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

He sat down next to Xiaomeng and patted her shoulder with one hand.

"come on."

What kind of oil should I use?

"I'll be back in a bit, you can start over."

"This time it really won't happen again!!"

How could you possibly fix that! You have a malicious heart!

Xiao Meng continued to hug her knees tightly, and as if in a fit of pique, bumped Yu Zhe's elbow with her shoulder.

"Next time, you help me solve it."

"Ok?"

"Hmm won't help, you definitely heard me!"

"Then... I shall respectfully comply?"

"Then why don't we do it now..."

"Don't do it now." Yu Zhe resignedly leaned against the inner edge of the tent. "I just wanted to be more considerate of your feelings, so I stayed a little longer. Believe me or not, in ten or twenty seconds at most, someone will come to 'check up' on you."

"What? Weren't they all asleep? How could they be..."

"Brother, are you inside?"

"..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zixiao's voice rang out from outside the tent.

Yes, it hasn't been ten minutes yet, and Yu Che should still be asleep.

But that doesn't mean Zixiao doesn't have it.

Just before entering Xiaomeng's tent, Yuzhe noticed that Zixiao's tent light was still on. He guessed that she couldn't sleep at all and was thinking of following Yuche's example and squeezing into a tent with Yuzhe.

Then they realized the person wasn't there, so they came to look for them.

Yu Zhe turned on the light in Xiao Meng's tent earlier to prove his innocence.

As we all know, the lights are usually turned off during that kind of activity.

With the lights on, I can say I'm here to chat with Xiaomeng, or play cards, it's fine.

Yu Zhe had already found a way for himself and Xiao Meng to escape.

So, Yu Zhe calmly unzipped the tent from the inside, crawled out, and even stretched.

Xiao Meng poked her head out of the tent to observe the situation.

"Phew~ Zixiao, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"It's my brother who's awake so late."

"Haha... I came to talk to Xiaomeng about tomorrow's schedule. I was just looking to chat with some of you who were still awake, and I ended up here with her."

"Yes, yes, I really believe it. I believe it very much."

I get the feeling you don't really believe it...

"Yes, how could I not believe it? After all, you went to Xiao Lizhi's place first. Even though she was asleep, you still went in and stayed for a while. Then you went into Xiao Meng's tent, which had already been turned off. Hmm, Lu Ling and Lu Yao's surveillance video is indeed reliable."

Lu Ling and Lu Yao, you sold me out!!

Zixiao shook her black hair and gazed at the boundless starry river.

"It's okay~ I'm not being unreasonable, I can understand, but this matter should be resolved."

Then, to Yu Zhe's astonishment, Zi Xiao made a "1" gesture with one finger.

"One box?"

"A box of what?!"

47. Worth a try

The next day, as the sun broke through the horizon at the edge of this vast plain, Yu Zhe opened his eyes.

There was no alarm clock, and no one woke him up, but Yu Zhe still woke up.

He struggled to climb out of the tent, and the distant sunlight shone on his face, bringing Yu Zhe a sense of relief.

Ah... it's so good to be alive.

God knows what he went through last night!

Yu Zhe turned back with lingering fear, looking at the tent where he was staying.

Inside the open tent, you could see Yu Che and Zi Xiao huddled together, sleeping soundly.

Just a few minutes ago, Yu Zhe was standing between the two of them.

Being sandwiched between two girls is really not a good feeling... especially when you're squeezed into a small space by the two girls you like the most.

To reiterate, this is really just a single-person tent!

Yu Che alone is one thing, but Zi Xiao, you're crowding me too! I said I'd sleep in your tent, but you wouldn't agree!

Yes... After the farce in Xiaomeng's tent yesterday, Zixiao followed Yuzhe to this tent.

Yu Zhe couldn't refuse either; Zi Xiao said she couldn't sleep alone outside.

I hope to come and stay with Yu Zhe and Yu Che for a while.

They couldn't just let the little princess suffer from insomnia, so Yu Zhe had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

The three of them huddled together yesterday, and nothing strange happened.

—Because they can't fully utilize their abilities.

Otherwise, things would have gotten out of control long ago.

Also, Yu Zhe felt it was a miracle that he could fall asleep at some unknown time in the early morning.

Yu Zhe stretched towards the distant sun, and a large white bird, whose name he didn't know, flew over him, letting out a clear chirp.

Ah! This is what traveling should feel like!

"Young Master, you're awake?"

"Hmm? Lu Ling, nothing happened yesterday, right?"

"No, everything is normal, please rest assured, young master."

Is she just woken up, or has she not slept at all...?

Taking advantage of the refreshing morning sunlight, Yu Zhe turned around and glanced at Lu Ling, who had just walked up behind him.

I hadn't noticed before that Lu Ling looked exceptionally beautiful and charming when she took off her usual maid outfit and put on her own brown down jacket.

She and Lu Yao should both be eighteen years old this year, the most beautiful years of their youth. Looking closely, her small and delicate face, while not as stunning as Zi Xiao's, is indeed a rare beauty.

Hmm... Yu Zhe lacks knowledge in this area. After all, he himself is the most beautiful, so he really lacks a standard for judging girls' appearance.

Moreover, a girl's beauty doesn't need to be measured by her looks.

What he didn't know was that, coincidentally, all the girls around him, including Lu Ling and Lu Yao, were all school beauties...

"Um...Young Master? Is there something on my face?"

"No, no, I just suddenly realized that Lu Ling, you are actually quite pretty."

"Well?!"

Lu Ling was caught off guard!

She, who had never been defeated in combat, was now being struck critically!

Right in the center.

"Young Master...? You mean... you're interested in me? Then... could my sister come along...?"

"Huh?" Yu Zhe then realized what she had just said and what she had misunderstood.

So it's because my mind isn't clear this early in the morning!

"No, no, no, Lu Ling, don't misunderstand. What I mean is that you and Lu Yao are both really pretty. You can be more confident and don't need to feel inferior."

"..."

Oh, so that's what it meant...

Lu Ling sighed silently. It wasn't that she lacked confidence; it was just that she was usually surrounded by exceptional individuals like Miss Yu Che and Miss Zi Xiao, who were truly dazzling as girls.

That's not the main point. The main point is that their position in Young Master Yu Zhe's heart has already reached a terrifying level.

Her sister, that heartless fellow, was alright, but Lu Ling sometimes really felt a little ashamed.

Because she was tasked with leading her sister into the young master's heart, even though she was mentally strong, she sometimes felt afraid.

What if the young master's heart can no longer hold anyone else? What will she and her sister do then? Waaaaah.

"Lu Ling?"

"I'm here!"

"What's wrong? You suddenly spaced out too. Where's your sister?"

"Reporting to the young master, my sister is still sleeping in the tent. She was on duty until four in the morning yesterday, and then I took over, so she probably hasn't woken up yet."

"You've worked hard... Sigh, sometimes I really don't know how to repay you two. The guard duty sounds simple, but it's actually quite energy-consuming."

How can I repay you? Can you repay me with your body... or I can repay you with my body.

Although Lu Ling thought that way, that wasn't what she wanted to say.

"No, no! Young Master, you make me very uneasy! You saved my sister's and my lives; it should be us repaying you!"

"You still remember that incident?"

"Remember this for life!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhe could only scratch the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

He should be the one feeling apprehensive.
