Lin Luo: "We have nothing to do."

"But why did you suddenly invite Hongchen to the palace? You haven't taken the initiative to invite us in all these years."

Yu Luoyi also asked in confusion.

His doubts were soon recognized by Xuefu.

The girl with long golden hair nodded immediately.

For the first time, she felt empty inside, probably because this was also the first time that Lin Luo showed enthusiasm towards another girl in front of her.

Lin Luo said helplessly: "I just have something to talk to Hong Chen about."

“Hopefully it’s for the competition.”

Xue Gan raised his eyebrows with a playful expression, then pulled his sister away.

Compared to Xue Fu, Xue Qian hopes to see this scene more. It would be a win-win situation for him if Lin Luo could fall in love with another girl, and his sister would not leave him.

Xiong Chumo glanced at Hong Chen, and after being sent away by Hong Chen's eyes, he lowered his head and followed the Xue Gan siblings away.

Yu Luoyi stood there stupidly, but Lin Luoke had no intention of inviting him.

"Let's go."

Lin Luo gestured to Hong Chen in the direction of the carriage.

Hong Chen lowered his head, struggling: "I'm going to the palace with you just to have a look and have fun. You can't embarrass me and ask me things I don't want to say..."

Lin Luo: "Since you have so many concerns, why did you agree so quickly just now?"

"Hey, why are you scaring this sister?"

Ye Lingling hurriedly grabbed Hongchen's hand and led her towards the carriage, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of in the palace. I am here, and Lin Luo will not embarrass you."

"Okay!" Then Hongchen smiled again, with a bit of anticipation.

She even jumped onto the carriage before Ye Lingling.

Yu Luoyi moved secretly towards the carriage, but Lin Luo turned his head and glared at him. He instantly stopped in his tracks, but then straightened his chest and said, "Lin Luo, I don't think you dare to do anything in broad daylight!"

Lin Luo raised his hand and Yu Luoyi ran away in fear.

In the carriage, Hong Chen was like a restless dog, completely unable to sit still. He stuck his head out of the window with great anticipation and curiosity, observing the passing scenery.

Lin Luo had been looking at her. Perhaps because he had been staring at her for too long, Ye Lingling frowned and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

But this scene was not seen by Hong Chen, or the red-haired girl's attention was not at all on the car at the moment.

"The palace must be very big and beautiful, right?"

Hongchen asked Ye Lingling happily.

The latter nodded: "Yes, but just take a look. It won't be as fun as outside if you stay there for a long time."

"Humph, I don't believe it. If it's not fun, why would they live in there for so long?"

Hongchen responded with a pout.

"They?" Ye Lingling was puzzled, not knowing who Hong Chen was talking about.

Lin Luo also looked at the girl in front of him. Realizing that he had let something slip, Hong Chen quickly explained: "I mean... those who have been living in the palace."

Ye Lingling was at a loss for words: "That's their home. Would you leave your home so easily?"

Hong Chen listened, then shook his head, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

In the following time, she stared quietly at the scene passing by outside the window. It was unknown what she was thinking about, and it seemed that she had lost the liveliness she had at the beginning.

Not long after, the carriage finally arrived.

She Long placed the ladder next to the carriage, but Hong Chen jumped down from it out of habit.

Lin Luo winked at Ye Lingling, who understood and knew that Lin Luo wanted her to remind Qian Renxue to dress as a man later.

"Wow..." Hong Chen looked up at the prince's bedroom and exclaimed, "What a big house!"

Lin Luo stood behind her and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?" "Yes!"

She responded without hesitation.

Lin Luo thought about it and didn't say anything overly intimate. He walked in front to lead the way, but the girl suddenly became reserved.

She took small steps and asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't we make too much noise here?"

Lin Luo looked back at her: "Why do you ask? Is it quiet here?"

Hong Chen shook his head and responded: "I'm afraid of being driven away by you."

Lin Luo was stunned, and his tone became gentler: "Don't worry, I have the final say on whether to drive people away or not."

"Then will you chase me away?"

Hongchen asked carefully.

Lin Luo: “No.”

Only then did she smile with relief, and happily ran in front of Lin Luo, entering the bedroom faster than Lin Luo.

Seeing this scene, Lin Luo shook his head and laughed.

After entering the bedroom, Hong Chen was very curious about everything. It was not that she had never seen human residences before, she was just curious about what Lin Luo’s new home would look like.

Lin Luo let her wander around the palace and went to see Qian Renxue instead.

In the study, Qian Renxue was talking to Ye Lingling. The woman was sitting in her seat. When she saw her son whom she hadn't seen for several days, she looked up and smiled.

"Are you back? How is your life in the academy?"

She walked forward, held Lin Luo's cheeks and looked around, extremely happy.

"Okay, okay..." Even with Ye Lingling around, Lin Luo still couldn't get close to Qian Renxue.

Sure enough, Ye Lingling was laughing secretly when she saw his embarrassed look.

Qian Renxue didn't care. She treated Lin Luo like a kitten, rubbing his head and pinching his cheeks, patting his chest and pinching his waist, and kept saying that she wanted to check whether he had gained or lost weight in the past few days.

Looking at the expression on Lin Luo's face, Ye Lingling almost laughed to death.

Qian Renxue just remembered what Ye Lingling had just said, and she quickly asked, "I heard from Lingling that you brought back a girl. Is she the girl named Hongchen?"

Lin Luo nodded: "Yes."

He then looked at Ye Lingling and said in an unhappy tone: "Hey, I have something to say to her alone, can you step aside for a while?"

"Tsk." Ye Lingling waved her hand nonchalantly and walked out of the study.

Lin Luo immediately warned: "Watch Hongchen and don't let her wander around."

Ye Lingling: “Got it!”

"Tell me, what do you mean?" Qian Renxue stared at her son. Not to mention that Xuefu had objections to this, Qian Renxue also disagreed.

Even though the girl gave a very good impression last time, it was too outrageous of you to bring her home right after school started!
As if I don't exist? Or as if I don't have a say?
Lin Luo: "I suspect she is Xiao Hong."

This sentence confused Qian Renxue.

"You...what did you say? Xiaohong?"

Qian Renxue blinked her eyes. Although she thought of some similarities between the two at that moment, wasn't it too jumpy to forcibly associate a little fox with a person?

"Are you in love with this girl? Or are you missing Xiaohong so much?"

Lin Luo frowned: "I have a lot of fragmentary evidence. If you don't believe it, you can also ask her indirectly, but I think she has her own difficulties that cannot be exposed, so she probably won't admit it."

Qian Renxue crossed her arms, wandered around the study for a few steps, turned her head and looked at her son: "Since she can't be exposed, how did you find out that she is Xiaohong?"

Lin Luo's mouth twitched: "Because...she is still as silly as before."
