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

Immediately afterwards, we heard Little Lychee panting heavily.

"Phew...! Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Yuzhe! Shall we go now? Changing clothes took up time... I spent ages tying this ribbon, and I'm not even sure if I tied it right... Ah... Brother Yuzhe looks so cute!"

"..."

This outfit was also prepared by Yang Qiuyun.

Yang Qiuyun squinted and took a look, then immediately gave a thumbs up!

"That's how you tie the straps! Great job, Little Lychee! I knew this outfit would suit you perfectly. You're half Scandinavian, and if Elisa looks good in it, you'll definitely wear it too!"

Klomer is practically a hometown for Little Lychee, so when you're back home, you should naturally follow local customs and wear some Scandinavian-style clothes.

Yang Qiuyun carefully selected this silk dress for her.

The main design features a black and white grid pattern, with a luxurious black ribbon tied at the waist and a bow at the end. The excess ribbon hangs naturally down the hem of the skirt.

A pair of small high heels suited her well, making Xiao Lizhi's figure appear even more graceful.

Little Lychee's long golden hair cascaded down her back, exuding a noble elegance and natural grace.

Perhaps the only drawback is that when Xiao Lizhi walks in these high heels, it's almost like she's limping!

We always need to find a balance!

You, Miss Ouyang, can't even wear high heels? You're used to being lazy, aren't you?

However, it's harmless.

Judging from her demeanor, this is sufficient; she'll get used to it after walking a few more steps.

Yang Qiuyun quietly poked Yu Zhe's waist with her finger.

Ouch, don't poke my waist! That's where I'm injured right now!

However, Yu Zhe could perfectly understand what Yang Qiuyun meant.

She was saying, "Hurry up and say something to compliment Little Lychee, she's dressed so beautifully."

Even if you don't tell me to praise someone, I will still praise them anyway, without being reminded.

Saying things like "This outfit suits you perfectly" is too common.

There's a saying that's more suitable for her at this moment.

"Little Lychee, how many years has it been since you last visited your maternal grandma's house?"

"The last time I came back...? That was probably... when I was just starting junior high school? Hehe... I was only this tall back then, but I've grown quite a bit in the past few years."

Don't try to compare heights by looking at Xiaomeng! Can't you see she's about to hit you?!

And the height you gestured when you were in junior high, wasn't it half a head taller than Xiaomeng is now?!

Suppress the urge to complain, but still finish saying the words of praise.

"Yes." Yu Zhe was genuinely looking forward to it for her. "When you go to see your grandparents later, they will definitely be proud of you."

32. Stroll along the coast

The coastal breeze is light and cheerful. As dusk approaches and night falls, a stroll along the quiet and spacious coastal path is a unique experience.

The scenery is delightful, but the people are even more delightful.

From here, Yu Zhe and Xiao Lizhi need to follow this path to the nearby bus stop.

The coastal path is rarely visited, and the tranquility of the Nordic town is truly well-deserved.

The plan was to take a bus along the coastal road directly to Xiaolizhi's maternal grandmother's house.

It's true that Lu Ling and Lu Yao can drive you around, but Yu Zhe always feels that doing it this way all the time... makes it lack the real feeling of traveling.

Moreover, Yu Zhe wanted to help Xiao Lizhi find her childhood memories.

I heard that Xiao Lizhi attended primary school in Klomer for two years when she was a child.

Back then, she often took the school bus home.

It's a rare treat to return to the small town of my memories. Even if the buildings and streets are different now, it's still a pleasure to find that familiar flavor in life.

Little Lychee seemed to want to show off that she could finally walk in high heels. She spread her arms and strolled quickly along the roadside flowers and plants.

Humming a little tune, with a satisfied smile on her face, she walked backwards in front of Yu Zhe, occasionally turning around in circles, the black ribbon tied around her waist spinning with her movements.

Seriously... I feel like even the fish in the sea don't understand happiness as well as you.

Yu Zhe knew it was pointless to say that, but he still gave a wry smile and offered a word of advice.

"wearing high heels"

"Don't jump like that! My back's not feeling well today. If you twist your ankle, we'll have to camp out in this desolate wilderness!"

It's a bit windy, so Little Lychee can't hear very clearly.

"Huh? What did you say, Brother Yuzhe?"

"I said... Oh well, never mind, it's okay, you can jump!"

As long as you're not afraid of pain, it's okay to sprain your ankle.

because...

Lu Ling and Lu Yao are definitely following nearby.

When they had a guard duty, they stayed by Yu Zhe's side every step of the way, and this commitment remained unchanged even when they weren't on duty.

Just now, when Yu Zhe took Xiao Lizhi out of the seaside villa, he noticed that Lu Ling and Lu Yao followed them out.

But after only a few steps, when they turned around, they were nowhere to be found.

There's really no need to hide in the shadows for protection... Wouldn't it be better to just walk alongside each other, chatting and laughing like friends?

But this is just Yu Zhe's own idea...

If he were in Lu Ling and Lu Yao's shoes, he could understand why they needed to be hidden and protected.

Yu Zhe hasn't accepted their status as "lovers" yet, and Yu Zhe's trip back to Xiao Lizhi's maternal grandmother's house can be considered a half-date.

Given this, Lu Ling and Lu Yao, as "guards," would never walk openly beside the two of them. (Monthly membership group: 694936135)

Sigh... to be honest, about this...

Actually... Yu Zhe's mindset has been a bit wavering lately.

He was seriously considering whether to accept Lu Ling and Lu Yao as his lovers and have them by his side, just like they were.

Yu Zhe hadn't thought this way before, but after asking himself honestly, he realized that he didn't have the same feelings for these two sisters as he did for Zi Xiao and the others. So if he forced them to accept him, he would definitely neglect them in the future and make them suffer.

But in the last few days, perhaps there was an element of self-deception involved? Yu Zhe wasn't sure, but judging from the results, he felt that... he might have really been moved by Lu Ling and Lu Yao's efforts.

Yes, it is true that Yu Zhe saved Lu Ling and Lu Yao's lives when they were children.

A life-saving grace sounds impressive, and many people may remember their savior for a lifetime. But if someone were to spend their entire life repaying a life-saving grace, probably 99.9% of people would be unwilling to do so.

But Lu Ling and Lu Yao... they are not only willing to dedicate their entire lives, but they are also working hard to become stronger, and are mentally prepared to be alone for life, as long as they can watch over Yu Zhe, it doesn't matter.

This made Yu Zhe feel...why did he deserve such a favor?

Little Lychee hadn't heard Yu Zhe's words clearly and was wondering about it.

She slowed down and walked to Yu Zhe's side, just in time to see that Yu Zhe seemed to be frowning and thinking about something.

She peeked out, her hands behind her back, and asked with concern.

"What's wrong with Brother Yuzhe? You walked to the bus stop...are you tired...?"

"No! What's so tiring about this?" Yu Zhe quickly denied. "Isn't it nice to take a walk once in a while? I was thinking about something else, don't worry about it."

"Ha... It's okay to think! But don't think about things with a gloomy face! Hmph, if you ask me, everything will work out in the end, so we just need to wait until we see the results before we act!"

"Pfft...you idiot, these two sentences are not meant to be used together at all."

"I know...! I just wanted to make Brother Yuzhe laugh, oh, you laughed!"

"I... wow, you're something else."

"Right!"

This is what makes the little lychee unique.

Yu Zhe very naturally... or perhaps it was beyond his control, put his arm around her waist and walked forward with her beside him.

The main thing is to tell you not to jump around! It's rare for you to wear such nice clothes, don't let them fall and tear before you even get to your grandma's house!

Little Lychee didn't resist at all, smiling and leaning against Yu Zhe like a little bird, constantly pointing out the ebb and flow of the tides on the distant coastline to Yu Zhe. Every change in nature seemed to be a source of happy conversation for Little Lychee.

The most meaningful thing for her was being able to make her brother Yuzhe feel more relaxed!

Yu Zhe's mind suddenly felt much clearer.

all will be good.

Should we release the hawk only after we've found the rabbit...?

This is one possible approach.

It's not that I can't accept Lu Ling and Lu Yao, but it will take me a little while.

If Yu Zhe's thoughts remain unchanged after this period of time, it would clearly indicate that Yu Zhe's current feelings are genuine liking, rather than "sympathy".

Then, let's have a grand welcome!

It's too early to say anything about this now.

Yu Zhe turned his head and rubbed his cheek against Xiao Lizhi's blonde hair, which smelled of shampoo. While soothing his mind and body, he slowly asked a question.

"By the way... what did you and Sister Zixiaoye buy at the supermarket just now? I only saw one bag, and that bag seemed quite big?"

"Snacks and desserts!"

"Anything besides snacks!"

All you know is desserts!

Little Lychee stuck out her tongue apologetically at the corner of her mouth, and then replied.

"It's a back cushion, a very soft and large one."

"A cushion?" Yu Zhe found it quite unusual. "Did Zi Xiao or Sister Ye buy it? I don't remember them using cushions?"
