The low trees planted on both sides were all uniquely shaped but formed a harmonious balance. Lanterns sprinkled a warm glow throughout the garden. The ground underfoot was soft, and the sounds of crickets seemed like music.
“The weather has turned quite cold.”
“It’s fall.”
“Yes, it was hot when we left the house.”
For a while, there was no conversation, just the sound of our footsteps crunching the grass. At some point, it felt like I was walking on soft cotton candy rather than in a garden.
“Aren’t you worried, Idrish?”
“About what?”
I turned around to face Idrish.
“Soon, everyone will find out about us. There will naturally be people who want to get rid of us. Perkop, too…”
“Don’t worry.”
Idrish’s answer was short but resolute. I saw a strong will in his eyes.
“Cecilia, you don’t need to worry either.”
A determination to protect me.
My anxiety disappeared as if it were a lie. If Idrish said he’d protect me, then I felt that would indeed be the case. If he wasn’t afraid of anything, I didn’t need to be either.
As long as Idrish was by my side.
My mouth felt parched.
The gentle lemon-colored eyes of Idrish looking at me were dangerously sweet.
My heart started pounding.
He’ll hear it at this rate.
I quickly turned and continued walking in the garden. However, once my heart started pounding, it couldn’t easily calm down. My ears and neck grew hot.
And I had this strange feeling that Idrish was looking at my flushed ears and neck. My skin tingled as I brushed my neck with a cool hand.
“Uh, look at the moon.”
I blurted out anything. My voice sounded more tremulous than usual.
“The moon?”
“It’s become a half-moon. It was full during the festival.”
In response to Idrish’s question, I pointed to the sky. We both stopped and looked up.
The slightly waning moon hung in its place. The sky was filled with clouds that looked like diluted paint. They sometimes obscured the moon, then slowly drifted away.
“It’s beautiful. Don’t you think so, Idrish?”
“We see it every night.”
“Still, even if it’s similar, the real ‘now,’ this moment, won’t come back.”
“I suppose so.”
Idrish readily agreed. I smiled. It was amusing that Idrish acknowledged my sentimental words, even if they were just words.
“Like the last full moon festival will never come back.”
“Full moon festival?”
“Yes, it’s a shame. I got all dressed up and couldn’t even dance one song. I actually learned to dance little by little. Want to see?”
I stood away from Idrish in the middle of the garden.
What was I supposed to do?
I raised my arms and placed them in the air. They were arms that should originally be on a man’s shoulder and hand.
Next, I awkwardly stepped back, then to the side. My head was lowered the entire time so as not to trip over my feet.
Before three beats passed, my feet got tangled and my body wobbled.
“What was next? It’s strange, I did quite well when I was learning, but it’s difficult alone.”
I smiled awkwardly and tucked my hair behind my ear. No longer needing to hide it, my hair, having ceased to be dyed, was once again a reddish color like a plum. Just moving it like that made me breathe harder than usual. Or perhaps it was because my heart had been beating fast all along.
Idrish walked towards me. He stopped in front of me and extended his hand.
I looked at his long, thick hand once, then at Idrish’s calm face once.
Is he asking me to take it?
Unknowingly, I placed my hand on his.
Immediately, Idrish pulled me in. Our chests met, and he wrapped his hand around my waist. I had to lift my head high to see Idrish’s face at such close range.
“Be my partner.”
“There’s no music, is there?”
“We were doing well enough without music.”
Saying that, Idrish took a large step forward. My body was pushed back in response.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
