During the lunch break, I planned to use this free time to find a solution to the problem. There's an old saying that when you encounter difficulties, you shouldn't ask Baidu. However, before doing that, I couldn't help but click on the mobile game I downloaded last night. I remembered that I had already created the characters last night. It always takes a long time to load when opening for the first time.

"Jie, what do you want to eat for lunch today?" Zhiye suddenly started a conversation with me, causing me to instinctively lock my phone screen. The sound of BGM came through, "Fool! Why did it take you so long to come online? Hmph! I wasn't thinking about you or anything."

Oh no, the character I created on the character creation screen has a voiceover.

"Are you chatting with someone, Jie? It seems ambiguous," Zhiye's eyes became hollow, and her voice became deep.

"No, I always lock my phone, so I'm not chatting with anyone," I said while quickly turning the volume to the lowest.

"Is that so, Jie?" Zhiye still didn't believe it.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat something?" I tried to change the topic and directly closed the game. After all, I've been with Zhiye for so long, and this situation is like an alarm bell. If I let it go, things will only get worse.

"Jie, we don't have home economics class today, so I can't cook," Zhiye showed a depressed look.

"It's okay, there's the cafeteria," although I wanted to find a solution during the lunch break and buy a pineapple bun, I remembered that Zhiye doesn't allow me to eat pineapple buns. Moreover, she looked so downcast, so I could only go to the cafeteria to solve it.

"I'm really sorry, Jie," Zhiye looked guilty.

"It's not a big deal, I'm the one always being so capricious and having Zhiye make lunch for me."

"That's what a wife should do."

"Ah...ah, shall we go to the cafeteria?" This is the only thing I don't know how to reply to Zhiye.

"Sure," Zhiye nodded.

"Youjie, are you ready to go eat?" He Yuqing interfered at an inappropriate time again.

"Yes, it's already lunchtime," I replied.

"Aren't you supposed to have lunch with the younger students today?"

"Do you really want to have lunch with them?"

"They didn't invite us today, and we can't have lunch together every day, right?" Actually, I declined their invitation because I said I needed to think about a solution during lunchtime.

"That's a shame," He Yuqing seemed disappointed.

"Then I'll go with you," why did her attitude change so quickly? One second she was feeling down, and the next second she was all cheerful.

"Well..." I was about to speak when Zhiye interrupted me and stood in front of me to talk to He Yuqing.

"He Yuqing, I want to spend some time alone with Jie."

"I'll go with you, too."

"I think you should understand what I just said."

"Uh...uh, I understand."

What's going on? I couldn't keep up with He Yuqing's change in attitude. Weren't we supposed to go together? Why does she have that expression on her face like she's seen something terrifying? Although it was fleeting, I couldn't figure out what it meant.

"Let's go, Jie. He Yuqing said we should go ahead," Zhiye turned around and smiled at me.

"Is that so?" I looked at He Yuqing.

"Yes, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You guys go ahead, haha~"

This is not something that can be laughed off and ignored. Going and not going at the same time can easily lead to criticism. Oh well, I've decided not to care about him. I left the classroom with Zhiye and headed towards the school cafeteria. On the way, we encountered a girl dressed like a bunny girl, carrying a guitar on her back. She was chatting and laughing with her classmates.

This kind of déjà vu feeling, like Haruhi Suzumiya, I know it's cosplay. I wonder if she can play that song. If she were to sing,

I can't really distinguish whether this girl dressed as a bunny girl is from the cosplay club or the light music club.

If it's Haruhi Suzumiya, she must sing in the gymnasium, right? If that's the case!

Suddenly, I feel an indescribable excitement, even though I think I'm thinking too much.

"Jie, you've been staring at her legs."

"No, I was just looking at her as a whole... Huh!?" I admit that I was getting lost in my thoughts, not in staring. Hearing Zhiye's almost whispered tone, my heart suddenly started beating faster, and the buzzing alarm seemed to be ringing in my head.

"Recently, I feel like you've been neglecting me, don't know what you're up to. It's like the feeling of suspecting your husband of having an affair. Can Jie understand?"

Although this statement sounded calm and composed, it's definitely not something that can be easily faced.

"Really? No, not at all," I suddenly became flustered. The current Zhiye is in the highest risk assessment level. If I'm not careful,

"I saw you secretly chatting with Wen Xiaojing yesterday, you know."

"What!?" I remember saying that I was going to the restroom, why!? Is she following me?!

"Yesterday? I can't remember for a moment. Lately, I seem to be not in a good state of mind," I tried to act nonchalant, but sweat kept dripping from my forehead. Based on my past life and death experiences, this is a crisis!

"Jie, stop coming up with lame excuses." Zhiye's tone turned icy.

"Yes, yes, yes, I talked to Wen Xiaojing yesterday, but..." I can't hide the truth in the current situation.

"But what?!" Zhiye looked suspicious, her sensitivity now is terrifying.

"But I just told her that I won't participate in the club activities today," I took a deep breath and came up with an excuse. I really dare not mention Shi Taoxiang's matter.

"Are you lying to me, Jie? Neglecting me, you must be having an affair, for sure."

I only heard a sharp noise, the blade of a utility knife was pressing against my neck. I instantly felt the coldness of the metal, and I dare not even breathe, nor move. I also didn't have the mind to think about where Zhiye got the utility knife from.

Why did Zhiye turn into this? She was fine before. In the face of life and death, I desperately thought, but the more anxious I became, the less I could come up with a reason.

Wait, neglecting?! Is it because I care too little about her? Seizing this keyword, I seem to see a glimmer of hope.

"I'm sorry, Zhiye. Recently, you've been in the calligraphy club and must be tired. It's all my fault for not being able to share the burden with you, and for being self-centered and ignoring your feelings. I'm really sorry, Zhiye. Please forgive me."

Quickly organizing my words, this is how many times I've been forced to say such hypocritical words due to this sense of impending death. Although I know it's hypocritical, I can't properly face Zhiye, her feelings for me, my feelings for her. So, all I can do now is maintain this, and experience these various events.

I, on the contrary, have a rational approach to these unexpected situations. However, I can't comprehend why Zhiye keeps behaving like this from time to time. It has exceeded my understanding, and now the only thing I can do is take precautions.
