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

"No, I won't drink it..."

No more discussion!

Zixiao was already heartbroken by your drinking today, and now you're not even taking your medicine properly!

Once Zixiao got excited, she simply picked up her cup and took a big gulp.

But she didn't swallow; instead, she puffed out her cheeks and kissed Yu Zhe's lips directly.

76. This is Zixiao's time!

Glug... Glug...

The refreshing taste of plain water, mixed with the slightly bitter taste of hangover remedies.

The realistic sensation on his lips made Yu Zhe's eyes widen in surprise.

My consciousness suddenly cleared up considerably.

This process didn't last long; the sip that Zixiao had originally swallowed was now all drunk by Yuzhe.

Zixiao slowly moved her head away from Yuzhe's mouth, took two steps back, and her face was an extremely exaggerated crimson.

She touched her lips with her finger, then feigned composure and averted her gaze: "Hmph...hmph! It's not my fault, not my fault, that brother didn't take his medicine properly..."

Oh no... my heart just won't calm down.

Did they just kiss?

Zixiao calmly reviewed the situation carefully... Hmm, indeed, there was no problem.

Thinking of this, Zixiao suddenly felt weak all over and slumped onto the sofa, quietly looking at Yuzhe across from her with a surprised expression.

Hehe... I, Su Zixiao, am not so bad after all. This is something I can do!

Despite her thoughts, just that one kiss made Zixiao feel lightheaded.

As for Yu Zhe, although he was still feeling dizzy, the faint fragrance that Zi Xiao had carried when she moved seemed to have a greater effect than any hangover cure.

"Wow, wow..."

Yu Zhe's first words were just that.

Upon hearing this murmur, Zixiao quickly looked away again. Could it be that her brother had fully woken up?

However, Yu Zhe then slumped back onto the sofa, just like before, but this time, what he said was different from before.

"Haha... Zixiao has grown up too, that's great."

How did you grow up so fast?! You're still not awake at all!

Can't you even comment on what just happened?!

Despite her inner complaints, Zixiao immediately stood up to check on Yuzhe's condition.

“Zixiao…” Yu Zhe grabbed Zixiao’s wrist, his eyes barely open. “Help me back to my room… before I fall asleep, otherwise… you won’t be able to handle me in a little while.”

His voice grew softer and softer; it seemed that the effects of the alcohol had almost entirely turned into drowsiness.

And how come you're sometimes drunk and sometimes sober!

But Zixiao still followed Yuzhe's advice and supported his health.

"Okay... Brother, slow down, I'll take you back to your room."

Taking one step and stopping frequently, Yu Zhe now has almost no energy left to walk on his own, so all the weight is on Zi Xiao. Although Yu Zhe is very light, Zi Xiao is actually even weaker.

It took a lot of effort to finally help Yu Zhe back to his own bed.

After tucking Yu Zhe in, Zi Xiao looked at his lips once more…

Once again, I can confirm that what I just saw was real.

Zixiao felt like she was dreaming, and even wanted to... kiss him again.

Hey, hey, hey, you're pushing your luck!

Zixiao smiled and shook her head, telling her brother to rest first. It wasn't much of a feat for him to kiss her while he was drunk. Once he sobered up, one day she'd have him take the initiative to kiss her…

Hehe, anyway, I'm really looking forward to it.

After leaving Yu Zhe's room and closing the door for him, Zi Xiao still had a silly grin on her face.

Is it not a feat to kiss your brother while he's drunk?

She was thinking that just now, but now she's changed her mind...

Why isn't that considered a skill?!

Zixiao really lived up to expectations this time!

A belated surge of joy suddenly welled up inside her, and she practically jumped up and down onto the sofa again.

Then, excitedly, I picked up my phone…

What do we do with our phones? Share our joy, of course!

Zixiao found her chat box with Yuche on the chat software. This time, she didn't send any messages and simply made a voice call.

She was trying to figure out how to talk to Yu Che, but she had only thought of a few words when the phone… didn’t connect.

"..."

It was almost midnight, and as far as Zixiao knew, Yuche was usually asleep by then.

I really want to tell her about this, but since she's probably asleep... well...

Then keep fighting!

Zixiao could no longer contain her joy.

If you can't get through on the chat app, just call their mobile phone.

This time, the phone beeped a few times before the call connected!

A lazy voice came through the receiver: "Hello... is this Zixiao...?"

"Mmm! Yu Che, listen to me..."

"Don't speak yet, let me say something first."

Yu Che interrupted Zi Xiao's speech.

"Hmm? Hmm! Go ahead and say it."

"I'll just give you one piece of advice." Yu Che seemed to be gathering his strength.

Then, in her soft voice, she shouted into the phone, "Su Zixiao! Are you crazy?! What time is it?! Can't you even look at the time?! I need to sleep!"

Ugh, she's angry.

Zixiao moved her phone further away to avoid most of the damage.

Yu Che was truly speechless. Only her brother and Zi Xiao knew about her private number, which she kept by her side while sleeping, yet it still managed to wake her up.

"Seriously! I'm not as free as you, you little brat Zixiao. You're on winter break, huh? Happy and carefree, huh? I have a ton of paperwork to deal with at the office tomorrow! Alright, alright, I'm hanging up now if it's not important. We'll talk tomorrow. Ugh, you're driving me crazy. Your nagging is making it hard for me to sleep..."

"Wait a minute! Yu Che! I really have something important to say!"

After she finished complaining, Zixiao finally had a chance to get to the point.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you one minute. Keep it short. Sleep is precious, you know? By the way, is your brother asleep? Have you been making sure he's getting enough sleep? You can't let him stay up late!"

Yu Che can't seem to stop talking about Yu Zhe even when he's talking about something else.

"My brother is already asleep; he went to bed early today."

Then Zixiao took a deep breath and said confidently, "Hehe, and Yuche, listen to me, this is the important part: I've already won my brother's first kiss!"

"..."

There was a long silence.

Zixiao thought it was a bad signal: "Hello? Hello? Yuche? Can you still hear me?"

"I'm listening." Yu Che's tone was completely calm. "I was wondering why you were making a phone call in the middle of the night. Were you still half asleep? Did you take your dream seriously?"

"It's not a dream! It's real!" Zixiao reiterated.

"Yeah, yeah, I believe you, I believe you. You? You think you have the guts? Your brother will respond to you? Don't joke like that. It's not April Fool's Day. Okay, okay, I'm hanging up now. You're really something, taking things from your dreams seriously."

Yu Che doesn't believe it at all!

Zixiao was furious, and she gave him the details: "Listen to me! My brother drank some alcohol today, and I tried to get him to take some hangover medicine, but he wouldn't. So I...I...I just found a way to get him to drink it..."

How can we get him to drink it?

Yu Che was very clever; she immediately understood what Zi Xiao meant by her method.

At this moment, Yu Che sat up and spoke more seriously into his phone.

"Zixiao, are you sure you're not making this up?"

"No! Otherwise, I wouldn't be calling you in the middle of the night for no reason!"

"..."

At this point, Yu Che had to admit that this was indeed something important that was worth calling her to tell her at this particular time.

"So... you took advantage of your brother's incoherent state and, under the guise of hangover medicine, secretly got there first, right?"

"Yu Che, why are you saying such harsh things... although it is indeed the case."

After saying that, Zixiao asked with a hint of worry, "Yuche, are you... angry?"

"Never mind whether I'm angry or not, what's your brother's reaction?"

That tone does sound quite like anger...

Zixiao recalled for a moment and said, "My brother didn't seem to react much... he just looked quite happy, and he even told me that I've grown up and stuff..."

"Oh, I get it. Brother is saying that you're usually so bad at this, but I didn't expect you to have the guts. He's saying you've improved."

"

"?"

So that's what it meant!
