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

Then I'll take this time to sleep and recover...

Little did anyone know, Yu Che was planning to leave, but as he turned around, he left behind a sentence.

"Alright, I know you won't listen to me. It's okay. Even if you won't listen to me, you should at least listen to your brother, right? I'll have him take you to the hospital. Let's see if you're still so stubborn then."

"Stop right there!!"

Zixiao had just lain back down on her pillow when she suddenly sat up as if she had hit a spring, leaning out of the bed and grabbing Yuche's hand.

"Don't tell my brother! Are you a devil?!"

"I rarely want to play the role of an angel, and you call me a devil? That's quite something..."

Zixiao was no match for Yuche, but after gently shaking off her hand, Yuche didn't continue walking out. Instead, he stopped, turned around, and leaned against the cabinet at the foot of the bed. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

"I'll give you one last chance. Organize your thoughts. If you're not sick, then what's wrong with you? If you can't give me a straight answer, I'll have to ask my brother to handle it."

"I..."

"gone."

"I'm telling you! Fine, I'll tell you!"

You really are a devil!

Zixiao gave up struggling, or rather, she had no other choice.

She leaned wearily against the headboard and looked at Yu Che.

"Come closer."

"There are only the two of us in this room, can't you just say that?"

"Come closer!!"

"..."

Her face, which had just returned to normal, suddenly flushed red again.

The fact that they had to speak so closely, almost touching each other's ears, shows that the truth of the matter was something she found very difficult to talk about.

Oh well... if they whisper in my ear, they whisper in my ear.

I'd like to hear what exactly you're shy about.

Yu Che stood in front of Zi Xiao, without needing to bend down, he simply brought his head close.

Zixiao tremblingly brought her mouth close to Yuche's ear and whispered a few words.

Then...

Yu Che stood up straight abruptly! Her face turned even redder than Zi Xiao's had been!

She pointed at Zixiao and shouted in despair.

"What...what are you talking to me about?! Don't you have any shame?!"

"Didn't you tell me to say it?! I didn't mean to say it!!"

"..."

Uh... I think that's how it is?

Guess what Zixiao said?

Very simple.

She was simply describing what happened in those twenty minutes early this morning.

Zixiao was exhausted from staying up all night and felt sleepy in the early morning, so she was completely out of sorts.

But Yu Zhe, on the contrary, was in exceptionally good condition; when he woke up in the morning, he was like the midday sun.

So... the outcome of the exchange just now is obvious.

Previously, when they were in their apartment, Zixiao clearly had the upper hand, making Yuzhe want to surrender several times.

But this time! Yu Zhe actually achieved a complete crushing victory... or rather, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that in the final stage, he was unilaterally bullying Zi Xiao.

Zixiao suffered a complete defeat, experiencing a total and utter defeat in a short period of time.

Clearly, being in good shape is very important!

Despite Yu Che's unusually proactive attitude towards Yu Zhe, she is actually as pure as snow and has never heard of such descriptions before.

She coughed lightly twice to calm herself down, then went over and patted Zixiao on the shoulder.

"Alright... Go get some sleep. I'm really sorry for pressing you earlier... Be careful next time, don't do this after staying up all night... and don't choose such a sensitive time as early morning, it's really ridiculous."

"Hmm..." Zixiao seemed to have some courage now, and could even offer a suggestion, "You too, if you... don't choose the morning, or you'll regret it."

"Don't assume everyone is like you!!"

41. That's right.

After washing up, Yu Zhe shook his not-quite-dry silver hair like a cat shaking off water, feeling refreshed.

My hair is too long, and I can't quite style it myself. Zixiao usually helps me with this.

Speaking of Zixiao...

He looked apologetically at his room.

Yu Che just came out of the room, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Zixiao should be asleep again by now, right?

Well... when I noticed that Zixiao wasn't feeling well in the morning, I should have given her some leeway and stopped there.

But... boys all have a desire to conquer, not to mention that Yu Zhe often has mischievous ideas of playing pranks in his subconscious.

So when Yu Zhe saw Zi Xiao showing weakness, he not only didn't hold back, but instead became even more motivated and went all out.

This was the first time Yu Zhe had seen Zi Xiao fall asleep due to exhaustion. He secretly resolved that when Zi Xiao woke up, he would apologize properly and keep apologizing until she forgave him.

I'm sorry! But I'll do it again next time!

Ahem, although next time might not be so lucky, next time it might be Zixiao's revenge in full force!

Yu Zhe made plans in his mind, put on a towel, walked into the living room and looked around.

Yu Che had just finished washing up and went back to her room to change her clothes.

As for the others, they were all still sleepy-eyed, sitting around the sofa drinking morning tea, yawning from time to time.

Especially Little Lychee, nodding so much! The thud of her forehead hitting the wooden table earlier didn't even wake her up! Now she's asleep again, slumped over the table.

Sigh... there's nothing we can do about it. They listened to stories too late yesterday, got up early today, and are also jet-lagged from traveling abroad. They didn't get enough rest either, so it's perfectly normal that they can't handle it.

Only Sister Ye, with her strong adaptability and mental fortitude, was on the balcony making a phone call.

When she saw Yu Zhe come out, she put down her phone with a gentle smile and waved to him. Only after Yu Zhe responded did she pick up her phone again to make a call.

Oh, Sister Ye, you've been so comforting and healing to my soul since this morning.

I didn't see Lu Ling or Lu Yao. They probably went to train with Sister Lin Yin? I think they were coming over yesterday.

As for why I have to get up so early.

Isn't it just to follow local customs? Yesterday, my mother said that it's a tradition in this small town to pay respects to the deceased in the early morning.

But seeing them in their half-awake state, Yu Zhe felt quite sorry for them.

forget it.

Instead of forcing everyone to carry out certain tasks, it would be better to let them get a good night's sleep, be refreshed, and have a good meal before going to pay their respects.

Aunt Xiaota is so kind, she must be able to understand, right?

If it really doesn't work, we can go another morning. There's no rush.

Just as Yu Zhe was about to clap his hands to let everyone go back to sleep.

Mo Lingyun, who was taking a nap leaning against the back of the sofa, slowly opened her tired eyes. Her heterochromatic eyes, still hazy with sleep, seemed to have a magical power as she looked at Yu Zhe.

She rubbed her eyes and stood up unsteadily.

"Hah... Hmm? Brother Yuzhe, are you ready? Shall we go now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, not only her, but also Xiao Meng and Xiao Ruo Ke, who were sleeping leaning against each other, and even Xiao Lizhi, who seemed to have already fallen asleep, slowly sat up.

"Hmm... Is dinner ready?"

"We haven't eaten yet; we need to go pay our respects," Yun'er kindly reminded her.

Seeing how they all looked so sleepy and a little dazed, Yu Zhe felt inexplicably gratified.

The matter of paying respects to Aunt Xiaota was something that Yu Zhe and Yu Che could have done on their own. Objectively speaking, it wasn't really their concern, especially since they hadn't had a chance to rest yet.

Even so, Yu Zhe hasn't heard a single complaint from last night until now. In fact, Yu Zhe feels that they are more enthusiastic about going to the memorial service than she is.

You have to admit I have good taste... What a group of angels I've surrounded myself with!

Well, even though they are so kind, Yu Zhe still has to change his plans.

"We're not going today, let's rest." Yu Zhe bent over and rested his arms on the back of the sofa. "If you think about it carefully, there's no need to rush. Look, my mom is still sleeping, and we don't even know the way if we walk now."

Yu Zhe pointed to the tightly closed door of Yang Qiuyun's room in the very center.

He knew that the idea yesterday was given to Zixiao by her, which meant that she definitely hadn't slept well either.

Yang Qiuyun is someone who likes to sleep in even more than Yu Zhe, and she almost sleeps in all night, so how could she not have overslept?

Thanks to this, Yu Zhe also had a reason for them to continue resting.

If you directly say that you want to reschedule because you see them getting tired, it's another matter whether they agree or not. Even if they do agree, you might feel bad about it.

So just push all the blame onto Mom and everything will be fine!

Things should have gone smoothly and naturally, but...

Almost exactly a few seconds after everyone followed Yu Zhe's gaze to Yang Qiuyun's door.

The door was actually opened.

Wearing a loose-fitting nightgown, Yang Qiuyun came out from inside, yawned, stretched, and patted her cheeks to cheer herself up.

"Wake up! Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that? Ah, I get it, you all think I'm going to oversleep, right? Hmph, usually it's fine, but this is different. It concerns Xiaota, so I have to be the first to step up... Yu Zhe?!"
