This is not the date I wanted.

"I have a solution. Mengyue, please wait for me here for a while."

Having said that, Shiori walked into the church and talked to the activists inside.

……

"Okay. They agreed to let us experience the wedding."

Soon, Shiori came back with a victorious smile.

"Eh? It's ok? Shiori, what did you do?"

Meng Yue was surprised and turned to look inside the door, only to see the employees inside looking at her with very warm eyes, which made her very confused.

"Well, how should I put it? I knew a little bit about the clerk's personality, so I lied a little. 'Her parents died in an accident, and she has been alone ever since. She has become withdrawn and doesn't trust anyone, so I wanted to take this opportunity to tell her how I feel about her, to tell her that she is not alone, and that I am willing to stay by her side like a wife' - something like that."

Shiori replied with a wry smile.

"...Is this okay?"

Meng Yue looked amazed. Is there such an operation? Is it true that the clerk inside has watched too many Korean dramas or something?

"Did that cause you any trouble?"

Shizhi cast a pitiful look at Mengyue.

"No, not at all!"

Meng Yue put her doubts behind her without saying a word.

————————————————————I am the dividing line where I begin to experience————————————————

"I never thought that after coming into this world as a woman... I would have the opportunity to wear clothes like this."

After adjusting her collar and standing in front of the mirror in the dressing room, Meng Yue couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions as she looked at herself in a white evening dress.

"Groom, are you ready?"

As if she had noticed the time when Mengyue had changed her clothes, the female clerk who had been talking to Shizhi at the reception desk walked in.

"It's no problem. And thank you for agreeing to Shidao... Shiori's willful request."

Perhaps because she felt a little guilty about lying to gain the other person's sympathy, Meng Yue apologized in a low voice.

"That's not true. It's a pity that we can't hold a formal wedding for you. Keep up the good work. There are still many beautiful things in life. Oh, by the way, big sister is also very supportive of yuri love."

The other party waved his hand without any concern, looking very enthusiastic like a senior in life, which made Meng Yue feel even more guilty.

(But... both parents died, and I'm all alone...?)

In a sense, Shiori was not lying.

"Then come over here when you are ready. The bride is ready."

"oh oh!"

Meng Yue was pulled out of the room by the energetic female clerk and walked through the long corridor. At the entrance of the main hall of the church, she saw a figure waiting for her.

"—!"

For a moment, Meng Yue was speechless at the beautiful scene before her.

Holding a beautiful bouquet in her hands, her long aqua blue hair lightly covered by the veil is as pure as the blue sky. The white wedding dress wraps her tall body, making her look like a dream, and she is as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale.

"Shiori..."

"Don't tell me what the costumes say. Please!"

Shiori said with a complicated expression.

“Oh… I see. But why do you have to go to this extent…”

Meng Yue nodded blankly, looking at Shizhi in front of her in a wedding dress, and a bit of doubt appeared in her eyes.

"Hey, Meng Yue."

A faint cherry color appeared on her cheeks, and Shiori looked at Mengyue with a gentle and elegant smile.

"As I said before, I cannot marry you. Even today, my words have not changed. But today is different. Only today, I am willing to answer your request as Gokawa Shiori."

"—!"

For some reason, the words spoken by the person in front of her deeply shook her heart, and Mengyue felt that even her voice had become strange.

"Hey, Shiori. I feel like crying because of happiness..."

"No."

Shiori shook his head slightly.

"This is a wedding. As a return gift, I hope to see Meng Yue's happy smile."

"Yes! Thank you...Shidou."

He did it with a bit of gratitude, Mengyue smiled slightly, and like a real groom, he reached out to Shizhi and held her hand tightly in it.

Walking along the red carpeted road and through the empty auditorium, Mengyue and Shizhi arrived in front of the store clerk who was acting as the master of ceremonies.

"Liang Yi Meng Yue. Are you willing to marry her? And love her and be faithful to her, no matter poverty, illness, or disability, until death."

"I am willing."

"Gokawa Shiori. Are you willing to marry her? And love her and be faithful to her, no matter poverty, illness, or disability, until death."

"I am willing."

After the two looked at each other, they smiled at the same time and answered in a voice without confusion.

Then, after they exchanged vows, another clerk suddenly came out and handed a pair of glass rings to the two.

"Oh, they've actually gone to this extent. The service here is really thoughtful."

"What, what should I do, Mengyue? This isn't a real diamond, is it?! Did I do something terrible?!"

"Who knows? It's too late to regret it now."

Meng Yue chuckled happily, put the ring on the other person's ring finger, and then put the other one on her own ring finger.

To be honest, Meng Yue knew very well in her heart that this wedding was fake, the wedding ring on her hand was fake, and even the peerless beauty in front of her that she had always dreamed of was fake.

But even so, there must be something real and precious between her and him.

"Shiori..."

"Dream Moon..."

They called out to each other softly, and then they both seemed to quiet down in unison, enjoying this silent time.

Finally, gently and slowly, the two people's lips intertwined together so inadvertently.

Mengyue Birthday (Friday)

==============================

A child cannot remain a child forever. The same is true for the child named Guan Meng.

The knowledge learned gradually increased, and the number of children of the same age around them continued to increase. The small world that the children originally lived in was also constantly absorbing external things and expanding.

He discovered that everyone was different from him. On their birthdays, they did not need to go to a cold grave to suffer from the cold. Instead, they could stay in their warm homes, eat delicious cakes, receive all kinds of fun toys, and spend their birthdays with the love and blessings of their parents.

A little bit, just a little bit, the child didn't even know that a seed of jealousy was planted deep in his heart and took root.

Later, when my child was in the second or third grade, on the day before Christmas, in order to liven up the atmosphere in class, the teacher asked everyone about their Christmas plans.

Going to a restaurant with family to eat a big meal, attending a Christmas party, going to an amusement park, helping people in the store... There are a variety of answers, but there is no doubt that every child is full of anticipation for Christmas.

Then, unknowingly, the teacher called his name, and the child answered honestly with a bit of displeasure.

——Tomorrow is my birthday, my father and I are going to visit the grave.

“…………Puh—Hahahahahahaha!”

The lively atmosphere was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down upon it. After a long silence, the classroom suddenly burst into laughter.

The child realized for the first time how hurtful unconscious malice can be.

Although the teacher immediately condemned and stopped the students who laughed at him, the psychological trauma left behind still makes him feel a little breathless when he thinks back on it.

After returning home, the child felt very aggrieved, but he did not cry to his father due to an inexplicable sense of self-esteem. He thought that his father would surely realize such a thing himself.

However, things did not go as planned. As the anniversary of my mother's death approached, my father became much colder towards me. Perhaps he was immersed in the sadness of the deceased and ignored many things, but for today's children, it was like adding fuel to the fire and adding a heavy blow.

Then, on Christmas Day, when his father held his hand and prepared to go to the grave as usual, the child finally couldn't help but explode. He shook off his father's hand and started arguing with him.

The content of the quarrel... I can't remember it, or I don't remember it at all. The child's tone at that time was not so much crying as scolding, just to protect himself and favor himself. At that moment, the child forgot all the kindness his father had shown him, and he was like finding fault with his father, using all kinds of excessive words to scold his father. As he talked, looking at his father who was at a loss for words, the child felt inexplicably refreshed.

——It doesn’t matter what happens to the dead, so…

Snapped--!

Suddenly, a loud slap hit his face. The burning pain on his cheek made the child stunned. Then, tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.

——Hate it! I hate my dad the most! Since you think mom is more important than me, go find her by yourself!

Without even looking at his father, the child just hid in his room crying.

——————————————————————I am back to the dividing line of the topic————————————————————

December 12th, 25: p.m.

"call……"

In the dressing room of the men's fashion area, Gokawa Shido, who had transformed back into a man, looked at himself in the mirror wearing men's clothes and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah. It feels like I'm grounded..."

As he said this, Shidao even felt that he was so moved that he wanted to cry. Because of all the things that happened today that he couldn't bear to look back on, he gave up on himself and awakened some strange sexual fetish - such a thing didn't happen! It's really great!

"Shidou. Have you changed your clothes?"

"Well, I've changed it. I'll be right there."

Hearing Mengyue's urging voice outside the locker room, Shidou quickly put on his shoes and walked out.

"Yeah, he's quite handsome. As expected, clothes make the man."

Meng Yue glanced at Shidao with a scrutinizing look and nodded with satisfaction. This made Shidao feel a little proud.

"And then what are the sizes of the clothes? Are there any that don't fit?"

"Yeah, it's just the right size."

"Really? Then buy this one."

After confirming with Shidao that the clothes were the right size, Mengyue went to the cashier to pay.

Seeing that the girl who originally came in with Mengyue had been replaced by a boy at some point, the cashier's face was full of confusion and surprise. However, after Mengyue fooled the other party by saying that Shizhi had left for something and that this man was her brother, the other party still accepted it half-believingly.

After paying the money, Shidao and Mengyue didn't plan to walk around any longer or take a long detour to visit, so they went straight home.

"But to be honest, I'm a little surprised."

On the way, Shidou sighed with a surprised tone.

"I didn't expect you would ask me to change back into a boy. I thought you wanted me to stay a girl and accompany you until we get home."

"Hey~ That's what I was planning to do originally."

Shrugging helplessly, Meng Yue sighed with great regret, her amber eyes filled with resentment.

"It's Shidou's fault. He just did something so outrageous that my heart is still beating wildly. If I don't change back quickly, my rationality will definitely evaporate. I kidnapped you, tampered with your memory with DEM's black technology, and ran away with Shiori-chan without telling Tohka or the others."

"Haha... this joke is not funny at all, Mengyue."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"..."

For a moment, he felt as if he had just brushed shoulders with death, and cold sweat broke out on Shidao's forehead.

"Well, thank you very much, Mengyue. I will pay you back for the clothes later."

"No need, why are you being so polite to me? I originally agreed to give you a Christmas present. Although it's not special, this dress will be your Christmas present. And--"

Meng Yue waved her hand and said, then looked at the shopping bag in her other hand, which contained the dress and underwear that Shizhi had just changed out of, which still had the faint scent and warmth of the girl's body.

"The Christmas gift I want most is right here! A set of clothes is nothing, I would even buy out the entire store in exchange!"
