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

Getting back to the point, Yu Che hurriedly ate a couple of bites of the breakfast that Zi Xiao had prepared at seven in the morning, and then said goodbye to Yu Zhe in the entrance hall.

Yu Zhe waved his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry, I already told you I was going back to the villa, would I lie to you? Besides, even if I didn't go back, you would definitely come looking for me, don't I know you?"

"Hey, my brother really understands me!"

"That's right, I know exactly what you're thinking."

"That's great. When will you study my body, brother? Isn't that simpler and more direct than studying the mental realm?"

Tsk...

That guy is really mischievous; he's still up to no good even before he leaves this morning.

However, since she's only temporarily taking on the family responsibilities in place of Yu Zhe at the company, we won't lecture her on these minor issues today.

Instead, Yu Zhe reached out and touched her silver hair.

"I'm entrusting the remaining months of the Su family to you. Just wait, when it's my turn to take over the family, I'll let you be a real retired little princess."

"Yay! Hmm... But looking at it this way, is my retirement age a bit early?"

"That's right, oh..."

I have a feeling that... after what happened with the appraisal report yesterday, Yu Che has become even more outrageous.

For example, right now, Yu Zhe was smoothing her silver hair on the side when the girl suddenly turned her head and stuck out her tongue to lick his hand unexpectedly.

"Don't push your luck..."

"Hehe, I won't see my brother for several days in the future, so what's wrong with me replenishing my energy first? It's not too much to ask, is it?"

"..."

As Yu Zhe watched her mischievously play with the silver hair in front of her, twirling it around his outstretched hand, a very natural thought inevitably arose within him...

That means the next few months, hopefully we can hold on!

With a combination of pushing and persuasion, Yu Zhe finally managed to get Yu Che out. The maid's car was already waiting outside to take her to the company.

I won't bother Lu Ling and Lu Yao today. Didn't Yu Zhe tell them yesterday to sleep in until they naturally woke up? It seems they've been quite obedient today. There's no noise from downstairs; the two sisters are probably still sleeping.

Mo Lingyun was also still asleep. She had been tossing and turning so late yesterday because of her so-called "insomnia," so it was only natural that she would sleep in a little longer this morning.

As for going to school?

Never mind, sometimes when I feel tired, I'll just send Xiaomeng a message to ask for leave, and she'll tell the homeroom teacher so Yuzhe doesn't have to go.

This is common, and as Yu Zhe is the top student in the grade, no one would question it.

Zixiao is the same; whenever Yuzhe doesn't go to school, she doesn't really want to go either.

Hey, Zixiao... is she going back to sleep now?

Yu Zhe yawned, thinking of going back to his room to climb into bed and sleep some more, but suddenly felt a chill.

He was so startled that he stopped yawning halfway through.

"Zi, Zi Xiao?"

Yu Zhe, who had just turned around,

Then I saw Zixiao standing by the dining table, not clearing away the breakfast dishes as usual, but looking at Yuzhe with a strange look.

And...didn't I notice just now? Does Zixiao have dark circles under her eyes today?

"Zixiao, did you not sleep well last night? You don't look well."

"Yeah, brother, you guessed right. I didn't exactly stay up all night, but I only slept for a little over an hour, right?"

"What's wrong?!"

What's going on? Is insomnia contagious?!

Yu Zhe abandoned his plan to go back to sleep and quickly came over to check on Zi Xiao's condition.

"Are you feeling unwell? Tell me, and I'll go to the pharmacy to buy you medicine. No... we should probably go to the hospital for a checkup now. It's strange that you suddenly can't sleep..."

You can't blame Yu Zhe for being flustered, it's just that Zi Xiao's expression is indeed not good right now.

Besides the fatigue from staying up all night... there seems to be... a certain jealousy?

Huh?! Jealousy?

Zixiao shook her head and gently patted Yuzhe's shoulders with both hands.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. Haha, I'm definitely not sick, well... I can't say that. I guess I am sick, but only you can cure me."

This convoluted explanation left Yu Zhe completely confused: "What do you mean?"

"Okay, brother, you don't understand? Let me tell you. I was asleep yesterday, and then I went to the bathroom. But I noticed that the lights in the hallway and on the balcony were on, so I got curious and went to the balcony to take a look. And guess what I saw, brother? Anyway, after I got back to my room, I couldn't sleep all night."

"I...this..."

What else can we see...?

Yu Zhe understood the reason for her jealousy and insomnia.

"Haha... Zixiao, listen to me, Yun'er was really emotional yesterday, after all, she just resolved such a big thing, right? I was just trying to calm her down, so... so..."

Okay, Yu Zhe can't keep making this up anymore. Who kisses just to soothe emotions? Yesterday, the atmosphere was just right, so we just naturally kissed... a few times.

Yu Zhe struggled to lift his head. He felt that... Zi Xiao was probably going to tear up again because of jealousy, just like always.

He quickly thought of many words to comfort her.

But this time, Zixiao just sighed and gently leaned her head against Yuzhe's chest to talk.

"I... I understand, my brother is just too outstanding. Even if I wanted to have him all to myself, I couldn't, right? But even if I understand that, seeing that scene still affected me deeply. In fact... I felt terrible, tossing and turning all night, like my most precious treasure had been taken away by someone else... Brother, can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Feel sorry..."

"Ah, no, no, brother, you don't need to apologize. After all... 'Strive for first place, not for being the only one,' that's a consensus between me and Sister Xinye now. I just want to complain a little sometimes."

"Thank you, Zixiao... But I've already said it before, to me, you and Yuche are special, you don't need to compete with anyone else for anything."

"Um..."

Even knowing this, Zixiao still felt uneasy.

She's such a jealous person; seeing what happened on the balcony yesterday, she practically exploded on the spot.

Therefore, Zixiao made a suggestion.

"Can you compensate me?"

“Okay.” Yu Zhe didn’t ask about the details; he would grant Zi Xiao’s request as long as it was something she asked for.

Zixiao pointed to the balcony, then looked away shyly.

"What you did to Lingyun yesterday...do exactly the same thing to me, you can't be biased...right?"

"Zixiao...yes, I understand."

I would be delighted.

In a quiet place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Yu Zhe led Zi Xiao slowly to the balcony. After closing the balcony door, he completely replicated what he had done for Yun'er yesterday, and even slightly enhanced it for Zi Xiao!

Well, after this "compensation," Zixiao should be able to get a good night's sleep!

53. Curious?

Mo Lingyun didn't actually sleep until noon. Even though she had insomnia, she didn't have the habit of sleeping in. She dozed off in bed for a while, but by around 9:30, she just couldn't fall asleep anymore.

But when she left her room, finished washing up, and went to the living room, she witnessed a rare and magical scene.

Instead of chasing after her brother Yuzhe to eat the fruits and vegetables as usual, Zixiao sat obediently on the sofa watching TV...

Hmm... watching TV isn't strange, but the problem is that Zixiao doesn't seem to be really watching TV...

The TV channel she was watching was a super boring food program, and it was a rerun!

Mo Lingyun quietly walked around and found that Zixiao's gaze was not on the TV, but on the vase next to the TV, with a faint smile on her face.

More importantly, the blush on her cheeks is just too obvious!

Not only her, but Mo Lingyun also turned her gaze to the balcony and saw her beloved brother Yu Zhe.

Uh... he didn't seem very natural either.

He'd usually be sprawled out in bed at this time, but right now he's wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, lifting dumbbells on the balcony!

Okay, you can tell he was really taking it seriously. A few strands of his long silver hair were wet with sweat, giving him a different kind of beauty than usual.

Wow! The first thing Mo Lingyun saw when she woke up was a "silver-haired beauty" lifting dumbbells, which was a real treat for her eyes.

Exercising early in the morning?! No... this can hardly be called early in the morning, can it?

This...this situation is a bit confusing. I just took a nap, what happened?

Mo Lingyun was so curious that she naturally sat down on the sofa next to Zixiao.

Once she sits down, Zixiao will definitely see her.

"Wow! Lingyun, when did you wake up? You didn't even say anything."

"Oh... I just woke up, but you and Brother Yuzhe woke up quite early."

Ling Yun became even more curious. What exactly was going on? Why was she so startled?

Before Zixiao could speak, Mo Lingyun continued, "By the way, why is Brother Yuzhe lifting dumbbells over there? Doesn't he usually hate exercising? Why is he in the mood for it today?"

In reality, Mo Lingyun was asking Zixiao what had happened.

Zixiao seemed a little embarrassed. She looked away and replied, "Ah...maybe...perhaps, it's because brother is free today? Hmm, that must be it. Anyway, Lingyun, I'll go make you breakfast. How about scrambled eggs and bread slices? Otherwise, the leftover bread slices will go to waste. Wait a little while, okay?"

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Mo Lingyun's attempt to stop her failed, and Zixiao, as if fleeing, quickly got up from the sofa and rushed to the kitchen, making up an excuse.

"..."

I became even more curious.

You won't tell me, right? That's okay, I can ask Brother Yuzhe!

Mo Lingyun also stood up and walked straight to the balcony.
