Awesome

"You can imagine something happy, don’t look at the camera—the most perfect moments come naturally."

As he spoke, he handed Hu Yuying a piece of candy and whispered in her ear, "Go on, I hope your mood becomes as sweet as this candy."

With the candy in her mouth, Hu Yuying smiled at Long Aotian, her unguarded expression radiating an innocence untouched by the world.

Such purity wasn’t something she could show all the time, but even a fleeting moment like this was enough to stir an intense desire in others—both to possess and to protect.

Holding the colorful candy wrapper up to the sunlight, she seemed to want to see the vibrant world through its prism. Just standing there, she was utterly captivating.

Long Aotian slowly lowered his phone. In this state, Hu Yuying was at her most perfect, her most genuine.

"Bro, have some water." Lin Wanning handed Long Aotian a water bottle and took the phone to check the results.

Seeing this, Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue also gathered around.

"Yuying, you look so beautiful."

Watching the recording, where Hu Yuying’s natural charm and delicate allure shone through, Li Qingxue couldn’t help but murmur her admiration.

"It’s all because Long Ge captured me so well." Hu Yuying’s gaze kept drifting toward her "Long Ge" as she spoke.

Long Ge was truly amazing—it seemed like nothing was beyond his abilities, as if there was nothing in this world he couldn’t do.

The three of them had originally planned to take photos of each other today, but no matter how they tried, they weren’t satisfied with the results.

Finally, at Li Qingxue’s suggestion, Hu Yuying called Long Aotian for help.

And just like that, he arrived, turning what had seemed so complicated into something effortlessly simple.

Her Long Ge was truly the greatest in the world!

Listening to the trio’s endless praise, Long Aotian couldn’t help but feel a small swell of pride.

With a grand gesture, he led them all to an internet café.

Removing the memory card from his phone, he inserted it into a USB drive and connected it to a computer.

Then he nudged Li Qingxue into the seat.

When it came to computers, Long Aotian was actually less skilled than Li Qingxue.

"Finally, it’s my time to shine!" Li Qingxue rolled up her sleeves.

After a flurry of keystrokes, a link appeared beneath their posts—clicking it would take viewers straight to their online store.

Long Aotian tested it out, receiving the post Li Qingxue had shared, and clicked the link to enter her store.

The store’s design was undeniably girly, with Li Qingxue herself modeling all the products.

The cool girl’s radiant smile, the stars in her eyes—nothing could compare to her dazzling expression.

"Hmph, pretty good, right? The three of us worked on it for ages." Li Qingxue couldn’t hide her pride.

This was her first time setting up an online store, and she had been determined to make it perfect. All three of them had poured their hearts into it.

"So, have you figured out how to attract traffic?"

The trio exchanged glances, then nodded solemnly.

The outfits Long Aotian had coordinated for them were all stunning.

For the past week, they had worn a different set every day, never repeating a look.

At school, in their classes, they had drawn plenty of attention.

In an era dominated by high-saturation, tight crop tops and low-rise flared jeans, the outfits Long Aotian had put together for them stood out brilliantly.

At the very least, even Hu Yuying’s roommates had been asking where she bought her clothes, expressing how much they loved them and wanted to buy the same.

After all, what girl didn’t love looking beautiful?

A stylish outfit could truly elevate one’s entire image.

Before this, the three of them had been brimming with confidence.

But now that the moment had arrived, they realized they weren’t as brave as they’d thought.

Holding their phones, they hesitated, none daring to hit "post."

Even Li Qingxue, usually the boldest, was no exception.

Seeing their expressions, Long Aotian pulled over a chair and motioned for them to sit.

"Often, we’re afraid to do something."

"But fear doesn’t mean we lack ability—it’s just that our overthinking minds create too many worries."

"Worries like, ‘What happens after we post? What if we fail? Will people laugh at us?’"

As he spoke, Long Aotian looked at the trio.

Sure enough, all three were staring at him intently.

He couldn’t help but chuckle. "There’s no need for so much hesitation. All these worries exist because you haven’t taken the first step."

"Once you take that first step boldly, you’ll realize many things aren’t as hard as they seem."

"Our lives are still long—why not try being brave just once?"

Long Aotian understood their hesitation all too well.

It was like when he had started his own business. He’d kept telling himself, "It’s no big deal. If I fail, I’ll just get back up."

But deep down, he had desperately wanted to succeed—no, he had needed to succeed.

That inner conflict had brought its own pressure.

If even an adult struggled with that pressure, how much harder must it be for these three?

Online shopping was destined to become one of the world’s dominant trends.

In the future, they would surely be grateful they’d made this brave decision today.

Hu Yuying, who had spent the most time by Long Ge’s side and shared countless unforgettable moments with him, took a deep breath.

Long Ge had taught her so much, given her so many valuable lessons. He had set the stage—if she still couldn’t muster the courage to take this step, she’d be letting him down.

"Your little follower has grown up." She had whispered this to him more than once.

Now, it was time to prove it.

She tapped "post."

The moment it went live, it was as if all her worries could no longer hold her back.

Inspired by Hu Yuying’s lead, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning also hit "post."

Beautiful girls always received a little extra kindness—especially when they were as uniquely stunning as these three.

Soon, their group chat buzzed with activity.

At the same time, their online stores began flooding with visitors.

Suddenly, Hu Yuying covered her mouth with her hand, her face a mix of disbelief and exhilaration.

"S-someone placed an order! Someone actually bought something!"

Her voice trembled with excitement, a blend of joy and overwhelming emotion.

The first time was always the most nerve-wracking.

"Long Aotian, check mine—did someone order from me too?"

"Ge, what about mine…?"

Seeing Long Aotian nod, the trio could hardly contain their happiness.

Li Qingxue leaped up, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

Lin Wanning, ever reserved, couldn’t match Li Qingxue’s exuberance, but her lips curled into a smile, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, unable to hide the delight spilling from them.

Hu Yuying rushed to Long Aotian’s side, grabbing his hand and shaking it excitedly, too overwhelmed to put her feelings into words.

Long Aotian smiled, sensing the joy radiating from Hu Yuying’s heart. He reached out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, then leaned closer, his usually cool voice softening with warmth: "Well done."

[Thank you for the support and gifts, and for always being by my side. Sending love—you’re the best!]
