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

Zixiao, who was standing right next to Yuche, even offered an explanation for her.

"Brother, please don't blame her. Although I tried to persuade her... we just contacted Uncle Lin, and he said he's busy with things at the auditorium and doesn't have time. To avoid delaying you, brother, we're waiting for you to get back."

"They come here and set off fireworks, but we just lit them ourselves..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke...

Actually, Uncle Lin could have easily asked someone else for help if he didn't have time, but Yu Che said she was very curious about setting off fireworks, and even though Zi Xiao tried to stop her... well, she probably did try, but in the end she still joined in the fun.

"Well, never mind, this won't happen again." It's the New Year, and Yu Zhe didn't want to make Yu Che feel too bad because of this lecture.

But! I absolutely have to correct this habit of hers after the New Year! You dare set off fireworks?!

"Hehe, you're the best, brother. I knew you wouldn't blame me. Here, look, I'll order you another one."

"Stand against the wall! Stand there for five minutes! Go and reflect on your actions!"

"Waaah..."

Fine, I was going to let you off the hook, but you didn't cherish the opportunity. You'd better reflect on your actions.

This interaction completely stunned Mo Lingyun, who had just jogged over.

Didn't she see Yu Che a few days ago when she went to the company? Sister Yu Che was so aloof, she acted like she was the only one who mattered.

Mo Lingyun originally thought that her personality had really changed completely, but in front of Brother Yu Zhe, wasn't she still the same as before?

No...it feels even worse than before. Before, I was like a little lamb, but now I'm like a docile little kitten.

When Yu Che saw Mo Lingyun walking over from behind, she just snorted, glanced at her disdainfully, and then obediently walked to the wall to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes.

Okay... Mo Lingyun took back her previous thought. It seems that Sister Yu Che's personality just doesn't change when she's facing Brother Yu Zhe.

This was the first time Zixiao had met her, so she took the initiative to go up and greet her.

"You must be Miss Mo, right? I've heard my brother mention you a lot lately."

Mo Lingyun turned her head in confusion, and when she saw Zi Xiao with black hair and red eyes, she was obviously stunned for a moment as well.

I couldn't help but admire how beautiful this girl was.

However, this is...

"Brother?" Mo Lingyun was taken aback, then immediately realized, "Ah, you must be Zixiao! It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for taking care of Brother Yuzhe all these years!"

Zixiao had already extended her left hand, and Mo Lingyun quickly extended her right hand to grasp it.

However, the two of them immediately realized a problem.

It seems like they're putting in a lot of effort...

There was no other way; this was the first encounter between two people who had long been wary of each other.

47. You are you, and I am me.

"You two should get to know each other first... Uh, what are you doing?"

Yu Zhe had just given Yu Che a good scolding in the corner, and came back to introduce Zi Xiao and Yun'er.

But it seemed he didn't need to worry about it; the two were shaking hands.

But...why does this handshake feel a little unnatural?

They both had enigmatic smiles on their faces, and simply shook hands without saying a word.

Yu Zhe certainly didn't know that the two of them had actually gone through several rounds of psychological warfare during this period.

Seeing Yu Zhe approaching, the two of them simultaneously let go of each other's hands and faced Yu Zhe, saying...

"Sister Lingyun is indeed very beautiful." "Sister Zixiao is just as sensible as you said, Yuzhe."

"..."

Hiss, something's definitely not right.

Oh well, never mind.

“Zixiao, try to get along well with Yun’er in the future. She has nowhere to go back now, just like you back then. Although we may not come back to the villa often for the time being, we will be living together in the future.”

"I understand, brother."

He then turned to Mo Lingyun and said.

"Yun'er, you should be quite familiar with the villa by now. The layout is exactly the same as before, only the details might be a little different. I'll show you around later. Since you're going to live here, you should be more tolerant of Zixiao and Yuche. There will inevitably be some minor conflicts, but you can overcome them."

"Well... being able to live with Brother Yuzhe is a great happiness. I will try my best to fit in. Please bear with me, Sister Zixiao!"

"No, no, no, just call me Zixiao!"

In Yu Zhe's opinion, Yun'er had indeed completely changed her former spoiled young lady personality and become much more humble.

Hmm... Yun'er might have to stay here for a while, but that's only temporary.

No matter what, the Mo family in Cangming City should essentially belong to Mo Lingyun. It's just that some people have interfered, which is why she is now homeless.

Sooner or later, Yu Zhe will have to help her get that home back.

Regardless of whether she wants to go back to live there in the future, what is rightfully hers, Yu Zhe has to help her take it back.

We can discuss this with her later; for now, we should focus on enjoying the Lunar New Year's Eve.

Yu Zhe cupped his hands in front of his face like a megaphone and shouted towards the wall, "Su Yu Che! That's enough! Come on over, the rest of the standing punishment will continue after the New Year!"

"Hey~~ Still have to stand!"

She jogged over, complaining, but her smile remained: "Hey brother, we have to finish setting off the fireworks, right? Or can you supervise me so I can light them?"

"Watch from the side, I'll take care of it."

"Okay..."

There are three boxes of fireworks left, and Yu Zhe plans to light them one by one.

It's fine if he comes over. Although Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who were standing at a distance, seemed to want to help, Yu Zhe stopped them.

At times like this, Yu Zhe felt that as the "head of the family," it was his responsibility to light the fireworks.

"You all stand back a bit. After we finish releasing these, we'll go back and rest."

"Brother, be careful! Remember to run back quickly when you light the fuse, and... um, never mind, I'll light it with you and supervise from the side."

As Zixiao spoke, she became increasingly uneasy, and eventually she stood next to Yuzhe, who was holding a lighter.

As for Yu Zhe...

Bian, who was already planning to light the fire, could only advise again, "Zixiao...you should also wait in the back, this is too dangerous..."

"Yes, it's dangerous, so I'm going with my brother."

"..."

There's absolutely no way to persuade Zixiao when she's in this state; you simply can't convince her otherwise.

Yu Zhe had no choice but to accept it and silently allow her to watch from the sidelines.

Naturally, Yu Che and Yun'er followed Zi Xiao's example this time, showing no intention of hiding in the back.

Ugh... Why are all the people around me so disobedient?!

But for some reason, Yu Zhe felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Get ready, I'll light the fuse and we'll all run backwards."

"Three...two...one!"

The three girls helped count down to three. After they finished counting, Yu Zhe lit the fuse, and he immediately felt a pulling force.

Yu Che and Zi Xiao each held one of his hands, while Mo Lingyun tugged at his clothes. The three of them laughed and pulled him towards a safe open space.

Ah, this feeling is truly reassuring.

When Yu Zhe came back to his senses from this wonderful feeling, he heard a loud bang in the sky behind him.

He slowly turned around and looked down at the fireworks up close, which was indeed a unique experience.

Yu Zhe looked around and saw the three of them around him, gazing at the sky with starry eyes.

The lights reflecting off the distant auditorium, or even further afield, illuminate the myriad lights of homes—that's what truly makes you feel the spirit of the New Year.

After a long while, when Yu Zhe finished setting off this box of fireworks and went to prepare to light the next box, Yu Che had already skipped over to follow him.

Zixiao originally wanted to follow, but she heard Mo Lingyun suddenly say, "Zixiao, can you listen to me for a moment?"

"Huh? Ah, Sister Lingyun, what are you saying? I'm listening."

Yu Che should be fine going with her brother. Zi Xiao looked at Mo Lingyun, who had a serious expression on his face, as if he was about to say something important.

Mo Lingyun shook her head and said, "You don't need to call me 'sister.' You were born in March, right? I heard from Brother Yuzhe that I'm a month older than you, so just call me Lingyun."

"Alright, Lingyun, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Is there anything you want to say?"

Wow, that's a bit scary.

Could this be a declaration of war?!

For example, something like, "I met Brother Yuzhe before you, so don't be so arrogant!"

Something like this?

But who knew that Mo Lingyun was looking at the fireworks filling the sky, and Yu Zhe and Yu Che chatting and laughing.

She simply expressed what was on her mind in a slightly melancholic tone.

"Zixiao, what I want to say is, don't worry, I won't pose any threat to you."

"A threat? Lingyun, what are you talking about..."

At first, Zixiao didn't really understand what she was talking about, but after thinking about it for a moment, she understood what she meant.

That's true... Zixiao is indeed worried that after she comes, she will take her brother away.

But after figuring this out, Zixiao understood even less what she had just said.

Mo Lingyun's eyes reflected the fireworks. The fireworks were a bit loud, so she raised her voice slightly so that Zixiao, who was standing next to her, could hear her clearly.

"Because I just want to fulfill my last wish, to be able to talk and laugh with Brother Yuzhe again. It's like a dream, or rather, I'm a little giddy. But I also understand that even if the Su family is not afraid of the Mo family, a direct confrontation will definitely have some impact on the Su family. So I've already decided that as long as the Mo family discovers me and tries to cause trouble for the Su family, I will disappear on my own. Ah, don't tell Brother Yuzhe about this, okay? He'll worry again."

To Zixiao, her smile did indeed seem somewhat desolate.
