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

It must be quite impressive to come up with such an explanation in such a short time, right?

She really made me cry my eyes out.

Yu Zhe didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded, which was considered an admission of her statement.

Xiao Meng reluctantly stepped aside to stop the doorbell.

If Yu Zhe is about 1.7 meters tall, he can reach her by raising his arm.

But... Xiaomeng kept her head down and still didn't hear the doorbell ring.

I looked up.

"..."

Yu Zhe didn't even go to the main gate.

He stood right next to Xiaomeng, and before Xiaomeng could react, Yuzhe decisively moved behind her.

Then... he slipped his hands under her thin armpits and exerted force!

Luo Luoli was easily lifted up by Yu Zhe!

"Whoa...! It's so high! Yuzhe, what are you doing! Put me down!"

Xiao Meng was protesting, but she was quite obedient and didn't make a fuss at all.

"That won't do." Yu Zhe not only didn't put her down, but instead hugged her and took a step forward.

Xiao Meng's knees touched the cool door frame, and she only heard Yu Zhe whisper in her ear.

"We agreed that you would ring the doorbell, so I can't go back on my word. Here, you can ring it like this, right?"

"Hmm...it seems...it's okay now."

The doorbell was already right in front of Xiaomeng.

she was

She had originally wanted to work harder to increase her height... but she could feel Yu Zhe waving her hands around.

He must be exhausted from holding me... but he's still trying to look cool.

Hmm... She's putting on a brave face again.

Xiao Meng never argued about her height, and this time she was incredibly decisive and pressed the doorbell button.

Ding Dong!

With a single press, Xiaomeng quickly wiggled her two short legs, clad in white over-the-knee stockings, and bounced back to the ground from Yuzhe's grasp.

She turned around and smiled, her hands behind her back, her smile warmer and more radiant than the sunshine.

"You got it!"

"uh-huh."

42. A perfect job for little lychees

Before coming, Yu Zhe had speculated with Xiao Meng about how Xiao Lizhi would react and what she would say after receiving the gift Xiao Meng brought her.

At that moment, a large box of authentic pastries from Xiaomeng's family was held in Xiaolizhi's hands.

She held the pastry box high, as if she were holding some sacred object!

"Wow...Wow!! Brother Yuzhe, Sister Xiaomeng, did you see that?! It's glowing, it's sparkling!"

If we borrow a popular internet meme to describe the current state of Xiaolizhi.

Then there is one sentence that is definitely the most appropriate.

—Don't go to this barbershop.

Yu Zhe whispered with a smile in Xiao Meng's ear.

"What did I tell you? Wasn't what she said just a few different tones from my prediction?"

"You added an 'Wow!' Wow... You really know her well."

"Just a foodie, easy to guess~"

Little Lychee, still holding the exquisite pastry box and looking at it from left to right, sat on the edge of the bed happily swinging her long legs. Little did she know that Yu Zhe had already predicted her thoughts completely.

She was probably dressed casually in her room, wearing a light blue, cool, ice-silk nightgown. The material was clearly silk, but her blonde hair, spread out on the clothes, looked even smoother than the fabric.

Little Lychee was probably too excited to receive the gift, because she jumped off the bed and barefoot, eager to share her joy with the two of them.

But before she ran over.

Yu Zhe decisively said, "Go back and put on your slippers."

"Hmm...okay."

The humble Lychee has no sense of being a young lady of high status.

When she came back after putting on her slippers, I was surprised to find that she wasn't depressed at all!

"Can I open it and we eat it together? Hehe... I've been craving Xiaomeng's pastries for so long."

As Yu Zhe nodded, he quietly moved his chair to the side to make room for Xiao Lizhi.

He had a feeling that what followed would be a tea party between her and Xiaomeng!

Well... since it's a women's tea party, Yu Zhe should naturally stay away to avoid getting involved.

Little Lizhi may not be particular about whether or not she wears slippers, but when it comes to food, she is very particular!

She kept a stack of cute little plates for snacks on her desk, just in case she needed them at this time.

No, putting plates in your desk, you're quite the genius!

Little Lychee placed the three small plates in front of the three people one by one, and then divided them equally according to the types of snacks in the pastry box. She didn't call for a maid, but personally made tea for Little Meng Yuzhe.

When the pastry box was empty and Xiaolizhi put it down, Yuzhe noticed a small detail.

She probably meant to divide it equally...?

But in the end, Yu Zhe had one more cookie in her small dish than the other two.

"..."

Perhaps this is how Little Lychee expresses her joy in welcoming Yu Zhe.

She really went all out!

Yu Zhe was deeply moved, and quietly, without saying a word, he switched his small plate with the small lychee's plate.

Little glutton~ You can eat it.

At this moment, Xiao Lizhi and Xiao Meng's tea party had already begun.

"Little Meng! Congratulations on getting into the provincial capital university! Cheers!"

"Oh...oh! Cheers!"

Little Lychee was completely uninhibited; she raised her teacup, clinked it with Little Meng's, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Zhe silently drank a cup with her, as if to offer tea in place of wine to congratulate Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng lightly put down her teacup. She was a little nervous when she first came here, but when she saw Xiao Lizhi next to her eating snacks carefree and happy, she smiled with relief.

"Thank you, Little Lychee! You'll definitely get in next year too. Oh wait... you were second in your grade, weren't you?! Maybe you can even get into the Capital University!"

"Huh?" Little Lychee asked, her mouth full of food, "Capital University? Where is that?"

"In the capital!"

"I see! I'll try my best on the exam!"

"..."

Okay, now I'm completely relaxed.

Little Lychee wolfed down several pastries in a row, then licked her lips contentedly and glanced at Yu Zhe.

"By the way, why did Brother Yuzhe and Sister Xiaomeng come to my place together today?"

"I just brought you some snacks." Yu Zhe, with his high EQ, understood the art of phrasing his words. "By the way, I'm on a date with Xiao Meng today."

"about...!"

Little Lychee's hand, which was reaching for a pastry, paused in mid-air.

Then... he started smiling again!

"Mmm, a date is great! Little Meng, you've been so busy taking care of sick Xue'er lately, you must be exhausted. It's wonderful to be able to go out with Brother Yu Zhe!"

"Oh... Little Lychee! You're such a good child!" Xiao Meng was deeply moved!

"Yes! Sister Xiaomeng is a good child too!"

"!"

Ugh, it sounds harmless, but why do I keep feeling like she's playing a prank on me, making fun of how short I am like a child?

Where is the child?

There was no evidence to begin with, and Xiao Lizhi was smiling so brightly, so Xiao Meng really couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted about many interesting topics in common, mainly reviewing the fun things that happened during their trip to Chromie, and Xiaomeng telling her about Xue'er's recent situation.

Yu Zhe listened with great interest.

It was really funny how the two of them chatted while taking turns handing me cookies!

Finally, after they finished discussing a topic, Yu Zhe chimed in with a comment.

"Excuse me~ I'm quite curious, Little Lychee, what have you been busy with lately? After returning from Kromer, I heard from Aunt Elisa that you seem to have some kind of project?"

"Oh right! Brother Yuzhe, I was just about to tell you about this! Hehe, this might be the first time in my life that I've contributed to the family's construction, it's quite a memorable event!"

Tell me about it.

Xiao Meng also spun her chair to sit shoulder to shoulder with Yu Zhe, to hear what Xiao Lizhi's grand plan was all about.

It seems that Little Lychee is very proud of this.

She even put down the cookies in her hand, stood up from the chair, her blonde hair fluttered, she squinted proudly, and placed her hand on her rather proud chest, which was covered by her pajamas.
