Transmigration Diary 47
Head down—interlaced fingers—whisper—
“Cefalina…… if we never had children—could you still be with me?”
Cefalina blank—ears pink—thought it was flirting—arms tighter—chin on shoulder—
“Don’t be insecure—low match—we try daily—”
Bold tiny voice—“Do enough—you’ll get pregnant—”
Silence too long—
Wrong—step back—lamplight—
Wen Shiyu’s eyes—sadness—reluctance—grief she could not read—
Alpha now—why talk like no children ever—
Serious thought—
No child—flash of regret—
Heir pressure—harder road—
But—
“Even so—” eyes steady—“I still want you—”
Soft firm—“I like Wen Shiyu most—”
Red to neck—“Want a baby now—because it’s yours—”
Never another for a child—
“Later…… adopt if something’s missing—”
Unexpected—
Warmth in chest—wind in hair—
Moved—and more sorry—trust—future planned—
“Then—” dry—“If I die young—”
Look in her eyes—“Still want me?”
Frozen—
Ice pick—
Worse than no child—family—unrequited—
Fingers on cuff—
“Why say that—”
Not joking—sorrow too real—
Secret she dared not speak—
Imagined—white bed—closed eyes—photo—memory only—
Heart clenched—bend—
But—
If early death—how leave her alone—how let her love another—
Cupped face—study—
Cannot let go—
Only clearer how important—
Forehead to forehead—“Then you cannot leave—only I can care for Wen Shiyu—”
Stunned—that answer—
She pushed for Cefalina’s good—healthier longer match—
Cefalina feared her lonely—afraid—
First time asked herself—
If doomed—what with limited life—not flee—not push love—
“I want to be with Cefalina too—”
Eyes sting—hand—kiss—
“Cefalina—” tremor—“I just…… don’t want you hurt—”
Abandoned by birth parents—never thought someone would stand shoulder to shoulder—
Not selfish—
“I know—”
Tight hug—
Genetic illness before—she called it lie—incomplete records—
Guilt instead—
Ten fingers locked—
“Wen Shiyu—” light firm—“If you’re sick—we test—face it together—okay?”
Shining amber—pretty—gentle—stronger than thought—
Tight—“……Okay—”
Embrace—uneasy but closer—
Not distance—orbit joined—
——
After—goodbye—
Warm home—parents watching TV—
Snack offer—
“Dad, Mom—I’m going back to the academy—”
“Must it be now?” Father frown—“Cavendish—”
Too small to help—
Mother worry—and something mothers know—
“Shiyu—do you…… like that Cefalina?”
Lamplight hug—certain—
“Yes—” clear—“I love her—I want to be with her—”
Eyes closed—must let her risk—
“Then—I support you—”
“Call often—”
Grip—“I will—”
Sister ran—“Come back soon—”
Rub head—“I’ll pass exams—graduate—”
Harder test—Cavendish approval—
——
Dawn—luggage—Cefalina downstairs—
Gold in morning light—eyes bright—
Su Yan and Charlotte in other car—wave—
VIP lounge—
Cefalina held her hand—
“Back—we test first—”
Understood—result before “transmigration”—
“Okay—”
Su Yan complex at Charlotte’s phone—
“Why—‘how to split Cefalina and Wen Shiyu’ group?”
Charlotte shrug—“Isabella’s group—I convinced her I’m on split side—don’t talk—spy when they fail—”
Su Yan dry—“If they succeed—you get intel—”
Eye roll—“Not sharing—”
“Not a blessing lamp—”
Su Yan sighed—Cefalina on Wen Shiyu’s shoulder—hair tangled—
“Won’t split—”
Trials bind tighter—
Charlotte scrolling—“Plans trash—seduce Wen Shiyu—money betrayal—high-match Alpha to Cefalina—”
Sigh—“None work—”
……
Hours—descent—familiar land—Saint Winsor—transmigration start—
Sun harsh—Cefalina’s grip—
“We’re here—”
Nervous—for reason—
No hospital chance—
Arrival—black sedans—
Elegant blonde woman—Cefalina’s features—cold authority—
Isabella Mrs. Cavendish—
“Cefalina—my car—”
Shield Wen Shiyu—“Mother—”
“Second car—” not looking at Wen Shiyu—“Move—no tantrum—”
Confused—look at Wen Shiyu—
“Go—” touch knuckles—“I’m fine—”
Mother’s car—head turned back—watching Wen Shiyu board—
Mother rubbed temples—daughter all on Wen Shiyu—
Secret flight to China—open defiance—new strategy—
Control not chaos—
“Cefalina—I allow you with Wen Shiyu—for now—”
Finger—“Play only—meet approved Alphas too—”
“Not playing—no other Alphas—”
Unmoved—tantrum child—“Meet them—then decide—” coax—
“If none—you’re free—”
Forehead—“You said it—”
Eyes closed confident—
——
Wen Shiyu’s door—young blonde girl—family resemblance—soft not proud—
Omega bending for luggage—slow—neck exposed—
Wen Shiyu lifted herself—trunk—
Omega wanted seat—sweet voice—
Polite nod—step away—
Two burning stares—Su Yan Charlotte—fake smile—shiver—
