Due to the so-called bedtime service last night, when I woke up, my mental state was very bad. It took me a while to turn off the alarm clock, as if I was on a slow-acting drug. I put on my uniform like a sleepwalker and left the bedroom. Although I washed my face with cold water, it didn't help much. I was still very sleepy. I yawned and walked to the dining room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Good morning, Brother Yu Jie," Fia sat in the chair and smiled at me.

"Good morning… Fia," I yawned again, and tears came out.

"Brother Yu Jie… you look so sleepy, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah… it's all because…" I almost blurted out the story of last night's bedtime service with Zhiye. I quickly covered my mouth, and Fia looked at me with a puzzled look. I hurriedly made an excuse: "It's all because I ate too much last night and couldn't sleep well."

"Oh… luckily Fia ate less and fell asleep quickly, so I feel very energetic this morning," Fia said briskly.

"Feeling sluggish is really annoying…" I yawned heavily and muttered to myself. Then I looked around and saw Zhiye in her uniform and apron, apparently cooking breakfast, but I didn't see my parents. I asked in surprise, "Fia, where are my parents?"

"Mommy and Daddy?"

"Um…"

"They took the early flight and went on a trip abroad."

"How sudden?"

"Mommy said it's been planned for a long time…" Fia thought for a moment and said.

"So it was for today… But they should have told me even if they took the early flight, I didn't even know when they left," I complained.

"But Brother Yu Jie, you slept so heavily… Mommy said it's not worth waking you up so she and Daddy left after saying goodbye to Fia and Zhiye."

"I didn't expect it to be my own fault."

"No need to blame yourself, Brother Yu Jie… Mommy didn't blame you and told Fia to listen to you."

"So will Fia listen to me?" I asked seriously.

"Brother Yu Jie, of course Fia will listen to you, but you must also be good to Fia... You cannot forbid me from watching TV dramas."

As expected, there were conditions.

"Well, let's see how it goes…"

"Brother Yu Jie… you're so annoying, Fia will also consider whether to listen to you depending on the situation." She got angry with me for not letting her watch TV dramas.

"I'm just trying to help you, Fia," I said earnestly.

"Brother Yu Jie… you're not doing it for Fia's sake, you only want me to do things that I don't like. You're so mean!" Fia's eyes filled with tears.

"Alright… as long as you can finish your homework on time, you can do whatever you want," I really had no choice with Fia, and as a brother, my heart softened.

"Mmm… Fia promises to finish her homework on time. Brother Yu Jie… I love you so much," she cheered up and embraced me.

"Your love is so cheap…" I muttered to myself.

"Jerry… Good morning," Zhiye handed each of us a plate of over-easy fried eggs, looking at me with an ambiguous gaze. It felt like a newlywed couple, and I couldn't help but blush and avoid her gaze.

"Eat your breakfast quickly… or you'll be late," Zhiye put the fried eggs in front of Fia and me, followed by the toasted sandwiches.

Looking at the beautiful, nutritious breakfast, I felt like a nobleman and started eating without any hesitation. It tasted great, and I ate every bit.

"I/Fia am done, thank you for the meal," Fia and I finished eating at the same time and thanked Zhiye gratefully. She smiled, collected the plates, and washed them in the sink.

I was attracted by her dishwashing posture. It felt like she was designed to do these things, so everything was done very standardly.

After washing the dishes, she took off the apron, and I stared in surprise.

"Isn't this… the uniform of Shen Yu Middle School?"

It was hard to recognize just from the sailor suit, but the school emblem on the clothes made it easy to identify. Why was Zhiye wearing my school uniform?

"Jerry, it's time to go out… "

"Brother Yu Jie… Hurry up, or you'll be late for school."

When did Zhiye and Fia, who was carrying a backpack, stand in the hallway, looking like they were ready to leave while I was still in a daze? Although I was puzzled, considering the time pressure, I decided to go to school first and ask Zhiye about it on the way.
