"You know so much, and you're so beautiful. Whoever gets to be your boyfriend in the future will be the luckiest guy alive. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself." Li Qingxue teased half-jokingly. At least from Lin Wanning’s tone, she could tell that Wanning still had feelings for Long Aotian.
She wasn’t any different herself, but as a good friend, this was all she could say to comfort Wanning.
If anyone was to blame, it was Long Aotian—his looks and personality had completely captured the hearts of their little trio...
"Of course," Lin Wanning flicked her long hair, her cool expression softening into a smile. "I’m beautiful, I know a lot, I can sing, I can dance..."
Li Qingxue shot her a skeptical look. "We’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve never even heard you sing."
"Then let’s go sing today?"
"Sure!" Li Qingxue was all for the idea.
Back in Haiwan City during graduation season, she’d been to a KTV once. It had been lively with so many familiar faces around.
"Won’t it be a bit dull with just the two of us?"
At that, the two girls exchanged a glance before immediately pulling out their phones to call Hu Yuying.
The call connected quickly.
"Wanning, what’s up?" Hu Yuying asked softly.
"Yuying, what are you doing?"
"I’m washing Long-ge’s underwear," Hu Yuying whispered. After everything that had happened last night, the three of them had grown even closer, and there was nothing they couldn’t talk about.
Besides, she didn’t feel embarrassed washing her man’s clothes.
"Stop washing, come hang out with us," Li Qingxue chimed in.
"Weren’t you two tired? And I’m almost done anyway."
"I’ll send you the location. Hurry up and meet us, okay?"
"Got it."
After hanging up, Hu Yuying gave the freshly washed underwear a shake before heading inside to hang it up.
Not long after, the workers arrived, and Long Aotian returned home.
Hu Yuying hurried over to him, though she couldn’t help feeling a little shy in front of so many people.
Long Aotian took her hand, exchanged a quick word with the foreman, then led her out of the courtyard.
"Long-ge, Wanning and Qingxue invited me out. You should come too."
"Where to?"
Hu Yuying showed him the location—not far, near the music college.
After a moment’s thought, he said, "I’ll drop you off first. I’ll join you later."
"Long-ge, do you have something else to do? If you’re busy, I can go by myself." Hu Yuying was always considerate of him.
"I want to go back to campus and shower, change clothes." Long Aotian glanced down at himself with a smile.
He hadn’t cared much before, but now, he wanted to look his best standing beside Hu Yuying.
"Long-ge is handsome no matter what." Hu Yuying beamed at him.
"Sweet talker. Did you sneak some honey today?" Long Aotian leaned in slightly.
Hu Yuying bit her lower lip, hands clasped behind her back, her shy gaze flickering away as she murmured, "Then... does Long-ge want a taste?"
Her bright eyes shimmered with mischief and an indescribable allure, looking up at him like a cunning little fox, enough to make his heart race.
He grabbed her slender waist—this girl had learned how to tease him, and it stirred an urge in him to claim her right then and there. "Little minx."
"I’m not a minx. I’m Long-ge’s little follower." The coyness in her gaze made her the perfect blend of innocence and temptation.
"Ahem... So... are you coming back tonight...?"
Hu Yuying blinked at him in confusion. "Long-ge, what did you just say?"
"Don’t play dumb. You heard me. Be careful or I’ll spank you!" Long Aotian’s ears flushed red. He really had no defense against her now.
"But I really didn’t hear! Say it again, and this time I’ll listen carefully." She batted her lashes, the picture of innocence, as if she truly hadn’t caught his words.
Long Aotian glanced around before quickly whispering in her ear, "Are you coming back tonight?"
"Nope." Hu Yuying suddenly grinned. "That’s not what Long-ge said earlier."
Before he could react, she wrapped her arms around his neck, keeping him bent toward her. "Yuying is definitely coming back tonight."
The sudden flirtation made even Long Aotian’s thick-skinned self falter, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Just one night, and he could already see how much she’d changed.
Before, if he cracked a risqué joke, she’d just blush and fumble awkwardly, trying to play along.
Now, not only did she not falter, she even flirted back—how was anyone supposed to handle that?
Hearing his heartbeat, Hu Yuying silently cheered herself on. After cramming all night, she felt unstoppable now!
Arriving at the location Lin Wanning had sent, she couldn’t wait to share her newfound confidence with her friends.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian headed toward campus, already plotting how he’d punish Hu Yuying tonight.
Back in the dorm, he was surprised to find both Huang Fei and Li Longlong holed up inside.
"Whoa, Aotian, you actually came back?" Li Longlong gaped at him like he was some rare creature. "Seven-day break, and you only spent one day here? Where’ve you been living it up?"
Long Aotian tossed him a pack of cigarettes and started changing.
"What’s Huang Fei up to?" He nodded at the lump under the blankets.
"Huang’s a lost cause. Completely glued to his phone." Li Longlong lit a cigarette. "He’s been chatting nonstop with Shen Mengjie..."
"I’m gonna shower." Long Aotian grabbed his towel and left.
The moment the door closed, Huang Fei suddenly snapped out of it, looking at Li Longlong. "Who just left?"
"Aotian’s been back for a while. You’re done for, man. You’ve fallen hard..."
"I got too excited! Shen Mengjie agreed to go out with me tomorrow. I need to get myself together."
"Dude, classes start tomorrow afternoon. What can you even do in one morning?"
"You don’t get it. This is pure love!" With that, he grabbed his towel and rushed after Long Aotian, eager to share the good news...
