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

She now resembles an unlucky child who encountered difficult winter break homework and was suddenly told by the teacher that she didn't have to do it anymore.

"Oh, Little Lychee, you'll have to do this job tomorrow."

"Okay...okay..."

Wow, just as expected, you can run away on the first day of the month, but not on the fifteenth.

Lunch was naturally prepared by Zixiao alone. After Yuche and Yuzhe finished washing up, they sat at the dining table like two lazy white cats, one big and one small, waiting for lunch.

During this time, Yu Che glanced at her phone and frowned, "Something's not right..."

"What's wrong?"

"This is the account we use for work. Look, at this time usually there should be hundreds of unfinished tasks, but today there isn't a single one. Did the company suspend operations today?!"

That's impossible.

If the Su Group were to suspend operations for even a day, not only would the Su family face huge losses, but it would also cause quite a stir in the entire Fenghai City.

Yu Zhe handed the phone back to her.

"It's okay, it's normal. After all, I had already finished all of today's work when I went to the company yesterday."

Furthermore, they instructed the company's senior management that if they had anything to report today, they should only send it to Yu Zhe, not Yu Che.

The purpose was to allow Yu Che to enjoy a carefree and leisurely time before the New Year without any worries.

"Brother...you..."

Yu Che gripped her phone tightly, speaking in a way that felt unnatural.

"Brother, I love you so much, do you know that?"

“I know, and I know it better than you do.”

Yu Zhe was too lazy to even complain; this love was too heavy, in a physical sense.

He slept on his arm last night and it's numb and painful. It's not a life for a human being!

Ahem...吐槽 is one thing, but as long as my little sister is happy, this little sacrifice is nothing.

Xiao Lizhi is watching TV, but not entirely.

She heard Yu Zhe talking about the party that night.

He suddenly perked up again: "Hmm? Is there another party tonight?"

"Yeah, this time it's much more interesting. I got back too late yesterday, so I didn't get to do anything, and not everyone was there."

"Isn't everyone here?" Zixiao brought out the dishes and counted on her slender fingers. "I remember everyone was here yesterday, right? Brother, me, and Yuche."

"And there's Sister Ye, Qin Ruoke, and Xiao Lizhi! And Xiao Meng is coming tonight too, Zixiao, you're omitting so much..."

It's one thing that those three aren't here, but look at Little Lychee lying on the sofa, she's still here but they've been ignored!

Although she herself doesn't seem to realize this yet?

8. How can you curse your sister like that?!

Logically speaking, today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the official New Year is still a few days away, so there shouldn't be any New Year gatherings today.

But Yu Zhe is busy in a few days.

Although he said he left the Su family, how could it be completely unaffected? During the Chinese New Year, Yu Zhe had to go back to the villa to go through some New Year's greetings procedures.

It's rare to have made so many friends this year, so I thought we could get together before the New Year.

This can also be seen as a way to commemorate a year that is completely different from the past.

Qin Ruoke came over from her place after noon.

Qi Xinye sent a message saying she might be a little late.

"Xiao Ruoke... I mean, you came all the way from next door, and you even need to change your clothes?!"

Yu Zhe looked Qin Ruoke up and down. Goodness, when he went to call her earlier, she was still wearing pajamas, but now she was wearing a neat brown coat, a matching brown plaid skirt, and cotton black tights.

This is the outfit she wore to Yu Zhe's birthday party last time; it's arguably the best outfit she owns.

Qin Ruoke blushed after Yu Zhe said that.

"Ahem... Don't worry about the details, it's about the ritual... Yes! This is what a ritual is! Even if it's next door, it's still a gathering, right? So we should still be a bit serious..."

"Although it's a completely unnecessary sense of ritual, what you said makes some sense. Okay, come in quickly and help me think of a solution."

"Think of a way?"

Qin Ruoke got excited when she heard this. She had never thought she would have the opportunity to help Yu Zhe, after all, he could do everything.

Following Yu Zhe inside, Qin Ruoke looked around.

It's lunch break time now, and everyone else is probably taking a nap in their rooms, so the living room is quite quiet.

This can be seen from the fact that Yu Zhe deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke; he was probably afraid of waking them up.

She's so gentle.

When she looked at Yu Zhe again, she saw him fiddling with something that looked like a huge carpet in the corner of the wall. The thing was folded up, and she didn't know how big it would be when unfolded.

"Xiao Ruoke, look at this. I had someone bring me a super-sized Flying Chess game from the Su family. It turns into a super-sized Monopoly game. I thought it would be fun and a good way to pass the time, a game to play at night. But when I actually got my hands on it, I suddenly realized an embarrassing problem."

"No pieces for Ludo, no cards for Monopoly? Or did they discover the game board wasn't printed correctly?"

"Xiao Ruoke, why do you sometimes think so extremely..."

While complaining, Yu Zhe picked up a large box containing oversized chess pieces from the side.

"Everything you mentioned is here. The problem isn't these things. The problem is, I've discovered that once this thing is unfolded, there doesn't seem to be any room in the house where it can be placed, which is awkward..."

"

"Is there not enough space...? It does seem a bit too big."

Qin Ruoke estimated the area of ​​the chessboard when it was unfolded; it was at least ten square meters. The living room was densely packed with tables and chairs, so there was indeed no space to unfold it.

Yu Zhe originally intended to surprise everyone. This was a Monopoly game that he had ordered and had delivered from the Su family. It was a game that several people could play together on a map. It sounded quite interesting.

Unfortunately, it can't be deployed now, which has become a problem.

Yu Zhe should have thought of this earlier... The problem is that he's used to the concept of large spaces. If this thing were in a villa, it could be set up anywhere. Yu Zhe, who has lived there for many years, didn't really consider how big this plush chessboard was when he ordered it.

Then, in reality, it was placed in the apartment... well, it's hard to explain, it was spread all the way from the sofa to the dining table.

"What about on the balcony? Have you tried that?" Qin Ruoke suggested.

"I've tried, but it doesn't work at all. Oh, actually... Ruoke, I wanted you to do me a favor and help me push this sofa to the side..."

Ok?

Is this difficult?

Yu Zhe sounded a little unsure of himself when he said this, and his voice wasn't loud either.

Does Yu Zhe have the confidence to back it up?

He thought he could handle this himself; it's just a sofa.

As a man, this kind of physical work is no problem at all!

When he tried to push the sofa, he found that even with all his strength, it wouldn't budge...

Yu Zhe was in a bad mood... If he needed Zi Xiao and Yu Che to help him move things when they came out of the room, where would his authority as the older brother go?

As for Little Lychee, forget about her; who knows how long she'll sleep before she wakes up.

On the other hand, Yu Zhe didn't want to bother Lu Ling and Lu Yao with all the physical work.

So isn't it perfect that we caught Qin Ruoke to help us?

"What is it... just this little thing? Come on, I'll help you move it."

"Xiao Ruoke is so straightforward! Come on, you go over there, I'll move it over here. Let's move the sofa to the left corner, and that'll be a success."

It's definitely much simpler when two people are together.

Qin Ruoke went to the other side of the sofa and, cooperating with Yu Zhe's movements, easily lifted the sofa to the corner of the wall.

Of course, she could sense that Yu Zhe was deliberately using a lot of extra force.

So your pride as a boy is really strong.

"Phew~ I finally made room. Thank you so much, Ruoke, you've been a great help."

"So... this little thing doesn't even count as helping..."

dong dong.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door.

The knocking was so polite; it sounded like it belonged to Lu Ling or Lu Yao.

"I'll go open the door. Sit down and have some water."

Qin Ruoke often comes over to sit, so there's a small cup on the coffee table specifically for her.

Yu Zhe went to open the door, and sure enough, Lu Ling was there.

"Young Master, let me check if the Flying Chessboard you requested from the main family has arrived. If not, I'll go and urge them again."

"We've arrived, we'll be here by noon. Come in and rest for a while."

He led her inside, then glanced outside and, noticing Lu Yao wasn't there, closed the door and turned to ask Lu Ling.

"Lu Ling, you came here by yourself? Where's your sister?"

Hearing Yu Zhe's question, Lu Ling decided to be mischievous again.

She feigned sadness and said with a sorrowful expression.

"Reporting to young master, my sister... she caught a cold and developed a fever of over forty degrees Celsius. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she'll have to fend for herself..."

"How can you curse your own sister like that... If Lu Yao heard this, she'd beat you up."

This sounds like a joke.

Look, Lu Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing as she was talking.

The joke couldn't go on, so Lu Ling immediately admitted it.
