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

This includes you, Sister Ye, right?

I never expected Sister Ye to be so charming when she gets serious...

The smile on her face possessed a mature beauty and a sense of reliability that was different from Xiaomeng's and other girls'.

understood.

Of all these people, Sister Ye is the most reliable!

"Um... Sister Ye, if they have any conflicts during this trip, you have to help me mediate, okay?"

"Hehe... Just leave it to your older sister. Really, Xiao Zhe, you should have said that a long time ago."

"Didn't I... overestimate my abilities a bit?"

"No, you did a great job, it's just that you don't quite understand girls' feelings, but..."

Qi Xinye suddenly licked the corner of her own mouth discreetly with her tongue.

This dealt a small blow to Yu Zhe's heart.

"Xiao Zhe, shouldn't you give me some 'compensation' later? I can't work for you for free, right? At least at the level Luo Xiaomeng just went through... no, it has to be above that."

"Sister Ye... I feel like you've learned to bargain too. Is this a side effect of taking charge of the Qi family?"

"No, Xiao Zhe, you should call this growing up."

growing up?

Yu Zhe secretly glanced at her chest out of the corner of his eye.

Don't grow up.

Watch out, Yu Che and Xiao Meng might get angry with you!

39. Do you want to see the stars?

"Young Master! We're back!"

Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who had just braved an artificial blizzard, finally returned home.

Above the locomotive.

Both of them still had a pile of snowflakes on their heads, and Yu Zhe, quite cleverly, handed each of them a towel.

"Have you returned the machine?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Ling looked at Luo Xiaomeng lying there with some apprehension: "Uh... Young Master, is this a suitable topic to discuss?"

"It's alright, she's stabilized on her end."

Even after managing to stay calm, he still whispered that Yu Zhe was scum, something he dared not let Xiao Meng hear.

Lu Yao got really excited when this was mentioned.

She had a towel on her head and her hands raised above her head. Even though her expression wasn't very expressive, you could still tell she was excited.

"Impressive... Snowfield... Ghost Blade got away."

"Yes, Lu Yao has become much more cheerful. What a good girl."

Haha~ Now Yu Zhe treats Lu Yao like a child, trying every day to open her heart and make her less withdrawn.

His facial expressions and gestures have become much richer, but his speech...

I still don't understand!

Yu Zhe gave Lu Ling a look, signaling her to explain.

Lu Ling understood immediately.

"Ahem, well then, let me translate for my good-for-nothing sister. Young master, she was saying that we just returned the two big machines to 'Deceptive Blade,' and she was waiting in the snow. She's really amazing... she pushed two such big machines away all by herself, while we could only share half of the load... She's a good opponent, so my sister wanted to spar with her again, but she slipped away."

The Deceptive Blade...

Yu Zhe had almost forgotten this somewhat childish nickname, which was used to address Lin Yin, the former bodyguard of the Su family and Lu Ling and Lu Yao's senior.

Yu Zhe thought it was childish, but in their "world," it was a title that struck fear into people's hearts.

But just how outrageous is Sister Lin Yin?! She personally came to retrieve the equipment in this freezing weather?!

No, that's not the point.

Yu Zhe raised his right hand in a chop motion and tapped Lu Yao on the head.

Good heavens, she didn't budge an inch.

"Listen to Lu Yao, no fighting! Don't get competitive when you see someone strong. Have you forgotten how Sister Lin Yin broke your wrist during the family's test?"

"Hmm... I... and Aya... have improved..."

Hey, you still dare to feel wronged?

There was no other way; Yu Zhe knew that Lu Yao was competitive and wanted to defeat stronger opponents in order to protect him better and more confidently.

But... that cannot be a reason for her to be hurt.

Yu Zhe knows Lin Yin well; she's also someone who gets easily carried away and gets excited when she sees a strong person. She doesn't know her own strength and doesn't hold back when she attacks. If Lu Ling and Lu Yao really want to fight her, they're bound to break a few bones.

If that's the case, then it's quite clear how to put it.

"Listen up, this is my order, Lu Yao, and you, Lu Ling, are not allowed to spar with Sister Lin Yin without permission. Training is fine, but don't get carried away. This is an order, understand?"

"Yes, young master! I'll definitely keep a close eye on my foolish older sister!" "Okay..."

Hmm, Yu Zhe was very satisfied. As expected, the word "command" was the most effective way to deal with Lu Ling and Lu Yao.

I just hope that in the future, they can gradually be allowed to live as freely as ordinary girls.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Zixiao walked over to Yuzhe and asked him a question.

"Brother, when are we going to set off again? If we wait any longer, we'll probably have to drive through the night."

"It's best not to go at night... You won't see much scenery, and you won't be able to sleep well. Lu Ling, do you think we can get to the city before nightfall if we leave now?"

“It’s not very realistic.” Lu Ling came to the conclusion after a little calculation. “Our timing was originally just right, but because of the execution of the family head’s wife’s plan, we have been delayed for nearly two hours. Even if we go at full speed, we will not arrive at the outskirts of the city at the latest by nine o’clock at night.”

"So...not only can't I get to my mom's place, but I also can't find a hotel to stay in temporarily...?"

This is a problem. Yu Zhe doesn't want everyone to squeeze onto the front of the train to sleep; that would be too uncomfortable. Sitting together is quite spacious, but if everyone lies down, it would just be a miserable mess.

But Yu Zhe already had a good idea.

"Zixiao, do you want to see the stars?" Yu Zhe suddenly asked.

“Stars…” A light flashed in Zixiao’s eyes. “Indeed, speaking of stars, it feels like I haven’t really looked at them properly in many years. When we were kids, we could see a sky full of stars when we looked up, and we could even see the Milky Way on a clear day. But I don’t know when it started, but in Fenghai City, we can only see a few sparse stars when we look up. If I could, I would really like to see them again.”

Hearing this topic, Yun'er chimed in, "Hehe, I'm an expert in this area. During my ten years in that small mountain village, I could see stars every day! When I was bored, I would look at the corresponding constellations in the sky according to the astronomy books that Brother Yu Zhe gave me. Day after day, I feel like there's no constellation I can't point out."

"Very well, then it's decided."

Yu Zhe clapped his hands and announced the decision.

"Hey everyone, let me tell you something. We probably won't reach the city today anyway, so there's no need to rush. Let's just stay overnight in the suburbs. Actually, there's something I haven't told you. I brought enough tents in the train's storage compartment. Let's camp out tonight!"

"Long live Brother Yuzhe!"

The first one to get excited and want to hug Yu Zhe was Xiao Lizhi, but Zi Xiao pulled her away in time.

She is playful by nature and has a strong yearning for it.

Being able to pitch a tent and look at the stars was a scene she could never have dreamed of!

But apart from her, everyone looked at each other, seemingly with a lot of worries.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhe wanted to respect their opinions before making a decision.

But it seems like no one wants to talk about it?

"..."

At this point, you need to find an honest person to ask.

That's right, it's you! Little Ruoke, looking around, you're the most honest one here!

Yu Zhe stood directly in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Little Ruo Ke~ can you give me some information?"

Perhaps Qin Ruoke wanted to ask, just like Qi Xinye had done earlier, "Is there a reward?"

But with her personality... even if she wanted to fight for it, she wouldn't be able to say those words.

Ugh... My damn honest nature makes me so easy to take advantage of.

Since Yu Zhe asked that question, Qin Ruoke could only answer him in a low voice.

"I think... they probably think the same way I do. The temperature is so low in this high-latitude region, even in the suburbs it's not warm enough. Yuzhe... we didn't tell you because we didn't want you to be upset. Even though you're the only boy here, you're the weakest... we were worried you wouldn't be able to handle it and would really get sick, you know..."

You're really honest!

Yu Zhe's self-esteem was hit once again.

He shook his head, patted Qin Ruoke's shoulder to show her that it was good that she could speak, and then raised his voice slightly to explain to them.

"Of course I know about the temperature... I don't want to freeze, and I can't bear to see you freeze either. Don't worry, this tent is custom-made, with insulating material and built-in heating. It's a technological marvel. Heh heh, I guarantee it will be warmer inside than a train engine!"

Therefore, don't underestimate modern technology!

40.Starry sky

That's fine.

Honestly, what everyone is most concerned about isn't anything else. Having fun is secondary. The most important thing is Yu Zhe's health. After all, only if he's healthy can everyone have a happy future. You're good, I'm good... cough, that sounds a bit strange!

In short, it was out of concern.

Since this tent has the function of keeping you warm, you can have a rare camping trip without any worries.

Enjoy your trip without worry!

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

After restarting, the locomotive continued to travel along the railway, its headlights flashing across the vast snowfield.

Aside from refueling with diesel at a stop along the way, the locomotive didn't stop at all and headed straight for its destination.

As darkness fell completely, Lu Ling finally decided to stop the train on the outskirts of a relatively bustling city.

This place not only has a great environment for stargazing, but also relatively good security, making it perfect as a temporary rest stop.
