**Volume 3, Chapter 11: Azure Sky Below, Each Person’s Peaceful Night**

February 8, 2013

“Peaceful Night?” asked Dongfang Lu, and Ling Jing blinked her eyes. “I still have to go to work tonight, and we’ve never really celebrated Peaceful Night before.”

“Oh,” Dongfang Lu smiled somewhat regretfully, “what a pity. The student union had planned to invite everyone to dinner, and I was hoping to invite you to join us.”

Ling Jing’s eyes lit up at the mention of dinner. “Dinner? Have you guys found a place? Our restaurant is hosting a Christmas dinner buffet, and employees can bring guests in exchange for a 10% discount.”

Dongfang Lu was taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm. “Really? That sounds great. We don’t lack money, and we can calculate the discount based on each person’s consumption of 500 yuan.”

Ling Jing stretched out five fingers. “Each person gets 500 yuan, but it’s definitely worth it.”

As she enthusiastically introduced the dinner buffet, everyone around her felt a little strange, but no one doubted her. Dongfang Lu’s family was well-connected, and he naturally understood the benefits of bringing guests to hotels.

…

Holding a gift box, Ling Jing returned to the classroom, with a 10,000-yuan check in her pocket. She felt happy, thinking that she would soon have over 1,000 yuan of her own. She had seen Jia Ming’s skilled motorcycle techniques while working at the flower shop, and both girls liked to ride together occasionally. She was now planning to buy a beautiful motorcycle, but it would take about a year or two.

Before she sat down, her classmate Xiao Li leaned over, her eyes filled with envy. “Wow, did someone give you a gift? What is it? It must be from some handsome guy.”

Ling Jing rolled her eyes. “It’s a welfare gift from the student union, thanking me for my help. Why are you thinking so much?”

Xiao Li giggled. “The student union, huh? Is it Dongfang Lu? He’s come to find you many times, and now he’s given you a gift. Do you think he likes you?”

Ling Jing laughed. “You’re thinking too much. I’ve helped them with many things, so it’s natural for them to show their appreciation.”

Xiao Li leaned in, her voice low. “Dongfang Lu has sent many girls into a frenzy, like Tan Suyan, the third-year student, and Dong Danwen, who’s said to be the most beautiful girl in school.”

…

The next day, December 24th, Sacred Heart Academy had only half a day of classes, and the afternoon was a holiday. At noon, Ya Han’s car stopped outside the teaching area, and she picked up three people.

“Just in time for the holiday, Peaceful Night. I have no plans, so let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Ya Han asked, “Aren’t you going home?”

Ling Jing replied, “I have to go to work this afternoon, and I’ll get overtime pay.”

Ya Han smiled. “That’s settled then. I’ll pick you up after work, and we can go shopping together in the afternoon.”

Although they said it lightly, Ya Han had been preparing for this Peaceful Night for a long time. She had spent these days busy with Christmas decorations and preparations for the New Year’s Eve party. As for her feelings towards Jia Ming, she couldn’t grasp them, and she was afraid to explore them.

If her counterpart was an adult of the same age, she would have mustered the courage to explore these feelings, but Jia Ming was not. Although he often joked about her being his child bride, she knew she wasn’t. If a teacher-student romance were to emerge, it would be seen as unacceptable, regardless of the circumstances.

So she could only maintain a ambiguous friendship with him, occasionally teasing him like a brother, sometimes feeling like she had exposed too much. But when she calmly observed him, she knew he had no romantic or lustful intentions towards her. He was just appreciating her like a fashion model on TV.

This discovery left her feeling puzzled and disappointed. That bad guy was always breaking the rules, and his charm had attracted her. As Ya Han, she couldn’t dare to break through these feelings, and she could only wait for him to grow up. Because he already had two girls who were more suitable for him, and he might choose one of them. So she could only hope for his growth, and in the meantime, they could only be friends.

That evening, several cars carrying over 20 high school students arrived at the North Europe Fantasy restaurant. Dongfang Lu, dressed in casual attire, led the group, followed by Dongfang Wan, dressed in black leather, looking stylish.

As they entered the hall, they saw Ling Jing walking in the distance, and Dongfang Lu smiled, waving his right hand.
