In the moonlight, Starry looked gentle and calm.
She seemed to have returned to normal, or maybe not.
Starry was focused. Filip swallowed, feeling a bit sour.
"Who is there?"
Suddenly, a male voice came. Filip and Starry subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Light came over, which pricked Starry's eyes. She raised her hand to block it. When she was adjusted, the patrol staff had already walked up to them.
"Who are you?"
The staff pointed at them with the flashlight. Starry subconsciously turned her head to avoid the strong light.
Filip also frowned and moved in front of her, blocking Starry from the staff.
He looked at the staff, "We're here to visit our friends."
The staff didn't quite believe it. "At night?"
Filip knew that this was unbelievable. No one would come here on a rainy night.
But he remained calm.
The staff looked at them. From the way they dressed, they should be rich. They shouldn't be doing bad things. "It's raining. Why don't you come during the day? And how did you get in?"
"We came here during the day."
Filip's face didn't change at all when telling the lie.
The staff looked at him, muttering that it was impossible. But seeing Filip's calm look, he was sort of unsure. "You guys have been here since daytime?"
The staff asked again.
Filip nodded, "We didn't notice the closing time, so we stayed until now."
Seeing that Filip insisted, the staff didn't want to argue.
After all, what else can they do here? Stealing ashes of the dead in fancy clothes?
"Then get out! It's still raining. Aren't you guys cold?"
Filip glanced back at Starry, and looked back at the staff, "Then please open the door for us."
The staff was kind of annoyed. "Take the side door, the main entrance is too far."
Then he went to the other side with his umbrella and flashlight.
Filip looked back at Starry. "Let's go back."
Starry, who had been silent all the time, looked up at him, nodded, and replied, "Okay."
The two men followed the staff and got out of the cemetery through the side door.
The rain was still falling, the wind was cold, Starry subconsciously looked over to Filip. He was only wearing a shirt after giving his coat to her. The wind got into his shirt bulging. She realized that he wasn't wearing more than her.
Starry took off the coat and handed it back to him, "Put it on. I'm not that cold."
She had a coat on.
Starry's finger trembled when the wind hit on her after taking off Filip's warm coat.
Filip looked down at her and frowned slightly, "No."
He did not take his coat back but continued walking with the umbrella.
Their cars were all stopped at the main entrance of the cemetery. They had to walk for a while.
