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

Well, whatever. As long as the two of them can enjoy life, that's fine. The so-called guard duty won't interfere with their classes at school, and they don't have to think about being combat maids every day. Otherwise, that would be too pitiful.

Yu Zhe certainly doesn't want to be some kind of heartless boss who exploits his employees!

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

As expected, Yu Zhe couldn't escape Yu Che's clutches when it was time to sleep.

Every time, Yu Zhe tries to fight for his right to sleep on the sofa, but this time Yu Che manages to stop him by being unreasonable.

Fortunately, this girl fell asleep quite quickly today.

Perhaps she finally let out some things she'd been holding back today, which is why she was able to relax and sleep so soundly.

Yu Zhe turned his head and looked at Yu Che, who was fast asleep, hugging him tightly, drooling at the corner of her mouth, and smiling. He wondered what sweet dreams she was having.

"Brother...don't...uh...don't...uh...bully me..."

"..."

Okay, stop asking. It's obviously a "sweet dream."

Yu Zhe sighed helplessly, wondering if he could hold out until the "one-year agreement" with the girls was up.

Thanks to her outrageous sleep-talking, Yu Zhe still couldn't get a good night's sleep.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Yu Zhe suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened a crack.

Before he could even turn over to see who it was...

Then, we heard Mo Lingyun's voice, which was turned down to the lowest possible volume.

"Brother Yuzhe...are you asleep...? If you're asleep, then...that's alright...I'll go back to sleep..."

Hearing that the door was about to close again, Yu Zhe quickly turned over and waved to signal.

When you ask someone if they're asleep, at least give them some time to respond!

51. How stingy!

Well, it's not impossible to understand. I guess he had something to say but didn't want to wait until the next morning. However, he didn't want to disturb Yu Zhe's sleep, so he opened the door, went around in circles, and then wanted to go out again.

Yu Zhe waved for her to stop, then struggled to get out of bed.

The difficulty wasn't because he was unwell or anything, but simply because Yu Che's restraints were too tight.

For example, Yu Zhe first gently pried open her arms that were wrapped around his neck, then steadily moved her legs that were wrapped around his waist, and then gave her a clever push on her buttocks, so that this white-haired loli obediently went to sleep in the corner of the bed.

Don't ask why Yu Zhe doesn't usually use this trick. Even if she did, she would still pester him. It only works for a short while. So Yu Zhe quickly put on his slippers and took Mo Lingyun outside.

The corridor lights were still on, probably turned them on when Yun'er came to open the door. She's afraid of the dark, so even in a short corridor, she doesn't dare to leave the lights off.

Yu Zhe yawned, casually tossing his long, sticking-up silver hair behind him, looking quite languid.

This seemingly minor gesture alone made Mo Lingyun blush.

Hmm... Yu Zhe looks so handsome even before he goes to sleep.

But Yu Zhe didn't have time to let her be shy: "Yun'er, do you have something to say? Make it quick, or we can talk about it tomorrow morning. If Yu Che wakes up in a while, we'll all be in trouble."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Yuzhe, it's nothing serious... How about we talk about it tomorrow morning? I just rushed over on a whim. You're right, it's best not to bother Sister Yuche..."

Seeing that she suddenly realized what was happening and turned to go back to her own room, Yu Zhe quickly grabbed her hand.

Hey, tell me, am I setting myself up for this? Yun'er has already brought this up, if I don't tell you what it is, won't it be Yu Zhe who can't sleep because of his curiosity?

"Never mind her... just leave her be. Yun'er, you can tell me. I put the pillow where I was sleeping. It should help me withstand some damage."

Thank you for your hard work, pillow!

Seeing that Yu Zhe was very curious, Mo Lingyun was afraid that talking in the corridor would disturb Zi Xiao or Yu Che, so she lowered her voice.

"Actually, it's nothing much... I just can't sleep and want to talk to Brother Yuzhe."

"Come this way."

Yu Zhe took her hand and led her away from the corridor to the balcony, where they closed the door. They figured talking here wouldn't disturb anyone.

"Having trouble sleeping?" Yu Zhe asked with concern as a matter of course.

"Yeah, I'm having trouble sleeping."

Honestly, this is a good thing.

But don't say that and suddenly hug me!

The moment Mo Lingyun admitted to having insomnia, she raised her arms over Yu Zhe's shoulders and naturally hugged him.

"I really have insomnia... I can't sleep at all. It's all Yu Zhe's fault. He's making me restless. I can't feel sleepy at all when I lie down."

Look at what you're saying, you're blaming me? Did I put a subwoofer by your bedside?

*Just kidding.* As smart as Yu Zhe is, how could she not know what she was talking about?

It was late at night, and it was obviously inappropriate for the girl to take the initiative to hug him. So Yu Zhe stretched out his arms and gave her a warm hug in return. He also ran his hand through her purple hair that was draped behind her back and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Good boy, you did your best today. I just gave you a little push from behind. Really, you tried your best. If you had been consumed by hatred when you saw Mo Chi and hadn't kept your composure, and had just thrown something at him, things wouldn't have been resolved so easily today."

"Waaah... Is this how Brother Yuzhe deceives girls? It's basically all your credit, but you still make me feel like I've done a great job. In reality, I've just been reaping the benefits all along."

Mo Lingyun raised her head in front of Yu Zhe, her heterochromatic eyes filled with indescribable gratitude and love.

"But this effortless enjoyment has made up for all the regrets of my life so far. Brother Yuzhe... you be the judge, on such a special day for me, with you in the next room, how can I possibly sleep..."

"Haha, you're right. Then let my Yun'er tell me, how do you want me to 'make it up' to you so you can sleep well?"

"Kiss me." Mo Lingyun's answer was simple and straightforward. "I want Brother Yuzhe to kiss me first this time. Is that too much to ask?"

Guess what?

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Lingyun caught a glimpse of the silver hair framing her face.

Outside the balcony window, a faint silver galaxy appears.

The sensation on her lips sent a shiver through her body, and she closed her eyes to feel it.

Last time at the villa, she took the initiative and kissed Yu Zhe's lips, but it was so sudden that she didn't fully feel it.

This time, I truly felt that soft, ethereal sensation.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Yu Zhe immediately took a deep breath to calm herself down, and when she looked at Mo Lingyun, she saw that Mo Lingyun was not in good condition.

Her eyes were unfocused, and her face was flushed.

She seemed to hug herself even tighter.

"One more kiss... mmm..."

As she wished.

Today is a special day for Yun'er.

That is indeed quite special.

Yu Zhe will try his best to fulfill her wishes.

This time, after their lips parted, Mo Lingyun's legs clearly went weak.

She could barely stand; if Yu Zhe hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have fallen flat on her backside.

"Are you able to fall asleep now?"

Yu Zhe asked this question.

"Hmm..." Mo Lingyun touched her lips, licked them with her tongue, and said, "Maybe... I'll have even less time to sleep?"

"Wouldn't that have been a waste of time!" Yu Zhe said with a laugh. In fact, he could also sense that Yun'er seemed much more at ease than before.

Then, she made a suggestion that gave Yu Zhe a bit of a headache.

"Hey Yuzhe, is there any possibility that our 'one-year agreement' could be brought forward... like... right now?"

"Yun'er, if I could, I would love to 'eat' you right now."

"Then...!" It was clear that Mo Lingyun was quite excited. However, she also guessed that since her brother Yu Zhe had made a promise, he would not break it because of impulsiveness.

"But we can't act impulsively. How about this: the one-year agreement can be moved up by a month! What do you say?"

"Ugh... Brother Yuzhe is so stingy, couldn't he have come six months in advance?"

No bargaining allowed!

"Hehe...just kidding."

Yu Zhe affectionately patted her head. Looking at her smile, Yu Zhe was also very grateful to her and the other girls for understanding this one-year promise.

The Su family has reached a crucial year, a period of opportunity for stable development.

Yu Zhe didn't want to be ruined by something like this.

From then on, the lesson of the emperor neglecting morning court sessions still resonated in their ears!

He is not a king, but he is now the head of the Su family, and he bears a great responsibility.

Not daring to linger too long, Yu Zhe quickly took Yun'er back to her room to sleep after calming her down.

Go to bed early if you can.

And even more importantly... my own room's throw pillows are probably going to give out!

Yu Che sensed something was wrong. If he woke up, wouldn't everything be over?

Yu Zhe, who had scrambled back to his room in a disheveled state, was nowhere near as dashing as he had been moments before.

52. Ways to take a nap

"Okay, see you this weekend, brother! You absolutely have to come back to the villa this weekend! You absolutely have to! Don't lie to me!"

The next morning.

Yu Che remained as busy as ever, with many things to attend to at the Su Group.

In particular, regarding the Mo Group in the neighboring Cangming City, Mo Chi provided the Su family with a lot of information on its business operations, which the Su family could then use to take over and consolidate control of the company.

Well, although Mo Chi is currently reporting to the Su family from the detention center, he'll probably be in prison for two years soon. There's nothing to sympathize with; this is the punishment he deserves.
