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

With her twin ponytails, Yu Zhe lay there like Sleeping Beauty, playful and lively, simply a fairy from a painting!

Okay, the trip has started very smoothly, and they are in a great mood!

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

After a long while, Yu Zhe's hazy consciousness gradually awoke to Qi Xinye's voice.

"Xiao Zhe, Xiao Zhe, wake up! We're almost at the train station, time to change trains."

"Hmm? Hmm... We've arrived..."

Still unaware of what had just happened, Yu Zhe yawned and sat up from Qi Xinye's lap.

"Ah... Sister Ye, thank you. Have I been sleeping on your lap the whole time...?"

"It's alright, Xiao Zhe, this is your older sister's responsibility."

Hmm... Sister Ye is so considerate.

but...

Yu Zhe woke up and looked around, feeling something was off.

Why is everyone avoiding his gaze? It seems a bit unnatural.

(I have something to tell you all! The "Cute Goddess" event has started, it's the one on the homepage. I signed Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao up, but it's my first time participating and I don't have any experience. After signing them up, I realized I shouldn't have signed them up for both. Signing them up for both will split the votes, making it difficult for either of them to advance. So if you want to support them, please cast your votes for Yu Zhe, who currently has the most votes! It's better to combine some votes. You can vote on the novel's homepage. Thank you everyone!!)

22. The Little Train

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Do I have... ha... something on my face?"

Yu Zhe had just woken up, or rather, he wasn't fully awake yet; he was still a little groggy. He stretched and yawned.

What's wrong with everyone? They're all acting like they've played some kind of prank, especially Little Lychee, who's obviously trying to suppress her laughter.

Never mind, they're probably just a little excited about discussing the trip.

Yu Zhe didn't delve into it. He patted his cheeks with both hands, making a crisp sound with a little force.

Wake up, we're about to set off!

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

"Everyone, get out of the car. Let's find the person we're in charge of first. Lu Ling and Lu Yao, you two go park the car and then come to the location I mentioned earlier to meet up."

"Understood, young master! Phew..."

"call..."

Why are you two trying not to laugh too?!

Without giving Yu Zhe time to ask any questions, Lu Ling drove off.

Yu Zhe instinctively wanted to touch the back of his head to express his confusion.

But before his hand could touch her hair, Yu Che quickly jumped up and grabbed Yu Zhe's arm, pulling it back to her.

At the same time, she acted quite naturally.

"Hey brother! Don't waste time! What if we miss the train?"

"Huh? It's okay... Anyway, we chartered the train ourselves, we didn't buy tickets. Hey, don't pull me, don't push me!"

What's going on?!

Yu Che, Zi Xiao, and the others are now receiving an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Logically speaking, you should be able to feel your hair being tied up with a headband. The strange sensation at the back of your head will be caused by the hair pulling on your scalp, making it hard not to notice.

So at first they just wanted to briefly see Yu Zhe's pigtail hairstyle, but now that Yu Zhe has gotten out of the car, they haven't even noticed...

Then keep it like that a little longer! It looks so pleasing to the eye!

The reason I didn't notice is because Xiaomeng's headband is amazing. It's loose and comfortable, and her parents made it specially for her. It looks exactly the same when it's on or off.

"Xiao Meng? Why didn't you tie your hair up today?"

"Haha... How could I get a puncture every day? Sometimes I just want something new. Anyway, don't ask me anything, let's go!"

"..."

It is indeed very suspicious.

Even if it was suspicious, the drop-off point was very close to the docking point that Yu Zhe had arranged beforehand. He was pushed to the side of a normally abandoned railway track, only a few dozen meters away. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

During that short walk, Yu Zhe felt like he was being stared at by many people. That's not surprising, but why did it feel more exaggerated than usual?

I don't think there are actually words on my face... Would their pranks be that cruel?!

Beside the platform, there was a luxuriously decorated locomotive parked over there.

locomotive?

The locomotive was adorned with a ring of colorful ribbons!

Why did you decorate a locomotive so beautifully?!

Yu Zhe had no idea that this was the heartfelt wish of the entire Su family. They were deeply moved to hear that their young master, who had been staying at home for years, wanted to go on a trip.

Our young master is finally no longer cooped up in his room reading comics and catching up on anime, waaaaah!

Standing next to the locomotive as a representative was Lin Mu'an, the old butler of the Su family.

He was dressed in a butler's tailcoat and bowed to Yu Zhe and the others from a distance.

This old butler is extremely senior; he's been the butler since Yu Zhe's grandfather's generation, so Yu Zhe can't afford to be negligent.

He quickly took two steps at a time and walked ahead, standing in front of Lin Mu'an to signal him to straighten up.

Little did anyone know that when the old butler Lin Mu'an saw Yu Zhe's current appearance, the wrinkles on his face trembled.

But he was a professional butler, well-trained, and never smiled no matter what the situation.

The young master has developed strange quirks, which is his prerogative and should not be commented on casually.

"Young Master, the vehicles are ready. You and the young ladies can depart at any time."

"Um... Uncle Lin, if I may be so bold as to ask, how long have you been waiting here?"

"Not long, young master, it'll only be eight hours."

Eight hours?!

Yu Zhe glanced at the girls who had just arrived behind him, then turned back to face him.

"Eight hours... Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?"

"Put on ribbons and sticky notes."

"Go back to sleep, hey!!"

Yu Zhe covered his face with his hands, speechless. What?! You actually had the patience to spend so much time on such a trivial matter!

Lin Mu'an said earnestly, "That's not right, young master. This is the Su family's blessing for you. Please make sure you have a good time."

"Okay... I appreciate the thought." What could Yu Zhe say? He could only nod. "Uncle Lin, you should go back and rest... Also, tell everyone that if something like this happens again, it must not happen again!"

"receive."

The locomotive looks small from a distance, but it's actually quite spacious.

Yu Zhe peeked inside and then let everyone step onto the train one by one.

He remembered something and turned around to ask, "Uncle Lin? By the way, who's the driver? Do I know him?"

"Yes, the driver is someone you know, our family's maid, Lu Yao."

"..."

Alright, alright, Yu Zhe doesn't want to complain anymore.

Lu Ling and Lu Yao, these two maids... you've practically surpassed humanity.

You got a train driver's license in just a few months?!

Yu Zhe finally understood why Lu Yao had been humming a little tune with a blank expression on the way, as if she were very proud of herself.

So she has an important mission to fulfill now...

Lu Ling and Lu Yao were jogging towards them from a distance, while Yu Zhe politely bid farewell to Lin Mu'an.

"Uncle Lin, I'll take my leave now. See you in two weeks."

“Yes, young master. Lu Ling and Lu Yao bear a great responsibility this time. Only by completing the escort mission on this journey will they be qualified to be your guards. This is also a test for them, and..."

Lin Mu'an paused, a hint of guilt in his voice, "Young Master, also... after you meet Madam Yang Qiuyun this time, if you see Lin Yin beside her, please be sure to call my daughter back for me. That child is disobedient..."

"clear."

Yu Zhe didn't need to ask any more questions.

Sister Lin Yin, my parents' former bodyguard.

Actually, she didn't need to follow Yang Qiuyun after she left the family, but she always stayed by Yang Qiuyun's side, and Yu Zhe should actually be grateful to her.

But for her father, Lin Mu'an, it must have been very difficult to bear the fact that his daughter had been running away from home for so many years.

Don't worry~ Yu Zhe will definitely bring his mother back this time, and he'll also bring Sister Lin Yin along.

Lu Ling and Lu Yao stepped into the cockpit first, ready to begin the new phase of their journey.

Yu Zhe also boarded the cabin and waved to Lin Mu'an on the platform.

Goodbye, Uncle Lin!

"Young Master!"

Ok? !

The little train engine started slowly, and the cabin door gradually closed, but before the cabin door was completely closed and the sound of the wind beside the train disappeared.

Yu Zhe seemed to have heard something Lin Mu'an said.

"Young Master! Although I don't want to interfere with your hobbies and interests, please don't lose yourself! You are a boy, please maintain your integrity! You will have to shoulder the responsibilities of the Su family in the future!"

Hobbies? Interests?
