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

Not only Xiao Meng, but Qin Ruoke also gasped in shock.

75. Why aren't you taking your medicine properly?

What does "come back to life" mean?

When Xiaomeng asked this question, her voice trembled slightly; she was most afraid of stories about demons and monsters.

“Ah, that’s not what I meant.” Zixiao said with a wry smile, “I mean, it’s possible that she never actually died, and that she went missing? Yes, something like that.”

At this point, the water boiled, and Zixiao poured tea for the two of them.

Her eyes seemed to be reminiscing about the past: "It's not accurate to say she disappeared. Rather, it's more accurate to say that she hid herself, deliberately avoiding my brother, so that none of us could find her."

"If that's the case, then this mother has gone too far."

Qin Ruoke's assessment was incisive.

She herself had experienced being abandoned by her mother, leaving her alone with her debt-ridden father.

Although Yu Zhe's situation was certainly different from hers, she could tell from Yu Zhe's expression when he was drunk that, no matter the reason, Yu Zhe's mother's actions must have caused Yu Zhe great harm.

This injury may be no less severe than what Qin Ruoke experienced before.

Zixiao took a sip of tea: "Indeed, she went too far, so Yuche and I always try not to mention her in front of my brother."

Xiao Meng is now the most confused. She sees Zi Xiao and Qin Ruo Ke drinking their own tea, seemingly wanting to criticize Yu Zhe's mother.

"?"

It's outrageous that as the only child who has grown up in a complete and happy family, he can't understand this topic at all!

After a while, Qin Ruoke put down her teacup, hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "About this...would it be convenient to tell me about it, the story of Yuzhe's mother?"

Qin Ruoke wanted to know more about Yu Zhe, and she hoped that one day she would have the opportunity to enter his heart.

Therefore, we need to learn more.

Ke Zixiao just smiled and shook her head: "Well... Senior Qin Ruoke, we don't want to talk about our mothers anymore. Let's leave this topic here."

"Okay, I apologize for asking so abruptly."

Qin Ruoke nodded immediately. She had expected this. This matter was indeed quite sensitive. If Zixiao didn't want to talk about it, then she wouldn't ask anymore.

Is Yuzhe asleep?

Xiao Meng looked up and gazed in the direction of Yu Zhe, her two short legs unconsciously swinging in the air.

Then immediately put both feet back on the ground!

Ugh...Sitting here for so long, I can't help but act like a child again...Little Meng is an adult!

"Senior Sister Xiaomeng, what's the time now... pfft..."

Sorry, Zixiao accidentally made her laugh with her childish behavior just now.

I just couldn't help laughing!

"Huh? Zixiao, what's with that laugh?!"

"No...it's nothing. It's just that sometimes I feel that Yu Che looks more like a child...cough cough, he looks younger. But now I think you, senior, are the one who looks the youngest."

"Zixiao, you...you're clearly not related to Yuzhe by blood, but you seem just as sharp-tongued as him in this respect..."

"Hmm? Is there?"

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Qin Ruoke stood up and patted Xiaomeng on the shoulder.

Oh dear, she's even shorter sitting down, so I have to bend over a bit to get a picture.

"Alright, Luo Xiaomeng, look at the time, it's already time for the kids to go to bed."

"Who are you calling a child?! I might be a few months older than you, you know that?!"

What's going on? Why are they suddenly persecuting me, Luo Xiaomeng?

The reason you're having so much trouble patting my shoulder isn't because I'm short, it's just that the sofa base is too low! Hmm...maybe.

Zixiao chuckled at their conversation, then stood up and said, "It is indeed getting late. Senior Sister Xiaomeng probably isn't going home today, it's already this late."

Xiao Meng had just come to her senses when she said, "Ah... I'm going to Qin Ruoke's place."

Have you talked to your parents yet?

"It's settled." But why did Xiaomeng feel so uncomfortable with this question? "I want to reiterate! I'm really not a child!"

"Haha, I was just kidding with you, senior. High school students have to report to their parents if they stay out overnight, right?"

"Hmm...that's true."

Alas, such a short stature makes him lose all authority in front of his juniors!

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

After Luo Xiaomeng angrily drank a cup of tea, the two left.

Zixiao washed the teacup and put it back in the cabinet, then went to Yuzhe's room to peek at him.

Mm, sleeping soundly.

Back in the living room, Zixiao sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time about the various possibilities surrounding Yang Qiuyun.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Zixiao stood up and let out a heavy sigh.

"Sigh, there's no point in thinking about this. I'm going to sleep too..."

She just turned around.

To my surprise, the door to Yu Zhe's room was open.

Yu Zhe first braced himself against the wall with one hand, his silver hair hanging limply. Then he took a few steps, bracing himself against the wall with both hands, and slowly moved toward the living room.

"elder brother!"

Zixiao quickly ran over to support him: "How did you wake up? Is there anything you need? I'll get it for you!"

“Zixiao…”

Speaking of which, only half an hour has passed since Yu Zhe returned, and Zi Xiao can see that there's still quite a bit of drunkenness in his eyes. It seems...

He was not fully conscious, but he should have recovered most of his consciousness.

"I'm a little thirsty, let me have some water..."

"Okay! Brother, you go back to bed first, I'll go get you some water."

"No need..." With Zixiao's help, Yuzhe moved closer to the sofa. "I can pour it myself. Just get me a cup."

First, Zixiao helped Yuzhe sit down steadily on the sofa. Then, she took a cup, adjusted the water temperature for Yuzhe, and handed him the warm water.

After seeing Yu Zhe take a small sip, Zi Xiao asked with concern, "Brother, are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy?"

"Apart from seeing you turning around, everything seems normal..."

"That's completely abnormal! That's why I said you can't handle alcohol at all, brother!"

Isn't that abnormal? After saying that, Yu Zhe curled up on the sofa, which meant he wanted to sleep right there.

"Brother... if you want to sleep, I'll help you back to bed. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here."

Zixiao shook his body, but received only one word in response: "No..."

Hey! Zixiao has a temper too!

"How about I have another sip of water?"

"not good…"

"Brother, don't be so willful!"

"no…"

angry!

"Brother, you..."

Zixiao was about to say something, but she swallowed her words and held her breath...

Because of Yu Zhe, he's now lying on the side of the sofa, smiling so happily.

In a hazy state, Zixiao only heard Yuzhe's soft murmur.

The voice seemed to transcend time, bringing relief yet also filling one with nostalgia.

"Mom...where are you...?"

"..."

Perhaps... only at times like this can I hear my brother's true feelings...

For some reason, the moment Zixiao heard these words, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

If Yu Che were here, he would definitely hug his brother to comfort him.

Zixiao gently reached out and stroked Yuzhe's long hair, seemingly trying to comfort him.

You just said... you're still feeling dizzy, right...?

Zixiao rummaged in her shirt pocket and took out the hangover medicine she had just bought. Her brother had been asleep and didn't need to drink it, but now it seemed necessary to give it to him first.

Zixiao dissolved the hangover medicine in water in a cup, tasted the water herself to make sure it was warm enough, and then helped Yuzhe up and held the medicine to his lips.

"Brother... take your medicine. It will help relieve your dizziness a bit. You'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

Little did anyone know that Yu Zhe might have smelled the medicine, and he turned his head slightly to the side.

"I won't drink..."

"Just a little bit is fine..."

"Um... I don't want to drink..."

So, Zixiao does have a temper too!

Yu Zhe was feeling dizzy, how could she not be worried! She had to make you drink it no matter what!

"Brother! You can't be so willful! You're not going to drink, are you!"
