Bo Cixue took a bite of noodles and seeing that Ye Jie’s expression was not good, she asked, “What’s wrong?”


  “Luo Zhou came back from abroad. We were supposed to meet up, but I declined. Tang Mo is coming here with his men.”


  Bo Cixue seemed to have thought of something and quickly put down her chopsticks. “Then I’ll leave first.”


  She was about to get up when her slender shoulders were held down by a large hand. “They’re already downstairs.”


  Bo Cixue was speechless.

  Before she could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

  Bo Cixue glanced at Ye Jie, who looked calm and did not panic at all.

  How was he going to explain himself when his friend saw her here?

  Bo Cixue took the bowl of noodles into the kitchen when he went to open the door.

  The moment she opened the door, she heard Tang Mo shouting, “It wasn’t easy for Zhou Zhou to come back. Aren’t you on vacation today? Didn’t you agree to meet up? Forget it. It’s the same even if we meet here!”


  Although Bo Cixue did not go out, she could tell that there were several people.

  They must have been in the training camp with Ye Jie before.

  “Whether it’s the palace or here, the place you live is always lacking something.”


  “You’re not young anymore. You should find a woman.”


  “If you didn’t have Ye Yi by your side back then, I would really suspect that you don’t like women…”


  Before Tang Mo could finish speaking, Ye Jie kicked him.

  “F*ck, why did you kick me?”


  Luo Zhou laughed. “It’s not like you don’t know Boss’s taboo.”


  “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about Ye Yi.”


  Bo Cixue put the bowl of noodles on the kitchen counter and walked out with a sullen face.

  She was not the one who wanted to come anyway. He was the one who would have to explain the situation to his friend.

  When Bo Cixue came out, everyone in the living room was shocked.

  He really did not expect a fairy with a dark expression to walk out from the kitchen.

  Bo Cixue also knew that it was not good to pull a long face, but she could not smile.

  Her gaze was cold.

  Tang Mo and Luo Zhou were good friends of Ye Jie and their families were renowned in the capital. They naturally knew Bo Cixue, who had liked Ye Jie for many years.

  Actually, the two of them admired Bo Cixue quite a bit. After all, she was so pretty and affectionate, but they had not gotten a response from her.

  Later, she went overseas to study. Everyone was more or less sad, but they were relieved for her.

  After all, it was not easy to like a country’s Crown Prince.

  In the socialite circle, she was often laughed at by people.

  Now that they saw Bo Cixue in Ye Jie’s dormitory, everyone seemed to have been fixed in place.

  They had never even seen Ye Jie’s mother in the training camp’s dormitory.

  Bo Cixue glanced at a group of stunned people and said coldly, “Chief Instructor, my problem has been solved. I’ll go to the field to receive my punishment.”


  Bo Cixue did not look at Ye Jie and turned to leave.

  Her face clearly stated that she was in a bad mood now and that no one should provoke her.

  Ye Jie grabbed Bo Cixue’s wrist, but did not look at her. Instead, he said to Tang Mo, Luo Zhou, “Do as you like.”


  Ye Jie pulled Bo Cixue into the kitchen.

  Bo Cixue shook his hand away.

  “I’ll ask them to leave now.”


  Bo Cixue looked at the man who said this and was about to go to the living room to chase his friends away. She frowned and stopped him.

  She was not angry at this.

  Then why was she angry?

  Bo Cixue did not want to think about it.

  They were just ordinary friends now. What right did she have to be angry?

  However, she could not control her emotions when they surfaced earlier.

  Now that she had calmed down and regained her rationality, an awkward smile appeared on Bo Cixue’s face. “I did that on purpose just now. I’m afraid that they would misunderstand.”


  “Misunderstand what?” He narrowed his eyes slightly.

  “Misunderstand that I still like you and pestering you.”


  Her eyes were too clear and frank.

  He stared at her for a few seconds. “You don’t like me anymore. You don’t have to mention it again and again.”


  Bo Cixue was speechless. Was she hallucinating? She felt that his gaze on her had turned colder.

  “They all know that you’re like my sister. They won’t think too much if you’re here.”


  With that said, he took out his phone and called Ah Zuo.

  He instructed Ah Zuo to bring the chef over and to take her phone from Ah You.

  “Come out to have some fun,” he said before going to the living room.

  Bo Cixue leaned against the refrigerator and looked at his disappearing back, sniffling.

  She only walked out after a few minutes.

  When she went out, a bright smile appeared on her delicate face. “Brother Zhou, I haven’t seen you for a few years. You’re getting more handsome.”


  Luo Zhou got up from the sofa and shook Bo Cixue’s hand. “It’s rare for Sister Cixue to see another person’s handsomeness.”


  Bo Cixue touched her nose. “I made a mistake today and was scolded by the Chief Instructor. Fortunately, you came and he spared me and let me rest for a day.”


  “It’s all thanks to us.”


  Luo Zhou looked at Bo Cixue, who was smiling brightly. When she smiled, she was full of vigor.

  It was different from when she followed Ye Jie to the room and sat quietly by the side, not showing her teeth when they had gatherings in the past.

  “Sister Cixue is much more lively than before.”


  Tang Mo interrupted, “Not only is she lively, but this girl went to school and now has a wide range of hobbies.”


  Bo Cixue naturally knew that Tang Mo was referring to the time when she and the others had young hunks to accompany them.

  She was not embarrassed. “I’m still far from Brother Tang Mo.”


  Tang Mo choked.

  “Come, let’s play.” Tang Mo looked at Bo Cixue. “Since you know how to play mahjong, you should know how to play poker too, right?”


  Bo Cixue looked at Ye Jie, who was entertaining the others. He also looked over at her, his gaze seemed to be warning her not to play cards.

  Bo Cixue smiled. “Okay.”


  Bo Cixue, Tang Mo and Luo Zhou had a card game.

  After Bo Cixue stopped acting like a rich young lady, she was more easy-going. In addition, she was very good at playing, and soon, she was having a good time with the others.

  As they played, the topic somehow talked about when they were in the training camp.

  Tang Mo said, “When we first came in and found out that Jie was a prince, none of us dared to approach him. Besides, he’s fair and thin. I can tell at first glance that he can’t suffer.”


  Luo Zhou said, “In the end, we were slapped in the face. Jie always came in first in every test, and was good at everything. Besides…”


  Bo Cixue was interested. “Besides what?”


  Tang Mo said, “Although he looked otherworldly, he smoked with us privately behind the instructor’s back. We secretly went out to play and race together. There was once when we secretly smoked and returned to the dormitory and the instructor smelled the smoke. Damn it, the instructor was so sure that I was the one who had led Jie astray and said that Jie did not look like a child with bad habits.”
