It is really hard to describe what love is, because over the years, countless people have stuffed so many things into it, as if anything becomes great and noble as long as it is covered with the cloth of love.

But that doesn't mean love is a bad thing. It is still one of the purest emotions in human beings, bringing beauty to people's lives. However, this emotion should not be overly deified, and love is not more noble or rare than family affection, friendship, etc.

Looking at the blond youth waving from a distance, Loran Hill tilted his head and thought for a moment before understanding what had happened. Perhaps it was just Jarlan trying to show his goodwill and affection.

"Who sent this? It looks delicious." Lily clapped her hands and looked around, trying to find the person who sent the gift.

"Maybe he wants to win the favor of one of us." Lettice looked at the cake and gave a familiar smile. She often encountered this kind of thing.

"What a rich guy." Aliena wondered how much the cake might be worth.

Ye Ling and Weimiya didn't care much. One was eating the meat slices he had grilled and sticking out his tongue because of the spiciness, while the other was quietly drinking the newly bought juice.

Although Bumansha and Niya were surprised, they felt that it was not a gift for them, so they just watched from the side without saying anything.

"Thank you." Loran Hill put the book into the handbag next to him, then stood up and continued to speak to the two waiters who brought the cake.

"Could you please tell the gentleman who gave me the gift?" Although she was speaking to the waiter, the girl turned her gaze far away into the distance.

Seeing Loran Hill accept the gift calmly and calmly, everyone else looked at her in surprise. Even the usually calm Vimiya and Ye Ling turned their eyes to her.

Does Luo Lan know the person who gave the gift?

Does Sister Luo Lan have a crush on that guy?

No way, is Luo Lan going to fall in love?

They didn't want Luo Lan to get married. The others had their own thoughts and listened attentively to what Luo Lan had to say.

"Miss, please feel free to speak."

The two waiters stood aside a little nervously. They had just been instructed and knew that the person who delivered the gift was the eldest son of the Duke of Griffin, so they were afraid of messing up and being angry with him.

"Thank you for your gift. I will return the favor later, but this is just a greeting between friends. I hope you won't have any other misunderstandings."

Gifts are often exchanged between people. If it's just a simple gift, don't worry too much about it. But if it's a more expensive gift, you should carefully consider whether to accept it.

Some people say, "The other person gave it voluntarily, and I didn't force them, so why can't I accept it?" But this is not true. Expensive gifts often carry a greater emotional weight. Some gifts express the hope that the two of you will become partners, while others express the hope that someone will agree to do something for you.

When you accept a gift, it often means you agree and consent. If you regret it later, those who witnessed you accepting the gift will become invisible pressure if you want to maintain a good image.

Some people think they are simply accepting gifts and no one can care about what happens next. This kind of thing happens frequently, but it will eventually lead to going back on one's word or even cheating.

You even accepted such a valuable gift from me, so you must have agreed to be my lover. Now you are rejecting me again. Are you taking advantage of me? Others will think so, and others will also think this is very dishonest and doubt your character.

Therefore, you must be clear about your thoughts. If you want to refuse, you should not accept the other party's expensive gifts to avoid misunderstandings.

But Loran Hill still accepted it. It’s not that she agreed, but the actual situation was different.

After all, Jelann is the eldest son of the Duke of Griffin. If he refuses rashly, it will be difficult for him to save face among his friends, and it may even cause a conflict.

The nobles' emphasis on appearances wasn't entirely out of habit, but rather a practical necessity. In this era, appearances embodied prestige and authority. Power rested on the individual. If Jerran was repeatedly rejected, or refused to fight back when challenged, he would be seen as a coward, significantly impacting his position as heir. Others would also hesitate to follow him. Could such a coward truly lead them to victory? Would he be subjected to attacks from other factions and forced to retreat?

In fact, the higher the aristocracy, the more they care about face. This is a basic need both inside and outside.

Besides, the value of gifts is relative. A cake that is expensive to ordinary people is not that expensive to Roland or Jelan, so there is no need to object excessively. Roland Hill is confident that he can return a gift of equal value or more, so he accepted it calmly.

However, we must not allow the other party to misunderstand us in order to avoid unnecessary trouble later, so the following explanation is made.

"Loran is so frank..." Nia looked at the generous black-haired girl with admiration in her heart. If it were her, she would probably refuse cautiously and would not dare to accept such kindness.

Lettice also looked at her roommate with a little curiosity. She had experienced many similar things and naturally understood how many hidden traps there were. Many rich young men were like this, using expensive gifts to pressure others. If you don't accept them, it means you look down on me, and if you accept them, it means you agree to me, which puts the girl being pursued in a dilemma.

"We will take it to your address." The two waiters took note and slowly retreated, but this little incident still attracted the attention of some students.

"The girls at that table are all very beautiful, especially the girl in the light yellow dress. She must be the eldest daughter of a certain family."

"I still prefer the petite girl with twin tails. Just looking at her makes me want to hug her."
