Lin Luo, the Enemy of a Lifetime

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's palace, a palace maid brought him a heart-shaped fried egg. When asked where it came from, he said it was from the imperial kitchen.

Lin Luo stared at it for a long time, but didn't dare to eat it, afraid that Qian Renxue would be angry.

However, Qian Renxue stared at the fried egg and pondered for a while, as if she had made up her mind. "Eat it. She didn't make it. With her cooking skills, she can't fry an egg into a heart shape."

Lin Luo took a bite; it wasn't salty! It definitely wasn't made by Bo Saixi.

Qian Renxue's pretty face was tense as she stroked Lin Luo's head and said, "See? She won't even make you a heart-shaped fried egg herself, which proves she doesn't care about you at all. If it were your mother, she would definitely make it for you herself."

Lin Luo looked up. "Can Mom make it?"

"Won't."

Seeing Lin Luo suddenly fall silent, Qian Renxue added as a consolation, "Mom can learn."

I feel like you tried to manipulate me, but failed...

The next day.

College cafeteria.

As Lin Luo passed by the food serving window, he glanced over there and froze for a moment.

Guang Ling, seemingly out of nowhere, plucked a Xiao Hong and very gentlemanly handed it to the lady at window number six next to him.

Here's a Xiao Hong for you, Miss Jiao.

"Give up on that idea already, I'm old enough to be your mother."

Guang Ling smiled but remained silent.

"I'm old enough to be your grandfather..." But he didn't say this aloud; he just stubbornly handed over the Xiao Hong.

These days he's discovered that the "little girl" in the next window is all bark and no bite; although she keeps saying she'll report him, she always quietly cleans up his messes behind his back.

Guang Ling smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, Miss Jiao, I'm simply thanking you for your help these past few days."

Auntie Jiao rolled her eyes, took the Xiao Hong, and retorted, "If only you wouldn't always be stealing food."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "If your family isn't well-off... I can cook for you at home and bring it to you, so you don't have to eat the school food anymore."

"Really?"

Guang Ling, shameless as ever, leaned closer, looking flattered and overwhelmed. Lin Luo felt like he was about to kiss Aunt Six on the cheek any second.

The latter pushed him away with disdain. "Seriously, you young man... If my son hadn't died, he'd be about your age, but he'd definitely be more successful than you; he's Soul Master."

Guang Ling laughed heartily.

Lin Luo chuckled, but Guang Ling's smile vanished.

He stared at Lin Luo in bewilderment, wondering if the kid had overheard their entire conversation.

Lin Luo: "Get your food!"

Auntie Jiao waved her hand. "Come over here, he's finished his breakfast by the window again."

Guang Ling protested, "Nonsense! I'm clearly the one who's friendly, and the students all love getting their food from my window! That's why my window is empty!"

Auntie Jiao ignored him completely.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Luo ran to sit down next to Xiong Chumo. At the next table were Yu Luoyi, Xue Qian, Xue Fu, and Xue Ke.

This is the cafeteria of the junior academy, so it's not surprising that the four of them are sitting together.

Xue Qian glanced over at this moment, seemingly hesitating for a long time, before finally saying, "Let's sit over there, after all, we're in the same group."

Xue Fu was overjoyed, as if she had been waiting for her brother to say those words, and immediately grabbed her plate and ran over first.

Seeing this, Xue Qian felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, and suddenly wanted to take back what he had just said.

The second team consists of seven people. This is the first time that the six from the junior academy have sat at the same table to eat. They have been to the Great Soul Arena several times in the past few days, and through the battles, they are not so hostile to each other anymore, but the fundamental conflict still exists.

"This is delicious."

Xue Fu placed a piece of food from her plate onto Lin Luo's plate.

She and her brother ate at the Noble Window in the basic restaurant, which was Window No. 1. Lin Luo went to Window No. 7 so that he could talk to Guang Ling. Xue Fu didn't know the reason. She only knew that Lin Luo ate very poor food every day.

"This is delicious too! This one is delicious too!"

Xue Fu kept putting food in Lin Luo's bowl.

Xue Qian finally understood why his younger sister hadn't eaten a single bite after getting her food; she had just been biting her chopsticks and staring longingly at the restaurant entrance.

It turned out that she wanted to save her food for Lin Luo.

Sister, don't you think about his status? How could he not get a meal at Window Number One? Xue Qian's heart was bleeding.

Xue Fu smiled and put some food on Xue Qian's plate, "Brother, you should eat too!"

Xue Qian felt a little better, but when he saw Lin Luo's plate full of meat while he only had one piece, he didn't know why he was so happy.

"Princess Fufu, I want one too!"

Yu Luoyi ate the food from Window Two; since he was not of noble status, he could not eat the food from Window One.

After serving Lin Luo, Xue Fu realized she only had one piece of meat left on her plate. Without hesitation, she also gave it to Yu Luoyi, smiling and saying, "Here you go!"

"Fufu, Princess Fufu!"

Yu Luoyi ate two large bowls of rice with this piece of meat.

Lin Luo glanced at Xue Fu's plate, which contained only a few pitiful vegetables. After a moment's thought, he went to window number one and got another plate of food for Xue Fu.

"You've run out of your own food, aren't you hungry? Have some of my freshly made food."

"But this is too much. Let me give you some more."

Xue Fu quickly served Lin Luo most of the dishes he had prepared before happily eating them herself. The little girl's appetite was much better today than in the past few days.

Thinking of Qian Renxue's words, Lin Luo felt even more like he wasn't human. It was truly inhuman to bully such a naive little girl.

But he couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he could only eat the food that Xue Fu put on his plate, accepting the little girl's kindness.

Xue Qian felt a mix of emotions, and he almost broke the chopsticks in his hand.

On the other hand, Yu Luoyi had an unusually good appetite today. Before he had even finished the piece of meat that Xue Fu had given him, he happily ran to the window and got a bowl of rice.

Just then, Xue Qian suddenly looked up towards the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Senior Ye?"

The others turned their heads and, sure enough, saw Ye Lingling appear at the cafeteria entrance, panting heavily.

When she saw the six children, her eyes lit up, and she quickly went over to them.

"I've been looking for you for so long, and it turns out you've all been here."

Perhaps it was because the word "senior sister" possessed an indescribable charm that even the proud Xue Qian lowered his stance, became a gentleman, and stood up to make room for Ye Lingling next to him.

But Ye Lingling sat down directly next to Lin Luo. Lin Luo kicked Xiong Chumo's big butt, signaling her to move over.

Xue Qian's face froze, his anger becoming as solid as a weight.

Lin Luo, my lifelong enemy.

Ye Lingling smiled at the children, as if she had something to say but didn't know how. She asked, "When is our next training session?"

Xue Qian patted the table in front of Xiong Chumo.

The latter, however, remained completely focused on eating.

He said with a sigh, "Probably in two days, the class will be a bit easier that day."

Ye Lingling nodded, then hesitated, as if she still had something to say.
