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

"Hahaha! Zixiao, can't you speak properly? If you want to be cute, just say so. You're acting like a little kid, not even able to reach it. It makes you look silly, you know?"

"How dare you say that to me?! Weren't you the one who was clinging to your brother for so long just now?!"

“I’m different from you. I’m being openly affectionate. You, on the other hand, are so pathetic.”

"That seems to make sense... Wait, you're acting all high and mighty and still have the nerve to be right?!"

A beautiful morning often begins with the sisters' battles.

Of course, Yu Zhe still combed Zi Xiao's hair afterwards. Since he had combed Yu Che's hair, he couldn't forget Zi Xiao. That's what balance is all about.

Next, Yu Zhe went out for a walk. When he came out of the ward, he saw Lu Ling and Lu Yao still guarding the door.

The two were still wearing maid outfits.

Yu Zhe observed them carefully this time. Both of them had medium-length brown hair, reaching their shoulders. Lu Ling had a single ponytail on the left, while Lu Yao had a single ponytail on the right.

If they hadn't been ten years old and covered in dust in that abandoned warehouse, Yu Zhe probably would have recognized them long ago.

Who would have thought those two children would be so good-looking?

When they saw Yu Zhe come out, they immediately bowed slightly in greeting.

Yu Zhe stopped them with a gesture and said with a smile.

"You two little ones, you've worked so hard!"

Whether it was the somewhat cunning Lu Ling or the emotionless Lu Yao, their eyes both shone with the same light.

Just like back then, when Yu Zhe carried Lu Yao on his back, with Lu Ling following behind, towards the warehouse exit, at that moment of light.

Their voices trembled slightly as they replied, "Yes... thank you, young master."

It feels so good to be remembered by you.

But this time, I dare not call you "little sister" anymore.

34. You call this a coincidence?

During Yu Zhe's morning walk, everyone consciously refrained from following him.

Everyone around him knows this habit of his. He used to sneak out to play when he was in the villa. When Yu Zhe wants to relax, he always likes to walk alone.

That's perfect. Yu Che needs to go back to the company to take care of things for a while, while Zi Xiao needs to study how to prepare lunch in the ward. She discussed it with Lu Ling and Lu Yao. They not only improve their combat power in the maid group, but their cooking skills are also superb.

Speaking of which, after Zixiao realized that they were the two little girls from the warehouse back then, she suddenly felt less unfamiliar with them than yesterday. With this in mind, she had to research the most nutritious and balanced meal combinations!

So now, Yu Zhe is the only one strolling in Xicheng Park next to the hospital.

This park is the largest in Xicheng District and can be considered a landmark project for the district. Moreover, it's not just about appearances; the park has a beautiful environment and complete fitness and supporting facilities, making it a popular choice for nearby residents to take walks.

"Hmm...this little river is really nice, we can even raise some small fish. We should build one over at the villa too...hehe, just kidding."

With his hands behind his back and an appreciative look in his eyes, Yu Zhe strolled along the circular stream in the park.

He was talking to himself! If Yu Che had heard what he just said, believe me, he'd see construction on the villa start immediately when he got back! Who knows if you meant "the whole thing"—the whole little fish or the whole stream!

The stunningly handsome young man strolling along blended seamlessly into the park's beautiful winter scenery. Not only the young people taking a walk in twos and threes in the early morning, but even the old men playing chess couldn't help but offer their praise.

Oh dear... maybe being hospitalized has its benefits. This morning is so pleasant, much better than sleeping until noon.

Ahem... That being said, Yu Zhe still sleeps until noon half the week, but let's not go into that.

Thinking about these trivial matters, Yu Zhe knew that he hadn't just come for a walk; he had serious business to attend to.

I spotted a familiar figure in the distance, beside a willow tree by a stream.

"Little Ruoke! Over here, over here, it's so early!"

Turning off location services on his phone, Yu Zhe slowly walked forward.

Qin Ruoke naturally turned around to greet her, and her first words were: "It's getting late, almost 9:30. How are you feeling today? You won't be like before, not saying anything even when you're not feeling well, right?"

"Hey, stop dwelling on that. I already said I'm reflecting on it. Can't you tell? I feel refreshed today."

"It's obvious, how could you not?"

On her way here, Qin Ruoke noticed that everyone in the park was looking in one direction. She was initially confused about what it was about, but it turned out to be just because of Yu Zhe.

You're probably the only one who can make a conversation about something as simple as walking down the street.

Yu Zhe came to the park simply because Qin Ruoke sent him a message that morning saying it was the weekend, school was on holiday, and his part-time job at Luo Xiaomeng's place was also on holiday, so he had nothing to do and wanted to come see him. Welcome to [Xi'er's] picture book.

馆;:】:.7;4.6:0.,9:"4!0:7";6.

So Yu Zhe simply chose this park as the location. There wasn't really a problem to begin with, and it would always feel strange if classmates came to visit him in the hospital.

"Not having to go to the hospital is a huge help," Qin Ruoke suddenly said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Of course it's because of your sister... I mean Su Zixiao." She said helplessly, "Didn't you notice? Ever since you were hospitalized yesterday, she's been like a cat guarding its food. Yesterday, Luo Xiaomeng and I both felt a lot of pressure."

"Hmm? Really? I think Zixiao is quite normal."

Qin Ruoke didn't want to refute this. Yes, it's quite normal for you, but for us... it's practically on high alert. That's why she said earlier that it was so great to be able to visit us in this park.

Compared to all that, Yu Zhe looked Qin Ruoke up and down for a while before sincerely praising her: "But speaking of which, you actually got this dress already? That's quite efficient. As I expected, it really suits you."

"Th-thank you..."

The sudden praise caught Qin Ruoke off guard.

The style of her clothes today was completely different from usual; it was a black and white checkered shirt.

She used to dress very simply.

The blue cat-patterned wool sweater that Qin Ruoke wore earlier caught Yu Zhe's eye. He always felt that Qin Ruoke could exude a completely different temperament with just a little dressing up.

So yesterday, when he was bored in the hospital bed, Yu Zhe drew a design sketch of a garment and sent it to a clothing manufacturer that had a partnership with the Su family.

I've already told Qin Ruoke that I'll have someone deliver the clothes to her once they're finished.

The order I placed yesterday was delivered this morning?

How could the clothing manufacturers dare not hurry up? This was an order personally placed by the young master of the Su family.

Of course, if she didn't want to wear it, that would be fine, but Qin Ruoke said she was quite willing!

The clothes that Yu Zhe designs himself definitely represent his aesthetic sense, so aren't they directly Yu Zhe's favorite style?

Although she didn't want to admit it, ever since Qin Ruoke got clothes other than her school uniform, she had been trying to figure out what style Yu Zhe liked.

Qin Ruoke also looked at her black and white checkered shirt and flicked the loose sleeves: "It looks pretty good, but aren't there a lot of lace and ribbons... I feel a little uncomfortable with it."

"There aren't many... This one is pretty cool, and it's suitable for girls. You have to slowly adapt to modern people's aesthetics, you know?"

The entire dress only has three black bows, which are quite subtle, yet Qin Ruoke said it was flashy. Seriously, how simple was your aesthetic sense before!

The two walked along the stream. Qin Ruoke found it incredible. She never imagined she would receive such treatment before. She also never expected that Yu Zhe would actually come out to see her after she sent a message.

Just as she was thinking this, Yu Zhe's words interrupted her train of thought.

Isn't that amazing?

"Huh?"

Qin Ruoke thought for a moment, "Didn't I say anything just now? You can read minds?"

"I can't read minds."

And you still say you can't do it!

Yu Zhe chuckled twice and said, "You find it unbelievable? I don't think it's necessary."

"No... I still have some self-awareness," Qin Ruoke sighed. "No matter what you say, I still find it amazing. As for you, Yuzhe, I doubt anyone in the entire Fenghai City could hire you, so I think..."

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Yu Zhe's expression remained unchanged; he simply stated, "Or rather, for my few friends, I still hope you can treat me as an ordinary person."

A few friends?

Does Qin Ruoke think she can be considered one of them?

But treating you like an ordinary person... Qin Ruoke felt she couldn't do it, she never could.

There will always be a ray of sacred moonlight in my heart, and that radiance is destined to be extraordinary.

Whether Yu Zhe could read her mind or not, he shrugged and laughed, "Let's not talk about that. Seriously, this outfit really suits you. Next time I'll get you something else, will you still wear it?"

Seeing Yu Zhe's eyes light up, Qin Ruoke was speechless: "Are you treating me like a dress-up doll...?"

She was a little reluctant just now, but after only a few milliseconds, Qin Ruoke compromised and said, "Well... as long as the clothes aren't too flashy, it's fine."

"Hehe, that's good. I've got a lot of ideas lately, and maybe I even have a talent for becoming a fashion designer."

No, no, no… you have so many talents.

Qin Ruoke felt helpless. She didn't know when she had become so easily swayed in front of Yu Zhe...

It was just a coincidence... Yes, that's right, it must be a coincidence!

"There's an empty chessboard over there! Ruoke, do you know how to play chess? How about playing a game with me?"

Well... Although Qin Ruoke knows how to play chess, the people who usually play chess at the chessboard not far away are mostly old men.

Although her style is rather simple, she has no desire to experience old age prematurely!

Despite some inner resistance, she looked into Yu Zhe's expectant eyes...

Qin Ruoke replied, "Okay...alright, I know how to play chess...if it's just for a little while..."

"Uh-huh."

She compromised so easily in front of Yu Zhe...it must be...a coincidence, right?

35. You weren't even playing seriously! (Bonus Chapter)

This chessboard area faces the stream and is backed by an artificial hill, making it a truly pleasant place to play chess.

Hmm... if it weren't for the fact that the people around were mostly elderly men playing chess.

That's true.

It's so early in the morning, what young people would come to the park to play chess, especially on a weekend? They're probably still dreaming.

Ke Yuzhe was very happy.
