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

"Aren't you going to take a nap and rest?"

"I can't sleep."

"Is it because of what I did with Lingyun last night... cough, it hasn't cooled down yet?"

"Oh dear, I never expected Ruoke to say such vulgar things~"

"You're really something... Is it fun to bully me?"

"Fun, super fun."

"..."

Yu Zhe felt that this was all the ambition he had achieved.

“The temperature has already dropped since yesterday,” Yu Zhe answered her question directly. “It’s just that you guys… well, I don’t know what Xiao Meng is thinking right now. Xiao Ruo Ke, what are you thinking?”

"What do you mean?"

"Yu Che's request just now."

Yu Zhe spoke very frankly, and he didn't mean to joke.

He really wanted to know what everyone was thinking about this. Tacit approval didn't mean they felt good about it. Yu Zhe was always concerned about each of their feelings.

Speaking of which...

Qin Ruoke finally changed her expression.

She was just filled with confusion and shame at being bullied.

Upon hearing this topic, a faint smile finally appeared on her face.

"My thoughts? You really want to hear them?"

"That's not it."

"Hmph~ Does my opinion matter? You bully me all the time, and you actually think I have a say in something like this?"

Qin Ruoke said this in a joking tone.

She was enjoying the feeling of being valued by Yu Zhe at that moment.

And I wanted to use this method to get him to pay a little more attention...

That's what you want.

Yu Zhe placed the teacup on the balcony platform. He and Qin Ruoke were almost the same height, and with a simple movement, he gently put his arm around Ruoke's waist.

Furthermore, Yu Zhe even moved his waist closer to hers.

You could feel Xiao Ruoke shudder.

Yu Zhe also shuddered!

Xiao Ruoke is shy, while Yu Zhe has a backache!

I've been careless again!

Yu Zhe endured the pain and his brows twitched twice as he spoke.

"Your right to speak is very important. As long as you speak, I will listen."

Um...

The sea breeze blew again, carrying those words from Xiao Ruoke's ears and into her heart.

The cries of seagulls are very soothing.

A year ago, when I was all alone and had no one to rely on, I probably never imagined that this young master would one day say such things to me when he transferred to our school and first walked into the classroom...

All I can say is that it was like a dream.

Xiao Ruoke savored the moment for a long time.

She reluctantly opened her eyes, and her cherry-colored eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

She carried with her expectations and memories.

She revealed her only wish now.

"If my right to speak really matters, then Yu Zhe, can you... kiss me now?"

25. The Not-So-Terrible Sense of Oppression

Humans really do evolve.

This refers not only to Qin Ruoke's unprecedented initiative, but also to Yu Zhe's subtle evolution.

In the past, he would pretend to be calm on the surface, but if he encountered such a situation, he would probably be in a state of endless panic and confusion.

But now... Yu Zhe feels that he has this responsibility.

If I panic, then little Ruoke, who mustered up her courage, will be too pitiful.

Therefore, Yu Zhe gave his most reliable answer, which also showed respect for Xiao Ruoke's wishes, that is, the "decision-making right" that belonged to her.

"Sure, no problem at all. Hmm... shall I kiss you, or will you kiss me?"

"You...you do it...I don't know how to do this..."

Haha, Xiao Ruoke, there's no way to describe this kind of thing with "can't" or "doesn't know".

I'll kiss you a couple more times, and you'll get it.

Last night, Yu Zhe was almost entirely in a passive position with Yun'er, so suddenly gaining the initiative made him feel a bit out of sorts.

Qin Ruoke cooperated.

As Yu Zhe embraced her waist with both arms, just as he was about to kiss her, Qin Ruoke closed her eyes, waiting for him to arrive.

Yu Zhe narrowed his azure eyes, his silver hair sweeping through the air, creating a silvery trail in the summer light, the ends brushing against Qin Ruoke's restless hands. It was as if he was suggesting that she could place her hands on Yu Zhe's chest.

Qin Ruoke did indeed do as instructed.

With my palm pressed against Yu Zhe's chest, I could feel the powerful pulse of his heart.

beat.

But Qin Ruoke couldn't hear it, because her own heartbeat was much louder than the sound.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..."

"Well..."

The distance between the two is no longer as great as it used to be.

It's only a foot apart.

Yu Zhe tilted his head and, at an extremely slow pace that Qin Ruoke could feel throughout, gently kissed her lips.

Their moist lips touched, and the incredibly bouncy sensation made Qin Ruoke unable to keep her eyes closed any longer. Instead, she opened her eyes almost passively.

Her legs suddenly tensed up, then slowly relaxed.

This simple action already speaks volumes.

Yu Zhe, that scoundrel...

Not content with verbally bullying me, he actually put it into practice...

I just wanted a kiss, not a request for you to show off your tongue skills!

Until a crystal-clear droplet, reflecting the sunlight, fell lightly onto the floor along Xiao Ruoke's lips and chin, and burst open gently.

Yu Zhe then withdrew his supernatural powers.

The departure process was equally slow.

The difficulty level is different from when you first came across it.

It would take a lot of effort to get past Xiao Ruoke's teeth while kissing her, but when he left, she had no defenses left, and Yu Zhe could do whatever he wanted.

Just how obsessed was she?

Simply put, for example, right now, Yu Zhe's head has returned to a position one foot away from her, while Xiao Ruo Ke seems to have forgotten to retract her tongue... and is still cooperating with Yu Zhe's movements.

Hehe, I got too into it.

Yu Zhe first adjusted his own state before he had the energy to remind Xiao Ruo Ke.

"Phew... Calm down, calm down, hey, it's over, okay?"

"No...it's not...oh! I'm sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing...? I should be the one saying that, but no, I should say, thank you for the treat~"

"You're welcome?"

Isn't this a complete brain short circuit?

No, Xiao Ruoke's brain overheated and her brain circuits were completely burned out.

A cool sea breeze blew in again, which effectively relieved and cooled Qin Ruoke's emotions.

Belatedly, her cheeks flushed bright red, and even the roots of her ears seemed to be burning hot from the sea breeze—it was utterly absurd.

Well... Yu Zhe isn't really in a position to criticize her.

The two of them slowly wiped the glistening tears from the corners of their mouths with their sleeves, temporarily avoiding each other's gaze, and tacitly remained silent for less than a minute.

Yu Zhe and Xiao Ruo Ke are both smart people. They know that at this moment, it is best to wait and speak later.

If things had continued in that atmosphere, the situation would likely have spiraled out of control.

After all... both of them acted impulsively just now.

Yu Zhe wanted to take Qin Ruoke's hand, lead her to the room, and then continue kissing her.

Qin Ruoke's impulse was even more obvious; she simply wanted to pounce on Yu Zhe right there and then, saving herself the trouble of going back to her room.

But... that won't work now.

As soon as Yu Che finished speaking, Qin Ruoke realized that she wasn't that unreasonable.

Yu Zhe was the same. This time, he was determined to give his little princess complete happiness first. This was a matter of principle. Before that, he had to suppress any impulses he might have.

And then there's the most crucial, and most realistic, objective problem.
