Like that, pull me along, or I won't be able to control myself

“Stop looking, you look so pathetic.”

Gao Quan awkwardly withdrew his gaze: “Chen ge, that female classmate is really beautiful, especially that charming and shy aura, even Li Qingxue can't compare to her.”

Ye Liangchen chuckled.

Of course, she's his treasure girl. The word **treasure** already perfectly encapsulates Hu Yuying's place in Ye Liangchen's heart.

It's also because Hu Yuying is so charming that Long Aotian went crazy trying to win her over.

“Her name is Hu Yuying. Believe it or not, her future husband will be me.” Ye Liangchen confidently flicked his fringe and smirked.

“Chen ge, you didn't even look at her, and you still dare to make such big claims? And what about your pursuit of Li Qingxue?”

“What if Li Qingxue becomes my wife in the future too?” Ye Liangchen rubbed his forehead, acting as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Gao Quan was stunned: “Chen ge, are you feverish? Should I take you to the infirmary?”

“It's still broad daylight, and you're already having daydreams?”

Forget about Li Qingxue.

Just take a look at that female classmate who always hangs around Long Aotian.

That’s Long Aotian, the infamous troublemaker of the whole school.

He’s known for fighting, skipping classes, openly defying teachers, and doing every bad thing imaginable during school years.

To go up against such a person for a girl is practically asking for a beating, isn’t it?

With Chen ge’s build, Long Aotian would probably knock him out with just one kick!

That's why Gao Quan thought Ye Liangchen was really sick, and not just a little bit!

Ye Liangchen confidently sipped some soup: “How about a bet?”

“What are we betting on?”

“We’ll bet whether Li Qingxue and Hu Yuying will become my wives in the future. If I lose, I’ll pay for all our outings.”

“And if you lose, you’ll pay for our outings.”

Gao Quan rolled his eyes: “Chen ge, you’re really good at blowing things out of proportion. Marriage is at least after college graduation, right? That’s way too far off for me.”

“What if I say that by the end of this summer’s college entrance exam, they’ll both be my girlfriends?” Ye Liangchen smiled confidently.

Gao Quan burst out laughing, finding it hilarious.

His eyes practically narrowed into slits: “Did you just say that after the college entrance exam, both Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue will be your girlfriends? Chen ge, if you want to invite me out, you don’t have to go that far!”

“Tonight, I’ll go home and check out famous travel spots around the world. After the exam, you’ll take me there, hehehe...”

Ye Liangchen raised an eyebrow: “Actually, I wasn’t being entirely precise!”

“After the college entrance exam, Hu Yuying will become my girlfriend, and Li Qingxue will chase after me, wanting to be my girlfriend.”

For Gao Quan, this was beyond outrageous, it was downright exaggerated!

Hu Yuying becoming his girlfriend was already too absurd.

Gao Quan couldn’t even imagine how Long Aotian would deal with Ye Liangchen if he dared to steal his girlfriend!

And on top of that, he claimed Li Qingxue would chase after him?

This was no longer absurd but outright explosive. Ye Liangchen had been chasing Li Qingxue for years.

If Li Qingxue really wanted to chase after him, why didn’t she accept his confession?

“If that really happens, wherever you say, I’ll go. I’ll even use all the New Year’s money I’ve saved up!”

It wasn’t that Gao Quan was picking a fight, but Ye Liangchen’s bragging was just too much, even for the usually reliable Gao Quan.

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

Ye Liangchen shook his head helplessly. The bet was just a joke, but he enjoyed seeing Gao Quan’s jaw-dropping reaction later.

Hopefully, he wouldn’t be too stunned to speak.

“Woah, Chen ge, Long Aotian is flirting with your wife.” Gao Quan suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Liangchen quickly turned around.

What he saw was a scene that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Long Aotian, that beast, actually reached out and stroked Hu Yuying’s delicate cheek.

In an instant, the anger he had just suppressed surged back up!

If it weren’t for the crowd, if he didn’t want to reveal his violent side in front of Gao Quan, he would have already charged over to fight Long Aotian!

He clenched his fists tightly and abruptly stood up from his chair.

“Chen ge, don’t be impulsive.” Gao Quan hurriedly tried to dissuade him, convinced that what Chen ge had said earlier was just a joke.

If he really went to provoke Long Aotian in such a state, Ye Liangchen would definitely end up with a busted head.

Ye Liangchen gritted his teeth, the words slowly squeezing through his teeth: “Yes, hold me back like that. Otherwise, I’m afraid I might rush over and take on Long Aotian right now!”

And so, Ye Liangchen was dragged out of the cafeteria by Gao Quan.

The commotion they caused made the people eating in the cafeteria glance at them.

Long Aotian also looked over briefly before turning his gaze back to Hu Yuying: “You look like you’re starved to death, even your lips are smeared.”

Hu Yuying, holding her chopsticks, stared blankly at Long Aotian, her beautiful eyes glittering, her slightly parted red lips revealing a bit of rice.

But she seemed to have forgotten how to chew, just staring at Long Aotian in a daze.

Her lips still felt the lingering warmth of Long Aotian’s fingertips.

“What are you staring at? Do I have food on my face?” Long Aotian chuckled at Hu Yuying’s adorable yet charming expression: “Eat slowly, I eat fast.”

“This time is for digestion while I wait for you.”

He had always eaten quickly, and when Hu Yuying saw him almost done, the silly girl didn’t know what she was thinking. Her mouth was already full, yet she kept shoveling rice into it, as if she wasn’t afraid of choking...

Hearing Long Aotian’s words, Hu Yuying nodded slightly, then lowered her gaze and obediently continued eating.

During the meal, she pursed her lips, sneakily glanced at Long Aotian, then quickly looked away as if startled by a rabbit.

A barely noticeable smile curved her lips. The sunlight today was so good, she felt so happy today, and the rice today was so sweet...

“I'm done.” Hu Yuying softly said to Long Aotian, then started to clear the dishes.

As they walked out of the cafeteria,

the originally furious Ye Liangchen, upon seeing Long Aotian leading Hu Yuying out,

immediately turned around and stood with his back to them!

After they had walked far enough,

Ye Liangchen suddenly turned around, glaring viciously at Long Aotian’s back.

“Quan, if you hadn’t held me back earlier, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to control myself!” Ye Liangchen spoke gravely.

Gao Quan twitched his mouth. He hadn’t actually held him back...

Swallowing hard, Gao Quan whispered: “Chen ge, maybe we should go to the infirmary?”

“I think you might be under too much pressure lately, your mind’s a bit messed up.”

“I’m fine, Quan, don’t you believe in me?”

“I’m very clear-headed, very rational right now.” Ye Liangchen took a deep breath: “More clear-headed and rational than ever before!”

Gao Quan sighed in exasperation.

Not only did he fantasize about Long Aotian’s girlfriend being his own, but also claimed that Li Qingxue would chase after him.

Last Friday, he randomly picked a fight with someone and got beaten up.

And then, he wanted Gao Quan to spread that embarrassing story around.

Now that he thought about it, the problems had been there for a while.

It seemed that Li Qingxue rejecting Chen ge really took a toll on him...

Of course, Gao Quan didn’t say this out loud to Ye Liangchen, or else he didn’t know what reaction he would get!
