"Before, you always said you were a proper 'Brother Long,' but turns out Brother Long is the least proper of all," Hu Yuying huffed playfully.
Even with Long Aotian's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed now. It seemed that ever since he'd gotten close to the little girl, it had become impossible to act serious around her.
But after saying this, she suddenly nestled into his arms. "But Brother Long, I’ve realized how clingy I’ve become with you."
Hu Yuying didn’t know how other people acted when they were in love, but for her, she wanted to be by Brother Long’s side every single moment.
Just being near him made her feel incredibly secure, as if she were being pampered beyond measure—because Brother Long knew exactly how to cherish her.
"Aren’t we together right now?" Long Aotian could sense her dependence on him.
This feeling wasn’t new—it had always been there.
"Yeah, we’re together right now," she murmured, tilting her head up to gaze at him with a soft, adoring smile.
"Starting tomorrow, I’ll take you to work and bring you home. We’ll always be together."
Hu Yuying knew this might trouble Brother Long, but she couldn’t help whispering, "Okay."
A small, blissful warmth bloomed in her chest. When she was little, she’d always wished someone would pick her up and drop her off.
Who would’ve thought that now, all grown up, she’d get to experience it with the man she loved? Hehe, her heart was so happy.
Long Aotian adjusted the pillow. "Time to sleep."
"But I’m not sleepy yet," Hu Yuying whined. "Stay up and talk with me a little longer, okay?"
"Then give me a kiss."
"Mwah~" She planted a loud, exaggerated kiss on his cheek, then bit her lip to stifle a giggle. "Happy now?"
"Nope." Long Aotian shook his head. "That was way too fast. I didn’t even feel it."
Watching her blush, her crescent-moon eyes shimmering with affection, he couldn’t resist teasing her.
He’d never get tired of it...
Hu Yuying shot him a coquettish glare. "Brother Long is so mean. Always bullying Yuying."
But despite her words, she willingly leaned in for another kiss.
Feeling the softness of her lips, Long Aotian rolled over, careful not to press on her stomach.
The heat of their bodies seeped into each other, and she wrapped her arms around his waist, her breath coming in warm, uneven puffs. "Brother Long..."
Her sultry voice, her dazed eyes—everything about her melted like water, brimming with longing...
Long Aotian lowered his head, his voice rough with restraint as he whispered by her ear, "Yuying..."
Before he could finish, her lips trailed along his neck, feather-light yet sending waves of electricity coursing through his veins.
"Be gentle, okay?" she breathed, her gaze hazy with desire, sparking flames in the air between them.
The slowest, sweetest indulgence was impossible to resist.
Like a boat drifting on a river, rising and falling in pure bliss...
Dawn’s faint glow eventually broke through the quiet night.
Hu Yuying’s long lashes fluttered as she blinked awake, turning toward the curtains where sunlight peeked through.
She shifted slightly to look at Brother Long, still asleep beside her.
A tender smile curved her lips as she traced his brow with her fingertips.
Memories of last night flooded back, and her fair skin flushed with embarrassment.
After slipping into her underwear, she gathered their scattered clothes, folded them neatly, and placed them on Long Aotian’s bedside before quietly stepping out.
Ding-ding-ding!
The alarm blared. Long Aotian groaned, fumbling for his phone to shut it off.
He was about to doze off again when he suddenly remembered—Yuying!
His eyes snapped open, but the space beside him was empty.
The clothes from last night were now neatly stacked on his nightstand.
Recalling how they’d lost themselves in passion, he smacked his own forehead.
Scrambling out of bed, he threw on his clothes and rushed out.
"Yuying? Yuying?"
No answer. His chest tightened with worry as he grabbed his phone to call her.
Then—her ringtone sounded from outside the front door.
Long Aotian hurried over and swung it open.
There she was, holding breakfast in one hand and fishing her phone from her pocket with the other.
"You scared me half to death," he exhaled, pulling her into a tight embrace.
Waking up without her had left him feeling hollow, like something vital was missing.
Hu Yuying melted into his arms, touched by his concern. "I went to buy breakfast. You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to wake you."
"Next time, just tell me. If I know where you are, I won’t panic. Waking up without you... it’s the worst feeling."
"Okay, okay~ Let’s go eat now," she soothed, smiling. Such a clingy Brother Long...
Even after living in the capital for so long, she still couldn’t get used to the local fermented bean drink.
She took a sip of congee, and before she could swallow, Brother Long peeled an egg and held it to her lips.
He was feeding her!
Giddy, she took a bite—then froze as warmth pooled in her abdomen.
Her smile faltered, replaced by a blush.
Tugging lightly on his sleeve, she hesitated.
Long Aotian brushed a crumb from her lips. "What’s wrong?"
"Brother Long, I... I think... my period just started..."
Hu Yuying wanted to vanish. Had he really... unblocked her?
It had been five days late... and she’d even wondered if...
She peeked at him shyly.
Realization dawned on Long Aotian. Gently ruffling her hair, he said, "Wait here."
As he dashed out, Hu Yuying buried her face in her hands. So embarrassing...
Soon, he returned with a full shopping bag.
After changing, he carried her back to bed.
The moment he set her down, she yanked the covers over her head and mumbled, "S-sorry, Brother Long... My cycle was just late..."
+【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. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore."
