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

Xiao Lan picked up the large bag of cookies and said to Xiao Lizhi, "Miss, I'll take these things and deal with them first. After this incident, I finally discovered the mole in our kitchen. Thank you."

"Ah...you're welcome..."

Xiao Lan grabbed Xiao Qing by the back of her collar and dragged her away.

Little Lychee silently returned to the car and hugged the remaining half bag of delicious cookies that Lu Yao had given her earlier.

Oh, cookies without herring—now I realize how wonderful you are.

31. Is there an opportunity?

Little Lychee, you've had it tough too.

Seeing how miserable she was, Yu Zhe quietly shared some of his bag of cookies with her.

They looked at each other in silence, and she accepted the kindness.

"Brother Yuzhe... Herring-flavored cookies, can you believe it?" Little Lychee was still completely bewildered.

"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, I didn't eat it anyway. Okay, stop thinking about it, go upstairs and take a nap."

Oh, little lychee, everyone's joys and sorrows are different, but at least we should forget the troubles of the past and live in the present.

Cough cough, so Yu Zhe has absolutely no desire to know what that cookie tasted like.

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

As expected of Little Lychee, only a few minutes had passed, and when we got upstairs, this guy quickly regained his energy. Because he couldn't bear to continue eating the normal cookies, he grabbed a bag of cookies instead and sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Lu Ling and Lu Yao did not come along; they had other work to do.

That being said...

Yu Che only noticed now that Xiao Lizhi had actually followed him upstairs. Could it be that she's staying here now?

Um... Actually, Xiao Lizhi also wanted to say hello to Yu Che properly. Although she had met him at the birthday party before, they weren't that close. Xiao Lizhi may be energetic in front of familiar people, but she is quite introverted in front of unfamiliar people.

This is evident from the fact that he was hesitant to speak during speeches at previous school events.

And she's been staring at me the whole time! Little Lychee was pretending to watch TV, but she still broke out in a cold sweat from being stared at.

Yu Che was sitting at the dining table when Yu Zhe noticed that she kept staring at Xiao Lizhi's back, so he went over and patted Yu Che on the shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Che grabbed Yu Zhe's hand with her mischievous little paws: "I'm looking at that brat from the Ouyang family over there. Brother, aren't you going to explain this to me?"

"You called her a brat... You're only a little older than her... And what do you want me to explain?"

Zixiao is preparing lunch in the kitchen.

She overheard this conversation while looking for ingredients in the refrigerator, so she told Yu Che.

"She's my classmate, huh? You two met before, right, Little Lychee? She's staying with us for a few days for some reason."

"You talk too much." Yu Che waved his hand. "Go and cook your meal. I'm asking my brother. Don't I know who she is? I'm asking for the more fundamental reason."

They've started being mysterious and sarcastic again.

When she started to argue, Zixiao couldn't handle it, so she reluctantly went back to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Seeing Zixiao walk back, Yuche asked again, "So what's your explanation, brother?"

"So what?" Yu Zhe was completely confused. "She's Zi Xiao's classmate, she came to our house to play, it's that simple."

"Hehe, it's that simple~ Brother, you can't hide it from your little sister."

That guy from the Ouyang family, the way he looked at my brother in the car just now was obviously weird.

When her brother fed Lu Yao cookies, Yu Che saw the envy and longing in her eyes.

That was clearly not because he was craving cookies.

To save face for Xiao Lizhi who was watching TV, Yu Che deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Yu Zhe sitting next to him.

"Brother, didn't I already tell you? I won't object to you having a harem, but I need to test whether the people you choose are worthy of being by your side. Take this one from the Ouyang family, for example. She's so dull-witted. We need to give her more tests. So, brother, have you accepted her or not? Give me a straight answer."

"I'll take your big head!"

Yu Zhe gently tapped her head and whispered, "There's no such thing as a relationship these days. I just think she's a pretty interesting junior."

"It's bound to happen sooner or later. If you find it interesting, that's the first step. Don't I know you, brother?"

Yu Che chuckled as he touched the little head that Yu Zhe had lightly tapped.

Well, speaking of which, Yu Che just remembered that he hasn't gone over to greet that brat from the Ouyang family yet. Her name is Ouyang Lizhi, right?

After saying a few more words to Yu Zhe, Yu Che got up and walked over to the sofa.

Little Lychee sensed danger and sat up straight.

So it's dangerous for Yu Che to get close!

Yu Che slowly sat down on the sofa opposite her, elegantly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing.

Little Lychee thought to herself that she had to stand up for herself and not be so timid!

So she spoke first: "Um... little..."

"stop."

Without saying a word, Yu Che interrupted her: "You're planning to call me 'little sister,' right? Let me make this clear first, I'm older than you. I'm in the same grade as my brother. Please keep that in mind."

Oh no! Little Lychee was a bit nervous and forgot about this!

The main reason is that Yu Che looks very young!

In this respect, Yu Che and Luo Xiaomeng are very similar; they both hate the word "small," which may be a sore spot for lolis.

Little Lychee had a flash of inspiration and tried hard to come up with a more suitable name.

"Then... Sister Yuche?"

“That’s more like it.” Yu Che said with satisfaction. “So, Ouyang Lizhi, I’ll just be blunt: do you have feelings for my brother?”

If you have any ideas, just say them. Don't hold back. If you can't get past Yu Che, then no matter how many ideas you have, you won't get them!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Little Lychee nearly choked on her tea when asked this unexpected question.

Are you really that direct?

Indeed, decisiveness and efficiency are the reasons why Yu Che has shone brightly in the business world over the years.

Saying whatever comes to mind is the most efficient way to be.

Little Lychee immediately turned around in alarm, looking at the dining table where Yu Zhe had been sitting.

Thankfully... Brother Yuzhe went back to his room; he didn't hear the conversation.

Turning back now, Yu Che was still waiting for Xiao Lizhi's answer.

She muttered to herself, looking confused.

"Ideas and such..."

Little Lychee blushed; in fact, this had already given Yu Che some answers.

But she felt she could still struggle a little longer: "Thoughts...what...I...I just think Brother Yuzhe is amazing, handsome, good at studying, capable of everything, gentle, thoughtful, and always helps me..."

"..."

This girl has no longer just blushed and betrayed her own thoughts; she has actually revealed everything on her mind.

You're so honest.

Even so, Yu Che still said what she wanted to say.

"Admiration and love alone are not enough. Although I may be going a bit too far, I still have to say that you are not qualified to be by your brother's side as you are now."

Yes, Yu Che is fully qualified to make this judgment. Yu Che is the most important person in Yu Zhe's heart. As the guardian of Yu Zhe's heart, Yu Che is of course also the gatekeeper of Yu Zhe's harem!

Without Yu Che's permission, it's impossible to get close to Yu Zhe.

But perhaps Yu Che's strict requirements also stem from her own selfish motives... Although she doesn't object to Yu Zhe having a harem, she still gets jealous, and even if she doesn't say it, she's probably just as jealous as Zi Xiao, who's known for her intense jealousy...

Want to be my sister-in-law? Haha, you'd better think twice about whether you're even worthy.

Seeing how clear Yu Che's words were, Xiao Lizhi, though not quite understanding, felt a little panicked: "Then...then I...I'll eat less from now on..."

"..."

Alright, now you're even less qualified; you're just a glutton.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Yu Che said with a wry smile, "Wanting to stay by my brother's side isn't something you can do with naivety. Well, you'll understand in time."

Just like in the student council, Little Lychee grew from a mascot into a person known as...

Like a student council president.

She needs to keep improving.

"However, now you have a chance to prove yourself."

Thinking of something funny, Yu Che gave a mischievous smile.

The opportunity may not come, but my real purpose is to give you a little nudge.

32. Why did you run away? (Bonus Chapter)

"Opportunity? Sister Yuche, what do you mean by opportunity?"

Little Lychee perked up; she desperately needed an opportunity.

Just as Yu Che said, Xiao Lizhi is not worthy of staying by Yu Zhe's side at all... Xiao Lizhi knows this better than anyone else.

After all, she's just a glutton who can't do anything but eat.

But she didn't realize that as Yu Che, a sister who was extremely doting on her brother, how could she possibly create an opportunity for her?

Seeing that Xiao Lizhi had taken the bait, Yu Che appeared serious on the surface, but in his heart he had already begun to chuckle. Today he was going to teach these wildflowers a lesson.

Let me show you the anger of the family flower.

"Ouyang Lizhi." Yu Che deliberately put on a serious expression. "Listen, when your brother comes out of his room, do whatever I tell you to do. This is one of your few chances."

Upon hearing this, the innocent Little Lychee was immediately infected by the atmosphere: "Understood! Sister Yuche! I will definitely do as you say!"
