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

"Sister~"

"!"

Yu Zhe could feel the strength with which she was holding him gradually fading.

"Um... my sister's here..."

After saying that, Qi Xinye pressed her entire weight onto Yu Zhe, and her even breathing could be heard.

Clearly, she had fallen asleep due to the effects of the alcohol.

"Oh dear... what a worrying older sister of yours."

Yu Zhe gently grasped her shoulders and carefully placed her on the sofa so she could lie down.

Ok?

The blush on her cheeks... well, it was hard to tell whether it was the flush from being drunk or the blush from shyness.

Overall, it seems quite satisfying.

"Brother, I'm back! Wasn't that fast enough? Ah! What are you all doing...?"

"Shh..."

Yu Zhe turned around and gestured for Yu Che to be quiet.

Don't make a sound~ Even though Sister Ye is drunk, I doubt you can disturb her by singing a song.

But Yu Zhe wanted her to sleep more peacefully.

My older sister has taken care of us since we were little, so from now on, I'll take care of you.

15. Tension

"Has she been drinking?"

Yu Che entered the room and looked at Qi Xinye, who was lying on the sofa, fast asleep, with a rather speechless expression.

Knowing full well that I can't drink alcohol, why did I still act so recklessly?

Well... even though Yu Che, who almost downed half a glass of wine in one gulp, has no right to criticize her.

Yu Zhe nodded and sat down to put away the phone he had just used to record the video.

“Yes.” He lowered his voice. “To be honest, Sister Ye has had a tough time. There were so many dark things in her family growing up, but she has always been optimistic. Not only that, she has also been taking care of us. Occasionally, she drinks a little alcohol and takes a nap to relieve some stress, which is not a bad thing.”

"No, no, no... Actually, I think it should be you taking care of her, brother. Well, that makes sense, she does have a strong mentality."

The two sat side by side on the same sofa, looking at Qi Xinye's sleeping face, and indeed had many feelings.

"Speaking of Yu Che," Yu Zhe suddenly pinched Yu Che's little cheek.

Yu Che showed no resistance whatsoever, letting Yu Zhe pinch her cheeks.

"Hmm? What did my brother do to me?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly wondered what you would be like if you weren't so arrogant."

"Huh?" Yu Che was taken aback. "Tsundere? I don't have that weird trait! Aren't I usually the most aggressive one? If it weren't for my brother's high defense, I would have won first!"

"I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about how you clearly care about Sister Ye and Zixiao, but you always criticize them. Try talking to them properly once in a while."

"No way!" Yu Che quickly waved his hand. "I don't care about them at all! They're all so annoying! Especially Zi Xiao, I'm so fed up with her, don't you know that, brother!"

"puff..."

Yu Zhe moved a little closer to her this time: "Look at you, are you being arrogant again, intentionally or unintentionally?"

"I didn't... Waaah, brother, you're so mean! You deliberately picked on my weakness..."

"hey-hey

"So good, so good."

Touching her head, Yu Zhe felt very content.

That's right, this is one of Yu Che's few weaknesses.

Actually... it shouldn't be considered a weakness, but rather a strength.

Despite her "tsundere" attitude, she may say she hates this and that, but in her heart she truly considers Zixiao as her younger sister and Sister Ye as her older sister, and she has always silently protected them.

If it weren't for this, this small meeting to help Qijia develop wouldn't have been able to take place today.

Perhaps it was because she cherished and valued everyone that she came up with the idea of ​​supporting Yu Zhe's proposal to have a harem.

In that case, everyone can be happy and stay together forever.

Feeling the warmth of Yu Zhe's embrace, Yu Che whispered, "Even so, I want to reiterate that I must be number one in my brother's heart... always, absolutely number one. If one day it's not like that anymore... even I will turn against them."

Don't you argue with them every day?

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe whispered and assured him again, "Don't worry, you've reiterated it, so I'll reiterate it too. You are NO.1, that won't change... uh, tied with Zi Xiao?"

"As expected, that jerk Zixiao is still the most annoying!!"

Haha... Maybe Yu Che really meant what she said, and wasn't being arrogant at all~

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

It was getting late, so Yu Zhe first took Yu Che back to the villa to rest with Lu Ling and Lu Yao. Then, he took the drunk Qi Xinye and personally helped her to her own bed before leaving with peace of mind.

They even thoughtfully placed hangover medicine and a small note by the bedside, so that if I woke up in the middle of the night feeling unwell, I could take some medicine.

I'll send her the video I recorded of her when she's drunk another day, and see if she dares to drink again.

Wait... should I cut out the part where I call her "sister" before sending it to her?

Oh well, never mind, I'll deal with it later!

In short, after a busy night, Yu Zhe finally got home and saw Zi Xiao and Yun'er fiddling with something at the bathroom door.

What are you guys working on?

"Brother, you're back!" "Ah, Brother Yuzhe, you be the judge!"

As the two greeted him in unison, Mo Lingyun pulled Yu Zhe to the bathroom door to see a small note that Zi Xiao had taped to the bathroom door.

The sign above reads, "Anyone who leaves this door and enters the living room without clothes is a dog!"

Just now... Yun'er said she'd get her opinion?

I'll give you a damn reasoning!

"You guys are still worrying about this?! And wouldn't everything be fine if you just dressed properly?"

“That’s true.” Mo Lingyun clenched her left fist and slapped her right hand. “We don’t necessarily have to dwell on this. I can take off my clothes at night and go find Brother Yu Zhe. What’s that called? Is it called Night Raid?”

"Zixiao! Immediately put up a new 'No Entry' note on my room door!"

"understand!"

Zixiao is now the strongest shield for Yuzhe.

Yu Zhe was really having a headache. If this continued, it was obvious that Yun'er's offensive was becoming more and more obvious. She really didn't learn anything good. You probably learned this initiative from Yu Che, right?

Sigh... Can't you learn from Zixiao? She's so peaceful!

Compared to these things, let them handle these matters. Yu Zhe took a quick shower and went to bed.

He was lying in bed thinking about something very important.

That's right...

The matter of Luo Xiaomeng.

But... he's the type who gets sleepy as soon as he hits the bed.

Adding to the full glass of champagne I had just drunk at the company, I didn't seem to think much before falling into a deep sleep.

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

The next morning, as he had promised Luo Xiaomeng the day before, Yu Zhe did not stay in bed and skip class. Instead, he conscientiously picked up his crossbody bag and went to school.

Sitting in his seat, Yu Zhe covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.

"Aha~"

"Brother Yuzhe, did you not sleep well last night? I didn't go on the night raid..." Mo Lingyun was puzzled when she suddenly clapped her hands. "Ah! I know! Was it Zixiao? She said I shouldn't act, but she actually went to find you herself? I was careless!"

"No! Hey... don't make wild guesses. I just really can't get used to waking up early. I have to get up at six o'clock every day. Who can stand that?"

"Oh really... I think it's fine."

"You are all too hardworking. Take Lu Ling and Lu Yao for example. I heard they get up before five o'clock every day, which is outrageous."

As he spoke, Yu Zhe glanced at Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who were sitting upright in the last row diagonally behind them, packing their bags at almost the same speed.

He quickly turned his gaze back to Luo Xiaomeng at the front.

If I have something to say today, then I should say it.

As luck would have it, Yu Zhe's gaze met Xiao Meng's gaze as she turned around.

Xiao Meng trembled with fright.

Done!

She originally wanted to prepare more and start planning during the long break, but who knew that their eyes would meet and she would be forced to carry it out ahead of schedule!

Turning back at this point and pretending nothing happened serves no purpose other than procrastination.

There was still quite a bit of time before class started, so Xiaomeng took a deep breath and, without hesitation, went around to the front row and stood next to Yuzhe.

"Yu Zhe, I have something to say..."

"It's alright, I understand. Let's talk outside; it's not convenient to talk here."

Before Xiaomeng could finish speaking, Yuzhe had already finished for her. After all, Xiaomeng seemed quite nervous, and it was best not to embarrass the girl.

Xiao Meng felt a warmth in her heart.

Ugh

Wu Yuzhe is so gentle, even at a time like this, he's still so understanding...

At the same time, Xiaomeng was also repeatedly rehearsing what she was going to say in her mind.
