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

The room was of average size. Actually, Xiao Lizhi's room in the mansion was over 100 square meters, but she always felt uncomfortable, so she chose this much smaller room.

Like other girls, the first thing she does when she gets home is take a bath. The Ouyang family has a private hot spring, or rather, a hot spring exclusively for Xiao Lizhi. She loves that place and always feels very comfortable taking a bath there.

But I'm in a rush today! So I won't go to the hot springs; I'll just take a quick shower in the bathroom.

I returned to my room wrapped in a bath towel.

However, deciding what clothes to wear next gave her a headache.

She had never considered this kind of question. Her clothes were always bought by her mother, and she would basically just pick up whatever was available and wear it.

But since I'm going to see Brother Yuzhe later, I feel like I should dress up nicely...

Lay out a bunch of different pleated skirts and casual clothes on the bed.

Oh my... I didn't realize I had so many clothes.

She picked it up and put it down again, but after a long time, she still hadn't gotten to the point. So she stood in front of the mirror and started fiddling with her hair again.

Yu Zhe's brother seems to have said that her hair looks good...

I'm wondering if it looks better to just let it hang down like this, or to tie it into a little ponytail on the side? Would that look too childish?

I spent ages trying to come up with a good idea, and more than half an hour had already passed.

"Little Lychee, you can do it... Think quickly, what shape would suit you best..."

I'm sitting in this chair, racking my brains, my head is about to explode! Why do I want it to look better this way?!

Helpless, she glanced at the camera on the table, the one she had used to photograph the sports meet that day.

I haven't even looked at it yet after filming; let me change my mood first before thinking about it.

I opened the camera's storage interface and captured Xiao Lizhi's happy day, from the student council's activities in the early morning to the school gate at dusk.

She flipped through the photos with great interest, but her fingers stopped when she came to one particular one.

That's a photo of Yu Zhe holding his medal and smiling at the camera.

This photo was taken by Xiaolizhi after Yuzhe won the championship.

Now, Xiao Lizhi's gaze lingers on this photo for a long time.

Even her eyes seemed to drift into a daze.

"Brother Yuzhe... is smiling at me..."

As their faces drew closer, my heart raced faster, as if it weren't a photograph, but Yu Zhe himself.

Finally, her lips gently touched the camera screen.

It took a while before he stuck his head back in.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Ugh... I feel like I'm acting really weird."

"Oh my... Lizhi, you've really grown up! Mommy is so proud of you!"

An unexpected sound suddenly came from the doorway.

"mom!"

Little Lychee threw the camera on the table and suddenly turned her head.

Elisa stood there, half-covering her mouth and smiling meaningfully.

Little Lychee hurriedly stood up and waved her hands, "No! Mom! It's not what you see, I just... I just... Ah, I don't know what I was doing! Wait, Mom, why didn't you knock before entering my room!"

"Knock on the head my foot."

Little Lychee instinctively protected her head.

With a helpless sigh, Elisa laughed and said, "I didn't mean to hit you on the head this time. I mean, you left the door open and came in to find me lurking around like that. Is it my fault?"

Ah! I forgot to close the door when I came back!

Little Lychee was careless!

Elisa walked over and, taking advantage of Little Lychee's inattention, picked up the camera that was still lit up on the table.

"Ah! Mom! Don't look!"

But Elisa had already seen it.

"Hey... it really is Xiao Yuzhe! Not bad, Lizhi. Xiao Lan told me earlier that you've grown up, but I didn't know what that meant. Now it seems that you've not only grown up, but you've also become more perceptive!"

"Mom...Mom, it's really not what you think..."

This shy demeanor of Little Lychee was something even Elisa, who had watched her grow up, had never seen before.

So she didn't intend to say much and chose to speak her mind directly.

"Lizhi, let me ask you, you like Xiaoyuzhe, right?"

After a long pause, Xiao Lizhi lowered her head deeply, trying her best to hide her eyes under her drooping hair.

Then he nodded.

Elisa smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. Although I really wanted to match you two up, I wouldn't have forced you if you weren't willing. But now that you like Xiaoyuzhe, things are simple."

Hearing her mother's support, Xiao Lizhi was very moved and looked up at her with teary eyes.

"Oh, silly girl, you should do everything you can to pursue what you want; that's the path to happiness."

Then he looked at the pile of clothes on the bed.

Elisa understood immediately and gently patted Little Lychee's head: "I'll help you choose."

"Um... thank you, Mom."

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

Yu Zhe, who was preparing dinner in the apartment, was extremely busy.

Looking at the menu that Xiaolizhi had sent him for dinner, he knew he had to go downstairs to buy ingredients.

"Hairy crabs?!"

16. Helicopter delivery of takeout

"Where am I supposed to get you some hairy crabs... it's so late at night."

As Yu Zhe walked out of the supermarket downstairs, he was in a dilemma.

The supermarket did have crabs, but they were either dead or very small.

The crab was nothing like the hairy crab that Yu Zhe remembered.

As I walked home, lost in thought, Zixiao and Qi Xinye were still in the kitchen helping to prepare the ingredients.

Seeing that Yu Zhe returned empty-handed, Zi Xiao felt it was within her expectations.

"Brother, it's okay if we can't buy them. There aren't any hairy crabs for sale around here. Little Lychee never talks about anything practical, so don't take it seriously."

After peeling the potatoes, Qi Xinye washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen: "Actually, there are several very large crabs in the pond in the Qi family's garden. If I had known this earlier, I would have brought them over. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time now."

You should leave your crabs alone. They're being raised perfectly well, and you just have to eat them.

But...time?

"Sister Ye, you reminded me. I'll go out again and bring the crabs over in a bit. You guys get the pot ready first."

"Xiao Zhe, are you going to the pond to catch crabs?"

"Don't go!"

The crabs in the pond were terrified!

After putting on his coat and going out again, Yu Zhe remembered something Yu Che had said.

We should make good use of the resources we can.

I dialed a phone number I hadn't called in a long time.

That was my father's phone call.

Yu Zhe suddenly remembered that the restaurant his father had taken him to last time had large hairy crabs on every table, which meant that they definitely had them; what they lacked was a way to transport them.

"Hey, Father, do you know any way you can get some live hairy crabs?"

"Then, can you deliver it within thirty minutes? Barely? That won't do. It's not easy to ask you for a favor, so please contact me again later."

Great, Dad's just a tool, he can't get anything out of him.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhe knew that the hairy crabs were secured.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, Yu Zhe's phone rang again.

However, it wasn't her father calling, but another contact in her phone: her father's bodyguard, Sister Lin Yin.

Once the call connected, that decisive and efficient voice rang out from the other end.

"Little Yuzhe! Your things are ready! Look around your apartment, there's a blue high-rise building about 200 meters to the east. It has a helipad on the top floor. Go there in half an hour and wait for me! I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sister Lin."

"Your sister will be here soon..." Yu Zhe has always wanted to complain that your real age is even older than my mother's.

Sister Lin must be over forty years old this year.

But calling her "auntie" when she looks so young does feel a bit awkward.

Looking east, there is indeed a tall blue building across the street; that must be it.

You wouldn't normally notice that there's a helipad up here; that's so convenient.

First, I bought a cup of coffee milk from the ice cream shop downstairs and sat at a table on the edge to play games for a while.

It's 6:30 pm now, and Xiao Lizhi should arrive around 7 pm. I should be able to prepare dinner in an hour, no problem.

When it was almost seven o'clock, Yu Zhe took the elevator to the top floor of the building.

The wind was very strong on the top floor, and I could definitely feel it; the temperature dropped several degrees.

Yu Zhe tightened his clothes and stared straight ahead.

There is indeed a helipad here, and it's quite large, but it seems to have been unused for a while, as there are some weeds growing around it.
