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

"Okay, okay! I'll help her collect it right away... Um, Yuzhe, what did you just say?"

Xiao Meng's dad used to agree to everything Yu Zhe said, but now he has to raise questions.

"I said... I'll take her away tomorrow!"

"How can that be!" Xiaomeng's father patted his knee. "Yuzhe! I don't know what the situation is like in your extended family. It's not that we can't accept her wish, but you can't take her away tomorrow. You just finished your college entrance exams, you're still kids. How can you... At least you should wait for her to grow up for two more years, and let her spend two more years with us, her parents!"

Xiaomeng's mother wanted to say something, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized...

Honey, we might not be on the same page as what we were just talking about.

“Um… Uncle.” Yu Zhe realized this and simply corrected him directly, “No, please don’t get excited, let me finish. I’m taking Xiao Meng away tomorrow because I want to take her on a round-the-world trip. I was worried you might not feel at ease, so I came to ask for your opinion. I promise that I will protect her safety 100% during the trip.”

"A round-the-world...trip?"

Xiao Meng's dad was stunned.

He pondered the four words repeatedly, but they seemed to have nothing to do with the reason for his earlier excitement.

Xiaomeng's mother also gave him a reproachful look, meaning that he should speak more carefully. Today's conversation was very important, and as parents, we shouldn't embarrass Xiaomeng.

The young dad was so embarrassed...

I just misunderstood and said something!

13. Of course I'd love to!

Perhaps even more surprised than her father was Xiaomeng herself.

She is currently experiencing both joy and sorrow!

Sadly, it turns out Yu Zhe didn't come to propose and take her away...

That's true... what she just said was just her own guess, and there was no basis for it.

The good news is...

"A round-the-world trip?! Yu Zhe, would you take me with you?!"

"Huh? Isn't that what we said in the beginning? This is just fulfilling a promise."

"But..." Xiaomeng scratched the back of her head and smiled blankly, "But I feel that I have absolutely no chance of scoring higher than Qin Ruoke in the college entrance examination, so... I didn't have any hope at all, haha... Or rather, Yuzhe, are you kidding me?"

This was different from when she told Qin Ruoke. As Xiaomeng said, she had little hope of beating Qin Ruoke in the exam, so telling her directly was already a pleasant surprise.

Yu Zhe leaned slightly closer to her shoulder.

"This is the purpose of my visit today~ Everyone is welcome, including Xiao Ruoke, and of course you too, Xiao Meng. Pack your things and we'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay... good!"

"!"

They're pouncing again!

Xiaomeng was just showing off her relationship to her parents, but this time she

I'm really excited.

Woohoo, traveling around the world, my dream, I never thought it would come true at such a young age!

Xiao Meng even made a declaration about the future to her parents.

"Mom and Dad! I'll go take a look first. When I make money in the future, I'll definitely take you two there!"

While comforting Xiaomeng's father, who was feeling down after saying the wrong thing, Xiaomeng's mother responded to Xiaomeng with a look of relief.

"Yes, good child. We are content with your thoughtfulness. As long as you have fun, we are happy too."

"mom..."

Sigh, Xiaomeng's mom won't tell her that she and Xiaomeng's dad actually have a round-the-world trip planned for them in a few years.

Silly girl, you said you'd earn money in the future. Actually, our family isn't short of money for travel. It's just that we have to run a shop and take care of you, little one... that's why we haven't had time to travel yet.

That said... Xiaomeng's mom is still very happy with the current situation.

To our utter surprise, our daughter's travel plans beat us to it; it's quite amusing.

Xiaomeng's dad snapped out of his daze and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Yu Zhe, it's not that your uncle doesn't believe you, even though you just made that promise, I still want to confirm your trip again... Is it safe? What route are you taking? Are there any areas with extreme weather? What mode of transportation are you choosing? And..."

"cough!"

Xiaomeng's mother coughed lightly, signaling her husband to ask them one by one, because who could remember them if she asked them like that?

And... if you ask any more technical questions, wouldn't that reveal that we've already done our research on round-the-world travel?

Xiao Meng kept rubbing her cheek against Yu Zhe's shoulder, just like a clingy cat.

Yu Zhe chuckled wryly and patted her head before seriously replying to what Xiao Meng's father had just said.

"Safety is guaranteed. To be honest, I have done several round-the-world trips before, which involved some extreme weather and locations. But this time, with Xiaomeng and the others, I will not take any routes with a high risk factor."

"The main route starts from Fenghai City, along... and eventually reaches the Nordic region, with most stops in large cities."

"As for the main means of transportation, for the first half of the journey, in order to enjoy the scenery along the way, I found a special railway carriage. Ah, don't worry, it's chartered, just for us. For the second half of the journey, I just need to get on the road, so I chartered a plane for a direct round trip. There's no need to wait, and it won't take too long. All in all, it will only take about half a month for me to send Xiaomeng home."

"..."

Xiaomeng's dad and mom were a little stunned.

For the first half, they were listening attentively, thinking about whether they could offer some constructive suggestions for Yu Zhe's travel plans.

But in the second half... especially when it comes to transportation.

They understood.

There are some things that you really can't offer your opinion on.

Xiaomeng's dad is also a proud man, so he nodded in agreement, pretending to be calm.

"Hmm, not bad, the route planning is very reasonable, and your transportation is quite good. Just as you said, the safety level is good. Yu Zhe, you've put in a lot of effort. Thank you so much for taking my daughter out to see the world!"

"Not at all, Uncle, you flatter me. It's what I should do."

Xiaomeng's mom looked at Xiaomeng's dad and was speechless. "Why are you still so concerned about saving face? You can't even grasp the important thing right now."

Even though I was pleasantly surprised that I couldn't see Xiaomeng, I also felt a little disappointed.

What is that child expecting? Don't you, as the father, know?

If you're too embarrassed to say it, I will.

Xiao Meng's mother first poured Yu Zhe another cup of tea, and then asked in a rather tactful yet slightly direct manner.

"Yu Zhe... Auntie wants to ask you a question about Xiao Meng... What's your attitude?"

The air suddenly froze.

Including Xiaomeng.

In the past, she would have shyly shouted, "Mom, don't say anything unnecessary!" But not today.

Because she really wanted to know Yu Zhe's attitude... The college entrance exam was over, and it was time for a conclusion.

Yu Zhe placed his hand on the rim of the teacup, paused for only a moment, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

Then...

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaomeng's parents.

He took the initiative to put his arm around Xiaomeng's slender and petite waist.

And maintain a firm gaze and tone, facing the camera directly without avoiding any eye contact.

"Uncle and Aunt, if possible, could you please let me take care of Xiaomeng after she graduates from university?"

"what..."

Xiao Meng's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

The scene before my eyes and the sounds around me gradually became blurred.

For the past six months... she had been longing for this moment.

The little girl who used to run alone to the park to look up at the stars and long for fairy tales has finally received fairy tale treatment.

Thank you, Yu Zhe... for accepting my unreasonable love at first sight.

Thank you so much...

"Xiao Meng? Xiao Meng?"

"Um?!"

When she came to her senses, Xiaomeng's mother was anxiously waving her hands in front of her.

"You silly child, don't let me down at this crucial moment! Yu Zhe is asking you a question, do you agree or not?"

"I..."

Yu Zhe knew that the silly little girl must have been in a daze just now.

He patiently repeated what he had just said.

"Xiao Meng, would you be willing to be with me in a few years?"

"Yes!! I'm willing! Of course I'm willing!"

Little Meng's dad, this old father was already in tears.

"Wow...that's great! That's great! Yuzhe, you're not going to lunch today, are you?"

"If you can walk, then have dinner at our house! Although our humble abode is certainly no match for your grand villa, since you've accepted Xiaomeng, this is your home now, isn't it?"

"Haha... Certainly, Uncle, don't get excited. It's not about being simple or not. Home is where family is. I should feel honored to be able to eat here."

"Look at this child, he's really good with words."

While smiling, Xiaomeng's mom gave Xiaomeng's dad a warning look, telling him not to cry.

How shameful!

The matter is temporarily resolved...

However, Yu Zhe was actually quite curious.
