A new semester has begun.

The netizens of the Empire discovered that Ling Luo had also missed the theoretical exam at the end of last semester.

The school's explanation was that Ling Luo was sick.

Does my body always get sick before theoretical exams?

This is too much of a coincidence, too unbelievable!

At the last palace banquet, many netizens did not believe that Ling Luo was absent because of "something" as Ye Xingxue said.

Now that they've seen this, they're even more suspicious that Ling Luo's decision not to participate in the practical exam last year wasn't her original intention.

The voices of doubt online are growing louder.

Even so, neither the royal government nor Yexingxue has given a direct response to this matter.

However, on Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo's wedding anniversary, Ye Xingxue posted a message: Happy second anniversary.

This time, there are no accompanying pictures.

Ye Xingxue rarely posts updates online.

In the year between our wedding anniversary last year and this year, he only posted two updates.

In other words, he only posted two updates to celebrate his wedding anniversary.

The two posts were posted right next to each other. When netizens took a look, they found that the two posts were posted at the same time, except for the year.

In other words, both of these posts by Ye Xingxue were posted at the exact moment!

When Ye Xingxue posted the update, she was busy working in the villa at the school.

After posting the update, he ignored what netizens thought, logged out of his personal computer, and went back to doing his own thing.

He had a lot to do today, and by the time he finished, it was quite late.

Ye Zeru and the others arrived at the restaurant near the school on time. After waiting for a while and not seeing Ye Xingxue arrive, they sent him a message to urge him to hurry up.

Night Snow replied to him: "I'll be there in ten minutes."

After sending the message, he turned and went downstairs. Just as he was about to step out of the villa, he suddenly heard Ling Luo's voice: "Are you going out for dinner?"

Ye Xingxue suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around abruptly, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Ling Luo was standing at the kitchen doorway not far away, holding an apple in her hand. She was looking at him while taking a bite of the apple.

As Ye Xingxue watched, she forgot to breathe for a moment.

I feel like I'm dreaming.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ling Luo asked again, "Does not answering mean we're going to eat?"

She frowned: "I want to eat, but the chefs aren't here, and there's nothing good in the fridge."

After saying that, she ate her apple and turned to walk into the kitchen, saying, "Then you go ahead with your work, I'll make some beast meat for myself—"

When Ling Luo said these words, her tone was very calm and natural.

It was as if she had never gone into seclusion.

Night Snow finally realized what was happening.

He slipped into the kitchen.

Ling Luo noticed this and turned back while eating her apple. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Xingxue pushed her aside and kissed her lips, domineeringly stealing her breath.

"Hmm..."

Ling Luo hadn't even swallowed the apple in her mouth when Ye Xingxue kissed her even more deeply.

The disordered breathing sounds were unusually clear in the quiet kitchen.

Ling Luo didn't even know when Ye Xingxue had put the apple in her hand aside.

By the time she realized what was happening, her clothes were already disheveled.

Ye Xingxue picked her up and darted upstairs.

Ling Luo had already seen him use the Flash once.

He was extremely fast back then.

She was quite surprised just now.

Now, seeing that he can easily carry someone away and disappear is even more surprising.

She was just about to discuss this with him when Ye Xingxue placed her on the bed. His tall, imposing body pressed down on her, holding her small face, his breathing heavy, and said, "Luo Luo, I don't want to talk about this right now."

Although she didn't say anything, he knew what she was thinking.

Ling Luo: "Oh, okay..."

Ye Xingxue gently kissed her lips: "Luo Luo, are you hungry?"

Ling Luo shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

She just hadn't eaten in a long time and wanted to eat.

Ye Xingxue smiled: "That's good."

He had originally planned that if she got hungry, he would feed her some nutritional fluids to tide her over.

He'll make up for the fancy meal she wanted in a few days.

Since she's not hungry right now...

His smile deepened, but his gaze remained fixed on her, never wavering. He said, "I did want to go out for dinner earlier, but I don't need to now."

"Um?"

Ling Luo didn't understand what he meant, but as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xingxue said with a smile, "Because now I want to eat something even more delicious."

When Ye Xingxue spoke, the desire and longing in her eyes could no longer be hidden, nor did she want to hide them.

He embraced her, pressed his body against hers, and, unable to resist for even a second, kissed her lips once more.
