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

Just as Yu Zhe was about to turn around and call out to Zi Xiao to change the subject, Yun'er returned.

Divine soldiers descended from the sky.

Following her words, Yu Zhe naturally moved her hands down from the two sisters' heads: "Yes, Yun'er, you're back a little early today."

"After all, we don't go overtime every day." Yun'er smiled brightly at Yu Zhe, then skillfully took the vase from their hands. "Lu Ling and Lu Yao, thank you. I'll take good care of this vase too. It's almost lunchtime, would you like to come in and eat together?"

"No, no, Miss Mo, we...we won't bother you any longer. Dinner is ready. Since it's time to eat, young master, please hurry. My sister and I will be leaving now!"

"Leave...I don't want to..."

"Sister! Be good!"

Lu Ling was so angry!

My older sister is great in every way, except she's a bit slow on the uptake!

You should at least try to hide your thoughts a little! Being so direct every time only increases our chances of failure!

"Okay, eat breakfast early, and you guys should cook some good food too," Yu Zhe instructed, then turned to leave.

"Okay! We definitely will!"

Lu Ling responded hastily, and quickly pulled Lu Yao to the side of the corridor to begin scolding her in a low voice.

"Sister! Why are you doing this again? I've told you so many times!"

"Okay, listen to me, don't mess around! Why are you always thinking of causing trouble?!"

"It's not...making trouble..."

"Still arguing?"

"Well..."

Lu Yao sometimes feels like she's a failure as an older sister, getting scolded by her younger sister every day, especially lately.

"Listen, sis, we can't go on like this. We have to stop here for now. I know you want to stay for dinner with the young master, and I want to even more than you do, but we have to restrain ourselves! Think about it, when the young master invited us to dinner, how much of it was a genuine invitation, and how much was just polite formality? Wouldn't our presence make him feel awkward?!"

"I...think...it's a 50/50 chance...?"

"It's all just polite talk, sis! Wake up!"

Lu Ling is about to break down. I feel like I can't handle you anymore!

Tell me, can't we just develop properly and then launch an offensive?

Our long-term plan has just begun, and you're always thinking about overtaking the tower and accelerating the process.

What is the only possible outcome?

You're definitely just feeding the enemy, sis!

45. There aren't that many rules.

Why are those two suddenly having a "strategy meeting"?

Yu Zhe didn't immediately close the door and go back inside, but instead remembered that there was something he hadn't explained yet.

"Lu Ling? If you're not busy, come over here again."

"Hmm?! Young Master is coming right away!"

Now is not the time to lecture my good-for-nothing older sister. If the young master calls, I will come at his beck and call!

Lu Ling gracefully appeared in front of Yu Zhe, startling him so much that he staggered.

No wonder he exercises every day... he walks with a swagger.

Yu Zhe leaned forward, close to Lu Ling's ear, looked left and right, and then looked back at the living room. Yun'er and Zi Xiao should be in the kitchen before he felt at ease and whispered his instructions.

"Lu Ling, I need you to prepare something for the banquet at the Ouyang family tomorrow... Do you understand?"

"I understand... I'll definitely do it! Then... I'll take my sister back to rest now!"

"Alright, get some rest. We'll be busy tomorrow."

"Good afternoon, young master!"

After saying this, and keeping Yu Zhe's instructions in mind, Lu Ling quickly took Lu Yao and made a quick getaway.

This formidable combat maid shouldn't even have the word "run away" in Lu Ling's dictionary, but right now, she's "slinking away" in front of Lu Yao's bewildered gaze.

It's not because what Yu Zhe just told me was difficult.

Rather, it's because...

The young master was speaking right up to her ear!

Waaah, the young master has no idea that she is naturally very sensitive to hearing. Just now, Yu Zhe was trying to tell her something quietly, and he was very close to her, and the warm breath hit her ear.

In those few seconds, Lu Ling felt like an eternity had passed!

However... this feeling was a good one; it was an experience she had never had before.

The area near his ear... it felt different from when I touched it. So this is what it feels like when the young master breathes on it...

It felt warm, and like an electric current was passing through it.

It feels tingly, but at the same time, it makes you feel at ease.

So that's how it is... Now I understand why the young ladies always crave the young master to do this and that to them...

It's truly amazing.

Back in her apartment, Lu Ling was still a little reluctant to leave.

Just as Lu Ling was lost in her fantasies, Lu Yao reminded her, "Little Ling... your ears are... bright red... do you have a fever?"

"no!"

As punishment for interrupting her fantasy, Lu Ling angrily reached out and poked Lu Yao's earlobe.

"ah!"

"..."

Lu Ling never expected that her sister, who usually didn't even have any expression, could actually utter such a... strange single sound.

Oh, I understand.

I'm afraid even my older sister doesn't understand it yet.

Looking at Lu Yao's current state, she's covering her ears, staring blankly at me, her eyes filled with great confusion.

Goodness... Lu Ling always felt that she and her sister were twins, and that they were very similar in many ways.

I didn't expect we all had the same sensitive points!

This is very valuable information.

"elder sister."

"Ok?"

“I think I know how to get closer to the young master now,” Lu Ling said.

"don't know..."

Lu Yao was only puzzled by the strange feeling she had after Xiao Ling poked her ear earlier, and did not try to guess what Lu Ling was thinking.

Well, Lu Ling, I've just come up with a great opportunity to help my sister break through the young master's psychological defenses!

"Well, sister, you don't need to understand. Just follow my instructions. Oh, right, I need to go to the family villa to get the things the young master asked me to bring. You're cooking today, so I have to have a hot meal when I get back. Don't go to sleep while cooking like last time, understand?!"

"I know... I'm... the older sister..."

"If you know you're the older sister, then you should at least be a little more reliable!"

I'm too lazy to even comment on her.

Last time I cooked, I grilled fish, and my sister completely forgot! Not only did the fish turn into charcoal, but she also ruined the grill!

You're making things easier for me!

Lu Ling knew that if she wanted the young master to change his opinion of the two of them, she first had to transform them from combat maids to normal maids who could take care of the young master's daily life!

Of course, the combat maids won't be left out either; protecting the young master is the top priority!

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

night.

Yu Zhe's side.

"Brother Yuzhe! What clothes should I wear tomorrow? Can you help me pick some out? Sigh... I feel like after living in this small village for a while, I'm completely out of touch with current fashion trends."

"What kinds of styles are they? They're all so flashy!"

Mo Lingyun sat on the sofa and scrolled through her phone screen. The various dresses on the screen were specially supplied by the Su family. She only needed to click to reserve one, and a Su family maid who was in charge of this would deliver it to her the next morning.

It is quite convenient.

However, the sheer number of varieties posed a challenge for her.

Thinking back to the last time I wore a formal dress, it was the last time...

No, the last time I wore a formal dress was when I was a child. Back then, my mother always picked out children's dresses for me. I had never been exposed to such a wide variety of clothes in different colors.

"Huh? Where's Brother Yuzhe?"

After calling out towards Yu Zhe's room without receiving a response, Yun'er turned around and asked Zi Xiao, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, drinking goji berry water for health.

Zixiao replied, "As for my brother, at this time... he should be in his room watching anime with headphones on, right? Shall I go and call him?"

"Oh, no need, no need. He rarely has any free time, I can ask later... Hmm? By the way! Zixiao, can I ask you something? What kind of dresses do you and Sister Yuche usually wear to banquets? Can I have the same style as you?"

When in doubt, just copy someone else's homework.

It's simple, and it's sure to look great.

Yun'er still trusts the aesthetic sense of Zixiao and Sister Yuche.

Zixiao picked up her cup again and took a sip, her words equally health-conscious: "A formal dress? Oh... I've forgotten when I last wore one. Yuche probably hasn't worn a formal dress in a long time either. She wears formal attire more often."

"Haven't worn it recently?"

"Ah."
