The Winter Festival Gala is coming.

The college was filled with a celebratory atmosphere, and the students were able to temporarily break away from their intense study and enjoy the hard-earned three-day holiday.

Colorful triangular flags were hung on ropes, which were then decorated all over the campus by members of the clothing department of the Seven Colors Crown. Circles made of frost green branches were also decorated in the classrooms and corridors. These frost greens were a bright dark green, with small orange or red berries among the branches, which was very tempting.

This plant is evergreen, blooms yellow flowers, and bears fruit in winter. It has beautiful meaning in the folklore of the Western Continent, symbolizing "life and abundance". Later, the Angel Church also included it in the holy scriptures and promoted it as a religious relic.

Although Frost Green is not widely distributed, it is not particularly difficult to cultivate. Nowadays, some gardeners and estates even grow it specifically for people to buy and hang during winter festivals.

"Wow, the holiday is finally here. I can have fun for three days." After walking out of the teaching hall, Alena cheered on the steps. Many students next to her were also talking in low voices. The air was filled with a faint feeling of joy.

Seeing Aliena's unladylike cheering and jumping, Lettice shook her head slightly, then turned around and asked, "Are you going to the restaurant tonight?"

"No need. Bumansha said that their dormitory will prepare a big meal today, so we can just go there directly." Loran Hill shook his head, then walked down the steps with Nia and approached Letty and Alena.

Sizzle——

A black figure accidentally slipped from the steps, fell forward onto the snow and water, then rolled down diagonally, his clothes wrapped in snow and water, and stopped after walking 5-6 meters because he hit Loran Hill's back foot.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry."

He struggled to stand up with his red, frozen fingers supporting himself on the ground. Looking at the girl in black hair and black dress in front of him, the young man who fell down apologized quickly and felt uneasy.

His skin was pale, with thick dark shadows under his eyes, and his eyes were a little red and swollen, as if he had fallen carelessly due to poor sleep.

Oh no, he thought to himself. Judging from the appearance and temperament of this classmate, he must have been born into a wealthy family. Not only did he almost bump into him, but he also soiled his clothes. He was in trouble now.

As he lowered his head in apology, he glanced down again, seeing the black socks soaked in sewage, and he became even more nervous. "Sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"It's okay. Just take more rest. I'm leaving first." A soft and gentle voice came from the front, and then the slender legs slowly left his sight and disappeared in the snowy scene of the winter night.

Is that all? The young man stared at the girl's back in disbelief. After a long moment, he put his hat back on and started walking.

Perhaps to Loran Hill, this was just an ordinary little thing, but that wasn't the case in the world of Ivar. Even in Emenas, which advocated equality and mutual respect, nobles, merchants, or children born into large families rarely interacted with the common people.

Even in the same school and classroom, this invisible barrier still existed. There were many reasons for this. While some aristocratic parents would teach their children to stay away from commoners, the real factor at play was the different upbringings of both sides, which made it difficult for them to find common ground.

In the eyes of the nobles, common people do not follow the rules, often do sneaky things, and most of them have bad behavior.

In the eyes of the common people, most of the nobles are innocent and ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Many rules are set to benefit the nobles. If the common people, whose lives are already difficult, abide by them completely, they will inevitably suffer a lot of losses, and violating certain regulations has become commonplace.

In school life, most students from lower classes would avoid those "nobles" and avoid offending or disturbing those from more privileged backgrounds. If the other person was a beautiful lady from a wealthy family, they would be even more cautious and keep their distance, because you never know if your unintentional actions will arouse the jealousy of secret pursuers.

The children of nobles have their family background to protect them, but commoners cannot avoid making humble apologies. If they are unlucky enough to be held in resentment, they may not have a peaceful life during their time at school.

In the young man's opinion, even if the young lady was kind-hearted and did not want to pursue the matter, given her beauty, it was inevitable that a few flower protectors would come out and use her to establish their authority. After all, you couldn't expect sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys to be rational and calm.

But today is exceptionally peaceful, and everything seems to have ended naturally.

Exhaling and sighing at his good luck, the young man walked towards the library.

At a distant corner, a young man wearing a dark hat stood there and waved his right hand. An attendant quickly walked in from behind him. Judging from the badge on his uniform, he should be a third-year student at Qiaodun Academy.

"Go investigate that man. His name, background, character, etc. We also need to find out whether tonight's incident was an accident or intentional. Everything needs to be investigated thoroughly."

"Yes, cousin Grace." The student left immediately after hearing this. They had their own methods and intelligence networks within the aristocratic circle.

Only after her cousin left did Grace pull down the brim of her hat and continue to follow Loran Hill and his group from a distance.

Although Jelann failed in his pursuit of Loran Hill, it does not mean that others can succeed. If this really happens and Miss Loran becomes a lover with someone else, his days as a younger brother will be over.

At first, Grace also thought that Jelan was just acting on impulse. After all, Miss Loran was indeed extremely beautiful, but there were many beautiful women in Emenas, and perhaps Jelan would soon have a new target.
