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

"Um?!"

Under Yu Zhe's threatening gaze, Xiao Lizhi could only awkwardly go over and sit next to him, confessing everything.

"Yes, there is... but I haven't had a chance to do it yet. It's about... asking me to send everyone from the student council away so I'd have some alone time... Mom said... it would be best to just go ahead and make it a done deal or something..."

"Just in case... Little Lychee, let me ask you, do you really understand what your mother means?"

"I...I understand!" To avoid being looked down upon by Yu Zhe, Xiao Lizhi forced a smile and replied, "Does 'cooking raw rice into cooked rice' mean you have to cook it?! I know that, don't I!"

"..."

Aunt Elisa, you've made a mistake.

No wonder you always say your daughter is useless. You've paved the way for her, but she still doesn't know what a road is.

Actually, Xiao Lizhi didn't care what her mother meant. She just felt that having the opportunity to be alone with her brother Yuzhe was already a blessing.

Little Lychee quietly leaned to the left again, resting her shoulder on Yu Zhe's shoulder. While secretly pleased, she added, "Oh right, Mom also said that it's okay if I don't know how. She said that if I follow her instructions and the atmosphere is right, Brother Yu Zhe will guide me to finish... So, Brother Yu Zhe, are you going to teach me how to cook now?"

"Pfft... Is there nothing else on your mind besides eating?" Yu Zhe was amused by her. "Haha... But I think sometimes I need to teach you some common sense. You're such a natural airhead, you're just too dense."

"I'm not stupid! It's just... there are a lot of things you need to teach me, Brother Yuzhe. I learn very quickly."

She's right, we need to teach her.

Well, although Yu Zhe had a one-year agreement with them, it didn't stop him from teaching Xiao Lizhi some basic common sense during the process.

Being too dull is not a good thing. If you suddenly give her a shock a year later, she might just go crazy.

So in this process, it's best to let her gradually realize some things.

For example, right now, Yu Zhe is here to give her her first lesson.

Suddenly, Yu Zhe stopped smiling, turned around, and looked at Xiao Lizhi's delicate face with a serious expression.

"Yu Zhe... Brother? What's wrong?"

"Nothing much."

Yu Zhe, who was saying nothing, suddenly grabbed Xiao Lizhi's shoulders with both hands, startling her.

Yu Zhe didn't say anything, he just stared at Xiao Lizhi's eyes up close.

Little Lychee didn't dodge. For some reason, looking into Brother Yuzhe's eyes so close to hers, Little Lychee felt a flutter in her heart that she had never felt before.

Is he finally starting to get the hang of it?

But this is only the first step!

Seeing that she didn't move, Yu Zhe continued with the next strategy.

His face slowly moved closer, and a mischievous smile gradually appeared on his face, along with a playful expression. Of course, in Xiao Lizhi's eyes, there was also endless tenderness.

Then, she heard Yu Zhe speak in a slightly provocative tone.

"So, for what you just did, I'm going to repay you double?"

Little Lychee had no idea what would happen next; she only felt her heart beating faster and faster. Even though she wanted to close her eyes, she kept them wide open.

If you close your eyes, you won't be able to see what happens next! That would be such a waste!

Yu Zhe's lips stopped just millimeters away from Xiao Lizhi's slightly trembling lips.

But they didn't kiss.

Yu Zhe looked into Xiao Lizhi's slightly flustered, deep blue eyes and smiled.

Then suddenly it changed direction!

The target is your ears!

This was a feint, a surprise attack. It made you bite my ear earlier, so this is how I repay you!

Yu Zhe leaned forward and, with lightning speed, gently bit Xiao Lizhi's earlobe.

"Huh?!"

What... what does this feel like?!

Little Lychee felt as if an electric current had passed through her entire body, quickly draining all her strength.

It's somewhat frightening, yet also feels incredibly strange...

In less than three seconds, Little Lychee was too weak to sit up straight, and her eyes were already glistening with pleading tears.

Wow, is this little idiot really that weak?

Yu Zhe quickly relented, and in the next instant, Xiao Lizhi collapsed into Yu Zhe's arms.

"Yu Zhe... Brother? Phew... What was that just now?"

Little Lychee touched her earlobe, her face full of disbelief.

She desperately needed Yu Zhe's explanation.

"It was just a whisper in my ear." Yu Zhe casually put his arm around her waist to help her relax. "How should I put it? Just now you were carrying out your mother's plan and biting my ear. Now feel it for yourself, do you know you were wrong?"

"Hmm...it's...it's fine, but please don't be so sudden...it's too scary!"

"Pfft...you're right!"

Little Lychee nestled in Yu Zhe's arms, feeling delighted.

Brother Yuzhe really acts like a child...

Even Little Lychee knew that it wasn't the act of biting ears itself that was so strange, but rather the fact that it was Brother Yuzhe who was doing it that made it so strange.

The proof is that snuggling in Yu Zhe's arms now feels even more wonderful than before...

“Brother Yuzhe…” Little Lychee slowly raised her head, “Could you teach me a little more? I’m still too stupid.”

"Don't panic."

Yu Zhe gently patted her head and said earnestly, "Over the course of this year, I will gradually teach you some common sense. After a year, I will give you a year-end summary."

4. Surprise test?

Having made a small promise to Xiaolizhi, and after chatting with her for a while in the student council, Yuzhe left.

I'm not as free as her... well, I guess I am pretty free too.

The main problem is that my phone has been receiving non-stop messages from Yun'er since just now!

When Zixiao wasn't here, Yun'er took care of this part?!

"Brother Yuzhe, where did you go? What happened?"

"Are you in love?"

"The library? Ah, I know, it's where Qin Ruoke is being taught, right?"

"Qin Ruoke is back! Where did you go again, Brother Yuzhe?"

"Aren't you back from the student council yet? Class is about to start."

"I think I'll go check it out!"

Yu Zhe quickly sent a message saying "I'm going back now!" and hurried back to the classroom.

Sigh... Maintaining a balance between them is practically impossible.

Yu Zhe also knew that Yun'er had been asking what she was worried about.

Speaking of the student council, that's Xiao Lizhi's territory, so she was worried that Brother Yuzhe would be in a relatively "passive" position there.

In other words, they were afraid that little lychee would steal the opportunity!

Ha, she really overestimated Little Lychee. If she wants Little Lychee to know what "first-mover advantage" is, she'll probably have to wait until her next life.

Class hasn't started yet, but it sounds noisy outside the classroom, so it seems Yu Zhe hasn't come back too late yet.

Sure enough, when Yu Zhe returned to the classroom and sat down, with only a few minutes left before class started, Mo Lingyun quickly leaned forward and smelled the scent of Yu Zhe's hair.

This startled Yu Zhe quite a bit: "Yun'er, what are you doing?!"

"Confirmed!" Mo Lingyun quickly sat back down, her expression grave. "It smells like another girl... Is it Xiao Lizhi?"

Wow, your noses and Zixiao's noses are so sensitive! Can you really smell this?

Yu Zhe curiously picked up his hair and smelled it, finding it no different from usual. Only then did he turn around and sigh helplessly.

"Hey... let me make this clear first, Yun'er, don't make wild guesses. Since I said it would be a year, I have been quite disciplined during that year."

"It's true that Brother Yuzhe is self-disciplined... but I'm afraid some vixens might take advantage of the situation and steal my thunder halfway through. Wouldn't I be stupid?"

"Anyway, nothing really happened... By the way, Yun'er, why do I feel like you're quite hostile towards Xiao Lizhi lately?"

"There doesn't seem to be any particular reason..." Speaking of this, Mo Lingyun clicked her tongue in displeasure, "It's because she also calls Yu Zhe 'Brother Yu Zhe'... It feels like she's declaring war on me..."

No... you're the one who's arguing with them!

Yu Zhe chuckled wryly. Since he couldn't comfort her by patting her head in the classroom, he leaned forward, looked into Mo Lingyun's eyes, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, don't worry~ My Yun'er is unhappy. I'll make it up to you when we get home. You can tell me what you want."

"..."

If it weren't for that one-year agreement, Mo Lingyun would definitely have just asked for what she wanted most!

But... now she also knows that when Brother Yuzhe is smiling so mischievously, he must be asking her what she wants to eat for dinner.

I just can't bring myself to get angry with Brother Yuzhe.

She shrugged with a wry smile: "Well... I want to eat sweet and sour fish."

"Received. Sweet and sour fish. I'll add an extra steamed one for you."

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to dinner."

After dinner, I'll ask Brother Yuzhe for a kiss—perfect! This is what sweet and sour fish should be like!

Mo Lingyun pondered this, as long as Zixiao didn't catch her, it would be fine. As the saying goes, one thing subdues another... Sometimes, for no reason, Yun'er was quite afraid of Zixiao's extremely oppressive aura.

Just now.

"Whoa! Lu Ling and Lu Yao, what are you doing!"

Yu Zhe was discussing dinner with Mo Lingyun when he inadvertently turned his head and saw Lu Ling and Lu Yao squatting next to the table, each taking notes in a small notebook!

Lu Yao slowly raised her head and said, word by word, "Remember... procurement..."
