But they didn't notice anything amiss.

Currently, they all believe that Lin Yushen's team encountering the beast tide was just an accident.

Similarly, he also thought that Lin Yushen's claim that Ye Xingxue and the others encountered a beast tide was just an accident, not due to human factors.

Lin Yushen naturally understood what Teacher Lin Yushen was saying.

But it was precisely because he understood this that he was unwilling to accept it.

He was even more unwilling when he saw that Ye Xingxue and his team hadn't been eliminated, while his team's name was clearly marked as 'eliminated'.

His face was extremely pale, and he kicked the sleep pod hard.

——

at the same time.

Bai Ying's personal computer beeped as she was dozing off.

The sound was very soft.

The sudden noise disturbed Ling Luo, who was reading a book.

However, Ling Luo didn't take it to heart.

Just as she was about to continue reading, Bai Ying was awakened by a sound from her personal terminal and answered Gu Huan's call request.

When he heard Gu Huan say that Lin Yushen's team had been eliminated, he was so shocked that he immediately woke up: "Really? Their team was really eliminated?!"

After saying that, he went to check the rankings without waiting for Gu Huan to speak.

Hearing Bai Ying's surprised voice, Ling Luo guessed that they were talking about Lin Yushen's team.

Ling Luo didn't pay any attention and was about to continue reading.

But then she paused.

She glanced at the time; it was already past eight. She paused, then belatedly realized that Ye Xingxue hadn't contacted her last night…

This was the first time Ye Xingxue hadn't contacted her since the start of their assessment.

However, she didn't think much of it, assuming he was just tired.

Then, he continued reading.

They watched for an entire night.

She didn't come out of the tent until dawn to eat the meat of the strange beast.

By this time, even the school had learned that Lin Yushen had been eliminated.

Everyone immediately shared the news with her.

Ling Luo replied calmly, "Yes, I already know."

No one thought much of it, assuming that she had overheard their discussion in the tent.

On the other side.

Night Snow didn't sleep well last night.

He's not in a good mental state.

When he woke up, he heard Ye Zeru and the others say that Lin Yushen had withdrawn from the competition. He was stunned for a moment: "Eliminated?"

"yes."

Ye Zeru's face could only be described as beaming with joy.

He laughed and said, "This is probably what people mean when they say that those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. He probably never dreamed that we wouldn't be eliminated in the end, but that he would be the one eliminated first, hahaha~"

Gu Huan: "Their team only got a little over 10,000 points yesterday, which means they're probably eliminated this morning, hahaha~"

Hearing this, Ye Xingxue's mood didn't improve much.

I didn't go online to specifically check on Lin Yushen's situation.

However, he was still very concerned about Lingluo's team's points.

He specifically checked Lingluo's team's points.

He paused for a moment when he discovered that their team had earned more than 100,000 more points yesterday than the day before.

Ye Xingxue has been in a bad mood since yesterday.

Ye Zeru and the others thought that Ye Xingxue should have been happy last night.

They were all stunned when they saw that even the good news of Lin Yushen's elimination couldn't bring a smile to Ye Xingxue's face.

Ye Zeru: "Cousin, didn't you contact your wife last night?"

They were quite tired yesterday and rested quickly.

They really didn't know whether Ye Xingxue had contacted Ling Luo.

Night Snow shook its head.

Ye Zeru and the others were taken aback: "Your cousin-in-law... hasn't contacted you either?"

Night Snow shook its head.

"Well……"

Ye Zeru: "So... will you contact your cousin-in-law again later?"

Ye Xingxue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Contact me."

"oh……"

They all grew up with Ye Xingxue.

Generally speaking, if any woman dared to ignore Ye Xingxue like this and make her feel so wronged, they would have already been outraged.

However, they didn't have such thoughts when facing Ling Luo.

They all just wanted to live happily ever after.

Ye Xingxue sat down and ate the meat of the strange beast, without saying another word.

Because everyone knew he was in a bad mood.

No one else spoke.

Night Snow was in a bad mood and ate less of the exotic beast meat.

After putting down the bowl, he went into the tent and contacted Ling Luo.

By this time, Ling Luo and the others had finished eating the beast meat.

When he contacted her, Ling Luo answered the call casually.

When the call was answered, Ye Xingxue did not speak immediately.

I just looked at her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Luo asked him, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xingxue shook her head: "Ready to set off?"

"Um."

Night Snow said, "So are we."

Ling Luo: "Mm."

Night Snow fell silent.

He didn't say anything more.

But they didn't say they wouldn't talk anymore.

Seeing this, Ling Luo finally realized that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

She looked at him, puzzled: "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Yushen's team has been eliminated, and he has received the news. He should be happy, shouldn't he?

Ye Xingxue didn't answer, but looked at her and asked instead, "You... went to bed very early last night?"

She didn't contact him, perhaps...

That's probably why.

However, just as he was thinking this, Ling Luo shook her head and said, "No."

She didn't sleep last night.

Seeing that he was still unhappy, Ling Luo couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yushen was eliminated, aren't you happy either?"

Night Snow: "Happy."

However, compared to her, this little bit of happiness seemed insignificant.

Ling Luo frowned: "I can't tell."

In the past, when Ye Xingxue spoke to her, no matter what happened, she almost always had a smile on her face.

But this time, she noticed that he didn't smile at all.

Night Snow paused for a moment.

Before he could speak, Ling Luo asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

Ye Xingxue stared intently at her: "I...didn't contact you yesterday."

Ling Luo nodded: "I know."

Night Snow fell silent.

He deliberately didn't contact her last night.

He just wanted to see if she would contact him.

He wanted to find out through this incident whether she truly cared about him.

However.

The truth is, she didn't contact him.

He contacted her this morning, but she didn't ask him why he hadn't contacted her.

It seemed that whether he contacted her or not made no difference to her...

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and after a long while said, "It's getting late, shall we talk again at noon?"

Ling Luo looked at him: "You're not happy."

Before Ye Xingxue could speak, Ling Luo asked him, "Are you in the tent right now?"

Ye Xingxue, not knowing why she asked that, replied, "Hmm."

Ling Luo said, "Don't go out, wait for me."

After saying that, he exited the personal terminal without waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Xinghe and the others were watching them while they were chatting.

She stood up and said, "We'll leave later today."

Jiang Xinghe and the others nodded blankly: "Okay, okay, Crown Princess."

"Um."

On the other side.

Night Snow had no idea what Ling Luo was up to.

However, she told him to wait a moment, so he waited and didn't go out.

They were about to set off.

But knowing that he was chatting with Ling Luo, Ye Zeru and the others didn't urge him.

Ye Xingxue waited in the tent, planning to pack his things while he waited, intending to set off on the hunt as soon as Ling Luo contacted him.

Just as he was thinking this, Ling Luo appeared in front of him.

Night Snow was stunned.

Before he could react, Ling Luo sat down in front of him, looking at him with confusion: "Wasn't Lin Yushen already eliminated? Why are you still unhappy?"

This time, Ye Xingxue realized what was happening: "Luo Luo?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Mm."

He looked at her, reached out, and stroked her little face.

It feels warm to the touch.

It's true.

He didn't say anything more. He went over and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head as if to feel her presence, tentatively and gently kissed the corner of her lips, and then, holding her, smiled.

Ling Luo obediently let him hold her, and seeing him smile, she said, "You're happy now."

Ye Xingxue rested his forehead against hers, looking deeply into her eyes: "Yes, I am very happy."

Ling Luo felt relieved and was about to nod when Ye Xingxue gently asked her, "Luo Luo saw that I was unhappy and came to see me because she was worried about me?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Mm."

Ye Xingxue hugged her tighter, her voice unconsciously becoming a little hoarse: "Luo Luo, I'm sorry."

Ling Luo looked at him, puzzled: "Huh?"

What are you sorry for?

Night Snow: "I was just overthinking things."

Ling Luo: "...Oh."

Although she didn't know what he meant by "daydreaming".

But since he seemed happier, she was relieved.

She nodded: "Then I'll go back first—"

Ye Xingxue kissed her and held her tightly, saying, "Don't go back yet, okay?"

He hadn't hugged her for almost a month.

Now that she's here, he wants to hold her a little longer.

Ling Luo nodded: "Okay."

Looking at the real her, Ye Xingxue couldn't bear to look away.

Ling Luo didn't think she was anything special.

But if he wants to see it, then let him see it.

She had no objection.

What's more, it's quite comfortable to be held by him; he smells nice, which makes me smell even better.

Holding her like this, Ye Xingxue's heart was filled completely, leaving no gaps.

His eyes were only for her, and he said gently, "Won't it be troublesome for Luo Luo to come over like this?"

Ling Luo shook her head: "It's not troublesome."

"Is it... simple?"

Ling Luo: "It's quite simple."

It's pretty simple...

Ye Xingxue paused, then smiled and looked at her: "Did you do what happened to Lin Yushen?"

So, when he sensed someone nearby while they were resting yesterday, it wasn't just his imagination.

That person...

It must be her.

Ling Luo snorted: "He dared to bully you, of course I'll help you bully him back."

Ye Xingxue didn't expect that she would still be so angry when the matter was brought up now.

Seeing this, he realized that her sudden departure yesterday was not because she didn't care about him.

She was so angry that she shut down the personal terminal without saying much and helped him bully the person back...

Whether it's hunting hard or helping him get revenge on those who bullied him.

She has always cared for him in her own way.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingxue gazed at her intently, remaining motionless for a long time.

Ling Luo noticed his gaze and was about to speak when Ye Xingxue suddenly hugged her face and kissed her lips deeply.

Ling Luo was stunned for a moment, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she obediently let him hold her in his arms and slowly responded to his kiss.

Much later.

Ye Xingxue finally slowly released her lips.

He loosened his grip on her slightly, his high, straight nose gently caressing her slender neck as he breathed.

After a while, until the surging emotions in his eyes slowly subsided, he slowly raised his head and restrainedly gave her a light kiss on the lips.

Ling Luo's eyes also became a little more moist.

As she leaned against her chest and her breathing gradually returned to normal, she checked the time and was stunned to find that almost twenty minutes had passed.

She thought that four or five minutes would be enough for her to watch.

Unexpectedly—

She quickly got up from his arms.

But before she could stand up, he picked her up and carried her back.

Seeing him looking at her tenderly, she paused for a moment before saying, "I have to go back..."

Ye Xingxue pecked her forehead: "Yes, I know."

Ling Luo looked at him: "Then..."

Can he let her go and let her leave?

Seeing that he wouldn't let go, Ye Xingxue, though anxious, still obediently let him hold her. He smiled and said, "Luo Luo is such a good girl."

Ling Luo nodded: "Mm."

Then blink.

Does this mean, "I've been so good, are you going to let me go?"

Ye Xingxue laughed and finally let go of her hand.

Ling Luo quickly got up and took out a teleportation array from her storage bag.

The teleportation array remains active.

As soon as she was released, she automatically enlarged and landed on the ground.

She stood up, turned to Ye Xingxue, and said, "I'm leaving now."

Ye Xingxue nodded: "Okay."

Ling Luo seemed to remember something and said, "I have to go hunting at noon to make up for lost time, so I won't chat anymore."

Ye Xingxue: "..."

He was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Okay, I understand."

"Um."

As soon as Ling Luo finished speaking, he disappeared.

She appeared suddenly, and then disappeared just as quickly.

If it weren't for the lingering warmth of her touch on his palm, he might have thought her appearance just now was all a dream...

Just then.

After waiting outside for a long time, Ye Zeru and the others began to get anxious when Ye Xingxue still hadn't come out of the tent.

They couldn't help themselves and came over to call out to him, "Cousin? Are you... alright?"

He hasn't come out for so long, could it be that his cousin's wife said something that upset him?

Ye Xingxue snapped out of her daze: "I'm fine."

As she spoke, Ye Xingxue stepped out of the tent.

Upon seeing him, Ye Zeru and the others hurried over, intending to inquire about his well-being, but paused after noticing his expression: "Are you alright?"

Ye Xingxue nodded: "Mm."

Hearing this, Ye Zeru and the others were finally relieved.

After packing up the tent, Ye Xingxue looked at the others as if she had remembered something: "Just now...did you hear anything?"

They were not far from his tent.

He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he was talking to Ling Luo.

But even if they didn't say anything.

There was suddenly an extra person at the campsite. They should have been able to detect him at such close range.

Judging from their expressions, they seemed to...

They had no idea that Ling Luo had been there.

The others looked at him, puzzled: "What did you hear?"

Hearing this, Ye Xingxue was certain that they truly did not know Ling Luo had been there.

He shook his head: "It's nothing, it's getting late, let's go."

The others were completely baffled.

But I didn't think much of it.

Following Ye Xingxue, we set off on a hunt.
