The cycle begins to repeat itself today.

Regardless of whether these things have any impact on me now, they are certainly there. That knife…

I suddenly remembered the night I went to the school to investigate March. March attacked me with a knife with barbs and medicine on it. I managed to take the knife away. The knife itself wasn't anything special, but what was special was that someone had modified it... It couldn't have been March who made it. She didn't have the skills or tools. Her parents wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

In other words, what March said about the other person was true and credible. However, she still couldn't give me any decent information.

Did she usually carry that knife with her in March? Or did she keep it somewhere? I don't think I've seen it since things started going like this. She couldn't possibly carry such a knife with her all the time; she had nowhere to put it… Speaking of which, there's something else missing.

Cell phones in March.

March secretly bought her cell phone with her savings, and it seems no one else besides herself and me knew about it. But recently, I haven't felt the presence of March's cell phone; it seems to have disappeared from my sight.

I moved my hand slightly, stroking March's body. All I could feel was the familiar touch of the fabric and the delicate body of March hidden beneath it. Nothing else.

March seemed to become restless again because of my actions, giggling beside me, rubbing against me while saying seductive and suggestive things. Yezi, who was next to me, didn't make any moves, but her eyes were always on me; she didn't seem to realize that something was wrong with the situation.

But so far, my relationship with them has never been normal. So, can this be considered a normal situation? I played with my head, and with my other hand, I placed it on Yezi's waist and moved it very gently. Just this made Yezi's face turn bright red.

"Ye Zi, what time is it now?" I asked her. Ye Zi then took her phone out of her pocket. I noticed that March seemed to be looking at Ye Zi. She gripped my hand a little tighter. Was she jealous?

I whispered in March's ear, "March, don't you have one too? It won't hurt if you play for a little while, and there's no one else around right now."

She looked up at me, suddenly laughed, and then wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me, though this time it didn't last long: "That thing, I've kept it at home ever since I had you. But you actually knew I had a cell phone?"

“I’m very interested in your affairs,” I said casually, but March seemed to believe me without a doubt.

"Oh, I see... Haha. What kind of reward do you think I should give you?" She suddenly cupped my face and moved closer: "I realize I really hit the jackpot. You're even more to my liking than I imagined... How can I thank you for making me so happy?"

"Haven't you already thanked me with yourself?"

March shook her head: "This isn't enough. But you complain about the location, so this will do..."

March stood up from my arms and walked over to Yezi, who had been watching us the whole time. She leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Hey, Yezi, may I call you that?"

Ye Zi nodded somewhat blankly.

“You can just call me March, I don’t really like my name.” March’s hand climbed up Leaf’s cheek, forcing her to look at her: “I’m very happy right now, but someone is too particular, I can’t express how happy I am, so… can we play together for a while?”

Ye Zi didn't speak, or perhaps March didn't give her a chance; she simply kissed Ye Zi directly. But this wasn't the same level of contact as before. I saw March's hand go around Ye Zi's back, embracing her and leaving no space between them.

March pressed down on Ye Zi, while Ye Zi leaned against me, leaving her no room to retreat any further. March removed her other hand and moved it to Ye Zi's body.

I observed this scene closely, my gaze completely captivated by March. The whimpering of the leaves was robbing me of my reason, and my body was reacting uncontrollably. But I remained still, simply watching quietly.

It's not that I possess the ability to remain rational in such a situation, nor is it that Yezi and Sanyue aren't attractive enough to me; it's simply because... the scene before me feels incredibly familiar.

This should only be considered the first time Yezi and Sanyue have officially met and gotten to know each other, because under the previous circumstances, they probably didn't have any interaction. And this scene before me should be the first time I've ever seen anything like it, so why does it feel so familiar?

It wasn't until the scenes unfolding before my eyes kept overlapping with my own memories that I realized where this sense of familiarity came from.

I have seen such a scene before.

Something that never existed keeps appearing in my mind.

Chapter 188 The Outcome of the Operation

March and Leaf were displaying their charm without a care in the world, and even though I felt that their charm was a bit excessive, they didn't seem to think it was a bad thing.

I was stunned by the familiar scene before me. The actions of March and Leaf, as soon as she made a move, would appear in my mind as she made her next move, and as time went on, the reality was exactly the same as the scene I had imagined.

This can no longer be simply categorized as the brain's fantasies going berserk... It's more like... a kind of premonition.

But the thought of this brought back countless images and characters that had crossed my mind, and I felt a pang of bitterness. Yet, amidst this bitterness, I found that I wasn't too resistant to this desire; in fact, I was even hoping that these images would become reality.

I might have started to get caught up in this to some extent, but at least I'm still clear-headed for now. I know I should hurry... I hugged March and Leaf, who was now between March and me, and started thinking about other things.

Let's continue with the question we were just thinking about... What was it again? Oh, the mysterious person, and Lin Yin.

Currently, I have a deep relationship with three girls: Ye Zi, San Yue, and Lin Yin. Among them, Ye Zi and San Yue are known to have a mysterious person playing an important role in the events they are involved in. So what about Lin Yin? Does Lin Yin have such a person?

Looking at the engrossed March, I found my answer. Lin Yin should also have this, and it's the same person who supported March's actions. In reality, this is more reasonable. Everything that has affected Lin Yin has come primarily from her parents and sister, but her parents wouldn't do such a thing. They tried to force their daughter to reach the heights they desired through pressure, so naturally they wouldn't allow something like this to happen.

This is precisely why a large part of the initiative and enthusiasm in March comes about.

If that's the case, then attributing Lin Yin to the influence of the mysterious person who influenced March is not impossible, because that mysterious person may very well have influenced Lin Yin through March, and this is indeed quite feasible.

So now there are at least two mysterious people whose identities are unknown.

The mysterious person who saved Ye Zi's life six months ago and told her to come to the roof of the teaching building at this time of night to wait for the person who likes her, let's call him Mysterious Person A for now.

There's also the mysterious person who previously assisted the March Substitute Project and likely influenced Lin Yin; let's call him Mysterious Person B.

At least two such people will appear. So, is it possible that Mysterious Person A and Mysterious Person B are the same person? It's possible.

Leaving aside the process and time, let's look directly at the results. As it stands, Ye Zi, San Yue, and even Lin Yin have been affected by that mysterious person. Among these three girls, Ye Zi and San Yue are known to have serious problems. However, including them, and Lin Yin, whose fate is still unclear, they have also gathered around me. Is this a coincidence?

I am not normal right now, I am very abnormal, and I know this better than anyone else. Unending desires, an inability to control my body, a regression beyond the realm of reality... I have undergone such drastic changes in such a short period of time, and this has appeared in my life without any warning.

This phenomenon of regression is related to Ye Zi, to March, and probably also to Lin Yin. If we add that mysterious person who involved all three girls... there must be some kind of connection among us. Otherwise, I can't think of any possibility that would lead me into entanglement with these three girls who originally had no connection.

If it weren't for the time travel, I probably wouldn't have saved Ye Zi before she jumped. If it weren't for Ye Zi, I probably wouldn't have tried to change her after being attacked by San Yue. If I hadn't wanted to change San Yue, I wouldn't have inexplicably skipped through time and met her sister Lin Yin. That's my connection with these three girls. So, what about me and that mysterious person?

How did I even get involved with someone like that? The information we have is still insufficient, and guessing won't help. But if I stop thinking, Ye Zi and San Yue will probably immediately steal my attention, even my reason, and I dare not do that.

I reflected on the current situation, because it remains a situation that I still find incredibly unbelievable.

Logically speaking, maintaining a relationship with a girl that goes beyond friendship is already a lucky yet difficult thing, but I'm watching two girls with whom I have this kind of relationship entangled with each other. If one of them's younger sister were here, I have no doubt that March would have dragged her into this situation as well. It's a scene that's simply irresistible to men. And this is the current situation.

I can't glean any useful information from the current situation, so let's shift our perspective slightly and take a longer-term view. What if this scenario isn't the end result?

First, let's start with how it all started. Why did things turn out this way? Because I took Yezi to the rooftop to comfort her, but Sanyue saw it and followed me there, which led to the situation we see now.

Secondly, what happened? March, who originally wanted to be with my family, seemed to be stimulated by my words and became happy. However, she did not do anything too outrageous to me. Instead, she changed her target and became intimate with Yezi. I watched as a spectator witnessing the intimate scene between the two beautiful girls.

This should have been the outcome, but what happened if we consider this scene as the beginning?

March and Leaf's relationship has improved? That's a good thing, but it doesn't have much to do with me personally.

Their intimate scene aroused me, making me want to release my pent-up desires. However, in my current state, although my body reacted, I didn't do anything out of line, so this should be considered a failure.

It has to be something that concerns me, and it must be a successful thing...

What was I doing before? Thinking about these girls. What was I doing when they started getting intimate? Watching them.

My thoughts were interrupted, my problem-solving was disrupted, and that's the result.

The warm body that I was holding in my arms gradually lost its warmth to me.

Chapter 189 The Real Self

When I realized the impact these girls' behavior would have on me, I couldn't help but recall all the things that had happened from the beginning until now, and similar situations were not uncommon.

While this included moments of self-indulgence, a significant number of situations were completely unexpected. For example, when I was searching for information about Lin Yin in Lin Yin's classroom, Lin Yin disobeyed her promise and followed me up. At the time, I thought it was an overreaction to her position as class monitor, but now, thinking back, it was very likely a result of feigning that purpose. From the outcome alone, Lin Yin's actions achieved the same effect.

This morning, Yezi, without my consent, took it upon herself to serve me. This is highly suspicious, as Yezi shouldn't possess such knowledge. Our relationship, aside from this irrational need, is largely built upon a more normal and formal agreement between us. Given Yezi's personality, it's entirely impossible for her to disregard that agreement and do something that might anger me.

As for March, she's a repeat offender. Whether it's simply because she wanted to do it, or because she wanted to distract me, there's been a bit too much going on between us. And since March's motives are very clear—doing something like this under the guise of "getting revenge on her parents"—it's understandable to me... Perhaps it's precisely because she did this to me that I "understand" her thinking.

However, it is undeniable that the actions in March were very effective in suppressing my thoughts.

The three girls included Ye Zi, whom I probably wouldn't have had much contact with before. Compared to the two sisters, San Yue and Lin Yin, she chose to serve me in a slightly strange manner, and ended up with the same result—disrupting my thoughts.

I don't believe these three girls weren't influenced by something they shared. But it's also unlikely they had spoken before. Could they really have orchestrated my death to make me the winner in life, able to have all three girls by myself? If I hadn't appeared, Ye Zi would have died, March would have been unable to exact her "revenge" on her parents, and Lin Yin would have remained unchanged, still chasing after her sister's shadow.

This is not good for these three girls, and I don't believe that a smart and shrewd girl like March would do something so pointless.

If that's the case, then this behavior, and even what these three girls are doing to me now, is very likely something that was pre-planned specifically for me, a scenario designed solely for me. Or perhaps, it's targeting this "identity" that triggers everything between me and these three girls.

But actually, I think this is probably a result specific to me personally, because none of what happened to me could have happened to anyone else. How can you understand the true stories that happened to these girls if you can't constantly relive those experiences?

If there were no second chance, Ye Zi would have lost her life the first time she jumped off the building. March wouldn't have taken any further action, and naturally, she wouldn't have met Lin Yin and done such a terrible thing to her. If there were no second chance, who could possibly know so much information all at once? If someone could, it could only be the instigator of this whole affair.

So, who exactly is capable of doing such a thing?

Suddenly I felt a hand groping my body. I was distracted for a moment and saw March, who was kissing Ye Zi, looking at me. One of her hands was on the back of Ye Zi's hand, guiding her hand to my body. My body had already reacted to their actions, and because of them, my burning desire began to boil.

The hands that had been holding the two girls began to wander uncontrollably over their bodies. Satisfied with this, March stopped kissing Yezi and moved over her neck to kiss me. Their hands continued their movements.

My previously clear consciousness suddenly became blurry again. I realized this and tried to pull back, but I had no control over my body. My consciousness was being constantly eroded, and I was unable to think of anything else.

I'm incredibly sensitive to the strange sensations on my body right now; even the slightest touch makes me feel like I'm about to tremble. I watched as March patted Leaf's back, and Leaf slipped out of my arms, then turned towards March and bent down.

As I felt Ye Zi's lips again, I heard that familiar laughter once more. But I had no control over my body; I couldn't even turn my head. Everything about me was now under the control of these two girls.

But that laughter... I always felt like the name of its owner was on the tip of my tongue, yet I just couldn't say it. Even though I knew it so well, I still couldn't say it. This feeling was agonizing, but Yezi and March were relentlessly plundering my will.

I can't think anymore, and I can't break the status quo. I don't even know how I feel right now—happy? Or sad? I feel more like a bystander who can only empathize, yet is also a participant in this event. All I can think of, all I know, is one thing… I must change my current situation.

If everything happening now exists to prevent me from continuing to think about these issues, then isn't what I need to do now quite obvious?

I sighed inwardly. It turned out that what I had been holding onto was nothing more than a bottom line that was constantly being broken down and rebuilt at an even lower level amidst constant challenges. At this point, not finding the truth would be even more painful. It would mean I had given everything and gained nothing… I simply didn't want to lose; I had to find out.

I began to consciously touch the leaves and March's body, which was at my mercy, and stopped deceiving myself.

Chapter 190 Bored Time

I gently patted the two girls on the back. They seemed a little tired after being slightly overexcited. They leaned against me, their bodies still warm.

"Fix your clothes and rest for a while, otherwise it will be a little troublesome if you get sleepy in class later." I told the two of them, and while they were fixing their clothes, I also tidied my own clothes.

In March, she brought a handkerchief and wiped the marks off herself and Yezi. Then she sat back in my lap and said, "I won't let you move around this time. I need to rest for a while too... I'm sitting at the front of the classroom. It would be really bad if I fell asleep. If you're still not satisfied, you can get intimate with Yezi."

Although she said that, she was sitting on one of my legs, and even if I had any ideas, I couldn't carry them out smoothly with such an obstacle in place. So, what March said was as good as nothing. Even though I wasn't planning on doing anything else anyway.

Apart from feeling somewhat tired, I didn't feel any discomfort. In fact, the pent-up desires were completely consumed by the leaves and March, which made me feel at ease.

I glanced at Yezi, who was looking down, seemingly afraid to look at me. I gently stroked her hair with my right hand: "Yezi, why don't you rest for a bit? I'll set an alarm, and we'll go down when it's time."

"Mmm." Yezi nodded, seemingly accepting the relationship between me, her, and March. She then leaned against my other side, resting in my arms alongside March.

I freed my hands for a moment, checked the time, and it was already around 1:30. It felt like so much time had passed without me realizing it… I shook my head, trying to banish the desire that had just subsided but was now resurfacing from my mind.

Thanks to this situation, I already know what to do next. That laughter is inextricably linked to my current predicament, and I have reason to believe it wasn't intended to help me. The figure that flashed past the window earlier was probably the source of the laughter; he didn't let me see him, but I felt I could sense his purpose.

The other party seemed to be observing my state. When did the laughter occur? It basically happened whenever I was in very close and intimate contact with these girls, including just now. This laughter seemed to function as some kind of signal; perhaps the changes in Ye Zisanyue and Lin Yin were closely related to this laughter.

If we take this into account, perhaps the other party is also related to the man in black. However, this seems a bit too optimistic; it's best not to have too many expectations before finding him.
