Chapter 41: The Courage of Love (1)
The Royal Academy, this is lunchtime a few days later, most of the students have come to the academy's cafeteria, or rather, the vast majority.
In the Royal Academy, no one would give themselves special treatment by bringing their own luxurious lunch, because doing so would affect their image and make people feel disgusted.
At the same time, this is also a forbidden thing in the college. If every student does this, what kind of situation will it be?
Of course, it's okay to bring just bento or something similar as long as it doesn't affect others. However, in such an environment, people rarely bring bento, and doing so would make them lose face.
Generally, there are three types of people who bring their own lunch. The first type is those who want to save time, which is the majority; the second type is those who cannot adapt to the local food, which is extremely rare; and the third type is those who want to save money, which is originally common in other places but extremely rare here.
In this royal academy filled with upper-class nobles, few people know how to save money. Spendthrifts are everywhere, like that certain person in the middle.
As the young lady of the Ye family, Ye Lan Yu naturally didn't need to save money and wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary. She would always eat lunch in the academy's cafeteria with two people, one being someone she liked, and the other being someone she disliked.
These two people are Ye Lang and Seventh Princess, as for who likes whom and who dislikes whom, it's unnecessary to say that everyone already knows.
Recently, for a long time, one of the two people was no longer with her. If it were Seventh Princess, she would have celebrated with both hands raised. But unfortunately, it was Ye Lang, her most precious younger brother, who had not been having lunch with her lately, which made her very unhappy.
"Ye Lan Yu, Ye Lang Ren, aren't you eating with us again today?" The Seventh Princess asked as she entered the dining hall, seeing Ye Lan Yu alone once more without a glimpse of Ye Lang.
At this moment, if Ye Lang doesn't show up, it also means that he won't be appearing again today.
"Yes, now no matter how he's called, he won't come. He has to go and eat the meal that woman made. You, as a wife, are really useless, can't even keep your own husband." Yelanyu sighed and immediately launched a habitual attack on Seventh Princess.
These two people, although they often meet and are increasingly understanding each other, even to the point of now knowing more about each other than themselves, yet their identities as sworn enemies have not changed. As soon as they meet, they will start arguing and contradicting each other. One person says it's right, the other says it's wrong, even if it's really right, they still have to express different opinions.
Of course, they also have a consistent time, that is, about Ye Lang's affairs, and what makes them often together is Ye Lang.
"I'm still just a fiancée, how can I control him? He's now under your care as the older sister, you're the most useless...” Seventh Princess retorted without any courtesy, and they also didn't hold back between each other, often bringing up the engagement between Ye Lang and Seventh Princess.
For so many years, the seven princesses seemed to have never refuted, as if they all accepted this relationship by default. On the other hand, Ye Lang would occasionally raise objections, but only occasionally, and very rarely at that.
"You should be grateful that he's with her, if it were another woman, I reckon your status as his fiancée would be in jeopardy. Although you're quite annoying, I don't object to the two of you being together." Ye Lan Yu said unwillingly, she didn't want her brother to marry this quarrelsome woman.
However, she was very familiar with the Seventh Princess and knew that she cared deeply about her younger brother. This concern was genuine and came from the heart. As long as he was treated well, no matter how much she disliked it, she would not object.
Of course, this is just saying no objection, not representing approval, and she also knows that the Seventh Princess's feelings for Ye Lang are not love, but a special and complicated emotion, an inexplicable emotion.
She and Ye Lang, although they are often together and have a good relationship, have never sparked any romance between them. Their parents are quite frustrated with this situation, but there's nothing they can do about it, as these things cannot be forced.
"Hmph, even if it were another woman, she wouldn't be able to make me lose my position either. Even if she's better than me, she still can't!" The Seventh Princess snorted, but no one knew whether this was just a boast or the truth.
But very quickly, she immediately shifted the topic, leaving no opportunity for further exploration of this issue.
"Yelan Yu, you say he likes being with her just because of food?"
"Otherwise, what do you think it would be? With her conditions, apart from food, is there anything else that can attract my brother? My brother wouldn't be so blind." Ye Lan Yu said naturally.
"It's not necessarily the case, he has always liked strange and unusual things, maybe he..." The Seventh Princess raised an objection, Ye Lang's preferences were very peculiar, his standards were also very strange, sometimes others would say something was good, but he wouldn't think so, while bad things would get his approval.
So this made her suspect that it was his peculiar taste, liking the "her" in their mouths, of course, this is just a suspicion, a kind of suspicion that anyone would think impossible.
"Pshaw! Children's words are not to be taken seriously! If he likes her, I'll lock him up right away!" Ye Lan Yu immediately objected, his tone extremely firm.
"Haha, just kidding, what's wrong with you, do you think this is possible?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!" Ye Lan Yu shook her head and continued eating her lunch.
What kind of girl would make them feel impossible, and not even a little bit possible? That's the girl who is now with Ye Lang, even if she looks a bit like that on the surface, but she is indeed an eighteen-year-old young girl.
Of course, she is not a beautiful girl!
In the Alchemy Academy, in the classroom of Ye Lang's class, a play is being performed at this moment, which has been happening every day recently.
"Yeran, you've snatched my lunchbox again! Give it back to me quickly!!" A voice rang out, seemingly with anger, but what was strange was that amidst this, there was even more helplessness and habit.
The owner of this voice was a big-sized girl, who was precisely the one called Zhen Xiaoyan in their class, and she was also the absolutely impossible girl mentioned by Ye Lan Yu.
Ye Lang had been having lunch with her for a very long time, and the reason was just as Ye Lan Yu said, it was all about eating.
