With Honey, It's Not Bitter Only then did Wu Yunzhu realize that her arms had broken out in a layer of fine goosebumps. She mechanically pulled her coat tighter and followed her mother home. The dirt path beneath her feet was so familiar she could walk it with her eyes closed, yet today it felt like stepping on cotton—each step unsteady and weightless. "Mom, I'm fine." Wu Yunzhu spoke before her mother could, forcing a smile. "I'm just... not used to it yet." Sun Hongying said nothing,…-

Substitute Teaching at the Village Primary School Wu Yunzhu held up the bowl, the warm medicinal fragrance entering her nostrils. She sipped slowly, the sweet yet bitter liquid sliding down her throat, warming her entire body. "Mom," putting down the bowl, Wu Yunzhu hesitated, "Do you think... he'll come back safely?" Sun Hongying didn't answer immediately. She got up and retrieved a small wooden box from deep inside the wardrobe, opening it to take out a stack of yellowed letter paper. "These…

Suddenly, my heart began to flutter. 'Why am I feeling this way?' Ren leaving her house should have been good news. It was news that she no longer needed to protect him, so she should have felt relieved. 'Grandmother is trying to ease my burden and resolve my anxiety.' How could she not understand Vireta's intention to take on this troublesome task? Sharti rubbed her chest under the blanket. Despite her grateful and relieved thoughts, something still felt off. 'He's leaving with Grandmother Vireta,…-

Lying in bed, Sharti first took off her hood and pulled the blanket over herself. ‘Ugh, I feel hot and cold…..My body feels heavy.’ Perhaps it was from the emotional rollercoaster, but her fever seemed to have worsened. She wanted to wear something light, but she had to cover the burn scars. It was a reminder of five years ago that she wanted to hide even more than her voice. Her attempt to sink into melancholy was interrupted as Sharti rubbed her neck. ‘Would it be…

As expected, his right hand was wrapped in bandages. What was strange was that the bandages were focused on his palm rather than the back of his hand. Sharti looked up at Ren with suspicious eyes. 'Let me see your hand.' Sharti pointed at his hand, but Ren only offered her the bowl. "You should eat something since you went to sleep without dinner." Ren recommended with a calm face and deep eyes. Since he had struggled to pick them, Sharti couldn't refuse to eat, so she picked up one berry. They…

When a person is too flustered, they say one becomes speechless. Sharti clutched her head. 'Husband? Newlyweds?' Sharti, who had never even properly dated or recognized others as potential romantic partners until she became an adult at twenty, felt her head growing hot and dizzy from this unexpected misunderstanding. "I'd appreciate it if you were more careful with your words next time." While Sharti was in shock, Ren quickly finished his silent affirmation. Then he moved closer to stand behind…

There wasn't a hint of falsehood in Ren's straight and firm gaze. Sharti bit her lip as her nose tingled once again. Who wouldn't be moved by someone saying they would prioritize her over themselves? 'But.......' Sharti couldn't fully rejoice. That's how the human heart works. When he said he'd leave, she felt empty and dreaded being alone again. Yet when the grace period was extended, she was immediately gripped by fear. 'What if my futile hope turns into greed.' What if she ended up holding Ren…

Sharti carried the heavy basket, happily heading toward the log cabin. Mushrooms, fish, and luckily, even some expensive medicinal herbs were found. Sharti's cheeks were flushed with slight excitement. 'I wanted to collect more. What a shame.' Sharti had a habit of losing track of time and collecting herbs whenever she found an unexpected good harvest. But since Ren was waiting at home, and she had a clear purpose to gather ingredients for his meal, Sharti promised herself next time. 'Huh?' As she…

Sharti didn't dare grip the flower stem too tightly for fear it might be damaged. She hurriedly placed the preciously received flower into a medicine bottle on the table. Though she didn't have a proper flower vase, it created a fitting picture for such a simple flower. "Do you like it? ...ma'am?" Ren watched with slight curiosity as Sharti couldn't take her eyes off the flower. The pale yellow flower he had picked was embarrassingly rough and plain. It was probably a common flower that Sharti, who…

The old log cabin didn't have a hearth in the kitchen. Instead, there was a fireplace in the living room. The fireplace tucked in the corner was in a messy state with dust, cobwebs, and herbs scattered about, having not been used for a long time. Although Ren had belatedly discovered the fireplace, he couldn't touch it without Sharti's permission, so he had just tidied up the area around it whenever he had time. But contrary to Ren's expectations, even on windy days or rainy nights, Sharti ignored…
