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

The living room suddenly went dark.

It goes without saying what's appropriate to do in this atmosphere.

Yu Zhe turned around and walked towards Yu Che at a much slower pace than usual.

Yu Zhe walked more slowly than usual because he understood what was going to happen next.

Yu Che understood even better.

She had waited too long, longed for too long.

Yu Che was just being arrogant, but now that it was just her and Yu Zhe left, she surprisingly became a little shy.

A blush had already crept onto her face, her delicate fingers were interlaced, and her head was rapidly heating up.

Looking at her, Yu Zhe felt a pang of nostalgia.

You used to show this nervousness in front of me a lot when you were little too!

No matter how strong a person becomes, their truest self will naturally show up at crucial moments.

Silly girl... are you that excited?

That's for sure!

Yu Che had no idea how many years she had waited for this day. It was as if this happiness could suddenly be frozen in time before her eyes... How could she not be excited!

Yu Che didn't need to say anything more.

As always, Yu Zhe will act as a shield for her, taking the initiative to extend this "invitation".

Yu Zhe supported himself

She swayed her waist, rolled her eyes, and deliberately feigned surprise.

"Oh my...? Yu Che, isn't it a coincidence? I felt sore back when I woke up this morning, but after just one morning and one afternoon, my back feels like it's all gone?!"

"Mmm...hug."

Yu Che understood what Yu Zhe meant.

She wanted to listen to Yu Zhe's heartbeat first, so that she could be fully prepared herself.

Yu Che obediently hugged Yu Zhe, pressing her ear against his chest, just like when she usually acted coquettishly, so clingy.

Yu Zhe also stretched out his arms, his fingers threading through the gaps in Yu Che's silver hair, and gently patted her back.

The quiet of this afternoon is like time standing still, a pleasure to behold.

They hugged for several minutes before Yu Che nuzzled her cheek against Yu Zhe's chest and asked a question that seemed somewhat inappropriate.

"By the way...brother, do you know why I like seeing you in women's clothing?"

"..."

Yu Che, I'm holding you and feeling the sunshine in my heart, can you please not suddenly pour downpour on me!

But Yu Zhe still responded to her.

Yu Zhe smiled faintly, his tone somewhat joking, but full of boundless tolerance and gentleness.

"You don't know...? You little brat, aren't you just trying to tease me? You know I'm especially embarrassed by cross-dressing, and you want to see how flustered I am when I wear women's clothes?"

"I'm not as bad as my brother thinks... Please listen to me..."

Yu Che's grip on Yu Zhe's clothes tightened a little.

Her deep blue eyes shimmered with light and shadow, as if transcending time and space, reminiscing about her vulnerable self from childhood.

"Brother, do you remember... the first time you wore women's clothes?"

"First time... crossdressing?"

It took Yu Zhe quite a bit of effort to recall the scene of his first time dressed as a woman.

Because I have an instinctive aversion to women's clothing... but I remembered it eventually.

"Hmm... I remember, you couldn't make any friends in elementary school, and your classmates ostracized you. So I wore your school uniform, pretended to be you, and went to your school to help you improve your interpersonal relationships."

"Yes, so brother... now you understand why I wanted to see you in women's clothing?"

"what..."

It was as if a broken string in Yu Zhe's mind had been reconnected.

He always thought that Yu Che liked his women's clothing simply because she thought it looked good.

But... unexpectedly, the reason was much deeper than he had imagined.

Yu Che slowly raised her head against Yu Zhe's chest. The endless tenderness in her eyes, combined with the protective smile Yu Zhe had been giving her on her small face, was more pleasing to the eye and clearer than the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

"My brother always says... that wearing women's clothes makes you lack masculinity, but... in my heart, the first time my brother wore women's clothes, his masculinity was truly the best in the world... he was my... Yu Che's hero."

"Yu Che... Waaah..."

Yu Zhe's nose felt a little sore.

He was rarely told he was manly or anything like that, even though Yu Che and Zi Xiao kept saying it, Yu Zhe felt they were just trying to comfort him.

But this time... Yu Che's words were so convincing. Yu Zhe had never felt that he was such a man, such a pillar of strength.

Although, the fact that this matter is still related to cross-dressing is really annoying!!

I'm annoyed as much as I am.

But now.

It's time to "enjoy" it.

"Yu Che".

"Ok?"

"What time is it now?"

"2:30 PM..."

"You guys won't be back before dinner tonight, okay?"

"Hmph... I hope they're smart enough to come back later."

"So...what do we do now..."

"Um...!"

It was just an ordinary conversation.

But when Yu Zhe looked down again, he noticed...

Yu Che cried.

Tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her lovely, delicate face.

"Yu Che?"

"It's been so hard... Waaah... Finally... I can stop waiting! I don't have to wait anymore! I... Huh?"

Okay, I won't wait any longer.

Yu Zhe has waited for far too long.

Yu Zhe used his left hand to wipe away Yu Che's tears, while using his right hand to support her chin and kiss her lips deeply.

Even if he kisses her until she can't breathe, Yu Zhe won't let go this time...

When Yu Che let out a soft moan, Yu Zhe knew.

Everything... can begin.

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

Zixiao and the others got home really late.

This is quite late—meaning deliberately late.

Visiting the cathedral, walking around the building, listening to the major historical events, and experiencing the cultural heritage—it's really not that complicated, and doesn't take too much time.

The tour was completed at 6:30 p.m., before it was completely dark.

Not to mention, their minds weren't even on admiring the church.

The church is sacred, but people's thoughts are not so sacred.

Waaah... Are Yu Zhe and Yu Che really going to have a big fight?

How long will it last?

How is Yu Zhe's back?

Who will win and who will lose?

When can I...?

In short, similar questions linger in everyone's minds, and there's an unspoken understanding between them.

But! Even though they were very curious, no one made a fuss about going home early.

The home is now reserved for Yuche to do her best, and she should not be disturbed by anyone.

So, what should have been a meal that took an hour to finish at the restaurant was stretched out by the girls.

It was past 10 p.m.

Of course, Yang Qiuyun didn't let them be idle either. She brought a board of Ludo and a board of Chinese chess from home to help them pass the time.

Xinye and Yun'er can play chess, while Xiaolizhi can play Ludo.

It was almost 11 a.m. when I got home.

Zixiao stood at the entrance of the seaside villa, feeling an indescribable nervousness.

She swallowed.

Hmm... Yu Che has been quite aggressive these past two days. If she really lets herself unleash her full potential, can her brother handle it...?

Oh dear brother, you must take good care of your back!

Yang Qiuyun was so understanding.
