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

You two seem to be having a lot of fun discussing this.

They overlooked a very fundamental issue.

—What's my opinion?

You've discussed it and agreed that you can come over, right?

Yu Zhe already had a premonition that the next few days would probably be tough...

29. What are you doing blocking the door?!

Hopefully, I can travel and have fun and return safely.

Don't come out standing up, just lie down and go back...

This has become Yu Zhe's biggest expectation now.

Oh well, whatever! I'll just go to sleep tonight and deal with tomorrow's problems later. At least tonight should be peaceful so I can get a good night's sleep!

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

Zixiao bears a heavy responsibility. She knows that everyone else will abide by the agreement they just discussed, but Yuche, who proposed the agreement, is in the most danger.

Sure enough, after Zixiao led him to a separate, lavishly decorated room, he started making a huge racket.

"Su Zixiao, get out of my way! Is blocking the door fun? Do you really think I can't beat you? Let me tell you, although I may not be your match, I can call Lu Ling and Lu Yao! The two of them can take on ten of you!"

"Okay, okay... I'd believe it if they could beat a hundred of me. I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about you. If I clear the way for you, are you going to cause trouble?"

"Of course!" Yu Che proudly puffed out his barely-there chest. "Today is a very special day for me. The problem that's been bothering me for years is finally solved. What's wrong with me going over now? Ah, don't worry, don't worry. You want to remind me about safety precautions or something, right? It's okay, I understand. Don't worry, even you thought of that, how could I forget?"

"Who told you that?! Ugh... Anyway! You can do whatever you want tomorrow, but you can't go out today!"

"Heh, Su Zixiao, are you ordering me around? You've grown some guts?"

Despite her small stature, Yu Che possesses a captivating aura of power and an indescribable sense of oppression, thanks to her swaying silver hair and azure eyes that rise from the bottom up.

Even Zixiao, who had been used to it for so many years, could feel the tangible pressure.

She swallowed hard, her stance firm: "So what if it's an order? If I can't go, I can't go. What you say won't change anything. Are you that desperate?"

"Nonsense! I've endured this for ten years!!"

"Then go eat and drink!"

"Whose 'hunger' is just referring to its literal meaning?!"

Huff... huff...

After a heated online exchange and a stalemate, Zixiao Yuche was completely exhausted.

However, Zixiao had to stop her. Zixiao had her reasons for doing so, but there was no need to talk to this file monster unless absolutely necessary.

Yu Che just doesn't understand today: "Hey Zi Xiao... what exactly are you trying to do?! Don't tell me you're starting to side with outsiders, not letting me go, waiting for them to get there? Oh, there's another possibility, you've already become number one, and to get back at me for always targeting you, you're not letting me be number two? Let me tell you, no way, get out of my way!"

"You're the one who's not going to get it! Huh?!"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Just as Yu Che was about to force his way into the small, gold-trimmed room guarded by Zi Xiao, he was pushed by Zi Xiao and tripped and fell!

Zixiao was surprised... Goodness, I never noticed before when I was holding back and playing around with you, but when I used a little force, you were so gentle!

Lolis are truly a magical species; one push and they're all tumbling over.

Thankfully, the floor was a soft mat, so...

Even if I fall, I won't get hurt.

But Yu Che had never suffered such humiliation in his life!

She tried to do a somersault... well, she didn't succeed.

She failed to do a somersault, so she rolled over and stood up, furious, pointing at Su Zixiao and berating her.

"Su! Zi! Xiao! You've gone too far! Don't think I'll always put up with you. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who's the boss! Cough... Fine, a gentleman uses words, not fists. I can't stoop to your level. I have to reason with you."

Yu Che saw Zi Xiao once again extend her slender hands as if to push someone, but this time she used a different tactic.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss when he's in trouble; taking a sudden fall can really hurt.

Yu Che couldn't really ask Lu Ling and Lu Yao to control Zi Xiao. After all, the two Lu sisters mainly obeyed their brother, and their obedience to Yu Che and Zi Xiao was about equal. Calling them would be useless; it would only disturb others and keep everyone from sleeping. That would ruin Yu Che's night raid plan.

Yu Che ignored the chair next to him and sat down directly on the ground. He patted the ground opposite him, gesturing for Zi Xiao to sit down as well.

Zixiao wasn't used to Yuche's unrestrained and casual sitting posture. She subtly pressed down the hem of her clothes and sat opposite Yuche in a duck-like position.

Yu Che was extremely annoyed that she was putting on such formalities in front of him.

But she couldn't say.

She needs to get down to business.

"Um... Zixiao, I need to talk to you about something. You see, I've never bullied you. I always think of you when I have something good to eat. When you lived in that apartment, you always used my bank card to buy things, right? So, could you please do me a favor and let me pass? I'll be very grateful for your kindness after I finish my business!"

If force doesn't work, how about a softer approach?

Using both soft and hard tactics—a unique skill of the Su family.

Besides, haven't you bullied me enough already?! How can you say such nonsense without any shame?!

Normally, it would be rare for Yu Che to speak so humbly, and Zi Xiao would probably give in.

But I have a mission to complete today, so I'm sorry, I can't give way.

"No, there's one more thing I need to clarify. I didn't spend any of your money at the apartment. My brother gives me some pocket money every month, so don't bring that up. In short, I can't let it go."

This point must be corrected. Zixiao doesn't want Yuche to have any reason to slip away, otherwise it would be too passive.

So you won't listen to reason, huh?!

Yu Che was absolutely furious!

Since we've already started, let's go all the way! I just lay down on the ground and rolled around from side to side, throwing a tantrum!

"Whoa! Su Zixiao, what are you trying to do?! Have you lost your mind?! I don't care! If you don't move aside, we'll all die together, and nobody will get any sleep!"

“…”

Rolling around...

Oh, brother, our proud little princess of the Su family, the domineering businesswoman, has finally fallen and is rolling around on the ground...

She has already put aside her usual dignity and gone to this extent.

Zixiao felt that... she should also be told the reason why she wasn't allowed to go out.

"Sigh... Just as my brother said, it was the right thing for me to come here and block you out for the night."

"Ok?"

Zixiao's sudden, inexplicable words caused Yuche to stop moving. With a push of her short legs, she sat back down in front of Zixiao.

"Tell me, was it my brother who arranged for you to block my way?"

"Correct."

Zixiao raised one index finger and told Yuche what had just happened.

“Just now, while we were washing up, my brother finished washing his hair a little faster than me. He took the time to come over and tell me something. He said he guessed that you would be very eager to go see him tonight, and asked me to stop you a little.”

"Why?!" Yu Che was completely baffled. The problem had been solved, so why was he still wary of me?

Even a virtuous person would be wary?!

Zixiao continued to explain, "He said that you're definitely not in a normal state today, after all, you heard about Aunt Xiaota's situation... so he wants you to calm down first, but definitely not in the way you want to calm down right now. He said he'll be waiting for you tomorrow."

30. I've figured it out!

"You want me to calm down...?"

Just moments ago, Yu Che was frantically thinking about how to get past Zi Xiao and rush out the door, but as soon as she said those words, Yu Che had no choice but to fall into deep thought.

She began to analyze her current situation.

After listening to Aunt Xiaota's various stories, Yu Che was filled with mixed feelings, and his heart was like a rollercoaster, going up and down.

It wasn't just because of her relationship with Aunt Xiaota. After all, she had never met Carlota since she could remember. It had nothing to do with those things. Putting all that aside, Yu Che respected Carlota's story very much.

Despite her physical disability and unfortunate circumstances, she faced her fate head-on with strength and fearlessness, which Yu Che greatly admired.

I feel sorry for her experience and sigh, but like Yang Qiuyun, I am also proud of her.

In short.

Because she had just heard the story not long ago, less than an hour ago, Yu Che's heart had not yet completely calmed down. Whenever she thought about these things, she wanted to find someone to confide in about the joys and sorrows of the story.

Who can I confide in?

That goes without saying! Yu Che and Yu Zhe are like the two opposite poles of a magnet; they will attract each other.

So, she wanted to spend the whole night talking to her brother about this!

And didn't this also bring us some incredibly good news?

The two are not related by blood, so she can stay by Yu Zhe's side with dignity.

In summary!

Yu Che's original plan for tonight was to fulfill his dream, stay up all night, and do... cough cough, that kind of thing, and then...

During this process, she confided her mixed feelings to Yu Zhe.

Whether she'll still have the energy to confide in someone when that time comes is another matter...

What do you call this? This is what you call a plaintive lament!

What a poignant and plaintive scene!

But... this mindset doesn't seem quite right.

As Yu Che thought about it, he began to understand more and more.

Is it necessary to fulfill a lifelong dream under the influence of a momentary emotional fluctuation?

No need.

Now that those annoying restrictions are gone, and you can do it anytime, why not choose a time when you're at peace and can better appreciate the moment to give your all to the one you love most?
