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

"See you in the new year, Xiao Zhe, and Yu Che too. Keep up the good work in the new year!"

"Mind your own business, big-breasted woman." Yu Che sighed. "If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be the busiest for you. Everything is stable in the Su family, but whether you can achieve anything in the Qi family this year will determine whether you can establish yourself firmly in the highest ranks of the Qi family."

There was no one else around, so Yu Che spoke his mind directly.

Zixiao gently tapped Yuche on the back of the head and scolded, "Can't you say something nice during the New Year? Oh no... say whatever you want."

Seeing that the creature was about to turn around and bite someone, Zixiao quickly put her hand back.

Qi Xinye said with a wry smile, "There's nothing I can do about it, Zixiao. Yu Che is telling the truth. This year may be an unprecedented challenge for me."

"Go, Sister Xinye!" Regardless of the matter of stealing Brother Yuzhe, Mo Lingyun was genuinely cheering for Qi Xinye.

"Thank you, Lingyun!"

"That's true, but Sister Ye, just relax." Yu Zhe said casually, "It doesn't matter. If any management problems arise this year, just let me know, and I'll help you sort it out. It's very simple."

If someone else said that if something happened to such a large family as the Qi family, they could just say a word, it would definitely be considered a fantasy.

But when Yu Zhe said those words, it was really simple.

But Qi Xinye simply shook her head and said, "Xiao Zhe, I'm the older sister. How can I rely on my younger brother for everything from childhood to adulthood? I will work hard to create a new future for the Qi family. Oh, of course... if I encounter anything I can't handle, I will still rely on you..."

"Haha, it's okay, I've been waiting for you to say it."

"Um..."

It really puts my mind at ease.

However, Qi Xinye wasn't joking. In the new year, she really wanted to work hard to stabilize the Qi family. Well... not for anything else, but just so that she could act like a real older sister in front of Xiao Zhe.

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

New Year's visits don't take long.

Or rather, there's no need for Yu Zhe and the others to personally visit each family.

For smaller families, relatives or employees of the Su family would visit. If Yu Zhe had to go everywhere in person, he would be exhausted.

At the beginning of the new year, Lu Ling and Lu Yao also received a new task from Yu Zhe, which was to protect Mo Lingyun with all their might for the time being.

Although they were initially reluctant because they only wanted to protect the young master, they quickly agreed when Yu Zhe asked them to do so.

How could we put the young master in a difficult position? If we're going to do it, we must make sure it's foolproof.

For example, from now on, the two of them will enter a state of infiltration to protect the safety of the young master and Mo Lingyun.

If the two are separated, Lu Yao will protect Yu Zhe, and Lu Ling will follow Mo Lingyun. In short, the protection of the young master must not be neglected.

Yu Zhe's side.

Stepping through the gate of the villa and closing it, Yu Zhe immediately relaxed, stretched, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew~ First thing done for the New Year: sending New Year's greetings! So happy! Time to sleep all day, then head back to the apartment tomorrow~ Ready to truly enjoy the New Year celebrations. We should all relax and have fun during the holidays!"

"..."

He stretched casually, but the three girls next to him were all blushing and their hearts were pounding.

Just now outside, Yu Zhe behaved very properly.

But this time when he came back, his happy little expression was like that of a lazy kitten, his beautiful silver hair seemed to have become much more fluffy, and his belly button was slightly exposed because of his stretching...

Zixiao had to look away; she had also heard Yuzhe mention the so-called "one-year agreement" before.

A year... well, let's wait a year then. Damn it, if it weren't for this inexplicable year, Zixiao would have already gotten rid of Yuzhe right now...

Hmm... even without this incident, she probably wouldn't have the guts...

Why am I so bad at this game?!

And reality proved just how incompetent she really was.

Zixiao was still complaining to herself when she suddenly realized that Yuche and Molingyun, who had been standing next to her, had suddenly disappeared.

What about people?

Looking ahead, he saw that the two of them were leaning over on either side of Yu Zhe, each curiously poking the soft flesh on his waist.

"Hehe... Brother Yuzhe has such a great figure, not an ounce of fat, and his skin is even smoother than a girl's!"

"What do you think? This skin of yours is a gift from heaven, but it was given to me. Take your hand off me."

"Take your hand away too!" Yu Zhe felt a sudden poke in his waist, and he recoiled into the corner as if he'd been electrocuted. "You...you guys, stop touching me like that, you scared me!"

Mo Lingyun scratched the back of her head and laughed, "Oh dear... I just felt a little uncontrollably... Anyway, Brother Yuzhe, don't be afraid, I won't do anything, hehehe..."

Wipe your drool before you speak!

Yu Zhe felt that while it was true that when Zi Xiao, Yu Che, and Yun Er were put together, they also increased their "threat" to him.

For example, Yu Che and Yun'er seemed to be competing with each other, their eyes shining, while Zi Xiao was behind them looking eager to try.

No, Yu Zhe needs to maintain his dignity; he can't let them scare him.

He coughed lightly twice to calm himself down, then pointed back into the room.

"Yun'er, come to my room."

"it is good

"Hey, Yu Zhe-gege!"

Without asking what it was about, Yu Zhe told her to come over, and Mo Lingyun would definitely be there soon!

She couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. Had Brother Yu Zhe changed his mind about the "one-year promise"? Did he want to...?

Well, that's probably unlikely.

I guess she has something she wants to say to me.

In short, she went over there, and Yu Che and Zi Xiao certainly couldn't just stand there and wait; they had to go and see what was going on.

Mo Lingyun walked over first, but she froze as soon as she entered the door.

Yu Zhe's brother rummaged through the shelf and finally found a pair of scissors. He pointed the scissors at her and said...

"Sit down in this seat and don't move around."

"..."

No...no way.

Is immense happiness really about to arrive today?

Seeing that her brother Yu Zhe had just pointed at her clothes with scissors, Mo Lingyun felt a little awkward.

"Brother Yuzhe, do you... like this kind of play...? But this outfit of mine must be pretty expensive... so... please don't ruin it, I can do it myself..."

"?"

Yu Zhe was taken aback. What are you talking about?

Before he could say anything, Yu Che, who followed in from behind, tiptoed and smacked Mo Lingyun on the head as punishment for her overthinking.

Zixiao explained with a wry smile.

"Your brother is going to cut your hair. I guess your bangs are too long and they're covering your eyes, so it doesn't look good. Your brother usually cuts our hair."

"Huh? So that's how it is?"

Mo Lingyun blinked, thought about what she had just said, and immediately blushed and lowered her head.

25. There's still a queue?

"Of course I'm going to cut your hair. What are you thinking about now?"

Yu Zhe was helpless.

How could he not know what they were thinking?

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be the boy who thinks about this kind of thing every day?

The result was quite the opposite. He thought he had enough self-control to postpone everything until a year later before "exploding," but the girls around him, one by one, seemed eager to "devour" him right now...

Do you think it's easy for me?

Yu Zhe then pulled out a large white cloth from his cabinet and wrapped it around Mo Lingyun's neck. He twirled the scissors in his hand twice, looking every bit like a professional hairdresser.

Mo Lingyun couldn't help but clap her hands: "Wow, Brother Yuzhe is so amazing!"

"A minor issue."

Next, they should have started cutting with scissors, but Yuzhe just felt so uncomfortable.

He turned his head and saw the source of his unease.

Zi Xiaoyu sat on a small chair beside him, watching him.

"You two... if you don't have anything to do, go out and play, take a walk in the yard, or if you really can't, take a nap. What are you standing here staring at?"

"Let's queue up," Yu Che blurted out.

"Huh? What line are we queuing for?"

Zixiao pointed to the scissors in Yuzhe's hand: "We're queuing up for haircuts. Oh dear... we need to get our hair cut too. If you're not too tired later, then please do it for us."

"Getting a haircut is fine..."

Yu Zhe was speechless: "But the problem is, I just gave you guys haircuts before the New Year, and I remember there's a custom that it's best not to cut your hair outside of the first month of the lunar calendar..."

“Hey, brother,” Yu Che said, shrugging. “That old custom should have been abolished long ago. It’s only natural to cut your hair when it gets long.

Zixiao immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, it was indeed only recently that I cut it, but it just keeps growing back so fast."

"..."

Grows fast my foot.

Yu Zhe was fully aware of their hair growth rate; in fact, he had no doubts about their "physical data".

Well, of course I'm referring to normal developmental data. How could I, as the older brother, not know that?

Zixiao and Yuche weren't being unreasonable; they just felt...

Everything should be fair, right?

Especially during the Lunar New Year, Mo Lingyun can enjoy her brother's haircut service, so how could the two of them be exempt? That's impossible.
