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

If his brother heard Yu Che crying like this, his heart would ache...

When she was terrified to the extreme, a tear involuntarily rolled down Zixiao's cheek.

But the tears didn't fall; Zixiao knew what she should do now.

No...this can't be. Yuche and her brother should be happy. They should be happy!

She didn't know where she got the courage from.

Zixiao suddenly stood up, hugged Yuche tightly, and awkwardly patted her back to comfort her.

"Sister...don't...don't cry, I'm here...please don't cry...I don't care about the company anymore, I don't care anymore...just tell brother, he'll understand...brother spoils you the most...you're already outstanding enough...you're brother's greatest pride, sob...if you keep crying...I'll cry too!"

"...?"

Often, on a cold night, all it takes is a single match to provide warmth and give people enough confidence to wait for the dawn.

At that moment, Yu Che felt the warmth of her family.

Her trembling from crying subsided considerably.

Until the crying gradually stopped.

The crying stopped, and the room gradually became completely silent.

Zixiao knew she couldn't let herself fall apart along with her...

Struggling internally, Zixiao held back the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then she forced back the bitterness in her heart and wanted to let go of Yu Che to see how she was doing.

Then... suddenly Yu Che burst out laughing.

"Pfft... Hahaha! Su Zixiao! What did you just call me? Sister? If I keep crying, will you cry too? Hmm, that's a good way to address me! Come on, call me sister again!"

As if she had been electrocuted, Zixiao blushed and immediately let go of Yuche.

There was a hint of anger clearly visible on her face.

Normally, Zixiao would definitely feel like she'd been tricked.

Her well-intentioned attempt to comfort her resulted in this awkward situation; this was one of Yu Che's usual tricks to tease her!

But this time... Zixiao understood that Yuche had really cried.

Now, she had only just recovered slightly and was forcing a smile as usual.

The evidence is that she hadn't wiped away the tear stains from the corners of her eyes.

Zixiao... also had her own awareness.

She not only didn't blame Yu Che for his "mockery," but also took another tissue and handed it to Yu Che.

After that, Zixiao took two steps back.

He bowed deeply to Yu Che.

His tone was extremely sincere.

"Sister, you've really worked hard all these years!"

"..."

Yu Che was stunned for a moment.

This seems to be... the first time Zixiao has genuinely called her "sister," right?

Really... there was no need to make such a big fuss.

Yu Che inwardly lamented her own dereliction of duty as an older sister, realizing that her younger sister had to comfort her; it was truly outrageous.

At this moment, Yu Che finally stopped crying and started laughing; the storm had passed and the sun was shining again.

She used the tissue Zixiao had given her to wipe her tears, and at the same time, she pulled out a new one, jumped off the chair, stood on tiptoe, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Zixiao's eyes.

At the same time, Yu Che threw the two tissues into the trash can, put her hands on her hips, and smiled confidently again.

"Hmph~ Sheltering my weak little sister from the wind and rain, I'm not a bad older sister! Well done, Zixiao, you're very conscientious. Hmm, if they all had your level of awareness, I don't think I would have anything to complain about."

"Yu Che...you...ouch, that hurts!"

Yu Che flicked him on the forehead.

Yu Che withdrew her finger from her hand: "So you're not going to call me 'sister' anymore?"

"Haha... It's okay to keep the nickname in your heart; it's too embarrassing to keep calling it out."

“You…” Yu Che shook her head with a wry smile, one hand on her hip, then suddenly nodded in agreement, “Yeah, if you keep calling me sister, I think I’ll feel nauseous and want to throw up.”

"Hey!! That's going too far!!"

Yu Che ignored her, walked to the door, and opened his own room door.

"Alright, alright, that's settled. Now get out of here and go to sleep! Kids who stay up all night, how are they going to grow tall!"

"..."

Yu Che, there are quite a few things you said that are hard to criticize.

First of all, you're only a year older than me, and secondly, you have absolutely no right to comment on height.

topic.

As Zixiao walked to the door to leave, she asked with some concern.

"Yu Che...? Are you sure you're okay? Don't just close the door and hide away to cry."

"Hey! Su Zixiao, who do you think you are! How many times have you seen me cry since you were a child?! You're not going to stop after just one time, are you! Get out of here!"

"Okay, okay! Don't push me!"

Just as Yu Che was about to push Zi Xiao out of the room.

Just as the door frame was about to close.

Zixiao heard Yuche's soft and rapid whisper.

"Zixiao... Anyway, thank you for today."

Clang.

The door is closed.

Zixiao stood outside the door, stunned for a long time, before confirming something.

Hmm, it seems Yu Che is really alright.

Goodnight, sister.

I can finally go back to sleep without insomnia!

16. Message

Zixiao happily went back to her room to sleep. Although she was still jealous of Yu Zheyun, she was in a much better mood than before.

Yu Che, inside the door, leaned against the door panel with his hands behind his back, remaining motionless for a long time.

She lowered her head, her silver hair brushing against her profile, and a smile already touched her exquisite face.

Well, although it feels a bit embarrassing for her as the older sister to say it out loud, in the end, she was indeed healed by Zixiao.

Yu Che had said long ago that Zi Xiao had a certain quality. Despite her being incompetent, annoying, stupid, and useless, her pure soul could always heal those around her.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she was able to win her brother's affection and become his emotional support during her childhood.

Yu Che has accepted this.

It's not a recent thing that I've come to appreciate Zixiao; just as Yuche said, she was just being difficult today.

But today, I've finally accepted it.

Okay, from now on, whenever my brother and I get intimate, as long as you stay far away, we'll be best friends! Otherwise, I'll punch you!

Yu Che gave a wry smile, tapped the door frame lightly with her fingers behind her back, and started walking forward. With light steps, she fell face down onto the soft bed, her slippers sliding off her little feet with the inertia and landing with two thuds.

Feeling the soft bed, Yu Che let out a soft, cute moan from her throat.

After lying down for a while...

Yu Che rolled over, curled up her legs, and lazily reached for her phone, which was connected to a charging cable, on the bedside table.

It's Zixiao's business to acknowledge her.

As for that brat Mo Lingyun... she's really infuriating!

Trying to play dirty tricks on me, huh!

Yu Che pressed and held the power button on his phone, staring at the screen as it booted up, his eyes remaining calm and undisturbed.

It seemed like it was expecting something, but then again, it seemed like it wasn't.

Yu Che's phone ran out of battery and shut down when the fireworks display ended.

Just before Zixiao arrived, she had plugged her phone in and charged it enough to turn it on.

The reason why it wouldn't charge or turn on after I got home... is probably because of Yuche's own little temper.

Knowing Yu Zhe as she did, she knew that her brother would definitely call her to comfort her after discovering Mo Lingyun's plan.

Yu Che really wanted to hear Yu Zhe comfort her, but... she was just angry tonight!

So I'm not turning my phone on! You can't get through! Don't try to comfort me! Go have fun with your Yun'er!

Cough... Of course, this was just Yu Che's initial reaction when she got carried away. She was actually quite worried that Yu Zhe might worry about her if he called her but no one answered.

But after seeing her mother answer a phone call from her brother, Yuche no longer had this worry.

I'm sure my brother knows why I haven't been charging my phone... Hmph, this isn't over until I get two baskets of steamed dumplings made by you!

Yu Che turned on her phone to charge, perhaps still holding onto a sliver of hope.

That girl Mo Lingyun...wouldn't she be a little more sensible and send me an apology or something? After all, your little trick of snatching someone right under my nose is a bit unethical.

Hey~

The phone's light came on, and after a crisp startup sound, the phone turned on.

Of course, it's not just the startup sound.
