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

Yu Zhe pointed to the wine glass, essentially giving her a little lesson: "Listen, Yu Che, you can't be as clueless as me. This, even if it's not exactly high-end, is definitely above average, understand?"

Yu Che nodded: "Okay, if that's what my brother says, then it is."

In reality, this wine is indeed quite high-end.

Yu Zhe was just maintaining his authority as the older brother and was saying it reluctantly, because that would make him seem like he had common sense!

While the two of them were having their science lesson, Zi Xiaochao sighed and put her hand to her forehead. They were truly two unfortunate souls, both severely lacking in common sense.

She was too lazy to explain anymore, and silently picked up her wine glass. In any case, money wasn't important to her brother and Yu Che.

The only one who hesitated, staring at the wine glass in front of him and still didn't dare to pick it up, was Qi Xinye.

She pushed her glass slightly towards the center, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry... I guess I won't drink it. I really can't handle alcohol, otherwise it would just cause trouble..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like there is such a thing.

Last time, Sister Ye had a drink at the apartment and then got drunk, saying a lot of her innermost thoughts. And this time, the glass was filled with just as much wine as last time.

Yu Zhe wasn't one to pressure people to drink, so he simply reached out and took Qi Xinye's glass from his own: "No need to force yourself. Drinking is just a formality. And don't try to substitute tea for alcohol. Sister Ye, how about you have a glass of orange juice?"

He took another cup, filled it with the orange juice he hadn't finished during dinner, and pushed it in front of Qi Xinye.

Qi Xinye quickly took the cup: "Thank you, Xiao Zhe...you've been a great help."

Thank goodness, if he had gotten even more drunk, he might have made a fool of himself.

Seeing that everyone had picked up their glasses, Yu Zhe stood up, handed his glass forward, and his happy mood was evident: "I did something big today. I not only avenged my car accident a few years ago, but I also helped Sister Ye to reorganize the Qi family. To be honest, I am really happy."

"Well, I won't say much more to you guys. Anyway, it just doesn't feel right not to have a drink in this situation, so... cheers?"

"""cheers!"""

The three of them didn't say much, but simply clinked glasses with Yu Zhe and then drank their drinks in one gulp.

Although this is not how red wine is supposed to be drunk at all, it's just that most of the people present had never drunk alcohol before.

They saw Yu Zhe drink it all in one gulp, so naturally they had to follow suit. As long as Yu Zhe was happy, they were happy too.

"Cough cough..."

Yu Che, who had never drunk alcohol before, coughed a few times and said, "Cough... Ugh~ What is this? This is supposed to be high-end? It tastes terrible. It's nowhere near as good as orange juice. I'll stick to orange juice from now on."

As soon as she coughed, Yu Zhe quickly went over and patted her back. Seeing that she had caught her breath, Yu Zhe said apologetically, "I'm sorry... let's not drink anymore. I was just too happy today... I'm really sorry, I got carried away."

While at the apartment, Zixiao could occasionally have a drink with Yuzhe, so she had nothing to do.

But Yu Che is different... Just now, Yu Zhe didn't expect her to gulp it down in one go. Now he feels terrible for her. It was really rash. He must reflect on it.

Yu Che swept her silver hair behind her back and hugged Yu Zhe's arm tightly: "Hehe, what's this! If brother is happy, I'm happy too. It's just a drink!"

Ah... Yu Zhe sometimes thinks that Yu Che is incredibly cute.

From Zixiao's perspective, however, this scene is not the same.

It's true that Yu Che choked at the beginning.

But she only stopped coughing just now. Before she stopped coughing, her brother had been gently patting her back with concern.

This...it looks like it was done on purpose, is it just my imagination...?

Qi Xinye was glad she had only drunk water; otherwise, she wouldn't have just coughed a few times, she would probably be rolling on the ground by now.

After finishing this glass of wine, Yu Zhe felt that everything that had happened today had finally come to an end.

It was already past midnight. At this time, he would generally not be sleepy, but his sisters should have been asleep long ago, including Sister Ye.

So he stood up, ready to say goodnight and let them all go to sleep.

But just as he regained his footing, he felt a sense of disorientation.

He wasn't feeling unwell, but he was a little disoriented and dizzy. He knew what that feeling was like—a feeling of having drunk a bit too much, but not to the point of being drunk.

But I only drank one glass of red wine... Even if Yu Zhe knows that his alcohol tolerance is really low, it shouldn't be this bad.

Noticing the dazed look in Yu Zhe's eyes, Zi Xiao was initially worried, but then immediately realized what was happening and turned to Yu Che beside her, quietly asking, "What did you put in your brother's drink?!"

Qi Xinye was someone who had taken care of Yu Zhe in the past.

Yu Che didn't hide anything and confidently said, "I didn't put anything in it, it's just wine. However, I added more than half white wine to your glass of red wine, brother."

As she spoke, she took out a small bottle of liquor labeled as having an alcohol content of over 40 degrees from behind her back.

"What are you planning now?"

Zixiao felt a little confused. Back when they lived in the villa, the one who was strictest in forbidding her brother from drinking was not Zixiao, but Yuche. Why was he mixing white wine into red wine today?

Yu Zhe wasn't dizzy at all. He swayed unsteadily, not angry at all, and even gave Yu Che a thumbs up: "Smart... smart, Yu Che, you even have this trick up your sleeve. No wonder that wine tasted off... I thought all high-end products were like this..."

"Of course, brother, but... even though I asked the maid about the exact amount of liquor to add,... don't you feel uncomfortable, do you..."

Yu Zhe was only feeling the aftereffects of the liquor gradually taking hold. He laughed and said, "It's alright, it's just right."

This round of baffling conversation left Zixiao and Qi Xinye completely stunned.

Regardless, Zixiao forbade her brother from drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), so she said to Yuche somewhat angrily, "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

Although Qi Xinye kept supporting Yu Zhe and asking about his condition, her gaze towards Yu Che also indicated that she wanted to hear about her purpose.

Since you asked, I'll answer.

Yu Che sighed softly: "Sigh, big-breasted girls are one thing, but Zi Xiao, you've been with your brother for so long, and you still don't understand him at all."

Ignoring Zixiao's even more puzzled expression, Yuche continued, "Whenever my brother completes something important, he enters a state of excitement, and in this state, he usually can't sleep all night. Every morning when he wakes up, I see his dark circles."

"So, drinking baijiu directly is definitely out of the question, and I wouldn't agree to that either. However, if it's possible to mix red wine with baijiu, and then dilute it with some water to achieve a state that helps with sleep without causing discomfort, our Su family's maids can certainly do that!"

Looking at Zixiao and Qi Xinye, who were standing there blankly.

Yu Che waved his hand to shoo them away: "Alright, alright, stop reminiscing. The two rooms next door are all ready, you can go and stay there. My brother and I are going to sleep now, goodnight."

At this moment, Yu Che was exceptionally confident.

Seeing the stunned expressions on Zixiao's and the busty woman's faces, she knew just how smoothly things were going for her.

Kill crazy!

At this moment, Yu Che stands here, looking like a god of war!

7. Open the door!

Zixiao and Qi Xinye were practically pushed out the door by Yu Che. They looked at each other as the door slammed shut with a bang.

Good grief, they didn't even give me a chance to speak up or argue.

But how could we let you be so arrogant?

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

The room fell silent instantly when two people were gone.

Yu Zhe felt increasingly sleepy and dizzy. He knew he would sleep well tonight, thanks to Yu Che's quick thinking.

Just as Yu Che said, he was very excited just now, and if it weren't for that glass of wine, he might have had insomnia.

Yu Che, who had locked the two of them out of the door and then locked it, rushed over to help Yu Zhe.

She helped Yu Zhe towards the bed with concern: "I'm sorry, brother... Are you really not feeling unwell... After all, I did add some liquor. You should lie down on the bed first, and I'll get you a glass of water."

"It's alright, it's alright. Even if I downed a whole glass of pure baijiu, I wouldn't pass out!"

"Haha... Brother is being stubborn again, but you don't have to do this to your little sister. If it weren't to help you fall asleep, I would never allow you to drink baijiu."

Yu Zhe patted her head: "Okay, okay, don't push yourself. But you're really fine. That drink was just right."

With Yu Che's help, Yu Zhe sat down on the edge of the bed and laughed, "But you really are willing to dilute tens of thousands of yuan worth of wine with water. That's too extravagant."

Yu Che shrugged nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? Everything I own belongs to my brother. What's a few coins?"

"What do you mean by 'everything you have is mine'... Just live your own life, okay? Oh well, it's no use talking to you about this. Time to sleep. I need to cherish this hard-won drowsiness."

Having already changed into his pajamas, Yu Zhe rolled onto the bed, closed his eyes for a while, and then felt a subtle sense of unease.

He opened his eyes and saw that Yu Che had just poured him a glass of water and then sat down on the edge of the bed, seemingly not planning to leave.

Yu Zhe seemed to give up, and sighed, "Hey, you're not going to sleep with me again, are you?"

"Hmm?" Yu Che was puzzled. "What are you talking about, brother? Isn't this just common sense?"

"What do you mean by taking it for granted..." Yu Zhe said, but still moved a little further into the bed to make room for Yu Che. "Even though I've said it many times, I still have to say it: you're so grown up now, you can't always cling to me, it's not good..."

However, Yu Che just smiled happily: "Hmph, I can do anything else, but I won't listen to you on this matter. No matter how old I get, I'll stick to you."

As time went by, even though Yu Che represented the Su family outside and was already invincible, known as the new generation of business empress, she was just like a child when she was with Yu Zhe, carefree and showing her most authentic self.

Yu Zhe was a little surprised that Yu Che wasn't clinging to him and unable to live her own life; on the contrary, this was her true self.

"So, brother, please don't... brother?"

Since the beginning of this sentence, Yu Che has not heard Yu Zhe's reply.

She sat on the edge of the bed and turned her head.

I discovered that Yu Zhe had already fallen asleep.

With one hand resting on her chest, her breathing rose and fell rhythmically, and she appeared to be sleeping soundly.

Alright, it seems that glass of wine really worked.

Yu Che smiled helplessly, knelt on the bed, and pulled the blanket over him from the other side of the bed. Even though the floor heating was very warm here, there was still a chance of him getting cold if he wasn't properly covered.

Then Yu Che rested her head on the part of the pillow that Yu Zhe had given up earlier.

The two lay facing each other.

In the past, when Yu Che and Yu Zhe slept together, Yu Zhe always went to bed later, and before going to sleep, he would turn his head to the other side, with his back to Yu Che.

This time, he went to bed early.

In other words, Yu Che was able to properly appreciate her brother's sleeping face.

The villa has good facilities; instead of nightlights, the rooms use rather luxurious bedside lamps.

Bathed in the soft light of the bedside lamp, Yu Zhe's handsome, almost otherworldly face seemed to possess an ethereal quality.

Yu Che felt that even though she and her brother looked very similar, they were sometimes completely different. Yu Che was lively and cute, but Yu Zhe's beauty and handsomeness complemented each other, and his natural temperament could not be concealed.

And because of that glass of wine, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her long silver hair covered one of her slightly closed eyes.
