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

If they had told me in advance, it would have been fine, but they made the dishes and brought them over without saying anything.

This year's "natural airheads" are no good.

Ignoring her, Zixiao handed the chopsticks to Yuzhe first, and then picked up another pair and handed them to Xiaolizhi.

Finally, he picked up the chopsticks in front of him and prepared to eat.

It was as if Little Lychee's protests were completely ignored.

If I didn't hear it, it's the same as if you didn't say it.

Yu Zhe felt that Xiao Lizhi was currently in a situation where she was suffering in silence, unable to express her bitterness.

She didn't dare to say it.

He could only look at his schoolbag and silently push his lunchbox further inside.

His expression was somewhat forlorn, perhaps he was genuinely a little disappointed.

It's like a child going on a trip only to have it canceled because of the weather.

Yu Zhe sighed. If this is how it is, then eating will not be enjoyable.

So he went around to the two of them, stood behind Zixiao, pressed her head down with his right hand, and ruffled her dark hair a couple of times without saying anything.

Next, we walked forward to where the little lychee was.

Zixiao understood what he meant, but she didn't turn around. She just sighed inwardly that her brother was too kind.

Actually, Zixiao was really wary of Xiaolizhi, that idiot.

On the other hand, we also considered that she was too naive, and kind words might sometimes harm her.

But Yu Zhe couldn't bear to see her being so foolish and suffering injustice.

Yu Zhe picked up Xiao Lizhi's schoolbag and pushed it in front of her: "Take it out too. Didn't I just promise you that I would try your cooking?"

Little Lychee looked up, her eyes sparkling: "Really?!"

"real."

Even after receiving Yu Zhe's affirmative answer, she still looked at Zi Xiao beside her with lingering fear and asked somewhat guiltily.

He said, "That Zixiao...can I take it out too...?"

"Take it. If my brother says it's okay, then it's okay."

Then Zixiao finally turned her head and held up a finger: "This is the only time. Next time, you are not allowed to feed my brother without telling me."

"This sounds a bit strange, but thank you, Zixiao!"

After receiving permission, Little Lychee quickly rummaged through her schoolbag and took out several pretty lunchboxes, placing them on her napkin.

Yu Zhe sat back down opposite him.

But when he saw the scene before him, it was his turn to feel bad.

There were twelve lunchboxes neatly arranged on the napkin, seven on Zixiao's side and five on Xiaolizhi's side.

Although I had expected it, I didn't expect there to be so many.

Yu Zhe is a non-waste advocate, but does that mean he has to frown and eat it all?

I really wanted to tell these two people in front of me that this isn't how you make lunch!

Zixiao gave up on arguing with Xiaolizhi and could only compromise, saying, "Brother thinks it's fine to eat a few bites of whatever looks appetizing. There's no need to worry about it. After all, there's a ruthless leftover disposal machine here."

Following Zixiao's gaze, Yuzhe also looked at Xiaolizhi.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the vegetables on both sides, as if she really wanted to eat them all.

That's true. With her around, it seems like there's no need to worry about waste.

Yu Zhe started eating, and only after seeing him do Zi Xiao gracefully follow suit.

Little Lychee, on the other hand, didn't care and started eating what she had made herself.

After taking a few bites, Yu Zhe's face showed a satisfied expression.

It has to be said that Zixiao's cooking skills have indeed been improving.

After all, it seems her research in the kitchen has never stopped.

He put down his chopsticks and gave Zixiao a thumbs up: "Delicious! Well done!"

Zixiao always appreciated Yuzhe's praise.

Now, even though there's no sugar in the scrambled eggs she's eating, it feels like they're sweet to the core.

Seeing this, Xiao Lizhi, who was wolfing down her food, stopped eating and, unusually, put down her chopsticks.

Then she leaned forward slightly and reluctantly pushed her favorite twice-cooked pork in front of Yu Zhe: "Brother Yu Zhe, please try what I made!"

Seeing her now looking like an adorable puppy, Yu Zhe smiled knowingly.

Without any hesitation, he reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, putting it in his mouth.

Yu Zhe savored the dish attentively.

Little Lychee eagerly awaited Yu Zhe's opinion.

Zixiao looked at Xiaolizhi, who was getting closer and closer to Yuzhe, with hostility.

This is the current state of the three of them.

After a short while, Yu Zhe also gave his evaluation: "Hmm... I must say, it's really quite delicious. Although it's not like Zi Xiao's, which you can tell at a glance that it has undergone many attempts, this one has an indescribable... wonderful taste."

This isn't just random talk; it's often said that a person's cooking can reveal aspects of their personality.

The dish made with small lychees, while undeniably delicious, had a free and easy feel to it. The seasonings and other ingredients didn't seem to follow the original instructions; rather, they were used somewhat arbitrarily.

Although the taste wasn't quite perfect, it inexplicably made me feel happy.

As he spoke, Yu Zhe picked up another piece and put it in his mouth.

Although Little Lychee didn't quite understand, she knew she had succeeded when she saw Yu Zhe take the second and third bites.

An irrepressible smile spread across her delicate face, and her long, pale golden hair swayed from side to side as she moved.

It looks more like a cute little puppy!

Seeing that Zixiao was not very happy, Yuzhe picked up the meat he had just eaten with his chopsticks and put it to her mouth: "Ah~ open your mouth, don't look so gloomy. You know, actually, if you smile at me more often, it makes me happier than the food you cook."

"what..."

Zixiao didn't hesitate at all and ate the meat that Yuzhe handed her with his chopsticks in one bite. It seemed that her mouth lingered on the chopsticks for a while while she ate.

Chopsticks delivered to my door—oh, I mean meat delivered to my door—why not take advantage of it?

The meat that Little Lychee made was indeed decent, but it was far from good enough for her older brother to eat!

But actually, Zixiao's attention was almost entirely focused on Yuzhe's chopsticks, rather than on the meat.

Wait until Yu Zhe puts the chopsticks away.

Zixiao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and then said, "Okay... but don't worry about me for now. Let's talk about you first, brother. Are you settling in well this morning? Have you encountered any unpleasant things?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Instead of asking if anything is bothering you, you should be asking if anything is going well."

Little Lychee quickly chimed in, "Brother Yuzhe came to get my textbooks!"

Zixiao still ignored her and even rolled her eyes at her.

This little lychee, she doesn't speak when she should, but when no one asks her anything, she's the first to interrupt and steal the spotlight.

Little Lychee quickly pulled her head back and continued eating her meal, not daring to say another word.

Yu Zhe took over the question from earlier, thought for a moment, and then said to Zi Xiao, "Nothing much, it was just a normal morning. The only thing that I found a little strange was the girl at the next table."

"girl?!"

Zixiao's target detection radar was activated instantly.

My brother's behavior at school is often uncontrollable.

We must try our best to avoid being near any vixens!

Little Lychee is indeed very beautiful. If someone is not as beautiful as her, then they shouldn't pose much of a threat!

Zixiao pulled over Xiaolizhi, who was still eating, and pointed at her, saying, "Is that girl prettier than Xiaolizhi?!"

Little Lychee looked completely bewildered.

He was only thinking about how he hadn't finished the meat in his bowl, and then he was dragged away.

They're here?

Yu Zhe was quite helpless. He first rescued Xiao Lizhi, and then explained, "What are you thinking now? Besides, beauty isn't something you can compare like that... Everyone has their own unique features. Wait, no, how did you lead me astray? That's not the point!"

After adjusting his thoughts, Yu Zhe said again, "What I mean is that she's strange because she's a bit too serious about her studies. I heard that she's doing this because she's aiming for the top spot in her grade and the guaranteed admission to university. But she acts like she has paranoia, always jumping around in alarm. If I give her a bottle of mineral water, she suspects I've poisoned it."

These words made Zixiao and Xiaolizhi laugh.

They only heard Yu Zhe's description and felt that this person was really strange.

Remembering something, Yu Zhe looked at Zi Xiao, who was smiling, and said to her, "Speaking of this top student being recommended for admission, Zi Xiao, you're basically guaranteed admission when you're a senior in high school a year from now. Which school are you planning to go to?"

Without even thinking, Zixiao replied, "I don't need to consider that; it depends on what my brother decides."

Yu Zhe didn't understand: "Why should my decision determine where you go?"

Zixiao answered matter-of-factly, "Wherever you plan to go, I will go. If you don't plan to go to university but go back to the Su family to run the business, I will stay by your side and help you. I've already thought about this."

"No, no, no...Are you sure? If I don't want to go to university, wouldn't it be a waste to have such good grades?"

Zixiao's expression didn't change at all: "But I don't care... As long as I can follow my brother, it doesn't matter where we go. Didn't I say before that I'll go wherever my brother goes?"

Okay... Yu Zhe thinks that even for Zi Xiao's sake, he should choose a top university after the college entrance examination.

After all, people have said they'll follow me everywhere, so as the older brother, I have to lead the way.

However, Zixiao also had a question: "By the way, brother, what about the bathroom? Is it the same as when you were in school in Dongcheng District, where you got a private bathroom in the office building?"

Yu Zhe nodded: "Yes, I told the people here in advance that a private bathroom has been set up in the office building for me, just like before, so you don't have to worry."

Little Lychee was completely confused: "Huh? A restroom? Why do I need to get my own restroom? Aren't the restrooms in the school building all nicely decorated?"

Zixiao thought Xiaolizhi was really stupid, but she still reminded her by asking a question in return.
