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

Hmph, Little Lychee doesn't care what she learns; she's happy as long as she can learn from Brother Yuzhe.

After seeing Xiaolizhi off, Yuzhe was still trying to click on the next level of the chess software, but he couldn't.

Oh, so you've already completed the highest difficulty level?

So this year's chess-playing software is no good.

Yu Zhe turned off his phone screen and leaned back on the sofa.

He closed his eyes and quickly went through the details of the game in his mind.

A short while later, he smelled a faint aroma of tea in front of him, and felt a sudden increase in weight on his legs...

"Brother, have you finished reading? Have some tea and take a rest."

Zixiao placed a cup of tea on the coffee table, and Yuzhe truly felt that it was wonderful to have such a sensible younger sister!

Unlike Su Yuche, who is now sitting on Yu Zhe's lap again, only adding to his weight.

"Thank you, Zixiao. And Yuche, what are you doing now?"

Yu Che leaned against Yu Zhe's chest, looked up and said, "Hmm? Brother, you've been playing chess for over an hour."

This matter has really troubled Zixiao. She has been complaining in the room since earlier, saying things like, "Isn't my brother tired?" "Isn't this bad for his cervical spine?" "Sigh, I can't interrupt him. He should take breaks while playing chess."

Such words gave Yu Che a headache.

Finally, seeing Yu Zhe put down his phone, one of them handed him tea, while the other pressed down on Yu Zhe's lap.

Seemingly sensing what the two were thinking, Yu Zhe sighed and said, "That's enough. The main thing is to get a feel for it."

"Has your brother found his rhythm yet?" Zixiao asked.

Yu Zhe took a sip of tea: "It's alright, it's not a big problem."

"If you ask me, brother, if you're only doing this to win or lose, then this practice seems completely pointless."

Yu Zhe looked down at Yu Che's upturned head: "What do you mean by that?"

"Because I feel that you, brother, seem to lack a proper understanding of your own chess skills."

Yu Che said casually, "You know, if I want to beat you at chess, I think all of humanity would need to work together to build a computer specifically for playing chess. Well... no, even if we had such a computer, we might not be able to beat you."

"You're exaggerating that a bit too much!"

Yu Che truly deserves to be called the world's number one Yu Zhe fan. This isn't an exaggeration; she genuinely believes that's the truth, even if it sounds a bit far-fetched.

At first, Zixiao also thought that this was a bit outrageous, but then she thought... You know what, even if there was such a computer, whether she could beat her brother was really unknown.

Back then, everyone in Fenghai City knew about Yang Qiuyun's abilities. She also loved playing chess. However, when her brother was only ten years old, he defeated Yang Qiuyun in a game of chess, and that was without either of them holding back.

Zixiao still remembers the look of surprise, delight, disbelief, and utter astonishment on Aunt Yang's face at that time.

She could show that kind of expression; Zixiao had almost never seen it before.

It's hard to imagine how much his brother's chess skills have evolved eight years later.

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

With Little Lychee there for dinner, the atmosphere became much more lively.

Just before going to bed, Little Lychee suddenly remembered a very important question.

So, is Sister Yuche staying at the apartment today?

Oh no...it's all over. There's only one guest room, and Little Lychee is occupying it now.

Where should Sister Yuche stay?

Realizing what she should do now, Little Lychee went to her room and shakily carried out a thick quilt.

It was thrown onto the sofa.

Yu Zhe had just come out of the washroom when he saw this and asked in confusion, "What are you doing there?"

"Getting ready for bed?" Little Lychee replied. "Let Sister Yuche stay in the guest room, I'm fine, I can sleep on the sofa."

"I think you're overthinking it..."

Yu Zhe sighed, helped her lift the blanket, and prepared to carry it back to her own room.

"Hey? Brother Yuzhe! Don't move it back for me!"

Moving it here was such a hassle!

Yu Zhe turned to look at her and said, "You don't understand. If only Yu Che could sleep peacefully in her own room. Anyway, just sleep peacefully in your own room, it's fine."

Little Lychee was confused: "But where does Sister Yuche sleep? I can't make her squeeze in with Zixiao just because of me."

Little Lychee is really sensible; she doesn't have the willfulness and capriciousness of a spoiled young lady at all, and she's always thinking of others.

Yu Zhe appreciates this point, but she's mistaken about one thing.

"No, Little Lychee, she's not going to share a bed with Zixiao, she's going to share with me. And even if there's a spare room, she still wants to sleep here with me. Don't ask, asking too much only brings helplessness."

"?"

Yu Zhe helped her put the blanket back on her bed, then turned and left, returning to his own room.

Little Lychee came out of the room and saw that after Brother Yuzhe returned to his room, Sister Yuche happily followed him in with a pillow, and then closed the door.

Little Lychee was shocked! So this is what a big shot is like! Is this the privilege of a younger sister?! Even Zixiao can't do this!

That's right, Zixiao definitely couldn't do it.

Zixiao is so kind, she definitely wouldn't be like Yuche, clinging to Yuzhe like an octopus when she sleeps.

Goodnight, brother!

"Goodnight...and could you please stop hugging me so tightly before I'm asleep?! Get some sleep!"

34. Dinner is served!

The next morning, Yu Zhe woke up with a real backache. Don't get me wrong, it was purely because Yu Che was a restless sleeper.

If you're going to sleep, just go to sleep. Why are you holding me so tightly? Do you think I'm going to run away?

Obtained

Alright, no need to sleep in anymore. It's not even eight o'clock yet, and Yu Zhe has already been woken up by Yu Che.

It wasn't that she was woken up, but rather that Yu Che was holding Yu Zhe's head tightly while sleeping. So Yu Zhe's face was stuck against her chest. Don't even mention it, it felt like a steel plate, so uncomfortable.

"Yu Che, hey Su Yu Che, get up quickly, the sun is already high in the sky."

After saying this, Yu Che released Yu Zhe and "writhed" downwards.

This time, she nestled into Yu Zhe's arms.

"Hmm... I'll sleep a little longer."

"Alright..." Yu Zhe reluctantly moved to the side. "Then you can continue sleeping. I'm getting up first."

This girl usually works very hard, so it's a good thing for her to rest more.

But Yu Zhe won't play along! You're resting, and while I might enjoy being held by you a little, it's mostly torture!

Sigh, can't you wait until you have Sister Ye's passionate and broad-minded nature before you come and hug me to sleep?

Little did they know that Yu Che had followed the direction Yu Zhe was retreating in and moved a little further towards him.

"No... Brother, sleep with me."

"So why do you sometimes act like an eight-year-old..."

"Um... I'm just a kid..."

Alright, here comes the morning coaxing again about when to wake up.

Her voice was soft and indistinct, clearly indicating that she was still asleep.

There's no way around it; Yu Zhe is essentially a doting brother to his sister.

He sat up straight, leaned against the edge of the bed, and gently stroked Yu Che's long hair, which was messy from sleeping.

Seemingly sensing Yu Zhe's caresses, she would occasionally let out soft "ooh" sounds, which were truly heartwarming.

It was very peaceful. Accompanied by the birdsong in the early morning, Yu Zhe continued to stroke her hair with one hand while picking up his phone with the other to browse the morning news.

This continued for an unknown period of time until Zixiao came to Yuzhe's room and knocked on the door.

"Brother, are you awake? Let's get ready and get going."

There was no response, so Zixiao pushed the door open and entered, only to find this heartwarming scene before her.

Yu Zhe smiled and put his index finger to his lips, signaling Zi Xiao to keep her voice down so as not to wake the sleeping cat.

Zixiao lowered her voice and said, "Yuche is still not awake... that's strange."

As far as Zixiao knows... Yuche's biological clock tells him he will definitely wake up at seven in the morning, and it's almost ten o'clock already.

unless...

What happened next undoubtedly confirmed her guess.

Yu Che sat up with a swift movement, but then, realizing what was happening, pretended to be sleepy and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh dear, what time is it... I slept so soundly."

"You must have been up for ages!" Zixiao bluntly exposed.

You're obviously faking sleep! Who can wake up so smoothly and without any delay after just waking up?

And he's so good at waking up at the right time.

But Yu Che just tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Huh? I don't understand what you're talking about."

She was indeed faking sleep. Yu Che had already woken up, but after waking up, she found that her brother was still sleeping, so she lay down for a while with her eyes half closed.

But at some point, her brother started touching her head!

This unexpected reward was irresistible to Yu Che. She knew that if she opened her eyes, the head-patting would definitely end, so she simply pretended not to be awake.

The result! Her brother actually patted her head for almost two hours! This made Yu Che extremely happy. She was practically floating on air for those two hours, and almost laughed out loud several times.

Yu Zhe really didn't notice, after all, Yu Che's fake sleep was quite convincing.

She sat up but didn't rush to change her clothes. Instead, she sat on the bed in a duck-like position and opened her arms to Yu Zhe: "Brother~ Good morning hug!"
