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

But that impact was real!

Yu Zhe's back hurts so much he wants to cry!!

Secondary damage, how could it come so suddenly? Am I having a Mercury retrograde today?

Yu Zhe was in severe back pain, but he couldn't care less about himself. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to check on Mo Lingyun's condition.

"Yun'er? Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

"Um... I'm fine, Brother Yuzhe... Are you alright too... I told you, don't walk backwards... it's too dangerous, but just now... I think I bumped into something...?"

"Phew, it's good that you're alright... Oh, now that you mention it... I think I bumped into something too."

Yu Zhe belatedly touched the back of his head, which was slightly sore.

That's weird... My head hurts a little, but when I fell, it felt like I landed on a marshmallow. Even if the soil is soft, it shouldn't provide such a ridiculous cushioning.

I have a feeling that something is pressing down on me...

Yu Zhe rolled over to the side, and almost at the same time as Yun'er, he turned his gaze to the ground beneath him.

Then...

“Little Lychee!!”

Underneath the body.

It turned out to be Little Lychee, who had been knocked unconscious, her eyes darting around like mosquito coils, and a smile still on her face.

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

"Digging holes! You're just digging holes! You've got nothing better to do than dig in the yard, haven't you! You're like a dog climbing on the roof if you're not disciplined for three days straight! Don't you know you're wrong?!"

"Waaaa, Brother Yuzhe, please stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, you'll really make me stupid!"

"I'm trying to make you smarter!"

This collision once again proved that Little Lychee's head is truly made of iron.

Yu Zhe's head is still buzzing, and his back is aching terribly, as if it were broken.

Little Lychee, surprisingly, had fully recovered in such a short time, her head, which had been hit hard, was as if it had never been hit at all.

The three of them worked together to climb out of the half-meter-deep pit, and Yu Zhe then gave Xiao Lizhi a good whack on the head.

Are you a three-year-old?! Are you digging for treasure in the yard?!

Little Lychee covered her head, looking aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"No...no, you have to let me explain...I wasn't digging a hole, I was filling it in..."

"Fill a hole? You're supposed to stand inside the hole and fill it? And why would there be a hole for you to fill in?!"

"No... my shovel fell into the pit, I just went down to get it, and then... I got hit."

Seeing that her brother Yuzhe didn't believe her, Xiaolizhi organized her thoughts and began to explain in detail from the beginning.

"The day we arrived, we were digging a hole together to set a trap for Aunt Yang, right? Lingyun, you should know about this, we dug it together. Then this morning, Sister Lin Yin wasn't home, and Aunt Yang complained that we'd have to find time to have someone fill the big hole, which was a hassle. I said, 'No need! I'll fill the hole myself!' Then Aunt Yang gave me a small shovel and left me here to fill the hole... Who knew Brother Yu Zhe and Lingyun would appear from the yard... Eh? Shouldn't you be outside? I've been digging here all morning, and I haven't seen you come back?"

Incidentally, Xiaolizhi also picked up her little shovel from the pit and showed it to Yuzhe.

"..."

Yu Zhe's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no... does this mean we've wronged the innocent kid?

20. Both witnesses and physical evidence are available.

Yu Zhe turned to Yun'er for help.

But Yun'er could only manage a bitter smile.

It means that I am unable to help.

She couldn't talk about this, after all... she was also one of Xiao Lizhi's accomplices.

What Xiaolizhi just said is true. This big pit was indeed dug by everyone together a few days ago when Yuzhe was not around, in order to help "capture" Yang Qiuyun.

Therefore, Yun'er can be considered one of the instigators, and she shares the same stance as Xiao Lizhi, so she has no right to say anything more.

Yu Zhe is truly impressed...

This large pit has been covered with wire mesh for the past two days.

He memorized the terrain, but the barbed wire was suddenly moved without his knowledge.

That's how he fell into the pit, and incidentally, he also accidentally injured the kind-hearted little lychee...

This is definitely a case of Xiao Lizhi being wronged.

What should we do in this situation...?

First of all, apologize!

An apology is definitely not enough...

Yu Zhe's mind raced.

He had a sudden inspiration!

The seriousness on his face completely turned into a gentle smile.

And with both hands, he helped Little Lychee brush the dust off her golden hair.

Her gentle aura is irresistible, making her a perfect tool for dealing with Lychee.

"I'm so sorry, Little Lychee, did you hurt yourself? Look at you, all covered in dirt. You were so careless. What if you got hurt? You should go back and change your clothes, take a shower, and rest. You've been digging all morning, you must be tired. Leave the rest to me, okay?"

"Brother Yuzhe..."

Little Lychee was very touched.

She nuzzled Yu Zhe's hand with her head, very docilely.

Then she blinked her curious big eyes.

He repeated himself.

"Alright, then it's up to you. So, why did you guys appear from the yard?"

"!"

You bastard!

Can't you just cooperate and let me change the subject?

Little Lychee is naive, but always naive in its simplicity.

In matters of great importance, she always manages to grasp the essentials at crucial moments!

"Well... um... actually, there's a side path over there, and Yun'er and I took the side path back."

"Ah, I see."

"call..."

Fortunately, when Xiao Lizhi asks questions, as long as the surface reason is known, she doesn't bother to delve too deeply, since she doesn't have much of a brain.

However, just a few minutes later.

Yu Zhe immediately regretted using that excuse.

He underestimated Little Lychee's limited intelligence.

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

"Zixiao, Zixiao! Brother Yuzhe and Lingyun took the back path when they came back! Shall we go and take a look? There should be butterflies over there."

"They're back?! Xiao Lu...? Never mind Xiao Lu for now, we'll talk about that later. Where are they?"

"Little Lychee!!"

The sound grew louder as it approached, and Yu Zheyun'er arrived late.

Yu Zhe's back hurts! He couldn't catch up with that idiot!

After hearing that she was going to take the shortcut, Little Lychee's eyes lit up with excitement, and she said she would take Zixiao and the others to the flower field along the shortcut to catch butterflies.

Catching butterflies is fine, but you're making me easy prey, you know!

Yu Zheyun pushed open the villa's front door as quickly as possible and chased after them.

The girls were sitting around the sofa in the living room watching TV.

Hearing the sound, they all turned to look at the door.

When Yu Zhe's face finally came into view, they all felt a strange sense of relief.

Honestly, the nights without Yu Zhe are filled with a sense of being in a foreign land, making them truly unbearable.

But! It's really going too far to disappear without explaining what happened last night!

Oh dear...

Yu Zhe was very nervous at first, but after observing everyone, he realized that... no one seemed to have noticed anything unusual about Xiao Lizhi's words.

Thinking about it, that's normal... Yu Zhe's thought process is a bit different. He felt that if Xiao Lizhi said "small path", they would definitely doubt why he didn't take the main entrance, and then they would suspect the existence of the "small castle".

Phew... It's good they didn't ask that. What if they had discovered that there was a hidden secret in the small warehouse?

—This matter involves Mom.

If it weren't for her mother arranging all of this, how could Yuzhe have known about this little warehouse that served as a happy paradise for herself and Yun'er?

Yu Zhe left without telling them beforehand last night, and he knew he was bound to get a scolding from them.

But her mother helped her a lot yesterday, so Yu Zhe at least wants to protect her.

Unfortunately, Yu Zhe overlooked one crucial point.

Among these people, there is one whose thought process is extremely similar to his.

That's Yu Che.

The moment she saw Yu Zhe enter, her body instinctively wanted to rush over to him.

But because she hadn't heard her brother's explanation of what happened last night, her pride made her hesitate for a moment.
