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

"So you can't really put yourself in someone else's shoes when it comes to this!"

Yu Che was speechless. Indeed, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"

That's the principle.

but...

"Okay... I can't be sure if Zixiao is unhappy, but brother, you're not Zixiao, how can you be sure she won't feel bad inside?"

Yu Zhe nodded in satisfaction. As expected of my sister, her logical analysis was spot on, and she didn't get herself into a trap.

Before answering the question, Yu Zhe thought of something interesting, so he asked in return.

"Yu Che, you rarely pry into the answers to a question. Why are you so eager today? Are you worried that Zi Xiao might actually be dissatisfied and leave the Su family in a fit of anger one day? And then you'd feel lonely?"

"I...! No way! It's just Zixiao! I don't care about her...!"

"Tell the truth~ otherwise I wouldn't have answered your question."

Incidentally, Yu Zhe playfully closed his left eye at her: "Besides, Zi Xiao can't hear me right now, can she?"

"..."

Yu Che lowered his head and thought for a moment, then realized, "That's true..."

He would never say these things in front of Zixiao, but she wasn't there, and Lingyun wasn't a talkative person, not to mention that she was currently being pampered in her brother's arms and didn't care about what he was going to say at all.

Since that's the case... it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.

Yu Che pouted, her fingers intertwined, and reluctantly voiced her thoughts.

"Well... if she really leaves, maybe... no, she'll definitely feel a little lonely... We've lived together for ten years, and I've truly considered her family for a long time. I... I always tease her, and I'm afraid that after hearing the truth from Mom, her dissatisfaction with me will turn into hostility... That would be too... I'm not really teasing her, I just... I just want to tease her a little... If she takes it seriously, wouldn't that be terrible..."

Yu Che, quite unusually, rambled on and on.

As he finished speaking, Yu Zhe placed his free hand on her head with affection and relief.

"elder brother?"

"Haha, I'm so relieved right now. Yu Che, you really should say those words again in front of Zi Xiao. The harmonious relationship between you two sisters is something I wish for every year during Chinese New Year. Really."

"It's not that exaggerated!!"

Hehe, actually Yu Che's personality is indeed quite awkward.

She only opens her heart to Yu Zhe, saying whatever is on her mind.

But actually, Yu Che has a strong sense of pride deep down.

Her ideas for bullying Zixiao were simply an expression of her concern for Zixiao as an older sister.

Well, it would be better to reduce pranks like tying her up in the future.

If this happens a few more times, Zixiao will probably be driven crazy by you.

Yu Zhe's little hand patted Yu Che's head gently and rhythmically a few times.

"Very good, very good~ My Yuche is such a good girl. You've worked so hard all these years. Just like you promised me ten years ago, you've truly become a qualified and good older sister~"

"Um...don't do that...I'm not a child anymore..."

"Pfft, Yu Che, you're so inexplicably cute like this. Seriously, I strongly suggest you repeat what you just said to Zi Xiao again."

"I won't tell!! Absolutely not!!"

"It's okay~"

Yu Zhe chuckled mischievously and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Yu Che's eyes widened in surprise.

Because the voice memo app on my phone is recording.

“I recorded everything you just said. I’ll let Zixiao hear it sometime. I promise you, she’ll be moved to tears.”

"!!!"

56. That's really alright (Bonus Chapter)

"Aaaaaah, brother, are you a devil?! Delete it! Delete it now! I beg you, please delete it, waaaaah!"

Yun'er, this is the first time I've seen Sister Yuche like this.

Normally, Sister Yuche is full of dignity, but now her eyes are filled with tears of humiliation. She stretches out her short arms to reach for the phone that Brother Yuzhe is holding up, while she keeps uttering words of pleading that are as weak as can be.

Yun'er felt only a little surprised and intrigued.

However, judging from Yu Zhe's current physical condition, it's not so easy!

Yu Che wasn't wearing a coat; she was wearing a white lace shirt and a brown plaid skirt that reached her knees.

Below the plaid skirt, looking at those flawless white ice cream cones, she must be wearing white over-the-knee stockings.

Yu Che often wears these socks when she goes out with Yu Zhe. Yu Zhe knows why: it's because he said when he was little that he liked the design of these socks and thought they were pretty.

Of course, it's quite cold in these high-latitude coastal areas, so it's possible that she's wearing pantyhose like Xiaolizhi? Yuzhe can't be sure about that.

No! Is now the time to judge this kind of thing?

"Hey! Stop fighting! Go back and sit down!"

"No! Brother, delete it first!!"

Something bad in every sense of the word.

Yu Che tried to grab the phone and climb onto Yu Zhe. Her clothes weren't thick, and Yu Zhe could feel all sorts of unsettling touches.

Her silver hair kept brushing against Yu Zhe's cheeks, making them tickle.

After those two events this morning... Yu Zhe can't handle this kind of ordeal anymore.

During the struggle, her slippers fell to the ground with two thuds, her white-stockinged feet touching Yu Zhe's lower abdomen, and then continuing to move downwards...

Yu Zhe had no choice but to make a quick decision and stand up to dodge.

"Waaah... Brother, are you going to delete the recording?"

"Phew...can be deleted."

"Great! Let's hurry..."

"But that was after Zixiao heard it."

"devil!"

"Hmph~ I don't care what you say about me~ but Zixiao needs to hear this recording. Yuche, I'm not bullying you. Think about it, what were you worried about just now? Do you remember?"

Yu Che realized that she probably had no chance of getting the phone.

She gave up struggling and sat down on the sofa in a duck-like position, looking pitiful.

"My brother is clearly bullying me... why do I have to say it again..."

Mo Lingyun answered for the awkward Yu Che: "Sister Yu Che just said that she was worried that Zi Xiao would become dissatisfied with the Su family, or even with her, and leave the Su family in a fit of anger!"

"So you're the only one with a mouth, huh?!"

Before Yu Che could tackle Yun'er to teach her a lesson, Yu Zhe quickly put away his phone and explained.

"Think about it. Since you're worried that Zixiao might feel wronged, aren't you also worried that she might actually be dissatisfied with you? After all, you usually play quite a few pranks on her... That's a fact. You think you're trying to make her happy, but you don't express it. Zixiao will only feel that you're bullying her. In that case, wouldn't it be best to tell her what's on your mind? After hearing these words, any tiny bit of resentment that might exist in Zixiao's heart will disappear without a trace."

Even though she might not have even the slightest bit of resentment in her heart, listening to these words would definitely be beneficial and harmless.

Yu Zhe definitely didn't think it was fun or interesting to see Zi Xiao's reaction! She was really just doing her part to maintain harmony between the two sisters!

After saying that, Yu Zhe sat back down between the two of them: "I saw you were too shy to tell her directly, so I recorded it and played it for her. How does it feel now? After all, you've already said what you wanted to say~"

"Brother..." Yu Che immediately became obedient upon hearing this, and was extremely moved. "So that's why you recorded it... Waaah, you really love me the most, okay, I understand!"

Yes, you're so sensible, you've been a great help.

Yu Che suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly gestured with her hands in the air, while her little feet moved restlessly on the sofa surface, trying to emphasize it.

"Oh right...! Brother, let me know before you play the recording for her! I need to leave a kilometer away and come back after she's finished listening. If I'm there, that girl will definitely come and laugh at me! Also, tell her that once she's finished listening, that's it, and no one is allowed to mention this again!"

"Okay, okay~"

Yu Zhe and Yun'er exchanged a smile, both finding it quite amusing.

That awkward, arrogant guy is just too cute.

Oh right, I haven't answered Yu Che's question yet?

"You guys just asked me how I was sure Zixiao wasn't unhappy, right?"

“Yes.” Yun’er helped Yu Zhe straighten the small wrinkles on his clothes that had been caused when Yu Che climbed on him.

While tidying up, Yun'er asked, "If Brother Yuzhe can really confirm it, that would be great... but if he can't, I think we still need to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zixiao."

"Hehe, there's no need for that. I'm not going to say Zixiao is fine just to put your minds at ease. That's pointless. Zixiao is genuinely, truly, fine."

As Yu Zhe said this, he looked at the tightly closed door of Zi Xiao's room.

She's probably still obediently tied to the bed watching cat videos...

Ugh! Why would I think about that!

Yu Zhe shifted his focus to the first battle that took place around six o'clock this morning.

Suddenly, a noticeable flush appeared on his face, along with a happy smile.

This sudden change left Yu Che and Yun'er puzzled.

Sigh... It's embarrassing to say this, but we're all family, and to put their minds at ease, there's nothing I can't say.

"This morning... you two should already know, I saw that you just told Yun'er, Yu Che, that Zi Xiao came to my room at six o'clock... and we just took the opportunity to do some of those things, cough, never mind that, anyway, during that process, Zi Xiao suddenly said something to me, she said... she felt that life after coming to the Su family was very happy, and even said that it would have been better if she had met us a few years earlier, so that she could have known the wonders of this world earlier."

Yu Che blinked blankly after hearing this.

Yu Zhe thought she was going to express some thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly pointed at Yu Zhe and shouted.

"Ah! Brother, you and Zixiao were actually flirting and saying sweet nothings while you were doing *that*!!"

"You think I won't slap you?!"

You can't grasp the main point, can you?!
