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

Yang Qiuyun thought to herself, "Elisa really did keep what she said back in her student days. She said that if she had a daughter in the future, she would definitely raise her to be a well-bred lady." At the time, Yang Qiuyun had asked with a smile, "You are so determined, that's your business, but what if the child is disobedient? Can you manage her?"

Elisa immediately showed her palm and said something.

"Even if I master Iron Palm and she master Iron Head Kung Fu, I still have to keep the children in line."

You actually created a stubborn kid...

Despite her complaints, Yang Qiuyun clearly had a good impression of Xiao Lizhi through these few sentences of conversation.

On one hand, she is Elisa's daughter, and I even held her when she was little, so we are naturally close. On the other hand, this child has a very interesting personality, and I guess if I hit her on the head, she would cry for a long time.

That's not the most important thing.

Most importantly, when she was unsure how to say it, she deliberately asked Yu Zhe for his opinion, which shows that she trusts Yu Zhe quite a bit.

On this point, I must say our little Yuzhe is quite capable!

In short, the initial step of communicating about feelings has been completed.

Yang Qiuyun's lips curved into a slight smile, and when she looked up again, her face was full of kind and beautiful smiles as she faced Xiao Lizhi.

"Thank you, Little Lychee. I'm really grateful for your pleading on my behalf. Although it didn't really help, it's definitely because Yuzhe has a lot of grudges against me... You've done your best, Little Lychee. Just call me Auntie, no need for any honorifics. Once I'm free, I'll take you shopping. Buy whatever you want, don't be shy."

"Really...really? Thank you, Auntie! Uh..."

Yu Zhe's glance back disrupted Xiao Lizhi's rhythm.

Even if she couldn't fully understand, she knew she couldn't continue to smile and agree with her aunt's words.

It's a trap!

Isn't this a scam?

Yu Zhe knew all too well what she was trying to do.

The evidence is... the girls around them were also eager to try.

The strategy that Yang Qiuyun just used is an example of this.

Attack one point, and the whole situation will be affected.

As Yu Zhe's mother, Yang Qiuyun's approval is very important to these girls. After being with Yu Zhe, which girl wouldn't want to gain her future mother's approval?

Xiao Lizhi only said one sentence, yet she received so much praise from Yang Qiuyun. Everyone can see that Yang Qiuyun is very satisfied with her.

A good first impression of Xiaolizhi can diminish one's perception of others.

So, Little Lychee was really enviable!

However, being eager to try does not mean that one must take any action.

Yang Qiuyun found it strange. The plan had been used, but apart from some changes in expression, everyone was still sitting there motionless with no reaction.

Shouldn't they be rushing to plead for me now? No, they shouldn't!

Yang Qiuyun never expected that Yu Zhe had anticipated her move, as Yu Zhe had told them about it before they went to the beach.

—Don't worry about what she says, just sit there and watch.

As the saying goes, if you anticipate your own predictions, you'll be in an invincible position.

Except for Little Lychee! Little Lychee pleaded for Yu Zhe just now because she happened to run off to catch snails and didn't hear him when he said those words!

So you know how playing too much can lead to trouble! But thankfully, the impact wasn't too great.

Xiao Meng looked to the left and then to the right, extremely nervous.

Although Yu Zhe had given instructions before, everyone is still thinking of alternative approaches and taking initiative.

Persuasion is definitely not going to work; this is Yu Zhe's punishment for his aunt.

But first impressions are important too... Xiaomeng doesn't want to...

My first meeting with Aunt Yang left a bad impression.

Qin Ruoke thought so too. Among the people present, apart from her and Xiaomeng, everyone else had met Yang Qiuyun before. It really was just the two of them.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Qin Ruoke's forehead, but being a woman of few words, she couldn't think of any way to express herself besides persuasion.

At this moment, Xiao Meng broke the silence first.

She wobbled her short legs a couple of times, jumped off the chair, stood not far from Yang Qiuyun, and gave a cute smile.

"Auntie, if you'd like, may I sing you a song?"

"..."

If you won't speak up for me, what are you up to, you blue-haired little girl!

2. Very satisfied!

Sing?

You're not going to sing "Only Mother is Good in the World" to me, are you? To try and win over Yuzhe and get him to set me free?

It's impossible... Yu Zhe must have told them beforehand, there's absolutely no chance.

"Singing? Sure, you must be Luo Xiaomeng? I also need to apologize for what happened in the snow, but I was quite satisfied with your performance, and..."

While making small talk with Xiaomeng, Yang Qiuyun also took the opportunity to look the girl up and down.

Is Luo Xiaomeng even smaller than I imagined?

She's even worse than my Yuche! Yang Qiuyun used to be quite troubled when she heard that Yuche wasn't growing tall. But seeing Luo Xiaomeng in person made her feel much better.

It turns out it wasn't just my daughter who suffered so much!

However... I'm afraid Yu Zhe will feel some psychological pressure when accepting this child... Hmm, I'll dress her up a bit, make her look more mature, and try to make her appear as old as possible.

You're such a cute little girl, and you're even wearing a Lolita dress! That's just too much!

Honestly, it's really cute! Hmm... maybe it's best not to change into anything too mature for the time being, and find something even cuter.

Poor little Meng, she has no idea that she is thousands of miles away from her hometown and is still being targeted for a costume change.

In short, since the child had said so, Yang Qiuyun couldn't refuse to give her face.

After all, it was their first formal meeting.

“Then sing. Anyway, you see, I’m tied up here and have nothing to do. It won’t hurt to listen to some heavenly music.”

"No, no, no! It can't be called heavenly music at all! Well then... cough cough."

Xiao Meng cleared her throat and prepared to show off her talent.

Yu Zhe initially thought she was joking, but it seems she's serious now!

Yu Zhe, who had never heard Xiao Meng sing before, stopped his tense expression and turned around to look at Xiao Meng with everyone.

Now, lolis are in the center position.

Xiaomeng was quite nervous at first, but then she thought... it didn't seem necessary.

Yu Zhe is listening. This is a song for a loved one, there's no need to be nervous. Besides, we'll all be sisters in the future. How can we be nervous just because we're singing a song?

Luo Xiaomeng, keep it up!

Xiao Meng took a deep breath, let her right hand hang down naturally, placed her left hand on her flat chest, looked straight ahead, and began to sing a cappella without any background music.

When she opened her mouth, everyone realized that she was singing an English song.

While traveling... in order to connect with the local culture, Xiaomeng tried singing some foreign language songs that she had practiced before.

Luo Luoli's voice was light and clear, with a calm tone, as if she were telling a story.

At the beginning, her voice trembled slightly because she was still a little nervous, but after singing a few lines, she completely relaxed.

Yu Zhe is looking at me, and I am looking at him... This song is sung for him.

Her English pronunciation sounded a bit awkward to someone like Yang Qiuyun, a language expert. Even though Xiaomeng was a top student at school, she couldn't possibly pronounce it that perfectly.

But that's okay, because Yang Qiuyun was also a little stunned.

Her voice is lovely, her pitch is perfect, and more importantly... her emotional delivery is spot-on.

She looked at Yu Zhe as she sang, and her originally calm tone became melodious and soulful.

Good grief, you just said you were going to sing for me, but you didn't even glance at me the whole time?

Thus, Yang Qiuyun witnessed Yu Zhe's abilities once again.

Yu Zhe closed his eyes and listened to every word, but every syllable was a healing balm for his soul.

The girls listened attentively, even if they had some reservations, they were all good girls who knew how to respect each other's timing in expressing their feelings.

Three minutes, neither long nor short, the music ends, but the people remain.

After Xiaomeng finished singing, she was still somewhat immersed in the world that the music had created for her and Yuzhe, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

"Phew... Ah! Sorry! That's it, I made a fool of myself!"

"It sounds great, Xiaomeng-jie!"

Little Lychee was the first to stand up and applaud, moved by the gesture. She was very good at foreign languages ​​and understood the meaning of every sentence.

It's a beautiful love confession, and even someone as clueless as her could feel the boundless emotions it contained.

It's decided, we're going to learn to sing too!

What followed was applause and recognition from the others. Competition is competition, and recognition is recognition, but at this moment, they were not stingy with their applause.

Of course, this includes Yu Zhe as well.

Yu Zhe stood up, and he unusually felt that his face was a little hot.

Well... I'd like to make an exception this time.

Even in front of everyone, I wanted to give Xiaomeng a little reward.

Yu Zhe bent down slightly and hugged Xiao Meng, whose cheeks were also burning.

The hug was fleeting, because it could easily explode—not between him and Xiaomeng, but between the girls around them.

They exploded.

In an instant, a wisp of steam rose from Xiaomeng's head, and she exploded first!

Yu Che reacted quickly and pulled her chair over so that she could sit on it when she fell, thus preventing her from falling over like a little girl.
