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

She looked at Yu Zhe, then at Xiao Lizhi, and said, "Do you think your brother looks fit to go into the men's restroom?"

Little Lychee immediately replied, "Definitely not!"

"Can I go to the women's restroom?"

Little Lychee thought for a moment, then looked a little confused: "Hmm... that doesn't seem to work either. Although you can't tell from her appearance, her gender doesn't allow it... This is such a complicated problem..."

After seeing her answer, Zixiao shrugged: "That settles it then. Since you can't go to the men's or women's restrooms, of course you can only have one for yourself, right?"

Little Lychee instantly understood; this was indeed necessary!

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

Half an hour passed quickly, and most of the food in the lunchbox was devoured by Xiao Lizhi.

Although Yu Zhe didn't eat much, he still felt a bit choked and uncomfortable.

I realized that I had left all my water bottles in my schoolbag in the classroom.

So he looked at Zixiao and asked, "Zixiao, do you have anything to drink? I'm a little thirsty."

Upon hearing this, Zixiao's expression showed a rare hint of panic and self-reproach.

It's as if they're admitting they neglected such a basic thing.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't brought anything else besides her water bottle.

So Zixiao took out a cute pink water bottle with a rabbit pattern from her small bag.

With a slightly flushed face, she handed it to Yu Zhe: "I only brought a cup of tea that I brewed this morning... If you don't mind, brother... then... please drink this..."

"Hmm? It's okay, as long as you don't mind, thank you Zixiao."

Taking the water cup from Zixiao, Yuzhe unscrewed the cap and drank directly from the rim of the cup with his delicate little mouth.

Zixiao usually drinks it like this too.

Looking at Yu Zhe, Zi Xiao's face grew increasingly red... No... I definitely need to use this cup to drink water several times later...

I guess we've achieved an indirect kiss...

Just then, Yu Zhe's phone rang with a series of urgent notification sounds.

Yu Zhe handed the water glass back to Zi Xiao and took out his phone to check the display.

It was a video call from Yu Che.

Yu Zhe was puzzled.

It's lunchtime...

What's wrong with his little princess?

41. Did you really only eat a steamed bun for lunch?

I pressed the button to accept the video call.

Before the connection was even established, a light and playful shout came from Yu Zhe's phone.

"Hey? Brother, brother, can you see me?"

At this moment, Yu Che's cute little face also appeared on the screen.

Hmm...it seems like she put her whole face right up to the screen.

This startled Yu Zhe completely.

Even if you're cute, you can still scare people!

Yu Zhe quickly moved the phone further away: "Step back a bit, is that how you make a phone call?!"

"Okay, is this alright?"

Yu Che moved her phone a little further away, and only then could Yu Zhe see the environment behind her clearly.

This is the villa's kitchen. Yu Zhe is very familiar with the villa's facilities, as he used to live there.

And this kitchen alone is bigger than the apartment he currently lives in...

(I.e.

Che was wearing an apron under his school uniform, so it seemed he had just come back from school and was cooking.

Cook?

When did this young lady start cooking on her own initiative?

Yu Zhe asked curiously, "Are you in the kitchen? Why did you suddenly feel like cooking for yourself, Miss Su?"

On the phone screen, Yu Che pouted like a little hamster: "What Miss Su? If you keep calling me that, I'm going to get angry. Hmph, even if you're referring to Miss Su, it should be you, brother!"

Before Yu Zhe could react, Yu Che quickly and cleverly continued, "Isn't it because my brother said last weekend that my cooking isn't as good as Zi Xiao's? I'm going to go into seclusion this week to practice hard, and I'll surpass her by the weekend and show you."

Zixiao frowned, feeling both annoyed and inexplicably worried.

I've been cooking for several years now... Although I'm very confident, nothing seems worth mentioning when compared to Yu Che and my brother.

If Zixiao really loses in cooking, how could she not be upset?

Yu Zhe wasn't paying attention to her; he was listening to Yu Che's words. But at the same time, he seemed to hear... the sound of fire burning?

what's the situation?

He quickly said to the screen, "Yu Che, Yu Che, look around quickly, is something on fire?!"

"Oh, brother, you mean this..."

Yu Che remained calm and simply moved the phone's camera to her right rear.

Yes, something is indeed burning, and it's burning quite badly.

There were several pots side by side over there, and flames were rising from the bottom of the pots, almost reaching the cabinet above.

I must say, the scene is quite spectacular.

There were two maids in front of them, each holding a fire extinguisher, skillfully putting out the fires on the pots.

However, it was not easy; under the high temperature of the fire, the two maids were already covered in sweat.

A moment later, a maid shouted towards Yu Che, "Young Miss! Young Miss, take it easy! Don't burn the pot through! The pot is fine, the house is fine, but we two can't hold on any longer!"

But Yu Che already had a phone in one hand and a new pot in the other.

With a grave expression, he said to the two maids, "Don't say anything more, just tell me if you can still guard this kitchen!"

"We swear to defend the Su family to the death!"

Huh? This left Yu Zhe dumbfounded. You're just cooking a dish, why is it like going to war?

He said to his phone, somewhat exasperated, "Yu Che, don't make things difficult for those maids. They have it tough enough..."

Yu Che put down the pot in her hand and smiled mischievously: "Haha, brother, don't worry, don't worry. We haven't even used the fire extinguisher yet. I'm just training this new maid."

"What kind of training is this? She's just here to be a maid!"

Yu Zhe loudly complained that these two maids definitely didn't know what they were going to face before they came to the Su family to apply for a job.

"alright."

Yu Che sat on a small chair in the kitchen, looking at Yu Zhe with a smile.

Although it clashes with the background of the pot flaming up behind it.

Enough... Yu Zhe felt tired of complaining.

Yu Che chuckled and then said, "How did you feel, brother? Your first day of school."

"It's alright. I just told Zixiao, there's nothing special about it."

"Mmm, nothing special is best, stability is the most important!"

Yu Zhe thought of Luo Xiaomeng and casually mentioned, "You know, our class monitor is really cute. She's even shorter than you, and she's so interesting."

What do you mean, shorter than you?! Brother, you're a genius!

However, these words made Yu Che a little wary: "Eh...cute...cuter than me?"

Without even thinking, Yu Zhe replied, "That's impossible! My Yu Che is the cutest!"

"Hehehe, of course I know, I just want to hear my brother say it himself."

Yu Che's smile never faded. Although it was just casual small talk, she truly cherished every second she spent talking with Yu Zhe.

She furrowed her beautiful brows, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right! I almost forgot the important thing. We can chat anytime, but I came here to report something to my brother!"

"Report something?"

“Mhm.” Yu Che nodded a few times. “It’s about Qi Xinye. I just told her to subtly inquire about the Qi family head recently. She told me she would ask him today. I hope she’s not stupid and won’t alert him.”

Yu Zhe had a rough idea of ​​what this was about, and he agreed: "It shouldn't be a big problem. If Sister Ye and her father communicate well, they might be able to find some clues for us."

Seeing her brother and Yu Che talking about serious matters, Zi Xiao had no choice but to pick up the water glass that Yu Zhe had just drunk from and take a small sip.

He's alive!

Little Lychee was quite curious, so she pressed herself against Yu Zhe's shoulder and squeezed in front of the screen: "Brother Yu Zhe, what are you doing?"

On the screen, Yu Che saw a light blonde girl suddenly squeeze in next to Yu Zhe.

A sharp edge slowly crept into his eyes.

Unlike Zixiao, Yuche's gaze can exert real pressure.

She gently tapped the pot next to her, making a muffled sound, and then asked, "Brother, who is that woman next to you who looks like she's a bit dim-witted?"

Good eye! You can tell at a glance he's a simpleton.

Yu Zhe felt that Yu Che's judgment of people was as accurate as ever.

But Yu Che seemed genuinely angry, so Yu Zhe felt it best to explain: "Her name is Ouyang Lizhi, she is..."

Before Yu Zhe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Lizhi's strange interjection.

"Alas!"

Little Lychee, hurry up and...

She looked away from her phone screen, her face filled with terror, and said to Yu Zhe, "Brother Yu Zhe! This person who looks just like you is even scarier than Zi Xiao! The way she looks at me, she's like she wants to kill me!"
