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

Qin Ruoke is the same in this respect.

However... there is one thing that is the same as what she said: perhaps Qin Ruoke really should try to communicate more with Zixiao and the others. She really should change her introverted and self-conscious personality.

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

Just as the two were talking, Yu Zhe, who had changed into a down jacket, jumped down from the locomotive's hatch.

His appearance put everyone at ease, allowing them to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery nearby.

But Yu Zhe now needs to "capture" one of them.

He cupped his hands together like a megaphone and shouted towards a direction a little further to the east.

"Hey!! Xiaomeng! Come with me for a second!"

"Huh?"

At the sudden shout, Xiaomeng turned around in surprise.

She initially wanted to ask what was wrong, but then she thought again that this wasn't the place to ask.

Fortunately, Lingyun and Xiaolizhi were further away, so they didn't hear it, and the others didn't make any move.

She gets to spend some time alone with Yu Zhe and go sightseeing by herself. Who would ask why such a great thing is possible!

Xiao Meng first waved to Yu Zhe in response, and then skipped over through the snow.

As expected of Xiaomeng's parents... they even prepared Lolita outfits for her winter clothes, making her look like she was cosplaying.

The overall blue and white design, with two large ribbons on the head that make it look like a rabbit, is very lively.

Not long after, Xiaomeng met up with Yuzhe.

For the first time ever, Yu Zhe took her little hand in his own.

And then they started walking forward.

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

far away.

Lu Ling observed the situation in the direction of the train engine, then turned around as if nothing had happened, and led Lu Yao forward very naturally.

"Young Master has made his move."

"Hmm...it's starting..."

29. Wind and Snow

From afar, Zixiao also saw what was happening over there.

She was distracted for a moment and a snowball the size of a sandbag hit her on the forehead, making her stumble.

"Ah! Stop! Pause! Yuche, come here, quick!"

"What? You're begging for mercy already? That's boring."

Yu Che casually tossed the large snowball he had just rolled aside, feeling a bit disappointed.

Hehe, just now she took advantage of her petite size to beat Zixiao so badly with snowballs that she couldn't find her way around. This is called revenge... no, it's called older sister's concern!

She strode over to Zixiao's side with an air of indifference, only to see Zixiao staring in the direction Yuzhe had led Xiaomeng away.

"Yu Che! Yu Che! Something's up! Brother is actually taking Senior Sister Xiao Meng alone? This is bad... very bad! Let's follow them!"

"Stop right there!"

Yu Che grabbed her arm: "What's wrong with you, Zi Xiao? Did you think you've transcended, become detached, or even ascended after what happened last night? You're even interfering with your brother's walk? Isn't that going too far?"

"No..." Zixiao grew increasingly anxious as she stared at Yuzhe's departing figure. "This isn't a walk. What if they run into danger if they go too far? We should keep an eye on them, Yuzhe, we need to hurry..."

"Ah! Don't run that way! I can't stop you... Su Zixiao! Stop right there!"

"Yu Che?"

Zixiao didn't understand why Yuche was stopping her.

But Yu Che knew all too well.

Her words showed no mercy to Zixiao.

"What do you mean by being afraid of danger? You clearly saw Lu Ling and Lu Yao follow them, right? They're definitely safer than us following them. Let me be frank, aren't you just worried that your brother is going to take Luo Xiaomeng away to do something unspeakable?"

"Can you please not be so blunt?"

"What's wrong with that?" Yu Che was furious at the mention of this. "I told you, you've definitely become more possessive after what happened last night. Let me tell you, my possessiveness is no less than yours. If I could, I'd go after her right now!"

Yu Che kept pulling on Zi Xiao's arm to persuade her, and the two of them left a long shoe print on the snow, but Zi Xiao didn't take more than a few steps forward.

As her brother was about to disappear from sight, Zixiao turned around listlessly.

"Yu Che... I know you're going to tell me again that you support your brother having a harem and that you won't let me get jealous and interfere with others, but please, can you do this when I can't see it? It's really painful when I see it but you won't let me do anything about it, you know..."

"I know, I know, because I'm the same way, and my principles are the same. You can get close to my brother, but it's best not to do so in front of me, or I might lose my temper."

"Then why..."

"Are you stupid?!"

Yu Che really couldn't take it anymore!

How did Zixiao, that blockhead, manage to get there first?!

She bluntly retorted, "Is that what you're thinking about right now?! When your brother takes Luo Xiaomeng away, in your mind, it can only mean that he couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to vent his frustrations on her?!"

"Don't talk nonsense! My brother isn't that kind of person!"

"See, you know that too."

"Uh..."

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.

Having only seen the surface, Zixiao subconsciously made a judgment based on her preconceived notions.

But the truth... is obviously not what she guessed.

"Are you calm now?" Yu Che, with her small frame, was quite tired from holding her up.

She shook off the snowflakes, patted the snow off her knees, and continued, "If you think about it for a moment, you'll understand. Although my brother did seem to be holding back just now, well, even if this kind of thing has lingering effects, is it really that big? Will there still be aftereffects from what happened last night?"

At this point, Zixiao's face instantly turned bright red.

No... she was too embarrassed to say, it wasn't just last night, it happened this morning when she was showering too...

That's probably why Yu Zhe's lingering effects haven't dissipated yet...

We need to reflect on our actions.

Continuing on this topic, Yu Che reorganized her words.

"That's not important. Anyway, you should know that even if your brother couldn't hold back, he wouldn't go to Luo Xiaomeng to solve it for this reason. After all, that child hasn't experienced her first time with your brother yet, right... Before that, your brother would never be so casual. He would definitely do it when he has the best atmosphere for everyone. For example, you, yesterday you definitely didn't just do *that*, right?"

"That...is indeed..."

Zixiao recalled that before yesterday's event, Yuzhe had told her many childhood memories.

That's right... Brother is always this gentle, Yu Che is absolutely right.

"Then there's only one explanation for this situation," Yu Che said logically, hands on his hips with obvious pride. "He has some plan to carry out, which is why he chose to act alone. Wouldn't you just get in the way if you went over there? Do you understand?"

"I understand... but what exactly is it about?"

"How should I know! You idiot!"

"..."

Although she was suddenly scolded again, Zixiao felt a little wronged.

However... after her conversation with Yu Che, she realized something.

This seems to be more than just a simple trip.

My brother must have some unresolved issues on his mind during this trip.

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

The wind and snow seemed to be getting heavier.

Even though Xiaomeng was wearing a thick down jacket, she still felt a bit chilly.

But Yu Zhe held her hand, which warmed the little girl's heart, and she didn't complain at all from the very beginning.

But it seems we're getting further and further away from this boundless snowfield?!

For the safety of Yu Zhe and herself, Xiao Meng had no choice but to speak up and remind him.

"Yu Zhe? Where are we going? We'll get lost if we go any further."

"will not."

Following Xiaomeng's pace, Yu Zhe slowed down and looked at her with a smile.

"What do you mean? Are you afraid to take the risks with me? Or are you just scared?"

"I'm not really scared, but I feel unsafe. And the snow seems to be falling heavier now, so maybe we should..."

"Xiao Meng".

"Ok?"

Yu Zhe is a sensible person, and Xiao Meng thought that he must have considered her suggestion and was preparing to take her back.

Little did Xiaomeng know that what Yuzhe said next was quite unexpected.

"Right now... it's just a sudden whim? I suddenly want to walk around in this heavy snow. I think it would be really interesting, and it's a rare opportunity. I don't plan to go back for now. If you're scared, you can go back first. I'll take you back and then come back on your own. That's fine too."

"I..."

Xiao Meng blinked her beautiful big eyes, her confusion evident.

But without much time to think, she gripped Yu Zhe's hand and replied.

Do you really have to go?

"Yes, I'd really like to go and see."

"If you really have to go... okay, I'll go with you. Seriously... you should know when to stop, it'll be really troublesome if the snow gets worse, okay?"
