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

Although Xiao Zixiao was very small, the lady was wearing high heels, and even a light bump caused her to stumble and take two steps back before regaining her balance.

Zixiao apologized immediately: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was thinking about something! I didn't mean to!"

The lady originally thought that everyone at this banquet was someone she didn't want to offend, and that it was good that she hadn't fallen.

But when she looked up and saw who was in front of her, she immediately changed her mind.

It wasn't because she was a child, but because she knew the child.

Su Zixiao, the child adopted by the main branch of the Su family.

In fact, the family originally intended to choose the person to adopt from a collateral branch of the Su family, which was closely related to her. She had planned to take advantage of the situation.

However, this plan was disrupted without warning by Su Zixiao, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Just as she was bumped into, the lady became unforgiving, shouting, "Ha, not on purpose?! I think you did it on purpose! Does anyone think they can just come to this banquet? Where did this wild child come from?!"

Sensing the growing attention drawn to them by the commotion, Zixiao lowered her head and dared not speak.

It wasn't because she was afraid, but because she was worried about embarrassing Young Master Yu Zhe.

They didn't bring any glory in the first place, and now this is just making things worse...

Seeing the little girl in front of her with her head down and not saying a word, the lady thought she was scared, so she became even more audacious and grabbed the wine glass on the table next to her.

Judging from their posture, they were about to throw the wine at Su Zixiao.

Presumably, no one wants to meddle in the affairs of the Su family, whoever adopted this child from who-knows-where.

Zixiao closed her eyes tightly.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes.

But the expected thing did not happen, and Zixiao slowly opened her eyes.

She will probably never forget what she saw, and it will be deeply imprinted in her heart.

Before her stood a pair of shimmering, long silver hairs. Su Yuzhe, dressed in a modified suit, stood with his arms outstretched, protecting Zixiao.

The spilled red wine dripped continuously from Yu Zhe's dazzling silver hair, and the wine even spilled directly onto Yu Zhe's head, which was how he shielded Zi Xiao from the spill.

He remained expressionless, staring coldly at the noblewoman in front of him, even exuding a murderous aura, completely unlike a child.

"Young Master Yu Zhe!"

This scene truly alarmed Zixiao. She quickly used her sleeve to wipe Yuzhe's clothes. Although she liked and cherished the clothes, nothing else mattered now. She was grateful to Young Master Yuzhe, but seeing his appearance made her feel sorry for him.

The lady was stunned; she stood frozen in place, not daring to breathe.

What have I done? I threw a glass of wine on the head of Su Yuzhe, the eldest young master of the main family?

This time it's really over.

Su Yuche had just run over when she saw her brother suddenly running towards her, but she didn't know what had happened.

But when she saw the wine dripping from her brother's hair, Zixiao wiping Yuzhe's hair with her sleeve, and the wine glass in the noblewoman's hand...

Anger almost instantly took over the entire brain.

She practically roared at the wealthy woman, "Do you want to die?!"

Even though Yu Che was still relatively weak-willed at this time, she couldn't control her emotions when she saw Yu Zhe being hurt.

But before she could explode further, Yu Zhe held out a hand to signal her to calm down: "Yu Che, that's enough, don't rush."

Yu Che always listens to Yu Zhe, no matter what.

She tenderly moved around to the other side of Yu Zhe and helped Zi Xiao fix her brother's hair.

The previously noisy banquet instantly fell silent.

Yu Zhe's expression remained icy. He picked up another glass of wine from the table next to him and handed it to Zi Xiao: "Here, throw it back."

Zixiao took the wine glass.

Without the slightest hesitation, he splashed it at the noblewoman!

It's one thing for her to spill the wine on her own head, but it's unforgivable that the wine fell on Young Master Yu Zhe's head!

The lady gasped in surprise and pleaded with Yu Zhe, "Young Master! You can't do this to me! I'm an important member of the Su family's branch, and we have countless business collaborations with the main family. Is it really worth it for some wild child who came from who-knows-where?!"

Zixiao glanced at Yuzhe with some worry: "Young Master Yuzhe... I..."

Yu Zhe did not answer the lady.

Instead, he looked at Zixiao and asked, "What should you call me?"

A glint of light flashed in Zixiao's eyes, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She understood immediately and called out in a trembling voice, "Brother..."

Upon hearing this address, Su Yuzhe picked up a wine glass filled with wine again and this time personally splashed it at the wealthy woman. He then smashed the glass heavily on the ground.

Kicking away a shard of glass, Yu Zhe coldly said to the noblewoman, "Did you hear what she called me? The wild child you speak of is my sister. How can you talk to my sister like that? What do you think will happen when you divide the family property?"

"Alas!"

The lady gasped, because Su Yuzhe's gaze was truly frightening; it was a pure threat.

Finally, Yu Zhe said no more, only uttering a single word.

"roll."

The noblewoman knew that her division of the family property was over.

Tomorrow, many collaborations with our family will likely be canceled and suppressed.

She was already doing well just to protect herself, so she scrambled to her feet in a disheveled state, disregarding her appearance, and quickly ran out of the venue.

The banquet hall returned to its usual bustling atmosphere.

Yu Zhe led Yu Che and Zi Xiao out of the banquet hall to a quiet, secluded corner.

Zixiao could no longer hold back and threw herself into Yuzhe's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Yu Che also unusually didn't say much.

It just looks a bit unpleasant.

After a long while, Zixiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Yuzhe in a trembling voice, "Young Master Yuzhe... can I call you brother...?"

Didn't I already say that?

This was the first time Zixiao had seen a faint smile on Yuzhe's face.

"Whatever you want..."

Although Yu Zhe ignored Zi Xiao again the next day, Zi Xiao had taken the first step!

Xiao Zixiao, you need to keep working hard!

(P.S.: Volume 2 officially begins tomorrow!)

When the clouds disperse and the rain stops.

1. How am I not like a man?

"Brother, quickly check if there's anything else we need to bring. We're about to leave."

Su Yuzhe, who had just woken up, was speechless.

It's just going to an amusement park a few kilometers away, but Zixiao makes it sound like an adventure.

These big and small bags, sunscreen and parasols are one thing.

Why bring a folding tent?

Before Yu Zhe could even voice his complaint, Su Yu Che, who had just finished washing up, asked, "Why did you bring so much stuff?"

When she saw Zixiao putting the flashlight and other items into her backpack, Yuche clapped her hands together and said happily, "Oh! I get it! So you're finally planning to get away from my brother and live in the wild? Let's go! We need to have something good to celebrate today!"

"You wish!" Zixiao put another towel away. "You're the one who's going to live in the wild! I just think we should make more preparations, better safe than sorry, you know? Who knows what unexpected situations might arise on a trip to an amusement park?"

"Okay, then you can continue preparing at home. I'll go with my brother. It's always better to be prepared."

"you!"

Seeing that her two younger sisters were about to start arguing again, Yu Zhe quickly stepped between them: "Hey, stop arguing, stop arguing. It's so early in the morning. Yu Che, stop bullying Zi Xiao all the time. Zi Xiao, just bring the necessary things. Travel light, okay?"

Zixiao and Yuche exchanged a glance, both huffed and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.

Yu Zhe felt that being the older brother was really too difficult.

There was no other way, so Yu Zhe first told Yu Che to go back to her room to change her clothes, and then he went to Zi Xiao's side himself. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

Seeing that she had just been rebuked by Yu Che, she looked somewhat aggrieved, even though she was still packing her luggage.

Yu Zhe patiently said to her, "Zi Xiao, don't be angry. Although Yu Che said something a bit excessive, it's really useless to bring so much stuff, and it will be very heavy. You won't be able to enjoy yourself properly if you carry it all the way. Listen to me, can you just bring this small bag?"

He showed Zixiao a small blue handbag, which contained sunscreen, an umbrella, and other things she might need.

"Alright then... since my brother has said so..."

Okay, Yu Zhe felt very satisfied. When his two younger sisters were unhappy when they were little, this was how he would comfort them.

Afterwards, he went to his room to change his clothes. It was a simple combination of a shirt and casual pants. Although it wasn't very fancy, Yu Che had bought him several sets of this outfit, so there was no problem with changing them.

Preparations are complete, now we can set off!

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

Zixiao and Yuche followed Yuzhe downstairs, one on each side. There was already a fairly ordinary-looking car parked downstairs.

When Yu Zhe went inside, he saw that there was only one person in the car, Qi Xinye, in the driver's seat.

"Sister Ye, you can drive?!"

Yu Zhe was surprised. He always felt that everyone was still at the age of riding in cars, but he didn't expect that some people were already driving on the road.

"Yes...

I learned to drive two years ago. You guys get in the car first; it's still quite cold outside.

Yu Zhe arranged for Zi Xiao and Yu Che to sit in the back seat, and then sat down in the passenger seat himself.

The warm air from the air conditioner instantly brought him back to life.
