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

What if she couldn't contain her shame and anger and just ran away and plunged into the sea?

Yu Zhe promptly removed both hands from her head and refocused his gaze on the spherical sand sculpture, which was much larger than his own head.

"Speaking of which, Ruoke, I think your idea is quite interesting, but why the moon? Are you interested in astronomy?"

"Not interested... Astronomy isn't on the college entrance exam..."

"..."

You're really honest. So you think it's unnecessary since it's not on the college entrance exam?

So Yu Zhe stopped asking. Creativity is like that; it's a sudden flash of inspiration. You don't know how you came up with it at the time, and if someone asks you about it later, you definitely won't know how you were thinking about it.

However... just as Yu Zhe was about to turn around and take a closer look at the sand sculpture...

Yu Zhe's arm was grabbed from behind.

It was gentle, without much force, but enough to make Yu Zhe pause for a moment.

"Ok?"

Turning around, I saw Xiao Ruoke with her head down, gripping the cuff of Yu Zhe's floral swimsuit with two fingers.

Her pink hair obscured her eyes as she lowered her head, making it difficult for Yu Zhe to judge her emotions based on her eyes.

There's no need for Yu Zhe to make any further judgments.

Because Qin Ruoke had already leaned forward and, in a very short time, brought her head close to Yu Zhe's face.

"!" "?"

All the girls immediately went into a state of high alert!

What do you want to do?!

They were all stunned, because no one expected that Qin Ruoke, with her personality, would dare to do such a thing in front of everyone!

She...she...! If she leaned forward just a little more, wouldn't she be kissing Yu Zhe?!

But Xiao Ruoke... really doesn't have that ability.

She just wanted to answer Yu Zhe's question—of course, only Yu Zhe could hear it.

Just as she was about to touch Yu Zhe's lips, she shifted her head away from its original path, moving closer to Yu Zhe's ear. Her soft breath and gentle, shy voice sent a tingling sensation through Yu Zhe's ear the moment she spoke, a very comfortable feeling.

Qin Ruoke was startled herself. She had leaned forward too forcefully and almost kissed him directly!

Seeing that Qin Ruoke didn't want to kiss, they were relieved.

If you're going to whisper, just whisper. Why are you making it so scary?

But what happened next was even more frightening.

Qin Ruoke's words didn't take long, less than ten seconds.

But as soon as she finished speaking and leaned back, her face was flushed red and she couldn't hide it.

Surprisingly, Yu Zhe's face also flushed red at a visible speed!

The effect was even more immediate than kissing!

They all wanted to know what Qin Ruoke had said.

But ultimately, no one is that tactless.

Each of them has their own space to communicate with Yu Zhe, and this time should not be interrupted by others.

Yu Zhe was truly shocked. After a long period of embarrassment, he opened his palms and covered his face, trying to control his emotions and return to normal.

You can't blame him for suddenly losing his composure like that...

Because you have absolutely no idea how destructive Xiao Ruoke can be when she suddenly starts saying sweet nothings.

Her words still lingered in the rain.

Zhe's ear.

—I made it to look like the moon... because you are the moonlight in my life. I don't know what the abstract concept of the moon actually looks like, but the moon is something that can be made. Actually, I wanted to make you out of sand, but that's too difficult...

Well.

With just a few simple words, Qin Ruoke had no idea that she had already turned the tables on Yu Zhe in terms of "bullying".

It was truly a counterattack.

The more Yu Zhe thought about her words, the more a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart.

— "How did you come up with this idea?"

"I just had you on my mind at the time."

Ha... so that's how ideas come about.

This reminded Yu Zhe of his previous birthday party, where Xiao Ruoke gave him a moon-themed gift—a crescent-shaped necklace. Although Xiao Ruoke had mistakenly bought a girl's necklace instead, Yu Zhe truly cherished it.

Judging from today's silly antics, Yu Zhe has finally understood his exact place in her heart.

A ray of bright white light in the darkness of life, a dawn in the night more dazzling than the sun.

That is hope.

Oh no, Yu Zhe felt he couldn't stay here any longer; something bad was likely to happen.

He tried to remain natural, first taking out his phone to take a picture of each of the three silly figures next to him, and then starting to leave.

I brushed past Xiao Ruoke as I left.

"Thank you." Yu Zhe's voice was unusually slightly flustered.

"Um... I am..." Qin Ruoke's expression, which she rarely couldn't suppress, showed a happy smile.

But she covered her face with her hands and didn't dare to look up!

This brief encounter, under normal circumstances, would probably make them all feel envious and jealous, right?

But this time it was okay.

Because Qin Ruoke has taken a step that belongs to her, even if it is a small and inconspicuous step, it is still worthy of their respect for the harmony of this scene.

Yu Che shook his head and chuckled softly, "You guys... you're really something. I've never seen my brother like that before, not even when I was little."

"Actually, this is how brother should be." Zixiao was jealous and pinched her thigh to keep calm. "He usually puts too much pressure on himself and rarely relaxes like this. We need to work harder and let brother experience this kind of feeling more often... Oh, by the way, Yuche, haven't you seen brother like that before?"

"What's wrong? It's not that it's completely nonexistent, it's just that it's relatively rare."

"Oh, oh~~" Zixiao finally felt she had won back some ground. "Actually, ever since we moved to the apartment, my brother has acted like that towards me several times~ You wouldn't believe it, would you~"

"Huh?! You brat, you're eating alone?!"

"No, you can only blame yourself for being too busy. You want to eat but can't, how can you blame me...?"

"You little brat, Zixiao! You stop right there!"

"Ha! The washboard's biting!"

"You dare call me a washboard?! Call me 'sister' now, you bastard!"

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly lively.

Everyone gained a lot from this beach trip and got to know each other much better.

They were all happy.

They all have bright futures.

Only one person had tears in their eyes.

Little Lychee, buried in the sand, struggled to lift her head from the sand to avoid Yu Che's little foot that almost stepped on her forehead, and then cried out!

"Waaah! Couldn't you have dug me out first?! You're all devils!! Big devils!!"

82. It's your name (Bonus chapter)

"Alright, it's getting dark. Everyone go to the changing rooms and change out of your swimsuits. Oh, and by the way, each changing room has a shower stall. Rinse off the sand before you leave, or your clothes and shoes will be full of sand, haha..."

After being woken up by Yu Zhe, Yang Qiuyun gathered everyone together to make arrangements and instructions for the future.

After they all chatted and laughed as they walked together toward the changing room cabin.

Yang Qiuyun yawned widely.

She tilted her head and looked at the horizon. The sun was only a sliver of light left; it must have been past six in the evening.

Haha... how did I sleep until this late? This warm sunshine at the beach is truly a gift from the god of sleep, it's simply...

"Mom...you slept through the whole afternoon without playing with everyone for a while," Yu Zhe complained helplessly.

Yang Qiuyun replied immediately: "Then it must be because your sister Lin Yin didn't call me!"

"Don't embarrass yourself." Lin Yin, who had just woken up as well, made a chopstick with her hand and lightly tapped Yang Qiuyun's head. "It was clearly you, Qiuyun, who said that you shouldn't be disturbed except for things like flash floods and tsunamis. Now you're blaming me? Do you have any right to blame me? You usually stay up all night watching TV series until the early hours of the morning, and then sleep until noon the next day. How could you not be sleepy?"

"Don't expose me, Lin Yin... Yu Zhe is still here, give me some face."

"I'm only saying this because Xiao Yuzhe is here, so he can see what kind of mother you are."

"It's alright, Sister Lin Yin." Yu Zhe smiled and didn't express any opinion on Yang Qiuyun's daily routine.

This really touched Yang Qiuyun.

"Sigh... My son is so considerate. Look at my Yuzhe, he never criticizes me."

"Because even if Sister Lin Yin didn't say it, I already know what kind of person you are, so I'm too lazy to explain."

"This is outrageous!!"

Regardless of her fake crying, it's despicable. Yu Zhe shouldn't be influenced by bad company.

Of course, there's also... Yu Zhe isn't qualified to comment much on Yang Qiuyun's schedule, especially considering how strictly Zi Xiao manages Yu Zhe's routine.

Previously, his daily routine was even more regular than Yang Qiuyun's.

Yang Qiuyun was still muttering to herself, "And you're talking about me...and Lin Yin is the same, as if you woke up in the middle, you've been sleeping until now..."

"Oh wow, you know what, I actually did wake up."

Speaking of this, Lin Yin had to say a few words: "I'm different from you. I have to be vigilant about my surroundings and wake up every now and then to check my surroundings. That's basic. Don't think that everyone can sleep like a log like you."

"Oh no... even Lin Yin, you've started to dare to scold me now! You've been corrupted by Yu Zhe and the others!"
