Watching his hurried departure, I didn't have the courage to chase after him.
When people are down, wine tastes especially good. Ling Shuang and I shook off the guards and found this secluded tavern so they wouldn't find us.
Two heartbroken girls got completely drunk inside.
Ling Shuang's cheeks flushed red from drinking, and her consciousness became somewhat hazy.
They mistook me for Ling Ran and pointed at me, saying, "It's your honor that this princess has taken a liking to you. Why are you refusing this princess!"
"You confessed your feelings to Ling Ran?"
What is a confession?
"Reveal your true feelings!"

I met him at Brother Ye's hero recruitment event.
Many people came to participate in the Heroes' Gathering. At that time, Ling Ran was still very young and stood on the stage with only a surge of courage.

"The salary for becoming a prince's bodyguard is very high!" he said frankly.
Ling Shuang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed; it turned out it was all about money: "Are you short of money?"
"Your Highness, my mother is ill and urgently needs money!"
"You should know that if you hadn't won, you would have been beaten to death!"
"If I can't win the money to pay for my mother's medical treatment, she will die. If I can't even save my own mother, I might as well die here!"
