Still, it wasn’t completely fruitless.

I’m not brainy.

So, if you just shut up and memorize it, you will get some results.

After spending so many hours studying with Noh Chang-hoon, I now understand.

“No problem now!”

I declared so and handed the map I had just drawn to Noh Chang-hoon.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at it and then nodded.

And that’s enough, and that’s the end of today’s study.

Of course, I was shocked by those words.

“I wonder why there is anything else to study!”

“How to survive.”

“Survival, how to… ”

“Now you are going to Gijang alone. You know?”

“Well, yeah… I know.”

“Don’t think about making excuses.”

I nodded quietly.

To be honest, I didn’t know any useful knowledge to survive.

I didn’t know anything. To be precise, it might have been that there was no need to know.

All the places I’ve been to so far either have some level of civilization left or have helpers.

Thanks to this, all I had to do was move as I was told.

… And from now on, I have to take care of it myself.

“… Grump.”

A moan naturally came out of my mouth.

No, honestly, it’s so annoying!

I just wanted to focus on fighting, but I didn’t want to learn anything like this.

But given the circumstances, I felt like there was nothing I could do.

So I sighed deeply and spoke to Noh Chang-hoon.

“I’ll be listening to the lecture for another few hours.”

“No, I don’t have time to lecture this time.”

“Then.”

“Do you like reading books?”

Noh Chang-hoon said that and walked to a corner of the classroom.

And very naturally, he lifted up several books and handed them to me.

I squinted and looked at the titles of the books.

survival. survival. Well, I thought there were words like these… It wasn’t.

So I was scared and called Noh Chang-hoon.

“Hey, this… ”

“It’s a professional book. It’s not very fun, but it’s useful.”

“… This guy, are you smiling?”

“Well, it’s fun to read. At least read what I posted at the top.”

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

I smiled and took the books Noh Chang-hoon gave me and listened to them.

Noh Chang-hoon must have felt relieved only then, as he had a wide smile on his face.

Then he opened the door and went out, saying that he had to go to work now.

It seemed like he was probably going to his office in Hyeonrimgwan.

So I immediately followed Noh Chang-hoon.

“What, why are you following me? Want to read it somewhere else?”

“Yes. To read it somewhere else.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Yes.”

Noh Chang-hoon didn’t seem to think it was a big deal that I was following him.

And when I followed him into his office, his expression changed drastically.

I laughed at that. No, whatever. The wife said she would like to read a book next to her husband.

What can anyone say about me?

Coincidentally, Noh Chang-hoon’s office even had a sofa to sit on.

Plus, it’s very soft, and when you sit down, your body submerges.

I couldn’t stand this, so I sat there with my legs crossed and started reading.

Of course, Noh Chang-hoon’s expression was crumpled.

I could roughly guess the reason.

I have to work, but it’s hard to concentrate if I’m here.

But you can’t kick me out, so I have no choice but to wrinkle my face like that.

But I also had something to say.

That guy obviously only picked hard and difficult books and gave them to me.

How long have you been seeing each other so far?

I could tell just by looking at it.

“… Wow!”

“Yes, Yeji… ?”

“Umm… ”

I suppressed my laughter and tried to keep my eyes on the book.

The people who had just entered the office seemed quite embarrassed.

It’s not that I hate being here.

I was just confused because there was someone here who didn’t appear in these situations.

That was certain.

If there really was a problem, Noh Chang-hoon would have asked me politely.

However, Noh Chang-hoon was now controlling his expression and listening to the students’ agenda.

So I was sure that my presence wouldn’t bother him.

So I continued reading with peace of mind.

First of all, the book wasn’t that stiff.

The illustrations were faithful, so I was able to study to some extent.

Moreover, it was fun because the author vividly described his own experiences.

It was fun to read the book like that, but it was also fun to see people’s reactions.

Most of the students were embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

Then, when I saw Noh Chang-hoon’s expression, I acted like I normally did.

On the other hand, older people were not surprised.

Rather, they joked or offered good words.

It’s nice to see the couple’s relationship. They are a lovebird couple.

Well, there are things like that. Thanks to this, Noh Chang-hoon’s expression was very worth seeing.

Although he didn’t show it on the outside, he seemed very angry.

I felt like I could hear the grinning from here, so I didn’t feel bad.

Above all, he had no reason to kick me out.

I am his wife, and I was right next to my husband.

I didn’t say anything and just quietly read the book.

How could Noh Chang-hoon kick me out?

So I smiled and continued reading.

How long did you read and study like that?

When I slowly lifted my head to rest, it was dark outside the window.

So, I was sure that I studied until quite late at night.

Noh Chang-hoon also seemed to have worked until late at night.

He never left the office.

I still went to the bathroom in between, but he didn’t really move.

So I was watching to see when he would move, and he finally got up from his seat.

Then he looked at me and grumbled briefly.

“What kind of wind blew made me read a book here?”

“Just.”

“Thanks to you, I think I’ve heard all the good things I’ve been hearing lately.”

“Did you feel good?”

“Would it have been good?”

Noh Chang-hoon said that, but he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

If he’s really upset, he won’t say anything.

Seeing it fluttering like this made me feel good inside.

I wanted to ask if there was any need to panic if that was going to happen, but I held back.

There are times when you feel embarrassed when you hear a compliment.

So I just laughed and joked.

“Next time, I’ll have to hold your arm at least. Your reaction was interesting.”

“or.”

“Do you think you can’t do it?”

“But now, will I be more embarrassed, or will you be more embarrassed.”

“Hmm.”

“More than anything, you’ve never even held hands with me. Can you bear it?”

“Want to bet?”

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me for a moment and then smiled.

He seemed certain that I would probably fall out first.

I could tell just by looking at him proudly holding out his arms.

So I immediately crossed my arms and responded.

“There has to be a reward for betting.”

“Yes.”

“Is there a punishment that is worth trying even though it is moderately embarrassing?”

“Well, at least use a chair.”

“That’s a bit boring, so how about having the loser get on the winner’s back and do 100 push-ups.”

“Are you confident?”

“Jjol?”

Noh Chang-hoon laughed as if it was absurd, and grumbled that he should adjust his strides better.

Of course, there was no way I couldn’t keep pace.

I’ve never walked with my arms crossed, but I can still pace my steps.

So, very naturally, I walked with Noh Chang-hoon.

Of course, this was not an easy task.

Until now, I had been in a small office, but not anymore.

On the way to the restaurant, most people we met talked to us.

Even people who would have normally just gone their own way were amazed to see us.

Thanks to this, quite a thrilling moment continued.

If I were wrong, I might have lost the bet.

But I exercised patience and held back my embarrassed feelings.

Above all, Noh Chang-hoon also maintained a calm expression, so he could not lose.

So we continued to fight.

It was like that while eating a late dinner at the restaurant, and it was like that when returning to the office.

And after entering the office, I immediately uncrossed my arms.

The reason was simple.

For some reason, I felt like I was getting used to it, so I was scared.

This is it. I wasn’t used to having skinship with him at all.

Of course, when I walked around with my arms folded today, it felt awkward to the point of death.

But when I actually tried it, it was more doable than I thought.

Noh Chang-hoon’s expression was very strange, as if that child felt that emotion too.

It looked like it had something on its arm, like a toad or a frog.

To be honest, I wanted to ask why he was making that kind of expression, but I was able to understand this time.

So I didn’t argue and just grumbled as if joking.

“It seemed familiar? Have you linked arms with women a lot?”

“He said he would help his mother with shopping.”

“Oh.”

“What.”

“No, I think my mother-in-law really liked it because it was reliable.”

“… ”

“… What.”

I was just joking, but the kid’s expression was quite unpleasant.

No, whatever. I understood that it was a joke that might be a little disgusting.

But it’s crossing the line to treat people like cockroaches.

Still, Noh Chang-hoon seemed to be aware of his mistake, and quickly calmed his expression.

But my heart, once broken, did not return.

How many times have I been treated like that?

Every time I tell a joke like this, he makes that kind of face. I wonder if he can feel good about it.

So I didn’t respond for a while, keeping my eyes fixed on the book.

I was going to chew on whatever he said until I felt better.
