The cycle begins to repeat itself today.

Nothing unusual happened when I met up with March and Lin Yin. Even the situation that usually escalates in the morning didn't occur. March was probably still worried about Zhiyun, but for me, who desperately needed rest, this was a good thing.

Zhiyun and Linyin, two girls I knew quite well, walked ahead, chatting about trivial matters. I neither understood much nor could I join in the conversation, but since so many recent events were related to Zhiyun, I couldn't let my guard down. Even though I didn't understand much, I still kept a certain amount of attention on her. March walked with me a little further back.

"I was wondering why you were so late today, maybe you overslept? Turns out you were bothered by your little sister?" March whispered to me from the side. I turned to look at her, and she was still looking at our little sister, whom we were close to: "Your little sister really has a great figure. Want to do it again later?"

I shook my head: "Let me rest for a few days."

"A man can't say he can't do it."

“But if I rest for a few days, it will be more comfortable for either of you, right?” I extended my hand to March, and March understood and took my arm, becoming intimate with me again: “I wanted you to hold my hand.”

"It's all the same, all the same. Or is my sister jealous?" March rubbed against my arm, and I tried hard to suppress my thoughts, not wanting to recall or think about March's beautiful body: "Speaking of which, has my sister said what she thinks of us?"

"I mentioned it briefly before, but Zhiyun didn't seem to care much. You two might be able to get along well."

"That's really nice."

I could tell from March's voice that she was relatively happy, but I wasn't sure if it was something to be happy about. Our relationship was still very strange, and it would become even stranger after Zhiyun joined in. Logically speaking, things shouldn't have turned out this way, but they did... It was my own doing that caused this, yet I couldn't understand the situation. That's what I found most ironic.

"Aren't you going to talk to those two?"

"That's true. It would be better to strike up a conversation, since we'll be together soon. Does your little sister like discussing those kinds of topics?"

"I think she'd be happy to discuss this with you, but let's not talk about it now. If you do, I might not be able to rest today." I pinched March's cheek; it felt so soft and smooth. March didn't seem to mind, and even licked it when I pulled my hand away.

March is always incredibly tempting, and my already simmering desire began to stir again. But after thinking it over, I ultimately decided against it; if I continued like this, my body would surely break down first.

"Zhiyun, Xiaoyin." I called out to the two girls in front of me. They stopped talking and turned around to look at me. Zhiyun winked at me.

"They're so loving. Is Xiaoyin always like this?"

“…Mm.” Lin Yin’s face turned a little red, but she still nodded.

I observed Zhiyun's expression and found that she didn't seem dissatisfied, which reassured me a little.

"Let's chat for a bit, we should all get along well in the future."

Zhiyun walked confidently to my other side, took my arm, and used the same posture as Sanyue. Now I could feel the softness unique to girls on both sides, which once again made me start to have all sorts of fantasies.

"Can I call you Sister March?" Zhiyun tilted her head slightly, looking past me at March, who nodded with a smile: "Of course."

I glanced at Lin Yin, who was suddenly alone, and then kissed Zhiyun and Sanyue on the cheek. "You girls can chat by yourselves." Then I gently pulled away from their arms, quickened my pace a couple of steps, and came to Lin Yin's side, kissing her on the cheek as well.

"Xiaoyin is an important intermediary. We can't do without you. Come along and talk to her too."

Lin Yin's eyes seemed to flash with something, brightening up. She nodded, gave a happy "Mmm," and then went to the group of girls a little further back, taking the hands of her sister and her friend respectively, connecting them. The three of them started chatting.

It's a pity Yezi isn't here right now, otherwise I hope she could have joined in. For someone who's always been a bit introverted and shy, I think this would have been a pleasant surprise... Even though it's not a normal friendship, it would still make Yezi happy.

The only way to get Ye Zi and Zhi Yun back to being friends is during lunchtime.

The girls' topics seemed to be incredibly varied, and as expected, March didn't discuss anything related to that topic. They were talking about things I couldn't quite understand, but at least the atmosphere seemed alright, which reassured me a lot. Nothing changed until we reached the bottom of the main building. It was time to say goodbye to Zhiyun and Linyin.

Zhiyun whispered something in Lin Yin's ear, and the two of them let go of my hands, came to my sides, and kissed me on the cheek at the same time, before quickly pulling away: "This is a return gift for you."

"I don't think we need this kind of thing between us. Aren't you all mine?"

I raised my hand, intending to make a more intimate gesture to prove my earlier statement, but then I remembered we were downstairs in the main building, and the school's surveillance cameras were all in operation, so I stopped myself. Zhiyun seemed to understand what I was about to do, and smiled, "There's a small area here that the cameras don't see, and other students often hold hands here, so I remember it. You can do whatever you want here."

Hearing this, I didn't know if Zhiyun was telling the truth, but at least what they had just done corroborated some of it. I reached out and pinched Zhiyun's nose: "Alright, let's go upstairs. Come with Zhiyun for lunch, and we'll eat together in the cafeteria."

"Let's skip the cafeteria this time, shall we? Let's eat out together. Remember to invite Sister Yezi too," Zhiyun reminded me, then took Lin Yin's hand and led her inside the main building.

I shook my head, looked at March, and walked with her toward the teaching building.

Chapter 250 Nighttime Homework

I walked with March and we chatted about some random topics, mostly gossip. March talked about them with great enthusiasm, and I tried my best to respond with my limited knowledge, but it didn't seem to work very well. March quickly lost interest in it.

"Have you been talking too much nonsense? Aren't you getting impatient?" March asked me. I wasn't emotionally affected by that. I shook my head and smiled at her. "It's just that I can't keep up with what you have to say. I'm still willing to listen to what you want to say. I was worried that you'd find it boring that I can't say anything."

"As long as you don't find it annoying." March smiled as well. "But it seems that you boys don't really like discussing these things. In that case, I'll show you something that interests you."

In March, she reached her hand to her neckline. She was still wearing a sleeveless dress, which covered her fairly well, but if March pulled the dress open, I could still see a large expanse of snow-white skin.

"You promised me these two days to rest." I said helplessly, but my tone couldn't be forceful.

"I don't mind if you want it, but I'll be patient if you need to rest." March blinked. "What I want to show you is this." March pulled a cell phone out of her collar. It looked familiar, and after examining it closely, I realized it was somewhat familiar. I took the phone and felt its texture. This should be the cell phone I had taken from March before.

"I secretly saved up money to buy this. I didn't even tell Xiaoyin about it. I took it out in front of Xiaoyin yesterday to make you happy, and she was very surprised. Her expression was so cute, I even took a picture of it."

March reached out and pressed on the side of the phone for a while, as if she was turning it on: "Because charging is quite troublesome, and my parents are usually home when I'm at home, I have to be very careful when charging it, so I turn it off when I'm not using it."

"You're just hiding it on your body like this?" I asked a pointless question. I probably already knew this, but I still had to act like I was seeing the phone for the first time.

“After all, there’s nowhere else to hide it.” March twirled in front of me, her dress billowing up slightly, but quickly falling back down. “I’m wearing a dress, it doesn’t even have pockets. And even if it did, I wouldn’t usually put it in my clothes. I bought this phone secretly, and everyone around me knows I don’t have a phone. If they saw it, it would be troublesome. But luckily, I’m in good shape, so I can hide it in the middle of here.”

In March, she held her palm up to her chest and sank it in deeply: "It's a little cramped, but I can move around freely after I get used to it."

“That’s really… an amazing skill.” I replied to March with those words, and she seemed quite satisfied with the response.

"There's basically nothing on the phone, but I took a lot of photos yesterday. I've also given you the password, because it's saved with a lot of... well, things you might like, but I don't really want other people to see them. It would be a hassle if it got lost, so I set a password anyway." March's fingers tapped on the screen, and she even read out the numbers. I memorized them in my mind: "Look, this is Xiaoyin's expression when I took out the phone yesterday."

In March, she clicked on what appeared to be the album icon and saw thumbnails of many photos. She clicked on the first photo, and I saw Lin Yin's charming yet surprised expression. It was clear that she was genuinely surprised, but perhaps because she was naturally beautiful, or perhaps because March captured the photo at a very good time, Lin Yin looked exceptionally cute in this picture.

Isn't it cute?

I nodded.

"There are more photos coming up, I think you'll like them."

March swiped through the photos, flipping to the next one. This one was of March herself, and the background… I recognized it too—it was the curtains of March's own room, drawn tightly shut, with the lights on. The photo was exceptionally clear. March was taking a selfie with her phone in one hand, while the other hand lifted her pajamas, biting a corner of them in her mouth. Behind her, on the chair next to the desk, I could see her underwear hanging on it. Although she wasn't completely exposed, this half-concealed pose seemed even more alluring.

“These are all poses I learned online. Do you think they look good? Or do you prefer something more direct, like without clothes?” March asked for my opinion.

I considered my words and phrasing: "It's up to you. You can keep any photo you think looks good. I think you'll be more charming if you're more confident in your own ideas."

"You're so good with words." March chuckled softly, a happy expression on her face. She gently kissed my lips, then quickly pulled away: "Since that's what you think, then I'll film according to my own ideas from now on."

"Ah."

"Turn to the back, I took a lot of pictures this time because I wasn't very confident."

In March, she scrolled through her phone screen more actively than I did. One photo after another flashed before my eyes. In the photos, March struck various alluring poses, her clothes gradually changing from a half-undone nightgown to complete nudity. The girls in the photos also changed from just March to her and the Lin sisters. Unlike March, whose expression gradually became excited, Lin Yin looked very nervous and shy, but this was a fatal temptation for me. I stood in the hallway for a few minutes, looking at all the photos with March. I felt a fire burning in my heart, but I managed to suppress it.

"It's better than I expected overall, you did a great job." I pinched March's cheek and handed her the phone, and she was still smiling happily.

"If you like, I'll take pictures every day. Do you use messaging apps?"

I shook my head.

"Oh, I see... I'll talk to Yezi about it later and ask her to come too. We can compare whose photos are better tonight. Hehe..." March hugged her phone, squinted her eyes, and drifted into a daydream.

Chapter 251 The Origin of the Change

As usual, I entered the classroom a little later than in March, and again, I didn't attract anyone's attention, returning to my seat without a word. I greeted Yezi, then went back to my place. Yezi was still secretly watching me; when I smiled at her, she would shyly lower her head, pretending not to see me looking at her. But if I gently held her hand, she would look at me.

Although I shouldn't say such arrogant things, I always hope to give Yezi some kind of reward. It doesn't have to be anything special, just something that makes her happy.

Although it was still early, I didn't talk to Yezi any longer. I didn't disturb her reading and took out a book to read myself. However, my mind was neither on Yezi nor on the book. I was still thinking about how to act in the future.

In the current situation, the girl with the biggest problem... should be Zhiyun.

Contrary to the apparent growing closer relationship, Zhiyun has become more distant to me. This is because the existing relationship has been completely destroyed and I have gained a deeper understanding of her, which brings about a sense of estrangement. What happened in these few days was like an avalanche for me, but I also have a part in it because of my own negligence. I can't blame anyone at all. This result is my own doing.

Our relationship is far from normal; this seemingly idyllic situation is rife with falsehoods and lies. Some of these may not be lies, but they could be something lurking in the mist, born from lies.

We must find a breakthrough with Zhiyun... She has only revealed the problem; nothing is truly resolved yet. If we can completely resolve the issue controlling her, like Yezi or Sanyue did before, perhaps we can return to a normal relationship... Even if we can't go back, it would still be much better than living in lies like we are now.

Zhiyun once said that she had liked me a long time ago, but my memory doesn't retain any core event that caused a significant change in Zhiyun's attitude towards me. Zhiyun also didn't tell me what caused her to look at me differently than a normal sibling. The things she mentioned, like chasing away the vicious dog, weren't the core issue. If it were a normal event, even if Zhiyun looked at me with admiration, it would never have tainted her with madness.

On the night I first had sex with Zhiyun, her expression, tone of voice, and everything she said were abnormal; it was more like an outburst after reaching her breaking point. The direct cause of this was that I didn't come home that weekend and left my phone at home. Zhiyun obtained information about me through my phone, so leaving it at home meant she couldn't access that information anymore. These two things combined put immense pressure on Zhiyun, ultimately leading to what happened that night.

In other words, if I hadn't stayed out all night, or if I had brought my phone with me, would that thing have happened?

Zhiyun's abnormality had been building up for a long time, and what she did that day was like releasing all the pent-up emotions like a flood. Without that trigger, the events of that day probably wouldn't have happened, but all of Zhiyun's pressure and emotions would have continued to accumulate. As long as the fundamental factors affecting her remain unchanged, this situation will eventually erupt. It doesn't even need to be like staying out all night or not carrying a phone; even a simple conversation could become the spark. Because without a proper outlet, the accumulated pressure and emotions won't simply disappear.

As for Zhiyun, if things related to me are the source of her stress, then the best outlet is myself. I can't imagine Zhiyun doing such a thing in someone else's arms, and I find it completely unacceptable after things have turned out this way. Perhaps it's my selfish possessiveness at play, but I think the current situation is much better than the unknown.

My relationship with Zhiyun developed this way without me even realizing it; I don't even remember when Zhiyun's attitude towards me changed noticeably. If the change in attitude truly stemmed from the accumulation of small things in daily life, then it would be almost impossible to reverse. But Zhiyun's attitude gave me the possibility of trying to reverse it.

I suddenly realized something crucial in this incident; without it, Zhiyun probably wouldn't have harbored such a terrifying obsession with me.

Previously, my relationship with Zhiyun was good, but it was nowhere near as close as it is now. Occasionally, we would engage in some intimate actions, but we would quickly separate, just like normal siblings with a good relationship. However, my relationship with Zhiyun is not a normal sibling relationship, not only because we did things that we should never have done, but also because... Zhiyun doesn't seem to be my biological sister.

That night, Zhiyun mentioned the "adoption certificate" very clearly. Although she had harbored these feelings for me a long time ago, nothing had happened before, proving that ethical and moral constraints had always prevented Zhiyun from crossing that line. However, that adoption certificate completely destroyed that relationship. Zhiyun was an adopted child; there was no blood sibling relationship between us, and legally, we could even be married.

It was probably from that time that Zhiyun started planning this.

If a goal is within reach but remains unattainable, immense joy will transform into equally immense pressure weighing on the heart. This is probably Zhiyun's greatest source of pressure. However, the timing is slightly off…

Zhiyun seems to have been shaping and maintaining her figure for a long time. Her skin is smooth and fair, and her body is elastic. This is not the result of short-term high-intensity training. If that adoption certificate really exists, it is definitely not something that was discovered in this year or last year. If it were to be changed earlier, it would have started at least several years ago. Otherwise, Zhiyun would not have put in so much effort for something that is impossible to know in advance.

But... when exactly was it?

Chapter 252 A Little Adventure

This morning I spent mostly daydreaming. Even when I tried to think about something, various uncertainties caused me to abandon my train of thought, resulting in me accomplishing nothing all morning. This continued until lunch break when Yezi woke me up from my daydreaming.

"It's time to go eat..."

Her voice was still light and airy, but that was enough to pull me out of my chaotic and ineffective thoughts. I came to my senses and realized that get out of class was over. I stood up and said, "Let's go."

Yezi nodded and stood up as well. March was already waiting at the classroom door. After coming to March's side, the three of us walked downstairs together.

"Why do you seem a little distracted today?" While waiting for Lin Yin and Zhi Yun, March asked me this question. I looked at her, only to find that Ye Zi had a similar expression. Perhaps it was because Ye Zi wasn't as brave as March; although she had the same question, she didn't ask it.

March's question made me realize that my expression might be a little off. I tried to adjust it and shook my head at March: "I just haven't had much rest these past two days, so I'm feeling a bit tired. By the way, March, didn't you have something to say to Yezi?"

I successfully changed the subject, and March's attention shifted to Ye Zi: "I almost forgot. But should we talk about it together when we eat in the cafeteria later? Zhiyun probably wants to join in too, right? And it seems more convenient if Zhiyun is there."

I was a little surprised that March would take the initiative to bring Zhiyun in, and I was also a little puzzled by it. I thought for a moment: "There are too many people in the cafeteria, and they are not far apart. If we talk there, they might be overheard. Anyway, Zhiyun is in the same room as me every day, so I can tell her in the evening."

“I see…” March nodded, then looked at Yezi and explained, Yezi blushed.
