Go back? There's no going back.

That seemed... to be a sight coming from the high platform.

Looking up at the First Princess on the podium, who was slightly tilting her head and seemed to be looking at the people around her, Su Wei, who originally felt full of strength, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his teeth were subconsciously trembling.

Huh...huh?

Did he do something to get glared at just now?

"Hey, hey! Hurry up and yell! Lao Fang is about to come over here. If he finds out that you are slacking off like this, our commission will be severely deducted!"

The white-haired young man's somewhat panicked voice was heard again from the side.

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei also took a deep breath.

At this moment, he also realized that he was obviously overly self-conscious just now.

There are so many people in the audience, the princess might not even notice me, so how could she still glare at me?

Apparently, this is one of the three typical illusions in life: she is looking at me.

After figuring this out, Su Wei relaxed a little.

Although the inexplicable chill still lingered on his spine, he still tentatively raised his hand carefully in front of the princess who seemed to be staring at the scenery below the stage: "Yeah... Yeah?"

Click.

next second.

With a crisp sound, the golden light suddenly shattered, dissipated from the first princess's suddenly clenched hands, and fell on the entire awarding platform like bubbles.

In an instant, the entire noisy crowd fell silent, just like a dump truck that suddenly slammed on its brakes while moving on the highway.

Very quiet.

Because at this moment, almost everyone realized what the broken light on the platform was...

Chapter 36: The Princess is Waiting for You (9.6k)

The awarding ceremony is over.

The welcoming ceremony is coming to an end.

As the first knight of the royal family was born under the watchful eyes of the public, the participants and witnesses of the awarding ceremony also walked down from the podium and left everyone's sight.

Although there was a minor incident at the last minute of the awarding ceremony, which resulted in the First Princess not being able to award the medal to the knight under the watchful eyes of the public, this scene that was enough to leave a deep mark in the history of the empire had some flaws.

At the same time, it also caused the citizens of the royal city to doubt the production quality of the Knight's Medal...

But no matter what, the royal knight with the most prominent identity and background spanning ancient and modern times... was officially born today.

Overall, the ceremony was undoubtedly a success.

Especially the atmosphere group that Su Wei belongs to.

Obviously, thanks to the efforts of him and more than a dozen colleagues around him, the welcoming ceremony did not seem dull today.

At this moment, everyone was very happy looking at the balance transferred from the square-faced leader.

Su Wei was also very happy.

...But the prerequisite is that he did not make eye contact with the princess in the end.

Now, Su Wei didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt indescribably nervous.

He just felt that the cheers around him were very loud.

If he was not sure of the source of the chill he had vaguely felt before, then after what happened just now, Su Wei was now completely certain that the princess was glaring at him.

Moreover, he glared at him with a very cold and terrifying gaze.

...This is not good.

Not good, not good, not good.

Although the other party had left the medal awarding platform and was out of his sight, Su Wei became more and more panicked the more he thought about it.

As far as he could remember, during the past eight years that they had been together, although the princess' attitude towards him had never been particularly friendly, Su Wei had never been stared at by her with such an icy cold look.

To be able to cause such a reaction from the princess who seemed so otherworldly, there was no doubt that something went wrong on my part.

However, after Su Wei tried to recall, he was still not sure why he was stared at like that just now.

Since being fired, the last time he had contact with the princess was in the hospital a few days ago.

At that time, he was advised by the princess to stay in the hospital for at least three days.

And now, four full days have passed, which is the normal time for discharge from the hospital.

The princess just now obviously would not glare at him because of this matter...

But if it's not this, then... why?

Could it be that I didn’t let go completely and didn’t jump high enough?

"Hey, man, why are you still daydreaming? We should go."

At this moment, Su Wei suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder, and the voice of the white-haired young man came from beside him.

"Oh my, I'm finally done after a busy morning. I'm hungry and tired now. I almost made my voice hoarse from shouting just now."

The white-haired young man, who was originally sighing, was stunned when he met Su Wei's somewhat dazed gaze.

Then, he laughed out loud: "Ha, brother, look at you now, you are weak after just a few jumps? You are still supporting the First Princess in such a miserable state?"

"..."Su Wei remained silent and did not speak.

"By the way, Lao Fang just said that the whole atmosphere group performed well today, especially the two of us. He insisted on treating us to a meal. It's a good opportunity to give him a good beating and get back some of the kickbacks he gave him before. Do you want to go?"

After a moment, the white-haired young man seemed to remember something and asked.

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei subconsciously looked back at the empty medal presentation platform behind him. After a moment of silence, he also nodded: "Okay."

Although Su Wei didn't have much hope of getting treated by the leader of the other team, he was still hungry.

The most important thing is that this place makes him feel cold all over, and he subconsciously wants to leave as soon as possible.

"Right, right, let's go."

The white-haired young man also laughed heartily, and the two of them squeezed out of the noisy crowd one after the other.

A few minutes later.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the square-faced man, Su Wei and the white-haired young man came to the door of a restaurant with exquisite exterior decoration in the royal city.

From the outside, this restaurant looks surprisingly good.

"Come in, both of you."

At this time, the square-faced man walking in front turned around and looked at Su Wei and the others, with a warm smile on his face.

"My cousin has already contacted me. The maid of the First Royal Family spoke highly of our work... I didn't expect that although you are not good-looking, your voices are surprisingly nice."

When saying this, the square-faced man first glanced at Su Wei, but soon, his gaze subconsciously moved away and stopped on the white-haired young man next to Su Wei.

"…Ah? No…Although I can't be compared to a certain guy, I can't be described as ugly, can I? I also received several love letters when I was in school, right?"

Being stared at meaningfully by the square-faced man, the white-haired young man immediately became unhappy. He stiffened his neck and looked at the square-faced man: "Old Fang, you are not my employer anymore. You should be more careful when you speak, okay?"

"...Hehe, misunderstanding, you misunderstood, I didn't say it was you...Come on, let's go in and eat first."

Hearing this, the square-faced man laughed, then patted the white-haired young man on the shoulder, and the two of them walked into the restaurant in a mighty manner.

At the cashier counter at the entrance, the square-faced man took out a membership card and handed it over: "Just like I said before, all the meals today are on my table, and you are not allowed to fight with me. Just eat as much as you want!"

"Okay, senior, you are generous!"

Watching the cashier swipe the card across the magic device, the white-haired young man smiled and patted the square-faced man on the shoulder with some emotion: "I misjudged you before. I didn't expect that although you take kickbacks, you are also a sentimental person."

"Hey! Don't talk about this, don't say nonsense, junior brother. If I accept kickbacks, wouldn't you also be bribing people?"

The square-faced man restrained his smile and suddenly looked serious: "That's the normal travel fee for this commission. Everyone has to pay it, and I'm no exception, okay?"

"...Yes, I understand. I understand..."

The white-haired young man also came to his senses and closed his mouth.

"..."

On the side, Su Wei, who was standing behind the two men, watched all this quietly.

Blinking his eyes, he subconsciously looked around the restaurant again.

After confirming that there was no problem, he also stepped into the main gate.

A few moments.

"Wuhu... Wuhu! These shrimps, these meats... Holy crap! Holy crap!"

More than ten minutes after sitting down in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Su Wei watched the meals being brought to the round table from the kitchen one by one, listened to the strange shouts of praise for the food by the white-haired young man beside him, silently opened the magic weapon clipped on his collar, and tried to pick up a piece of meat to taste it.

…Um.

Not bad.

It's really good.

Although my skills cannot be compared with those of the maid, it is at least one-fifth of my level.

"Oh, my cousin just called me again and said he had some good news to tell me."

At this moment, the square-faced man sitting opposite Su Wei's table suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Um, sorry, I have to go over right away, you two can enjoy your meal slowly."

Meeting the gazes of Su Wei and the white-haired young man, the square-faced man waved his hand and showed a generous smile again: "I have already paid for the meal in advance. You two are closest to the medal awarding platform and have been busy all morning. Just eat now. If it's not enough, keep ordering."

"...Okay, then take care, Lao Fang."

Hearing this, the white-haired young man, whose mouth was still full of food, waved politely to the square-faced man, and then continued to eat.

"By the way, we have to remit the money first."

During the meal, the white-haired young man paused as if he suddenly remembered something, quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, and took out a crumpled passbook from his pocket.

The commission was twenty gold coins, and after deducting the travel expenses, the total was seven gold coins.

This is the largest amount of commission he has ever received this year, earning him in one go.

Originally it was only five gold coins, but yesterday when he applied for the job, he used his eloquence to successfully bargain the labor fee from fifteen gold coins to thirteen gold coins.

After taking the reward that the square-faced man had just transferred to him without hesitation, the white-haired young man let out a long sigh, grinned foolishly, and stared at the magic weapon in his hand while waiting.

"…You gave him thirteen in return?"

On the side, watching the white-haired young man's actions, Su Wei asked with some confusion.

"Yeah, he originally wanted fifteen, but I just opened my mouth and got two fewer. Isn't that amazing?"

The white-haired young man nodded complacently, and then asked Su Wei casually: "By the way, buddy, how much did you give at that time?"

"Seven."

"Well, so you are still too young. If you encounter something like this in the future, you must remember to bargain... ah? Wait a minute? "

The expression on his face suddenly froze, and the white-haired young man stared at Su Wei's face blankly: "How much did you say just now?"

……

Ding--

After a moment, there was a vibration from the magic communication device in the white-haired young man's hand.

Without further discouraging his roommate, who already had a distraught expression on his face, Su Wei stood up at the right time and went to a corner to refill the almost empty cup of sweet drink.

"Kro? Did you transfer the money just now?"

The white-haired young man, who suddenly felt like he had lost eight gold coins, stretched out his hand and answered the phone tremblingly. An exceptionally gentle voice came out from it.

"Well...I turned it."

In the real-time communication, the white-haired young man stared at the woman in the picture for several seconds, and then he quickly forced a smile on his face: "Sister Man... Sister Man, I received a very profitable commission yesterday... I can get a full five gold coins in one go, isn't it amazing?"

"..."
