Back home, Xiaoyouzi hurried inside.
Time to do homework!
It's getting late.
As soon as I entered, I bumped into the old housekeeper who was returning from walking the dog.
"Woof!" Jelly barked happily, and the whole dog pounced on Little Pomelo.
The old butler quickly stopped Jelly from lunging: "Stop lunging! You're a big dog already!"
"Miss Yuzu is back. Would you like to take a bath tonight? I can have someone prepare the water for you." The old butler, holding Jelly's hand, smiled at Little Yuzu.
Shaking her head, Xiaoyouzi said, "No, I have to go do my homework, I'm in a hurry."
After saying that, Little Pomelo patted Jelly's head and ran back upstairs.
The housekeeper chuckled and took the jelly to get her feet washed.
When the old butler came out, he ran into Luo Chen and Dika returning.
"Eek~" Upon seeing Luo Chen, Jelly instinctively flinched in fear and backed away.
The old butler greeted Luo Chen with a smile, and Jelly poked its head out from behind his legs to look at Luo Chen.
Even the smiling angels dare not smile anymore.
Luo Chen glanced at the jelly and nodded to the old butler: "Where's Little Pomelo?"
"Miss Yuzu is upstairs, probably doing her homework." The old housekeeper thought about how Yuzu had been in such a hurry earlier, she was probably anxious to finish her homework.
Luo Chen nodded: "Okay, I understand. Take this stupid dog away."
"good."
The old butler tugged at the chain, and Jelly quickly wagged its tail and followed.
"Boss, shall we go find Miss Yuzu now?" Dika asked respectfully.
Luo Chen shook his head: "Let's do it later."
The two went upstairs and bumped into Qin Feng, who was wearing a vest, coming out of the gym.
After greeting the two, Qin Feng's gaze fell on Dika, and a strange competitive spirit emerged: "Dika, wanna fight?"
"Perfect timing, it's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."
Dika glanced at Luo Chen, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he was eager to try: "Let's go to the training room."
Seeing this, Luo Chen went upstairs.
He still has a lot of work to finish.
As everyone expected, Xiaoyouzi went back to her room and started doing her homework furiously.
Half an hour later.
After making sure she had finished everything on both sides without missing anything, Xiaoyouzi opened the WeChat group.
Sweet Pomelo: Is that all the homework for today? [Image]
Wen Shuqin: Yes, that's right.
Jiang Qian: Little Yuzi, are you done writing?
Mu Siyu: It's so late, I should have finished writing a long time ago. Look at the castle I made with clay @SweetGrapefruit
Wen Tian: I've finished playing the piano and am already in bed.
Jiang Qian: o(╥﹏╥)o I'm the one who dragged everyone down.
Sweet Pomelo: As long as I didn't miss any homework, goodnight everyone.
Wen Shuqin: Good night.
After saying goodnight, Xiaoyouzi put her phone aside and went to take a shower.
After washing up, she lay sprawled on the bed in her nightgown.
She lay there comfortably, then, like a sea turtle, stretched her limbs, pretending to be swimming in the water.
"Ah, I'll have to wait until it gets warmer before I go swimming," Little Yuzu muttered to herself.
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Little Pomelo sat up abruptly and called out, "Who is it?"
"Little Yuzu, it's me." Luo Chen's voice rang out from outside the door.
The voice was filled with deep weariness.
Little Yuzu quickly got out of bed and ran to the door without even putting on her slippers.
Just before opening the door, Xiaoyouzi glanced at Xiaobai, who was sitting next to her pillow with her eyes closed, and then ran back inside.
Little Yuzu picked up Little White and put it into the huge model building on the sand table: "Little White, you stay inside and don't come out and scare my brother, okay?"
"Oh~" Xiaobai replied, but did not come out.
After dealing with that, Xiaoyouzi ran back and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, before Luo Chen could speak, Xiao Youzi quickly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Luo Chen, standing before me, was wearing a bathrobe, his hair not neatly combed but softly cascading down his neck.
His brows were furrowed with exhaustion and worry; he was clearly in a state of extreme fatigue.
Upon seeing Xiaoyouzi, Luo Chen couldn't help but soften his tone and smiled slightly: "Xiaoyouzi, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Okay, come in and talk." Little Yuzu opened the door completely and stood to the side: "Come in quickly."
"Um."
After Luo Chen came in, Xiao Youzi closed the door: "Big brother, come sit by the bed for a bit, I'm looking for something."
She opened the cabinet and squatted down in front of her safe.
[Beep, iris verification successful!]
[Beep, fingerprint verification successful!]
[Beep, password correct!]
The safe beeped three times before slowly opening its door.
Luo Chen glanced at her: "Little Yuzu, what are you looking for?"
You'll see soon enough!
Little Yuzu rummaged through the contents and pulled out a medicine packet: "This is it, Pikachu!"
Taking out a medicine packet, Xiaoyouzi came to Luo Chen's side and handed it to him: "Big brother, this medicine packet contains lavender and some other sleep-aiding and calming herbs. It's very effective. Take it with you."
"Look at you, those dark circles under your eyes are huge! You haven't been getting enough rest lately, have you?"
Little Yuzu's eyes were filled with heartache.
Luo Chen tightened his grip on the medicine packet, a strong fragrance stimulating his olfactory nerves.
Like a warm, comforting hand warmer, it gently soothed his aching head.
He nodded. "I haven't been sleeping very well lately."
"Okay, here you take it."
Little Yuzi climbed onto the bed, put her hand on Luo Chen's shoulder, and said gently, "Big brother, let me rub it for you. While I'm rubbing it, tell me what you need me for."
