"Ahahaha," I couldn't help but giggling all the way home. "Hey, hey, do you think that guy's crazy?" "I don't know... I feel scared." "He must have been through something traumatic." "Let's hurry, Ming-ge."

Beside me were a little boy and a little girl holding a doll. The little girl looked at me with a terrified expression and the little boy bravely protected her while staring at me with sharp eyes. "Um...," I awkwardly said. It seemed like they had mistaken me for a crazy person. "Little sister, little brother, don't be afraid." I greeted them with an approachable smile. The little boy became even more cautious and the little girl hid behind him. "Me... Today... Ahahaha," I laughed again uncontrollably. "Ming-ge...!" The little girl exclaimed in fear. "Get out of here, you crazy person!" The little boy said without hesitation. "I'm not crazy, I just had something happy happen today and couldn't help myself. Ahahaha," I chuckled again. The little boy kicked me and then ran away with the little girl, yelling, "You're just a crazy person!" as he made a face at me. I got angry but didn't bother chasing after them.

Before it got too dark, I finally got home, still filled with joy from Su Yuqian's words. I really wanted to sing a song. It was at that moment I heard the continuous sound of chopping on a cutting board from the kitchen. I wondered what was going on. When I went to investigate, I found Zhi Ye wearing an apron outside but there was nothing on the chopping board. She was just continuously chopping away with a kitchen knife, which felt very eerie and strange. It sent shivers up my spine. Trying to avoid making any noise, I prepared to leave the kitchen. "Jerry, you're back?" I stiffened as soon as I heard her voice. It really startled me. "Yes,... I'm back," I replied in a normal tone. "Jerry, how is your studying going?" Zhi Ye turned around and smiled at me, still holding the kitchen knife. "It's going well, it's going well," I answered while staring at the knife. "Is it?" Zhi Ye took a step forward, but I didn't feel right about her behavior. "Yes, what's wrong?" I looked puzzled. "But why didn't I see you in the library?" Zhi Ye had actually gone to the library. That suddenly made me lose my cool. "You went to the library?" "Yeah, because I really wanted to be with Jerry. I couldn't stand being away from you," Zhi Ye explained. "Oh..." "But why weren't you there, Jerry?" "I might have gone to the washroom at the time," I nervously replied. "But I asked the librarian and she said she hadn't seen you in days." Even the librarian had been asked... I was in trouble. "Maybe she just didn't notice me," I mumbled. "There were hardly any people in the library after school and she was absolutely sure she had never seen Jerry," Zhi Ye said with a smile that grew more terrifying the more I stared at it. "Jerry, how could you lie to me? You know I really trust you," Zhi Ye continued. "I... Zhi Ye, I didn't lie to you," I desperately tried to explain. "Then where did you go? Can you explain?" Zhi Ye put the kitchen knife next to my neck. The situation was suddenly too sudden, and I couldn't think of how to respond. "Jerry, you must have gone on a date with another girl, how terrible. You left me behind," Zhi Ye's eyes looked like they were capable of murder if I didn't fix this soon."I... swear that I absolutely did not go on a date with any other girl," I raised my hand to swear.

"Then where did you go?"

"Maybe she really didn't remember, or I left in a hurry and she didn't notice,"

"Is that so?" Weiya was half convinced and half doubtful, and the kitchen knife was not put down.

This stalemate was not a solution, so I had to compromise: "What should I do for you to believe me?"

"Say you love me..." Weiya said in a daze.

"I love you," I said without hesitation.

"Jerry..." Weiya threw herself into my arms with a smile on her face. My heart was pounding, and I restrained my body from trembling.

"I believe you. Oh, by the way, what do you want for dinner?" Weiya showed a gentle smile.

"How about curry? The curry rice you make is really delicious."

"Okay, then I'll make curry rice. You go take a shower first."

I nodded, and she let go of my hand and happily went to prepare the curry rice. Leaving her embrace, my legs began to weaken. But in order to avoid being found out, I had to persist until I got to the bathroom. I lay in the bathtub, using the suitably warm water to ease my inner fear.

I didn't expect Weiya to go to the library, nor did I expect her to be so terrifying.
