"Auntie, thank you for your hospitality," I got up to leave after finishing lunch and resting for another hour.

"Are you leaving already?" Auntie asked.

"Yes..." I nodded hesitantly.

"I'm really sorry for today's incident, causing you to get burned. It's all because of my clumsy daughter, Yuqian," Auntie bowed to apologize to me, and then said to Su Yuqian, "You should apologize too."

I quickly waved my hand, "It's not Yuqian's fault. I was the one who rummaged through her things without permission. I was in the wrong."

"But Yuqian accidentally spilled the hot tea on you, so she needs to apologize. Yuqian... apologize quickly."

"Sorry..." Su Yuqian reluctantly bowed to express her apology, it seemed that she still listened to her mother.

"Well then... I'll take my leave," feeling guilty, I accepted their apologies and walked towards the entrance.

"Yuqian, go and see your classmate off."

"No need..." I wanted to refuse Auntie's kindness, but Su Yuqian gave me a stern look, so I didn't repeat my words.

"Mom, I'll go and see him off then," Su Yuqian walked towards the entrance and said to her mother.

Auntie nodded, and then we both left the house together.

"It's very cold outside, you should go back inside quickly," after walking a few steps, the cold wind pierced through me, so I said this to Su Yuqian.

"Are you trying to get rid of me? You indecisive Stupid Jerry," Su Yuqian immediately made a displeased face and said to me.

"When was I indecisive?"

"I said you're indecisive, so you are."

"You're so stubborn."

"What did you say? How dare you talk back to your owner, you stupid Jerry?" Su Yuqian raised her fist and was about to hit me, but I quickly grabbed her wrist.

"Stupid Jerry... still want to resist?" Su Yuqian struggled with her wrist.

"Go back inside quickly, I don't want you to catch a cold," I held her waist with one hand and pulled her into my embrace.

"You... you... you..." her face turned red, and she spoke with a stammer. I kissed her forehead and said, "Feels like a dream, but so real." After kissing her, I fell into a daze.

"Fool, who allowed you to kiss me randomly," Su Yuqian shouted at me, and then slapped me on the face before walking away angrily.

I shouted at her in dissatisfaction, "It was just a kiss! It's not like we French kissed!"

But she rushed to me and swiftly punched my abdomen, I felt like I was going to fly away.

"You idiot, what if someone heard... What's wrong with your brain?"

I touched my painful abdomen, "If you didn't slap me, I wouldn't have said that."

Su Yuqian mumbled, "Who asked you to suddenly kiss me..."

"What did you say?" I didn't hear what she said.

"Idiot! I don't care about you anymore..." Then she walked away in anger.

"What's wrong with her," although I felt unhappy, there was nothing I could do. That's just Su Yuqian's personality.

"But I'm still very unhappy!" I shouted this on my way back home. Suddenly, my phone made a notification sound. I looked at it, and it was a message from Su Yuqian:

"Next time... you must get my permission for a kiss or anything like that, because you are my servant, got it?"

"Yes..." I replied with a slight dissatisfaction and continued reading the rest of the message,

"I'm really sorry for accidentally burning you, but... I absolutely can't let anyone know about my obsession with Yuzaki Yuriko, or else you'll be in trouble,"

There's nothing embarrassing about this.

"I can beat you up, but... next time I'll allow you to hold hands at most, don't push your luck!"

I could almost imagine Su Yuqian saying this with a contradictory expression.

After reading Su Yuqian's message, I didn't realize that I had already arrived at the front door of my home. I knocked on the door, and it immediately opened. It wasn't Fiona who came to welcome me, but Yayo."Jerry, you're back?"

"Ah... I'm back."

"What would you like to eat tonight, Jerry?"

As she asked with a smile, Zhiye handed me my slippers.

It felt a bit like the scene where a wife welcomes her husband back from work, but for some reason, I didn't feel at ease.

"Anything is fine," I replied as I put on my slippers. I walked ahead, with Zhiye following behind.

"Jerry, did you have a pleasant reunion with your classmates today?"

Zhiye asked.

"Ah... it was alright."

"What did you talk about?"

"Ah... we asked about the schools we attend and discussed some common interests."

"I see."

"Yes, I was telling the truth," I turned around and saw Zhiye's unbelieving face, so I confidently continued, "I never lied to you."

"Are you trying to deceive me, Jerry?"

"Deceive... deceive you? When did I deceive you?" I suddenly felt nervous, and Zhiye kept getting closer.

"I'll give you another chance. If you tell me the truth, I'll forgive you," Zhiye said in a calm tone.

"What do you mean, another chance? I haven't deceived you about anything," I argued loudly.

"Jerry, you're really disobedient. It makes me sad. But it's okay, soon you'll listen to me," Zhiye's expression suddenly turned sorrowful and then she smiled again, making me anxious.

"I love you so much," Zhiye threw herself into my arms, rubbing her cheek against my chest like a child.

"Zhiye... you... you're acting strange," my body felt rigid.

"Strange? Not at all. Because I love Jerry, this is my way of expressing love," she said with a hint of doting in her eyes.

"But... that's enough. I feel uncomfortable," I said.

"Is that so? Is Jerry feeling uncomfortable?" Zhiye lifted her head, and I could see the expression of indulgence in her eyes.

"I..." Before I could finish my sentence, my whole body went numb, as if being electrocuted.

"Jerry, now that things have come to this, you still haven't repented or admitted your mistakes. I can't do anything about a Jerry like that," Zhiye's smile remained on her face, but I noticed she was holding a stun gun crackling with electricity in her hand. It turns out that this was the culprit behind my numbness.

But I wanted to say something more, and as I fell into unconsciousness, I lost all sense of self.
