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

I'm not reconciled...

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally burst forth like a dam breaking, completely out of control.

The girl cried, cried her heart out.

"Aaaaaah! Why?! Time and time again! Why is it always me?! When will this end?! When will this ever stop?!!"

The words that had been bottled up inside me for so long finally burst forth like thunder on this rainy day.

However, only she herself could hear this lament against fate.

It is said that if a person lives in the same environment for a long time, they can adapt.

But Qin Ruoke this

My child, you were fortunate enough to have a relatively wealthy childhood.

The sudden changes in the past caught her off guard, but she persevered through them with her willpower and still wanted to do her best to save her family.

This time, she felt that she might not be able to hold on.

She really was tired.

She took out her phone and looked at the photos of Su Yuzhe that she had secretly taken during the sports meet.

As she gently stroked his finger, Qin Ruoke's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She probably doesn't even realize it herself.

The name she kept calling out came from the depths of her heart.

"Su Yuzhe... Yuzhe... Yuzhe..."

"Ah...so that's what I was..."

I like you…

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

On Su Yuzhe's side.

He's been restless ever since he got back to his apartment from school.

He looked out the window at the continuous drizzle and the occasional rumble of thunder.

My mind is in turmoil.

I haven't felt this way in a long time; it's a kind of unfounded worry.

Before I knew it, I had been standing by the window for quite some time.

During this process, Zixiao and Yuche watched him from the sofa for a long time, but neither of them wanted to go up and disturb him.

This is a tacit understanding that has naturally developed over a long period of time.

So this time, it was Yu Zhe who spoke first.

He turned around, lost in thought.

"Zixiao, I have a question for you. Do you think we are actually very happy, but we just haven't realized it?"

Zixiao sighed inwardly, then stood up and walked to Yuzhe.

She gently tidied his hair with her hand: "Brother, are you worried about Senior Qin Ruoke?"

"Sigh... Can you tell? Although I want to believe her, she's really fragile, not at all like what we imagine."

"I understand." Zixiao gently hugged him. "Everyone has their own happiness, maybe they just haven't discovered it yet."

Yes, everyone has a strongest pillar in their heart. If you find it, then it exists; if you don't find it, then it may not exist.

Thinking about this, Yu Che also came over.

She first pulled Zixiao aside, then hugged her herself: "Zixiao is right. Just like me, all my happiness comes from my brother. As long as my brother is by my side, I feel happy every day."

"Yeah…"

"Me too."

Yu Zhe hugged her back, his emotional turmoil noticeably subsiding.

No matter how the wind and rain rage outside the window, there's always someone by your side—isn't that happiness?

I only hope that Qin Ruoke, who is all alone right now, can get through this ordeal. If she does, tomorrow will be sunny and clear. If she doesn't, she will be lost in this darkness.

"Qin Ruoke is a good girl, I just hope she can be braver."

The voice was ethereal and gentle, as if it wanted to penetrate the darkness and reach Qin Ruoke's ears.

Against the backdrop of the rainy night outside the window, Yu Zhe's silver hair swayed, captivating the heart and soul.

Both Zixiao and Yuche felt a sudden realization.

Then Yu Che said helplessly, "Brother... do you know... you're becoming more and more of a 'disaster to the country and the people'."

"what?"

Zixiao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, brother is sometimes a womanizer, it's really not your fault, but brother should still try to control himself, right..."

"Which one matches which one..."

Yu Zhe was, of course, unaware of how damaging his slightly worried expression was to Zi Xiao and Yu Che.

This concern is specifically for Qin Ruoke.

You are a strong and kind child. I really hope you can get through this.

because.

I promise you, this is the last time you will suffer.

33. Wake up

The rain hasn't stopped; in fact, it's getting heavier, and there's a hint that the drizzle is turning into a downpour.

You can tell from the sound of raindrops hitting the window.

Even now, close to 10 p.m., Yu Zhe still feels uneasy.

Especially the message he just sent to Qin Ruoke: "Are you okay?"

The other party did not reply, which made him even more worried.

Although the initial intention was to use this opportunity to improve Qin Ruoke's character and help her become truly strong, rather than just pretending to be strong.

But now, Yu Zhe feels more and more that this is unnecessary.

He was too gentle, and when things came to a head, he was more worried about what would happen if Qin Ruoke really couldn't handle it and something went wrong.

If you're not mentally strong, what's the point?

Su Yuzhe couldn't sit still any longer. He took an umbrella from the closet in his bedroom, put on a thick coat, and went to the entrance to change his shoes.

Zixiao, who was washing dishes with Yuche in the kitchen, heard the commotion and peeked out, just in time to see Yuzhe about to leave.

"Brother, it's so late, and it's raining heavily outside. Where are you going?"

Yu Zhe tapped the tip of the umbrella on the ground and zipped up his thick coat. "I'm going to check on Qin Ruoke. I'm a little worried. It's okay, you can go to sleep. Oh, and tell Yu Che to go to sleep early too. I might be back a little late."

In the end, my brother did soften his heart.

Zixiao's expression was somewhat complicated, yet also somewhat expected.

Before she could speak, Yu Che quickly jumped out and said, "Brother! Where are you going? I'll go with you."

"No need. Kids should go to bed early. They're already this short. If they don't go to bed early, do you want to stay this tall forever?"

"Hmm... what little kid... my brother is only a dozen minutes older than me."

"Then you're a child too."

Although Yu Zhe said that, it doesn't mean Zi Xiao can rest assured.

For her, Yu Zhe's safety was absolutely the most important thing.

Zixiao unconsciously used

A hand tugged at Yu Zhe's sleeve: "It's raining so hard outside. Even if you want to go, let Yu Che call a car. It's dark and the roads are slippery. It's too dangerous."

Yu Zhe felt a warmth in his heart, and the almost overflowing worry in Zi Xiao's eyes was absolutely touching.

However... we're still in a bit of a rush right now.

He gently pushed Zixiao's hand away and opened the door with his other hand.

The sound of wind and rain suddenly became clear.

"No need. Qin Ruoke's house isn't far from here. Taking a car is actually slower than walking. Also, you two shouldn't follow me. I'll get angry if you do. You're not allowed to stay up late tomorrow, even though it's a holiday. Go to sleep now."

Yes, Yu Zhe has always been very strict with his two younger sisters since they were little.

After saying that, he opened his umbrella, went out, and closed the door with one arm.

Zixiao and Yuche were left in the room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zixiao was really conflicted: "What should we do? The wind is howling, and my brother won't let us come along. What should we do, Yuche!"

Compared to her, Yu Che remained as calm as ever: "Look at you, so pathetic. You won't follow just because your brother says you can't? Go, prepare your umbrella and raincoat, and come with me on this expedition."

Of course I have to listen to my brother, but the weather is terrible, so there's nothing I can do.

Zixiao hurriedly grabbed an umbrella and two raincoats: "Um... the problem is... we don't seem to know where Senior Qin Ruoke lives, right? How are we supposed to follow her?"

"Look at you, you're neither steady nor far-sighted, you're a disgrace."

"What?! You're talking about me like that? Then what can you do about it?"

Yu Che laughed: "What a coincidence, I really do have a way. Just now when my brother left, I accidentally slipped my hand and put a locator in his pocket. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Shocked, Zixiao nodded quickly, understanding the implication, and handed Yuche an umbrella: "Great, let's go now."

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

Following his memory, Yu Zhe took the same path he had taken when he last visited Qin Ruoke's house.

You know what, the rain was really heavy. Even with just an umbrella, some tiny water droplets still splashed onto my face.

However, Yu Zhe didn't care about any of that. He was a tough guy, and he could just throw away the umbrella!
