Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"I'll be down in a bit. Oh, by the way, Sister Ye, don't you have school? How's it going at university abroad?"

Her expression froze, and Qi Xinye buried her head on the table: "Xiao Zhe, you should know... the university arrangements were originally the Qi family's, so..."

"So you've already dropped out of school?"

"Hmm... I don't know if this is the right thing to do, Xiao Zhe, what do you think..."

Qi Xinye actually cares more about Yu Zhe's opinion than her own.

Yu Zhe simply gave a thumbs up: "Great job, no problem. After all, the Qi family sent you abroad not so you could learn skills, but just to avoid me. I'm happy that Sister Ye can find her own path."

"Is...is that so..." Qi Xinye breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm currently learning about management at home, but to be honest, I'm a little surprised that my father didn't stop me from dropping out of university abroad this time."

"Yes, that's what I expected."

"Xiao Zhe, do you know anything?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Zhe looked away somewhat awkwardly: "Haha...no, no, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Of course, it's not entirely baseless, but it's not the right time yet. Anyway, I know that Sister Ye isn't going to university and is doing quite well at home.

Resting her chest on the table, Qi Xinye leaned closer and said, "Well... no matter what, things are going relatively smoothly... Hmm? Xiao Zhe, are those banners over there for the sports meet?"

Turning around, Yu Zhe also saw the banner for the opening ceremony of the sports meet in the center of the main playground.

"Ah, right, the sports meet is tomorrow. I've seen the venue, and it's pretty well set up."

I couldn't help but shift my gaze slightly away. Sister Ye, her breasts! They were too close to the screen!

Qi Xinye narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with worry: "Xiao Zhe, you didn't sign up, did you?"

"Hey? Why not? Just participate a little. I only signed up for one activity."

"You can't report it!" Qi Xinye practically pressed her face against the screen. "Don't you know your own leg? Didn't the doctor say you shouldn't do strenuous exercise? I was there too, didn't Zixiao and Yuche stop you?"

I don't know if it was strenuous exercise or not, but I do know that the shaking in front of his chest on the screen was really intense.

Her tone was somewhat agitated, indicating that Qi Xinye was genuinely worried about Yu Zhe's condition.

On the other hand, Yu Zhe remained calm, gently tapping the screen as if he were patting Qi Xinye's head from afar.

"Don't panic, Sister Ye. The doctor is right, but that doesn't mean I can't run. I know my condition, so I signed up for the shortest event, the 100-meter dash. At most, my legs will hurt a little after the race, but it's not a big problem."

"You... sigh! I don't even know what to say to you. You know perfectly well... even if there won't be any major problems, there will still be a lot of people who will feel sorry for you."

Yu Zhe, ever the mischievous one, still wore a wicked grin: "Does Sister Ye also feel sorry for her?"

"Isn't that obvious!"

Qi Xinye is already packing her things and will come to the school tomorrow to keep an eye on things. She knows that once Yu Zhe decides to do something, he will definitely not suddenly change his mind halfway through.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I'm careful not to make Sister Ye worry."

Qi Xinye blushed and moved her phone slightly away from her seat: "Anyway, I'll be going to your school tomorrow. What do I need to prepare...?"

"No need, no need, just run one race. After you finish, I'll take you around the school."

Yu Zhe thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill; what could you possibly need to prepare for a run?

Qi Xinye thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go shopping together then. But I don't need to do the preparation. I guess Zixiao has already taken care of it."

"Sister Ye, you're overthinking it. It's really not that serious. Oh, the bell rang, I'm going down now. I'll wait for you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Um... See you tomorrow, Xiao Zhe."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhe smiled helplessly.

Sister Ye is still as cautious as ever. She prepares for everything in an exaggerated way. I remember once when we were camping, she insisted on bringing a fire extinguisher. No, the tent is already heavy enough, why would you bring a fire extinguisher?

However, Zixiao would never go that far. Although she is very meticulous, she still has common sense and rationality.

Yes, Yu Zhe is now absolutely convinced of this.

....................................... ..

After school in the afternoon.

Yu Zhe first went home with Zi Xiao. As soon as he put down his schoolbag, Zi Xiao said that she had forgotten to buy something, and then went out.

Did you forget to buy groceries? But there's everything in the fridge.

That's a bit strange.

A sentence Sister Ye said that morning flashed through my mind.

"Zixiao will arrange everything properly."

No, no, no, that shouldn't be the case.

About ten minutes later, Zixiao returned.

Yu Zhe, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up.

The apple in my hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Zixiao carried a bunch of bags and struggled to bring everything into the house.

What's that at the very back? And there's a stretcher?

What big promotional event did you happen to catch?

Yu Zhe was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After closing the door, Zixiao wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Phew~ I'm exhausted. Luckily, the convenience store downstairs has everything, otherwise I would have had to go to the city mall."

This saved a lot of trouble.

What did you buy?!

Yu Zhe flipped over and jumped straight from the sofa to the door.

Sister Ye, you're right!

You're not the only one who's so meticulous that you lack common sense!

Actually, Zixiao wasn't lacking in common sense; she just felt it was better to be prepared.

Blinking in confusion, Zixiao picked up a bag: "It's nothing, just some things that my brother might need for the sports meet tomorrow."

Opening the bag, Zixiao counted the items one by one: "Look... glucose, apples, bandages, iodine, and this is also a small first aid kit. It's really useful!"

Seeing Zixiao's satisfied smile, Yuzhe was not moved at all, and instead pointed to the stretcher placed behind him as if he had given up.

"What about this? A stretcher? Why don't you just buy a wheelchair!"

“Something is better than nothing…” Zixiao stood the stretcher up in the corner. “If my brother’s legs really hurt, Xiaolizhi and I will carry him with this.”

"Zixiao, you've got something wrong."

"...Is it because we don't have enough supplies? Actually, there is a wheelchair downstairs. I think...we should bring it along too?"

Yu Zhe sighed, rubbing his forehead: "No, you've got it wrong. I'm just going for a run, not going to war."

“Eh…” Zixiao put down the bag, her expression somewhat puzzled. “But the problem is… a few years ago, brother, do you remember that time when we went camping? Sister Xinye actually brought a fire extinguisher. I thought it was ridiculous at first, but we actually used it that time. It was a big wake-up call for me. It’s really true that it’s better to be prepared!”

"She made a mistake and put out the campfire I was using to roast meat!"

"So you learned this from Sister Ye!"

"Return it, return it. I'll go return this stretcher. Also, I can see that you shouldn't even think about using the wheelchair anymore!"

7. Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony of the sports meet arrived as scheduled.

As the most famous school sports meet in the city and even the wider area, every time Fenghai No.1 Middle School holds a large-scale event, it can be described as a grand occasion.

Therefore, not only teachers and students from schools, but also many parents and members of the community can go to the stands to watch the game.

Fortunately, there were enough seats in the audience, and the gathering of people from all walks of life reflected the great attention this event received.

Qi Xinye arrived at school early to wait for Yu Zhe.

So when Yu Zhe appeared with Zi Xiao, she happily went to greet them, though she was met with Zi Xiao's somewhat unhappy gaze.

The three of them are now sitting together, waiting for the opening ceremony to officially begin.

Wow... there are so many people! Is this school really that big?

Yu Zhe looked back and saw an endless audience, a bustling crowd, a lively atmosphere, and floating balloons—it was a sports meet that no school could possibly have.

Sitting to his left, Zixiao said helplessly, "Brother, you need to be more self-aware... You were the one who invested in building this school."

Qi Xinye sat to Yu Zhe's right and glanced at the crowd behind her: "There are definitely a lot of people. The enrollment scale is large, there are many teachers and students, and most importantly, there are many children from famous families in Fenghai No.1 Middle School. So in a sense, this kind of occasion is also a good opportunity to do business."

Upon closer inspection, Yu Zhe agreed with Qi Xinye's view. There were quite a few people in suits on the edge, holding folders and file bags, talking seriously about business.

That's true. Where there are many big shots, there are many opportunities.

Yu Zhe was looking around, trying to find someone from his class. Xiao Meng said they would meet in the area below in half an hour.

Yu Zhe suddenly looked away because he sensed that Zi Xiao from his left had suddenly moved closer.

She stood next to Yu Zhe and said somewhat dissatisfyingly to Qi Xinye on his right, "Sister Xinye, could you move a little, ah, I mean a little, to the right? You're too close to your brother, it's too crowded."

Zixiao saw it... Qi Xinye was trying her best to get closer to Yuzhe, and now her shameless chest was almost pressed against her brother's arm!

Yu Zhe nudged Zi Xiao's head to the left: "Zi Xiao... if we're talking about proximity, you're closer, okay?"

"Brother, don't speak yet!"

Qi Xinye merely moved her head slightly away as a gesture: "Haha... Zixiao, you're still so jealous... Oh right, Xiaozhe, where's Yuche? Didn't she come?"

I chose to change the subject, otherwise Zixiao would get anxious later.

"Yu Che... um, I didn't tell her about the sports meet."

"You didn't tell her?" Qi Xinye was a little surprised. "But she'll find out after the sports meet, and knowing her personality, she'll probably be angry when she finds out you didn't tell her..."

She's more than just angry; she's so angry she'd be pounding Yu Zhe's chest and crying.

Yu Zhe touched his chin helplessly: "There's nothing I can do... You two are easy to talk to, but Yu Che is different. If I tell her, she won't let me go up and run."

Zixiao, who was leaning close to Yuzhe's left arm, nodded: "Yeah, that's right. It was right that you didn't tell her. If she had come, she would definitely have taken my seat."

Where did you get such a jealous person from?!

Suddenly, the main sound system in the venue emitted a buzzing sound, and all the background music stopped abruptly.
