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

The joy of achieving success and the joy of finding love were intertwined, causing Qin Ruoke to lose her composure and reveal a bewildered state to Yu Zhe that even she herself was unaware of.

This can truly be described as "the wedding night and the moment of passing the imperial examination"!

Ugh, thinking about it now is so embarrassing!!

Yu Zhe saw that she had buried herself like an ostrich.

With a mischievous grin, he snuggled closer to the blanket and whispered softly into the room.

"Little Ruoke, you were really great just now!"

"Stop talking!!"

19. I won't do it again next time!

This happened the day after the college entrance exam results were released.

Yu Zhe still couldn't hear the birds chirping in the morning.

He slept on the bed until who knows what time it was, but he definitely missed lunch.

During this time, Zixiao tried several times to wake him up to eat, but Yuzhe always replied, "Sleep for five more minutes."

—Five minutes refers to five hours.

Finally, at 12:30 PM, Yu Zhe rubbed his sleepy eyes, his silver hair and ahoge (a stray hair) disheveled from sleep...

He rolled over.

Zixiao happened to walk over and saw this scene, feeling quite helpless.

There are also obvious concerns.

"Brother... are you feeling unwell? You don't usually stay in bed this long..."

Yu Zhe buried his head in his soft velvet pillow, his pleasant voice mixed with a hint of muffled hum and languor.

"No... Zixiao, you have to understand... there are always a few days a year when people are a bit lazy... spring drowsiness, summer fatigue, autumn lethargy, winter hibernation, the three months of winter when you can't wake up, the three months of spring when you can't wake up, fatigue is a constant companion... phew... just five more minutes of sleep..."

"What kind of nonsense is that...! Don't go back to sleep!"

Zixiao immediately snatched his pillow!

Go back to sleep! I'm going to sleep from last night until tonight!

Without the pillow's protection, Yu Zhe could only pitifully turn over again.

He looked up, blinking his sleepy eyes, staring at Zixiao.

My dear sister...you won't even let me sleep for five more minutes!

Is that all it takes five minutes...?

Zixiao's mind raced, and she decided to voice her earlier speculation about whether or not to say it.

"Brother, please don't blame me for nagging... After you came back from Senior Sister Qin's place yesterday, did you get a proper nap and rest?"

"Yes...yes? Haha...didn't you specifically tell me? How could I not..."

"Brother, tell me the truth, otherwise I won't talk to you for the next ten minutes."

Waaah, her threats really broke my heart!

Yu Zhe had no choice but to lie down and confess: "Okay... I haven't been able to sleep since I got back yesterday... I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I slept all morning with Xiao Ruo Ke, so I've had enough sleep."

"Yes. And there's still a lot of work at the company... even my mom said she's too busy, so I've been helping out a bit... Ah! But don't worry, I finished the spreadsheet by 3 pm yesterday!"

"So? What happened after 3 o'clock? Did you get a good rest?"

"No... I still have new anime series to watch..."

"Brother!! How could you do this!!"

"sorry!!"

Yu Zhe immediately knelt on the bed and apologized frantically!

Look how angry Zixiao is, she's about to explode!

How could Zixiao not be angry!

What my brother did at Qin Ruoke's house yesterday at noon is perfectly clear to everyone.

When Yuzhe returned home at noon, his eyelids were drooping, but he looked radiant, as if he had won some epic battle.

Zi Xiaoyun and Yu Che both saw through it but didn't say anything. The only thing they could say was to tell him to take a hot bath and then rest in bed.

Cough... The three of them were also Qin Ruoke's accomplices. If the three of them hadn't given Yu Zhe several rounds of relentless questioning last night, Yu Zhe wouldn't have been so exhausted when he came back at noon.

Four consecutive high-intensity battles would take a toll even the strongest person.

If you can't take it, then you need to rest.

But you don't rest!

Zixiao huffed, "Brother, listen carefully... if you keep ignoring my advice, I'll..."

"You...?"

"I'll seal that little box away for now!!"

"!"

What determination!

When Zixiao said these words, she was gritting her teeth. It took a lot of determination and courage to make such a decision!

The small box she was referring to was "everyone's happiness."

Well... it's nothing fancy, just a small box of chewing gum that I always keep in my apartment.

Once this box is sealed, Zixiao and Yun'er will have no way to sneak up at night again!

Zixiao is ruthless; she actually wants to drag Yun'er down with her!

Yu Zhe isn't ignorant, and he doesn't want things to escalate to the point where he has to forcibly control his desires.

So, Yu Zhe raised his hand and made a promise!

"Understood! I'll give you another chance. Next time, if this happens again, Zixiao, you can supervise my rest. If I still act recklessly and do whatever I want, I'll take responsibility. Guarantor: Su Yuzhe!"

"Hmm... there's no need to be so formal..."

Well, that's fine too.

From the night before last to last night, everyone living in the apartment took turns getting their share of the "public food" (a form of rations), which is fair, I guess... As long as we control the intensity next time, sustainable output shouldn't be a problem!

Just as Zixiao was about to end the conversation and bring Yuzhe a change of pajamas...

There was a knock on Yu Zhe's door.

Zixiao got up and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was Yun'er.

Her condition was somewhat different from usual.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, his gaze darting around, and his slippers kept rubbing against the ground.

Zixiao frowned: "Lingyun, what's wrong?"

"Zixiao...I...I'm here to apologize to Brother Yuzhe..."

"apologize?"

While Zixiao went to open the door, Yuzhe originally wanted to lie on his pillow for another ten or twenty seconds.

But upon hearing the conversation over there, he suddenly perked up his ears!

Sleepiness vanished instantly!

He knew what Yun'er was going to say, and if she said it, things would be terrible!

They wanted to turn things around and stop it!

But stopping someone from speaking will never be faster than the person speaking.

“Yun…!”

"Brother Yuzhe, I'm so sorry!! You're so tired today because of me! Yun'er will definitely not do it again next time!"

"..."

Row.

She has finished speaking.

Yu Zhe chose to lie back down on the pillow.

I'll try to lie down a little longer... otherwise I'll have to start apologizing again.

Zixiao was greatly puzzled after hearing this: "You mean... Brother was so tired today because of you? What kind of logic is that? Don't you know that Brother went to Qin yesterday at noon... um, you understand, right?"

"It's not just that..."

If it were any other time, Yun'er would have used her devilish wit to gloss over it.

But... Brother Yuzhe was listless all morning and didn't even want to get out of bed. How could Yun'er not feel guilty?

Therefore, Mo Lingyun chose to reflect on her own actions.

"It's all my fault... I knew Yuzhe was very tired yesterday, but I still couldn't resist sneaking over last night... and asking Yuzhe... until 2 a.m. I know I was wrong, Zixiao! You have to keep an eye on me next time!"

"..."

Oh.

Wait, let me sort out this line of thought first.

The conclusion just now is that my brother went through a total of four rounds of intense competition yesterday.

However, based on what Yun'er just said, this series of matches is not four matches.

It's five games!

You sneaked over and ate there in the early hours of yesterday morning, didn't you?!

Yun'er bowed her head and apologized, but Zi Xiao did not react.

Yun'er closed one eye and carefully looked up. She saw that Zi Xiao's black bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.
