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

With the smallest possible movement and in the most natural manner, Yu Zhe quietly slipped the punishment card into his shirt pocket, then smiled with relief and walked ahead.

"Let's go! Let's go downstairs for dinner! Oh, you know what, I'm actually a little hungry. Lu Ling and Lu Yao, you two come down too. After dinner, I'll help you clean up these mats upstairs."

Yu Zhe felt that his operation was so smooth and flawless that he had easily fooled everyone.

"Brother, wait a moment."

Zixiao lowered her head in thought, and before Yuzhe left, she suddenly said this.

hiss...

Absolutely did not expect ah.

Even Yu Che seemed to be planning to let him off the hook and followed him downstairs, but in the end, it was Zi Xiao who spoke up?!

Zixiao, what's wrong with you?! Have I been spoiling you for nothing?!

But at this point, you still need to act naturally: "Zi, Zixiao? Let's stop playing here for today, okay? Let's eat when it's time to eat, and we can always continue later."

"Brother, I don't think this will work."

Why isn't it working?!

Zixiao analyzed carefully, then held up her index finger and said, "Brother, think about it. You drew two cards just now. You drew the first card for Yuche and completed the punishment properly. You said you drew the second card for me, but you just drew it without any intention of completing the punishment..."

The thought of this made Zixiao feel a little depressed. At first, she planned to let it go. If her brother said it was over, then it would be over. But the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Leaving aside whether Yu Che will make fun of her about this later, she'll probably have trouble sleeping tonight because of thinking about it.

I might as well muster up the courage to speak my mind!

My brother always says that if you have something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself.

Be brave and speak up!

My dear sister! We can talk about this another day, it's not too late at all!

Yu Zhe was now on the verge of tears. He definitely wasn't refusing to carry out the punishment because of favoritism!

If the requirements on these cards are about as difficult as the previous penalties, I'll let you complete ten of them!

"Zixiao...that's not what I meant, it's just that time doesn't allow it..."

"You could let everyone go down to eat first... and we can stay a little longer to finish our punishment, or... do you think spending a few more minutes for me is a waste of time...?"

Oh no, Zixiao really felt wronged.

Yu Zhe touched the card in his pocket again, feeling conflicted.

Just as he was thinking of a perfect solution, Little Lychee secretly slipped up to Yu Zhe and reached out to pinch a corner of the card.

Yu Zhe reacted quickly! He slapped her thieving hand aside!

"Ouch, that hurts..." Little Lychee covered her hand where she had been hit, looking aggrieved.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Yu Zhe hurriedly put the punishment card that almost fell out back in, looking somewhat flustered.

Little Lychee murmured softly, "I was just curious... Brother Yuzhe cheated, everyone clearly completed the punishments properly before."

"But when it was my turn, you were still so strict with me..."

How can those be the same?

The contents of this card directly challenge Yu Zhe's bottom line!

Completely disregarding the moral condemnation within him, Yu Zhe is determined to be a scoundrel this time!

"I don't care anymore! I'm just hungry! I'm going downstairs to eat, I'll worry about everything else later! Pfft!"

Just as Yu Zhe was about to start moving quickly away, he felt a huge pulling force around his waist that stopped him in his tracks.

Turning around in surprise, she saw a silver glint at her waist—it was Yu Che.

"No! I feel something's wrong. Brother, you have to let me see what's written on that card!"

"Why are you joining in the commotion too?!"

Yu Che hadn't wanted to go along with Zi Xiao's antics, but seeing her brother's reluctance, she knew the card contained something he didn't want to do.

Since he was unwilling to comply and was the last one, the emotionally intelligent Yu Che decided to let her brother get away with it.

But she never expected her brother to react so strongly!

What kind of amazing content is on this?!

Curiosity still triumphed over high emotional intelligence; Yuche is extremely curious now!

"Are you a curious person?! Let go of me! I want to get down!"

"No way! Brother, you have to let me see Lu Ling and Lu Yao today! Come and help!"

"Don't help!"

Yu Che is still too small. If I keep carrying her like this, Yu Zhe might drag her out the door. I need to call for help.

However, Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who were standing at the door, did not seem to have any intention of taking any action.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yu Che, when you and the young master issue an order at the same time, we will only obey the young master."

"Not to be executed..."

"Tsk, you guys are useless when it really matters!"

Seeing the situation was bad, Yu Che quickly turned around and shouted to Zi Xiao and the others, "Hey! What are you all standing there for! I can't take it anymore! There must be a surprise on that card! You... you'll definitely regret letting your brother go!"

"Yu Che, you better listen to me! Let go!"

Needless to say, Zixiao understood what Yuche was saying, so she came over to help immediately.

Yu Che's appeal also resonated deeply with everyone present.

Anyone who saw Yu Che trying so hard to hold onto Yu Zhe would probably be curious about what kind of miracle might be on that card.

She's right. In order to avoid regrets in the future and to make today shine, they must bear witness.

They, too, should take action.

"Brother Yuzhe, don't struggle!"

"Xiao Zhe... I think it would be better if you handed over the cards, even if we don't follow through..."

"Stop fooling around, Yuzhe."

"Yu Zhe, what are you panicking about!"

Some of the girls grabbed his arms, while others held onto his waist, tightly restraining Yu Zhe from escaping the room.

Seeing the light that was so close suddenly disappear, Yu Zhe couldn't help but cry out in sorrow.

"Are you all devils?! Let me go!!"

I should have torn up this card as soon as I got it!

No matter how agile he was or how desperately he tried to protect the cards in his pocket, he couldn't withstand the combined attack of six girls.

After a fierce struggle, finally...

In the end, Xiaomeng got the card from Yuzhe's pocket.

After receiving it, she quickly used her small frame to create distance and lifted it high.

The victorious little girl proclaims her triumph.

"I got it!"

Upon hearing this, the girls finally let go of Yu Zhe.

At this point, Yu Zhe was too exhausted to make a fuss anymore and could only sit on the ground to rest helplessly.

After receiving the card, Xiaomeng read out its contents word by word as everyone gathered around to look at it.

"Put on a blue and white sailor uniform! Then tie your hair in pigtails and strike a cute pose!"

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

(PS: I've reached one million words! And it just so happens to be June! It feels quite a coincidence. I'll work even harder from now on! Also... I'm begging for monthly votes from you guys at the beginning of the month, sob sob!)

27. Tie your hair in pigtails!

As Xiaomeng read out the punishment, Yuzhe trembled.

Some unpleasant memories also surfaced. The fear of women's clothing is a pain etched into her DNA, a hurdle that Yu Zhe can never overcome.

While the girls were still figuring out what punishments to give, Yu Zhe quickly shrank into a corner, trembling with fear.

But hiding won't last long.

It seemed they had chosen a representative, and Zixiao walked over with a somewhat troubled expression.

But it was this troubled look that gave Yu Zhe a glimmer of hope once again.

Oh! Zixiao, have you had a change of heart and decided to skip this punishment?

Exactly, there's no reason to force muscular men to wear women's clothing.

Yu Zhe was about to get up, but when Zi Xiao spoke, he sat down again.

"Brother, after discussing it, we've unanimously decided... well, how about we still carry out this punishment?"

"Why?!"

Its last hope was dashed.

Zixiao glanced behind her; everyone had chosen her as their representative, and Zixiao felt a great responsibility.

Based on the results of the previous discussion, Zixiao reported truthfully.

"Well... hey, brother, let me be blunt. Everyone is really looking forward to what's on the card. It's fine if they haven't seen it yet, but the thought that there's such a punishment but you didn't carry it out makes everyone feel like they're missing out. So... it seems like no one is willing to back down."

Zixiao herself must be one of those who feels she's lost out.

What's there to lose?! What's there to lose?!

Yu Zhe felt he could still struggle.

"We... have no room for negotiation?"
