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

No way... I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.

So at that moment, Zixiao silently made a decision in her heart.

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

In the past, after dinner, Yu Zhe would help Zi Xiao with her homework, then watch TV for a while before taking a shower and going to bed.

Hmm... I usually let Zixiao shower first, because I go to bed late and can shower anytime. If I shower too early, I always have the illusion that I haven't showered before going to bed.

But today was different. Although Yuzhe slept all afternoon, he still felt very tired.

I didn't do anything special, I just went to school.

But Yu Zhe himself knew that it was probably because of Qi Xinye's matter; he had really thought a lot about Sister Ye's situation.

I also basically have a solution in mind for this matter.

With just one condition remaining, everything will get back on track.

So after watching TV for a while today, he went to the bathroom right after Zixiao finished showering. He decided to go to bed early tonight and explain Sister Ye's situation to her tomorrow.

Taking a quick shower is usually enough, so Yu Zhe returned to his room.

For some reason, he never took any special care of his silver hair. He would even just apply shampoo when he took a shower and rinse it off after a short while. He didn't even bother to tie up his long hair. His washing method was quite rough.

Zixiao told Yuzhe several times that he should cherish his hair, or she would wash it for him.

Yu Zhe naturally refused.

But his hair was still so healthy that even Zixiao was envious.

Lying in bed, Yu Zhe slowly planned what he should say when he saw Yu Che and then Sister Ye the next day.

But not long after, he heard light footsteps coming from the corridor outside, heading towards his room.

Huh? Yu Zhe glanced at his phone subconsciously; it was 11 p.m.

Although it was still early for her, Zixiao, who has a very regular sleep schedule, would usually be asleep by now.

Is something the matter?

As Yu Zhe sat up, a series of rhythmic knocks came from the room.

Then Zixiao's cute and soft voice rang out.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"No, no need to knock, the door isn't locked, Zixiao, come in."

Upon hearing this, Zixiao gently pushed open the door, peeking out her cute little head.

"Okay, then... sorry to bother you."

"Alright, Zixiao, there's no need for all that caution. You're always like this, and now I'm even starting to wonder if you're afraid of me."

Looking at Zixiao's cute little head, Yuzhe had a mischievous idea.

Upon hearing this, Zixiao became careless and quickly stepped into the room, closing the door behind her.

"No...no! Why would I be afraid of my brother? I just feel I can't be too reckless..."

After Zixiao entered the room, Yuzhe finally saw her in full. Her small, white feet and legs, all the way up to her pajamas and shorts, were like works of art. She stood awkwardly at the door, still wearing her cute pink pajamas, but this time she was holding a large, soft pink pillow in her arms. Zixiao's face was buried in the pillow as she secretly glanced at Yuzhe.

Yu Zhe looked at her cuteness

He suddenly felt playful.

"Zixiao, do you know where you are inferior to Yuche? Of course, it's definitely not about appearance or intelligence."

Upon hearing the name Yu Che, Zi Xiao immediately became extremely vigilant.

Then he voiced his doubts: "I...I'm inferior to her in many ways...I don't know what you mean, brother?"

"Sigh!" Yu Zhe feigned regret. "Let me put it another way. If it were Yu Che, what do you think she would do after I let her into my room?"

Zixiao knew this because she had seen it countless times... As soon as Yuche entered her brother's room, she didn't say anything, but immediately jumped onto the bed, hugged Yuzhefei, and pulled him to sleep together.

However, Zixiao always felt that this was childish and that such recklessness would make her brother dislike her.

Wait... that's not right. My brother has never seemed to dislike Yu Che's behavior.

So...should I...?

Hmm... Forget it, I guess I just can't do it.

This is so embarrassing! No matter what, you should get your brother's permission before doing this, otherwise he'll definitely hate you! How did Yu Che manage to do that?!

"This... Brother, I... I can't do what Yu Che did."

Feeling like she had lost to Yu Che once again, Zi Xiao felt incredibly upset.

Seeing her aggrieved and troubled expression, Yu Zhe felt satisfied.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. If you really act like her, I'll be the one in trouble. Yu Che alone is enough to make my life difficult."

Seeing Zixiao's gradually relieved expression, Yuzhe continued, "What's wrong with you today? Why didn't you sleep properly and came to my room? Even if school is closed tomorrow, I can't stay up this late playing games with you."

"I don't want to play games at all," Zixiao said reproachfully, glancing at Yuzhe.

"I'm wondering... if I can... sleep with my brother tonight..."

The voice grew softer and softer until Bian Yuzhe could barely make out what she was saying, though he could barely make out the gist of it.

That's not important. The key point is Zixiao's ruby-like eyes, which are now sparkling with a shy light, making Yuzhe's heart flutter.

Cough, calm down!

The doubt in Yu Zhe's mind vanished in an instant, and he quickly adjusted his state.

I'm not going to joke with Zixiao anymore; it seems she has something on her mind today.

Actually, it wasn't just Zixiao who seemed preoccupied with Yuzhe; Yuzhe felt the same way about Zixiao.

"Okay, let's sleep together after all this time? The last time you came to see me like this was when you were around ten years old... How should I put it, it feels so new. I'm so happy to finally feel like a little kid again!"

"Brother, you're so naughty..."

Hearing Yu Zhe's obvious joke, Zi Xiao blushed as red as an apple.

But my brother... he's agreed, hasn't he?

So she went over and placed the pillows next to Yu Zhe's pillow, one blue and one pink, they were so pretty.

hey-hey...

Then Yu Zhe got up, turned on the nightlight, and turned off the bedroom light.

He returned and lay down beside Zixiao, who had already lain down. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

Looking at Zixiao, who was on the inside of the bed, her face slightly flushed, covered by the corner of the blanket.

Yu Zhe asked, "Where's the blanket? This is the only blanket I have."

"If...if you don't mind, let's use this blanket together, it'll be enough for both of us anyway."

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, Yu Zhe grabbed a corner of the blanket and crawled into the bed where Zi Xiao was also.

It should be said that Yu Zhe never hesitates when dealing with people he likes; he does exactly what he wants.

However, he discovered that Zixiao had already used his blue pillow, so he had to use Zixiao's big pink pillow instead.

It's soft and comfortable, and it even smells like Zixiao.

I'm right next to you!

So Yu Zhe changed to a side-lying position, looked at Zi Xiao, and found that Zi Xiao was also looking at him.

Since Yu Zhe was also covered by a blanket, Zi Xiao could no longer cover her face with the blanket, so the blush on her face was very obvious. Fortunately, under the dim light of the night light, Yu Zhe did not notice the blush.

She also didn't see the sudden overflow of dazedness and a faint tenderness in Zixiao's eyes as she looked at her lying on her pillow.

The bed wasn't big, so even though they tried their best to give each other more space, their legs would still touch from time to time. At first, they would pull back as if they were being electrocuted, but then they didn't want to move anymore, since it didn't matter if their legs touched each other.

After a long while, Yu Zhe noticed that Zi Xiao was still glancing at him from time to time, looking hesitant.

So he spoke first: "Zixiao, you go ahead and ask me something."

The sudden sound that broke the silence gave Zixiao a lifeline, and she immediately and happily replied, "Yes! Brother, is something bothering you?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask that?"

Yu Zhe was a little surprised. He had controlled his expression quite well, so how could Zi Xiao see through it?

Because their faces were directly facing each other and very close, their warm breaths tickled each other's faces as they spoke.

"I don't know why, I just feel like my brother is hiding something from me."

"..." Yu Zhe suddenly admired Zi Xiao's observation skills. Anyway, Sister Ye would be coming over sooner or later tomorrow, so he decided to tell Zi Xiao about it first.

"Yes, there is indeed something."

Can you tell me about it?

"Do you still remember Sister Ye? She's Qi Xinye from the Qi family."

Upon hearing this name, Zixiao was slightly surprised: "Sister Ye? She hasn't contacted us for many years, has she?"

“Yes.” Yu Zhe continued, “She came to see me when you were at school today. It seems she’s still bothered by what happened five years ago, so I’ve been thinking about this.”

Seeing that Zixiao suddenly fell silent, Yuzhe continued to ask, "Zixiao, what do you think? Do you still feel unable to accept Sister Ye?"

Hearing Yu Zhe's words, Zi Xiao shook her little head slightly as she lay on the pillow: "No, I think that matter had little to do with her in terms of reason and emotion, and it shouldn't have come to this. But it was indeed her own fault for not insisting on contacting us and not resolving the matter, so both sides are at fault."

Yu Zhe affectionately reached out from under the covers and patted Zi Xiao's head: "You're right, that's a very rational understanding. So it will take some time to resolve this matter."

Zixiao, like a happy kitten, moved a little closer to Yuzhe.

Their legs are practically wrapped around me!

"So when will she come again? Has your brother made an appointment with her?"

"Tomorrow, Yu Che will be here too, so we can have a proper talk about this."

Zixiao immediately understood: "Yuche is the most troublesome one in this matter."

"That's right... Let's not talk about that for now. What about you?"
