Struggling between rationality and impulse, I finally managed to maintain rationality and suppress my urges, successfully getting through one lesson.
"Jerry, you look exhausted, and you're sweating on your forehead,"
Zhiye, worriedly, took out a handkerchief she carried with her and was about to wipe the sweat for me.
"I... I can do it myself..." Glancing at the classmate's oppressing gaze, I nervously took the handkerchief and started wiping my sweat off.
Why am I so nervous all of a sudden? Could it be because I almost lost my rationality and embraced the fragrance earlier?
"Jerry?" Zhiye tilted her head curiously as she looked at a daydreaming me.
"Ah~ Thank you for the handkerchief," I handed it back to Zhiye, but then suddenly remembered that I had used it to wipe my sweat and abruptly retracted my hand.
"What's wrong, Jerry?" Zhiye was puzzled by my actions.
"Um... I'll help you to wash it and then give it back to you."
"Don't bother, Jerry. I can handle this kind of thing."
Zhiye took the handkerchief from my hand,
"After all, I used it... so... I have to wash it and give it back to you."
My attitude was a bit stubborn,
"As Jerry's wife, I have a duty to help him with such things. You can order me around, it's okay,"
Zhiye said with a serious face, and I didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, why did she call herself my wife rather than my fiancée? And the gazes of these people; I suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but shudder,
"Jerry... are you cold? Why does your face look so bad?"
Zhiye asked with confusion,
"I don't know why... Maybe it's because the weather is getting colder."
I came up with a far-fetched explanation,
"Do you want to use my body to help warm you up? It's very effective," Zhiye smiled.
"Body warming?" I couldn't help but feel puzzled, but Zhiye proceeded to give me a hug, scaring me, and I fell flat on my butt.
"Jerry, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Zhiye had an apologetic expression, and I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's okay..."
As I was about to get up and Zhiye was about to help me up, some jealous classmates started making their move.
"Zhiye, your classmate..." A girl stopped Zhiye from helping me up.
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"Is Zhiye really the wife of this guy with zero presence, super low looks, and the villager NPC in the other world?"
Hey, this girl's words are really hurtful, and she didn't even remember my name.
"Yes!" Zhiye nodded with a smile.
"Really can't understand how a good cabbage was picked by a pig? A flower is inserted in cow dung?"
Hey, hey, hey, that's too much.
"It's a terrible tragedy! Damn it! You black magician who can use the charm technique."
Two boys grabbed my arms, and I felt very uncomfortable and couldn't move at all.
"My looks are N+10 times better than you."
The handsome guy who grabbed one of my arms angrily said.
"Why not crucify him and burn him with a torch?"
A male classmate spoke out dangerously with a jealous tone.
"Agree... Agree!" Many boys agreed together.
"Are you guys insane? You're definitely insane!" I started struggling, but they controlled me tightly, and I couldn't break free.
"What are you guys doing? What are you doing to Jerry?" Zhiye asked with a serious expression when she saw that I was in trouble.
"Leave this matter alone, Zhiye. It's his fault for raising everyone's hatred to him."
A blonde boy who looked like a leader said.
"Who are you?" Zhiye asked impolitely.
"I... am the love judge of the survival of the fittest. I have the best chance of getting a girlfriend. Call me... Love Judge!"
"Burn, burn, burn." These guys seemed to be very supportive of him.
"After so many lonely single days, this rebel dares to show off that he has a wife in public. It's really outrageous. So we have to eliminate the evil and accept the punishment! Rebel!"
The guy who called himself the Love Judge drew a cross on his chest and immersed himself in saying this.
Are you guys crazy? I didn't show off that I have a fiancée. And furthermore...
"Please, let Jerry go and don't hurt him." Zhiye pleaded for me, but all of them seemed to have lost their rationality.
What should I do? If things continue like this, I might die an unnatural death.
At the critical moment, the bell rang for class.
"What? Missed the opportunity..." The blonde leader regretfully said.
"Let him go for now... Dismiss."
At the blonde leader's command, his so-called followers backed away, acting as if nothing had happened, returned to their seats, took out their textbooks, and began to preview the lesson.
"Jerry, are you okay?" Zhiye squatted down, worriedly checking if I was hurt.
"I'm fine..." I tried to straighten up, but those two guys had hurt my arms too much just now.
"It's really puzzling. Why did they become like this?"
Zhiye showed a confused expression. I could only sigh, and at the same time, I felt a great deal of pain inside. No matter what, I now faced two problems. One is the hostile attitude of these classmates, and the other is how to confess my love to Su Yuqian and make her believe in my loyalty.
