When her relationship with Xu Yuan undergoes a substantive change, her relationships with the others will naturally also undergo subtle changes along with it.
It's not a bad idea to compare this big family to a company. At this moment, the role the Ender Queen plays is just that of an ordinary employee.
But then one day, she miraculously turns around in a dazzling way and leaps to become the boss's wife of this company.
The sudden change of identity makes everything become unusual.
Even though this is not a company in the literal sense, everyone's heartfelt admiration and reverence toward Xu Yuan is something the Ender Queen knows well.
Therefore, it can be predicted that once this situation appears, the others' attitude toward the Ender Queen will definitely change.
The Ender Queen really doesn't want to see such a situation appear.
Although she is just starting to awaken to love, she is absolutely not some naive, inexperienced young girl.
Time flows on, and with her abundant life experience, she understands that emotions in this world are not limited to love alone.
Of course, love is wonderful beyond words. But it is by no means the entirety of life, at most it's just a seasoning in life.
If one were to lose oneself in love, even to the point of destroying the deep familial bonds with everyone that were built through countless hardships, then the Ender Queen would definitely not choose love.
So the words she just spoke to everyone were not perfunctory, but came from the bottom of her heart.
She dares to face her own emotions, yet she doesn't want this to bring trouble to Xu Yuan or to the others.
Therefore, she only wishes to confess openly to everyone, but she absolutely doesn't expect them to act as matchmakers from it.
She longs to protect this feeling, and at the same time also hopes to rediscover herself.
Precisely because she has never had such an experience before, she cannot find a solution by herself.
The Void is about to materialize, the great battle is about to arrive.
She has no time to slowly digest these things on her own. If because of her personal matters the progress of the entire event is affected, she would never forgive herself.
That's why she spoke it out loud, wanting everyone to help her solve this problem together.
Hearing the Ender Queen's words, everyone's expressions were still very polarized.
Dread Lord, Dragon Prophet, and Last Dancer all had gratified expressions on their faces, but at the same time seemed not to have thought of a solution yet, each secretly pondering.
After hearing the Ender Queen reveal her feelings, of course they would also think about the deeper impact this matter would bring.
They can understand why the Ender Queen would develop feelings for Xu Yuan.
On the contrary, if the Ender Queen had no feelings for Xu Yuan, wouldn't that be strange?
If it were really like that, they'd probably start doubting the Ender Queen's sexual orientation.
These three actually all see the Ender Queen as a junior. From the perspective of elders, of course they want to see her find happiness of her own.
But their sense of the bigger picture is also very strong.
In the current war situation, if the Ender Queen were still considering romance with Xu Yuan, that would be the most troublesome thing.
So when the Ender Queen spoke those words, that's why they felt relieved.
The Ender Queen did not sink into personal romance. What she thinks and considers is still prioritizing the bigger picture.
This also allowed them to settle their hearts. Right now, what they need to do is just resolve the Ender Queen's request.
But although these three have rich experience and perhaps have had love before, in the end they are all men.
The way of thinking between men and women still has big differences, especially in matters of feelings.
So for the moment, they were also quite at a loss, unable to think of a way to solve the Ender Queen's predicament.
If even these three experienced ones can't figure it out, then there's no need to mention the others…
After all, how can you expect a wolf, a romance-insulated blockhead, a product born from evil thoughts, and a buy-one-get-one-free melon-eating crowd to help?…
At this moment, seeing everyone silent, the Ender Queen couldn't help but sigh.
"Everyone can't think of a solution…"
Seeing that nobody spoke, Steve glanced around, hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.
Even though Steve has already joined Xu Yuan's team, in the eyes of these people, Steve can only be considered a stranger on the same side.
For the Ender Queen to be able to say such things in front of him already gave Steve a lot of face.
At this kind of "family gathering," when the others, the real family, hadn't spoken yet, Steve always felt that as an outsider he shouldn't overshadow them.
Just as he was thinking, unexpectedly the Ender Queen walked over to him.
As if seeing through Steve's thoughts, the Ender Queen spoke directly.
"Since I didn't avoid you when I said those words just now, that means I don't see you as an outsider."
"You don't need to worry, I'm all ears."
Since Steve is able to stand here, that shows he has already received Xu Yuan's recognition.
And someone Xu Yuan recognizes, naturally the others would not keep anything hidden from him either.
As soon as the Ender Queen's words fell, everyone's gazes gathered.
Seeing the Ender Queen take the initiative to speak to Steve, Entity 303 couldn't help but be surprised.
"What??"
"You brat, you know the solution?"
Saying that, he squinted his eyes, looked Steve up and down, then said.
"You brat's probably about the same age as me, right?"
"So many old geezers can't solve this problem, but you can??"
Saying that, he leaned closer to Steve, gave another look.
"Hiss…"
"Don't tell me you're some kind of love expert??"
"That can't be… with your conditions…"
At first, when Steve heard the Ender Queen's words, he was quite touched. He could feel that everyone here didn't see him as an outsider.
But once Entity 303 spoke, all the emotion Steve had just been building instantly burst like a bubble.
He wasn't sure if the others saw him as an outsider, but this buddy Entity 303 definitely didn't.
"Ahem…"
Seeing this, Steve lightly coughed twice, then used his hand to push up the imaginary glasses that didn't exist on his nose.
"I, though unworthy, am not a playboy of the love field, but I have indeed been stained by the dust of the mortal world…"
Seeing Steve speak such nonsense with a straight face, Entity 303 couldn't help but cut him off.
"Enough, enough! Stop with the flowery words!"
"Hurry up and get to the point!"
This was a case of the eunuch being more anxious than the emperor. Mainly because Steve seemed to be about the same age as him.
When it comes to love, Entity 303 knows nothing at all, and he really didn't expect Steve to actually know.
He was also curious what Steve could actually say.
Seeing this, Steve no longer kept them guessing, and spoke directly.
"Actually, the moment you realized you had lost yourself, you had already picked it up again."
"When trapped in the whirlpool of feelings, there are usually two difficult problems."
"One, losing yourself without realizing it."
"Two, realizing you've lost yourself, yet still sinking deeper, unable to pull free."
"But just now you already realized you had lost yourself."
"And then, those words you just said are enough to prove that you have already made your choice. Your self is actually placed above love."
That the Ender Queen could say those words just now really shocked Steve.
He hadn't expected the Ender Queen to wake up this quickly.
It showed that her core is actually very strong. She is not the kind of little woman who has to depend on love to live.
She understands very clearly what she wants, so she won't be stuck in romance.
Her words just now couldn't help but remind Steve of his mother.
Steve's parents divorced in his third year of high school.
Senior year, for a student it should be the most important period.
He was about to face the college entrance exams, the so-called turning point of life.
Yet at exactly that time, his mother asked his father for a divorce.
At that time, people around them all criticized and scolded his mother, but no one could truly understand her pain and helplessness inside.
Even Steve himself back then was like this.
Even though he knew his father treated his mother extremely badly, even though he clearly felt his mother's depression at home.
Even though he understood his parents already had no feelings for each other…
He still couldn't understand why his mother had to choose to ask for divorce at that critical time that concerned his life's turning point.
But faced with everyone's strong dissuasion and her son's confusion, his mother still firmly chose to leave.
On the day his mother told Steve her decision, she spoke to him earnestly.
"Child, I know you cannot accept my actions now, you may even resent me."
"But, for a person to live in this world, they must first learn how to be themselves. Only then do they have the qualification to take on other roles."
"So, you must remember: only after first becoming yourself can you be qualified to be a father, a husband, and all the other identities."
"If you lose yourself, then in this life you may never again find happiness or joy."
These words Steve always remembered, and to this day they are still fresh in his memory.
In the past, Steve didn't understand them, but as the years passed and his experience grew, he finally understood what his mother meant.
Did he resent his mother? Back then, yes, he definitely did.
After all, her actions at that time were too selfish, as if she only had herself in her eyes.
But looking back now, Steve couldn't help but reflect, wasn't he himself selfish back then too?
At that time, his mother was already on the verge of collapse, yet he still hoped she could think more of him, not interfere with his studies.
His mother had already given so much, already exhausted, living like a shadow of a person, yet he still selfishly wanted her to keep giving.
Because he thought all of that was simply what a mother was supposed to do.
And after being tempered by society, after tasting life's hardships, Steve finally gained a deeper understanding of his mother.
Not only that, he even truly admired and envied her.
Because he knew deeply how hard it is, in such a real social environment, to truly be yourself.
Even now, he can only find his true self in this virtual game world, to do the things his heart really longs for, and even for that, he has spent a long time.
It's precisely because of this that Steve truly admires those who dare to be themselves.
It's precisely because of this that he was surprised by what just happened.
His mother spent half a lifetime to find herself again, but the Ender Queen, after realizing this, immediately made her choice.
Hearing Steve's words, before the Ender Queen could respond, Entity 303 couldn't help but complain.
"What are you even talking about?"
"Really is like 'hearing your words is like… hearing your words'!"
"If that's all it is, I can say it too!"
"…"
It's hard to blame Entity 303, he really couldn't understand these things.
