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

She was right. Yu Zhe pushed open the door and stepped out, and what came into view was this dreamlike flower field.

Separated by a row of simple, unadorned fences.

Ahead lies a spacious European-style courtyard with tables and chairs neatly arranged.

Further ahead from the courtyard, and behind the fence, lies a sea of ​​flowers in various colors and whose names I don't know.

Two rows of lamps in the yard illuminated the flower field, but even without the lamps, the moonlight would have been sufficient.

Since arriving in Klomer, Yuzhe has witnessed many fairytale-like scenes; this quiet little town truly holds countless surprises.

The beauty of this sea of ​​flowers has nothing to do with location; it is the beauty of the human heart that nurtures the flower field through the careful care of its owner.

Little Lychee was initially dejected after Yu Zhe saw all sorts of embarrassing photos of her from her childhood.

But when she stepped out from behind Yu Zhe and saw this beautiful scenery, all her unhappiness vanished instantly!

"It's...it's exactly the same as before! No, there seem to be even more flowers now?"

"They probably expanded it again," Yu Zhe pointed to the far end of the yard. "The fence over there is noticeably newer than this one. Hmm... older people probably like to take care of flowers and plants. Grandma and Grandpa were able to cultivate such a flower field; they are indeed very meticulous people..."

"Yes! They are truly remarkable people."

"Ha, because they won't hit you on the head?"

"No, no! Ah...that's one aspect too." Little Lychee put her hands behind her back, walked around to Yu Zhe, tilted her head and smiled, "I've always respected them since I was little, because they're very tolerant, very...easy to talk to?"

It seems that Xiaolizhi wanted to express something, but she couldn't find the right words to put it into words.

Yu Zhe came up with a solution for her: "Easy to talk to? I don't quite understand. Can you give me an example?"

"An example... um..."

Little Lychee's dull brain was working hard.

The way she puts her finger to the corner of her mouth and taps it little by little when she's thinking is really quite cute.

Not long after, she opened her eyes slightly and revealed a satisfied smile as if she had come up with a good example.

"The thing that impressed me the most was the story my mother told me about how she was able to marry into Fenghai City."

Yu Zhe walked ahead, looking around and admiring the flowers and gardens. He was quite interested in what Xiao Lizhi was talking about.

"Aunt Elisa? I remember that at first, my mother's family had business dealings here, and they became friends. Later, Aunt Elisa went to Fenghai City to study with my mother. So, her encounter with your father must have been at school?"

"Yeah! My dad was the student council president back then!"

"Huh?! I didn't expect that. Speaking of which, you're the student council president now, and the position is actually passed down from generation to generation?"

"Hehehe, I can't compare to my dad. He got selected based on his own merit, while I seem to have been... completely pushed into it by my classmates..."

"Don't belittle yourself, you've made great progress. Let's not talk about that for now, what did you say about Aunt Elisa again?"

"That's when Mom met her love."

Little Lychee stepped forward in her high heels, the soles striking the thick, flat pavement with a crisp, clear sound.

She held down her skirt, squatted down in front of the flower field, and gently poked the flowers with her finger, swaying her head like a little flower herself.

Yu Zhe followed her and squatted down beside her to continue listening to her story.

“Mom fell in love with Dad, and Dad also really liked Mom. After they graduated from high school, they secretly decided to apply to the same university and then got together. But... Mom said that Dad was just an ordinary student at that time, and even a little poor. Mom's biggest worry at the time was that if she told her family about it, Grandpa would not agree.”

"Ah...that's true. Nobody wants their daughter to suffer, especially since...your maternal grandfather's family is quite well-off."

Needless to say, just from the expensive furniture I saw in the inner room and the exquisite details of the courtyard, it's clear that Aunt Elisa's family is indeed a traditional aristocratic family in this area.

The name "[name]" truly reflects their substantial family wealth.

"And then? What happened next?" Yu Zhe continued to ask.

"Later... Mom said that she told Grandpa about it before graduating from college. Grandpa said that if the two of them truly loved each other, then it was possible, but Dad had to move to Klomer."

"..."

This... it's not that it's excessive, it's actually quite normal.

It's not uncommon for the woman's parents to suggest that the man marry into the woman's family if the man's circumstances are far inferior to the woman's.

Rather, the fact that Grandpa agreed to let them date was already quite understanding and open-minded.

"But...in the end, didn't Aunt Elisa settle down in Fenghai City?"

"Yes! That's why I said my grandparents were so tolerant!"

Little Lychee grabbed Yu Zhe's arm.

She was talking about something happy, and her desire to share her joy made her movements exaggerated in sync with her mood.

"..."

The two were squatting side by side on the ground.

Yu Zhe's arm followed the curves of Xiao Lizhi's body, from her smooth neck, through the fabric between her chest, and his fingers finally landed on the hem of her skirt.

The movements were a bit stiff...

But never mind... Little Lychee is having a good time, so let's not interrupt her.

"Listen to me, Brother Yuzhe! I heard my dad was so brave back then! After graduating from university, he brought my mom all the way here to find my grandpa. He told grandpa that he had a dream and a plan in Fenghai City, and that even if he had to start from scratch, he would give my mom the happiness she deserved and even more. He and my mom asked grandpa to let them settle down in Fenghai City together. Oh, just thinking about that scene must have been so romantic!"

"Wow, that's true. And then what? Their request was successful?"

"Yes, in the end, Grandpa not only agreed, but it seems he also gave Dad a lot of extra money to start his business! But Grandpa said that if Dad couldn't keep his promise, he would personally go to Fenghai City and break his legs! Pfft... Mom was so happy when she told me this. I could tell she was really happy."

"Uncle Ouyang is capable, a real man. His courage and responsibility are admirable qualities, but..."

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing."

Yu Zhe felt that during his conversation with his grandfather, although his grandfather was a bit naive, he was quite principled when it came to matters of principle.

In other words, he's quite stubborn.

Can such a person really be moved by a few words of verbal promise and send his only daughter to marry in a foreign country?

Just as Yu Zhe was puzzled and about to ask again, his grandfather walked into the backyard carrying a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

"Kids! What are you talking about? Come and eat some watermelon!"

"Oh! Watermelon! Brother Yuzhe, let's hurry!"

"You can be so greedy for watermelon...! Hey, okay, okay, don't pull me away!"

The allure of delicious food to Xiaolizhi is simply irresistible!

While eating watermelon, Yuzhe simply asked his grandfather about his earlier confusion.

Grandpa's expression froze.

Then, he slapped his thigh hard and said fiercely.

"Hmph! That brat Ouyang Yan! Yu Zhe, I don't even want to talk about him unless you mention him, just mentioning him makes me angry! The day he brought Sasha to beg me, did you think he came empty-handed?"

"Did you...bring a gift?"

"Oh, sorry, I really did come empty-handed."

"?"

"Hey no! I didn't mean whether he had anything in his hand or not. What I meant was, that kid had something on him that he used to threaten me!"

"?!"

Whether there's any dirt on him or not is another matter, but Grandpa, the way you talk is just as silly as Little Lychee!

Seeing that the two were listening attentively, Grandpa clapped his hands, shook his head helplessly, and gave a wry smile.

"At first I wanted to disagree, but that brat! When he came to beg me, Sasha was already pregnant with Lizhi. Tell me, how could I disagree? Sigh, but on the other hand, thankfully Ayan is indeed a good man, responsible and promising! Otherwise, I really would have broken his legs!"

"..."

Okay, I get it now.

Uncle Ouyang is truly a promising talent in the business world, capable of building the Ouyang family empire from scratch.

You're really good at this!

You know you can't just talk without some leverage, so you're acting first and asking questions later, right?

40. What time is it now?

Before Xiaolizhi could react, Yuzhe quickly pulled her to the other side of the garden with a wry smile and continued to admire the flowers.

Of course, the watermelon tray is also included.

Goodness... Grandpa, you're a bit too outspoken.

Little Lychee seems to admire her dad quite a bit, is it really okay for you to be so blunt?

Don't let this little fool's rare faith collapse!

"Wow, Brother Yuzhe, I suddenly realized that my dad's methods are a bit despicable, like acting first and asking questions later."

"..."

So you've already figured it out!

Yu Zhe was about to say something to make up for the image of Uncle Ouyang in her mind.

Little Lychee simply picked up a slice of watermelon and took a big, hearty bite.

"As expected of a father, he can even come up with such a wicked trick."

"Disillusionment?"

"No~ If Mom and Dad hadn't done that, I wouldn't exist! Yeah... if that had happened, I really wouldn't exist!"

Little Lychee's first sentence was just a joke, but after she said it, she seemed to realize that her joke was actually a reality, and belatedly showed a look of horror and surprise!

"Pfft... Hahahaha, Little Pear, why do I always feel like laughing when I'm with you?"

"possibly"

Do I have the potential to become a comedian?

"No way~ You? A comedian? You'd probably fall flat on your face the moment you stepped on stage. Performance art, huh?"
