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

Yu Zhe helped Xiao Ruo Ke put out the fire in the morning, but he himself was on fire.

Xiao Ruoke didn't know what was wrong with her. Like a little wolf who hadn't smelled meat in a long time, she was panting quite loudly when she saw Yu Zhe!

Yu Zhe had never seen Xiao Ruo Ke like that before... She kept muttering "I like you, I like you," which was completely unlike her usual reserved self, as she tried her best to express her feelings to Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe didn't refuse... and used all his strength to completely extinguish the fire for Xiao Ruoke.

She should still be asleep right now.

She can sleep, but Yu Zhe can't.

He only took a short nap at noon before going out to keep his appointment with Xiaomeng.

Xiaomeng has been talking about this date for days. She said that Xue'er has recovered very well and is eating and drinking normally again. She is very happy and wants to go out with Yuzhe for a cup of milk tea and go shopping.

This small request is of course no problem.

Yu Zhe turned his head toward Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng wears a different outfit every month of the year, no two months are ever the same.

Xiaomeng is so cute today.

Holding hands with Yu Zhe, beneath the fluffy brown sleeves, Yu Zhe's fingers could touch them; the fabric was cool and light.

Perhaps she's aware that she's about to become a college student, because lately she's stopped wearing the Lolita-style clothes her parents prepared for her and switched to simpler, but still stylish, tutu skirts.

She even permed the ends of her hair and tied it into pigtails. This small change really made her look fresh and new.

This light blue tutu dress with flowing patterns is supposed to be quite mature, but...why does it look like children's clothing on Xiaomeng?

Yu Zhe wouldn't dare say that.

He quickly and gently shook the arm holding Xiaomeng's hand, bringing the topic back to the discussion they had just had.

"No, no, Xiao Ruoke is full of good points. I can discover new shining points in her every day. Isn't that normal?"

"Hmm...that's true...so what about me? Don't you have any redeeming qualities that I've discovered?"

"No."

"Um?!"

"Hahaha, what I mean is, all your good points are in my heart, so I can't see them with my eyes~ How's that answer?"

"A bit rustic, isn't it?" Xiao Meng blinked her big eyes, but waved her arms enthusiastically! "But I like it!"

"Hmm~ Oh right, I forgot to tell you some good news. Xiao Ruoke has been accepted into Capital University. You didn't know that, did you?"

"real?!"

Xiao Meng's twin ponytails trembled, and even her steps became light and airy: "Amazing, Qin Ruoke! You keep your word! No wonder you're number one in our class. Now, Teacher Fang's resume of producing top students will be filled with even more splendid achievements!"

"Indeed, she was smiling quite happily when she told me about it today."

"Is that not certain? It'll upset whoever it is!"

Well... I'm really happy, but there's something Yu Zhe won't tell Xiao Meng.

When Xiao Ruoke happily recounted this incident, it was during the most intense moment of her battle with Yu Zhe in bed.

After saying those words... she went limp and couldn't move.

In that state of mind, it seems like no matter what the topic is, people will be happy!

Yu Zhe shook his head, trying not to think about the happiness of the morning.

He turned his head and looked down at Xiaomeng, asking her a question.

"Have you received an admission notice from the provincial university yet?"

"It's been sent... I received it this morning. Sigh... I wanted to tell you right away, but then I remembered that Qin Ruoke applied to Capital University, and suddenly I felt that mine wasn't very prestigious. Maybe I should just leave it at that?"

"Nonsense! Do you know this is Versailles? The provincial capital university is also a 985 university. Getting into a 985 university is called... bringing honor to one's ancestors?"

"My parents have been telling everyone they meet about the university I got into these past few days. Ugh, they're just showing off."

"Get up."

"That's normal, it's something to brag about, and I've bragged about it plenty of times~ Next time I have a business meeting, I'll tell them all! My family member got into a university in the provincial capital!"

"No, no, no, no! It's so embarrassing! But... family? You can emphasize that word!"

"If you want to hear it, I'll say it often from now on, 'Here, this is strawberry flavored, do you want some?'"

Yu Zhe shook the strawberry milkshake he was drinking halfway through.

"Drink up!" Xiao Meng held up her vanilla sundae in front of Yu Zhe. "We can switch between them, and try both flavors for the price of one. Isn't that a steal?"

"Pfft... I agree, then hold on and don't move, okay..."

While holding the sundae, Xiao Meng didn't stop sucking on the milkshake straw that Yu Zhe pushed over.

Yu Zhe was even more audacious, not even using a spoon, and took a bite directly from Xiao Meng's sundae.

After finishing their meal, the two looked at each other and smiled, even though there was nothing particularly funny about it, and they didn't know what was making them laugh.

This is what silly couples in the throes of new love are like. What seems like silly behavior to outsiders is, in their own eyes, blissful like walking on clouds.

That is, the moment this act of exchanging drinks and tasting them is completed...

Suddenly, Yu Zhe heard a beverage bottle fall to the ground from diagonally in front of him.

Xiao Meng heard it too, and turned her head to look in confusion.

Then...

I saw someone I wasn't very familiar with.

An ordinary-looking girl stood there in shock, the bottle of her beverage falling from her hand and rolling to a stop on the gravel path beside the lawn. She didn't even have the energy to pick it up.

This person was none other than Zhang Zhi.

During Xiaomeng's senior year of high school, when she was pursuing Yuzhe, he was the "strategist" who often gave her advice.

At this moment, she was utterly shocked.

Why the shock?

Because...! The scene before us clearly illustrates a fact.

—Senior Luo Xiaomeng and Senior Su Yuzhe really got together!

Despite Zhang Zhi's previous advice to Xiao Meng, she never imagined that the two of them could actually get together!

Xiao Meng, perhaps noticing her reaction, guessed what she was thinking.

Yes... everything we have today has not come easily.

Luo Luoli hugged Yu Zhe's arm tightly, completely satisfied, and waved her little hand at Zhang Zhi.

It seems like showing off.

It also seems to be a form of self-acceptance.

Perhaps... this is the most beautiful display in the world!

40. Feeling deeply satisfied

Zhang Zhi greeted the eldest young master of the Su family with trepidation, and then quickly gestured for Xiao Meng to come to the side with her so they could have a private talk!

That means they want to confirm the gossip as soon as possible!

After all, this was a couple she had helped out back then!

Leading Xiaomeng to the vending machine, Zhang Zhi glanced at Su Yuzhe, who was sitting on a bench waiting, and cautiously asked him a question while half-covering her mouth with her hand.

"Hey, Luo Xiaomeng, what's going on? You two...you and Su Yuzhe, are you really a couple?!"

"Hmm, strategist, guess?"

"Guess...tsk, although I would say that logically speaking, you two should have failed and settled for being friends, but judging from your happy, smug, and irritating look, you two probably did get together!"

In her entire life, Lolo has probably never experienced a moment more glorious than this!

She hummed softly, put her little hands on her hips, raised her head, and puffed out her non-existent chest.

"Hehe! You guessed right! I feel like every day is New Year's Day now~ Thank you, Zhang Zhi. If it weren't for your advice before, I really don't know when I would have been able to get together with Yu Zhe. I'm extremely grateful in every way! You're truly my good strategist!"

Zhang Zhi's eyebrows twitched, and she waved her hand, saying, "No... I can't accept that. This definitely has little to do with my plans... If the conventional methods I mentioned could help you win over Senior Su Yuzhe, then I might as well call myself a fortune teller! Seriously, if you're not lying to me, then you really are capable, I'm impressed!"

"That's right! Hey, why would I lie to you!"

Xiaomeng can now proudly announce that she is Yuzhe's girlfriend!

One of my girlfriends?

There is no difference!

Zhang Zhi nodded repeatedly, even admiring Xiao Meng so much that she spent six yuan to buy two drinks from the vending machine and gave one to Xiao Meng.

She could only marvel at this.

"I can't believe it... Senior Luo Xiaomeng, you are cute, which is an advantage, but I never expected that you could use that advantage to defeat the school beauty Su Zixiao? It's not just that! I heard that our school's rich but... very silly student council president? Everyone says that she also likes Senior Su Yuzhe, and they were very close when they were in school!"

Oh wow, you're still gossiping?

Xiao Meng's level of understanding is completely different from his. She is now a participant in the actual experience and knows everything perfectly well!

The more Zhang Zhi argued, the more outrageous it seemed, and her gaze towards Xiao Meng became somewhat admiring.

"Goodness... Senior, is this the composure of a successful person? Defeating countless powerful enemies and standing at the highest peak, looking down on all living beings with such ease? Do you know how difficult it was for you to accomplish this!"

How difficult?

Anyway, it's much harder than winning five million in the lottery, that's what Zhang Zhi thought.

Xiaomeng was just immersed in sharing her current happiness with Zhang Zhi.

But...she had only just understood when...

Zhang Zhi is misunderstanding something.

Objectively speaking, whether or not this issue is explained doesn't really matter, and there's no need to explain it too clearly to Zhang Zhi.

But Xiaomeng felt... that couldn't be done.

Even to outsiders, Xiaomeng didn't want to keep the honor of being Yuzhe's only girlfriend to herself; this honor belonged to everyone.
