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

Little Lychee has principles; she just made up her mind, and she can't waver like a child.

She shook her head, smiled broadly, slightly lifted the somewhat long hem of her dress, turned around, and was about to run out of the room and back to the banquet hall.

"No need! Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go get a cake right away, I'll be there as soon as possible!"

Watching Little Lychee run out of the VIP reception room.

Zixiao gave a helpless bitter smile and sighed.

Little Lychee has really grown up.

Even though my brother spoke softly, anyone could guess what he was saying.

If this had happened when Zixiao first met her, this naturally naive and silly girl would definitely have agreed immediately.

Now, she has lived up to her eighteenth birthday and is indeed much more mature than before.

At least, I now have three more words in my heart—a sense of responsibility.

Instead of doing whatever they want.

Everyone sat down again and waited.

Yu Zhe, however, did not. After exchanging a few words with Zi Xiao and the others, he followed Xiao Lizhi back to the banquet hall...

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

When Little Lychee came back, she looked left and right, choosing the cake she thought was the best.

To celebrate her birthday, the banquet hall was filled with all kinds of birthday cakes with different flavors, which was heaven for her, who loves sweets!

But today, she didn't choose it for herself, but for Yu Zhe and the others.

Little Lychee was holding a large tray, muttering to herself as she searched for the already cut individual cakes.

"Hmm... Zixiao likes lemon flavor, Lingyun... seems to like matcha? Sister Qi likes chocolate, Sister Yuche... Sister Yuche, oh dear, I really don't know! As for Brother Yuzhe, hehe, he definitely likes lychee flavor!"

Actually, Xiao Lizhi knows that Yu Zhe likes cakes with simple flavors and not too much cream.

Of course, she had already placed the cake on the tray.

But we also added an extra lychee flavor.

Hehe... Is this a little selfish thought? I always feel that if Brother Yuzhe eats the lychee-flavored cake, I'll feel overjoyed.

Little Lychee was still wondering if she should get some more drinks.

Suddenly, she felt as if there was a shadow in her field of vision.

This is the shadow that would be covered if several people were standing next to you.

Little Lychee turned her head in surprise, still thinking about whether she could find another lychee-flavored item.

Standing next to Xiao Lizhi were five handsome young men, around twenty years old, well-mannered, standing straight, and dressed in suits.

These young masters were all sons of mid-level family businesses in Fenghai City.

Xiao Lizhi's speech just now was stunning, and quite a few young men in the audience wanted to talk to her.

It would be so great if I could try to pursue her. If I could actually win her over, it would be like stepping directly into the pinnacle of life!

One of them smiled and went around to the side, his gentlemanly gesture clearly indicating that he wanted to help Xiao Lizhi take the tray from her hands.

But Little Lychee dodged it in a flash!

What?!

What do you want?! Trying to steal my food?!

alert!

55. I do!

The handsome guy who wanted to take the tray missed, which was obviously a little embarrassing.

But it's alright. Well, we might have arrived a bit suddenly, so it's expected that Miss Ouyang would be on guard. Outstanding girls are always so special.

The boy placed one hand in front of him and the other behind his back, then took a step back. He had just learned that Miss Ouyang seemed to have Nordic ancestry, so he performed a gesture that was popular in the West.

But Little Lychee just frowned.

what's the situation.

I'm in a hurry to get back! Why are there suddenly five people blocking my way?

Ugh, should I just leave now? It seems like all the people attending this banquet are important figures in the business world. Would it be bad to just leave like this?

Well, if they don't make way in a minute, Little Lychee will retreat immediately.

Seeing that Miss Ouyang remained silent, the young man who was bowing began to lose his composure.

Is she not of Scandinavian descent and well-versed in etiquette?

I was inviting her to extend her hand with a kiss, but she didn't react!

Well, never mind. Maybe the outstanding girl didn't want to be bound by formalities, so he simply stood up a little awkwardly, and in what he thought was a very handsome manner, flicked his black bangs and looked straight ahead naturally.

"Hello, Miss Ouyang. My name is Cheng Yunxing, the second son of Cheng Gong Group. These are some of my friends. I've heard so much about you. Your performance today was truly outstanding, and you live up to your reputation."

"Ah...? Ah, okay, Mr. Cheng, thank you for your compliment, but... is there anything I can help you with? I'm still busy here. If it's not urgent, may I take my leave?"

Waaah, Little Lychee, you really did a great job today!

This wasn't Xiao Lizhi's idea.

It was Yu Zhe who was hiding behind a cabinet not far away, quietly observing the situation.

He originally wanted to go out and help Xiao Lizhi out of the predicament as soon as possible, but thinking about it, once she got involved in family management, she would definitely encounter many similar situations in the future, at least in the next two years.

Yu Zhe wanted to see how she planned to respond.

What she just said was quite good for her, no, it was very good!

Yu Zhe thought she was going to run away right away, he was relieved!

As she was attending a banquet hosted by the Ouyang family, and being the daughter of the Ouyang family, and considering that the other party was not a rogue or a bad person and seemed quite polite, she should at least come up with an excuse to leave instead of simply running away.

This is responsibility.

This is a great opportunity to get some exercise.

Of course, if the other party makes any frivolous moves, Yu Zhe will immediately "send down divine punishment".

Let's return to this perspective.

After hearing Xiao Lizhi's words, the young master named Cheng Yunxing looked at his friends with a troubled expression.

It was a short time, but he received feedback from his friends, meaning that since she had something to do, maybe they should just let it go... We can't afford to delay the Ouyang family's affairs.

But how could Cheng Yunxing just let it go like that?

Just now, all the slightly larger families in the room were searching for this Miss Ouyang. Now, who wouldn't want to strike while the iron is hot and try to build a relationship?

Not to mention Miss Ouyang, when she was speaking on stage just now, Cheng Yunxing felt that she perfectly matched the image of his ideal girl.

He had been searching for a long time without success and was almost ready to give up when Cheng Yunxing stumbled upon it. He felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I found these guys to be my wingmen, but they turned out to be so useless!

I can only rely on myself now...

Cheng Yunxing gave a wry smile, first affirming Xiao Lizhi's words.

"Yes, Miss Ouyang, I understand you're very busy, but today is your birthday, so you should definitely relax a bit. How about this, I won't take up too much of your time. With the banquet atmosphere just right and the music so elegant and beautiful, I wonder if Miss Ouyang would do me the honor of dancing with me? If so, I would be extremely honored."

Cheng Yunxing's words effectively sealed the deal.

He is very clever.

You know, at such banquets or dances, even if it's the first time you meet someone, it's very common and not surprising to invite them to dance. Wouldn't it be a good idea to use this as an opportunity to ask for their contact information after the dance?

Furthermore, the implication is that even if you're extremely busy, if you can't even spare the time to dance, then you're being incredibly disrespectful.

Little Lychee blinked; she seemed to be thinking about how to refuse, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

At this moment, Yu Zhe was already thinking of going out to help her out of the predicament.

Ye Jie, Yu Che, and Zi Xiao had all encountered this situation before, but they were all very clever and could politely decline in a few words, never getting bogged down in such trivial questions.

Later, they even found a trick: aside from the opening remarks, they simply stopped going into the main venue.

Unfortunately, Little Lychee is not one of them.

She's so naive!

Even if she wanted to refuse, she probably wouldn't know how to say it.

Yu Zhe had already taken one step out.

But then they heard Little Lychee speak.

"Um...Young Master Cheng...right? May I ask you a question?"

"Please speak! My...my contact information is..."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I meant to ask if you know where I can find lychee-flavored juice at the venue? I've been looking for ages and can't find it. Could you give me directions?"

"ha...?"

Cheng Yunxing was stunned for a moment.

But since the other party had already asked all the questions, he could only point to a row of cabinets not far away and answer, "The juices are all over there, and the lychee-flavored juice is probably..."

"Okay! Thank you! I have to go now, I hope you find a good dance partner!"

As Cheng Yunxing stared blankly, Xiao Lizhi walked away with the tray in hand.

Little did they know, Yu Zhe, hiding behind the cabinet, was practically dying of laughter.

Haha, he's forgotten all about it.

Little Lychee is indeed a bit silly, but that's her charm!

She probably didn't even think about any reason; all she could think about was where the lychee-flavored juice was and how she could get it to Yuzhe as soon as possible.

They didn't even give that young master of the Shen family a chance to feel confused.

Let alone blaming the Ouyang family for their poor hospitality, he's probably still wondering if he did something wrong.
