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

"understood."

That makes sense; how could a childhood sweetheart not know?

Xiao Zhe always keeps his word, and he has a strong sense of self-control. He is a genius and very serious, and nothing can shake him when he is studying.

But... the more it is like this, the more pain he must have endured last night.

Feeling sorry for Xiao Zhe's situation, Qi Xinye sighed, "Sigh, if I have the chance, I'll try to persuade Zixiao and Yun'er for you. They live with you, how can they not compete with each other all the time? In the end, you're the one who suffers. It's really not easy for you..."

I wouldn't say I suffered; I was quite happy mentally, but my body just couldn't take it.

So if you can persuade them, please do so!

"Sister Ye...you're the most reliable one! You must persuade them!"

"Haha, leave it to me, sister."

Yes, having a childhood sweetheart as an older sister is so lucky.

"Oh dear, Brother Yuzhe, what are you trying to persuade me of? Hmm? Hello, Sister Qi!"

Mo Lingyun came out of the washroom and hugged Yu Zhe from behind before she saw Qi Xinye on her phone screen.

Yun'er smiled awkwardly, relaxed a little, and greeted Qi Xinye.

Seeing this, Qi Xinye's brow twitched even though she was still smiling.

Living together is so convenient, huh? She'll have to find a way to stay there for a few days sometime, or invite Xiao Zhe to visit the Qi Family Manor.

"Good morning, Yun'er. Are you going to school today too?"

"Yes, being a student means you have one less day to go, so I cherish it very much."

"That's good news. Oh, my meeting is about to start. You two, please say good morning to Zixiao for me. I'm leaving now."

"Sister Ye, you're busy." "Goodbye, Sister Qi!"

Qi Xinye deliberately left the screen lit for a while before ending the video call.

Seeing Xiao Zhe's morning photos gives me extra energy; I'll watch them as much as I can!

Where is Zixiao?

Yu Zhe put his phone in his pocket and asked a question.

Mo Lingyun looked around and clapped her hands: "She said she went to find some ointment. Brother Yuzhe, didn't you have a backache?"

"Who do you think did this...?"

"If there's a ten percent fault, I'd only take four at most," Mo Lingyun said softly. "Brother Yuzhe, you don't know, Zixiao hugged you really tightly yesterday. I could feel it from the other side. Ugh... a woman's possessiveness is truly terrifying."

"Do you even have the right to say that?!"

Are you using less force?!

However, Yun'er's face turned pale the next moment.

Because Zixiao patted her shoulder from behind with a half-smile.

"Ling Yun? Is this tattling on me so early in the morning?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Yun'er turned around and quickly helped Zixiao take the plate of breakfast from her hands. "How could I dare! I was just worried that we didn't have any more plasters at home. If we didn't, I'll go downstairs to buy some."

"Oh, I hope so. It's alright, there are still a few left."

"I'll put them on my brother first, and then I'll buy some more after school."

"Okay...okay? Haha, Zixiao, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll go pack my bag!"

"it is good."

Ok?

It's amazing how Yun'er seems to have become a little afraid of Zi Xiao without us even realizing it.

According to Yu Che, she and Zi Xiao should have the "aura of an empress".

Ha... I must say, as expected of Zixiao, she's usually calm and collected, but she possesses this unique talent without even realizing it.

That's good. It allows Yun'er to experience more human warmth and various emotions, which will help her make up for the time she has lost over the years.

Yu Zhe lifted the back of his school uniform so that Zi Xiao could apply the plaster to him.

"Thanks, Zixiao."

"There's no need to thank me... Brother, is it okay to stick it here?"

"A little higher, yes, right there, ouch, that hurts!"

"!"

Zixiao pressed the right spot, and with just a little force, Yuzhe let out a strange cry.

Feeling sorry for her, Zixiao quickly applied the plaster and then let go of it.

Afterwards, she gently stroked the part where the plaster was applied, her eyes sparkling: "I'm sorry, brother... I won't follow Lingyun's nonsense anymore. I was really a bit willful yesterday... I know that brother's health is not good and he is very fragile."

"what?!"

A man can't say no!

I strongly disagree with what you said!

“What does this have to do with your nonsense?” Yu Zhe assured. “See the dumbbells on the balcony? I’ve made a plan to adjust my sleep schedule and do push-ups every day to solve the problem at its root.”

"Pfft... I hope my brother will keep his word."

"Absolutely!"

Yes, Zixiao thinks this is good. Her brother's health is poor and he gets sick easily. It would be great if he could improve his health with this momentum.

Everything else is secondary; Yu Zhe's health is Zi Xiao's biggest concern.

It's impossible to build muscle. Yu Zhe used to train, and he seems to be the type of person who doesn't easily build muscle through exercise, but it has a miraculous effect on improving physical strength!

Yu Zhe touched his waist, which was covered with a plaster, and made a silent resolution.

Hmph, Zixiao, just you wait and see. Don't even think about making my back hurt again in a year. I'll be the one applying plasters to your backs then!

This is what they call "the river flows east one year and west the next"!

37. I'll go and say it for you.

At school, the Lu sisters, Lu Ling and Lu Yao, did not come to the classroom today.

The two of them messaged Yu Zhe. It seemed that Yu Che had assigned them a lot of tasks, and they really didn't have the energy to keep an eye on things at school all the time.

Moreover, according to them, going to school is just an experience for them, and putting their energy into it would interfere with many other things.

That's true...

Even though they have already mastered all the courses, they still have to sit in the classroom from nine to five, which is really difficult for them.

Because... the academic pressure of senior high school students is no less than the work pressure they face!

So in other words, rather than saying they were refusing to go to school, they were actually saying "I'm off!"

Before coming to school, I thought it would be exciting, but after arriving, I realized what immense pressure really means. It's so true.

However, Yun'er seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit. She was probably bored staying in the small village and found this to be quite fun.

Well, in any case, Yu Zhe thinks that as long as they can find a lifestyle they like, that's enough, and they shouldn't be bound by formalities.

As soon as Yu Zhe entered the classroom, he saw a blue-haired, twin-tailed loli running towards him.

Xiao Meng?

"You've been diligent in collecting attendance sheets again today. Here, take it."

"Hmm...that's secondary." Xiaomeng took the attendance sheet from Yuzhe's hand with a hint of displeasure.

Then, he deliberately pretended to drop it on the ground accidentally.

So Xiaomeng had to bend down to pick it up, hehe, and take this opportunity to whisper something to Yuzhe.

The classroom is crowded and noisy, so this is the only way to appear natural. Besides, Mo Lingyun is there too, so we can't anger her. This is what we call being tactful!

"..."

However, Xiaomeng discovered a devastating truth.

Others could bend down and speak right to a seated person's ear, but because of her short stature, even when she bent down, she couldn't see Yu Zhe's ear at all; she could only see his waist...

No, I can't let my pride be hurt so early in the morning!

But it's alright.

Yu Zhe was quite the gentleman. When he saw that Xiao Meng's attendance sheet had fallen to the ground and that she had suddenly stopped moving, he picked it up for her while still sitting down.

Now Zhe's ears are right in front of him!

After expressing her gratitude for nature's bounty, Xiaomeng quickly maintained her natural state and whispered something close to Yuzhe's ear.

"I changed my hairband today... Yuzhe, you used to say you liked blue, so I changed to a blue one. What do you think? Blue hairband and blue hair, I've made a little progress. Do you like me a little more now?"

"You... well, maybe a little bit?"

"Hehe, then I'll keep up the good work." Xiao Meng picked up the attendance sheet from the ground, stood up straight, and laughed in a normal volume, "Great job, Yu Zhe! Today's attendance sheet is also neat and tidy. I, the class monitor, give you a thumbs up! I wish you a good mood all day!"

"Haha...Are you some kind of heartless sign-in machine? It's quite amusing."

"Right!"

"Alright, alright, stop joking around. Go collect the other attendance sheets, class is about to start."

"okay!"

After Xiaomeng left, Mo Lingyun lay on the table and poked Yu Zhe's arm with her finger.

"Brother Yuzhe? Why does Sister Xiaomeng look so happy today? Is there something good?"

"Good news...maybe? Maybe not?"

Yes, as long as you're in a good mood, every day is a good day.

"Seriously... why are you playing the riddle game? Oh well... I'll order a cake from her after school, her cakes are absolutely amazing!"

"That's true."
