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

"Ok?"

"What I'm trying to say is that being able to hold your hand like this and stroll together through the Qi Family Manor, without having to worry about what others might think or if anyone would try to stop us, is something I couldn't have imagined a few years ago."

Yu Zhe only pondered the meaning behind Sister Ye's words for a moment.

He understood.

And he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Back then, Sister Ye was studying at a university abroad."

"I was forced to go abroad. At that time, my great-grandfather was still in charge of the Qi family. He didn't even want me to appear in the country, so... thinking about it, given the circumstances at the time, it was even more of a pipe dream to want to meet you, Xiao Zhe."

"yes..."

Yu Zhe looked up at the distant horizon.

The time I brought down Qi Jiang and helped Uncle Qi Yi and Sister Ye regain control of the Qi family seems like it was just the last time... cough cough! More than half a year ago!

It was unclear whether it was willow catkins or Sister Ye's hair that gently brushed against Yu Zhe's cheek.

This was accompanied by Sister Ye's insightful and profound remark.

"These past six months... have seen such a big change. I think the best decision I've ever made in my life was giving up studying abroad and coming back from overseas to pursue my own destiny... Many years from now, I will definitely be incredibly grateful to my past self for this."

"Sister Ye~ Live in the moment, okay? We can worry about the future later. It's too late to talk about those things now."

"Good morning... Well, that makes sense. In the future, I'll definitely be grateful that I took down Qi Jiang so cleanly and decisively! If we had let him run rampant for a few more years, we might have had to wait much longer to achieve something like this."

"Yeah...that's how it is, all thanks to Xiao Zhe. Sigh..."

"Sister Ye?"

Why did you suddenly sigh?

Even though the wind was a bit noisy, Yu Zhe could clearly hear the light sigh.

Qi Xinye wasn't surprised when Yu Zhe asked her.

She turned around gracefully, her long hair swaying in the wind along with the willow branches in the same direction.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness, reflecting Yu Zhe's gentle and refined face.

"Xiao Zhe." Qi Xinye tilted her head slightly, a hint of helplessness in her voice, "Today... is our date, so I don't need to worry so much... about whether Zi Xiao and Yu Che will be unhappy if I make any requests..."

"Sister Ye, do you mean...?"

"After hearing you talk about the past just now, I couldn't hold back anymore... I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

"..."

Sister Ye spoke as lightly as possible, but with a hint of pleading.

It was as if she were making some kind of request that she felt was "unreasonable and unreasonable".

But... this is not just being unreasonable.

This is an extremely reasonable request, and it's also Yu Zhe's wish!

Yu Zhe quickly glanced around; there was definitely no one within a hundred meters of this place.

No, even if no one is around, Yu Zhe must still fulfill Sister Ye's request!

Yu Zhe held Qi Xinye's hand and slowly let go.

Instead, his left and right hands together lightly grasped her shoulders.

This action speaks volumes about what Yu Zhe will do next.

Qi Xinye nervously closed her eyes and slowly leaned her head forward, trying to match Yu Zhe's movements.

Oh dear... Sister Ye is peeking straight in.

Actually, the most suitable angle for kissing is when both people tilt their heads slightly at a certain angle.

But clearly, Sister Ye was unaware of this not-so-uncommon trivia.

She doesn't need to know.

What she didn't know, what she didn't understand... Yu Zhe just taught her little by little.

Yu Zhe moved his hands from Qi Xinye's shoulders to her back, gradually hugging her tighter.

As their heads drew closer, Yu Zhe turned his head, his silver hair spreading out along Qi Xinye's dress.

Soon... their lips met at the perfect angle.

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

The willow branches swayed, as if congratulating the young couple under the tree for their wish coming true.

A single, glistening tear had already seeped from the corner of Qi Xinye's closed eyes.

She dreamed of holding Xiao Zhe like this, with Xiao Zhe kissing her first, embracing everything about her and her longing.

As she said, this was a happiness she could never have imagined when she was forced to study at a university abroad and unable to return to China for the past two years.

She once thought that she might never have the chance to see Xiao Zhe, the smiling boy she longed for and remembered, again.

Who could have imagined such happiness today?

Yu Zhe kissed her for a long time, and only after hearing a sob in Ye Jie's throat did he gently...slowly release her.

I used the back of my hand to wipe away her tears.

Yu Zhe said with heartache.

"Sister Ye...why are you crying? Was I too abrupt...?"

"No..." Qi Xinye raised her hand and grasped Yu Zhe's hand, pressing it against her cheek. "Sister just... remembered a lot of things from the past, sob... Xiao Zhe, thank you so much for coming back to pick me up and for appearing when I needed you the most."

"Sister Ye, what are you talking about?" Yu Zhe tilted his head and smiled confidently. "Saving your own family, isn't that just the right thing to do!"

Qi Xinye couldn't stop her tears. She clearly felt responsible as the older sister. She had originally wanted to take the initiative to make things easier for Xiao Zhe during today's date, but... why was she crying now?

"It's okay... Sister Ye."

"Xiao Zhe..."

“When you’re tired or feeling down, you can rely on me as much as you want. Hmm... Zixiao and Yuche have both said this before. They said, ‘Who says that a younger sister has to rely on her older brother for everything? We can also be our older brother’s support.’ Now it seems that this statement is also applicable.”

Looking into Sister Ye's eyes, Yu Zhe said firmly, "Who says a younger brother has to depend on his older sister? Sister Ye, if you have any worries, just tell me!"

"puff..."

"Waaaaah!! Sister Ye! You can't laugh right now!!"

I just said something cool, and you're laughing right now? I'm so embarrassed!

Qi Xinye smiled happily.

She wiped away her tears and asked a question.

"Ha... Xiao Zhe, you just said I can confide in you freely, so now I'm going to push my luck and make a request. Can you agree to that?"

"Sister Ye, if you just say so, there's nothing I can't do!"

"Um..."

I'll be bold this time...

I want you to know that being an older sister means having authority.

Qi Xinye leaned forward quietly, right up to Yu Zhe's ear.

She spoke clearly and with full emotion, uttering words that sent shivers down Yu Zhe's spine.

"If you want to listen to your sister's story... go to bed."

"!"

This sentence.

Strong enough!

35. Celebration

You should know that before coming to the Qi Family Manor, Yu Zhe had already rested and recuperated for two and a half days!

This is because Zixiao made a rule last time, requiring Yuzhe and Yun'er to control their desires for a week and try to cleanse themselves.

My spiritual covenant.

Of course... that agreement also meant Zixiao would have to endure it for a week, which was a self-destructive move.

Today, we benefit from this.

Only then can Yu Zhe be in full of energy to welcome his true reunion with Sister Ye after so many years!

We've had our share of fun in bed, but today, Yu Zhe isn't going to back down!

but...

"Sister Ye? Isn't your room on the east side? Why are we heading west?"

Qi Xinye walked slightly ahead, holding Yu Zhe's hand. Upon hearing this, she turned around, her gentle smile revealing a blush rarely seen on Sister Ye's face.

Even though she herself was shy and nervous about what was about to happen.

But even though she was already fully immersed in the moment, she didn't forget to deliberately lower her pace and get closer to Yu Zhe. (Monthly membership group 694936135)

"What... Xiao Zhe, can't wait any longer?"

"Hiss...No! I can at least...at least wait another ten minutes!"

"But your sister can't wait even a minute longer...? You'll find out soon enough. Look, let's go over there now, there... there's a 'flower field' that I specially prepared for you, Xiao Zhe."

"Huh?"

Yu Zhe was just blinded by Sister Ye's charming words.

None of them immediately realized... which direction they were heading.

I glanced up and found myself surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers.

It was Yu Zhe and Qi Xinye, a sea of ​​flowers even more dazzling than in my memory... no, even more dazzling than in my memory.

This is the place where the two of them cherished their most precious childhood memories at the Qi Family Manor.
