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

"Yes, why wouldn't it count?"

"This is wonderful! This is wonderful!"

Is it really that good? Little Lychee is getting too excited.

However, hearing her making such a fuss on the phone so early in the morning made Yu Zhe feel that the morning was much more pleasant and energetic.

It's really good.

After she finished having fun, Yu Zhe said into the phone, "That's all for now. I haven't had breakfast yet. As for the promised reward, you can come over whenever you want."

"Okay! Goodbye, Brother Yuzhe!"

Yu Zhe tossed his phone onto the sofa and turned to look at Zi Xiao, who seemed much calmer now.

However, she remained seated on the sofa, muttering, "Sigh... I've kept being number one in the grade, but I still feel a sense of defeat..."

"Okay, okay, isn't this fine too?"

Yeah, I understand. Being tied for first place with a little idiot makes me feel like my IQ has been dragged down a lot.

Rather, Yu Zhe was a little surprised that Xiao Lizhi performed so well in this exam. Although she was usually a bit silly, Yu Zhe knew that her IQ seemed to suddenly return during exams.

However, being first in the grade isn't something you can achieve just by being clever.

Xiao Lizhi must have worked hard before the exam, which can be seen from the faint dark circles under her eyes when she took the math exam the day before yesterday.

Even a little fool can put in a lot of effort.

Having fully adjusted her mindset, Zixiao encouraged herself again: "Okay! That's all for now. Little Lychee, I'll remember this. See you next exam!"

That's good. Little Lychee, keep up the good work. If you can become Zixiao's rival, it should help you both improve.

Zixiao had finished looking at her own grades, and then she picked up Yuzhe's phone, which he had tossed on the sofa.

"By the way, how are your brother's grades? Your class group should have posted the report card, right?"

"Yes, it's been sent, but I haven't checked it yet. Zixiao, could you take a look for me? I'm going to wash up now."

Yu Zhe spoke casually, showing none of the tension students usually feel when checking their grades.

"Brother, aren't you even a little bit nervous?!" Zixiao said helplessly.

"What's there to be nervous about? Just take the test. Besides, what rank I get doesn't really matter. At least it won't affect my breakfast of a few pieces of bread and scrambled eggs."

Wow, that's such a down-to-earth description.

Yu Zhe went to the washroom to wash up, and Zi Xiao, as he had just asked, helped him check his grades.

Zixiao knew Yuzhe's phone unlock password, and Yuzhe knew Zixiao's phone password as well. For the siblings, their phones were practically passwordless to each other.

After unlocking, Zixiao found the class group and opened the senior year report card.

Without looking at anything else, I immediately focused my gaze on the person ranked first in the grade in the first row.

As expected, Yu Zhe's name was indeed there.

Zixiao ignored everything else, first hummed, and then picked up her phone to admire the report card.

Hmph, as expected of my brother, he's really amazing!

Zixiao looked at Yuzhe's first place in the grade and felt even more proud than when she herself had just been first in the grade.

Then I put my report card on my phone together with Yu Zhe's phone...

Hehe, Su Yuzhe, the top student in the senior year, and Su Zixiao, the top student in the junior year, I'm satisfied!

The two "first"s complement each other perfectly.

So Zixiao said, "The little lychee that's tied for first place is really an eyesore!"

She put down her phone, just as Yu Zhe returned after washing up.

"Have you finished watching? What's my number?"

"First place, and without any suspense. Now that I've seen the report card, I feel like I didn't even need to look at my brother's grades to know the result."

"Haha, no way! I wasn't sure about the exam myself either."

I had no confidence at all. I don't even know what kind of test I did. After finishing it, I just started doodling comics.

Yu Zhe picked up his phone from the sofa and glanced at the rankings and scores.

"699... Why do I always lose one or two points? I really don't understand."

Zixiao just doesn't understand you! You were just saying you weren't sure, so why are you upset about losing a point now?!

However, a score of 699 is simply outrageous. You should know that for a perfect score of 700, the difficulty of the exams for senior high school students and junior high school students is actually quite similar. Even if the scope of the exams is different, they are still comparable.

Zixiao and Xiaolizhi tied for first place in the grade, but their total score was only 667. How come the older brother got 699?!

Even without comparing them like that, looking at the second-highest scorer in the senior year, Qin Ruoke, he already has 671 points.

This shows that Yu Zhe's exam performance was indeed a game-changer compared to others.

"Hmm... Xiao Ruoke secured second place, not bad, not bad. Oh my, Xiao Meng actually made it into the top ten of the grade, what a good little girl."

Seeing her brother analyzing the grades, Zixiao waited until he finished reading and put his phone back in his pocket before speaking.

"Brother, your class reunion is tonight, right?"

"Yes, that's what was said in the group chat just now."

"About what we didn't finish talking about last night," Zixiao said seriously. "Although I promised not to go with you, we must agree on three rules."

Seeing this, Yu Tetsuya

He became serious: "My dear sister, please give me your instructions."

"First, you can't drink alcohol, and you can't drink even if someone offers you one. Second, you can't come back too late. The dinner party should be about three hours long. If your classmates have other activities after dinner, like going to karaoke or watching a movie, I'll try not to go. Third, you need to sit next to Qin Ruoke and Luo Xiaomeng. I've already told them to keep an eye on you."

Please keep an eye on me... Why do you say that? It sounds like I'm someone who would get lost if I'm not watched closely enough.

After listening, Yu Zhe smiled wryly and said, "Okay, okay, but the first rule is that you can't not drink at all, right? Although I've never participated in high school dinners, I've heard that drinking a little alcohol is a very common thing."

You can't just say "I'm not drinking!" when someone raises their glass!

"Brother, couldn't you just say you're allergic to alcohol? Oh well... I've already told the two senior students that they won't let you drink."

"..."

It has to be said that Zixiao has a very tight grip on Yuzhe.

65. Hoping to walk a little longer (bonus chapter)

"Zixiao, I'm going to leave now. I won't be back too late."

"Okay, wait a minute, brother, you should wear a scarf. They say it's going to get colder tonight."

"also."

Qin Ruoke came from next door to wait for Yu Zhe because she was going to leave with him.

Sitting on the sofa, she watched Su Zixiao and Yu Zhe acting like an old married couple, and her eyelids twitched.

Sometimes she couldn't help but think that Yu Zhe wasn't just raising Su Zixiao like a younger sister; he was treating her like a girlfriend.

Zixiao wrapped the scarf around Yuzhe's neck and turned to Qin Ruoke to give her another instruction.

"Senior Qin Ruoke, I'm entrusting my brother to you in a bit. Please come back early after the dinner. If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Ruoke, wearing the black and white shirt that Yu Zhe had given her last time, stood up and walked towards the door. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Yu Zhe tonight."

"..."

These words sounded so uncomfortable that Zixiao's pretty eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Qin Ruoke immediately realized that her statement was inappropriate and hurriedly explained, "No, I mean, Luo Xiaomeng and I will definitely keep an eye on Yuzhe and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Ah That's good."

At this point, Qin Ruoke added, "And Zixiao, you don't need to worry so much. Actually, everyone in our class is a good person. I think you, being in Class S as well, should understand that."

"Yes, I know that classes with good grades definitely have a much better overall environment." Then Zixiao changed the subject, "But Senior Qin Ruoke, you need to know that I need to make sure everything goes perfectly regarding my brother's matter. You should understand that, right?"

The question was immediately thrown back at me.

With Yu Che away, Zi Xiao felt that, in the face of these "wildflowers," she, as the younger sister, had to maintain the dignity of the "family flower."

Zixiaocai, that's in comparison to Yuche. Actually... well, apart from lacking courage, she's not that bad!

When asked this question, Qin Ruoke was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately assured him, "Okay, I understand, everything will be fine."

Seeing her make such a promise, Zixiao finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey, alright, alright, are you guys making solemn vows here? It's just a classmate reunion."

Yu Zhe pushed Qin Ruoke towards the door, then turned to Zi Xiao and said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving now. Zi Xiao, you can prepare dinner yourself. You're not allowed to skip dinner while I'm not home."

"Okay, I know. Be careful on the road, brother. Hey, zip up your jacket, it's very windy outside!"

"Okay, okay, you should go back now. My zipper is already zipped all the way up."

Yu Zhe zipped up his coat and then quickly and quietly closed the door.

Goodness, his mother had never cared about him like this before, but Yu Zhe felt pretty good about it. Having a sister like this was definitely a blessing, wasn't it?

Although there was a bit of a chilly wind outside, it wasn't particularly cold overall; it could be described as a mild winter.

The two walked down the stairs of the apartment building, and Qin Ruoke draped a pink coat she was holding over her shoulders.

"It's not too cold today, is it?" Yu Zhe asked, puzzled. "The shirt I gave you is actually quite thick, and you like it quite a bit, so why are you wearing another one to cover yourself up?"

"No...you've misunderstood."

Qin Ruoke buttoned up her pink coat: "I really like the shirt inside. We're having a dinner party later, and I'm worried about oil splattering on it, so I'm wearing another coat."

Why are you wearing that shirt out then?

Yu Zhe didn't know, but Qin Ruoke did. Wasn't she going to walk with Yu Zhe on the way and come back together? Wearing the shirt Yu Zhe gave her would definitely feel different!

In short, it's something I wore for Yu Zhe to see!

The only thing that made Qin Ruoke a little uncomfortable was that when Yu Zhe gave her this dress, he said that in his memory, there was a girl who often wore this style of clothing.

Honestly... don't use her to find memories of other girls... although Qin Ruoke wouldn't ask any more questions, Yu Zhe didn't seem to want to talk about this matter.

As Yu Zhe walked towards the apartment entrance, he looked at the location of the dinner party that Xiao Meng had sent on his phone and said...
