"By the way, Xiaoke, why did you think of coming to me?"

As the only daughter of this generation of the Ye family, Ye Lingling was raised according to extremely high standards since she was a child. Not only does she have high literacy, but she also has a relatively mature view of the world.

Therefore, she was actually aware of Xue Ke's inner awkwardness during this period, and she could probably guess the reason for Xue Ke's awkwardness.

Probably because of her current status as the prince's fiancée.

The sudden change in the identity of a good friend may be really difficult for Xue Ke, a little girl in adolescence, to adjust to and accept...

Ye Lingling is a bit older than Xue Ke, and because of the Ye family's special status in Tiandou, her years of traveling among the various clans in Tiandou makes her much more mature than her friends.

Although Xue Ke is indeed very good as a princess, but compared to the true noble elite children of Tiandou, she may still be a little bit behind.

This is not surprising, because although Xue Ke is working very hard to enrich himself and try to keep up with Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe, under the protection of the imperial power, Xue Ke can save a lot of trouble and "experience".

And because Tiandou City is the power center of the Tiandou Empire, all kinds of undercurrents are surging, and powerful people are everywhere. Even if the family is prominent, the brainless noble children cannot stay in this city.

Because in order to reduce trouble, most of the "wine bags and rice bags" will be transferred out of Tiandou City by their families and go to the family's sphere of influence in other cities, so as not to cause unmanageable trouble at the feet of the emperor.

It is better to do less than to do more.

Of course, this situation is not absolute, because not all wine bags and rice bags are worthless. Some dandies in Tiandou City will gather around the biggest "trash" in the empire, indulge in sexual activities, and contribute to the family's role in maintaining relations with the royal family.

And the biggest "waste" in this empire is naturally Xue Ke's most despised brother, Xue Beng.

So generally speaking, most of the powerful disciples left in Tiandou Imperial City are first-class human beings, and Xue Ke is still a little inferior compared to them.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing, because it means that Xue Ke is happier and more innocent than other people of the same age in the Imperial City.

"...Lingling...Actually, I'm here to apologize to you."

Xue Ke waved her hands in front of her uneasily, and the smile on her face was a little nervous. She was really afraid that her best friend would drift away from her because of her awkward mood some time ago.

After hearing Xue Ke's words, Ye Lingling's mouth opened in an "O" shape, looking very surprised.

"Apologise to me?" Ye Lingling, who was familiar with Xue Ke, blinked and quickly thought about the reason.

"Are you hiding from me because you were afraid to see me some time ago?"

Ye Lingling's eyes were blinking, which made Xueke's eyes a little wandering.

"That's right..." Xue Ke wrinkled her nose, "Because you suddenly changed from my best friend to my soon-to-be sister-in-law, I didn't know how to face you all of a sudden, and I became indifferent and alienated from you."

Xue Ke stood up from his seat, put his hands in front of him, and then bowed to Ye Lingling!

"I'm sorry, Lingling!"

Xue Ke's sudden move made Ye Lingling a little shocked, because no matter how good the relationship was, Xue Ke was the daughter of the emperor and had a distinguished status. Not everyone could bear her bow.

Not to mention Ye Lingling in the future, at least for now, it is difficult for Ye Lingling, who is not yet the official Crown Princess, to bear this.

Quickly turning sideways to avoid Xue Ke's bow, Ye Lingling immediately stepped forward to pick up Xue Ke's body and straighten her up.

Instructing the waiter next to him to clean up the broken flowers and plants that he had just brought because he was too surprised, Ye Lingling pulled Xue Ke and sat down on the chair again:

"Xiao Ke, what were you doing just now! Remember that you are a princess and you cannot bow casually!"

Ye Lingling's brows were furrowed and her tone was very serious. She was lecturing a princess of a country as if she was lecturing a child. She was completely unaware that teaching a princess of a country at this moment did not seem to be particularly in line with the regulations.

After hearing Ye Lingling's words, Xue Ke breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

It seems that Lingling is still the same as before, and there is no resentment or alienation because of her previous attitude.

With a naive smile on her face, Xueke hid her thoughts in her heart and covered her ears with both hands:

"Okay, okay, I understand. Lingling, please stop preaching. Isn't it okay that I was wrong? I apologize whether it was for evading you before or for bowing just now!"

A slight smile appeared on Ye Lingling's face, and she shook her head: "Just pay attention next time. As for before... To be honest, I was a little sad at first, but I quickly figured it out and generally understood your thoughts.

, so it’s not that sad.”

"We are best friends, always have been, and always will be. So no need to apologize, I'm here."

Ye Lingling stretched out her arms and hugged Xue Ke gently, and said in a gentle tone.

Valley is

"Ling Ling..." Feeling the warmth on the other side, Xue Ke felt like she wanted to cry a little bit.

Loosening his embrace, Ye Lingling looked at his friend with a smile on his face: "Actually, I knew that you would figure it out sooner or later, so I have been waiting for you. But according to my original understanding of you, you

Shouldn't we have to worry about it for a while longer? Why do we have to think about it now?"

Ye Lingling's words made Xue Ke's face a little uneasy. It turned out that all his entangled thoughts were written on his face, and others could understand it at a glance...

"...Well...Actually, I figured it out after being enlightened by that guy Fan Yun... No matter what identity you have in the future, you are still Ye Lingling, and Ye Lingling is my best friend, Xue Ke.

"

"It doesn't matter your identity, it's just because it's you."

"And I feel relieved that you will be my future sister-in-law! At least, I don't have to worry about my brother being hurt by a bad woman!"

Xue Ke's smile at this time was from the bottom of her heart, and Ye Lingling could see it.

"Master Fan..." Ye Lingling murmured, "Why would he enlighten you? I remember that your relationship is not as good as this, right?"

When talking about this, Xue Ke's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and she slowly told her the stupid things she had done.

"Ah~ you dragged Mr. Fan into the palace? And then he gave you some guidance?"

After listening to Xue Ke's narration, Ye Lingling's face was full of surprise.

She really didn't expect that the situation would unfold like this.

"Yes, he said that I am my brother's sister, which means I am his sister. It is natural for my brother to help his sister with psychological counseling." Xue Ke roughly repeated what Fan Yun said at that time.

Recalling what happened when Fan Yun and Xue Qinghe came to see her some time ago, Ye Lingling somewhat believed Xue Ke's explanation.

The relationship between Fan Yun and Xue Qinghe is indeed very good, Ye Lingling can see it.

"Fan Yun...what kind of person is he..."

After thinking about what he heard and saw, it was difficult for Ye Lingling to piece together a complete image in his mind.

Some people say he is a despairing monster, some say he is a genius full of knowledge, some say he is a silent darkness, some say he is a teacher who sets an example for others, and some say he is a pretty boy with a bright appearance...

And what he saw and what Xueke said seemed to be another easy-going and warm boy.

So what kind of person is this Yun Zhongjun?

Ye Lingling didn't know either. It seemed that he was like countless fragments in the eyes of the world. Everyone could only see one side of him, and thousands of people had thousands of faces.

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Xue Ke recalled Fan Yun's half-smiling expression when he first opened his mind:

"I think that Fan Yun is probably a capable fun-loving person... I always feel that he was willing to tease me just because he thought it was fun..."

"Besides, why do you care what kind of person he is?"

Xue Ke's face showed some vigilance at the right time.

There was a bit of a wry smile on Ye Lingling's face, then she took the flowers brought by the waiter and changed the topic:

"Xiao Ke, do you want to see my newly learned overdose treatment?"

"Okay, okay!"

…

Shrek Academy, on the grass in front of the small dormitory building.

Fan Yunzheng was wearing sunglasses and lying on the grass with the big cat who also wore sunglasses, basking in the sun.

"Aqiu~"

Without any warning, Fan Yun sneezed suddenly.

Touching his nose, Fan Yun tilted his head:

"Does anyone miss me?"
