Ye Lingling's declaration and the system's announcement.
Both arrived simultaneously, seemingly indicating to Qian Renjue that Ye Lingling was serious.
Qian Renjue no longer needed to harbor any doubts.
The warmth on his ear remained.
Ye Lingling seemed to be regulating her breathing, or perhaps waiting for his response.
Qian Renjue's breathing deepened, and he gently nodded.
"Mm, I'll remember."
As his words fell.
On her side profile, his warm lips, carrying a hint of youthful naiveté, slowly pulled away.
Ye Lingling turned her body slightly to the side.
She didn't dare look at the person beside her, instead, she held the iced tea in her hands, sipping it gently.
She finished it quickly.
Yet, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of coolness.
It was as if she could taste the sensation she had just experienced from the tea.
Qian Renjue watched Ye Lingling's reddened earlobes.
He poured another cup of tea, chilled it, and gently pushed it in front of Ye Lingling.
"Ye..."
The address he was about to utter came to a halt.
Qian Renjue pondered, perhaps he should also change, or rather, show some sign of it.
"Ling, Lingling, change the tea, will you?"
"Mm~"
Ye Lingling's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
She lowered her head, her pearly white teeth loosening their grip on the rim of the cup she was biting.
She only used her peripheral vision to take the tea Qian Renjue handed over.
She didn't dare to look at Qian Renjue at all.
"..."
Qian Renjue stared at Ye Lingling's back, silently sipping his tea as well.
After a long while.
Ye Lingling's voice regained some normalcy.
"Just now... just now, you said you were looking for me for something?"
Qian Renjue immediately snapped back to attention.
Looking at the back of Ye Lingling's head, he replied:
"Actually, it's nothing major, I just wanted to formally meet you face-to-face, and then..."
He said that.
Qian Renjue raised his hand and scratched his still-warm face.
Unexpectedly, it seemed he had gotten a bit ahead of himself.
Ye Lingling then remembered that this was the first time they had spoken face to face. And she had just gone and done that so directly.
She unconsciously lowered her head again.
"W-what's next?"
Qian Renjue continued, "I won't be staying here long."
"If you don't mind, I was thinking we could continue chatting through letters?"
Mentioning the letter.
Ye Lingling was still a little scared.
She raised her voice slightly, asking, "Are you going to reply this time?"
"Of course not."
Qian Renjue said without even thinking about it.
"That's good."
Ye Lingling relaxed, and then there was no more movement.
Qian Renjue tentatively asked, feeling at a loss: "Lingling, do you want to go for a walk somewhere together?"
"Next time," Ye Lingling gently shook her head, finally turning to look at Qian Renjue.
She simply put her veil back on.
Hiding the blush and embarrassment on her face.
"It's getting late, I... my mom is waiting for me to eat dinner."
Her soft voice was a little awkward.
Considering Ye Qingshui's successful suggestion, Ye Lingling decided to continue listening to her.
So she wouldn't worry.
It was just that the reason Ye Qingshui had given her made her eyes dart around a little.
"Alright, fine."
Qian Renjue's expression was a little stiff. This reason left him with nothing to criticize.
But he always felt it was a little perfunctory.
"Mmh."
Ye Lingling had just gotten up when the coldness on her chest hit her, making her cover it again. Shame washed over her once more.
Looking at Qian Renjue, she asked in a low voice, "Can, can I change clothes here?"
"Of course."
Qian Renjue nodded and pointed towards the screen in the corner.
"Thank you."
Ye Lingling quickly walked behind the screen.
Qian Renjue breathed a sigh of relief. Although things were moving fast, at least they had made a start.
It should get much better once they were more familiar with each other.
Not long after.
Ye Lingling had redressed and changed back into her usual attire. A black dress and blue hair, giving her a lonely air.
The pair of azure eyes had changed a lot, now showing a few different emotions.
Qian Renjue stood up and said, "I'll see you out."
"Alright."
Ye Lingling replied and walked towards the door, Qian Renjue walking alongside her.
The difference in height was quite obvious.
Beside Qian Renjue, Ye Lingling looked very delicate.
Clang! The door closed tightly.
The entire room was filled with the light from the chandeliers, leaving only the steam rising from the teacups. Qian Renjue left for a moment.
Suddenly, golden light streamed out from the chandelier.
At the same time, there was a subtle movement coming from under the bed against the wall.
Green light spilled out from under the bed.
In an instant.
A head with a light source squeezed out from the panel under the bed.
Whoosh! A golden stream of light transformed into a person and stood still.
Noticing the movement under the bed, he focused his gaze and was immediately stunned.
The strange smile on his face vanished completely.
"Lingyuan?!"
Qian Renxue's surprised voice rang out, answered by a series of whimpers.
"Waaah..."
"..."
Looking at Doulou Lingyuan, who had poked her head out from under the bed, a night pearl in her mouth. Qian Renxue couldn't help but frown.
She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Lingyuan, what are you doing here?"
Glug...
"Miss Xue!"
Lingyuan spat out the night pearl in her mouth and immediately went to answer.
He'd forgotten he was still under the bed.
He lifted his head and immediately bumped it against the wooden planks of the bed frame, letting out a groan.
It seemed he'd hit it pretty hard.
He clutched the back of his head, rubbing it, and buried his face in the carpet.
Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched slightly.
A titled Douluo, acting like this! What a disgrace!
Lingyuan endured the pain, his voice muffled:
"Miss Xue, this subordinate is acting on the orders of Her Holiness, the Pope!"
After she finished speaking.
Doulou Lingyuan raised her head, her eyes seemingly moist.
"Mom?"
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, somewhat relieved, and couldn't help but sneer, complaining: "What kind of mother gives such orders?"
Lingyuan was silent.
She secretly glanced at Qian Renxue. It seemed that the two of them, mother and daughter, were quite similar, weren't they?
But Lingyuan dared not, nor did she want to say more.
This time.
She finally understood Bibi Dong's little pleasures.
The feeling of sneaking around... It was kind of exhilarating! Especially when she was secretly watching His Highness, the Holy Son, on a date, Lingyuan was utterly content.
"Alright, hurry up and come out."
Qian Renxue waved her hand in disdain and then instructed.
"Remember, you didn't see me in this room, and I didn't see you either."
"Understood!"
Doulou Lingyuan immediately nodded.
Qian Renxue didn't say more. With a raise of her hand, a golden flame flew towards the ceiling. Golden strands of hair snapped and burned away.
The Ring of Life descended from the sky, landing in Qian Renxue's hand.
"Snow, Miss Snow..."
The nervous voice of Lingyuan suddenly sounded in her ear.
Qian Renxue turned her head to look, her eyebrows twitching.
"Lingyuan, what are you still doing lying there? Get up quickly."
"Miss Snow, this subordinate is stuck."
Lingyuan's face was flushed, somewhat ashamed, and her mouth was glistening.
"…"
Qian Renxue's lips twitched.
A Titled Douluo? Stuck under a bed? This was utterly ridiculous.
"How did you even get in there?"
"The barrier was too low, so this subordinate lifted the bed board and entered."
Qian Renxue was impatient.
"Then just lift the bed."
"Understood."
Lingyuan nodded and began to exert force, quickly freeing herself from under the bed.
Qian Renxue also saw the paper and pen inside.
And the recorded conversation.
No wonder Lingyuan was biting the night-luminescent pearl.
Wishing you all a happy life!
