Chapter 528 Extra - Eyes
“We don’t care about that.” Prince Ling waved his hand. “I’m in charge here today. Whoever I say should present the awards, that’s who.”
Shu Tong: "..."
"It's settled then. I'll have someone invite you later." Prince Ling looked at her with admiration in his eyes: "Go ahead."
Shu Tong could only curtsy and leave.
Today's opening ceremony went quite smoothly; it was just an awards ceremony for a football match, and we did whatever Prince Ling said.
...
The relay race ended quickly, and for this round of awards, Ling Wang invited Chen Ci and Crown Princess Ye Qingning, who had already changed their clothes and returned.
Looking at the two of them standing together in such a harmonious way, Shu Tong felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.
Haitang, who was behind her, bowed down to comfort her: "My lady, you don't need to worry about this. The important thing is that you and His Highness stayed together last night."
Shu Tong looked up at her: "I didn't mind."
Haitang laughed: "My lady, you can fool others but you can't fool me. I saw that you're almost twisting the handkerchief in your hand to pieces."
Shu Tong looked down and realized that her hands were unconsciously twisting a handkerchief, which was now a complete mess.
She hurriedly loosened her handkerchief: "I was just... having some fun..."
As luck would have it, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the handkerchief she had dropped and sending it fluttering downwards.
Shu Tong thought of getting up to chase after them, but found Chen Ci and Ye Qingning coming up side by side. The two were talking about something, and their eyes seemed to be full of affection when they looked at each other.
Shu Tong felt a pang in her heart and immediately sat up straight.
The handkerchief landed right at Chen Ci's feet; its blue silk surface embroidered with white waves was quite eye-catching.
"Shu Liangyuan's handkerchief," Ye Qingning whispered a reminder.
Chen Ci paused for a moment, then bent down to pick it up. Ye Qingning smiled, about to say something, when she missed a step and fell backward.
At that moment, Chen Ci was just getting up, his gaze fixed on the handkerchief, and naturally he didn't notice Ye Qingning.
After she exclaimed in surprise, by the time Chen Ci reacted and caught her, Ye Qingning had already landed steadily in Chen Song's arms.
"Qingqing, are you alright?"
Ye Qingning looked up and saw the deep worry in Chen Song's eyes.
Then……
He actually called her Qingqing?
Chu Song reacted quickly, adjusting his arm strength to help Ye Qingning up. He then took a step back and stood on the steps, lowering his eyes and bowing his head, appearing extremely respectful.
At least to outsiders, that fleeting contact appeared to be a display of loyalty from a guard.
Chen Ci asked with concern, and Ye Qingning shook her head slightly, but her heart was far from calm.
Chu Song's gaze just now was definitely not innocent.
That tense, worried, and determined look was so much like her Ayan.
But if he is Ayan, then who is Abao?
With mixed feelings, Ye Qingning returned to her seat and sat down. When she looked at Chu Song, he had already stood properly one step behind her.
As for Chen Ci, after sitting down, he did not hand the handkerchief to Shu Tong beside him, but simply played with it casually, gazing at the lifelike waves on the handkerchief.
Until Shu Tong herself couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the handkerchief belongs to me."
Chen Ci raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look over. What he saw was Shu Tong's pretty face. The sunlight fell on half of her face, making her skin look even whiter and more delicate.
It was really strange; Chen Ci felt a tingling sensation in his heart again.
It wasn't exactly comfortable, but it evoked a mix of pleasant and complex emotions.
