While tasting the Mouton 1986 worth tens of millions in the wine glass, Son Ye-jin's mind was completely on the man sitting opposite her.

Humorous, kind, and witty, without any pretense of being smart, nor a sensitive heart.

He is the most normal man I have met in recent years.

"There are many normal men, but you and I are in a not-so-normal circle, and those circles that regard normality as the norm are difficult for people like you and me to come into contact with."

In the world of ordinary people, normality is universal.

But around them, normality becomes an unattainable luxury.

"So do you think I'm normal?" Son Ye-jin wanted to hear the truth from him.

"It's normal, but also not normal... How can I not be affected when I play the role of someone else? I have to wear a different mask every day, right?"

"So, I am a crazy woman too?"

"Everyone who is successful in the eyes of others has a side that is considered crazy. Don't you think so?"

"Cheers to the madman." Son Ye-jin raised her glass high.

"Mad!" Li Zhenyu laughed along.

The two were chatting happily when Xia Zhuxi brought two servings of high-end cuisine into the room.

"President, do you need me to close the door?" Xia Zhuxi asked.

Son Ye-jin's heart was slightly lifted, her shoulders raised, and her muscles tensed.

"Ani!" Li Zhenyu responded casually.

Son Ye-jin's heart calmed down and she leaned back in her chair, feeling relaxed.

"Jinyu, can I ask you a personal question?"

"What?"

"How old are you?"

"What do you think, how old do I look like?"

Son Ye-jin tapped her chin with her finger, rolled her eyes and thought, "Hmm~25 years old."

Li Zhenyu shook his head. "Old or young? Could it be 22 years old?"

"Little." Li Zhenyu gave a hint without any pretense.

Son Ye-jin's eyes widened and she asked, "24 years old?"

"Bin, my birthday is next week."

"Aigu, our Zhenyu should call me Nuna. I wish you a happy birthday in advance. I should give you a gift when the time comes."

“Can I choose for myself?”

"Yeah, tell me what you want, Nuna is very generous."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"What about you, Nuna!"

Son Ye-jin was stunned, blinked and said, "Yes?!"

"I said, I want to give you as a gift."

Li Zhenyu leaned forward, his clear eyes staring into her watery eyes, making Son Yezhen flustered, "Ah~ I'm so hungry, what is this, it looks delicious."

Seeing her clumsily turning the topic to food, Li Zhenyu laughed and said, "Noona, have you never eaten spicy rice cakes? Aren't you really from South Korea, not from abroad?"

"Ah~ stop talking." Son Ye-jin was full of shyness, but had nowhere to escape.

How dare he say that and use myself as his birthday present.

Hey~ah!

"Nuna, eat more of this spicy grilled beef with cheese, it's delicious."

"Inside."

Kimchi pancakes, spicy seafood udon soup, fried pollack, soy sauce shrimp and the ever-present soy sauce crab.

Even high-end Korean food set meals cannot escape the fate of kimchi.

Fortunately, we had his favorite sauced crab, which he never gets tired of eating.

That's why he said he should have been born in a coastal city so that he would not disappoint his stomach that prefers seafood.

While eating, Son Ye-jin suddenly leaned over and held her forehead with her hands, laughing non-stop: "Birthday present, hahahaha..."

Li Zhenyu also laughed and said, "Yes, a birthday present."

"If... I mean if, you get a birthday present, what would you do?"

"Is that gift what I thought it was?"

"Inside."

"Yeah~ running, eating breakfast, doing some exercise together, walking around. Or staying at home, drinking beer on the sofa, watching TV together...

At noon, we were making lunch together and kneading dough in the kitchen. You threw flour on my face, and I fought back with flour. We were both covered in flour and we ended up fighting in the kitchen. ”

As he described, various images appeared in Son Ye-jin's mind.

On a sunny morning, we smiled at each other in front of the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, got up and went for a run together, and sweated side by side along the tree-lined trail.

They looked back at each other from time to time, smiled at each other, and a faint sweetness flowed into their hearts.

After running, the two returned home together and helped each other exercise.

Wash up...

Curled up on the sofa, holding a beer, watching the variety show, laughing at the funny performances.

Then we went to make lunch together. I was kneading dough and wanted to provoke him mischievously, so I dipped my fingers in flour and flicked it on his face.

Not to be outdone, he rushed over, grabbed the flour and threw it at himself.

Powder flew everywhere in the kitchen, and the two of them soon turned into white dough figures, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

Suddenly, my wrist was tightly grasped, and I was pulled into his arms domineeringly. The breaths of the two intertwined, and the air continued to heat up...

Li Zhenyu did not expose her little thoughts, and asked casually: "Why, is this arrangement not good?"

"No, not at all." Son Ye-jin shook her head like a rattle.

Li Zhenyu asked again: "So, will Nuna agree or not?"

"We'll talk about it then. Isn't there still a week left?"

"Today is Friday." Li Zhenyu said with a smile.

Son Ye-jin was speechless and simply stopped answering his questions. Gu Zuoyan just refused to look him in the eye.

"Oh, um, I need to leave for a while." Son Ye-jin suddenly stood up with the help of the handrail.

Li Zhenyu thought for two seconds and asked, "The bathroom is over there."

"Thanks."

Son Ye-jin was about to walk into the passage as she spoke, but her steps were a little shaky, and her right foot hit the wall of the passage, "Ah, hiss..."

Son Ye-jin squatted on the ground, and Lee Jin-woo stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sitting on the ground, Son Ye-jin covered her ankle and said, "I think I sprained my ankle."

"let me see."

Li Zhenyu squatted on one knee, took away her fingers covering her ankle, put his index and middle fingers together and pressed on the raised outer part, "Does it hurt?"

"Hiss, it hurts." Son Ye-jin asked him for help with tears in her eyes.

If she were alone, she would endure the pain and seek help, such as calling an assistant to take her to the hospital.

But with Li Zhenyu by his side, the grievances in his heart suddenly surged up.

No matter how Son Ye-jin tried to persuade herself, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing out, "It hurts so much, so sad."

"Don't move, I think you twisted your arm." Li Zhenyu reached out and picked her up by the waist, holding her back with one hand and supporting her above her leg with the other.

Then, he easily picked her up and walked to the end of the passage.

Turning left is another room with a double bed, a round jacuzzi in the corner, and a TV and clock on the wall.

On the other side was the wardrobe. Looking through it, Son Ye-jin saw a white bath towel placed in the compartment.

Very thick, looks like there are several strips...

Li Zhenyu comforted her by putting her on the bed: "Lie still, I'll go find an ice pack and see if there's any medicine that can prevent it from swelling any more."

At this moment, her outer body had become larger than before.

"Yes~" Son Ye-jin nodded, and seeing him turn around and leave, she couldn't help but call him, "Zhenyu."

"how?"

"Don't keep me waiting alone for too long."

After being injured, she acted particularly vulnerable in front of Li Zhenyu.

Being left alone in this room, Son Ye-jin was very scared and she didn't want to be left alone.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Li Zhenyu turned and left. The moment his back disappeared, Son Yezhen felt a strong sense of loneliness.

Fortunately, Li Zhenyu came back quickly.

He also had two more things in his hands, an ice bag filled with ice cubes and a strange little red bottle.

"This is a medicinal wine from Yan Country. It will have a miraculous effect on your injuries."

He asked Parker for the medicinal wine, and they still had some in stock.

However, there are not many. Normally, unless the injury is serious, they will not use these medicinal liquors.

Instead, I used a substitute I bought from a drugstore outside. The effect was not as good, but it was still effective...

"Really?" Son Ye-jin widened her eyes, as if she wanted to witness a miracle happen with her own eyes.

"Really." After twisting off the bottle cap and noticing her fixed gaze, Li Zhenyu said with a smile, "It won't be too late to wait until I finish applying it. It's just magical, not a magic pill."

"Oh~" Son Ye-jin looked away awkwardly.

Distracting her attention made her ankle feel less painful.

Li Zhenyu poured the medicinal wine into the curved palm pit, put down the medicine bottle, and rubbed his hands gently.

Dip the palms of both hands into the medicinal wine, then place them on her inner and outer exposed protrusions, rubbing them up and down to speed up absorption and evaporation.

"It's hot, Zhenyu... The place where you rubbed is getting hot, and it seems like a stream of... a stream of heat is going in, it feels so good, hmm~"

Son Ye-jin couldn't help but let out a soft moan. It felt so comfortable.

It feels like there are countless little hands as soft as feathers massaging my body and mind.

"Ah~" Son Ye-jin let out another soft moan, but this time the sound was too embarrassing.

When she opened her eyes, the intoxication on Son Ye-jin's face had not yet disappeared. Seeing him still rubbing her ankles seriously, the tension in her heart gradually disappeared with her breathing.

Then, Son Ye-jin couldn't take her eyes off his profile.

The way he carefully applied medicinal wine to himself was really charming.

Different from the previous handsome, more...

The inexplicable emotions inside Son Ye-jin caused her inner barriers to collapse inch by inch.

"Okay." Li Zhenyu stopped rubbing his palms as they turned hot and red.

He stood up and clapped his hands, looking at her equally red ankle and said, "It doesn't look as swollen anymore. Pike really found a treasure."

Such good medicinal wine is not available easily.

Smiling happily, Li Zhenyu put his hands on his hips and looked up. A rosy and delicate face came into view. The fragrance came out of his mouth, and the burning fire in his heart made it turn into a light misty white.

"Nuna, are you okay?" Li Zhenyu said sincerely and put the back of his hand on her forehead.

Hmm, it’s a little hot! When I put it on the back of her neck, it was still a little hot. Could she really have a fever?
