Taking a deep breath, Hu Yuying suppressed the emotions surging within her.
Stepping out of the alley once more, she headed toward the place where Long Aotian was renting.
"What's wrong?" Long Aotian asked softly as soon as she reached the door, having been waiting there for her.
Seeing Long Aotian waiting just for her, warmth blossomed in Hu Yuying's heart. She smiled lightly and said, "Nothing, I just really had to use the restroom earlier."
"Were you waiting here just for me, Long Aotian?"
"Of course. Qingxue almost tripped earlier—I just happened to catch her..."
Long Aotian didn’t owe her any explanation, yet he chose to give one anyway.
An indescribable feeling welled up inside Hu Yuying. Tilting her head to look at Long Aotian, her heart swelled with happiness. "I know."
Seeing the sparkle and joy in Hu Yuying’s eyes as she gazed at him, Long Aotian gently ruffled her long hair.
Savoring his touch, Hu Yuying nuzzled lightly against his palm. She loved—absolutely loved—when Long Aotian caressed her like this.
"Promise me something," Long Aotian said. "No matter what it is, don’t keep it bottled up inside. If you’re unhappy, tell me."
"I know, I will," Hu Yuying replied in a soft voice, her tone brimming with reliance on him.
"Long Aotian, can I keep cooking for you?" she asked with a smile. "You said before that once you had your own place, I’d be your little chef, making delicious meals for you every day."
"That sounds perfect. I’ve been craving your lean pork congee and spicy stir-fried chicken—just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
Hearing his words, Hu Yuying felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
"You’re smiling?" Long Aotian mirrored her expression. "You should smile more often. You look so confident and beautiful when you do."
Being praised by Long Aotian made Hu Yuying shy, her cheeks flushing, but more than anything, it filled her with happiness.
......
"I’ve just left the subway station."
Seeing the message, Xue Shaohua took a deep breath and turned to look toward the subway exit.
Sure enough, he spotted a figure sprinting in his direction.
"Over here!" Xue Shaohua waved at Ye Liangchen impatiently. "Why are you so late?"
His tone carried a hint of displeasure.
Ever since deciding to collaborate with Ye Liangchen, Xue Shaohua had been secretly observing Hu Yuying.
That morning, when he saw Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue leaving the school gates, he immediately messaged Ye Liangchen.
But damn it—he only showed up now.
Ye Liangchen rubbed his temples. "Had some things to deal with last night. When I saw your message after waking up, I rushed over without even washing up."
"What’s the situation now?" He clapped Xue Shaohua on the shoulder.
Xue Shaohua sniffed the air, catching a faint but familiar, unpleasant odor.
Noticing Xue Shaohua’s reaction, Ye Liangchen coughed awkwardly and withdrew his hand. "Focus. Tell me what’s happening. I need to make my move soon."
Distracted by Ye Liangchen’s urgency, Xue Shaohua set aside his suspicions and began recounting the details of trailing Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue.
While Xue Shaohua spoke, Ye Liangchen discreetly sniffed his own palm, then quickly wiped it against his pants.
Too close—he’d almost been caught.
He had been busy last night, but not in the way Xue Shauhua might assume.
The long night, combined with the restless energy of youth, had left his mind wandering.
Thoughts of Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and even Lin Wanning had stirred him up.
If not for that bastard Long Aotian, with his knowledge from his past life, he’d have already indulged in all kinds of pleasures.
The more he dwelled on it, the more worked up he became—until he could barely control himself.
Fuelled by frustration, Ye Liangchen had ventured out, intending to charm some women with his looks and charisma.
A little practice before the real deal.
But those ordinary women couldn’t appreciate his avant-garde charm and free spirit.
Left with no other outlet, an overheated Ye Liangchen had returned to his dorm and… relieved himself under the covers.
The aftermath left him drained, oversleeping, and now running late.
But as Xue Shaohua continued, Ye Liangchen’s frown deepened.
Especially when he heard that Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue had entered a courtyard with Long Aotian—alongside a stunning, aloof beauty!
His fists clenched. Anger—pure, boiling anger—surged through him.
Hu Yuying was one thing—Long Aotian had already ruined her back in Haibei City.
But Li Qingxue? And Lin Wanning?
Knowing Long Aotian’s beastly lack of self-control, why would they willingly follow him into a private courtyard?
Once that door closed, who could guarantee Long Aotian wouldn’t do something unforgivable?
Just like in Haibei, at Hu Yuying’s home.
Behind closed doors, he’d revealed his true nature. How could any of those girls resist him?
Ye Liangchen didn’t even want to imagine it.
"What’s wrong with you?" Xue Shaohua asked, eyeing Ye Liangchen’s trembling, clenched fists.
"Keep talking," Ye Liangchen ground out.
"About five minutes ago, Hu Yuying and that coldly beautiful woman came out of the courtyard and went into the supermarket ahead. Hu Yuying was carrying four bottles of water, and the other woman bought something small—she slipped it into her pocket. Then they went back inside. I didn’t dare follow."
Ye Liangchen’s legs nearly gave out.
What kind of item could be small enough to fit in a pocket?
Why did only Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning come out? Where was Li Qingxue?
Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue were closest—so why was Hu Yuying paired with Lin Wanning this time?
There was only one explanation.
They’d run out of condoms.
Long Aotian had used the last one on Li Qingxue, which was why she hadn’t come out with them.
Ye Liangchen shook his head violently. Damn it—he’d overslept, and the sky had fallen!
He didn’t want to think this way, but given Long Aotian’s vile methods in his past life, he had no choice.
Coercion, manipulation, outright force—Long Aotian would stop at nothing.
"You bastard!" Ye Liangchen grabbed Xue Shaohua by the collar, roaring, "Why didn’t you stop them? Why? Why didn’t you do anything?!"
Xue Shaohua shoved him off. "What the hell’s wrong with you? How was I supposed to stop them?"
"They clearly planned this. What right did I have to interfere?"
Xue Shaohua’s words slowly brought Ye Liangchen back to his senses.
He couldn’t let this happen. It was time to step up—just like in his past life.
To save them. To expose Long Aotian’s true, disgusting nature.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Liangchen exhaled slowly, then strode forward with grim determination...

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.
