The system forced me to blow up the female lead's fishpond.

She felt the cold metallic touch on her neck, along with the man's chilling murderous aura.

"I, Your Highness, will kill you."

This unexpected reversal, completely different from what she had imagined, came so suddenly that it made her tremble.

Shen Zhizhi clenched her fists tightly, a sense of panic sweeping up her body: "Second, Second Prince, what are you doing? I'm not Second Sister, please open your eyes and look carefully."

Did she overstimulate him, causing Chu Chouchi to lose his mind because he couldn't accept it for a while?

"I know," Chu Chouchi said in a cold voice.

Damn it! You knew that and you still pointed a knife at me!

Shen Zhizhi's face immediately fell, but she still forced a smile and said, "Then why does Your Highness still want to kill me?"

“Jealousy,” he replied.

Upon hearing those two words, Shen Zhizhi felt as if her cerebellum had shrunk. She was completely bewildered and didn't know what to say: "Your Highness, please enlighten me."

Chu Chouchi stared at her quietly for a moment before speaking, "This prince also sent people to protect A-Shou in secret, but I never knew that A-Shou had been to so many places."

His dark eyes were as still as a stagnant pool, his gaze sweeping over Shen Zhizhi's fair neck: "This prince will not allow it! He will not allow anyone in this world to know her better than this prince."

Shen Zhizhi:! ! !

Damn it! All you're thinking about is that ocean, huh? You can't even grasp the important thing!

Damn it, she was too hasty!

This isn't someone with a love-struck mindset at all!

Instead, he's a love-obsessed, simp, and utterly resentful king of simps, with his 'boff' stacked to the max!

With the cold dagger pressed against her throat, Shen Zhizhi swallowed hard, a chill running down her spine, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Chouchi pressed the dagger in three-tenths of an inch, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Blame yourself..."

The dagger was about to draw blood—

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

In the face of death, Shen Zhizhi closed her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs, "I don't understand her! I don't understand her! I don't understand her at all!"

“…” His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved the dagger back a little.

Feeling the dagger no longer close to her neck, Shen Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. But since knives have no eyes, she still kept her body stiff and dared not move.

Chu Chouchi tilted his head. He was extremely handsome, with dragon-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, white teeth, and red lips.

Like a proud plum blossom standing tall in the snow, its subtle fragrance and sparse shadows are captivating, yet its clear black and white eyes exude a cold and aloof demeanor.

He stared at her for a while, then parted his thin lips slightly: "Where's the evidence?"

"Gah?"

Shen Zhizhi was completely bewildered.

Evidence? What kind of evidence is needed? If you don't know, you don't know. What evidence do you need?

Seeing her expression, Chu Chouchi sneered, bringing the dagger closer once more, his voice chillingly cold: "Since there's no evidence, are you trying to deceive this prince?"

Damn it! Here we go again!

It’s not over, right?

But she couldn't care less about complaining now; instead, she put on a pained expression and hurriedly began to speak:

"My second sister loves the peach blossom pastries that Your Highness makes by hand. She even ate too many before and got constipated and couldn't poop. I didn't know any of this!"

Shen Zhizhi closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and decided to try anything, spouting nonsense.

"Your Highness's love for my second sister is as clear as day, and you are undoubtedly the one who understands her best in the world. I truly don't understand her at all, Your Highness!"

Ya Dan choked up again and kindly reminded her:

[Host, I asked you to refute, not to provide examples to prove it!]

Shut up! If you're so good, you do it!

The leader silently shut up.

"Hmm." Chu Chouchi's killing intent subsided slightly, and he gave a meaningful "hmm."

Ya Dan stared in disbelief: "You actually believed that?!"

Shen Zhizhi was overjoyed, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her seemingly empty and unfocused eyes.

Hey! It worked? I don't have to die anymore?

The happiness that Yu Houjie was living didn't last long before Shen Zhizhi realized that she had obviously overthought things.

Chu Chouchi had no intention of letting her go so quickly, and a new question was raised again.

"If that's the case, then why go to such lengths to find her?"

Chu Chouchi squatted down, his right hand holding a sharp knife as he moved it to her neck and caressed it.

With his left hand supporting his chin and his elbow resting on his left knee, he spoke softly, "Going to such lengths to follow her, could it be that you have a romantic interest in her?"

Shen Zhizhi:? ? ?

"Holy shit...!"

Just as the curse was about to escape his lips, Chu Chouchi glared at him, silencing him.

Shen Zhizhi was stunned instantly.

The profanity that had been threatening to escape his throat was abruptly swallowed back: "Sun~ The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke~"

She really wanted to spit on him and kill him. What kind of devilish statement was that?

[Host, have you forgotten? Chu Chouchi's character is extremely possessive; he won't allow women to get too close to the female lead.]

Shen Zhizhi gritted her teeth: [I understand! This is what it means to be a pervert!]

She took a deep breath and steadied herself: "Your Highness has misunderstood. My second sister and I are sisters. How could I possibly have such thoughts about her?"

She really had a heart attack.

Indeed, money is never easy to earn, no matter what world you're in or what kind of work you do.

Who knew you were so vicious, and that your nature wasn't the same as others?

Chu Chouchi's cold and indifferent tone came from his throat, carrying a hint of contempt.

"What if you're deliberately trying to smear her in front of me so that I'll give up and you can marry A-Shou instead?"

Shen Zhizhi: Smiling.jpg

I really want to bite someone! Damn it!

I don't know what's wrong with Chu Chouchi. He's not focusing on anything and his mind is full of Shen Qinshou, making it impossible for her to communicate with him.

Was Shen Qinshou involved in pyramid schemes in her past and future lives? She's so good at brainwashing!

Shen Zhizhi suppressed her anger and said with a wronged expression, "Your Highness, I have no such intentions. Besides, I am blind, which is my own fault. Could you please put down the dagger?"

"Heh." Chu Chouchi snorted softly, slowly standing up, but he showed no intention of lowering the dagger pressed against her neck.

"Fine, you've harmed yourself in the end. It's a relief that you've gone blind, but..."

A chill ran through Chu Chouchi's eyes, which coiled around Shen Zhizhi like a venomous scorpion.

Even if Shen Zhizhi only glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, she could feel the oppressive feeling emanating from his gaze.

"You still have to die." He said it casually, glossing over the matter.

Shen Zhizhi:?

"Holy shit...!"

Chu Chouchi: ?

He paused for a moment, then swallowed his tears and finally said, "Damn, the grass grows and the orioles fly in the second month of spring..."

Ya Dan fell silent. Its conscience, still intact, realized that coming to this world and encountering Chu Chou Chi, a host with an extreme obsession with love, was quite tragic.

Seeing his host's pitiful, dumbfounded state, he couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Host, it's normal. After all, a job worth three million is a bit difficult!"

Shen Zhizhi forced a smile, a smile that was both insincere and chilling to behold.

I understand, office workers, how can they not go crazy?
