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

"This is a gift for you."

Before Yu Che could even process what was happening...

Yu Zhe freed one hand, grabbed the large curtains on the windowsill, and pulled hard.

With the soft sound of the curtains being drawn open, the balcony was instantly illuminated by various lights from outside.

"Brother, what's wrong... eh..."

Wait a minute, there aren't usually this many lights on this balcony. Naturally, as Yu Che turned to look out the window, she saw the source of the lights.

Then he opened his eyes wide.

About a kilometer away from the villa, a vast and magnificent panorama unfolded.

Not only Yu Zhe, Yu Che, and Zi Xiao, but also the girls in the next room, and even the guests who had not yet left the hall, all came out and saw this grand occasion from afar.

There were flashing lights and shadows, and a large number of people had gathered there. Although they were too far away to see who they were, there were at least a thousand people. However, the light source was easy to identify: it came from the high beams placed on the ground and the glow sticks that people were waving.

If this were placed on some stages, it would look exactly like a scene of fans cheering for their idols.

Just seconds after the curtains were drawn back, the time on Zixiao's phone was exactly 9:30.

Almost simultaneously, the crowd in the distance, holding up glow sticks and pushing high beams, quickly changed formation.

Looking down from above, the colors combine to form a sentence.

Happy birthday, Miss!

The whole world seemed to quiet down. Yu Che looked out the window, then at her brother who was smiling gently in front of her, and suddenly realized what was happening.

Then I heard the crowd outside.

Even here, a female voice could be heard coming from a loudspeaker: "Thank you, Miss, for leading us forward last year. We'll be counting on you again next year!"

The voice came from a middle-aged woman who was the company's vice president. Since Yu Che came to manage the company, she really felt that everything was going in a good direction.

Not only her, but all the other employees felt the same way; their salaries had increased and their benefits had improved significantly.

Therefore, when Young Master Su Yuzhe came to them to complete this "light pattern", they were willing and very happy to do so.

Hearing the faint yet real blessings coming from afar, Yu Che looked at Yu Zhe with surprise: "Brother... who is this...?"

"This is a gift for you." Yu Zhe patted her head. "I want you to know that you shouldn't always say that everything is for me. It's for yourself too. Look at everything you created last year, how many people were willing to come and celebrate your birthday. That's proof that you're living your own life."

"Ugh..."

Tears welled up uncontrollably, and Yu Che asked in a tearful voice, "Brother... how long have you been preparing... was going to the company this afternoon just for...?"

"Well... there are quite a lot of people, so rehearsing is quite a challenge, but it'll only take... a few weeks?"

Zixiao suddenly realized why her brother had been going out for a while after school these past few weeks.

As for Yu Che, it was an agitation that completely irrationally drove him to madness.

"Brother! I really love you so much!"

Yu Che lunged forward and pushed Yu Zhe away from the balcony.

The two staggered a few steps and collapsed onto the bed together.

Yu Zhe would definitely choose to fall first to protect Yu Che!

So it ended up with her riding on top of herself.

"Hey! That's dangerous!"

But Yu Che's eyes were unfocused, her gaze fixed on Yu Zhe's face. Tears welled up in her own eyes, filled with emotion. "Thank you... thank you, brother. I... I just couldn't hold back! Brother, I want to..."

No, you don't want to!

Seeing that things were going badly, Zixiao quickly blushed and pulled Yuche away: "You two idiot siblings!"

68. You go back too!

You can't imagine how much effort Zixiao put in to get Yuche from her brother's side.

He pulled it off his brother.

She's acting like she's lost her mind, but Zixiao can understand it...

You always see Yu Che complaining that she wants Yu Zhe to be the most prestigious wherever he goes. If Yu Zhe were to prepare such a grand celebration for her instead, she would definitely be incredibly touched.

Zixiao asked herself honestly, if her brother did the same thing to her, she might just pin him down on the bed too.

As for what happens next... we'll just have to see how things go at that time!

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

At this moment, in the next room.

Xiao Lizhi and the others saw the grand "celebration" outside from the window. The others just thought the scene was amazing, but Qi Xinye had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. It was probably Xiao Zhe's doing. Without even thinking about it, Yu Che must be very excited right now. Hopefully, Zi Xiao can keep her in check.

After watching the crowd gradually disperse, they sat down again and continued their conversation.

"Really? Sure enough, Xiao Zhe is a central figure at school," Qi Xinye smiled subtly. "He really is. He used to tell me that he hoped not to attract too much attention at school and to be more reserved, but it's all useless."

"Of course, Yu Zhe is amazing. He stole the show at the sports meet, and just take that incident with the news department a few days ago, Sister Qi, you don't know, it's been all over the students, and even the head of the news department wrote a separate article to thank Yu Zhe."

Luo Xiaomeng listed Yu Zhe's "glorious deeds" at school to Qi Xinye, and her story was so captivating that even Qin Ruoke was stunned.

What? You just said that Yu Zhe is kind and approachable, gets along well with his classmates, and that everyone in the class relies on him?

It's true that they rely on him a lot, but are you sure it's not just one-sided adoration from the classmates? Yu Zhe doesn't talk to them when he's not busy!

Speaking of this, Qin Ruoke still wanted to add: "Well... there's something Xiaomeng didn't mention, which is that Yuzhe's academic performance is also unbelievable, it can be said to have reached an unbelievable level."

"You don't need to worry about that, Qin Ruoke. As for Xiao Zhe's exam results, they're practically a game-changer for you guys. We've seen that before." Qi Xinye shrugged helplessly. "You used to be the top student in your grade, right? Honestly, do you have any complaints about Xiao Zhe's academic performance?"

In the past, this would definitely have been a very sensitive issue for Qin Ruoke, but now, it's not a problem at all.

"At first, I might have felt a little uncomfortable, after all, it's the feeling of not being able to catch up even after trying hard... But now I feel that it's good to be able to follow Yu Zhe. At least I won't give up the second place in the grade."

"Hmm, not bad. Don't worry. Based on my understanding of Xiao Zhe, even if he takes your first place in the grade, he will definitely introduce new policies in the school so that you can have the same treatment as the first place in the grade when you take the college entrance examination."

Qin Ruoke had to admit that this Sister Qi really understood Yu Zhe. Indeed, just as she said, Yu Zhe changed the school's admission policy because of this incident.

Is this the real expert who understands Yu Zhe?! I definitely need to add her as a friend later and ask her lots of questions... cough cough, I don't mean studying, I mean anything about Yu Zhe. She's definitely a mentor!

Although Qin Ruoke doesn't compete with Yu Zhe, she still tries her best to get what she can, after all, that's just her competitive nature.

"Okay, let's exchange contact information. If Xiao Zhe has any problems at school, just contact me. That way, everyone will have peace of mind."

Qi Xinye was secretly delighted. In this way, she had also arranged someone in Xiao Zhe's school to report to her. With this information about Xiao Zhe's current situation at school, she could take the initiative and even get ahead of Zi Xiaoyuche!

Wildflowers are really useful!

The others were actually hoping to get some information about Yu Zhe from Qi Xinye.

What do you call this? This is called mutual exploitation... Ugh! No, it's called mutual benefit and win-win!

Besides, Qi Xinye thought these children were indeed quite good. Qin Ruoke was steady and meticulous, Luo Xiaomeng was innocent and kind, and the remaining child from the Ouyang family... well... a bit dull.

For example, she's still eating the xiaolongbao that Yuzhe just brought over, one bite at a time.

"Um... Lizhi, aren't you full yet?" Qi Xinye was shocked by her appetite.

"Mmm... Sister Qi Xinye, it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that Brother Yuzhe's steamed buns are so delicious!"

Swallow the bun in your mouth before you speak!

And you're just a glutton! There were six baskets of buns in total, and you ate three of them yourself. Each basket had more than ten buns!

They all eat so much, yet they never gain weight, something Qi Xinye, who is determined to lose weight every day, cannot understand.

It was at this moment that Yu Zhe returned with Zi Xiao and Yu Che.

Qi Xinye immediately noticed the tear stains at the corners of Yu Che's eyes. Was he moved to tears?

Xiao Zhe, you are truly "deeply sinful".

When Yu Zhe saw the empty cages on the table and the small lychees that were still being wolfed down, he had a bad feeling.

"Did you all get to eat? I thought six baskets would be enough... but it still wasn't enough for this idiot. Should I make some more?"

Qin Ruoke would certainly not agree: "No need to trouble Yuzhe, we've all tried it, it's delicious. Maybe Lizhi is a little hungry?"

No, you're overestimating her. She's not hungry; she's just greedy. She's a super foodie who can never be satisfied no matter how much you feed her.

It's almost ten o'clock already...

Yu Zhe confirmed one

He sighed and said, "I had so many plans for tonight, but the banquet took up too much time. It's so late now, I can't do anything."

“It’s okay, Xiao Zhe,” Qi Xinye suggested. “Isn’t it almost Chinese New Year? We can all get together then, and when we have enough time, we can finish your plans. How about that?”

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

What? There's another opportunity to visit Yuzhe soon?

Isn't that exactly what I've been hoping for?

That's all we can do, Yu Zhe thought, and then asked about the situation: "It's getting late. Does everyone want to go home or stay here? There are plenty of empty rooms."

"Um... I'll go home. My parents said I should stay at home tonight; they're worried about me staying out overnight." Xiaomeng was also helpless; what could she do when her parents were so prone to worrying?

"Then I'll go back too. It's too much trouble to clean up an empty room." Qin Ruoke also got up to pack her things.

Qi Xinye said the same thing: "The Qi family has been quite busy lately. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, so I'll go back to the Qi family first. I can't just ignore everything."

With only one small lychee left, she looked conflicted but didn't forget to continue munching on the remaining xiaolongbao.

Yu Zhe asked her, "Little Lychee, what do you say? Are you going to stay here to sleep or go home?"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Lizhi finally spoke up, "Can I stay here to sleep...? You don't need to tidy up the room, I can sleep on the floor..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zixiao immediately activated her interrupt skill: "You go back too!"

"Waaaaah, Zixiao is so mean! I didn't have a choice at all!"

69. Blessings from afar (Bonus chapter)

"Alright, in that case, I'll arrange for a maid to take you back."

By the way, the big cake that Luo Xiaomeng gave as a gift has been moved back downstairs. In the end, it was the two sisters, Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who finished it together.

Finally, I can rest and don't have to work so hard anymore?
