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

"Isn't she cute? My Xue'er."

"Hmm? Hmm, cute. I saw Xue'er in Fenghai City. She was much more interesting and cute than this silly dog. Of course, this silly dog ​​has also captured the essence of the word."

"As long as it's cute..."

"?"

Yu Zhe was a little stunned for a moment.

Zixiao said before, and recently her mother also said, that Yuzhe still doesn't understand girls' feelings enough.

Now, doesn't Xiaomeng want me to praise Xue'er? I'm telling the truth.

Although Xiaomeng was happy, she still seemed to have something on her mind.

Yu Che really couldn't stand it anymore.

My brother is good at everything. He could probably learn to build this kind of silly sculpture in a while and reach the same level. But when it comes to understanding girls' thoughts, he's sometimes fast, but sometimes he's so slow it's like his brain is stuck!

The current situation is the latter.

Looks like I'll have to lend a hand.

Sigh, even though Yu Che didn't want to help them, she had to be conscientious.

She should be a force to protect her brother's harem, not engage in infighting, which benefits no one.

This is the magnanimity of a washboard!

"Cough, cough!"

Yu Che coughed twice in the opposite direction from Xiao Meng.

Yu Zhe was already facing her, so his gaze naturally drifted towards Yu Che's direction.

She quickly winked at herself and, while still squatting on the ground, patted Little Lychee's head up and down with her tiny palms.

"Ouch! Sister Yuche! Stop hitting her! She'll get stupid if you keep hitting her!"

"You've never been smart. Even burying you in the sand wouldn't shut you up. You want to bury your head in it too?!"

Little Lychee's face turned deathly pale: "No, no, no! I'll shut up right now! Waaah... I'm sure you guys beat me senseless..."

In everyone's eyes, Yu Che was just bullying Xiao Lizhi for fun.

But Yu Zhe... understands Yu Che too well.

Without her making any unnecessary movements, it would be a waste for Xiao Lizhi to get beaten up. Yu Zhe could accurately extract the information just from Yu Che's eyes.

The gifted siblings have developed a tacit understanding over the past decade or so—exchanging glances.

Yu Che's meaning is simple and clear.

—She herself wants to be praised, not her dog.

Enlightenment!

Sister, thank you for your guidance!

Yu Zhe suddenly understood.

Xiaomeng just asked if it was cute. Although she clearly meant whether that silly person was cute, how could a girl directly ask if she was cute? She'd definitely have to beat around the bush...

Uh, to correct something, Yu Che really does come directly to ask questions quite often.

Having understood the cause and effect, Yu Zhe didn't waste any time. He lifted his hand from the sand sculpture dog's head, patted the sand off, and took a few steps back to Xiao Meng. His small hand immediately landed on Xiao Meng's head.

"But compared to your Xue'er, my Xiaomeng is cuter."

"Well!"

My... little cutie?!

Is this what it feels like to ascend to heaven?

The sand underfoot was already soft enough, and Xiaomeng felt like her legs didn't even belong to her anymore.

Xiaomeng hates being touched on the head, except by Yuzhe.

Yu Che is right... People always need to find a reason to act cute, such as being small or childish... At this moment, they seem so insignificant.

Rather, I just want to act like a child and be spoiled!

Xiao Meng forgot to speak, but just smiled at Yu Zhe with an upward gaze, while tiptoeing to try to rub her head against Yu Zhe's palm. She was so dazed that Yu Zhe was a little stunned... and his heart fluttered.

Wow... it seems this trip has truly brought people closer together.

I didn't touch her head for too long.

Firstly, Xiaomeng's condition was not right; her eyes were becoming increasingly unfocused. Yuzhe was afraid that he would be tackled or buried in the sand like Xiaolizhi, neither of which would be pleasant.

Secondly, the gazes of the girls around him didn't support Yu Zhe continuing to touch her.

Just touch it a couple of times, that's enough! We're all still here.

Yu Zhe knew when to stop and turned back to look at the last sand sculpture.

Compared to the puppy from before, this one is much simpler; it's just a sphere with a base.

The surface of this sphere is mottled and pitted, making it resemble a star.

It's not Earth...it's the Moon?

"That, that's the moon." Xiaomeng patted her chest to catch her breath, not daring to look directly at Yuzhe's face, but she continued to explain.

This moon sand sculpture deserves mention because...

"That was Qin Ruoke's idea, isn't that rare?"

"..."

real or fake.

What idea came from Xiao Ruoke?

This is a great idea! The sand texture to resemble the moon doesn't feel out of place at all, whether in terms of color or graininess.

That's not important. The important thing is... this is evidence that Xiao Ruoke participated in everyone's activities.

Yu Zhe immediately looked at Qin Ruoke, who was standing at the very edge, with satisfaction.

Qin Ruoke was so frightened that her hair turned white.

With a shudder, her body instinctively took a step back.

"W-What's wrong?"

What do you think happened?

If the builders of sand sculptures need to be praised, then shouldn't the creators of sand sculptures also be praised?

As Qin Ruoke looked up with a slightly nervous expression, Yu Zhe had already walked up to her.

His beaming smile dazzled Qin Ruoke.

Qin Ruoke had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going to happen, but she had to say it!

"What are you doing... You don't mean you're going to treat Luo Xiaomeng the way you treated... Hey?!"

Waaah, I didn't finish!

"Why not? I think it has to be this way."

Qin Ruoke immediately felt the warmth above her head.

Yu Zhe actually touched her head again in front of everyone!

"...Don't do that! It's so embarrassing...Hey!"

"Huh? Really? Hehe, I didn't notice."

"?! You're using two hands...!"

Yu Zhe also used his other hand.

"Good boy, good boy~"

"..."

Qin Ruoke gave up struggling.

She lowered her arms, letting Yu Zhe freely ruffle her hair with both hands.

What else can we do?

She's been constantly "bullied" by Yu Zhe lately, but she doesn't seem to want to fight back at all.

She even felt a shameful longing in her heart to respond to Yu Zhe's caresses.

I couldn't possibly be that childish!

But that's just how it is, isn't it infuriating?

Qin Ruoke remained motionless, closing her eyes, otherwise her brain might crash from embarrassment.

When the brain can't send commands to the body, then all you can do is give up.

Sigh... I've resigned myself to my fate.

81. The Source of Creativity

This is not bullying Xiao Ruoke at all.

Yu Zhe really doesn't find this funny!

I'm seriously praising and encouraging her creativity, okay? Creativity needs encouragement, I have no ulterior motives!

Ugh... Well, sometimes it's more fun to just admit it. Rubbing Xiao Ruoke's head is so satisfying, I just can't stop.

Finally, I managed to ruffle her hair.

"Oh! Okay, okay! Stop, stop! You're such a grown man! Still...still touching my head..."

"Ha...sorry, sorry~"

Are you saying I'm childish, or that you're old enough that I can't treat you like a child anymore?

These questions are not to be asked. Everyone is still watching, and Xiao Ruoke's mental state is almost at its limit.
