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

"I see, I understand."

The conversation between the genius mother and son was so simple and unpretentious.

They understood each other's meaning in just a few words.

Yu Zhe thought for a moment and tapped the table with his finger: "How about this, after Zi Xiao and I finish our college entrance exams, I'll take them to visit you, and we can treat it as a graduation trip, okay?"

"That long?! There are still six months to go!"

"You don't want to? Then come back now. But without my intervention, I can't say whether Yu Che will accept you."

"..."

Yang Qiuyun looked into Yu Zhe's eyes, and after a long pause, she said calmly, "Long time no see... Yu Zhe, you've really become more and more cunning."

"Huh? Mom, are you praising me?"

"That's right, I'm praising you. You couldn't manage the Su Group otherwise. I'm very pleased. However... on the day we officially reunite, I still hope you and Yu Che will go easy on me and not embarrass me too much..."

"Haha, Mom, your predictions are spot on! I never thought I'd hear you say something so submissive. Don't worry, the gift I've prepared for you after our reunion will definitely satisfy you!"

"..."

Oh no!

Having harbored resentment for so many years, Yang Qiuyun knew that her children were bound to be "filial" to her.

Seeing that Yang Qiuyun was a little flustered, Yu Zhe knew that he had achieved his goal.

He chuckled mischievously, "Alright, Mom, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep. Take good care of yourself while you're away~ I'm hanging up now."

"Hey, wait a minute, Yuzhe, I think this matter can be discussed further..."

beep...

Yu Zhe hung up the phone at the perfect time.

I imagine that from today until the reunion, Mom will likely spend some time agonizing over "what gift to give".

Hehe, you can worry about it now, because I won't forgive you easily~

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

A seaside villa somewhere across the ocean.

Yang Qiuyun put down her phone with a wry smile, her eyes full of helplessness.

Of course, there was also the lingering affection from the conversation just now.

The moment she hung up the phone, a woman suddenly stood up next to her, her movements swift and decisive.

It was as if it appeared out of thin air.

This is Lin Yin, Yang Qiuyun's former and current bodyguard.

"Lady Qiuyun, have you finished your phone call with Xiaoyuzhe?"

"Yes, Lin Yin, thank you so much for helping me find Xiao Yuzhe's contact information."

"It's nothing, as long as you can rest assured. Sigh... I heard it just now too. If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

"I have my reasons too... Let's not talk about this anymore. Is dinner ready?"

"Yes, Lady Qiuyun, we've already found the most famous chef in the area to prepare it. It seems to be... some kind of seaweed strips?"

"As expected of you, 'Deceptive Blade' isn't just strong in combat, it's also incredibly efficient at these kinds of trivial matters!"

"Ugh... If possible, please don't make me deal with this kind of mess. Can't you just hire a regular maid?"

Lin Yin expressed the same sentiment she had shared with Lu Ling and Lu Yao a few days ago.

The Su family really are... always making the most of their talents, what's the point of making their top-tier combat maids go looking for food every day!

Once I've helped Xiao Yuzhe, I won't have to go through all this trouble with you!

"Oh, aren't we old partners? I trust you to handle things."

Yang Qiuyun smiled, gave a few more instructions, and then let Lin Yin leave first.

She gently brushed her silver hair, which was being blown by the sea breeze, and gazed at the horizon where the sea and sky met in the distance with eyes deeper than the ocean.

The mother, who had been away from her hometown for a long time, gently stroked the screen of Yu Zhe's phone, which had just been there.

He whispered.

"Yu Zhe, Yu Che, Zi Xiao, Mom really misses you... Hey, I'm really looking forward to the day we can finally reunite..."

31. You forgot?

"Phew~ I'm so tired, time for bed, tomorrow's going to be another beautiful day~"

Back at the apartment, Yu Zhe took a quick shower and then muttered to himself as he went back to his room to sleep.

It's not even midnight yet. If it were last year, he would have said that midnight is just the beginning of the night, and if you don't stay up until three or four in the morning, are you even a man?

But things are different now. Ever since Yu Zhe was hospitalized a few months ago and Zi Xiao forced him to adjust his biological clock, he has hardly stayed up late anymore.

It's not just because of the mandatory measures, but also because once your biological clock becomes a habit, you'll naturally feel sleepy at this time.

After his slightly damp silver hair had dried a little, Yu Zhe plopped down on his bed.

"Mmm~ So soft and fluffy~"

cough!

Yu Zhe sat up abruptly and gently slapped his own cheek.

what happened?

The things I said to myself today sounded so childish.

He himself knew very well why.

The reason is the conversation I just had with Yang Qiuyun.

I was separated from my mother for many years without any reason. As a child, no matter how mature or sensible I am, it's still heartbreaking to know that I will be able to see her again soon.

It's inevitable that there will be a desire to be pampered...

Even the genius Yu Zhe was no exception; he was very starved for love, which is why he always longed for it.

Mother's love is the greatest heartbreak.

It is also the most effective remedy to heal his heart.

No matter how harsh his words were, how could he not think about it?

With a glimmer of hope, Yu Zhe closed his eyes again and slowly lay back down on his pillow.

Then, in the early hours of the morning after the rain, I drifted peacefully into sleep...

Weird.

Boom...boom...

Two soft knocks came from the door of the room.

hiss...

It was my mistake to think I could sleep peacefully tonight.

When Yu Che was here, she would always come and cling to Yu Zhe to sleep. Now that she's not here, a second Yu Che has appeared!

That's right, it's Mo Lingyun. Even if she's not quite as clingy as Yu Che, she's still quite attached to him.

"Oh... Yun'er, right? I'm not asleep yet, come in."

squeak~

Hearing the sound, the door was opened.

"Hey... Sorry to bother you, Brother Yuzhe~"

Mo Lingyun lowered her voice and slipped through the crack in the open door.

By the light of the nightlight, Yu Zhe turned his head to take a look.

The first thing you notice is their heterochromatic eyes, which look even more enchanting in the dim light.

She was wearing a light purple nightgown that matched her long purple hair, and she was hugging a large pillow with both arms.

This looks like they want to come over and sleep together?

"Sigh..." Yu Zhe sighed softly, "Yun'er, what's wrong with you now?"

"Have you forgotten... Brother Yuzhe, what day is it today?"

Mo Lingyun stood at the head of the bed, her expression somewhat sullen, puffing out her cheeks as she looked down at Yu Zhe.

In the past, she would have understood and retreated temporarily, but today she could not back down.

"day?"

Yu Zhe thought for a moment, but actually couldn't remember.

"Today isn't your birthday either... Spring Equinox? No, that has nothing to do with us."

"Oh really! Brother Yuzhe, you've gone too far!"

Mo Lingyun didn't care anymore. She simply put the pillow next to Yu Zhe and lay down on it without any hesitation.

Yu Zhe suddenly felt an unsettling closeness between their bodies, and quickly shrank back into the corner to avoid her.

"Yun'er?!" Yu Zhe felt that he might have really forgotten something. That shouldn't be the case. He never forgets things. "Oh, just tell me. What did I forget? If you don't tell me, I won't know either."

Mo Lingyun was still a little angry, but it wasn't apparent from her actions.

She wrapped her legs around Yu Zhe's legs, as if trying to meld her body into his, pressing herself tightly against him.

Looking into Yu Zhe's eyes, she complained softly.

"Really... Brother Yuzhe! Didn't we make an appointment a few days ago?"

"Are you done yet?! We sleep together every Tuesday, once a week, and I really look forward to it... You came back without even calling me, and when I came by myself you asked me why I came. That's not nice!"

"?"

Yu Zhe was stunned: "When did you make this appointment? How come I didn't know?!"
