The cycle begins to repeat itself today.

Ye Zi shook her head, and while this made me feel relieved, it also made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. If she could accept me like this, it was hard to say whether it was truly a good thing for her. I was relieved that the current situation didn't seem to have a significant impact on my plans.

"I just... I just feel like I'm being too superfluous?"

"That's not true." I shook my head. "Even if you don't want to be with me anymore and want to find someone else, I won't let go."

"But what use am I to you besides this body?" Ye Zi lowered her head, her mood not high. "Even my body isn't that attractive to you..."

"For me, you are enough." I can't think of any more emotional words. At my core, I'm just someone who's out of touch with society. Compared to my limited vocabulary, I feel that my actions are more convincing.

I wrapped my arms around Yezi, making her face me. Although she wasn't very tall, she was still slightly taller than me sitting on my lap. I tilted my head slightly up to look at her shy and confused face and gently kissed her. Yezi, who was initially a little reserved, became bolder as my movements became more practiced. However, she lacked knowledge in that area, so everything remained within a controllable range.

As I kissed Yezi, I used the corner of my eye to check my surroundings. Judging from the previous times I'd heard that laughter, it seemed to appear whenever something similar happened. If I could lure it out, it would be quite a good thing. However, this level of activity didn't seem to be enough to entice it. To find out the conditions for the sound to appear, and also to slightly quell the wicked thoughts in my mind, I became a little more audacious.

Yezi's breathing grew heavier and heavier, her whole body felt hot. Holding her felt good, and my previously clear mind gradually became hazy. My attention, which had been intentionally wandering, was forced back to Yezi. I was suddenly jolted awake by a sound, but my body, affected by that three-second delay, couldn't turn around immediately. Because of this, I was surprised to find that Yezi, who had been passionately kissing me, suddenly stopped being affectionate, as if startled, and quickly pulled away from me. I saw surprise and panic on her face.

Did she hear that sound too? No, it wasn't the laughter I heard before; it was something else entirely.

"You two look like you're having a lot of fun."

I heard March's voice.

Chapter 184 A Frivolous Personality

I looked toward the source of the sound, despite the noticeable delay, and I was puzzled by the fact that March was here.

"March? What are you doing up here?"

I asked her directly if I would mind calling her by her nickname since no one else was around, and I believed she wouldn't mind and would be happy to do so.

I watched as she walked towards me, squatted down beside me, and stared wide-eyed as if observing closely: "I've come to see how much fun you and Ye Yuqing are having."

Yezi seemed somewhat bewildered by the situation and tried to struggle to get up from me, but I couldn't control my body properly, and she couldn't stand up. In those three seconds, I thought about it and realized that this wasn't an unacceptable situation. In fact, it should be a good thing for me.

I held onto Yezi's will, which replaced my physical actions and took control of my body. March's struggles quickly ceased, and I whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, she won't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone." March gave me a disgruntled look, quickly turned around while still squatting, and sat down without caring whether the ground was clean or not. She then leaned against me and took up a spot on my lap: "Since things are already like this, you don't mind if I join you, right?"

I used my willpower to control my hand, preventing it from moving around uncontrollably. I have deep doubts about why March came here.

"Why did you come up here in March? Weren't you going to eat with them?"

"I didn't really want to be with them in the first place, and then I ran into Xiaoyin, so I told her I was going to find my sister to have dinner with, and then I ran off. I just bought something to eat at the convenience store and then I saw you and Ye Yuqing come up here. I knew you would end up like this, so I came just in time."

Seemingly dissatisfied with my lack of movement, March shifted her body, tilted her head to find my right hand, then pulled it around her side and placed it on her chest. Yezi, watching from the side, seemed somewhat stunned, staring blankly at the scene without moving or speaking.

As March finished all this, she moved her hands, but then turned her head towards the other side where Ye Zi was, with a playful expression on her face: "You haven't even done this much yet?"

Yezi's face turned even redder in an instant, and I frowned: "Don't bully Yezi too much."

"Sigh... alright, alright, what can I do? I'm like a slave now. Whatever makes you happy." March said nonsensically, rubbing against me again. I sensed that her actions weren't directed at me; it was more like a performance for Ye Zi. She was still somewhat dissatisfied with my behavior, but that was to be expected. It would be strange if she didn't feel dissatisfied.

But while things might seem normal, this wasn't good for my purpose. Following March's lead, I used my hands to feel the softness of her body, while my other hand, which was wrapped around Ye Zi, didn't stop. Since things had already come to this, it was better to be more thorough, at least so I wouldn't feel so constrained.

In stark contrast to the unusual enthusiasm she displayed in March, Yezi seemed very shy and completely unaccustomed to the situation. March seemed to be stimulated by the current situation; she released my hand and instead cupped Yezi's face in her hands. After giving me a seductive look, I realized what she wanted to do, and her actions were exactly what I expected. She kissed the bewildered Yezi.

My desires, which I had initially managed to somewhat control, began to overwhelm my reason once again. The scene, though different in landscape and background, felt strangely familiar. I couldn't have seen such a sight before; I quickly realized that it probably matched one of my many unrealistic fantasies. This surprised me, but it didn't stop my body from starting to stir again.

After a while, March finally released Ye Zi, left her, and came to my ear, saying in a very soft voice, "Should I be satisfied with this?"

I think all those actions in March were just to stimulate my desires, and I felt my desires becoming increasingly difficult to control. I pondered how to get myself out of this exciting but very uncontrollable situation as soon as possible, and I started asking about the things I had talked to March about before.

"Are you okay with what I just told you? It's probably going to take longer than I expected."

"Of course I have no problem with it. In fact, it's perfect this way. Not having to be with them makes me feel more relaxed. You call her Yezi, right? You give all the girls you control a nickname, just like me?"

She gently licked my cheek, which made me tremble involuntarily. I was a little worried that Yezi would feel uncomfortable hearing such words, so I glanced at her and found that she was still immersed in what had just happened and had not come back to her senses.

"Isn't it because you don't like those two names? And when I asked you to help with her studies, it wasn't an excuse for you to relax. I genuinely hope you can tutor her. Of course, so do I; after all, it seems easier to do anything if you have good grades."

I felt Yezi looking at me. She placed her hand on my hand, which was resting on her chest, and pressed it down with a little force.

"Huh?" March gave me a strange look: "I thought you were just saying that because you wanted to relieve your anger anytime, anywhere. I didn't expect you to be serious."

"After all, if my grades are too bad, I won't be able to go to the same school as you."

March narrowed her eyes: "I accept that reason. However..." She then looked at Ye Zi, who was looking at her with a complicated expression: "I think what needs to be taught is not just learning."

I felt a hand slide across my body and reach my waist: "Although it's studying, it's also an important rest time for me."

March moved closer to Leaf again, startling Leaf who leaned back but didn't run away from March: "Let me teach you something fun today..."

Chapter 185 A Well-founded Guess

I put my arms around Yezi and Sanyue, one on each side. Sanyue seemed somewhat content, while Yezi remained motionless, simply out of shyness. I stayed in that position, but my mind was elsewhere.

While it may not seem difficult to understand why March would appear here at first glance, a closer look reveals that March's motivation for coming here is actually not sufficient.

First, March had made it clear to me that while she was completely at my mercy, this didn't include time spent at school. For several days in a row, I arrived early every morning at the place where I was supposed to meet March. Her overly enthusiastic demeanor captured a large part of my attention, but without exception, her enthusiasm vanished the moment she stepped through the school gates.

March has a strong sense of self-control. From the time we started our relationship until now, whenever she enters the school and it's during class time, she will never make any explicit or implicit moves towards me. As she herself said, she wants to maintain the aloofness she had before.

I took the opportunity to observe her many times during March, whether it was during breaks, in class, or when I first arrived at the classroom in the morning. I never noticed her looking at me, let alone touching me, talking to me, or even making such intimate gestures.

With her self-control, how could she possibly leave the group and come to talk to us just because she saw me, Ye Zi, and her sister together? Besides, even if she understands that her sister Lin Yin and my deskmate Ye Zi have become like this, does that really mean that something that needs to be kept secret can be discussed freely in that kind of environment for her? Even if her voice isn't very loud.

What's even more outrageous is that she just broke away from that group, grabbed a quick bite, and came here. While it's true that March doesn't like that group, her decisive action clashes with her previous self-control of not even glancing at me. She shouldn't be the kind of girl who doesn't want to control herself at all. March's enthusiasm and actions are based on something and have a reason.

But did she suddenly rush up to me just to tease Ye Zi? Or was she here to ask if I wanted to create some carefree time with her? That's impossible; such a reason is too weak for March. Besides, March shouldn't have any particular fondness for Ye Zi; her previous rejection and indifference towards Ye Zi weren't fake.

Even if she came here just to tease Ye Zi, her reason still lacked something. Did she want to embarrass Ye Zi? Or was she trying to showcase her strengths to gain an advantage in this competition? Or perhaps she simply couldn't stand that feeling anymore, which is why she came to me?

No… this doesn’t fit my impression of March. March should be a bold, passionate, and highly proactive girl, but also a meticulous girl with her own way of thinking and the corresponding self-control. If she couldn’t even tolerate this level of behavior, she couldn’t have kept it from her parents for so long.

In this seemingly unchanged situation, a huge change appears to have occurred in March. Her thought process, behavior patterns, and even her level of caution have undergone a very significant and subtle transformation.

In March, she seemed to become impulsive, and her purpose was very clear. Even now, her hands are never idle. She is massaging her own body through my hands. I can sense this obvious purpose without even conducting an investigation.

After realizing this, I also realized that this change was not just happening to March.

At least because of what she said when she clashed with March, and what she said when I came into contact with her afterward to save Yezi, she had given me a very complete and clear purpose—she enjoys pleasure simply because it is a product of her ultimate goal, a way to relax and become happy, but her ultimate goal should not have changed, which is why I have not doubted March in this regard.

However, it now seems that March has received some kind of "enhancement," the reason for which is unknown, and the extent of which is also unknown. But this enhancement is not aimed at March's goal of "taking revenge on her parents," but rather it directly amplifies the byproducts of March's pursuit of this goal—she is now almost completely addicted to it.

At the same time, when I looked at Ye Zi again, I could also find a similar scent on her.

Ye Zi is a beautiful, courageous, and determined girl, but she has no understanding of such matters and lacks any knowledge about them. In their previous interactions, whether it was when she was first rescued or at her home, although she showed initiative, she did not show any corresponding desire.

Everything she did had only one purpose: to please me. She only knew that she was a girl, but she didn't know how to use her body to achieve the desired purpose and effect. She deliberately put herself in a passive position in this situation, seemingly in control, but in reality, everything she did next depended entirely on me.

But what happened this morning? As soon as Yezi arrived in the classroom, she reached out and touched me, serving me with unusually awkward movements. Yezi and I had a very clear agreement, and Yezi's behavior at the time could be described as extremely cautious. Why would she risk making me angry by doing something so thankless in the classroom?

I've seen Ye Zi's "do less, make less" mentality all along, and she wouldn't have the courage to do something like this at this time, in this situation, and in this scenario.

Like March, Yezi was also "enhanced," but what was enhanced was not Yezi's ultimate goal. Like March, only aspects related to desire were enhanced.

Yezi, who was initially shy and didn't move much, soon became restless, just like in March. Her actions made me even more certain of my guess.

Chapter 186 The Emerging Mystery

If we continue with the current situation, there's one more person on my mind, which makes me not only raise my head but also want to sigh slightly. The initial starting point of this situation, on the surface, was Lin Yin, who utterly shattered my bottom line in just one moment on the rooftop of the main building.

If she hadn't done that on the rooftop of the main building, my hypocritical insistence might have lasted a little longer, but I have no reason to blame her. Strictly speaking, her behavior at the time didn't match the Lin Yin I remembered doing. It's understandable that she cared more about her status as class monitor than I should, but she chose to take me to a deserted place on the rooftop. The only thing I can think of is that she herself has also changed.

I'm not sure if Lin Yin has similar desires, since everything she does is based on her attempt to replace her sister in some way and gain a dominant position, which is also the foundation upon which my relationship with her was initially built.

However, the conversation between March and me in front of the cafeteria just now completely exposed the information that "I have a very close relationship with her sister". This is undoubtedly a "betrayal" for Lin Yin, but her attitude did not reflect this at all. She even spoke up for me when March tried to make things difficult for me.

As for the hand that had been playing tricks on her in March, judging from her expression, she seemed to have gotten used to it. However, this didn't match her demeanor at all when they first met not long ago.

Lin Yin must have also experienced some kind of intensification solely focused on "desire." I don't know whether she or March came first, but that's not important. What I need to know is what exactly happened to them.

I've never spent 24 hours a day with those three girls. Judging from the timeline of events, it was Lin Yin who first showed me that strange attitude, but she still maintained her original purpose despite that attitude.

Secondly, there's her older sister, March. I met Lin Yin during the day, and then I met March that night and successfully subdued her. March also expressed her desire to have her monthly wish fulfilled with me, and tried to achieve her own goals at the same time. She even offered herself to me for disposal, but my initial plan was to save Ye Zi, so one of her objectives was not achieved.

But she was only trying to fulfill a deep-seated desire, and this month's visit was part of her larger ambition—to get revenge on her parents. So even though that failed, she didn't go to the point of losing control of her anger like before.

Then there's Yezi. I'm fairly familiar with Yezi's personality, although right now I'm most familiar with March, with whom I have the most contact. But from what I understand, Yezi's personality hasn't changed much. There's absolutely no way she would intentionally do what she did in the classroom this morning, which is the basis for my certainty that Yezi has changed.

These three girls, Lin Yin and Lin Xue, are sisters. They strictly adhere to the house's curfew, meaning that during the curfew period, I have no way of knowing what happened to them; I know nothing about them. However, their parents probably wouldn't want this to happen, so the problem likely doesn't lie with them.

What happened to them during the time I had no contact with them? Did they really not know, or did they know but choose to pretend not to know?

Ye Zi experienced something similar; from the time she got home from school until the next day before class, she probably went through some kind of change as well. But did these changes only happen to them?

I haven't forgotten this period of heightened desire. But when exactly did it begin? I, who should know best, have no clue. My own timeline is too chaotic, and my memory is severely flawed. I don't know if I didn't experience anything at all, or if I experienced it and quickly forgot it, or if this change wasn't the result of external forces, but rather something I accumulated through constant recollection that altered me?

I have absolutely no information that can be considered decisive, which is particularly distressing to me.

However, since things have turned out this way, there must be information I can uncover. Precisely because the current situation is different, things that don't match my memories become particularly obvious, which doesn't seem to be entirely a bad thing for my investigation.

These three girls have all undergone changes to varying degrees, but their goals are all aligned. Does this mean that what influences them is the same? That's certainly very possible. But what exactly is it that can influence them and simultaneously become connected to them?

Me? I did change them to some extent, but that's precisely why I can confirm that I wasn't the one who brought about such a significant change in them. At least in my current memory, almost everything they did was voluntary and proactive. Apart from the initial impact on them when I changed them, I was actually passively accepting all the other changes.

Besides me, is there anything else that can connect them and change them? I can't think of anything.

Lin Yin and Sanyue are alright, after all, they're sisters. Even if they're not in the same classroom or even the same building during the day, they're bound to interact at home in the evenings. In a way, influencing Sanyue affects Lin Yin, and vice versa. But Ye Zi is different; she doesn't have that kind of social circle. Even her parents aren't home, and besides me, she has no one to talk to…

No, wait a minute, Yezi has a problem… Who is that friend she contacted by phone that Yezi kept from me? And on Sanyue's side, there's also a mysterious person whose identity remains unknown—the one who provided Sanyue with weapons and medicine—whom I also know nothing about. This question almost got overlooked again…

Could they be the same person? I started to think about this question.

Chapter 187 A Joyful March

I've almost never paid attention to this matter because there are really no clues, but from the root of the current situation, whether it's Ye Zi or San Yue, their current state is inseparable from a certain mysterious person.

Yezi felt isolated at school and neglected by her parents at home, leading to an overwhelming sense of loneliness that she couldn't shake off, ultimately causing her to contemplate suicide. Just then, a mysterious person appeared and saved Yezi from her suicidal thoughts, telling her that one day she would meet someone who loved her. Given that this person ultimately didn't appear, it's likely that the person he spoke of wasn't himself.

At the time, I thought he might simply be trying to avoid trouble, so he used this method to buy some time and give Yezi a chance to live. Too much time has passed, and I can't confirm if things really turned out the way I thought, but Yezi's problem has been successfully resolved, and I didn't want to cause any more complications, so I let it go.

In March, while she was searching for a replacement, she obtained the knife and medicine from a mysterious person, and used these as the basis for the subsequent attack. Although these events did not occur this time, those items should still be with March.
