I walked unsteadily inside. I could feel the gaze following me from behind, and I couldn’t relax until the end. Finally, I stealthily entered the midst of the mole-people.
The people sitting there looked at me suspiciously.
I signaled with my hand to keep it quiet without being noticed.
“I came to help.”
“No, not an old man!”
“Hush, hush!”
Those gathered silenced me.
It wasn’t very difficult to persuade them. Initially, everyone hesitated due to the risk of being exposed, but eventually, they agreed. The reason was that all the physically healthy men and women among their families had been conscripted for the war.
In order to help them even a little or for a quick return home, they willingly decided to poison Agila’s provisions.
Having conveyed all the precautions about the poison, I sat at the edge of the labor camp. It’s three steps to the sentries with regular human strides, and then four steps to the narrow alley beyond.
Finally, I lifted my head and exchanged eye greetings with the remaining mole people.
Please take care! The future depends on your hands.
They also looked at me fervently. Although we didn’t speak, it was clear that our hearts were not so different.
And not long after, a small light flickered in the nearby alley where I was. It was the signal agreed upon with Idris. They’re ready.
I took a deep breath and watched for the right timing. At that moment, the sentry next to me yawned widely. Now.
I quickly transformed into a hedgehog. Only the clothes, like a crumbling shell, remained in my place. I ran straight towards Idris’s light.
Legs, work!
“Huh?”
When the sentry felt something strange and turned around to look, Idris had already grabbed me and left the place at an incredible speed.
We moved cautiously and returned to the house where I had borrowed mole-people clothes a while ago. Because I left the clothes scattered without putting them on, when I transformed into a human, I was naked without a stitch. I relied on the starlight coming through the window and fumbled to put on the clothes I had left behind.
“Was there any problem with the stars? Didn’t we get caught?”
“We were noticed, but there was no problem.”
“Is everything done then?”
“Yeah. But first, shouldn’t you put on your clothes and talk?”
“Okay, okay. Wait a moment. Women’s clothes need a lot of tying. So, how many people did you handle?”
“I don’t know. I don’t remember. I’ll do it for you.”
Idris was standing behind me.
“I was afraid of that, so I stole a lot of Agila’s explosives. That seems to be the purpose.”
Idris pointed to one corner. A pile of explosives was stacked there.
When did he steal so much in that short time?
Idris pressed his lips against my neck. A moist sound quickly heated the darkness.
“It tickles.”
Idris pulled my waist a bit more and hugged me. He rested his head on my shoulder as if sulking.
“It was so painful to just watch. I thought about taking you out after killing everyone there dozens of times.”
“Huh?”
“I even considered not letting you follow me into such a dangerous place in the future.”
“But today, wouldn’t you have suffered much more if I weren’t there?”
I turned toward Idris. His face was blurry due to the darkness, but his eyes sparkled vividly.
“No, even so, you must never do it again. Even if I have to kill dozens or hundreds more, I would rather choose that path.”
Idris was firm. Yes, today I sneaked in without permission. No wonder Idris was angry and worried.
I hugged Idris’s waist.
“I understand. I won’t sneak in like this again.”
Idris also hugged me tightly as if about to burst.
Ugh, I can’t breathe. I raised my face and lightly kissed him.
“Let’s not do this here. Let’s go outside. I’m terrified we might get caught and die.”
“Yeah, let’s get out of here quickly.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
