Use your fingernail or a sharp knife to pierce the lychee's outer skin and peel it. The rind should come off easily.
Now you can either cut the lychee in half or score the flesh along one side to reveal the seed and remove it. The seed is not edible.
That's it! Now you can enjoy your lychee. Don't worry about the brown membrane that's stuck to the flesh - it's perfectly edible.
