After waiting for a long time, Ye Liangchen still hadn't received a reply from Li Qingxue.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Based on his dream memories, after saying something like that, Li Qingxue should have sent him a flood of messages.
But now, the chat box didn't even show that she was typing.
"Could it be that she's crying from excitement?"
That wasn't impossible.
In his dream, when Li Qingxue realized that she had unknowingly fallen in love with him over the years, she had become like a fragile heroine, crying at the drop of a hat.
She would cry when she couldn't see him, cry when she saw him, and cry even more when she saw him with the "treasure girl." In just a few days, she had become a picture of heartbreak.
Now, after realizing her mistakes, she was probably secretly weeping.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Liangchen muttered to himself, "If only you had known better earlier."
"Only after losing something do people start to regret and learn to cherish it, but no one will wait for you forever."
Thinking this, Ye Liangchen sighed softly and then called Gao Quan.
"Hey, don't you have Li Qingxue's classmate's QQ number? Tell her to comfort Li Qingxue and ask her to stop crying."
"Right, just say it's a message from me."
After hanging up, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Ye Liangchen's lips.
If Li Qingxue's classmate really passed on the message, Li Qingxue would probably become even more attached to him—such a gentle and understanding person.
Putting his phone aside, he walked to the curtains and pulled them open.
Sunlight streamed into the room.
Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, spread his arms wide, and faced the view outside the window. "A beautiful day, here I come!"
"My treasure girl, wait for me."
With that, he changed into his most dashing outfit from the wardrobe and left home.
"It's been a while since I rode you. Let me relive my youthful days."
Ye Liangchen stroked his bicycle, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
He remembered from his dream how he had ridden this very bicycle with the treasure girl, freely roaming the campus.
It was a brief moment of peace that belonged only to him and her.
But as time passed, as the treasure girl became a successful entrepreneur, as his first love rose to become a venture capital queen, and as his childhood friend became a star in the entertainment industry, luxury cars surrounded him, and the memory of this bicycle had faded.
Now, seeing the bicycle again, his heart felt a strange mix of emotions.
Perhaps "novelty" was the best word to describe how he felt.
Riding the bike, he pedaled into the sunlight and left the neighborhood.
Following the memories in his mind, Ye Liangchen arrived at Nanfeng Plaza.
After parking his bike, he began wandering around the plaza.
In his memories, every Saturday, Hu Yuying would work part-time at the plaza.
Although the pay wasn't much, Hu Yuying was frugal and always managed to stretch her earnings until the next Saturday.
Her grandparents were already quite old, and it was already a struggle for them to scrape together her tuition fees. So, Hu Yuying didn't want to burden them further.
Even when she faced bullying or hardship outside, she kept it to herself, burying the pain deep inside and forcing herself to appear cheerful in front of her grandparents.
What a wonderful girl.
Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen's hatred for Long Aotian grew even stronger.
"Damn Long Aotian, it's all because of you that my treasure girl suffered. Just you wait!"
"Once I grow stronger, you'll get what's coming to you!"
With that thought, Ye Liangchen barely managed to suppress his anger.
After his recent heart-to-heart with Gao Quan—discussing meeting the right person at the right time—Ye Liangchen's inner turmoil had eased somewhat.
He wasn't afraid of Long Aotian; it was just that, at the wrong time, he couldn't save the treasure girl.
Only after she had endured humiliation and suffering would his appearance be seen as a salvation.
And only then could he leave an indelible mark in her heart!
With that thought, Ye Liangchen snapped back to reality. "But that's all in the future. For now, I should focus on caring for the treasure girl and laying the groundwork so that, when the time comes, I can enter her heart even sooner."
Nanfeng Plaza was vast. Guided by his dream memories, Ye Liangchen searched for the places where the treasure girl might be working.
Since she only worked part-time on Saturday mornings and had to study in the afternoon, her work locations changed every week.
Even with his dream memories, Ye Liangchen couldn't immediately pinpoint where she was working today.
He could only wander aimlessly.
But Ye Liangchen believed in the deep bond between him and the treasure girl.
He would definitely find her!
Holding onto this belief, Ye Liangchen continued walking forward.
As he passed a corner, his steps paused, and his gaze softened.
A gentle smile even crept onto his lips.
He wanted to approach her immediately, but his raised foot froze mid-air.
Recalling their previous encounters, he realized that the treasure girl still had a strong resistance toward men.
After some thought, he walked into a nearby milk tea shop.
Gritting his teeth, he used his pocket money to buy two cups of pearl milk tea.
After all, he didn't have much money to spare, and the milk tea was ridiculously expensive.
But thinking of how the treasure girl would look when she tasted pearl milk tea for the first time, Ye Liangchen reluctantly paid up.
"Hello, Hu Yuying. What a coincidence, running into you again," Ye Liangchen said with a bright smile, holding the two cups of milk tea.
Hu Yuying, who was handing out flyers, instinctively looked up when she heard her name.
Her eyes met Ye Liangchen's.
Then, as if by reflex, she took a step back, putting distance between them.
Seeing the treasure girl retreat from him, Ye Liangchen's heart ached.
From his dream, he knew that Hu Yuying had been hurt so much that she instinctively distrusted men.
But it didn't matter. He would use love to heal her, to save her, and eventually win her heart once more.
"What a coincidence! Including this time, I think we've met three times now."
Although he often observed the treasure girl from afar, this was only the third time he had actually appeared in front of her.
"I accidentally bought two cups of really delicious pearl milk tea just now. I can't finish both, so here, this one's for you," Ye Liangchen said, handing one of the cups to Hu Yuying.
Hu Yuying glanced at the milk tea in his hand, thinking to herself, "If you can't finish it, why did you buy two?"
Then she remembered her older brother's advice: "If you ever meet someone who's not all there, just walk away."
It seemed her brother was right.
So she immediately shook her head. "No, thank you..."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
