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

Zixiao watched helplessly as Yuzhe returned to the living room.

She turned around and knocked on the bathroom door: "Little Lychee, open the door, I have some shampoo for you."

"Come on, you're here."

Little Lychee spoke without much confidence. She gently opened the door a crack and tentatively asked.

"Zixiao, you're not angry, are you...? I just wanted a towel, you really mean it?"

"Hmm, who said it was fake? I'm not angry. Here's some shampoo for you. Hurry up and finish washing your hair, I still need to wash mine."

"Waaah, Zixiao, you're such an angel."

Xiao Lizhi reached out and took the shampoo from Zixiao, then planned to close the door.

Before that could happen, Zixiao suddenly exerted her strength and slammed the door shut with a loud bang!

"Ouch!"

There was another loud bang in the bathroom!

Yu Zhe, sitting in the living room, calmly took a sip of tea. "It's good that you're so stubborn. Today it's finally paying off."

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

After taking a bath, Xiao Lizhi came out wearing a large bath towel that wrapped her up tightly. She touched her throbbing head, feeling like crying.

She was still muttering to herself, "Zixiao said she wasn't angry... but she's clearly furious..."

Yu Zhe sat on the sofa, tilted his head back, and said, "So you knew all along. It's just that Zi Xiao is in her room right now. If she heard what you just said, you'd be in for a few more beatings."

That's why I said, "Behave yourself these next few days."

"Brother Yuzhe, go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Okay, then go back to your room and change your clothes first. I'll wash quickly. We'll go to the mall in about ten minutes. If you fall into the lake again this time, I won't fish you out."

"I won't fall in again!"

Little Lychee walked a little shyly to her suitcase and rummaged through it for a while to find clothes she wanted to change into.

Hmm... I should change into a different outfit underneath too.

Huh? Speaking of which...

个…

By the way, the towel was also placed in this box earlier, wasn't it?

And was it Brother Yuzhe who helped get the towel just now?

damn!

Little Lychee's face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment, and she forcefully closed the box.

Then, in a panic, she turned around and shouted at Yu Zhe, who was walking towards the bathroom, "Brother Yu Zhe! This, this!"

"Which one?"

Yu Zhe turned around and saw Xiao Lizhi's eyes wide open, her finger trembling as she pointed at her own suitcase.

Oh, so Yu Zhe knows what's inside. Isn't it just what was covered under the towel earlier?

Hmph, so childish. Let's not criticize Little Lychee anymore; let's save her some face.

Yu Zhe didn't intend to say much, but that didn't mean Xiao Lizhi wouldn't ask. Right now, she really wanted to bury her suitcase!

"Brother Yuzhe!" Little Lychee raised her voice, "Did you see all the clothes in here?!"

"No, I just got you a towel. You can see what you're supposed to see, and I won't see what you're not supposed to see."

What you shouldn't see, you won't see.

Hearing this, Xiao Lizhi felt much relieved. Thank goodness... all the inner clothes were tucked under the towel, so they definitely couldn't be seen.

Sigh, this style of clothing is something Little Lychee has continued since she was a child, so if Brother Yuzhe saw it, he would definitely think it's childish, which would be too embarrassing!

Underneath the towel... oh...

Wait a minute! You took the towel out, so you should have seen it, right?

Before Yu Zhe reached the bathroom door, Xiao Lizhi looked over in surprise.

Yu Zhe, of course, saw her expression. Although he didn't want to criticize her, he couldn't help but have a little bit of a dark side.

So he turned back, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Hey Little Lychee, white is a very pretty and pure color, but those little bear and cat patterns... well, I'm not sure what to say, but they're really cute! I'm going to take a bath!"

"Ahhh! It's not what you see!"

Ke Yuzhe had already walked into the bathroom without any hesitation.

Little Lychee covered her cheeks, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground...

13. Is everything ready? (Bonus chapter)

"Isn't this outfit pretty good too? It's not too flashy."

Zixiao estimated that it was about time, and after going out, she saw Xiaolizhi, who had already changed her clothes, sitting quietly on the sofa waiting.

She had already thrown her Scandinavian-style dress into the washing machine; now she was wearing a simple, long, dark-colored down jacket.

With her blonde hair, the obediently waiting Little Lychee really looked like a young lady. However, the moment she turned around, the expression of shame and indignation on her face immediately brought her back to reality.

"what happened?"

"Ah Zixiao... listen to me, just now... never mind, nothing happened just now."

"Huh? That's strange."

Zixiao didn't mind, and sat opposite her, waiting for Yuzhe to finish showering and come out.

It's not Xiaolizhi's fault. How could she possibly tell Zixiao about the suitcase incident? If she had, wouldn't that have made her the only one who knows about her childish style?

Let's give Xiaolizhi some face!

Just then, the bathroom door slammed open.

Yu Zhe, with a towel on his head, a bath towel draped over his shoulders, steaming from his body, and wearing a pair of small cotton slippers, came out.

It immediately caught the attention of the two people on the sofa.

"Huh? You're all ready? Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and leave right away. Um... why are you all staring at me?"

I wasn't staring at you on purpose.

It's just that it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Even Zixiao, who sees Yuzhe's appearance after taking a bath every day, is like this, let alone Xiaolizhi, who has never seen this scene before.

Yu Zhe's long silver hair, when wet, had a beauty and texture completely different from usual; normally it was flowing and elegant, but this was hazy and indistinct.

Moreover, after taking a shower, a person's skin will appear slightly rosy. Yu Zhe's skin is already very fair, and this slight reddening gives it an indescribable attraction.

Without realizing it, the straightforward Little Lychee blurted out, "...Brother Yuzhe, you're so handsome."

“Little Lychee, I think you might have hurt your head just now, or maybe you didn’t fall hard enough.” Yu Zhe’s eyelids twitched twice. “I’ll emphasize again, don’t use the word ‘beautiful’ on me. It doesn’t sound like a compliment at all.”

Then Yu Zhe went back to his bedroom to change his clothes without looking back.

Before Xiaolizhi could turn her head back, Zixiao looked at her and felt a surge of annoyance, so she simply went over and turned her head back to face the front.

"Stop staring at my brother. It's very rude of you, you know? He's unhappy if you don't look at him."

"But... Zixiao, weren't you watching the whole time too...?"

Little Lychee said aggrievedly, "I can't control my gaze either. I always feel like there's something... um, I can't quite put my finger on it."

"It would feel sacred and awe-inspiring, wouldn't it?"

Zixiao sighed and added some details for her.

"Ah, right!" Little Lychee clenched her left fist and clapped her right palm. "That's the feeling! In short, it's pleasing to the eye. Zixiao, I always felt that we two are actually pretty good-looking, so what is Brother Yuzhe?!"

"Yeah...you'll get used to it. Spending a lot of time with your brother will inevitably lead to some self-doubt, that's normal."

And so, amidst their sighs and lamentations, the two waited until Yu Zhe finished changing his clothes and came out.

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

Strolling along the lakeside, Yu Zhe has now changed into a black crew-neck shirt, which is a good change of clothes, as the knitted sweater he wore earlier was indeed a bit too warm for today's temperature.

Interestingly,

This time, Xiao Lizhi not only didn't walk along the lake, but she also went quite far away, leading Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao to a gravel path more than ten meters away from the lake.

She looked at the calm lake with lingering fear; Yu Zhe's admonition was still echoing in her mind.

"Actually, there's no need to exaggerate like that."

Yu Zhe looked at Xiao Lizhi beside him, her head bowed, staring intently at the distant lake as if facing a formidable enemy.

This is ridiculous.

Zixiao laughed and said, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. It's good to teach her a lesson, heh!"

Sometimes she would play tricks, giving Little Lychee a slight push.

"Ah!" Little did she know that this silly girl would seize the opportunity to hug Yu Zhe's arm. "Ah, Zi Xiao, don't scare me! If you push me, I feel like I'm going to fall into the water again!"

Yu Zhe, whose arm was being held, glanced at Xiao Lizhi, then at Zi Xiao, and shrugged indifferently.

This is not my fault.

Zixiao ruthlessly pulled her to the very edge: "Don't be so jumpy! This is your last warning! If you keep this up, I'll really throw you into the lake!"

"No! No... Please, I won't do it anymore..."

After saying that, Xiao Lizhi simply closed her eyes and walked forward.

You're really hopeless!

Zixiao and Yuzhe exchanged a glance and both gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Yu Zhe's hair wasn't dry just now. He said that letting it air dry before going out is more comfortable than using a hairdryer.

So the sunflower scent that followed had Yu Zhe's unique and pleasant aroma, making Xiao Lizhi, who was following behind, exclaim that the trip was worthwhile!
