Something embarrassing happened, and it was even seen by Zhiye. Now I'm stuck in a troublesome situation. At the moment, I was in the living room of the Xu's house, sitting next to Fia. Zhiye was sitting in the upper right corner while Fia lowered her head, feeling nervous and uneasy. My legs were also trembling slightly, and my heart was beating fast. However, Zhiye had a smile on her face all the time, which was a bit creepy. I dared not look at her directly.

Although I didn't do anything, Zhiye suddenly asked, "Jerry, what were you guys doing just now?" I was sweating profusely and didn't know how to answer. "Is this brother-sister love affair? How could you do this, Jerry? How could you secretly flirt with my little sister behind my back?" I stood up and explained, "Oh... it's a misunderstanding. How could I flirt with Fia?"

"Why did you guys hug then? I saw it with my own eyes," Zhiye persisted, still smiling but with a cold tone that made me shiver.

"Well..." I was very nervous and sweating, and glanced at the erotic book on the coffee table. Suddenly, I thought of my father's appearance and hastily said, "It's just something I accidentally found in my dad's room. I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to tell Fia. But Fia, being curious, insisted on seeing it. I refused... and that's what Zhiye saw."

I was a bit uneasy, not sure if Zhiye would believe me, but I had to take a chance. "Is it true, Fia?" Zhiye asked Fia, who nodded. "It seems that I misunderstood you guys. I'm sorry, Jerry, Fia."

Unexpectedly, Zhiye believed me and apologized to me and Fia. I was relieved and thanked my father for taking the blame.

"But this book is not suitable for us to have in the house. I'll throw it away when I go out later," Zhiye said, picking up the erotic book.

"Fia," she turned to Fia, "you can't read this, it's not good for your growth. Don't ever read it."

Fia looked sad and hesitant. "What?" Zhiye asked.

"Fia..." Fia hesitated, then lowered her head.

"I said you can't read it, Fia. There's nothing good in there for you. Don't ever read it," Zhiye gently admonished.

"Okay..." Fia had no choice but to nod and go to her room. Seeing Fia's dejected look made me feel sorry for her. She probably borrowed it from a classmate, and if she lost it, her friend might blame her.

I shook my head and thought, "I can't do anything about her." I took a deep breath and was about to say something to Zhiye, but I saw her smiling at me, which made me feel embarrassed.

"Jerry, do you have something to say?" she asked.

"Well..." I looked at the erotic book, and Zhiye seemed to understand. She picked it up and asked, "Do you want to read it?"

"Well... it's a shame to throw it away…" I hesitated, feeling very ashamed.

"Since you want it, just take it. But don't show it to Fia anymore," Zhiye handed me the book, which surprised me.

"Why are you so willing to give it to me?"

"Because you're a man, and besides, my mother said we'll get married when you come of age. Knowing these things will be helpful for our wedding night," Zhiye blushed a little and explained. I was shocked to hear her say that.

"Jerry?"

"Oh... okay..." I suddenly became absent-minded, but then I quickly regained my senses and said, "Thanks."

"By the way, can you accompany me to the supermarket later?" Zhiye asked with an expectant look. I felt like I had no reason to refuse.

"Sure, I'll hide this book first," I said.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes," she said, and went into her room. I went to Fia's room and found her crying on the bed."Brother Youjie, why are you here?"

"Feya, I'm really sorry about earlier." I hid the book behind my back and slowly approached Feya.

"It's not Brother Youjie's fault... it's all Feya's fault for going to read these things."

Feya choked up as she spoke.

"It's okay, don't cry. Look, I brought you something." I placed the book on the bed, and Feya was very surprised to see it.

"But you can't read it anymore. Pack it up and give it back to your classmate on Monday. Don't borrow these kinds of books to read again, okay?"

"Mm... Feya understands. I love you, Brother Youjie."

Feya's sadness turned to joy as she hugged me, and I couldn't stop her. Thankfully, Zhiye wasn't nearby, or we might have been mistaken for siblings in love. That would have been terrible.

"Okay, I should go now. Zhiye asked me to go shopping with her." I let go of Feya's hand.

"Be careful on your way, Brother Youjie." Feya watched me leave her room. When I got to the living room, I found Zhiye hadn't come out yet, so I waited for a while.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Zhiye wore a knitted sweater with a gray coat over it, boots and a short skirt, of course with eye-catching stockings.

"No..." I smiled.

"Does Jerry always dress like this when he goes out?" Zhiye looked at me. I was wearing a vest sweater, a shirt, and long pants.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Then... let's go out." Zhiye and I went out. Along the way, Zhiye was very close to me, but I didn't mind because it was actually a bit cold outside. To maintain my manners, I had no choice but to endure it.

Then Zhiye and I went to a department store, where we bought vegetables, meat, eggs, daily necessities, and more.

"This cabbage looks good." Zhiye picked up a tender green cabbage and smiled.

"It looks great," I nodded.

"This meat looks very fresh too."

"I want to eat meat..." Zhiye covered her mouth and laughed. She bought some meat, vegetables, eggs, and other necessities to varying degrees.

When we left the department store, I carried a lot of plastic bags, and Zhiye carried two. She really bought a lot.

"Can we take a slightly longer route?" At the park, Zhiye asked me.

"Sure." I didn't refuse. Zhiye looked very happy, and we entered the park. As soon as we got in, we saw many couples walking around. This made me feel very awkward, so I hastened my pace. To make matters worse, some couples were hiding behind trees kissing. Damn it, couldn't you at least notice that there were people around you?

However, it didn't do much good. For some reason, Zhiye stared at a couple standing by the railing. Those two were really daring.

"Zhiye?" I felt really awkward and called out to her.

"Oh... sorry, let's go." Zhiye shifted her gaze from them and walked towards the park exit.

When we finally got home, my arms were groaning in agony. It was just too tiring. I rubbed my sore arms and planned to get some water, while Zhiye started to organize the things we had bought.

After that, I went back to my room and began racking my brain on the details of the date. It wasn't until dinner time that I finally finished planning it. Seeing the effort I put in, I felt especially excited.
