145 – Fiancé_3
It’s been awhile since I’ve been unconsciously alert.
Xiao-Mei realized that the man who suddenly showed up was the one Hye-ran Oh said had saved her.
Although she never heard a proper explanation for it.
‘You’ll know when you see it. If you look at him, what can you say, he is very handsome. That’s all I can think of.’
From noble mtl dot com
It was literally.
She was able to understand why Oh Hye-ran had said such a thing.
I’ve never seen such a handsome person on TV.
She even thought that if she did something like an actress or idol, she would become at least a B-class actress just by standing still without any lines.
“Are you okay?”
So she was dazed for a moment before he asked with a worried expression.
‘Ah…’
Bewitched by your looks, you’re talking too much.
He did nothing wrong, and he knows he should thank you for saving him.
But where did the murderous spirit and vengeful spirit that had been nurtured up until now go? Showing such a weak side was not the mindset that an avenger should have.
Xiao Mei shook her head slightly as if to brush off her thoughts.
“Are you…The one who saved me?”
“To say he saved me, that sounds grandiose. She just can’t pretend she didn’t see it, so she’s just messing around.”
“…I see, thank you.”
Even so, she received help. It was only natural that she would pay respect to him.
Xiao Mei tried to raise her body from the bed she was lying on.
“It’s okay if you don’t do that. As a cadet at Laplace Academy, as a prospective hero, I just did the obvious thing.”
It’s only natural.
Xiaomei knows.
Whether it’s an academy cadet or a prospective hero, the courage to deal with dozens of villains, and meddling in things that don’t belong to one’s job aren’t the kind to be put simply.
Even if you have skills, you are afraid of the dark.
Retaliation may come later, or villains may threaten the family.
Nevertheless, he stepped out and saved himself again.
He deserved the appreciation.
No, he wasn’t grateful. He didn’t mind asking anything of himself.
If he had been dragged away, he would have died.
Nevertheless, he didn’t want anything, he just looked at him as if he was more concerned and took care of him even more.
I heard something like respect for a moment.
Something seemed to overlap.
‘Professor Xuen is for the students…’
As if…
“—I’m sorry I disturbed your peaceful rest.”
After a short conversation, she raises the blanket that has been lowered in consideration for herself who is having trouble moving her body. I saw his back as he smiled kindly and left.
‘…’
He was a good man.
That’s how time passed.
He often visited the hospital for nursing care.
“How are you today?”
“It’s okay.”
As a result, we were able to share many stories.
At first, it was mainly about the state of the body, but it didn’t take long. Small talk about TV programs, books, and perhaps the weather continued.
“So then—”
After that, we would talk about her personal circumstances, as if a little intimacy had developed.
“Why are you helping me so much, senior?”
Let’s say she came to take the Laplace Academy entrance exam.
‘Then I must be the senior. Call me senior No, I think this is a bit like an old man.’
As the story progressed, Shao Mei, who came to call Lee Seong-hyun a senior, asked what she had been wondering about.
That he has a very kind and courageous mind was fully evident from his conversations and actions.
However, with only a brief meeting and treatment, he had done all he had to do.
Still, he couldn’t figure out why he was wasting his time taking care of and helping him.
“Oh, that’s… A bit embarrassing.”
“Can you hear me?”
“Which professor are you copying?”
‘Which professor?’
Who is it?
I was curious.
“Professor?”
“Yes, Professor. You are no longer there.”
I felt a bit of bitterness, an expression that seemed like tears would come out just by touching it.
‘No…?’
“Last year’s monster… No, anyway, that’s why. Are you disappointed?”
Seonghyun Lee was about to say something, but he shook his head and mumbled his words.
Xiao Mei sensed something, but when she saw his distressed expression, she didn’t ask any more.
“No.”
Executing it out of respect is another story.
And it was he who saved me and helped me.
I did express my gratitude. There was nowhere to be disappointed.
“It was a senior who helped me.”
“…I’m just imitating you.”
“No.”
Xiaomei grabbed his hand.
“Thank you.”
There was such a trivial story.
“Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon, last year’s monster. A professor who isn’t there… Oh, if that’s the case.”
The sequel to that trivial story.
Xiao Mei asked Hye-ran Oh what she was curious about.
“Monster terror incident by villain. It was a pity that Professor Xuen and Professor Nambong Lee passed away. Perhaps cadet Lee Seong-hyun at that time was a victim who was caught up in that terrorist incident? Anyway, why?”
“…”
There was another story.
**
Acting is quite enjoyable.
I was able to understand why the job of an actor has high job satisfaction in its own way.
Of course, it was a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t see my performance as a video like the actors.
Excluding that, it was fun to see how the other person’s reaction gradually changed due to acting.
“Senior, let’s rest for a bit.”
On the outskirts of the academy, walking area.
Now, the word “Senpai” Rang out from Xiao Mei’s mouth, completely sticking to her.
The way he treated me politely at first is now hard to find.
Anyway, Xiao-Mei looked tired.
No matter how much Oh Hye-ran worked hard for a week in a row, it was difficult for that kind of wound to heal at once, so it was a natural reaction.
Rather, it’s only been a week. If it was enough to go out for a walk, it would be safe to say that it had phenomenal healing power and tenacity.
“Is that so?”
Looking around, there was a suitable bench, so I grabbed Xiao-Mei’s hand and pulled it.
It was to appeal that he was considerate of his body because he was uncomfortable.
“Sun…”
“Why?”
“No.”
At that, Xiaomei’s face seemed to turn a little red. She immediately lowered her head and sat down on the bench following my guidance.
“The weather is nice.”
“I see.”
“Come to think of it, the entrance exam will be held soon, right?”
The first thing she experienced after being possessed was an interview, the next step after the entrance exam.
I don’t remember about the entrance exam. Seeing that the owner of the original body, which had no special abilities, passed through, it didn’t seem that difficult.
Perhaps if she was Xiao Mei, she seemed to pass lightly.
If you go through the interview well, wouldn’t it be possible to get a higher class from A to B?
‘I hope it goes well.’
That way you can use it.
Even if you go down, you will use it somehow, but if you want to go as planned, the upper class is better.
Even so, she couldn’t give advice because she didn’t know about the entrance exam.
“Yes, about a week left.”
“How about getting intensive treatment in a hospital?”
“I can’t cause more trouble than this.”
“Because it’s not lungs.”
“Even so.”
Now it’s all about consideration, kindness, and kindness, so words don’t pass by.
Anyway, the treatment was planned to secretly use Paladin on the last day.
Falling meant a change in plans, and what remained on the computer was a bit difficult to erase.
She didn’t even have a human involved there.
‘Should I organize a group of hackers?’
But it was pretty hard to do a perfect crime on the computer, so not doing it at all was the easiest way.
Let’s arrange the hacker group later.
“You…”
However, she sighed moderately frustrated in order not to show off to Xiao Mei that she was thinking this way.
“Senior than that. I have a question, can I ask you?”
“It’s hard to tell you about the entrance exam.”
“What do you see me as? She has no intention of committing a cowardly foul.”
“Really? Other than that, didn’t you ask about the contents of the entrance exam before?”
“That is…”
Xiao Mei slurred her words.
“That?”
“Should I say it was a momentary mistake? Should I say it was a one-time miss… what is that expression?”
“No, no nothing.”
“Anyway, there is something I really want to hear. May I ask you a question?”
Then she clumsily turned her words around.
Is there anything more curious than that?
‘Is that the question?’
There is no guesswork.
The reason she came here is related to ‘that’.
But she can’t reveal it now.
The time and place were also important.
“Senior, which professor you talked about the other day… Can I hear the story?”
“…”
So she kept silent.
“Oh, um. No intention whatsoever. That has nothing to do with me… No… That’s…”
It was Xiao-Mei who was trying to persuade her to see if she took it as a sign that she didn’t want to talk about it.
“Why are you curious about that?”
I continued as if I couldn’t help Xiaomei’s efforts.
“Was it a nuisance?”
“No, not that. It’s not a good story to hear. Do you still want to hear it?”
“…Yes.”
I heard footsteps in the distance.
I thought of a way to lightly spill the story.
That’s why it dragged on for a while.
I tried to open my mouth as if I had finished worrying about how long it would have taken.
“ㅅ…”
“Sung Hyun-ah, what are you doing here?”
A familiar voice.
I saw a woman sweating profusely even in the middle of winter.
It was Han Yuri.
