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

"Huh? Did you just say something?"

Selective amnesia, huh?

Zhang Zhi asked with a hint of disbelief, "You really didn't hear it?"

“I think I heard it,” Luo Xiaomeng said in a monotone voice, “but my conscience tells me that it’s not right, absolutely unacceptable.”

Even if this allows you to achieve your goal in one step?

"That's not OK."

"..."

There's no way to persuade her otherwise. It seems that in Luo Xiaomeng's heart, the battle between the little angel and the little devil has resulted in an overwhelming victory for the little angel.

After regaining her composure, Luo Xiaomeng asked again, "So besides these, are there any normal solutions?"

"Well, since you put it that way," Zhang Zhi sighed softly, and began to explain her more conventional methods, "After that day, you will..."

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

Yu Zhe, who had been lounging at home for several days, was truly bored.

Zixiao probably realized this too, so she didn't go to school this afternoon and stayed home with him.

Even though Yu Zhe initially disagreed in every way, Zi Xiao's attitude became even more resolute.

To cheer Yu Zhe up, Zi Xiao tried many methods, including learning the games Yu Zhe played on his phone and the playing cards she kept in the apartment.

Yu Zhe is a restless person by nature. At first, these things were quite interesting, but after playing for an afternoon, he eventually got a little bored.

"Haah~"

Without realizing it, Yu Zhe subtly covered his mouth and yawned.

This signal was naturally noticed by Zixiao, who was sitting next to him.

She put down her phone: "Brother, are you feeling bored? How about we go for a walk outside?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?" Yu Zhe denied immediately. "I just don't care what we play. With you here with me, I won't be bored."

A seasoned expert in emotional intelligence.

However, this wasn't a lie Yu Zhe told Zi Xiao to appease her; it was his true feeling. Zi Xiao spent the whole afternoon learning this and that just to keep him company, and seeing how serious she was was enough to relieve her boredom, let alone make her feel bored.

But I was really sleepy just now.

"But you've been cooped up at home for three days already." Zi

Xiao held up three fingers. "Why not go out for a walk? It's better than staying at home."

"No, you don't understand. The group of people delivering love letters at school the other day made me want to hide away again. Oh right, you saw that scene back in junior high, right?"

The girls lined up in one column and the boys in another, all to deliver love letters to the same person. Yu Zhe just wanted to find a quiet place to hide in such a scene.

“But we can’t stay at home all the time…” Zixiao sighed.

"Don't worry, it'll only be a day or two, everything will be back to normal soon~" Yu Zhe rolled over in bed. "First is Christmas the day after tomorrow, I finally have some travel plans, hehe, it feels so exciting, and then there's my birthday party the day after that..."

"Travel plans?"

Zixiao pinpointed the information precisely: "Is brother going out that day? Where is he going?"

"Oh right, I haven't told you yet." Yu Zhe turned over again and looked at Zi Xiao sitting on the edge of the bed. "I promised Luo Xiaomeng that I would go to her house for lunch that day. Oh, she invited me last week, but I didn't see the message and didn't reply. I would feel a little bad if I didn't agree this time."

I'm explaining all this because I'm afraid Zixiao might suddenly get jealous.

But she never stopped being jealous: "Hey... going to Xiaomeng's house for dinner... that's definitely something new... sigh, the only thing worth mentioning is that the brother is leaving his sisters at home to spend Christmas alone."

Zixiao, have you learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic too?

Seeing this, Yu Zhe quickly sat up and patted Zi Xiao's head: "Sweetie, I promise I'll be back before that night. I still have to spend Christmas Eve with you guys!"

36. You really didn't notice?

So, on Saturday, Christmas Day at noon.

"This tough guy is finally out!"

Standing downstairs at the apartment building, Su Yuzhe let out a cute but angry roar at the empty cobblestone path in front of him.

Cough cough... After being cooped up for so many days, it's time to relax. Of course, he chose a time when there was no one on the street. If there were people around, he wouldn't have the face to shout and yell like this.

It's a pity that no one heard this soft, heartwarming "call".

He made sure Zixiao cooked herself a proper meal before leaving. That's just how she is; whenever Yuzhe isn't eating at home, Zixiao tends to eat very simply, maybe just a fried egg for lunch.

It was almost time. While waiting for the car, Yu Zhe pulled out all the hair that had been hidden under his hat, and instantly his three thousand silver strands cascaded down, dazzling more brightly than the midday sun.

Xiaomeng said he would participate under the identity of "Yufei". We don't know if some parents are too sensitive to even let their daughters have a male friend.

But Yu Zhe will definitely respect Xiao Meng's wishes. Let him pretend to be someone else. It's just a matter of changing the name he "claims".

Today, Yuzhe wore a black and white striped wool sweater with a red cotton jacket over it, and simple casual trousers.

Hmm, it looks rather neutral. Anyway, women's clothing is the bottom line. I will never wear women's clothing. This outfit is already the limit.

Yu Zhe felt it was important to emphasize that this entire outfit was men's clothing!

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

He messaged Luo Xiaomeng early this time because he had been to this neighborhood once before due to the last comic convention, so he naturally knew which building and unit Xiaomeng lived in.

However, given Xiaomeng's emotional intelligence, she'll most likely be waiting downstairs.

However, the result was beyond Yu Zhe's expectations.

Good heavens, this little girl actually went straight to the entrance of the residential area to wait!

All the way to her doorstep, Yu Zhe looked at the little one beside him and was speechless.

"You came all this way to pick me up... but aren't you afraid I'll use the other gate? Then we won't be able to find each other?"

"No problem. If that's the case, Yuzhe, you come over first, and I'll go back." Xiaomeng entered the password on the digital keypad at the door.

"You think you're taking a stroll?"

With a "ding" sound indicating the correct password was entered, the door opened.

It's still the same house with a very homey style of decoration and furnishing.

At the round dining table directly opposite the entrance, Xiaomeng's parents stood up to greet the guests.

Yu Zhe instantly adjusted his state, bringing out the best in the etiquette and manners he had been taught since childhood.

"Good afternoon, Uncle and Aunt. I'm sorry to have bothered you so much."

"Oh, Yufei, don't be so polite. Come and sit down. It must have been cold on the way. Let me get you a glass of water."

Like Luo Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng's mom is also petite, so she quickly went to prepare tea.

Xiaomeng's dad naturally didn't neglect him either, showing concern and care, after all, this was the only friend Xiaomeng had ever brought home, and she had brought him home twice already!

After placing the tea in front of Yuzhe, Xiaomeng's mother looked at Yuzhe's clothes and asked curiously, "Hmm? Yufei, seeing the dress you wore last time, I thought you were the kind of girl who liked light and airy clothes. So you're into this cool style?"

"Cough, cough!" Yu Zhe almost choked on his tea. "No...no, Auntie, last time I went to a comic convention, so I dressed a bit flashy. And it wasn't my everyday clothes, it was comic convention cosplay, um...anime, Auntie, you know?"

It's really silly to talk about ACG culture with elders; it'll only make you feel awkward. But there's no other way, so Yu Zhe could only say, "Let's quickly change the subject. Don't remind me of that light, flowing skirt!"

"Ah... I don't really know much about this auntie. You young people like this, right? Xiaomeng often comes to home too."

It seems so.

"Yes, oh, that's not important. Your parents are at home, but shouldn't we keep an eye on the bakery?"

The one who picked up the conversation was the young and adorable dad, who was the head of the family.

"At first, we had to keep an eye on things every day, but now that the business has grown and each store has hired a manager, we're much more relaxed and only need to go occasionally. Actually, what I wanted to ask was..."

Xiao Meng's dad was looking at Yu Zhe with a puzzled expression.

He was so curious that he asked, "Yufei, when you came last time, I wanted to ask you, what is your relationship with Su Yuzhe from the Su Group?"

Yu Zhe smiled helplessly: "Why do you ask that?"

"Why...it's because you look a lot like that young master, no, you look exactly the same! Remember what happened with the Qi family? It caused quite a stir, and there were reports on TV for days with photos of Su Yuzhe. I wasn't sure last time, but this time it's definitely true."

The dad, who might be a bit slow on the uptake, thought it was just a resemblance, since Yufei is a girl and Su Yuzhe is a boy. But curiosity still lingered: how could two people look so alike?

After a moment's thought, Yu Zhe quickly came up with a fabricated reason: "Uncle, you guessed right. It's like this: you see, I also have the surname Su, right? Su Yu Zhe is actually my cousin, and I'm his cousin. But I'm the child of a branch family. Yu Zhe is from the main family, so he's very powerful."

"Besides, people say we look alike, so maybe... it's just a coincidence."

This explanation may be far-fetched, but Yu Zhe didn't expect the other party to believe it at all, nor did he need to. How could such a reason work if they looked alike?

But to his surprise, Xiaomeng's father clapped his hands and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! No wonder, Yufei, you're from a wealthy family too! Impressive!"

Well, he doesn't seem very bright.

"Alright, alright." Xiaomeng's mom smiled and called to Xiaomeng, "Yufei came to play with you, Xiaomeng, quickly take Yufei to your room, I'll go prepare lunch, I'll come and call you when it's ready."

"it is good!"

That's what I've been waiting for.

Xiao Meng naturally took Yu Zhe's hand and walked towards her room.

The moment she closed the door, she let out a heavy sigh: "Phew~ That scared me to death. I thought we were going to be exposed. Luckily, my dad is simple-minded, otherwise, how would my words have worked?"

"No, it's already been exposed," Yu Zhe said casually.

"Huh?"

Seeing that she didn't understand, Yu Zhe explained, "Your dad really didn't think of it, but your mom is very smart, she probably already knows."

"Oh? What should we do? What if they won't let me play with you?"

From a young age, her family told her that she couldn't play with boys; they were that strict.

Yu Zhe sat in Xiao Meng's chair and waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, trust me, nothing will happen after this, we don't need to worry about it."

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

In the living room, Xiaomeng's father said with a proud look, "Look at my daughter, she's so wise in making friends. Look at Yufei, what kind of family is she! The Su family, they're so powerful! They'll definitely be able to help Xiaomeng out in the future, so we have to treat them well and not let Xiaomeng lose face."

Although Xiaomeng's mother was still smiling, her words were anything but kind: "Honey, should I say you're stupid or just clueless? Didn't you really realize that Yufei is Su Yuzhe?"
