Chapter 100: His Highness's Boyfriend

To enter the teleportation array from the main campus of the Royal Military Academy to the sub-campus in the Imperial Capital, one needed to swipe their school emblem.

However, Xiao Qingyang was not aware of the exact location of the teleportation array in the main campus. After all, it was only his second time swiping the school emblem and entering the array, and technically his first time doing it alone. The last time was during the enrollment, when he was guided by a teacher.

But at that time, Xiao Qingyang's mind was completely focused on being amazed by the fact that "there is a teleportation array in this world" and "this planet actually has spiritual energy." He didn't pay any attention to the specific location of their teleportation array.

So now, with an excited and eager expression, Xiao Qingyang ran out of the dormitory and found himself standing in the campus, feeling confused and unsure of which direction to go.

Just as Xiao Qingyang was about to send a text message to his roommate to ask for help, a video call from Long Jingze came in. He quickly answered, and Long Jingze's handsome face appeared on the terminal screen.

"Yangyang, where are you right now?" Long Jingze asked with a gentle tone, a smile on his face.

"I'm still in the main campus. I can't find the teleportation array's exact location," Xiao Qingyang replied somewhat embarrassedly, a faint blush on his face.

Long Jingze looked at Xiao Qingyang in this state and felt an itch in his heart.

It had been over a month since he last saw Yangyang. Not only had he been unable to see him, he couldn't even hear his voice. He had managed to endure this month, but he felt like he was reaching his limit.

As a student of the Royal Military Academy, he knew that during the training period for new students, unless they were eliminated in advance, they wouldn't be able to contact the outside world for a full month.

And how could his Yangyang be eliminated midway? So, Long Jingze had persisted for a month, counting the days until their separation ended, and sent the text message as soon as possible.

If he wasn't worried about scaring Yangyang with his excitement, he would have definitely made a video call right away.

Originally, he had planned to get a good look at Xiao Qingyang when they met at the school gate. This period of time would also allow him to calm down his own emotions. However, Long Jingze had overestimated his own patience, and in the end, he couldn't resist making the video call to Xiao Qingyang.

Long Jingze couldn't help but self-mockingly think in his heart. His rationality and patience, which he had always been proud of, unexpectedly failed in front of Xiao Qingyang.

But who made the other person the one he held dearly in his heart? He was willing to be content with this.

In the past, when he saw his father and mother being lovey-dovey all the time, he couldn't understand it. But since he realized that he also had someone he liked, he could now comprehend it. At this moment, just like his father, he longed to be with Yangyang every second of the day.

Unfortunately, he hadn't won over that person yet.

"Don't move, I'll come to find you," Long Jingze hurriedly walked towards the campus, constantly reminding Xiao Qingyang through the video call and observing him.

"But I haven't gone to the sub-campus yet," Xiao Qingyang said, confused.

He was still in the main campus, and only students with the school emblem could enter the main campus. How could Xiao Long come to find him?

Long Jingze knew exactly what Xiao Qingyang was thinking and explained with a smile, "Did you forget that I am also a student of the Royal Military Academy?"

While explaining, Long Jingze waved his own school emblem in front of the video screen.

Only then did Xiao Qingyang realize that Long Jingze had found him a human identity and even entered the Royal Military Academy to study. Long Jingze... was really impressive.

They kept the video call on, and it didn't take Long Jingze long to find Xiao Qingyang's location. Seeing the dazed look on his face, Long Jingze couldn't wait to embrace him immediately.

"Yangyang," Long Jingze's deep, magnetic voice came from two places, clearer and more pleasant than what Xiao Qingyang heard on the video call.

Xiao Qingyang subconsciously looked up and stared at Long Jingze, who was walking towards him. Then he reacted and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Long, I'm here," Xiao Qingyang waved and called out to Long Jingze.

Long Jingze: ...

Other classmates who recognized Long Jingze: ...

Who is this "Xiao Long"?

Who is he calling?

Who is this person?

Why haven't we seen him before?

Surely he's not calling their beloved Crown Prince.

The onlookers were completely puzzled, but deep down in their hearts, they were more excited to see Long Jingze. After all, he was the school's idol.

"Oh my goodness, is that the idol? Is that really him? How lucky am I to see the idol in person right after enrolling! I'm so excited..."

"Ah ah ah... It's really the idol! I heard that he rarely appears in school, but I didn't expect to see him today. Has the idol come back to study?"

"I don't want to go home anymore. I want to stay in the same place as the idol."

The surrounding students were going crazy. Whether they were male or female, seeing Long Jingze on campus got them extremely excited.

Fortunately, there weren't many people walking around on campus at the moment, otherwise, they would have surely crowded around him.

However, Long Jingze didn't notice the commotion around him. His eyes were fixed on the person waving at him.

"Did you wait long?" Long Jingze's lips curved into a smile as he spoke with a playful tone.

With this smile, the people around him became even more excited and frenzied.

"Ah ah ah... The idol smiled! The idol actually smiled! I have no regrets coming to school now."

"Who is the guy opposite the idol? The idol actually smiled at him."

"I need to know everything about that person within a minute. How could he be so lucky to receive the idol's smile, ah ah ah..."

Long Jingze's smile drove the surrounding people crazy. Then, everyone noticed Xiao Qingyang standing in front of Long Jingze, and it seemed like the idol's smile was directed at him.

Suddenly, envy and jealousy consumed everyone towards Xiao Qingyang. They wished they could replace him and stand in front of the idol.

"Xiao Long, let's go quickly," Xiao Qingyang felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the people around him. He grabbed Long Jingze's hand and hurriedly spoke.

Once again, the people around were fortunate to hear the name "Xiao Long." Those who were unsure about whom it referred to moments ago were now regretting not hearing it clearly. Classic questions popped up in their minds.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Once again being called "Xiao Long," Long Jingze helplessly and affectionately said to Xiao Qingyang, "Yangyang, from now on, just call me Aze."

Although the nickname "Xiao Long" was endearing and unique, he couldn't really... accept it.

"Alright, Aze, let's go quickly. It's been two months since I last saw Grandpa Du," Xiao Qingyang urged once again.

Grandpa Du was the first person he met after coming to this world, and he had been very kind to him, like a grandfather. So Xiao Qingyang had a good relationship with the butler, and he missed him a little after not seeing him for two months.

"What about me?" Long Jingze asked suspiciously.

"Hmm?" Xiao Qingyang looked up at Long Jingze, confused.

"It's been two months since you last saw me too. Do you miss me?" Long Jingze persistently asked, like a child who hadn't gotten a candy.

"Of course I do, I... I miss you too," Xiao Qingyang's heart raced a bit faster when he said those words, and he felt a slight nervousness, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"I miss you a lot," Long Jingze gazed deeply into Xiao Qingyang's eyes, and the words slipped out.

If it weren't for receiving a special mission suddenly two months ago, he would have definitely accompanied Yangyang to enroll. He had just entered university and wasn't accustomed to everything yet. He didn't know if anyone would bully Yangyang. If he found out that someone dared to bully the person he cherished, he would make sure they knew how to spell the word "regret"!

Hearing those four words from Long Jingze, Xiao Qingyang's face felt hot. His heart, which was already beating a bit fast, raced even faster, as if it wanted to burst out of his chest. He felt a little dizzy.

"Yangyang, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?" Long Jingze panicked when he saw Xiao Qingyang feeling dizzy, his face turning red. He anxiously asked, as if he was about to carry him to the hospital in the next moment.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingyang responded in time, preventing the onlookers from harboring more envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"I-I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired recently. Let's go home quickly," Xiao Qingyang hurriedly said.

He could only attribute these reactions to recent exhaustion. After all, he had never experienced this before, and he had never been so tired from the experiences of a new student. It was normal for his body to struggle to cope.

He just needed to rest well at home for a few days, and this situation would likely not occur again.

Xiao Qingyang felt a bit flustered by the uncontrollable feeling in his heart. Indeed, he needed to improve his physical condition quickly. Otherwise, if he was already exhausted after just one trial and experienced such abnormalities, who knew what other issues his body might encounter in the future?

Long Jingze didn't waste any time and led Xiao Qingyang to the nearest teleportation point. After swiping their school emblem, they left, leaving behind a group of bewildered students who hadn't reacted in time.

"The male god... left?" a student asked their companion in disbelief.

They had just thought that the male god was returning to school, but he left after picking up someone?

Would the male god come back or should they continue staying at the school? That was the question.

"Who is that guy? What's his relationship with the male god? The male god seemed to care a lot about him," another student wondered.

"I don't know. He's probably a freshman this year, maybe even a relative of the male god," someone guessed.

"Nonsense! Everyone knows how many royal family members there are. How could the Crown Prince have a newly enrolled relative?" another student argued.

"If not him, then who do you think it could be? Who else could make the male god treat him so gently with a smile? It can't be the male god's boyfriend, right?"

As soon as this remark was made, silence fell over the scene. Even the person who spoke didn't expect this possibility. After all, it was just a slip of the tongue.

But why did it suddenly feel like this possibility was the most likely?

"I don't believe it. The Crown Prince belongs to everyone. He can't possibly have a boyfriend. That person must be a relative of His Highness," someone said firmly.

"Yes, he must be a relative of His Highness, perhaps a distant relative. His Highness is just being polite by treating him so well," the girls in the crowd asserted, whether they were saying it for others to hear or to convince themselves, they really didn’t know.
