"This is my sister Feiya's room. You can sleep in her bedroom tonight," It was already ten o'clock in the evening, almost bedtime, so I arranged a place for Xia to sleep.

"It's quite a girly room..." Xia surveyed the bedroom and said.

"That's true... well then, you go ahead and sleep," I casually said and was about to leave. In reality, I felt a bit uncomfortable staying in a girl's bedroom, even if it was my sister's.

After I finished speaking, I was about to leave and bring Xia along with me, but Xia said something that almost made me slip.

"Yuu, why don't you sleep with Xia..." Even though I was shocked after hearing it, I tried to remain calm and ignore her words.

"Miss Xia, goodnight." But Xia's words caught me off guard.

"Xia would be delighted, not at all bothered." Xia welcomed it with a smile.

"Please, girls shouldn't say things like that."

"It depends on the person. In this aspect, Xia only allows Yuu..."

Suddenly, Xia turned shy, causing my face to heat up.

"Goodnight!" This feeling was extremely awkward, and the longer I stayed, the stranger it felt. So I quickly left.

Leaning against the door, my heart was still racing. I really couldn't understand why...

Perhaps it was because I stayed in Feiya's room for too long. That room filled with the scent of perfume made my brain lack oxygen.

Returning to my own bedroom felt like being rescued. I had never felt so at ease and comfortable in my own bedroom.

I lay in bed, ready to get a good night's sleep. Unconsciously, my consciousness became hazy, and I entered a dream.

"Yuu's sleeping face is so cute. The more Xia sees it, the more intense her desire to launch a night assault becomes."

"Xia has started. Thank you for the hospitality..."

I heard noises in my blurred consciousness, and I heard voices speaking. When the other party was about to launch an attack, I already opened my eyes and, with the moonlight, I saw the person clearly.

"Miss Xia, what are you doing?!" I turned on the light and saw Xia lifting the thin blanket, her movements freezing in place.

"Goodnight, Yuu..." She simply lied down on the bed, as if breaking a jar.

"Miss Xia!"

"What's wrong?" Xia blinked her eyes, pretending to be clueless.

"You're sleeping on my bed right now..."

"Yeah... Is there a problem, Yuu?"

While speaking as if she didn't know anything, she pulled the thin blanket towards her side.

"You better get back to your own bedroom!" I rudely pulled the blanket back and loudly told Xia.

"Why? Xia just followed the normal course of action for a night assault."

"Could you please not say it so nobly? Besides, night assaults are not allowed."

"It seems Yuu is easier to approach when he's dead asleep. It's even safer to drug you before that," Xia muttered.

"In that case, I should consider locking the door."

"Why would you lock the door? That's so strange, Yuu."

"Not locking the door is what's strange. Alright, alright, just go back to your own bedroom quickly."

As I spoke, I pushed Xia towards the door. Xia was only wearing a thin silk nightgown at the time, so I didn't dare to exert too much force and stumbled over my own feet. Finally, I managed to escort her back to her room. As I turned around to close the door and go to bed, a voice of resentment behind me made my hair stand on end.

"Jie... you secretly betrayed me and had an affair with her. Jie's wrongdoing is unforgivable."

The glimmering blade sent chills down my spine.

"It's not what you think, and besides, Xia suddenly snuck into my room."

"I'll make sure Jie dies without suffering, so we can be together forever. I've always looked forward to this, and now I can finally do it."

Zhiye really swung the knife at me, and in that instant, time seemed to freeze and I felt suffocated. But soon enough, I regained my senses and successfully dodged the attack.

"Zhiye, calm down. It's not what you think."

I tried to persuade her.

"Can't Jie stop hiding? That way, I can't guarantee that she won't suffer and die in agony."

Soon, I was forced into a corner. I never expected this to happen, let alone to die like this. No matter how much I explained, Zhiye just wouldn't listen. It was as if she was in her own world.

So, reluctantly, I closed my eyes and waited for this moment to come. But the next second, I heard the sound of the knife falling to the floor.

"Why... I can't bring myself to do it."

I opened my eyes to see Zhiye, tears streaming down her face.

"Why does it hurt so much? Just seeing Jie with another girl feels like my heart is being torn apart."

Zhiye clutched her chest in agony.

"I can't... I can't do it."

Zhiye exclaimed, picking up the knife and slashing her own wrist.

"What are you doing!?" I quickly reacted and stopped her, luckily noticing that the cut wasn't too deep.

"Jie..." Zhiye looked at me somewhat dazed.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't do such foolish things."

At this point, even though I wanted to blame her, I couldn't. I could only first find the first aid kit and help Zhiye treat her wounds.
