Ludwig returned to St. Cyr's College overnight, and by the time he got back to his dormitory, it was late.

He walked to Shen Ling's bedroom door, hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Almost a second after he knocked on the door, Shen Ling's voice came from inside the room pretending to be calm but still leaking his nervousness. "Yes...... Is there something wrong? ”

The voice was close, and it seemed to come through a door.

The nervousness in Shen Ling's voice was also transmitted to Ludwig, who stammered, "I...... There's something I want to tell you. ”

"It's late." Shen Ling said, "If you have something to talk about tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Good ......," Ludwig lowered his eyes in disappointment as he looked at the doorknob, "good night." ”

"Good night."

After a final nostalgic glance at the bedroom door, Ludwig turned around and took two or three steps before turning back and turning back into the closed door, "Tomorrow is Sunday, can I ask you out?" No...... Just take you somewhere...... All right? ”

"Okay."

Receiving Shen Ling's accurate answer, Ludwig pursed his lips and laughed happily, he had already planned tomorrow's Yiqiē in his mind. "I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"Hmm."

"Well, good night."

"Good night."

After standing in the doorway for a long time, Ludwig finally regained his heart and went back to his room.

In the bedroom, Shen Ling, who was leaning against the bedroom door with his back, heard the sound of Ludwig's bedroom door closing, and his tense body relaxed all the time.

"Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Phoenix scoffed, "Isn't he the little lover you've missed for eight years?"

Shen Ling's face was already very red, and when he heard the phoenix say the word "little lover", it was even more red to the root of his ears. He forced himself to compose, but his heart was beating alarmingly.

"Why didn't you just ask him if he remembered you?" Phoenix teased evilly, "Maybe he forgot about you, but he likes you now anyway, doesn't he?"

"It's your fate." Gray persuasion, who couldn't get used to seeing the phoenix bullying Shen Ling, said. "Tomorrow he asks you out, you can take the opportunity to make it clear to him."

Phoenix's joking words made Shen Ling's already chaotic thoughts even more confused.

A few hours ago, after Caitlin screamed and told him that the jade pendant was Ludwig's, Shen Ling, who was extremely shocked, ran back to Granny Maria, and then knew all about it in her mother-in-law's mouth.

"Ludwig's name was Celia when he was a child, and the child was frail and sickly when he was a child, and his mother was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so she raised him as a girl when he was a child."

"The necklace is indeed his, but I think he seems to have lost it?"

"Yes, his orc form is a red dragon, and in the entire empire, only the orc form surnamed Pendragon is a red dragon."

……

In a trance, he returned to the dormitory, Ludwig was not there, he had not returned.

Shen Ling stood in front of Ludwig's bedroom door for a long time, his mind full of bits and pieces between himself and Celia and Ludwig.

The two of them looked so alike, and he had mistaken Ludwig for Celia many times, but why didn't he think that they were just one person?

The person he was looking for was actually by his side, and he even pursued himself all the time. Shen Ling felt that this qiē was like someone was joking with him, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy in his heart.

Great, they're the same person.

He no longer had to reject Ludwig because he missed Celia, nor did he have to feel that he had betrayed Celia because of his irrepressible liking for Ludwig.

Celia is Ludwig, and the person he likes is the same person from beginning to end!

But......

Even if he knew that Celia and Ludwig were really the same person, in his mind, he could not equate the two people. Celia is his faith, the only beam of light in his life.

In eight years of constant reminiscence, Celia became almost his god.

Now knowing that his god was always by his side made him confused and at a loss.

Shen Ling went back to his room, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, until he heard a noise outside the door, he immediately thought that it was Ludwig who came back, and immediately jumped up and walked to the door.

His trembling hands gripped the doorknob, but he didn't have the courage to push it open with a little force.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside the door.

He came in, he came closer, he knocked on the door......

Shen Ling's breathing stopped at this moment, he had never been so nervous and so scared. When Ludwig spoke, his mind went blank and he only reflexively answered his question. Until Ludwig left, he didn't know what he was talking about.

……

The next day, in Ludwig's black car, Shen Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, silently lowered his head and looked at his fingers.

He had barely closed his eyes last night, but he had changed his clothes before Ludwig knocked on his bedroom door. In front of the mirror in the bathroom, he looked at it many times, and finally decided that the blue military-style school uniform was the most suitable for him.

So he put on his school uniform, combed it carefully, and sat nervously on the bed in his bedroom waiting for Ludwig.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, Shen Ling walked quickly to the door and opened the door, looking up slightly, to see Ludwig's refreshing and bright smile. At that moment, he just repeated the words in his mind - he was Celia, he was Celia.

Then he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

"Good morning."

"Early ......"

"Have breakfast? I bought Mickey Mouse Milk and Bread. ”

"Okay."

In the next time the two of them were together, Shen Ling didn't dare to raise his head to contact Ludwig's sight.

Ludwig, who was thinking about confessing to Shen Ling, was also very nervous, so he didn't notice Shen Ling's abnormality.

The black sedan quickly drove away from Saint-Cyr College, and after more than an hour's drive, Ludwig took Shen Ling to the city center square in Camilia.

On the canopy above the artificial lake in the central square of the city was again an interview with Ludwig from a few months ago, which Ludwig had asked to put up the square management committee the previous night.

Although this interview really made Ludwig feel very ashamed, it was the most suitable background music for him to confess to Shen Ling.

The car was parked in the parking lot of the city center square, and after the car was parked, Shen Ling did not come back to his senses, until Ludwig called him, he blinked his eyes and hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt.

"I'll help you." Ludwig leaned over and unbuckled Shen Ling's seat belt. When he turned around, he suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at Shen Ling's face up close.

Shen Ling's blush had spread to the base of his ears, and his black eyes, which were filled with moisture, looked at him at a loss, as if he was about to cry.

"What's wrong with you?" Ludwig, who realized that Shen Ling's situation was wrong, panicked a little.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. The moment Ludwig approached, Shen Ling felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and his little heart almost jumped out of his throat. He turned his head and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

"This heartbeat is about to catch up with the thunder." Phoenix laughed.

"Did you say Shen Ling's or Ludwig's?" Ash also found it difficult to tease the next two people.

"Two idiot virgins."

Shen Ling walked briskly in front, and Ludwig followed behind.

The two people came out of the parking lot, and the interview voice on the canopy screen in the central square of the city immediately reached the ears of the two people.

"Your Highness, this is the first time you've openly participated in an interview show of a galaxy-wide nature, are you nervous?"

……

Shen Ling glanced up at the canopy screen, the handsome and shining Ludwig on the screen was so far away from him, it seemed that he would never be able to attain, but this person was now by his side.

He is His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Empire, and from the time he knew him to the present, at least in front of him, Ludwig did not have the slightest shelf of His Royal Highness the Prince.

He was gentle, kind and caring.

His voice is good, and the smell of his body is good.

He seemed to be forever shining by the sun, with a bright smile, elegant manners, and a measured advance and retreat.

But what about yourself? Although I have been working hard, until now, I have achieved nothing. In front of Ludwig, he was like a clown, humble, insignificant. Ludwig likes himself now, completely because of his physique, if one day the influence of his physique disappears, will Ludwig not like me anymore?

"Has His Royal Highness wanted to marry a mermaid as a companion since he was a child?"

"It looks like I've been betrayed. Yes, it's really been a dream I've always had. ”

Sure enough, whether it was Ludwig or Celia, it was their dream to marry a mermaid. I'm a mermaid, but what else do I have besides this one?

“…… In addition to the mermaid, what kind of future partner does His Highness want in his mind? ”

"Actually, I didn't think about the specific requirements. But I want him or her to be a gentle person...... I think if my partner wasn't a mermaid, I might want to be with Blackie. ”

Hearing the word "little black", Shen Ling, who was silently walking in front, suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Ludwig in disbelief.

Why would Ludwig say such a thing in front of an entire Reich audience in an interview?

All the doubts in Shen Ling's mind disappeared when he saw Ludwig's beautiful emerald eyes.

The tenderness and affection in Ludwig's eyes seemed to wish to drown him in this second.

"Do you remember Celia told you that she was going to take you to the central square of Kamilia to see the mermaid sculpture?" Ludwig lowered his voice and said to Shen Ling, "Remember when she promised you to be her bodyguard?" ”

Shen Ling replied with difficulty: "I remember every word she said. There was a cry in his voice.

"You said you liked someone for eight years, was that person Celia?"

Shen Ling nodded blankly.

"Do you believe I'm her, then?" Ludwig took out the mermaid scales that Shen Ling had given him from the bracelet he was wearing on his left hand and handed it to him.

Shen Ling didn't reach out to take it, he just stared at the scale.

He wanted to escape.

Shen Ling's lack of reaction made Ludwig very nervous, and he was afraid that even if it came to this point, Shen Ling would still choose to reject him.

He knew he was Celia, but at the same time he wasn't Celia.

Perhaps in Shen Ling's heart, Celia was just the little girl eight years ago. No matter what he said, he was nothing more than Ludwig now, and Celia had long since ceased to exist.

If he just relied on Shen Ling's love for that little girl eight years ago and forced him to accept himself, wouldn't this behavior be too despicable?

"Shen Ling, Celia no longer exists." After making up his mind, Ludwig still said what was in his heart, "Now standing in front of you is me and not Celia, are you willing to accept me?" ”
