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

What an unexpected bonus!

Beside her, Xue'er's tail followed her owner's twin ponytails, swaying happily as if expressing her joyful mood.

Qi Xinye, who had just been reciting pi, smiled helplessly at Yu Zhe's actions, her expression becoming much more natural.

As expected of Xiao Zhe, he always acts so decisively. Normally, would someone just pick up a girl and carry her right away?

This time, it was her turn to envy Xiaomeng's petite figure.

As soon as the time-lapse camera shutter clicked, the sound of photo booth pictures being printed followed immediately.

Yu Zhe put the little cutie back on the ground and took out the photo from the card slot to look at it.

Hmm... I'm much more satisfied this time!

Ye Jie on the right smiled naturally, while Luo Xiaomeng in the middle... well, although she was also smiling, her smile seemed a little strange, and her eyes kept glancing in our direction.

Finally, Yu Zhe on the left has a mischievous grin on his face, probably because he feels a sense of accomplishment from bullying Xiao Meng!

Yu Zhe printed three copies of the photo using the built-in printer next to him, giving one to each person.

"These photos turned out great. Let's keep them as a memento. We can come out and play again sometime in the future."

The two girls held the photo booth pictures in their hands, each with their own thoughts.

Qi Xinye was straightforward and said what was on her mind.

"Xiao Zhe, do you think... if we have a daughter in the future, she'll look like this picture...?"

"puff!"

The voice didn't come from Yu Zhe, but from Xiao Meng, who looked at Qi Xinye with disbelief.

What? Has the competition really reached this stage?

And what daughter?! Who are you looking down on?! Who are you calling a child?!

Seeing this, Qi Xinye hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Ah, no, no, I was just saying, what if, what if!"

If that's enough to cause a self-destruction, then it's practically a self-destructing truck.

Yu Zhe picked up the photo and looked at it again. To be honest, he hadn't thought so before, but now that Sister Ye said it, he really did have that feeling.

No, no, no... that's too rude to Xiaomeng. She was just a pitiful little girl before, and now you're going to demote her by a generation?

No, not at all.

Xiao Meng was already angry, and now she wasn't going to back down. Pointing at the photo, she said, "Hmph, if we're talking about the future, I'll be the one on the left too!"

The statement is vague, yet bold.

Qi Xinye frowned slightly. She knew that the girl on the left in the photo was her. Did this little girl mean she was going to take her place?

You're overthinking it.

Just as a battle was about to begin, Yu Zhe quickly broke the tense atmosphere.

He chuckled wryly as he put the photo booth picture into his shirt pocket: "Hahaha...you little rascal, wait until you can reach the screen with your head before you can stand on the left. Sister Ye, let's go back. Lu Ling and Lu Yao have been waiting over there for ages."

"it is good."

Before leaving, Yu Zhe didn't forget to tease Xue'er a couple more times.

"By the way, Xiaomeng, do you want a ride? I'll take you home."

"I haven't even bought anything yet... and I'm walking the dog... what's the point of taking a car?"

"No, you're busy, I was just kidding."

"..."

Sometimes Xiaomeng feels that Yuzhe is definitely a bit cunning in his subconscious, and his skill in teasing people is simply first-rate.

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

Yu Zhe had Lu Ling and Lu Yao take Qi Xinye back to the Qi family home first, and then he returned to his apartment in Xicheng.

After dropping them off at the apartment building, the two of them drove away as usual. Actually, Yu Zhe guessed that they must live nearby, otherwise they wouldn't be able to come whenever he called.

The Qi family's manor was in the east of the city, and after all that back and forth to the west, it was already completely dark.

Yu Zhe stood in front of the apartment, shrugged, looked back at the sky and the bright moon hanging high, and couldn't help but sigh.

Oh no, I'm late.

What awaited him was quite obvious, wasn't it?

Prepared mentally, Yu Zhe entered the password into the electronic lock and gently pushed the door open.

Naturally, the first thing Yu Zhe saw was Zi Xiao standing in the entryway. After closing the door, he faced the "storm" head-on.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her smile bright, but it didn't quite look like a smile: "Brother, you're finally back."

"Can...can't"

"Really? I'm finally back."

"What time did you say you'd be home before you left?"

"Before six... six o'clock."

"What time is it now?"

"8:30."

"Hmm? So you knew too, brother." Zixiao took a few steps forward. "Brother thinks I can't get angry with you, so you're bullying me like this, right?"

"Well... there's a reason for that... You know, I have to send Sister Ye back first, right? Dongcheng is so far away."

"Hey, brother, you don't need to explain to me. Didn't I say before that I was just worried about your safety?"

Zixiao wasn't as angry as Yuzhe had imagined. Instead, she simply came over and helped Yuzhe take off his coat.

This surprised Yu Zhe a bit; Zi Xiao seemed unusually tolerant today!

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Zixiao, after getting Yuzhe's coat, quickly reached into the coat's pocket.

Then he took out a piece of paper.

Yu Zhe was startled; he recognized that piece of paper.

Because that's the photo booth picture we just took...

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

(PS: I secretly wrote a chapter during work hours, hehe, so happy! There should be another bonus chapter tonight, and I'm asking for monthly votes again at the beginning of the month! It really means a lot to me, thank you everyone, I'm so grateful!)

46. ​​I'll go with you tomorrow (bonus chapter)

Yu Zhe was stunned; he hadn't expected Zi Xiao to act so quickly.

But that's all. He had nothing to be nervous about. Let him watch; he hadn't done anything wrong.

Zixiao, holding the photo booth picture, had a variety of expressions that changed: first surprise, then envy, and then an expression that Yuzhe couldn't quite understand.

Finally, she put the photo sticker back into Yu Zhe's shirt pocket, smoothed out the wrinkles, and hung the shirt on the hanger.

"Did you take this photo today, brother?"

"Yeah, just now, there's an amusement park outside Century Square. I'll take you and Yuche there next time."

"Okay... But speaking of which, brother said he was going out to play with Sister Xinye. So, Senior Sister Xiaomeng is going too?"

"No... I ran into Xiaomeng by chance when I was walking quickly. She was walking her dog and then she had to go buy groceries."

"Yes, brother, you don't need to explain further. I believe you."

You clearly don't believe me! I can tell from the way you keep scrutinizing me!

Sure enough, even as Zixiao continued to say that, she herself moved closer to Yuzhe.

Then... he circled around Yu Zhe several times, almost making Yu Zhe dizzy.

"Zixiao? What are you beating around the bush for?"

"Brother...you still smell like other girls."

"???"

Before Yu Zhe could react, he met Zi Xiao's sharp, jealous gaze.

terrible!

Yu Zhe quickly recalled today's itinerary and hurriedly explained, "Haha...you mean Lu Ling and Lu Yao, right? They came along with me to protect me when we went to the movies. Yes, didn't you ask them to come with me? Look, there's your water bottle too."

He placed Zixiao's water glass on the table next to him.

Although Zixiao still had some doubts, she seemed to have no choice but to accept the water glass.

"That's true... and what about this?"

Zixiao picked up a white hair from Yuzhe's coat and showed it to him.

Oh, isn't that Xue'er's fur? I guess it got on her when she was petting her. She's Xiaomeng's Samoyed.

but…

Are you playing detective?!

Oh no, Yu Zhe realized something: Zi Xiao seemed to be extremely jealous, and she wouldn't give up until she got to the bottom of it.

Zixiao is like this now. She got home at five o'clock, and after cooking, she waited and waited, thinking that her brother would be back by six-thirty at the latest. But when eight o'clock came, there was still no sign of him. She waited on the sofa for several hours. How could she not feel wronged?

Yu Zhe was speechless for a moment, but he blurted out, "That's from Xue'er's body. That little guy is very cute."

"Xue'er?!" Zi Xiao was terrified, her face turning pale. "Which vixen is Xue'er?!"

"Xue'er isn't human... she's a dog."

Zixiao was completely confused: "Brother, you're right to scold me, but I still need to know which vixen it is!"

"It really is a dog! I mean, a dog in the biological sense, a Samoyed, the Samoyed that Luo Xiaomeng keeps, Zixiao, do you understand?"

“Ah…Samoyed…” Zixiao understood. “I’m sorry, brother…I misunderstood. Looking at it now, it really is animal fur.”

"You noticed it from the start..."

She didn't notice at first, but Yu Zhe thought it might not be true.
