It's like a palace intrigue story.

The nobles were in high spirits, but the other specially admitted students were not so happy.

They painstakingly dressed themselves up to be their most beautiful, but when they competed against Lin Xue on the same stage, the nobles didn't even spare them a glance.

Lin Xue didn't even wear makeup; her natural beauty outshone everyone else.

They were angry as they looked at Lin Xue's photos, but at the same time, they were secretly amazed at how beautiful she was.

This cycle of jealousy and amazement continued.

Unbeknownst to me, my heart has already quietly become twisted.

Yin Tianxing, wearing super short shorts, propped his feet, which were clad in slippers, on the table and cursed, "Damn it!"

Despite the meticulously designed makeup, it couldn't even touch a single hair on Lin Xue's head.

He stared intently at Lin Xue's photo, wishing he could bore a hole through it.

Lin Xue was receiving a package at that moment.

At first, he thought it was some new type of scam, but after asking around, he found out that it was actually sent to him by Grandma Linda from Manda Store.

This was the first time he had ever received a gift from someone.

Lin Xue never expected that her simple act of helping someone with a small favor would result in the other party sending her something.

The tomatoes, dried during the harvest season, are bright red and have already been cut open. They are soaked in plenty of olive oil and placed directly between two slices of bread. Add some cheese, and you can make a sandwich.

There are also a few jars of refreshing lemon liqueur.

The letter said that this was a thank-you gift she was sending to Lin Xue to express her gratitude for her help.

"Are you getting used to the climate in Shilan? I've heard that people often experience acclimatization issues and loss of appetite when they go to a new place, and that sour foods are more appetizing."

At the end of the letter, she shyly reminded Lin Xue, asking her not to forget to send her a postcard—she would pay for the shipping.

Seeing that the other person seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to say it directly, Lin Xue's lips curved slightly.

He unscrewed the jar and tasted a piece.

Shilan's tomatoes are large and red, with a strong flavor. After being dried, they have a firm and chewy texture, and the sweet and sour taste lingers in your mouth for a long time after you take a bite.

There was also lemon wine. Lin Xue took a small sip, and the fruity aroma filled the air, making her feel as refreshed as if she had fallen into a sea of ​​lemons.

Lin Xue put everything into the refrigerator, preparing to hoard it like a squirrel and savor it slowly.

He's finally got his summer lunch sorted out.

During holidays, Lin Xue really dislikes eating breakfast. So she often only eats dinner, and she's unwilling to cook a simple meal. She usually just buys a sandwich from a convenience store and makes do.

Grandma Linda's package saved him from his immediate crisis.

After that, Lin Xue would crack two raw eggs onto a slice of Jessen black bread every day, bake it in the oven until it was crispy and fragrant, and then sandwich it with two slices of dried tomato.

Paired with wild vegetables picked from the field next to the hostel, and a salmon salad made with canned goods, plus a little yogurt as a dressing, it smoothed out the dry texture.

Drink a little bit of bitter, sour, and astringent lemon wine, and pair it with two sliced ​​hard-boiled eggs to replenish protein and prevent muscle loss.

—Mom, I really want to eat your cooking! (Runs over quickly)

—Shut up, this isn't food! It's just fast food. (I'll take a bite too.)

—Oh, my little princess, what are you eating?

Why eat that coarse and vulgar black bread? Its rough texture is not suitable for someone with delicate skin and a pampered upbringing like you.

When I first tasted black bread, I cried immediately, feeling like I was eating coarse feed.

Mom, how did I turn into a pony?

I didn't become a human at the top of the food chain to eat chaff.

The rough, prickly texture and the rotten, sour taste reminded me of the fate of oppressed workers and black slaves.

I felt like I was no longer a person, but a cow, a horse, a donkey being pulled on a millstone, its skin bruised and bloodied from being rubbed by the reins.

It cried out pitifully under the slave owner's whip.

This bread, born of hardship and suffering, made me instantly believe in communism.

I understand why the empire was destined to be overthrown.

Lin Xuele is eating so heartily, is he a rainbow pony?

—No, this stuff is probably just too awful. Even if he were a master of pretense, he couldn't stomach it.

The reason for cracking raw eggs onto this stuff before baking it is to remove any strange smell.

Otherwise it will be damp and sour.

I can't believe I know such a life hack.

I thought he never lifted a finger.

Aren't people who look beautiful and capable usually clueless about life, creating a cute contrast between their strong abilities and their need for care in reality?

To be honest, this style was popular a long time ago and is now a bit outdated.

She knows how to live a good life, cooks delicious meals for herself, and takes excellent care of herself – she's such a charming and capable homemaker.

—Yes, beautiful and capable people can easily solve all the problems in life.

This is our boss.

There is always room for maneuver in everything we do.

I don't need any nannies to climb the social ladder through my child, okay? Don't fantasize about some idiot tycoon who eats your cooking and accepts your care and suddenly becomes the boss. That kind of fantasy is impossible. (Other nobles, stay away from me!)

—That puts my mind at ease. Although I didn't have a chance, neither did anyone else.

If no one succeeds, it's the same as everyone succeeding.

Haters secretly chatted in private:

—Have you seen what Lin Xue eats every day?

—She is a happy little woman who has prepared a table full of food and is waiting for her beloved husband to come home.

—More like a poisonous woman waiting to poison her husband to death.

—A petri dish for patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Seeing what he was eating, I instantly lost my appetite. Thank you, my years-long craving for pork is cured.

—Isn't he an Easterner? Maybe he's practicing immortality and fasting.

Is this food for humans to eat?

I can't eat any more. (Hugs my crispy biscuit)

—This is what female celebrities are like.

—I'm so upset! These gold diggers are working so hard to seduce the Celestial Dragons, while you fat girls are still lying in bed scrolling through your phones? Get up and do some Pilates right now!

With his professional ethics, would you be uglier than him?

If you continue down this path, be careful that when you get old and lose your beauty, no one will want you even if you go to the red-light district to work!

—Lin Xue pretended not to care about the Celestial Dragons, but she was secretly pleased!

She smiles gently on her face, but in reality she looks down on everyone; she's just trying to maintain her approachable persona.

Green tea subtly seduces people.

—Who knows, Lin Xue's personality is definitely not what he appears to be on the surface.

He looks very sweet and smiles at you.

In reality, he doesn't care about anyone's opinion at all.

She's an arrogant princess.

Who understands the look in your eyes?

"This princess has condescended to come to the mortal realm; you lowly commoners, why don't you kneel down at once?"

His fans also say he's a vicious yet sweet chaebol heiress.

Helping the underprivileged is merely a way to satisfy one's sense of superiority and look down on others.

Just like a gang leader's daughter personally distributing relief food to the poor, she may seem like a kind-hearted young lady, but in reality, she's just trying to win people over so that the poor can better serve her.

Lin Xue's relief efforts were merely a means to win their hearts.

However, when they were about to offer their one and only heart, he simply walked away like a cat that had brushed against their leg.

It's as if all your feelings just now were an illusion, and that you were just being delusional.

What a wicked woman who manipulates people's hearts; she deserves to be severely punished.

—Where did I get this for?

Are you talking about Lin Xue? Is this the same Lin Xue I know?

Isn't he supposed to be a very approachable and handsome guy? He does look like a pretty young man, but he's not effeminate either.

I didn't see anything arrogant about him at all (scratching head)

The "hot dog" has been kicked out of the secret room.

Passionate Hot Dog: Strange, really strange.

These days, even Kuroko Mai's character design is more captivating than Pink Mai's.

Who are the haters and who are the fans?

—Who pulled the passerby in?

—Oh, sorry, my hand slipped just now.

—Add another layer of password.

In the following days, Lin Xue looked at the scenic spots described in her notes and went up the mountain to watch the sunrise.

He originally went up the mountain under the cover of night, but by the time he reached the summit, the sky was already turning white.

He witnessed firsthand how the sunlight was no longer suppressed beneath the mountains, and how the warm, orange-yellow light slowly illuminated his surroundings, while the breeze that blew up also became much warmer.

He fell backward onto the thick, fluffy meadow, smelling the fresh scent of the grass and the sweet fragrance of the wildflowers in full bloom.

It was like a silent film being projected on a giant screen, with the sky constantly undergoing subtle changes.

However, people who rush about like a wheel never have time to notice.

The beauty lies not in the sunrise itself, but in the leisure of having time to watch it, no matter the time of day.

In the flow of time, I squander it as I please, watching the sun slowly rise like a pet I've raised.

They became the masters of their own lives and the masters of the world.

At that moment, Lin Xue's gaze fell upon a person who was sketching.

Beside him was a bamboo basket filled with mushrooms of various colors.

It's clear they just came back from picking mushrooms.

The wind blew across the lawn, creating waves.

The orange-yellow sunrise, like a soft veil, adds a halo to the earth.

Chesia was painting in the snow.

In the picture, Lin Xue has an extremely healing smile on her face, bathed in bright light, making her appear holy and beautiful.

It exudes a faint divine aura.

Seeing his smile makes me feel like all my sins have been forgiven.

Chesia named this floral arrangement "Our Lady of Flowers".

"Our Lady of Flowers," "Goddess," "Baby," "Mimosa"—Chesia wanted to use every description that would give anyone goosebumps to describe Lin Xue.

He is a divine being who will inevitably be defiled by the mortal world.

Chesia held her paintbrush and observed secretly.

What kind of expression will Lin Xue make when she sees herself secretly following him here?

Angry, disgusted, entangled yet trying to remain calm, fear and panic?

However, to his surprise, when Lin Xue passed by him, she treated him like an ordinary classmate, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.

His "accidental encounter" did not seem to have any impact on Lin Xue.
