"I'm all dressed up..."

Zhiye smiled at me as she buttoned up the last button on my clothes.

"I could actually do this myself,"

I said, my face slightly flushed.

"I'm more than happy to do it, even if it means washing Jie's underwear with my own hands..."

Zhiye continued to smile.

"That's enough... Washing underwear and all..."

No matter what Zhiye thought, I felt embarrassed.

"By the way, my clothes and Zhiye's clothes have different styles, but the colors are somewhat similar. Why is that?"

I looked at the dark blue long-sleeved coat that Zhiye was wearing.

"This is the uniform of Shen Yu Middle School."

"Uniform?"

"Yeah, Jie and I go to the same school."

"School is a place where many people of our age learn together, right?"

"Does Jie know?"

"I don't know why I know, but it just came out spontaneously."

"Is that so? But as Jie said... school is a place for learning, so we are going to school later."

"Going to school..."

I showed a slightly worried expression. Although I didn't feel completely unfamiliar with school, and my brain seemed to know exactly what was being taught at school, would I be able to communicate and get along well with so many people of my age?

"Don't worry, Jie, because we are in the same class and even sitting next to each other."

Seeming to sense my worries, Zhiye said this to alleviate my concerns.

"That's a relief..."

I felt somewhat comforted. If I couldn't handle it, maybe Zhiye could help me.

"I won't let Jie be alone... Absolutely not... So Jie just needs to be happy and worry-free every day."

"Isn't that too selfish?"

I suddenly blurted out.

"Not selfish. Jie is not selfish with any requests. People we dislike or find annoying disappearing from this world, or even if the world were to be destroyed, I would make it happen for Jie..."

Zhiye's tone didn't sound like a joke at all, but the idea of making someone disappear or destroying the world never crossed my mind, and I didn't have the intention to make anyone I disliked or found annoying disappear.

"I don't have such thoughts... But... I shouldn't enjoy everything by myself... Zhiye is my fiancé... So I should also share some of the burden with Zhiye."

This was my most genuine thought, and it wasn't about completely relying on Zhiye.

"Jie..."

"Why is Zhiye crying?"

"Because... I'm just so happy... couldn't help it..."

Zhiye laughed with tears in her eyes. The scene from yesterday suddenly flashed in my mind – Zhiye holding a fruit knife, ready to cut her wrist. Fortunately, I stopped her, but the memory of it sent shivers down my spine.

Zhiye said she wanted to commit suicide because I didn't wake up.

As for why I didn't wake up, I didn't want to ask about it again, afraid of bringing back bad memories for Zhiye. After all, she seems happy now.

But still, I said with a concerned tone, "Zhiye... promise me not to do anything foolish."

"Huh? Jie, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Zhiye seemed surprised...

"Because I don't want to see Zhiye get hurt or anything... After all..."

"No matter what you ask me to do, Jie, I will do it."

"Then... don't hurt yourself, don't overwork yourself, and... don't make breakfast so extravagant... do less housework too."

From yesterday until now, Zhiye has been busy almost non-stop. Even when she sleeps, she waits for me to fall asleep before going to bed. I actually wanted to say that co-sleeping wasn't necessary, but seeing how serious she was, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"But... I want to give Jie the best life..."

Zhiye hesitated, but I firmly said, "Didn't Zhiye just say she would do anything I asked?"

"That's true."

"Then, follow what I said... Is that okay?"

"Um..." Zhiye nodded,

"The school starts at 8 o'clock, right?" I glanced at the clock on the desk and asked,

"Yes... We have to be at the school before 8 o'clock..."

"It's already 7:40..."

"Jie... I'm afraid if we don't hurry up, we will be late,"

Zhiye also became flustered involuntarily.

"Let's hurry to the school then..."

After saying that, I ran with Zhiye towards the school.
