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

His words revealed the real reason for his anger: "You little brat... didn't I tell you that if you're coming with me, you should wear something warmer? What's with that trench coat of yours? Do you really think you're a detective? Your hands are so cold too, what if you catch a cold?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, brother, I won't do it again next time."

"There will be a next time?!"

You've started stalking me all the time?!

Zixiao has always paid close attention to Yuzhe's health and has made strict plans in all aspects because Yuzhe doesn't care much about his health.

But he treated Zixiao with 200% care.

Feeling the warmth from Yu Zhe's hands, which were holding hers, Zi Xiao squeezed Yu Zhe's hands back and said frankly, "I was just afraid of losing you, so I grabbed a trench coat and put it on before coming here..."

Yu Zhe, however, seemed a bit mischievous: "Hmm? Afraid of losing me? What are you investigating if you're following me?"

They're definitely investigating whether the wildflowers have crossed the line! Honestly... my brother has no self-awareness at all, no... he's just being mischievous.

That's all.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yu Zhe took her hand and strolled towards home: "So, what did you find out?"

She was initially a little worried, but looking at her and her brother's hands clasped together, Zixiao suddenly felt very at ease.

Yu Che is right. No matter what, she and Yu Che will always be the most important part of her brother's heart. That's a foregone conclusion. So what is there to worry about?

Thinking of this, Zixiao leaned on Yuzhe's shoulder: "Hmm...it's nothing, anyway, brother loves me, right?"

These words, which sounded like a confession, didn't elicit any change in Yu Zhe's expression.

As if it were a matter of course, something that had been predetermined, Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Of course."

He then added, "But I'm referring to you as the older brother."

"Really...brother, you're doing this again..."

The two don't need many words to understand each other's thoughts; that's tacit understanding.

Yu Zhe was also very pleased that Zi Xiao, whom Yu Che called a jealous person, surprisingly didn't ask any more questions, which was quite rare.

However, after walking together harmoniously for a while, Zixiao tilted her head and asked, "So brother, what were you and senior Qin Ruoke talking about just now?"

"..."

Hey sis! Promise me you won't be jealous, okay?

19. Do we need to report again this time?

On the way home and even after arriving home, Yu Zhe recounted to Zi Xiao the entire conversation they had just had.

It was basically about helping Qin Ruoke resolve her inner confusion and inviting her to her birthday party.

Zixiao was actually quite happy that Qin Ruoke could attend the birthday party.

In previous years, when my brother celebrated his birthday, although there were many people from all over the country attending the birthday banquet, and the gifts could fill a room, how many of them actually came to congratulate him sincerely?

Every year after the birthday party, Yu Zhe would take Zi Xiao and Yu Che, and before that, Qi Xin Ye, to the garden behind the villa to have a real birthday party.

Light a few small candles, set out a small birthday cake, and hold hands to sing "Happy Birthday."

Although it was small in scale, that was real happiness.

Having a few people genuinely celebrating for you is far better than a lavish banquet.

So now that there's another person like Senior Qin Ruoke who genuinely celebrates for Yu Zhe, Zi Xiao thinks it's a good thing.

And so, that night...

After taking a shower, Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao went to sleep happily.

However, Qin Ruoke, who lives next door in the apartment building on the east side, is having trouble sleeping.

Firstly, having just moved, she was still getting used to such a large room. The bed was soft and the floor heating was excellent, so it wasn't cold at all. She couldn't help but wonder, "Can I really sleep here?"

On the other hand, and more importantly, she had been thinking about the birthday party, and what kind of gift she could give Yu Zhe was indeed a problem.

Before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep; it was almost 2 a.m.

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

the next morning.

Even though she went to bed late, Qin Ruoke still went to school early. Unlike Yu Zhe, who always arrived at school on time, she was not a genius. Although Yu Zhe had expanded the number of special college entrance examination admissions to three, problems might arise if she relaxed even slightly.

Of course, going to school alone was also partly because she didn't want to disturb Yu Zhe's life too much.

At this moment, Yu Zhe, who was sitting at the dining table eating bread with jam and a fried egg, saw the message from Qin Ruoke that she had already set off and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Wow, they're really diligent. It seems the decision to expand the number of special admissions slots was definitely the right one."

"Hmm? Did you say something, brother?"

Zixiao, sitting opposite, elegantly finished the bread on her plate.

"It's nothing. By the way, Zixiao." Yuzhe swallowed the rest of the bread in one gulp, took the milk Zixiao handed him, and said, "You can go to school by yourself later. I'll ask for leave."

"Huh? Taking a day off? Brother, are you not feeling well? Then I..."

"No, no." Yu Zhe downed his milk in one gulp, eating breakfast with great gusto. "I need to go check on Sister Ye. Although the Qi family's matter has been resolved, cleaning up the mess won't be easy. I'm a little worried, so I'm going to take a look."

"Oh... you're going to Sister Xinye's place."

Zixiao, who had been eating elegantly, suddenly picked up her cup and drank the milk in one gulp, just like Yuzhe.

It was so imposing, like someone who had drunk a glass of lemonade mixed with vinegar!

But arguing isn't Zixiao's style; she wants to share her brother's burdens!

The Qi family's affairs are not just Qi Xinye's affairs; they are also very important to the Su family.

Knowing what was important, Zixiao tidied up the plates: "Okay, I understand, brother. Be careful on the road and send me a message when you arrive."

"Yes, got it!"

After that, I watched as Zixiao, who had changed into her school uniform and put on her shoes, walked out of the house, turning back every few steps.

Yu Zhe should take action too!

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

It's still a bit cold in winter, even though Christmas is approaching.

Yu Zhe was downstairs, wearing a fluffy white coat today, which, combined with his shimmering silver hair, made him look like he had special effects added.

Now he's thinking about how to get to the Qi family mansion.

Although Lu Ling and Lu Yao were always available when called upon, Yu Zhe felt somewhat guilty for always troubling the two sisters.

If I call the family driver, it'll be too slow; they probably won't even arrive by lunchtime.

I figured taking a taxi would be the simplest and most direct way.

But to avoid unnecessary trouble

He came prepared this time!

I wore this outfit so I could put on this fluffy hat, and then take out a mask from my pocket and put it on—perfect disguise!

Although Yu Zhe usually disdains such pretense, isn't this a special time?

After pacifying the Qi family, now when I open my phone, all the media in Fenghai City are reporting on this, praising Su Yuzhe as a young hero, and some media even deliberately wrote his gender wrong! This is simply intolerable.

Yu Zhe knew perfectly well why the news spread so quickly, even though the media couldn't possibly be that perceptive.

It's highly likely that the stubborn old guard behind the Su family is using this incident to quickly build momentum for him and seize a dominant position on a larger scale.

Sigh... That's why those elders never care about their own thoughts.

Yu Zhe selected a destination very close to the Qi Family Mansion on the ride-hailing app. He didn't want to be silly and just choose the Qi Family Mansion directly, otherwise the taxi driver would ask him a lot of questions.

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

It has been about half an hour since Yu Zhe got into the taxi.

Fortunately, the road conditions were good today, and there was no traffic jam. At this speed, I should be able to reach my destination in another ten minutes.

The quiet atmosphere didn't last until the end. Yu Zhe, who was playing on his phone, heard the taxi driver in front of him speak.

"Young lady, I see your destination is right next to the Qi family's courtyard."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Little girl... little girl... why are you still a little girl even with a hat and a mask on?

I'm clearly wearing men's clothing! Men's clothing! It's clearly labeled on the store shelf!

But in reality, even men's clothing these days looks perfectly natural on women, which is a fact.

The middle-aged man laughed and replied, "Haha, it's nothing, it's just that big news that's been all over the city lately, isn't it the Qi family thing? Young lady, have you seen it on your phone?"

As someone directly involved, how could I not see it?

"I saw it, the whole screen is filled with news about it."

"That's right!" the driver said, getting even more excited. "I'm not saying this to be rude, but this young master of the Su family is really capable. We don't know if the news is true or false, but just look at his demeanor. He can definitely hold his own in big situations. And he's clearly a boy, but he looks like a girl. It's really something I've never seen before."

Yu Zhe didn't reply.

He just wanted to get off the bus as soon as possible. He looks like a girl, I'm really sorry!

Ugh, this is awful.

Just over ten minutes later, Yu Zhe transferred the fare from his phone and got off the bus.

The moment he got off the bus, he took off his hat and mask, and the fresh air instantly made him feel refreshed.

That's right! It's best to just do things the way they are to feel comfortable!

He strode towards the gate of the Qi family mansion.

Actually, he had just been here a few days ago, but that was just following a plan and he wasn't comfortable. Now, he was really here to visit Sister Ye. His stride was incredibly arrogant as he walked in confidently. How could he not be arrogant?

Then, when they arrived at the entrance, they saw several bodyguards standing there.

It was the same group of big, dumb guys who had blocked us from coming in last time, insisting on reporting it to them.
