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

—Zi Xiaoyu Che, you guys did a great job!

Xiao Ruoke lacked confidence, but she still persisted in continuing to tell her story.

“I…I trust them, and I trust you even more…so I turned down the original application to the Capital University. Today’s trip to the airport was also arranged by Yu Che. She said she wanted to use this to…surprise you.”

Su! Yu! Che!

59. Warmth

surprise...?

Every surprise from Su Yuche turned into a complete shock, and Yu Zhe was completely fed up with talking about it!

You call this a surprise? You're absolutely right, Yu Zhe is indeed very surprised right now.

But do you think Yu Zhe is grateful for Yu Che's decision now?

Putting aside the part about wanting to thank her, I just want to give her a flick on the forehead!

Well...

Let's leave other things aside for now.

There's at least one thing Yu Zhe has to admit now.

Looking at Xiao Ruoke, who seemed a little worried and troubled, Yu Zhe patted her back with one hand and smiled.

"Little Ruoke, although it's only been a few minutes since we parted,... welcome home?"

"Yes, I'm... back."

Taking the luggage from her hands, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

That's fine.

Although I wasted my time working on Ling Ke, this way I can finally get a good night's sleep on many nights in the early morning!

Just as Yu Zhe was about to contact Lu Ling and Lu Yao to go home, he saw the lights of a car flashing on the road at the airport entrance.

Yu Zhe still remembered the headlights of the car he had arrived in; it was Lu Ling and Lu Yao who had come to pick him up.

The car stopped next to Yu Zhe and Qin Ruoke, but just as Yu Zhe was about to lift the suitcase into the trunk, the back seat of the car suddenly opened.

Upon seeing the three people getting out of the car, Yu Zhe knew that all his actions tonight had been completely manipulated!

The three people who got off the car through the back door were Yu Che, Zi Xiao, and Yun'er.

The trio of friends were all grinning from ear to ear as they looked at Yu Zhe's bitter expression.

They really planned this all along! They even followed me when I left the house, didn't they!

Yu Zhe suddenly turned around and glanced at Qin Ruoke, who then turned her head to the side.

Ahem, don't look at me, don't look at me. I was just a necessary element in their surprise arrangement. I'm not the mastermind!

Xiao Ruoke... if you hadn't tipped off these kids that we were coming to the airport tonight, things wouldn't have come to this!

With Lu Yao's help, Yu Zhe managed to stuff the heavy suitcase that Qin Ruoke had brought into the trunk.

Then, he walked back with his arms crossed in front of him and stood in front of these three "all-powerful" planners.

When squeezing a persimmon, you have to pick the soft one!

Yu Zhe grabbed Yu Che's plump, collagen-filled face in one go!

"Ouch, brother, it hurts!! Don't pinch! Don't pinch me so hard!! Waaah, why did you hit me! Zixiao and this guy surnamed Mo are accomplices too!"

"Zi Xiaoyun'er is an accomplice, but you are the mastermind! To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Today, we'll teach you a lesson to set an example for others!"

"This is outrageous!! Su Zixiao! Mo Lingyun! Why are you just standing by and watching! You promised to share joys and sorrows together before you came here!"

Yun'er would be very happy to see Sister Yuche get punished by Brother Yuzhe!

There's no personal grudge, but since Sister Yuche always bullies her, the only thing that can make her cry out like this is Brother Yuzhe's righteous cheek pinch. So, the more the merrier!

Zixiao pressed down her silky black hair, which was slightly lifted by the night wind, and initially remained silent.

Haha, Zixiao was against Yuche's initial proposal. Even if it was to give her brother a surprise, Zixiao didn't want to deceive him, let alone make him get up in the early morning, which would be too tiring.

But... when Zixiao got out of the car just now, she saw the satisfied and relieved smile on her brother's face, and she realized that Yuche hadn't done anything wrong.

Life needs these seasonings, just like cooking. You have to taste all the flavors – sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy – ​​to make it truly flavorful.

Therefore, Zixiao took a step forward and put her hands together in front of her to speak well of Yuche.

"Brother, how about we do it this way? Yu Che meant well. Um... this is what we initially thought: since Senior Sister Qin is going to university in the capital, she'll basically be working at the Su Group after she returns home, so she can stay here..."

All they wanted was the sense of reward for their hard work at a prestigious university. Yu Che said that was simple: if Fenghai City didn't have a prestigious university, they'd create one themselves. Ah. But Yu Che was basically the one leading all of this, wasn't he? Ling Yun and I were just agreeing and acting in unison.

Upon hearing this, Yu Che felt her burning face sting even more!

"Fine!! Su Zixiao, you heartless, ungrateful wretch! You promised to share joys and sorrows, and this is what you do! Brother! Did you hear that? When we get home, we should tie her up and starve her for three days and three nights, to teach her a lesson and let her know who's in charge here... Waaaaah! It hurts!"

Yu Zhe silently released her plump cheek with his thumb and forefinger, and instead gave her a flick on the forehead.

"I think it's time to let you know who's in charge here. You handled this well, but next time you have to give me a heads-up beforehand. If you startle me like this again, you'll see how I tie you up!"

"Fine... I'll do it again next time anyway, so it's my pleasure to tie you up, brother..."

"Um?!"

Yu Zhe suddenly realized that he really couldn't control her!

When Qin Ruoke got back into the car, Yu Che reached out and gave her a high five.

This means—the operation was a great success!

All operational objectives have been achieved. What do you call cleverness? (Proud)

The wind was still a bit chilly in the early autumn morning. Yu Che was wearing short sleeves and was still a little cold. She urged Zi Xiao and the others to get in the car quickly. Zi Xiao also had a lot to talk about with Qin Ruoke, who was "returning" from the Capital University in just a few minutes, so she got in the car first to summarize her combat experience.

Mo Lingyun, who was outside the car, had a plaid scarf wrapped around her long-sleeved jacket. She took two steps forward, took the scarf off her neck, and wrapped it around Yu Zhe's neck.

"Hmm...? Yun'er, just wrap yourself up, I'm not cold."

“No way~ Brother Yuzhe, standing here makes me feel warm, but if I feel warm, I will absorb heat, and then you will feel cold. So according to this logic, you should wear this scarf.”

"..."

What kind of bizarre logic is this?

But Yun'er didn't just come to put a scarf on Yu Zhe.

She tiptoed forward, leaned close to Yu Zhe's ear, and spoke with a hint of complaint in her voice.

"Brother Yuzhe... this time, you can't blame Sister Yuche. You were also at fault. You came to see Senior Qin off without knowing the truth and kept it from us. Did you want to bear the sadness of parting alone? Sigh... I'm not trying to criticize you, but you have to change this habit. Consider this a lesson learned, but next time, you can't be so unreasonable! Tell us everything so we can tell you our plans~"

"Okay...okay..."

After saying this, Yun'er swaggered back to the car with an air of indifference.

The weather was cool, but Yu Zhe couldn't help but feel ashamed...

Yun'er is really something else. Like a little devil, she made Yu Zhe feel a little ashamed with just a few words.

Okay, next time I really have to tell them everything, otherwise, Yu Zhe has a feeling that Yun'er won't use such gentle words to express her dissatisfaction next time.

That would probably mean throwing Yu Zhe onto the bed and showing everyone through her actions!

Ugh... Just thinking about it makes me craving it—but I can't have it.

"Hurry up, brother! Let's go home! At this hour, you can still take a nap!"

"Here it comes!"

At Yu Che's wave, Yu Zhe tightened the scarf around his neck and sat in the back seat of the car.

The back seat of a car is usually only big enough for three people, but Yu Zhe, Zi Xiao, Yun Er, Qin Ruo Ke, and Yu Che are all quite thin, so squeezing in four people is no problem.

But there are five people?

It's okay! Anyway, Yu Che is going to sit on Yu Zhe's lap! This saves us another spot!

If everyone huddles together, this cold early morning will become incredibly warm.

60. An incredibly bizarre thought process

Yu Zhe is not easily fooled, but yesterday's airport incident is one example!

Often, when highly intelligent people encounter a scam, they feel a little frustrated and will try to see how others react when they are also fooled.

To ensure the victim falls for the scam, the other party's intelligence cannot be too high.

So, the next day, Yu Zhe decisively took a car to the Ouyang family villa—to find Xiao Lizhi!

That's very polite! It's just a normal visit.

It doesn't mean that Little Lychee isn't smart enough.

When Yu Zhe was led by a maid from the Ouyang family to visit Xiao Lizhi's room... she almost made him furious.

It's already noon! Little Lychee is still fast asleep in bed!

Her sleeping posture showed absolutely no manners or self-awareness befitting a young lady of high birth.

Two exquisitely sculpted, long legs, as if they had let themselves go, one draped over the east side of the bed and the other over the west side.

His elbows were raised high, almost extending beyond the edge of the bed.

Her blonde hair was all messy from sleeping, and drool was still dripping from the corner of her mouth, but her even little breathing while she was fast asleep was actually quite cute.

As soon as Yu Zhe arrived, the maid Xiao Lan hurriedly bowed and apologized to him.

—Waaaaah, we're so sorry we raised our young lady... no, your fiancée to be like this!

Yu Zhe waved his hand with a wry smile, indicating that it was alright, and then told Xiao Lan to close the door and leave first.

What's the big deal?

You know, Little Lychee's sleeping posture is quite elegant, at least she stays in this position without moving!

If Yu Che goes crazy while sleeping, she could strangle Yu Zhe to death!

When Yu Zhe walked to her bedside, he could see a little...

They didn't even notice to keep their feet down.

It's one thing for others, but for Xiao Lizhi, even if Yu Zhe installed two subwoofers in her room and turned them on at the same time, he still wouldn't be able to wake her from her sleep!
