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

Hey! Don't you know you can't tighten the ropes in these places?!

Ignoring her struggles, Yu Che squatted down and "smilingly" tapped Zi Xiao's forehead with his finger.

"You should thank me. This punishment is about right. You got off easy. I was going to tie you up with a turtle shell bondage. I searched online and tried to learn it myself. I thought I could do it well, but unfortunately, it seems I still can't."

The way you've bound it is almost identical to that turtle shell binding...

So what if you have a strong learning ability?

"Is this how you punish people?!"

"Of course I am, Zixiao. Don't blame me for being heartless. To make me feel better, just suffer a little, okay?"

"Don't say such hurtful things in such a pitiful tone with such a serious expression! Brother, mind your own business... Ugh! So, don't pull the rope!"

"That's not up to you~"

"Hey!...Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, Su Yuche, you just wait and see! I'll tie you up one of these days! Ling Yun, you should be helping me, why are you aiding and abetting evil? She tied me up like this today, she can tie you up like this tomorrow!"

"I'm sorry, Zixiao... I didn't want to get involved, but I heard you had a good time with Brother Yuzhe this morning... Sigh, I didn't want this either, really, why did I help? It's so strange."

“…”

Is this what Yu Che just told her...?

That's fine.

Zixiao gave up struggling.

In this state, Lingyun is not listening to anything.

She lay sprawled on the ground, like a salted fish that had been tied up.

Yu Zhe could certainly see Zi Xiao's pitiful little eyes pleading for help.

But... we really don't need to worry about this.

Yu Che wasn't serious. Unlike when she tied up her mother yesterday, she was just fooling around.

After all, for Yu Che, bullying Zi Xiao was a wonderful thing.

Do the sisters need him, their older brother, to mediate their playful squabbles? No, they don't.

Given Yu Che's personality, he should probably stop here and let her go by now.

"Alright, Zixiao." Yu Che released the rope in his hand.

"Are you going to untie me? Ugh... why did you have to do that? It hurt my wrist."

No, now we need to maintain your [life/sustainability].

"I'll bring this situation to your room and see if you can break free on your own."

"!"

Zixiao finally showed a look of panic. The thought of being thrown into a room, tied up, and unable to move for who knows how long filled her with inexplicable fear!

"Hey, Yu Che, that's going too far."

Yu Zhe offered a reminder, his expression slightly displeased.

You can make a fuss as you please, but you have to stop now. Just look at that rope, you can tell it'll hurt a lot of flesh. You can tie up your mother, but do you think Zixiao will let you do this to her?

However, from an angle that Zixiao couldn't see, Yu Che quickly winked at Yu Zhe.

Ok?

Oh, I understand.

A long-standing, unspoken understanding is enough; a single glance is sufficient.

Yu Zhe stepped forward, took a deep breath, and lifted Zi Xiao, who was tied up like a salted fish, as if lifting weights.

"Brother!" Zixiao was in an awkward position in Yuzhe's arms, but she was overjoyed! "You finally came to save me!"

"No, Zixiao, I'm going to make you stay in your room for a while, be good, I'll untie you in half an hour."

"what?!"

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

With her hands and feet still bound, Zixiao was gently placed on her bed in her own room by Yuzhe.

Then, Yu Zhe thoughtfully helped her take off her shoes, opened his phone, found a video of cats and dogs that she probably wanted to watch, placed it in front of her, and set it to loop.

Zixiao was too lazy to wriggle or struggle anymore, and her hands and feet were unable to move.

She stared blankly at the meowing and barking on her phone screen.

"Zixiao, if you've had enough of this, just call me and I'll change the video for you."

"So... why did it suddenly turn out like this? Brother, you haven't awakened some kind of perverse sense of humor, have you... what's this called again?"

"According to the professional terminology in the industry, this is called placement plus bondage play, but don't get me wrong, I don't have that kind of perverse taste."

Yu Zhe leaned down and whispered something in Zi Xiao's ear: "I should tell you this... Actually... Yu Che and Yun'er wanted to talk to me alone about how to make you have fun when we go out later. They see how tired you are usually, and you are responsible for almost all the cooking and housework at home. They wanted to give you a surprise, but they were too embarrassed to tell you directly... You know how proud Yu Che is."

"Is that so?"

Zixiao's eyes regained some light: "If...if that's really the case, being tied up for a while isn't so bad...wait...why can't you untie me first...I don't have to go out."

"Haha...Isn't this just to put their minds at ease? Zixiao, just bear with it. How about...I grant you a small wish later?"

Zixiao originally wanted to continue trying to get the restraints loosened, but after hearing this, she no longer wanted to be untied.

"Anything is fine?"

"Yeah, everything is fine."

"Okay, deal."

Zixiao remained calm and watched the cat and dog videos that were playing on a loop.

The rope was tied so tightly that the more Zixiao curled up, the tighter it became, so she could only stretch her body out naturally.

Yu Zhe actually has to say... Yu Che tied Zi Xiao up in a pretty suggestive way...

Then I'll have her teach me...

Sigh! Now is not the time to think about these things!

Yu Zhe seized the opportunity to slip out of Zi Xiao's room, closing the door behind him.

Yu Che and Yun'er were sitting on the sofa waiting.

They had something to say.

Actually, Yu Zhe lied just now. Yu Che didn't mean to talk about how to make Zi Xiao have fun at all; that was too childish.

Yu Zhe didn't even have time to ask what was going on... Just now, I only saw Yu Che blink, and I knew she had something to say, but I wasn't quite sure what it was.

But it should be something that is more important.

And not wanting Zixiao to hear, he came up with a plan to temporarily "seal" her in the room.

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

(PS: It's the beginning of the month! I'd like to ask for some monthly votes after a long time... I'll try to update more this month, thanks in advance to all you big shots!)

54. Don't worry!

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, but Xiao Lizhi hadn't come out yet; girls do need some time to shower.

Well... knowing full well that she would definitely take a long time to wash, Xiao Ruoke's current behavior is quite puzzling.

She sat on the small stool in front of the bathroom, like a guardian spirit protecting the bathroom door for Xiao Lizhi, holding a towel and a change of clothes, not moving an inch, staring intently at the bathroom door.

She can go inside the moment it opens.

I didn't see you taking a shower so eagerly last night...

It seems that Xiaomeng was just caught by her mother and taken to the courtyard to look at the potted plants.

Looking at the potted plants was just an excuse; the real purpose was to give Yu Che and Yun'er a private environment to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe's stomach was growling with hunger. Although he didn't know what the two little ones wanted to say, a heart-to-heart talk was definitely more important than eating.

When you're in a bad mood, you don't even enjoy your food.

Sitting on the small sofa next to him, Yu Zhe smoothed out the wrinkles in his T-shirt.

"What's wrong with you two? You both look so gloomy. You didn't eat well yesterday either. It seems that Sister Ye, Lu Ling, and Lu Yao have found a good restaurant and are calling us over. Yu Che, you're the older sister, so don't let Yun'er say what you have to say. Just get to the point and don't keep Sister Ye and the others waiting at the restaurant."

"Hmph, it's her own fault for making that big-breasted woman wait in the restaurant for an hour. She had a whole set of lies to tell me this morning."

"Huh? What did Sister Ye lie to you about?"

"It's just that you and that idiot from the Ouyang family are having a great time, brother."

"Back then, she told me I went for a walk on the beach, and I said I'd come find you. She just pushed me back into my room and locked the door! Ugh, one after another! Zixiao too, and that big-breasted girl too, they only start bullying me now that we're out of Fenghai City, huh?!"

"puff..."

"Brother, you're still laughing!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry, Yu Che, you've really worked hard."

"N-nothing..."

Well, if Yu Che wanted to, she would never let Sister Zi Xiaoye bully her.

For example, if you lock her in from the inside, can you really keep her in place?

She definitely has a million ways to get out.

But she stayed obediently in her room until Yu Zhe and Xiao Lizhi finished their battle.

She could definitely guess what Yu Zhe was doing, so she was holding back, being sensibly patient, and not disturbing Yu Zhe's emotional state.

Anyway... I'll be able to do it soon too, yeah, with that reason, Yu Che can hold back.

Yu Zhe was marveling at how sensible his little princess was when he heard Yu Che and Yun'er speak at the same time.

"Brother, sit here, don't sit so far away." "Yeah... Brother Yuzhe, why are you sitting across from me? Come over here."

"..."

Does it matter where I sit?
