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

Xiao Meng gently patted her cheeks with both hands, shook her head, and said.

"Forget it. This was an unexpected event. If Xue'er hadn't been sick, you wouldn't have come. In fact, you had a prior appointment with Zixiao and the others. What kind of logic is it for me to hog you here?"

"But..."

"No buts. If you think this isn't good, then in a few days, make sure you come over when you don't have any plans with them! Then you can hold me and sleep without any worries. That's what a good sleep is like! Like now, even if I fall asleep, I'm sure I'll dream about Zixiao and Lingyun chasing and beating me! I don't want that!"

"Hahaha, what a strange dream that was!" Yu Zhe was amused by her playful remark.

Xiao Meng playfully punched Yu Zhe's small chest with her little fists and laughed.

"So, to avoid having nightmares, hurry back! If I have this nightmare and you're protecting Zi Xiaolingyun in my dream, I'll be furious!"

"That's quite a metaphor... Haha, okay, Xiaomeng, thank you."

"Thank you...what are you thanking me for? This is perfectly normal..."

There's no need to say more.

Xiao Meng's kindness and understanding warmed Yu Zhe's heart.

Before getting dressed to go home, he hugged Xiaomeng affectionately and kissed her on the forehead.

"Xiaomeng, you can write this down for me, okay? In a few days... I'll definitely come over and make sure you get a good night's sleep without nightmares."

"You keep your word?"

"count!"

"Let's make this clear first: next time, there's something you absolutely must not do!"

"Um... tell me?"

"Next time, don't tie my hair into pigtails when I'm not fully conscious! My hair roots are still hurting..."

"okay!"

Hey, you know, you don't necessarily need both hands to control the direction.

Even a single ponytail has its own soul!

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

That evening, Yu Zhe kept all his promises as agreed.

When Zixiao and Yun'er returned to their apartment from Xiaomeng's house, they were both pleasantly surprised and happy. They had thought that Yuzhe was too busy with Xiaomeng today and wouldn't keep his promise.

Yu Che had already arrived at the apartment, wanting to have dinner together.

No, it's already 10 o'clock and you're still waiting for me to eat? That's a bit too much!

Last night after dinner, this is what happened to Yu Zhe.

First, while Zixiao and Yuche were taking turns to take a shower, Yuzhe went to Yun'er's room and secretly satisfied her desires.

Although it was just a small umbrella, it was enough. For Yun'er, who had been waiting for rain for so long, it was more than enough for her to have a good night's sleep.

Then, Yu Che's arrival was unexpected. She wasn't originally part of today's battle plan, but after taking a shower, she repeatedly sat on Yu Zhe's lap, hinting at wanting a hug or a kiss...

No, this is explicit.

Yu Zhe could not ignore this obvious indication.

Yu Che was relatively easy to talk to. Yu Zhe went back to his room first, and after Yu Che bounced over to sleep together, Yu Zhe explained to her the agreement he had made with Zi Xiao that day.

Yu Che readily agreed! She said that she wanted the same amount of water as Yu Zhe and Yun'er when she was taking a shower!

However... when he heard that there would only be one chance, Yu Che couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Mo Lingyun, Mo Lingyun, I gave you a chance but you failed!

But... once a promise has been made, it must be kept.

Fortunately, Yu Zhe had just finished dealing with Xiao Meng, and his skills were still on fire when it came to dealing with lolis.

So even if it was just once, Yu Che fell asleep peacefully after letting out a yelp.

When Yu Zhe arrived at Zi Xiao's room as promised...

"Uh... Brother? Are you alright? You look pale... and you're out of breath..."

Of course! I had to overcome many obstacles to get here!

"Phew... Zixiao, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"A real man is one who keeps his promises no matter when or how difficult the situation."

"Although I don't know what happened... but brother, I support you!"

"Let's not talk about whether I support you or not. Tonight... please go easy on me, I'm not feeling well."

"Yes, definitely!"

"..."

Although you said you would definitely go easy on him...

But Yu Zhe looked up and saw a crimson light in Zi Xiao's eyes.

He knew tonight was going to be tough.

Therefore, it is important to be cautious when making agreements.

Planning the battle agenda is extremely important!!

And so.

Even after a whole night of fighting, the sun will still rise as usual.

When Yu Zhe's hazy vision was illuminated by the sunlight.

He then remembered that today was a rather special day.

Nowadays.

It's the day the college entrance exam results are released.

13. When one's name is listed on the honor roll?

"Brother Yuzhe? What are you doing, hehe!"

"What the heck...! Are you trying to kill me?! Yun'er, it's early in the morning, time for some harmony!"

Wow... Yu Zhe is really impressed.

He was just on the balcony, gazing at the distant scenery and contemplating life.

Without saying a word, Yun'er pounced on him from behind!

Yu Zhe stumbled forward before managing to regain his balance.

I can't even catch you normally, and last night's battle drained my energy. You're practically trying to kill my fragile life...

After hearing Yu Zhe's words, Mo Lingyun pinched the smooth fabric of her sheer nightgown with her fingers and stood still.

Her heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Yu Zhe, conveying a vivid meaning; without uttering a word, her gaze spoke volumes to Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe sighed and gave a wry smile: "Sigh... Fine, a morning hug, right?"

"Mmm! Hug me~"

The morning sunlight was already warm and gentle enough.

But no matter how gentle it is, it can't compare to the direct warmth of my Yun'er.

Yu Zhe naturally spread his arms and embraced Yun'er on the balcony, who did the same, as they felt the morning sunlight together.

This is a tacit understanding that the two developed after returning to China. Every morning, Yun'er would ask Yu Zhe for a hug.

—It is the source of her joy throughout the day.

After the two slowly went from embracing to leaning on each other's shoulders, Yun'er finally dared to speak.

"Are Zixiao and Sister Yuche still not awake?"

"What time do you think it is? Maybe... just past five? You got up too early."

"If we don't get up early, by the time they wake up, the loving hugs will be ruined."

"Nonsense..."

Yu Zhe may have been sharp-tongued, but his expression couldn't hide his doting affection.

"Let me guess." Yun'er playfully twirled her long, slender fingers in the air. "Brother Yuzhe is up so early, there must be a reason. If it's not just to soak up the sun, then it must be something he cares about a lot, right? And what important thing is it today... hmm?"

"Don't pretend you don't know. You know perfectly well that today is the day your college entrance exam results will be released at eight o'clock."

"And also, Ruoke and Xiaomeng's grades~"

"Take care of yourself first!"

Yu Zhe held back his strength and tapped Yun'er's head with a chopstick.

She pretended to be in pain from the tap, playfully sticking out her tongue: "Hehehe, actually I'm fine... not too nervous. But Yu Zhe, were you... praying just now?"

Mo Lingyun felt that she hadn't misjudged when she pounced on her.

Brother Yu Zhe was clasping his hands together and silently chanting something to the sky.

When this was mentioned, Yu Zhe scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Well, this... better safe than sorry... I just wanted to pray for you guys so you could get a few more points... Okay, this is a bit stupid."

stupid?

Yun'er doesn't think so.

One could also discern her current state of mind from the glimmering light in Mo Lingyun's eyes.

"Brother Yuzhe".

"Ok?"

"Yun'er loves you."

"You...! How many times have I told you! You're not allowed to confess your feelings out of the blue!"
