Half an hour later.

The awards ceremony has finally come to an end.

As Ye Xingxue had instructed, Ling Luo, along with Xia Lin and the others, stood outside the gymnasium waiting for him and Yan San.

As the students filed out of the gymnasium, they all stared at Ling Luo as they passed by.

But given her current status, no one dared to approach and disturb her.

Just then, Xia Lin saw Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu walking out of the gymnasium.

He paused for a moment, and when he saw Ling Luo looking in that direction, he immediately pulled her aside to distract her.

But Ling Luo had already met Luo Yi's gaze.

Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu were also surprised that Ling Luo was still there.

They paused almost imperceptibly.

Seeing this, the other students instantly turned into onlookers, all stopping in their tracks in unison.

The moment Ling Luo saw Luo Yi, she felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

But for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen her before, so she didn't think much of it and looked away.

To Luo Yi and the other onlookers, her behavior meant that Ling Luo was treating Luo Yi as if she didn't exist.

Luo Yi paused for a moment, and this time, she really stopped in her tracks.

Upon seeing this, all the onlookers gasped.

Ye Xingyu didn't notice anything amiss, but seeing Luo Yi stop, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Luo Yi didn't answer, but looked at Ling Luo.

Luo Yi was looking directly at Ling Luo, and the way she looked at other passersby was different. Ling Luo noticed this, turned her head back, and met her eyes again: "Is there something you need?"

Before Luo Yi could answer, someone in the crowd said, "His Highness the Crown Prince has come out!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo and Luo Yi both looked away and turned to look at Ye Xingxue.

Ye Xingxue saw Ling Luo first, and then noticed Luo Yi standing to the side.

Seeing the two of them standing face to face, he walked over to Ling Luo and stood with her, facing Luo Yi, and asked her and Ye Xingyu, "We're planning to go out for dinner, do you want to come along?"

Ye Xingxue's tone and expression when she said this were perfect and flawless.

But Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu, who knew his personality well, could tell that he was just being polite.

I didn't really mean to invite them to dinner.

Luo Yi withdrew her gaze and shook her head slightly: "No, we have other things to do."

Night Snow said calmly, "Okay."

Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu turned and left. A short while later, they boarded the aircraft and left the school.

Ye Xingxue turned back and said, "Let's go eat."

Ling Luo suddenly remembered something: "Didn't the principal just say that we should go to his office after the commendation ceremony?"

“There’s something going on at the border, and he has to go there immediately to deal with it. He’s already left the school.”

"oh."

"Let's go." With that, Ye Xingxue took Ling Luo's hand and walked towards the aircraft parked to the side.

Ling Luo glanced at the hand he was holding.

Ye Xingxue seems to particularly enjoy holding her hand lately.

She still felt something was off about it.

I still don't get used to it.

However, before she could say anything, Ye Xingxue had already pulled her onto the aircraft.

After sitting down, she thought of Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu, and asked Ye Xingxue with some curiosity, "Were those two your friends just now?"

The snow stopped as we traveled at night.

Yan San and Xia Lin were both stunned.

Ling Luo was bewildered by their incredulous reaction: "What's wrong?"

Did she say something strange?

What's wrong?

Luo Yi and Ye Xingyu are well-known not only in the Empire, but also throughout the entire intergalactic world.

It's impossible for most people not to recognize them!

And they have a special relationship with Ye Xingxue.

As the Crown Princess of Ye Xingxue, she didn't even know who they were.

this……

This is absolutely outrageous!

Yan San and Xia Lin both suffered heart attacks.

I wanted to say something, but the night snow was still there.

If he doesn't say anything, how dare they speak up?

For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Xingxue.

Although Ye Xingxue already knew that Ling Luo only had a superficial understanding of many things, he was truly surprised that she didn't even know what the relationship was between Luo Yi, Ye Xingyu, and him.

He covered his face helplessly: "The girl just now was named Luo Yi, and she was my ex-fiancée. The boy just now was named Ye Xingyu, and he was my half-brother."

Ling Luo never expected that Ye Xingxue had this kind of relationship with them.

Upon hearing this, she suddenly remembered why they looked somewhat familiar.

She had seen them on her first day of school.

but……

Remembering the reason she married Ye Xingxue, she narrowed her eyes dangerously: "It was them?!"

Ling Luo's words seemed nonsensical, but Ye Xingxue knew what she was thinking: "They shouldn't have been involved."

Those who manipulated everything behind the scenes were the elders of those families.

Ling Luo curled her lip: "Oh."

Even if they didn't know what Ling Luo meant at first, after hearing this, Xia Lin and the others roughly understood what it meant.

However, Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo didn't continue, nor did they dare to ask any more questions.

Ye Xingxue is well-known, and when she goes out to eat, she chooses restaurants with high privacy to avoid being disturbed, and she always chooses a private room.

This time was no exception.

Ling Luo likes to eat meat.

After receiving the menu, I ordered several steaks.

Seeing Ling Luo being so "bold" in front of Ye Xingxue, Xia Lin and the others covered their faces, wanting to remind her to be more refined.

Ling Luo noticed their strange expressions and asked, "What happened to your faces?"

Xia Lin and the others: "..."

Don't ask, the answer is just that I'm mentally exhausted.

Ye Xingxue took the menu, smiled, and asked, "Is that enough? Want to order a few more?"

Ling Luo took a sip of water and casually said, "That's about enough. Order more if you need more."

Ye Xingxue smiled and said, "Okay."

Xia Lin and the others: "..."

When the food was served, there was a pile of plates filled with steak in front of Ling Luo.

Xia Lin and the others were shocked. Before they could say anything, Ye Xingxue quietly brought over a plate and gracefully and slowly cut the steak into small pieces. She placed the plate in front of Ling Luo after she finished eating.

Ling Luo paused, her small mouth agape as she nibbled on her steak: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry yet, you eat first."

"oh."

Ling Luo didn't think twice, nodded, and accepted Ye Xingxue's service as a matter of course.

Xia Lin and the others were already very nervous when facing Ye Xingxue, and eating with him made them even more nervous.

They were even more nervous during meals, barely daring to breathe, afraid that their eating manners would be too unsightly and disturb Ye Xingxue's meal. They ate extremely slowly.

And... I didn't dare to eat much at all.

Upon seeing this, they immediately looked at each other in bewilderment.

Upon seeing this, Yan San quickly put down his utensils. "Your Highness, I—"

Before she could even finish saying "come," Ye Xingxue narrowed her eyes and glanced over.

Yan San immediately shut up.

Ye Xingxue then looked away and continued cutting steak for Ling Luo.
