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

2. I wake up early so I can admire your sleeping face.

Su Zixiao was really exasperated. She finally got to be alone with her brother, but why did Yu Che always have to interrupt from afar?

This isn't the first time; for the past month, my brother's phone has been bombarded with messages from Yuche almost every day.

As Su Yuzhe listened to the constant notifications, he felt inexplicably panicked.

He walked over, picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened the app to see what Yu Che had posted early in the morning.

He was quite startled when he saw it. He had gotten up very early, and it was only 7:40 a.m., yet Yu Che had started sending messages an hour ago. He was surprised that she hadn't woken him up. Didn't this girl usually sleep until noon?

Out of curiosity, Su Zixiao also came over to look at the phone screen.

There are roughly a few dozen messages with this content in chronological order.

"Brother! Are you awake yet!"

"Brother, hurry up if you're not up yet! Don't let Zixiao wake you up! She's definitely up to no good!"

The next one was a video call, but Su Yuzhe was probably fast asleep at the time.

So only the video call was left unanswered.

"Waaah... Brother, why aren't you talking to me or answering my calls? Did I disturb your sleep? Are you angry? Well... I'll come back in 10 minutes... (feeling wronged)"

"Seriously?!" Su Yuzhe was speechless at his younger sister's behavior. It wasn't even 7 o'clock when she posted this!

And this guy is absolutely incorrigible! Sorry, I know I disturbed you, but he'll do it again in a minute!

Sure enough, the next message came around 7:10.

"Brother...you're not deliberately sleeping in because you're hoping Zixiao will wake you up, are you? No way...I won't allow it! After all, I'm your own sister! Hmph!"

7:20

"Waaaah... I'll never say that again! Brother, please pay attention to me! I agreed to let her call you, so please don't do this. At most, you can hold hands... no, at most touch your fingers! And brother, could you at least reply with an 'oh'? That would make Yu Che happy!"

This long string of messages actually all conveys the same meaning—suddenly feeling humble.jpg.

For some reason, Su Zixiao felt a strange sense of smugness upon seeing this. So what if you're my sister? You're no different when it comes to being humble! Hmph, serves you right for always using the title of "sister" to intimidate me!

7:30

"My father insists I go to school. I really don't want to go, but at least... at least I need to see my brother's reply! Otherwise, I definitely can't stay at school all day!"

At 7:40, this is the latest message.

"I'm going to die without my brother!! I don't care anymore, I don't want to go to school anymore! My brother is ignoring me, I'm going to find you in Xicheng right now!"

Hey, no!

Su Yuzhe was really panicked. He couldn't let Su Yuche come over no matter what. After all, he wanted her to go to school properly. More importantly, it was about his agreement with his father. If she came during school hours, he would probably have to pack up and go back to his family home in the afternoon!

So Su Yuzhe immediately opened the chat box and typed his reply as quickly as possible.

"Oh, sorry Yuche, I just woke up. Don't worry, it wasn't Zixiao who woke me up, it was my alarm clock. Listen to me, okay? Go to school properly, alright?"

Yes, I was woken up by my alarm clock! I'm not lying!

But there's something off about how I try to coax this girl. She's a senior in high school, so why does it always sound like I'm coaxing a child?

You should know that Su Yuche's image in front of outsiders is the same as Su Yuzhe's. He is a super genius who seems to know everything. He has long since shed his naivety and is just short of being called a prodigy.

But no matter how aloof she is in front of outsiders, this child seems to never grow up when she's with me, and her love for being spoiled has never changed from childhood to adulthood.

Su Yuzhe sent the message and Su Yuche replied within seconds. Was he staring at his phone the whole time?

"Okay! I understand, brother. I'll do whatever you say, brother, and wait for the holidays."

I'll come find you again later. It's getting late, I have to go to school now. That's all for now, brother, love you!

Before Su Yuzhe could finish typing his reply, Su Yuche sent another message.

"Zixiao, you're probably watching too, right? You and your brother need to keep your distance. Don't think you can act recklessly just because I'm not around!"

Upon seeing this, Su Zixiao's brow twitched. Whether the guess was accurate or not was unimportant, but these words were infuriating!

At this moment, Su Yuzhe's reply was also sent.

"Okay, good luck with your schoolwork. Come visit me during your holidays. I love you too!"

Yes, I love you. I'd love you even more if you weren't so boisterous in the morning!

"Sending hearts, sending hearts (emoji)"

After Su Yuche sent the last message and replied, there was no further response. It seems she went to school obediently.

Zixiao walked to the door first, opened it, and then turned to let Su Yuzhe go out first.

"I made breakfast before your brother got up. Even if you don't go to school, you can't have a messy schedule. Come and have some breakfast."

Her ruby-like eyes blinked, full of cuteness and care.

But Su Yuzhe still noticed Zixiao's restrained movements. This child... really thinks that since she left the main family and there are no maids, she has to take care of her brother meticulously. What is she doing? Does she want to be both a younger sister and a mother?

"Mmm." Su Yuzhe got up first and walked to the door, taking Su Zixiao's hand in his hand. "I've said it many times, just like when we were at the main house. Although you said you would take on the responsibility of taking care of me, you will always be my sister. We're just here to experience life, why put so much pressure on yourself?"

Emptying all his strength, he stared blankly at his brother's stunningly handsome face, letting him lead him to the dining table and sit down first before turning around and heading to the bathroom.

So gentle... My brother has never changed either.

I don't want to be both a younger sister and a mother at the same time, what kind of understanding is that...?

But... I've left the main family, and I don't want my brother to suffer even the slightest grievance. I'll do my best to do what I can, which is also the purpose of coming out with my brother. But... most of the time, I feel that no matter how much I do, I'm always the one being taken care of in the end... just like just now.

While she was lost in thought, Su Yuzhe came out of the bathroom. His silver ahoge was down, and his skin was still wet. No matter how many years she had looked at him, Su Zixiao would blush and look away, unable to look him in the eye.

But that was only for a moment. She would always quickly turn her gaze back to Su Yuzhe naturally, because it would be a huge loss if she didn't look at him!

Su Yuzhe, who rarely gets up early, looked at the table with interest. It was full of breakfast prepared by Zixiao.

Hmm? A whole table of breakfast?

"Hey, let me see! Scrambled eggs, toast, soy milk, egg drop soup, and even a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?!"

This amount was really too much for breakfast for two people, because he knew that his sister had a small appetite and would probably be full after just a couple of bites.

"Zixiao...this..."

As Su Yuzhe spoke, he picked up a slice of toast and put it in his mouth. It was toasted just right and tasted delicious!

"Is this a bit too much for breakfast? Putting aside whether it's too much or not, hmm... this bread is really delicious... Oh right, it must have taken a lot of time to prepare this, right?"

Su Zixiao, who was also eating toast, quickly shook her head upon hearing this.

"No, it won't take much time. The soy milk, soup, and toast are all made automatically by the machine. I just made a little bit." She thought for a moment, then added, "It'll only take about an hour!"

"An hour?!" Su Yuzhe felt the bread slice in his hand was really heavy. "Then that means... you came to wake me up at 7:30, which means you were already preparing breakfast at 6:30?!"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just wanted to prepare more so that my brother could choose what he wanted to eat. I'm really happy when I prepare breakfast every day."

Well, she wouldn't tell Yu Zhe that she actually started preparing before six o'clock.

I also spent half an hour admiring my brother's sleeping face...

3. You are the only one in my eyes.

In the end, Su Yuzhe forced himself to finish all the breakfast on the table.

Not a single one was left.

Zixiao only ate two slices of bread and one bite of scrambled egg the whole time!

The stunningly handsome young man, clutching his slightly swollen belly, offered his suggestion with some difficulty.

"Um... Zixiao, I'll tell you what I want to eat for breakfast the night before from now on, so you don't have to go through all that trouble. You see... it's always good to get some more sleep."

"Okay, I understand, brother. I'll listen to you."

The well-behaved Zixiao felt a strange sense of satisfaction looking at her brother who had eaten his fill. However, it was impossible for her to sleep a little longer. By saving some time on cooking, she had more time to admire her brother's sleeping face!

This is a huge profit!

"Hey..."

Su Yuzhe looked at Zixiao's big, blinking eyes and knew she was definitely not thinking anything good.

Looking around at the environment where I had lived for a month, I realized that the apartment had three bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom. The basic facilities, such as a TV and sofa, were quite complete, and there was also a large kitchen. It was neither too close nor too far from the high school that Zixiao attended in the West District.

Su Yuzhe always felt very satisfied with this look.

Although it was worlds apart from his family's large villa complex, which spanned over 10,000 square meters including the garden and paths, this small house felt more like home to Yu Zhe. Even though he knew he didn't belong here, as a rare experience, it was worthwhile.

Okay...

The boy rested his chin on his hand and slightly pulled back the curtains that were closed by the table. This was the 12th floor, and he could see the endless stream of vehicles and the occasional passerby outside.

Then, looking at Su Zixiao, who was smiling contentedly at him in the slanting sunlight, Su Yuzhe noticed that her eyes, unlike his own, did not hold any imagination about the future. All Su Yuzhe could see in her eyes was himself.

This girl, whose eyes were only on Yu Zhe, kept looking at him the whole time, as if that was all her happiness.

This is probably what a peaceful and serene life looks like.

Su Yuzhe returned the smile, a smile even brighter, radiating the youthful beauty and vivacity of the boy, causing Zixiao's face to flush instantly, and she slowly lowered her head.

That's a foul... Brother's smile and his silver hair are so beautiful in the soft sunlight...

Seeing his younger sister's adorable, hamster-like appearance, Su Yuzhe nodded slightly in satisfaction. Indeed, Zixiao and Yuche are the cutest in the world! Well, it wouldn't be right to leave out Yuche, not to mention that they are both incredibly cute.

Both of them held their milk cups and slowly finished drinking them.

Only then did Su Yuzhe slowly ask the question he had wanted to ask earlier.

"Zixiao, your school actually started classes a long time ago. Is it okay if we don't leave now?"

Looking at the 8:10 time on his phone, Yu Zhe, though used to Zi Xiao's composure in the face of any situation, still felt compelled to ask. Zi Xiao was a sophomore in high school and needed to fully experience campus life.

Incidentally, it was Yu Zhe who helped Zi Xiao transfer to Xicheng Fenghai No.1 Middle School a month ago, since it's close by. Before that, the two of them, like Yu Che, had been studying at Dongcheng Qifeng No.1 Middle School.

These two high schools have something in common: they are both among the top high schools in Fenghai City, and also nationally renowned schools.

Of course, there's another commonality that Su Yuzhe doesn't really want to mention: both high schools were built with funding from the Su family...

Su Zixiao, however, only had doubts in her eyes.

"Huh? But I don't need to go to school according to the class schedule, right? Isn't this the school rule you helped me revise?"

At this point, Zixiao looked at Yuzhe with even more gratitude in her eyes.
