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

So, Xiaomeng raised one index finger and gave a brief explanation.

"Your statement isn't quite accurate. Zixiao didn't lose; rather, she was too strong, there was simply no way she could lose. Also, Xiaoli... Student Council President Ouyang Lizhi didn't lose either. She and Yuzhe are doing well now! Yuzhe dotes on her a lot, and I also think she's a bit silly, but very cute."

"..."

There were no flaws to criticize; it was an obvious thing...

It suddenly became complicated.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Zhi's forced smile. She bent her fingers again and mentally analyzed the situation, finally arriving at another conclusion.

"So... you didn't actually win? Now it's a competition between Su Zixiao and Ouyang Lizhi?"

"No! I did win! But they won too, do you understand?"

"I don't understand?!"

"It's not just the few of us, there are others you don't know either, I won't go into details, ah! In short! I just want to tell you that it's not just me who came to Yu Zhe's side, everyone is Yu Zhe's help!"

"..."

What was originally just a complicated situation has now suddenly become "magical".

If Zhang Zhi's comprehension is correct... then the final conclusion will only have one meaning left.

That means Senior Su Yuzhe is wearing several...!

"Zhang Zhi, your junior? Right?"

"Um?!"

Just as Zhang Zhi's thoughts were forming, a light, melodious voice, like that of a lark, suddenly interrupted all her thoughts!

At the same time, this inexplicable sense of oppression made Zhang Zhi subconsciously create some distance between them.

She steadied herself and looked back... Good heavens, when did Senior Su Yu Zhe sneak up behind her so quietly!

Accustomed to his light-footed pace, Yu Zhe gave a wry smile, took Xiao Meng's hand, and gave Zhang Zhi an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, Zhang Xuemei, Xiaomeng and I are actually on a date today... Well, it's not very polite to say that, but if you want to chat, we can go shopping together at another time. However, my time is very precious to me today, so we'll be heading out now?"

Zhang Zhi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then she immediately realized what was happening and respectfully stepped back to make way.

"Okay...okay! Seniors, please make yourselves at home! I...I won't bother you!"

Who would have thought that Zhang Zhi would have the chance to speak to the eldest son of the Su family!

But that's all, just a few words.

Yu Zhe nodded to her with a look of "thank you for understanding," then led Xiao Meng forward, gradually moving away from the area.

Zhang Zhi's figure gradually faded from view.

Just as Yu Zhe was content to continue his date with Xiao Meng, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Is Xiaomeng's hand getting warmer?

He stopped and looked back.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Xiaomeng's face was as red as a ripe persimmon!

"Xiao Meng?! You have a fever?"

"No!! Waaah!! I really don't have a fever!"

Yu Zhe even touched Xiao Meng's forehead with the back of his hand to check her temperature, but Xiao Meng quickly shook her head to emphasize that she didn't have a fever.

Xiao Meng's two tiny leather shoes rubbed against the cobblestones on the ground a couple of times. She suddenly looked up, and the tenderness in her deep blue eyes, unique to a young girl, startled Yu Zhe.

"Hmm...it's all your fault for what you said earlier! It was only a few minutes late...and you got so anxious. How could I not be happy with what you said...that's too much."

She's saying what's on her mind now.

She is like that, and so is Yu Zhe.

He didn't mind telling her his thoughts.

"What's wrong with a few minutes... You left me standing there for a few minutes, and I'll take you away. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

"Waaah! That's why I'm saying this! Don't say it again..."

"What if I say that again?"

"Besides, didn't we already say we were running out of time...? Then let's continue our date tomorrow!!"

"Hey, that's unlikely~ I'm going to see a movie with Yu Che tomorrow."

"hateful!!"

But...

That's why Yu Zhe cherishes every minute he spends with them.

Xiao Meng feels deeply satisfied.

41. Got it!

The final destination for today's date will be chosen by Xiaomeng.

When it comes to dates, although everyone says that the boy should plan ahead so that the girl doesn't have to worry and can just have fun, Yu Zhe is not willing to do that.

As for the reason, it's not because Yu Zhe is lazy.

Rather, he simply wanted to give more of the initiative to the girls.

Besides, simply passively following orders isn't their style at all.

Their strong initiative is one of the reasons why Yu Zhe loves their interesting souls.

Xiao Meng adjusted the hair clip holding her ponytail, humming a little tune, her mood very high.

"Hmm~ Hmm? Almost there, right? I wonder if Little Lychee will like the gift I brought her."

"Don't worry, she's been craving the pastries from your bakery for ages. There's no reason she wouldn't like them, but..."

"but?"

Slowing down, Yu Zhe looked across the closed road and saw the Ouyang family villa, which was already faintly visible a few hundred meters away.

Yu Zhe pinched Xiao Meng's fingers, and with his other hand lifted her up, he brought...

"Yes, the small pastry boxes were made by Xiaomeng herself."

"But why did you want to come to Little Lychee's house? I thought you would choose an amusement park or an aquarium as a date destination."

“We can go to those places anytime! But it’s a rare opportunity to meet Xiaolizhi when she’s home and has nothing to do. I’ve always felt that since I haven’t talked to Xiaolizhi much, and we’ll be living together sooner or later, it’s definitely not a bad thing to get to know each other early on!”

Actually, after the trip to Chromie, Xiaomeng and the others gradually got to know each other better.

Especially Xiao Lizhi, after Xiao Meng and she built a few sand sculptures on the beach, they felt that this Miss Ouyang was particularly... cough, particularly approachable and easy to talk to.

When it comes to making friends, you have to strike while the iron is hot. Xiao Meng, who has been the class monitor for many years, has a lot of experience in this regard.

Moreover... it's not just a social issue; Xiaomeng originally wanted to make friends with Xiaolizhi!

Yu Zhe sped up again, leading her to quicken her pace. While smiling with satisfaction, he also corrected a problem that Xiao Meng had mentioned earlier.

"That's a good idea. You must have felt it too. If you want to get to know Xiao Lizhi, you have to play with her more and talk to her more. You'll naturally become familiar with her. Pfft... It's just like playing with a child. But there's one thing: it's inevitable that we'll run into Xiao Lizhi at home when we come here. It's not as rare as you say. Whenever you come, she'll probably be at home. What could she possibly have to do? She's a total free spirit."

"Huh? She doesn't have to spend all day buried in files like Sister Xinye?"

Xiao Meng clearly remembers Yu Zhe saying that Xiao Lizhi has made progress recently in terms of being the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family!

"It's all because of my dad..." Yu Zhe's head ached at the mention of this. "My dad gave a passionate speech at the Su Group meeting the other day, saying that he wanted to work hard again and be a good head of the family. He was so enthusiastic! Sigh... Uncle Qi Yi and Uncle Ouyang seem to have been influenced by him. They both want to change their ways and be good heads of the family. If they work hard, Sister Ye will be fine, but do you think Xiao Lizhi will have any chance? Tsk tsk tsk, this guy... he's really destined to enjoy a life of luxury."

"..."

The saying "fools are lucky" is actually quite wrong.

While chatting, Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng had already arrived at the gate of the Ouyang family villa.

After crossing the enclosed road, stepping over this neatly manicured courtyard, and climbing six steps, you arrive at the wide front gate of the villa.

The doorbell was positioned slightly higher than Yu Zhe's head.

Yu Zhe was about to raise his hand to press the doorbell...

Xiao Meng volunteered to grab Yu Zhe's hand and keep it suspended in mid-air for a while.

"Stop! Hey, this task is mine! It's my first time visiting Little Lychee's house as a friend, and I want to ring the doorbell myself!"

"Alright, alright." Yu Zhe withdrew his hand with a wry smile, snapped his fingers and laughed, "Today, everything is up to you, little princess."

Hmm... So, don't suddenly blurt out such hurtful words.

Xiao Meng straightened the non-existent wrinkles on her clothes and moved closer to the door frame where the doorbell was located.

Yu Zhe looked around, trying to see how the Ouyang family's simple courtyard differed from what it used to be.

It seems like... there are more sunflowers?

Oh, maybe it's because Sister Ye said she would teach Little Lychee how to grow flowers, and she's fulfilling that promise.

Hmm...? The doorbell hasn't rung yet?

What is Xiaomeng doing? Could she possibly be nervous coming to Xiaolizhi's house?

Yu Zhe turned around in surprise, and this turn of his head... came at just the right time.

Xiaomeng wasn't afraid to ring the doorbell because she was nervous.

On the contrary, she's working quite hard now!

Lori stood on tiptoe, leaned against the door, stretched out her arm, and tried to press the doorbell that was just a finger's width away.

This somewhat comical scene was witnessed by Yu Zhe.

Xiao Meng didn't expect Yu Zhe to suddenly turn around!

She abruptly lowered her heel and casually withdrew her arm.

Turning around, she even whistled a tune that she barely made.

"Haha... I suddenly feel that it's not appropriate for me to ring this doorbell! Yuzhe, if you come to her house, she'll definitely be happier than if I did, so of course you should ring it! Right? Right!"

Waaah, Xiaomeng really went all out to prove she's not short.
