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

In short...

I'm so happy.

52. Long time no see?

This shopping trip yielded some unexpected surprises.

Since this was originally just to kill time, and we were going to Yang Qiuyun's place for a last-minute activity when it was almost dark, Yu Zhe thought everyone might be quite bored.

To their surprise, they actually had a great time shopping, and every now and then they would buy some very satisfactory items.

What do you call this? This is what you call a girl who can adapt to shopping anywhere.

That's terrifying.

"Have you finished shopping? It's time to leave. If there's anything else you want, make a list, and we can come back later."

As dusk fell, Yu Zhe felt that if he didn't shout that, they could really shop until dark.

However, they didn't; they were just waiting for Yu Zhe to speak.

After shopping, they all packed up all the things they bought together, so that the items could be shipped back to China directly without having to carry them with them on the way.

This is also a convenience brought about by the development of local tourism, which really saves a lot of trouble.

When Yu Che hopped over, Yu Zhe immediately gave her a light chokehold!

"I saw it! Didn't I just tell you to put those women's clothes back? You still packed them up and sent them back!!"

"Ugh... Huff, breathe! No! Brother! Listen to my excuse, those were things I sent back for myself to wear!"

"You yourself said it's just sophistry!!"

"what!!"

How could this be... Yu Che's personality changed from gentle and soft to cheerful and confident a few years ago, which should have been a good thing.

But why did Yu Zhe want to say, "Give my weak-willed sister back!"

In the end, it was Zixiao who came to Yuche's rescue.

"Alright, alright, brother, let her go. It's understandable. She went to a foreign country just to collect more women's clothes for you. It's all perfectly reasonable."

"You call this 'perfectly reasonable'?! Seriously, is this what you're going on a trip for?!"

It’s over.

Yu Zhe suspected that there might be something wrong with his usual educational approach to them.

Why do I keep emphasizing from a young age not to try dressing muscular men in women's clothing, yet you guys seem to have an increasingly inexplicable obsession with it?!

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

One hour after shopping is completed.

The group took a city tram, transferring several stops from the shopping area to the residential area on the other side.

Moreover, it is a high-end residential area with a concentration of wealthy people and excellent public security.

This city is much smaller than those in China; it only takes less than half an hour to drive across the city from east to west.

The upscale residential area is located by the sea, and the sea breeze blowing in your face seems to carry the scent of money.

Looking out from the drop-off point, you can see the coastline and the numerous sea-view villas scattered along the coastline, their considerable value is self-evident.

"Tsk, what a luxury." Yu Che scoffed. "Does that woman really live in a place like this all year round? That's amazing. My brother and I are working ourselves to the bone at home, while she lives a life of luxury and carefree living. I'll tear her house down in a minute!"

"Are you a husky... ...destroying the house?"

"Hmm? If you'd like, brother, I can be your husky~"

"unnecessary."

After saying that, Yu Zhe continued walking, looking at the navigation on his phone, and led them to continue walking forward.

At the cusp of dusk and night, listening to the rolling waves, feeling the sea breeze, and hearing the occasional cries of seagulls is truly a pleasure.

As expected of a mother, she was very particular about where to live; she's someone who never lets herself suffer any loss.

Disgusting woman.

Everyone was looking around curiously.

Despite its name, Fenghai City has neither mountains nor a coastline, making its scenery quite novel for them.

At the same time, I was also very nervous. I was about to meet Yu Zhe's mother... which would be like meeting my future mother-in-law. I had seen the tests she gave Xiao Meng, which were quite novel. I wondered if she would give them any tests or something.

Little Lychee, however, was lost in thought, pondering a completely meaningless question.

When she heard Yu Che's words, she was thinking to herself... You said you could be Yu Zhe's husky?

Hmm... Huskies are a type of dog, right?

So, to translate, it means you can be Yu Zhe's puppy?

hiss....

Little Lychee nodded, watching Yu Zhe's back, thinking to herself that Brother Yu Zhe also liked this kind of game.

She'd seen it in the notebook Yu Zhe gave her! It was about putting a collar around your neck and then... cough cough, she really didn't expect Yu Che to be like this!

Little Lychee is so embarrassed by all the associations she's made up.

However, if Brother Yuzhe really likes it, it's not impossible...

If Sister Yuche is a husky, then wouldn't Little Lyche be a golden retriever?

If Yu Zhe knew what Xiao Lizhi was thinking, he would probably turn around and give her a 360-degree head smash.

"Coming."

Yu Zhe stopped at the front and pointed to an exquisite two-story duplex sea-view house a few dozen meters away.

"Thirty-two villas, that's the address my mother gave me."

Zixiao took a deep breath and took Yuzhe's arm.

"It's okay."

"Ah."

Really are.

Zixiao always manages to appear at the right time, giving Yuzhe the greatest courage.

Yu Che was the same; she had just noticed it, so she deliberately slowed down to give Yu Zhe time to prepare mentally.

Only after Zixiao said that did everyone realize that Yuzhe, who had seemed calm and collected, was actually somewhat lost at that moment.

The last time I met Yang Qiuyun was in the underground parking lot after the chess tournament. But we only exchanged a few words and didn't get to the reasons why Yang Qiuyun left back then, or some of the most fundamental issues.

Now that everything has to be laid out in the open and accounted for, Yu Zhe must feel a little confused.

But thankfully, Zixiao is there.

No, not only that, they were there too.

Yu Zhe looked back and saw the girls smiling and encouraging him. It was nothing, just a mother and son reuniting, and he wasn't alone in facing the past and the future.

We will face the past and the future with you.

"You guys... well, thank you."

"Don't mention it!"

Xiao Meng tiptoed forward and patted Yu Zhe on the shoulder.

She wasn't nervous even after being tested by Yang Qiuyun, so what are you, her own son, worried about?

With his mind at ease, Yu Zhe had no more worries and chose to move forward.

only...

As soon as I took a step, I felt two gusts of wind rushing past my sides.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Ling and Lu Yao had already rushed in front of Yu Zhe, assuming fighting and guarding stances on either side.

—As if facing a formidable enemy.

"Lu Ling and Lu Yao?"

“There’s an aura…it’s a powerful one…” Lu Yao reached her right hand into her pocket, as if searching for a weapon.

Lu Ling's eyes were sharp as she stared straight ahead.

“It’s the Demon Blade…” she concluded, her movements becoming much more relaxed, but she remained vigilant. “Why are you hiding? Show yourself.”

Are they talking about Sister Lin Yin?

Yu Zhe had been looking ahead the whole time and hadn't sensed anyone's presence.

But Lu Ling and Lu Yao's intuition was correct.

A middle-aged woman with short, neat brown hair, a tall figure, and wearing a long trouser jacket calmly walked out from behind an advertising billboard not far away.

It really is Sister Lin Yin...

"Wow... as expected of Lu Ling and Lu Yao, your insight is indeed strong. Oh, Xiao Yuzhe and Xiao Yuche, long time no see?"

53. I really came here to help you.

"Sister Lin Yin... um, it's been a long time."

Yu Zhe had nothing to be reserved with her; he was just a little stunned by her sudden appearance.

Seeing Lin Yin walking this way so confidently, Yu Zhe raised his hands and patted the shoulders of Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who were blocking his way.

"Don't be so nervous. Haven't I been saying all along that Sister Lin Yin is a partner, not an enemy?"

"I understand... but I'm on guard..."

Lu Ling obeyed the order, pulled Lu Yao back to stand behind Yu Zhe, and also quietly explained what Lu Yao had just said.

"Partners and enemies don't matter... as long as she's strong enough to threaten the young master's safety, then we must be on guard."

"That's not wrong."

Yu Zhe agreed with them.
