After hearing Ling Ling’s words, Ye Fengxue almost choked on a piece of fried chicken. She coughed twice, took a gulp of water, then lowered her voice and said, “Can you not mention that word in public like this?”
“No one’s listening.”
“What if there is!”
Chiyotsuki watched the two bicker, her eyes curving into a smile. She took out her phone and lightly swiped her index finger across the screen.
“Speaking of which, the forum is really lively today. Besides Ling Ling’s photo being posted, there seem to be quite a few interesting threads.”
She said, her gaze falling on the screen, the curve of her lips deepening slightly. “For example, this one—’Shock! The mysterious ring on White Snow Princess’s hand is suspected to be a secret engagement with a mysterious person!'”
Ye Fengxue’s chopsticks stopped.
Ling Ling still bit into the fried chicken with a blank expression.
Lin Jiu put down her pudding, her azure eyes narrowing slightly.
Chiyotsuki continued scrolling, the smile in her golden eyes deepening. “Oh, and someone downstairs refuted: ‘What secret engagement? That’s obviously a matching ring with her sister, okay! The younger sister also has a silver one on her hand!'”
She looked up at the rings on Ling Ling’s and Lin Jiu’s left hands, her tone still gentle.
“And then this thread had a string of replies—”
“President Chiyotsuki, let me see!”
“Ah, Fengxue wants to see?” As she finished speaking, Chiyotsuki handed her phone over.
Ye Fengxue took the phone and quickly scanned the content on the screen.

No need to say more, here are the pictures.
The first one was taken in the cafeteria today at noon, the second one was taken three days ago before the holiday.
Three days ago, White Snow Princess didn’t have this ring on her hand, but today she does.
And it’s on her ring finger.
This is the ring finger, you know!!!
Brothers and sisters, do I even need to say what this means?
[2F Anonymous User]
Holy crap, is the OP from the Countermeasures Section? This observational skill is terrifying…
[3F Still Fangirling White Snow Princess Today]
Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could White Snow Princess have a partner!!! With her aura, who in the whole academy would dare to approach her? Wouldn’t one look freeze them into an iceberg!
[4F Anonymous User]
The above has a point, but I still have to say—it’s the ring finger, you know.
[5F Pure Passerby]
Just got here, what’s this thread discussing? Who is White Snow Princess?
[6F Science Popularizer]
Reply to 5F: Lin Lingling from Class 2C, a cold beauty with white hair and red eyes, recognized by the academy as “the person you most want to be scolded by but dare not talk to, first place.” For details, see the pinned post in this section, “Academy’s Extraordinary People Compendium (Continuously Updated).”

Wait wait wait, look at the second image, pay attention to the background! There’s another person in the background! Zoom in on the bottom left of the photo, that’s White Snow Princess’s sister Lin Jiu, right? (By the way, the sister is also a beauty.)
[8F Microscope Girl]
Holy crap, it really is! And I carefully compared—the sister also has a ring on her left ring finger! Silver! [Image] (Magnified comparison)

Sister matching rings? What kind of incest yuri is this! Wait, are they biological sisters or…
[10F Anonymous User]
Reply to 9F: Not biological, apparently they’re adopted sisters? Anyway, according to the person herself, they have “no blood relation.”
[11F President of Melon-Eating Association (OP)]
Wait, no blood relation? No blood relation + matching rings + ring finger = ??? I can’t solve this problem, someone explain.
[12F Anonymous User]
Finally seeing a normal sister relationship!
[13F Anonymous User]
Not a normal sister relationship.
[14F Anonymous User]
By the way, have you guys noticed that the sister always looks at the elder sister with an expression that’s… how should I put it, like “in her eyes, her sister is the whole world”? [Image] (Candid shot of the sister’s expression when giving lunch to her sister)
[15F Still Fangirling White Snow Princess Today]
Wuwuwu this look is too gentle, I want to be looked at like that too!!!
[16F Anonymous User]
Wake up, above, she’s only like this with her sister. To others it’s a polite smile, still gentle but completely different.
[17F It’s Me Myself]
Confirmed, the sister is a siscon. And a deep siscon. And the type that “my sister belongs only to me.” Don’t ask how I know, I understand.
Ye Fengxue saw this and twitched her mouth.
This 17F’s ID is “It’s Me Myself”… could it really be Lin Jiu herself?
She lifted her eyes, glanced at Lin Jiu who was smiling as she neatly arranged the fried chicken pieces on Ling Ling’s plate, then looked back at the screen ID.
Mm, it probably is her.
She continued scrolling and suddenly her eyes widened.

Wait, you guys are already shipping the sisters? I don’t care, I ship Ye Fengxue × White Snow Princess! During lunch break, didn’t Lady Ye take White Snow Princess out of the classroom again? The two stood facing each other in the hallway for a long time, I don’t know what they were saying but the sense of distance! (Scream) [Image] (Sneak shot in hallway)
[19F Anonymous User]
Above, are you shipping the wrong CP? Lady Ye is clearly the one being favored! You see, every time Lady Ye takes the initiative to go to White Snow Princess, White Snow Princess is indifferent (but she doesn’t refuse, hehe).
[22F Anonymous User]
What about President Chiyotsuki? Doesn’t President Chiyotsuki deliberately detour to Class 2C to take a look every time there’s a meeting? And I once saw President Chiyotsuki pat White Snow Princess’s head in the hallway!!! Pat head kill!!! That smile plus the head-patting move, it’s like owner and pet!
[23F It’s Me Myself]
Reply to 22F: Sister Chiyotsuki just treats our sister like a stray cat she picked up, please don’t overinterpret.
Ye Fengxue stared at this reply, then couldn’t help but look up at Lin Jiu, only to find that Lin Jiu had just put away her phone and was nonchalantly scooping pudding into her mouth with a spoon.
This kid really is browsing the forum.
And she’s maintaining her status as the “only rightful wife.”
The following replies were even more absurd.
[24F Anonymous User]
What about Lady Ye? Isn’t a tsundere lady × Three-No beautiful girl delicious?
[25F Anonymous User]
Delicious! Too delicious! I’ve already started shipping!
[26F Anonymous User]
Reply to 25F: What CP are you shipping? Sisters? Pet cat? Tsundere lovers? I ship all of them, they’re all real.
[27F Forum Know-It-All]
Since the discussion is so heated, let me add a few indices of classic posts about White Snow Princess on the academy forum:
1. “President Chiyotsuki and Her Cat” — a quality daily thread, recording President Chiyotsuki’s daily detour to Class 2C. Stable updates, with pictures and text.
2. “On Why Lady Ye Always Blushes When Angered by White Snow Princess” — a debate thread, currently argued from page 3 to page 12.
3. “Complete Analysis of White Snow Princess” — a ten-thousand-word essay, deeply analyzing the mystery of White Snow Princess’s personality formation. The author has extremely high data collection ability and analysis skill, stickied.
4. “White Snow Princess Lunch Observation Diary” — updated daily on what White Snow Princess eats for lunch, who serves her food, and who she sits with. Has been continuously updated for 78 days.

Wait, who is the author of that “Complete Analysis of White Snow Princess”? I’ve read that article, it’s not at all a fan-oriented fluff piece. The logic is clear, the data is solid, and it even cites some external reports and police bulletins, speculating that White Snow Princess is actually a former underworld big shot who retired and hid her identity. Although it sounds far-fetched, the chain of evidence he lists is more and more convincing.
[29F Anonymous User]
Same question, and he also described various cool and charming sides of White Snow Princess. Every time I see a charming moment of White Snow Princess, I think of that article. I’m feeling completely unsettled now.

Reply to 28F: The author’s ID is “Modern Strongest Salted Fish,” a new account registered about three months ago. Only posted two threads, one is the ten-thousand-word analysis, the other is “Collection of White Snow Princess’s Heart-fluttering Moments.” Later the collection stopped updating, but the analysis is still maintained.
Ye Fengxue saw this and her eyelid twitched.
Modern Strongest Salted Fish?
She slowly raised her head.
The white-haired girl sitting across from her was lowering her head to bite into a piece of fried chicken, her expression as calm as a pool of still water. She held chopsticks in her right hand, while her left hand lay on the table—and the pinky finger of that left hand was slightly curled, resting on the edge of her phone screen.
The phone screen was still lit, clearly displaying the forum posting interface.
Ye Fengxue suddenly grabbed Lin Lingling’s wrist, moving her hand away from the phone, and lowered her head to look at the screen—sure enough.
It was exactly the posting history of the user “Modern Strongest Salted Fish.”
