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

"Huh...? What is brother saying...? I don't understand. How could I have read the note Lu Ling gave me..."

"Oh ho." Yu Zhe smiled and pointed out the key point directly, "The way this ribbon is tied, isn't that your habit when you button up your clothes? Since you re-tied the ribbon, does that mean you've already opened it and checked it?"

"..."

As expected... nothing can escape my brother's eyes.

Zixiao gave up struggling and told the whole story.

"Sigh... It's like this, at first I didn't know why Lu Ling gave me the note first, and then asked me to pass it on to my brother. But before she left, she told me that the reason she didn't give it directly to my brother was because she wanted me to read the contents of the note first, and she specifically mentioned that the contents were about feelings... something like a love letter. At first I didn't want to read it... after all, it's a private matter concerning feelings, but Lu Ling said I could read it first... and since it concerns my brother, I really couldn't resist..."

"I see."

Yu Zhe immediately understood Lu Ling's intention.

He glanced at the note in front of him and smiled meaningfully: "Zixiao, it's good that you opened it and read it first. Now Lu Ling and Lu Yao are relieved. They... intend to join us openly and honestly."

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is, I hope you can see the feelings they wrote to me, because that's how our relationship is now, isn't it? We don't hide anything from each other, cough... For example, if I wanted to do *that* with Xiaolizhi... I definitely wouldn't hide it from you, and Zixiao, you certainly won't resist like you used to..."

"I'm still very resistant!! You're not allowed to say you want to sleep with Xiaolizhi in front of me!!"

"..."

Okay, Yu Zhe has been thinking too rosy about the current situation.

Waaah, Zixiao is still so fierce!

In short, Lu Ling and Lu Yao's intention in doing this was to act "openly and aboveboard".

They wouldn't shy away from Zixiao and Yuche's gaze; in fact, they wanted their approval so they could walk openly and proudly beside Yuzhe.

This sounds simple, but in reality... it's not an easy thing to do.

Especially for Yu Che, Lu Ling and Lu Yao should know Yu Che's temper well. It was really quite difficult for them to bring this matter to the forefront.

Well... that courage deserves praise.

With a hint of anticipation, Yu Zhe untied the ribbon-bound paper and fixed his gaze on the delicate handwriting.

This must have been written by Lu Yao.

She may not be the best at expressing herself, but her handwriting is absolutely superb!

It could even be described as pleasing to the eye.

"Young Master, could you please come to the beach in front of the villa at 8:30 tonight? Xiaoling and I have something to say to you, and we also have a gift we would like to give you."

After reading the message, Yu Zhe carefully rolled up the note again and tied it back with a ribbon.

Yu Zhe had a premonition that this note would become a cherished and memorable piece of history.

Let's shift our gaze back to what's in front of us.

Zixiao pouted, her tone carrying a slight, barely perceptible hint of jealousy.

"Brother, after you finish listening to their conversation tonight, you should come home early."

"Yeah, don't worry, didn't I tell you, nothing will change~"

Yes, this decision will not change anything.

As for Lu Ling and Lu Yao, I want to give them true happiness, to let them know that there is so much beauty in this world besides protection.

For us, this only makes our lives more colorful.

..........

This cross-border journey has one last tourist destination.

That's what Yang Qiuyun had mentioned before: she wanted to take everyone to see the most iconic building in the vicinity—the cathedral.

Everyone had taken a nice afternoon nap, changed into comfortable clothes, and were eager to explore the city some more.

After all, this is the last stop on this trip, and with returning home tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be in a great mood!

Yang Qiuyun wore a sun hat. She had made ample preparations and researched a lot of information online. She was determined to be a qualified "tour guide" this time.

but...

We still haven't been able to set off.

Looking around, it was clear that almost everyone had arrived.

But Yu Che was the only one who didn't come out of the room for a long time.

Xiao Meng was quite confused: "That shouldn't be the case... After I woke up, I saw Yu Che watering the flowers on the balcony with a watering can. She probably went back to sleep and overslept..."

"Watering flowers on the balcony?!" Yu Zhe exclaimed in surprise!

This...this really shouldn't be happening!

To others, this might seem like a leisurely and enjoyable affair, but to Yu Zhe, it was quite a bad thing!

This is so strange! Yu Che has never grown flowers before, let alone watered them; that's not her style at all!

There must be a reason for anything unusual.

Yang Qiuyun also noticed this.

Just as she was about to gesture for Yuzhe to go and take a look...

Yu Che's room door creaked open.

Yu Che took small steps out from inside, rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, and looked as cute as a little white kitten.

Sure enough... this is very unusual.

Yu Che, who is usually one of the most enthusiastic about going out to play, is still wearing his pajamas!

Yun'er tentatively asked cautiously, "Yu Che... Sister? Didn't we agree to go out and play? Why... haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Yu Che slowly turned her head and answered quickly: "Hmm? Oh, you're going out? You guys go ahead, I'm not going, I'm too tired, I'll continue sleeping this afternoon."

Are you feeling unwell?

"No, I'm in great health and full of energy."

"?"

This completely stumped Yun'er.

If you let Yuche go out by herself, she will definitely say she's too lazy to go.

But... Brother Yu Zhe will be going too, and Sister Yu Che isn't sticking to him. This is so illogical!

Sister Yuche, are you sick?

However, Yu Che's next words completely dispelled Yun'er's concerns.

"Hmm... Although I'm not going, I hope one of you can stay home and keep me company. Sigh... I've been working so hard all this time, shouldn't I get some reward?"

Little Lychee asked bluntly, "...Sister Yuche? Do you want some snacks?"

"roll."

Waaaaah, I was just asking out of kindness, and I got yelled at again!

Actually, apart from Xiao Lizhi, everyone had already guessed what Yu Che meant...

—Leave one person behind.

Who can we keep?

It can only be Yu Zhe.

Keep Yu Zhe and give her some reward.

Moreover, Yu Che said that she is full of energy now, so it is self-evident why she stayed.

At this moment, Yu Che no longer wanted to wait.

Since you're all going out anyway, wouldn't it be perfect if I brought this moment forward?

With the house empty and just the two of us left, everything became much easier.

But Yu Che was self-aware; she knew that as the "official wife," she couldn't say this outright, so she wanted to express it in a slightly more tactful way.

It is enough.

Row!

Yang Qiuyun, I have received it completely!

My dear daughter, you've worked so hard to manage the company at home for so many years, and I know that. You've truly endured a lot.

So I'll help you fulfill your little wish!

Regardless of whether anyone understood or not, she simply pushed Little Lychee around and called for everyone to leave.

"Come on! If Yuche doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to! We'll go ourselves. Oh dear, what a spoilsport! She just said she didn't want to go, and now she doesn't want to go! If she doesn't want to go, we'll go! Ah, Yuzhe, you'll have to stay home and take care of Yuche. See if she's feeling unwell. Okay, okay, that's settled then. You two stay home and behave yourselves! We're off!"

Surprisingly, everyone was quite cooperative.

Yang Qiuyun only needed to keep the silly little lychee in check to successfully lead them out of the villa.

He quickly closed the door frame, locked the door from the outside, and then took them to visit the church.

Yu Zhe stayed on his own initiative.

He was already fully aware of the situation, quite clearly.

And they were prepared for it.

This realization had long been firmly established in Yu Zhe's heart.

And now.

This huge seaside villa is completely empty.

Only Yu Zhe and Yu Che remained.

63. Shall we rein in our supernatural powers?

Only Yu Zhe and Yu Che remained in the entire seaside villa.

After confirming that the door frame was closed tightly, Yu Zhe then pulled the balcony curtains shut.
