"..."

Zixiao lowered her head sheepishly and remained silent.

She originally thought she was very clever today, that her intelligence had prevailed, and that she had fooled Yu Che.

But it turns out I'm still a noob!

Without making a sound, Yu Zhe quietly reached out his right hand and put his arm around Zi Xiao's right shoulder.

As Zixiao felt the warmth of Yuzhe's embrace and the silver hair brushing against her cheek, Yuzhe spoke.

"Well... don't worry about the details. Yu Che is just being tolerant of her younger sister. She said she would bring a fish home, so we really did bring her one to show our gratitude."

"Pfft... Brother, you're so cruel! Yuche doesn't like fish, and you still brought her fish! Hahaha..."

"Are you happy now?"

No...no.

Even if you temporarily stop smiling, it's too late, isn't it?

Zixiao's smile still lingered on her face; clearly, Yuzhe's joking remark had cheered her up.

Just think about how disgusted Yuche looked when he ate fish, doesn't that make you especially happy?

The saying that happiness is built on the suffering of others has some truth to it!

Yu Che: Are you guys being polite?!

Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao chatted casually about their upcoming trip to the aquarium.

Soon, the car I booked on my phone arrived.

Thus, the aquarium journey that belongs exclusively to Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao has officially begun!

...........................................

Fenghai City Aquarium is a well-known tourist attraction throughout the city.

It is quite famous, not because of the size of the aquarium itself, or because of its high quality.

The main problem is that Fenghai City is not located on the coast and has no mountains!

Opening a reasonably sized aquarium in a city so lacking in natural scenery would naturally make it quite famous!

This aquarium usually has a fairly high volume of visitors.

But today, Yu Zhe Zi Xiao has won the lottery.

Perhaps the start of the university semester has drawn away a large number of visitors? In any case, the aquarium was not crowded today, with only a few people around, making it quite spacious and suitable for a visit!

As Yu Zhe entered the venue, he felt the "enthusiasm and blessings" of the ticket inspector as always.

"Wow...you two girls are so pretty!! Are you two best friends visiting the aquarium together today? Okay, have fun!"

Throughout the entire exchange, Zixiao responded with a wry smile, while Yuzhe remained silent with his head down.

Even after they had passed through the ticket gate, Yu Zhe could still hear the lingering, lively discussion between the two ticket inspectors behind him.

"This is outrageous! Were those high school students? Are high school students this good-looking these days?! They're even prettier than models and celebrities!"

"Frank, insightful, and correct. If you ask me, you have to admit it—girls these days are incredibly glamorous! It reminds me of my youth..."

"You weren't this pretty when you were young, hahaha!"

"roll!"

Yu Zhe grabbed Zi Xiao's hand and quickly fled the noisy place.

Zixiao always ends up acting as her brother's emotional support during these times; it's just a habit of hers.

"Alright, alright, brother... they just don't know that what they see isn't necessarily the truth. We know about your masculinity, that's enough. There's no need to force others to understand, right?"

"Waaah... Zixiao, it's such a blessing to be out with you!"

"?!"

Is it really that exaggerated?!

Yes, you deserve such an exaggeration!

Yu Zhe already had a picture in his mind: what would Xiao Lizhi say if he were walking with her in that situation?

Little Lychee will definitely laugh and pat Yu Zhe on the back, then say something like, "..."

—Hahaha, Brother Yuzhe! They say you look like a girl!!

Just thinking about it for a little while makes my blood pressure spike!

Unlike Zixiao, who looks like a little angel when she walks next to you!

At that moment, Yu Zhe heard the little angel's delighted exclamation!

"Ah!! Brother, look, look! The fish over there, the whole glass is covered in them!!"

"Hmm? Well... indeed, it's spectacular!"

Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao, arm in arm, couldn't help but stop and admire the scene before them.

The lights in the aquarium were all turned blue, shining on the thick, reflective glass and making the water appear as the color of the ocean and sky.

The entire venue is like being in an underwater world, as dazzling and romantic as a fairy tale.

Yu Zhe tilted his head and saw Zi Xiao's smiling profile.

And in her crimson eyes, there was a surprise and joy reflected in the sea and sky!

Yu Zhe then suddenly remembered.

It seems like it's the first time for both Zixiao and me to visit an aquarium.

In the past, Yu Zhe was either too busy or too idle, so he was never in the mood to go out or go anywhere. He always felt that nothing was better than staying at home.

But then I saw the light in Zixiao's eyes.

Yu Zhe's opinion has changed.

In the future, I'll definitely take you and all the others out more often.

Only when you can see this light do you realize that everything was worthwhile.

70. A wonderful idea

Hand in hand, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking ahead~

Look at the fish, one, two, three, four, forming a whole flock!

This is a little tune that Yu Zhe improvised while observing the schools of all kinds of fish in the seemingly endless thick glass in front of him.

That humming was all it took to make Zixiao laugh!

"Brother, you're so talented! Sing a few more lines! I love hearing it."

"Ahem! I'm making a fool of myself. I'll stop here. If it's really not good enough, I'll sing for you when we get home."

Even if there aren't many people, it's not like there's no one around at all.

哼两

Just give a brief explanation!

Holding Yu Zhe's hand tightly, Zi Xiao was completely absorbed in the joy of playing.

She nodded emphatically, indicating that she had remembered Yu Zhe's words.

"Hmm! I'll sing it when we get home. Now I finally understand why Yu Che used my brother's voice and singing as a caller ID. It's a great idea!"

"If you insist on learning from him or her... at least learn something good from her! Don't learn these meaningless things. Hmm? Zixiao, look over there, penguins."

"No, no!"

Look in the direction Yu Zhe is pointing.

Sure enough, that direction led to the separate polar pavilion!

Zixiao then remembered that this aquarium also seemed to be known as the Polar Ocean World!

With light steps, Zixiao walked to the front of the venue, put her hands on the glass, opened her eyes wide, and took in the scenery on the other side of the glass!

In the snow-covered venue, a group of large black and white penguins waddled and lined up to jump into puddles.

It is endearing, comical, and adorable.

This is the first time Zixiao has ever seen a penguin!

She turned around and called out to Yu Zhe, letting out a series of exclamations.

"Brother, come quick! Wow... Look at that penguin, isn't it just as adorable as Little Lychee!"

"Pfft... No, the penguin didn't deserve this. Let's leave it some dignity."

Is it as cute as a little lychee?

How silly must it be!

Is it possible to slip and fall while walking on flat ground?

Just when Yu Zhe thought it was impossible, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the tourists around him.

I turned my head and looked inside the venue.

Goodness, the penguins that Zixiao was looking at were just lining up properly a moment ago.

In the blink of an eye, he actually performed a fall on flat ground!

It was bad enough that it fell down, but the real problem was that it continued to slide forward on the flat surface and cut in line, sliding directly into a puddle!

Silly penguins are lucky!

Ah, this...

Indeed, Zixiao is right, this is simply the little lychee of the penguin world!

It seems that Zixiao really likes penguins.

Her pretty little face was almost pressed against the glass, making Yu Zhe want to take a second look.

Liking something means wanting to share the joy you feel with the person you like, and being eager to do so.
