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

Yu Zhe's first reaction was to actually look up, but he immediately realized that it definitely wasn't referring to the upper floors here.

So... you guys used to live upstairs from my apartment?

But weren't there residents living there before?

Lu Ling added, "And downstairs... we can move freely between these two floors. We'll go to whichever side is best for ensuring the young master's safety and wait there."

Good heavens, so you guys are the ones living upstairs and downstairs from me!

Yes, there's also Qin Ruoke next to her.

Is this considered being surrounded?

At this point, Yu Zhe was confused: "How did you move there? I remember there used to be people upstairs and downstairs from me?"

"Young master, as long as there are funds, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Lu Ling explained this simple and easy-to-understand principle: "Miss Yu Che gave us a lot of money, specifically three times the price of the apartment you rented. Your upstairs and downstairs neighbors received the money and moved out happily."

Su! Yu! Che!

It really is you! I was wondering why I hadn't seen my old neighbor lately!

Yu Zhe sighed and rubbed his forehead. He was determined to catch that girl when he got out and teach her a lesson.

As for the two sisters...

"Alright... The apartment is already rented, so I won't say anything like asking you to move out, after all, you're my official bodyguards."

After saying that, Yu Zhe reached out and gently stroked the tops of the two sisters' heads as they lay on the bed, one on each side: "But you have to heal your injuries first. Once you're completely healed, report to me at the apartment immediately, understand?"

"understand!"

"Um…"

This is not only their promise to Yu Zhe, but also their promise to themselves.

Well, now that I'm a full-fledged bodyguard, I feel like I can rightfully follow the young master around!

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

The main entrance of the villa.

"Yu Che, what excuse do you have?"

Yu Zhe rolled down the car window and looked calmly at Yu Che, who was standing motionless outside.

To be precise, she dared not move.

She had already guessed that her brother would definitely ask about where Lu Ling and Lu Yao lived!

"Haha... Brother, look, it's so late. Why not stay for dinner? Cooking on the way back is such a hassle, and there might not even be any ingredients at home, right..."

You're just trying to fool me, you're just going to keep fooling me!

But isn't Zixiao right next to Yuzhe?

She said with a smile, "Don't worry, we have everything at home. Lunch can be heated up and eaten. Yu Che, you don't need to worry. Now you can continue to make excuses."

"you…!"

Well, this Su Zixiao always finds the perfect opportunity to sabotage things; she's utterly ungrateful!

Before Yu Che could even voice her complaint, Yu Zhe reached out the window and delivered a chop to her head, startling Yu Che's silver hair, which trembled from head to toe.

But that's all there is to it.

"I'll deal with you next time," Yu Zhe laughed. "Try not to interfere with other people's normal lives. Didn't I tell you that a long time ago? Although my poor neighbors all got a lot of money, it's still not good."

"I know..."

Yu Che didn't feel any pain from Yu Zhe's hit because he hadn't used any force at all; Yu Che even managed to push further.

Chi took Yu Zhe's hand and rubbed it against her own face.

And he said in a very soft voice, "Hehe... I'll do it again next time."

If Yu Che can help her brother, she'll definitely do it again next time!

Yu Zhe just didn't hear those words. If he had, he would have definitely given her another beating.

As soon as Yu Zhe reached his hand back, Zi Xiao took it from him.

"Ok?"

Looking over in confusion, I noticed that from an angle where Yu Che couldn't see, Zi Xiao naturally covered Yu Zhe's hand with her left hand, as if she was showing off to Yu Che.

Hmm... Little sister, you need to make your show of force so that Yu Che can at least see it, otherwise what's the point!

"Hey bro, I'll come visit you this weekend. You have to make it up to me about the photo booth thing, okay?"

"You know that too... Okay, okay, I'll play with you this weekend."

"Great!"

While Yu Che was jumping around, Yu Zhe quickly told the maid who was driving to start the car and head back towards the west side of the city.

Yu Zhe waved to Yu Che through the car window. He thought this younger sister was really scary. She was talking about making up for it earlier... It must be because he, Sister Ye, and Zi Xiao took a photo booth without her, so she was a little unhappy.

The problem is, how do you know I even took a selfie?!

Never mind, sometimes I should spend more time with Yuche.

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

There was some traffic on the way, and by the time I got back to the apartment, it was already late at night, almost 10 p.m.

Zixiao, who had just taken the opportunity to confront Yuche, realized that there was indeed something wrong as she walked into the apartment next to Yuzhe.

It's too late, and my brother hasn't had dinner yet. He said he'd heat up his lunch, but that was just a joke he made when he was teasing Yu Che. Zi Xiao would never heat up leftovers when she cooks for Yu Zhe; that's her principle.

It takes so much time to cook again... My brother must be really hungry.

Yu Zhe glanced at her and saw Zi Xiao's worried expression. He knew exactly what Zi Xiao was thinking.

Upon reaching the second floor, the apartment door was just a few meters away.

Yu Zhe stopped: "Don't worry about such a small thing. We can order takeout. Besides, if you want to cook, I can wait. Um... of course, I can cook too."

Zixiao looked surprised: "Does brother know what I'm thinking?"

"It's practically written all over your face. You don't need to put on a brave face in front of Yu Che. It's just dinner."

"But…"

I just can't do anything with you.

To avoid making Zixiao feel guilty, Yuzhe rang the doorbell when he passed by Qin Ruoke's house.

Then she shouted, "Xiao Ruoke!! Do you have any leftovers from dinner? Can you share some with me?!"

Just shout it out, that's all. Now that we know, there's no one up or down the stairs! There's no disturbance to the neighbors.

60. Just accept what you're told to accept.

"Ah, it's here... just a moment."

Qin Ruoke's voice came from inside the door, along with the clattering sound of someone running towards the door in slippers.

She opened the door a moment later.

First, he peeked out, and only after confirming it was Yu Zhe did he fully open the door, making way for him and Zi Xiao to enter the house.

She was wearing a blue floral pajama set. As expected, Qin Ruoke didn't like dresses; she didn't choose a nightgown as her pajama outfit.

"Is that really Yu Zhe? And Zi Xiao, what are you doing so late... Anyway, come in and sit down for a while."

Qin Ruoke couldn't believe her ears just now; she heard Yu Zhe's words clearly.

Do you have any leftovers from dinner at home?

Wow, that's impressive! If it weren't for Yu Zhe's heavenly, gentle voice, Qin Ruoke would have really thought he was a beggar.

Yu Zhe waved his hand with a smile and said, "No, no, we're not going in. Like I said before, I just wanted to ask if there were any leftovers, and if so, could we share some?"

"Leftovers...leftovers? Yu Zhe, are you...are you serious?"

"Yeah, seriously, I'm starving."

"..."

Qin Ruoke was at a loss for words.

You, the eldest son of the prestigious Su family, are asking me, an ordinary person, for leftovers? Could things get any more outrageous?

If it were when she first met Yu Zhe, Qin Ruoke, who was particularly sensitive about her self-esteem, would definitely have felt that Yu Zhe was deliberately humiliating her. But now, Qin Ruoke only has doubts.

If you have any doubts, just ask.

Knowing that Yu Zhe was bound to make another joke, Qin Ruoke immediately focused her attention on Su Zixiao behind her.

"Zixiao, can I ask... what is your brother saying? Is it a popular joke these days? Or some kind of punishment for Truth or Dare...?"

Oh right! They must be playing some game. No wonder it was so strange.

“No…” Su Zixiao looked a little guilty, but she was also quite serious. “Senior Qin Ruoke, actually, we just came back from outside, and it’s already this late… right? So we had a problem making dinner on short notice, so we wanted to ask you for help.”

Waaah, Zixiao is so disappointed. If it weren't so late, how could she have allowed her brother to come to another woman's place for dinner? Cough cough... This is such a strange way of putting it.

"..."

Good grief, so there really is no food to eat.

Qin Ruoke knew that her family didn't order takeout.

Seeing Qin Ruoke still lost in thought, Yu Zhe shook his hair and said, "Oh dear... Ruoke, stop thinking about it! We're in dire need of help! We're starving!"

"Hmm? Oh! Please wait a moment! I'll get it out right away!"

Coming to her senses, Qin Ruoke turned and ran towards the kitchen, returning in just over ten seconds with a delicate little lunchbox.

Zixiao just peeked inside curiously. Wait, are you sure it's leftovers? Can you clean up leftovers that quickly?

After Qin Ruoke arrived

I handed the lunchbox to Yuzhe.

After Qin Ruoke gave permission, Yu Zhe opened the lunchbox and took a look, and Zi Xiao followed him over to take a look as well.
