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

When she got there, she saw Yu Zhe still lifting dumbbells with his back turned, so she knocked on the glass door of the balcony.

"Good morning, Brother Yuzhe!"

"Hmm? Oh, it's Yun'er. Good morning, are you awake yet?"

Yu Zhe snapped out of his daze, put the dumbbells on the shelf next to him, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Mo Lingyun cleverly handed over the towel hanging on the clothes rack.

"Hmm, I'm awake. But what about you, Brother Yuzhe? Why are you lifting dumbbells?"

"Well... how should I put it? Should I say it was just a whim?" Yu Zhe was clearly at a loss for words, but he quickly offered a reasonable explanation: "Look, I just had a bout of low blood pressure and low blood sugar yesterday. My immune system is just too weak. It can't hurt to exercise more, right?"

"That's true... but is it just because of that? Zixiao doesn't seem too comfortable either... could it be..."

"No, don't overthink it."

Yu Zhe shrugged helplessly. He knew that Yun'er was still very clever, and such clumsy attempts to hide it from her were obviously useless and would only make her think more. So he laid it all out on the table.

"Didn't Zixiao catch you while I was 'treating' your insomnia last night? So I made it up to her. Don't ask, just know that we're progressing the same way. Nobody should envy anyone else."

"I knew it!"

Mo Lingyun understood immediately and felt much more relieved.

Yes, as long as the progress is the same, that's fine. Even if it's Zixiao, if she sneaks away, it will make her feel very unbalanced.

So now it's clear: Brother Yuzhe is using dumbbells to calm down; that's quite a unique method.

Zixiao prepared a simple breakfast for Mo Lingyun, consisting mainly of cooked ingredients that just needed to be heated up. In just a short while, she called out towards the balcony.

"Lingyun, come and eat!"

"Okay! Thank you, Zixiao! Well, Brother Yuzhe, I'm going to have breakfast now. You keep exercising. Putting everything else aside, with your current tendency to get sick, you really should exercise more, otherwise we'll all be very worried."

"Don't worry, don't worry, they're practicing right now, go on."

"it is good!"

Mo Lingyun went to the dining table to eat, and Zixiao didn't go back to the sofa to watch TV. Instead, she went to her own room, as if she was afraid that Mo Lingyun would ask her any more questions.

Oh dear... I'm so shy.

Yu Zhe stood on the balcony, watching Zi Xiao return to her room and Mo Lingyun happily eating, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Actually... when I told Yun'er earlier that you two are making the same progress, that's not entirely accurate.

Because Zixiao was quite jealous just now, the atmosphere was indeed a bit too intense... We were really close to breaking that "one-year agreement" a year ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, Zixiao was rational and knew that she couldn't start this and disrupt her brother's rhythm in this crucial year.

Yu Zhe also has strong self-control. At a crucial moment, he slapped himself hard to steady his mind; otherwise, he wouldn't have been lifting dumbbells.

In terms of results, everything is fine... However, in terms of progress, Zixiao is indeed a little bit ahead of Yun'er... Although she hasn't reached the finish line yet, her lead is still obvious.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhe quickly lifted the dumbbells a few more times. I have to prove myself! The next year is obviously going to be tough. I'll just have to make the most of each month. Who knows if I can actually stick to this year-long promise!

Regardless of whether it can last, Yu Zhe can't lift this dumbbell anymore.

Yu Zhe draped a towel around his neck and stepped out onto the balcony. By then, Mo Lingyun had already eaten half of her breakfast.

Yu Zhe stood by the dining table and asked a question.

"What did Yun'er say this afternoon? Does she want to continue resting, or go to school?"

"Whatever you say, Brother Yuzhe, I'll do as you say."

"I'm fine with anything, as long as I'm with you."

"Then I want to go to school!"

Yu Zhe smiled and patted her head: "That's more like it. A student should act like a student."

Although the saying "students should act like students" doesn't seem to be something Yu Zhe should say.

But you still have to say something, right?

Seeing the light in Yun'er's eyes when she talked about wanting to go to school, Yu Zhe felt relieved.

Sending her to school was definitely the right thing to do; let her experience campus life more.

Now that you have no burdens, it's time to enjoy life and make up for the time you've lost!

54. The sun has never left.

"Brother, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You seemed so happy..."

Zixiao, carrying a small backpack, walked over to Yuzhe, who was putting his phone into his pocket. Mo Lingyun, on the other side, also curiously came over to observe.

Zixiao has now recovered from her brief moment of shyness. She didn't even dare to look Yuzhe in the eye during lunch, and her face turned bright red as soon as their eyes met just now.

Thankfully, things have finally calmed down. Zixiao knows she has to prove herself! This progress is far from enough, isn't it? Today is a good start, and she must work hard to take the initiative and strengthen her offensive in the future, just like Lingyun.

Let's not think about that for now.

Honestly... We've been on the phone since we left home, almost at school, and I haven't even had a chance to chat with my brother. If we get to school, we won't be able to talk for the whole afternoon.

It was afternoon, time for school. Yu Zhe, responding to Yun'er's expectations for school, didn't stay at home any longer, but instead took Zi Xiaoling and Yun to school after they changed into their school uniforms.

Qin Ruoke went to school ahead of her. She had no idea how Yu Zhe would go to school, and with the college entrance exam so close, she had no choice but to give up her lunch break and go to the school library to study.

Instead of talking about these things, Yu Zhe continued walking forward while answering Zi Xiao's question.

"Phone? Oh, you mean just now? I was talking to Yu Che. She seemed a little unhappy when she got back to the villa, so I have to take care of her feelings."

Mo Lingyun nodded: "Oh, it's Sister Yuche. Then it's alright."

“Yes, it’s only right that Yu Che calls her more often,” Zi Xiao echoed.

Both of them knew that the reason they could stand peacefully beside Yu Zhe on their way to school was entirely thanks to Yu Che's hard work at the company. If it weren't for Yu Che supporting them, their brother certainly wouldn't be as free and unrestrained as he was now.

But I just don't know... my brother said he'd take over the company in a year, what will it be like then...?

"Don't worry, things will only get better than they are now."

Before Mingzi Xiao could say anything, Yu Zhe seemed to be able to read minds and spoke these words first.

"After all, my goal is to allow you to live more freely. If we can't achieve that goal, we can just give up the Su Group and leave it to Father. We can go out and have fun on our own. Although this may sound a bit irresponsible, that's how I think. It would be best if the business could be run well, but my priority is to ensure that you are all happy and free from unnecessary psychological pressure every day. That's the most important thing."

eh?

I've said so much, you guys should at least give me some response, otherwise I'll seem really stupid.

Yu Zhe noticed that Zi Xiao and Yun'er not only didn't speak, but their pace gradually slowed down, and eventually they even stopped there and wouldn't move forward.

"?"

Yu Zhe had no choice but to stop and look back.

Both of them had their heads down. Zixiao fidgeted with the strap of her small backpack with her fingers in front of her, while Yun'er twirled her hair with her fingers and looked away.

Seriously... how come my brother always says such touching things unintentionally... who can handle this sudden outburst?

"What's wrong with you two?" Yu Zhe was a little confused.

Zi Xiao was too shy to speak, so in the end, it was Mo Lingyun who had to explain the situation.

"Brother Yuzhe, you need to be more self-aware."

"What did I do now?!" Yu Zhe was truly exasperated. Why was he always being told he lacked self-awareness? He was clearly very... well, he had nothing to say. For example, right now he didn't even know what he had said wrong.

Ling Yun directly pointed out Yu Zhe's mistake with a single sentence.

"For example... Brother Yuzhe, if you're going to say those flirtatious things to us just now... you should say them at home. It's not appropriate to go over and hug you on the street... or just kiss you or something. It's so uncomfortable and suffocating."

"Okay, got it, this one's mine."

The words have been made so clearly, how can you still not understand?

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

After arriving at the school, Yu Zhe first watched Zi Xiao walk into the senior high school building.

Zixiao is very hardworking. Even though she sometimes misses school to keep up with Yuzhe's pace, she doesn't neglect her studies at home. Her first place in the grade in the opening exam a few days ago is strong proof of her hard work.

Yu Zhe brought Ling Yun back to Class S of Senior Three, and felt very gratified as he walked into the classroom.

Everyone was studying diligently, but when they saw Yu Zhe come in, they all looked up and smiled in unison, creating a warm and welcoming classroom atmosphere.

Furthermore, Lu Ling and Lu Yao kept their promise to Yu Zhe and came to school for class in the afternoon.

Then, after Yu Zhe returned to his seat...

"You two, stop wiping the table! And don't polish the chairs! Oh my god, what kind of campus life are you experiencing?!"

After Yu Zhe sat down, Lu Ling and Lu Yao were busy, handing him towels and asking if he was feeling unwell. It was like they were maids at school!

The students in the class felt a pang of envy, but what could they do? The angel deserved such treatment!

However... the most outrageous one was probably not Lu Ling or Lu Yao, but Luo Xiaomeng, who came running over with a large cake box in her hand.

How dare you bring a cake to school?! Are you ignoring school rules?!

The little girl with pigtails placed the cake on Yu Zhe's table, her face showing obvious concern.

"Yu Zhe, are you still feeling dizzy? I didn't have a chance to ask you properly yesterday. Here, I went home and researched this super healthy cake. It doesn't have any cream, but I added some syrup. It might be good for low blood sugar. Try it. If you don't like it, I'll continue researching it when I get home tonight."

"You're exaggerating! I'm fine!"

Yu Zhe shook his head, holding his forehead. "I'm definitely not having a headache anymore physically, but I'm having a headache psychologically."

Does this look like the state you guys are in before the college entrance exam? If the class doesn't do well on the exam, won't Yuzhe be the one to take the blame?

Actually, Yu Zhe is overthinking it. As long as Yu Zhe comes to the class, the class has a soul, and everyone's motivation to learn is unprecedentedly high.

Speaking of the college entrance exam preparation... Xiao Ruoke hasn't arrived yet?

Just as I was thinking about her, two minutes before class started, Qin Ruoke walked in through the back door of the classroom carrying a pile of exercise books, looking worried. She sat down in her seat, her pink hair drooping, looking listless.

It's obvious that he encountered some trouble while struggling with a sea of ​​practice problems in the library.

Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work~ If you don't understand any of the questions, I'll teach you during self-study later."

Upon hearing Yu Zhe's voice, Qin Ruoke turned her head in surprise. The moment she saw Yu Zhe's face, the worry on her face immediately subsided.

"Hey... Yuzhe, you're here. I'm really... ashamed. The closer it gets to the college entrance exam, the more problems I have. Really... If you have time, I'll trouble you later."

"Hehe, no big deal."
