all, the past that wants to be forgotten leaves a clearer mark.
The painful voice was still stuck in her brain.
“You smell so delicious. So, just one bite… Please, let me have just one bite.”
Like a bullet embedded in the flesh.
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.”
