The dim light of the morning sun shines into the room through the beige curtains, and the faint halo is applied to the silver-white wallpaper with rose stripes. The two tones of gold and rose are harmoniously intertwined, noble and elegant, giving
The quiet interior adds a bit of low-key luxury.
Leng Ling sat up from the bed, perhaps because he returned to his own home. He slept particularly soundly last night and had no dreams.
Sitting quietly on the bed, looking around with misty eyes.
Suddenly, his clear eyes were fixed on the photo frame placed on the cabinet beside the bed.
With a simple white frame and no too many complicated decorations, Leng Ling took it off the bed as soon as he reached out.
This is a group photo of a family of five. At that time, my father was the president of Lanson. He was busy with official duties and did not have much time to spend with himself and his family, so it was the only photo taken when the whole family got together.
The father in the photo is dressed in a tall military uniform, handsome and has kind eyes.
The mother who was wearing a lavender dress beside her was dignified and beautiful, with brown eyes, looking at her tenderly, just like in the past.
In front of them, stood three children, two about three or four years old with bright smiles on their faces.
The young man with black hair and black eyes standing in the middle had exquisite facial features and a slender figure. He held the hands of his parents and had a peaceful smile on his face. He was extremely happy.
Behind the family is the large garden of the mansion, with green trees and fragrant flowers, just like today in a sunny and spring season.
As I gazed at the people in the photo in ecstasy, the sight of the lake gradually dimmed.
There was once such a sweet and happy family of five, such a carefree life, so beautiful and short-lived. Like a flash in the pan, it will never come back.
Leng Ling lowered her eyes bitterly, put the photo frame back to its original place, lifted up the soft quilt on her body, and got out of bed.
Put on your military uniform, open the window, and fresh air rushes into the room.
Leng Ling stood by the window sill, gazing at the endless greenery in the distance, smelling the sweet fragrance of grass, and listening to the chirping of birds. Her originally depressed mood was slightly relieved.
After standing silently for a while, he turned and left the room.
Coming downstairs, Jerry and the servants had already prepared breakfast. The smell of all kinds of delicacies mixed together was mouth-watering.
Seeing the black figure, Jerry bowed respectfully and raised a faint smile towards him, "Good morning, Your Highness."
"morning."
Leng Ling nodded lightly and sat at the dining table. Jerry immediately stepped forward and poured him a cup of black tea. He took out two slices of bread from the toaster, spread the jam evenly, leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, please use it slowly."
"kindness."
Leng Ling picked up the bread and took a bite.
Finding that the living room was deserted, he put down the bread and frowned slightly, "Where are Xiaolin and Xiaolie?"
"Your Highnesses haven't gotten up yet. They usually sleep until seven o'clock." He raised his head and glanced at the grandfather clock in the living room. "They seem to have gotten up a little late today. Your Highnesses, do you need me to wake them up?"
Leng Ling shook his head, "Let them sleep a little longer."
"yes."
Leng Ling slowly ate bread and drank black tea. In the quiet living room, there was only the slight sound of chewing food.
Jerry stood beside Leng Ling, looking at his elegant posture. There was unconcealable warmth in his light gray eyes.
But the other person seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice the strong emotion in his eyes as he looked at her at the moment.
After standing for a while, Jerry remembered that he had something else to report to Leng Ling.
Although he knew that the other party didn't like to talk during meals, he hesitated for a while before speaking, "Your Highness."
"What's wrong?"
Jerry moved his lips and said softly, "There is something I want to discuss with you. It's about His Highness Lie."
Leng Ling's eyes turned watery, "What's the matter?"
"His Royal Highness wants to study in a military academy."
Leng Ling's hand holding the teacup stagnated slightly, "He is still too young now. It won't be too late to go in a few years."
"I am already twelve years old, not too young."
Xiaolie walked down the stairs and looked at his brother, his childish face full of determination that could not be rejected.
Leng Ling held her forehead weakly, "Xiaolie..."
Xiaolie walked to the dining table, his slender body straightened up, "My brother went to the military academy when he was twelve years old. After this summer, I will also go to study there."
Leng Ling pulled her brother over, looked straight into his clear black eyes, and said kindly, "Xiaolie, I know you want to be like your father. But the military school is very hard, and the life there is
It’s completely different from home, you can’t even imagine it.”
Xiaolie's eyes were firm, as if he had grown up a lot all of a sudden, "These hardships are nothing, I am a man, I am not afraid of anything."
Leng Ling knew that he couldn't convince his brother, so he could only compromise, "If you can bear it, I will support you."
Xiaolie hugged Leng Ling happily, "Thank you, brother, I will definitely work hard. I want to learn from you and prove it to everyone with my best performance."
Leng Ling expressed encouragement for Xiaolie's ambition. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
"It's great, Xiaolie can finally go to the military academy." Xiaolin also got up and staggered over, her delicate little face showing joy, "I believe Xiaolie must be the best."
The maid brought the bacon and scrambled eggs. On the white carved plate, there were golden scrambled eggs and shiny bacon, exuding a burst of fragrance.
Perhaps because Leng Ling agreed to Xiao Lie's request, the two little guys were in a particularly good mood and enjoyed eating.
"What are you so happy about?"
A gloomy voice sounded in the joyful living room. Leng Ling turned his eyes slightly and said lightly, "It's nothing."
Xiaolie put down his fork and waved his hand, "Mr. Lean, I can go to the military academy!"
Li En walked briskly to sit next to Leng Ling, "This is indeed exciting news. Congratulations, Your Highness."
"I must become a person like my father and brother, defeat the invaders and defend our motherland."
Li En picked up the coffee, "I also believe that His Highness Lie will get what he wants," his golden eyes narrowed with a smile, "Your brother is your best role model. His performance in the military academy is very good. Even I
Conquered by him."
Hearing the other party's words with a double meaning, something seemed to flash quietly in Leng Ling's eyes. He turned his head away deliberately, not wanting to have any intersection with the other party's eyes.
Xiaolie didn't know what the two men were thinking. His eyes were bright and he nodded seriously, "Yes, I will!"
