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

How do you still remember?

Yes, Yu Zhe used the simplest and most brutal method to wake them up from inside the sack so they could escape together.

That means one resounding slap to each of them!

Lu Yao's eyes, which used to be as calm as still water, now seemed to flash with a faint light.

That was a precious light etched deep in her memory.

Lu Yao tried her best to make the sentence as coherent as possible.

"Young Master slapped me...that's good...Nobody ever talked to me before...it was so sad. Young Master's eyes...he cares about me..."

Oh, I see.

Even Lu Ling, who knew her well, probably didn't understand what she was saying.

However, Yu Zhe just happened to understand.

Because some information is transmitted directly from the eyes to the heart.

Back then, the children ostracized Lu Yao because of her speech impediment and eccentric personality; for her, having friends was a luxury.

But on that day, when Yu Zhe went to save her, his eyes were filled with pure, unadulterated conviction that he wanted to save someone.

Since it's about salvation, one must be very concerned about the people they are saving at that moment.

Lu Yao found redemption in Yu Zhe's eyes.

At this moment, Yu Zhe saw the same thing in Lu Yao's eyes.

I paid with two slaps, but gained two loves. Was it a good deal?

—A huge profit.

30. The Land of Memories and a New Promise

It was only then that Yu Zhe realized that the abandoned warehouse was not as dark as he had imagined.

Perhaps my vision has finally adapted to this environment?

This was confirmed when Yu Zhe asked Lu Ling and Lu Yao to turn off their phone flashlights.

Starlight and moonlight would seep in through the open warehouse door and the dilapidated iron windows, though not as noticeable as the beam of a flashlight.

But it should be much gentler.

The moonlight focused on the large stone pillar.

Yu Zhe, however, suddenly found himself in a leisurely mood, silently taking a few steps forward and sitting down against the stone pillar.

He sat there without a care in the world, oblivious to the dusty ground beneath him.

Squinting, you can hear crickets chirping in the grass outside the warehouse.

Experiencing it this way... feels like returning to the comfort of childhood.

Hmm... no, Yu Zhe's childhood wasn't as happy as that, to the point of being extravagant.

When I was a child, there were crickets; now, I have a beautiful woman by my side.

Beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right.

Lu Ling and Lu Yao followed Yu Zhe's lead and sat down on either side of him.

The three leaned on each other, a sentiment only they could understand, a memory of the sacred place, of precious time.

And so it remained for a long time.

Yu Zhe suddenly noticed that the pressure on his sides had suddenly lightened.

When Yu Zhe opened his eyes, he found that Lu Ling and Lu Yao were both half-squatting in front of him, staring at him with almost identical eyes.

That deep affection seemed to want Yu Zhe to stay with them until dawn.

But there was another meaning in their eyes: they were incredibly sensible and adorable.

Yu Zhe wouldn't let them say those words, so he chose to say them himself.

"Should we go back now?" Yu Zhe picked up two strands of her silver hair and held them in front of her, then playfully bumped her two little white shoes together at the ends of her long legs. "It's probably getting late. If we don't go back soon, Zi Xiao will start nagging me again. I also promised to buy osmanthus cake for Yun'er. Hmm... let's go!"

Yu Zhe is saying that when he's feeling lazy, he's extremely lazy.

But when it comes to taking action, they are swift and decisive.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, and with a slightly awkward roll, stood up with his back to Lu Ling and Lu Yao.

Lu Ling admired the young master so much because of this.

The young master can always read people's minds, just like the moonlight that shines down on earth, illuminating everyone's heart.

She was just thinking that if she didn't go back soon, the young ladies would start to get anxious.

But I don't want to say it so soon, because if I do, this wonderful date will come to an end...

Therefore, the young master can speak out himself and cut off this hesitation, which is also a great act of tenderness.

But... it really is time to go back. I feel like I haven't had enough...

Who knew?

After Yu Zhe stood up with his back to the two of them, he did not immediately start to leave.

Instead, he slowly turned his head halfway back and lightly touched the corner of his mouth with his finger.

They seemed to be pondering something, or perhaps they had already thought something out, waiting for the two people to react.

But all Lu Ling and Lu Yao could see was the young master's adorable actions, a perfect blend of ethereal elegance and unparalleled cuteness!

The young master touched the corner of his mouth with his finger, regretting that he didn't take a picture earlier!

So the two sisters could only tilt their heads in opposite directions, expressing their confusion.

Yu Zhe's hand paused for a moment.

Sigh...you can't really blame them.

On a first date, you definitely don't know the right way to start.

Yu Zhe had a thorough understanding of the important and essential things to do during a date because he used to occasionally draw comics related to romance.

Coincidentally, Yu Zhe wasn't one to give hints anyway.

If you don't understand the hints, then just be direct!

This time, Yu Zhe completely

He turned around, put his hands behind his back naturally, tilted his head back, and looked up at the warehouse ceiling at an angle. This was his way of trying to hide the shame he felt while speaking!

"Ahem...you two...if there's one thing you don't do at the end of this date, then it won't be a proper ending, right? Besides...it's the same for me, it's my first date with you two, so it has to be complete...?"

"This... please enlighten me, young master!!"

Lu Ling became panicked. She knew that she and her sister were both simple-minded, and there would definitely be things on the date that would displease the young master!

However... since the date was only arranged in the afternoon, there simply wasn't enough time to do any research.

Lu Ling usually appears calm and reliable, but when she has anxieties or doesn't understand something, she's just like any other younger sister—she immediately wants to rely on her older sister.

This time was no exception. She didn't understand, so she subconsciously turned to Lu Yao for help!

Even though my sister doesn't understand anything, she still brings me some comfort and lets me know that I'm not the only one who's clueless!

Who knew...

As Lu Ling turned her head away.

Lu Ling was stunned.

Lu Yao's figure had already traced a graceful arc in place.

The endpoint of this arc is Yu Zhe on the other side.

Specifically... it's Yu Zhe's lips.

Her arrival was sudden, but it was exactly what Yu Zhe had in mind, so Yu Zhe was naturally prepared and caught her.

Then... Lu Ling saw a scene that seemed to belong only in a dream.

My sister actually... without saying a word, immediately started kissing the young master!

You...you...you ran away!

Actually, this doesn't count as sneaking out, does it?

Lu Yao dared to do this because... the young master had already agreed.

Although she, like Lu Ling, couldn't accurately grasp the young master's hints, some things don't need to be understood.

She recalled the past, looked into the young master's eyes, and listened to his sweet and tingling words.

She had that impulse.

Perhaps those who are simple-minded tend to be simple in their actions.

Lu Ling felt a pang of sadness...

She stood there, unsure whether to retreat or move forward.

My sister and the young master... are kissing so passionately under the bright moonlight, what should I do?

Suddenly, Lu Ling felt excluded.

But that feeling—was gone in the next moment.

Because Lu Yao and Yu Zhe have temporarily stopped kissing.

Their cheeks were flushed, but they still managed to suppress their impulses and stop.

Both of them were looking at Lu Ling.

At the same time, he reached out his hand.

"Lu Ling, you...together?"

"Aya...we can't be separated...you're so silly..."

I'm not stupid...
