The next day, Su Qinglan sat with her four beastmen. Xuan Long, Hu Yan, Han Jue, and Rong Ye. The atmosphere was peaceful, and everyone was relaxed.
No one mentioned anything about yesterday. No one talked about Luo Chen, Bai Lianhua, or the chaos that had happened. It was as if everyone had agreed silently that today would be a fresh start.
Hu Yan was eating slowly, tearing small pieces of roasted meat and handing some to Su Qinglan now and then.
Han Jue, sitting across, was already on his third portion, eating heartily like always.
Rong Ye was sitting right beside Su Qinglan, grinning proudly as if he had done something great just by sitting next to her.
Even Xuan Long, who usually didn't eat much, was eating quietly beside her. His emerald eyes occasionally lifted to look at her, making sure she was eating well.
Everything felt calm.
Su Qinglan took a sip of fruit juice and looked around. "It's nice like this," she said softly. "This juice is so good."
