Chapter 30
"Throughout a person's life, they will experience many things. Do what you believe is right, regardless of what others say, because you are you, and only then come others."
"Let me tell you, no one is more important than yourself. In the face of interests, you must learn to make choices; that is the norm of life."
This was Long Aotian speaking to Hu Yuying from the perspective of an adult.
Though his words were rather pragmatic, they were inevitable truths. He didn't expect Hu Yuying to understand them right away; he just hoped she would make the right choices.
Class One!
As the bell rang for class, Li Qingxue, the class monitor, needed to distribute the test papers for their last self-study session.
Approaching Ye Liangchen, Li Qingxue looked at him calmly and said, "I've come to understand my past mistakes. I won't repeat them, and I hope we can still be good friends."
After saying this, she handed the test paper to Ye Liangchen.
Today, she had come to school without speaking to him, instead chatting with her deskmate about some holiday events.
It turned out that friendship is just like this.
One cannot demand that someone must always be by their side; that’s not what true friendship is.
She wanted to admit her mistakes to Ye Liangchen, but her pride as a girl was strong, especially since he had recently said those things to her in public...
So, she seized the moment while distributing the papers to confess her errors.
It was her inability to distinguish feelings that had given Ye Liangchen the wrong impression all along.
After saying this, Li Qingxue felt much lighter. Before she encountered someone who would make her heart race, she would learn to manage the distance with the opposite sex.
Hearing Li Qingxue's words, Ye Liangchen didn’t feel happy; instead, he frowned.
"What does that mean?"
"Shouldn't she be questioning herself about why she posted that?"
He furrowed his brow deeply, but the next moment, it relaxed, and a smile crept onto his lips.
He thought he understood...

**Chapter 36: You Need to Learn to Adapt Quickly**
Li Qingxue was playing hard to get.
On the surface, she pretended to be indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
In reality, her approach to speak to him said it all.
And saying, "I hope we can still be good friends," was clearly a test.
If he couldn’t resist the urge to approach her now, wouldn’t that indirectly show how much he still cared about her?
Taking a deep breath, Ye Liangchen decided to remain still.
He knew that Li Qingxue was only doing this because she hadn’t reached her psychological limit yet.
Only when she saw him with the treasure girl would she truly regret her actions!
"Chen Ge, what does Li Qingxue mean?" Gao Quan asked quietly, watching her retreating figure.
"Don’t worry about it; she’s just playing hard to get with me," Ye Liangchen replied confidently.
"Really? I feel like Li Qingxue has decided to treat you like an ordinary friend."
Ye Liangchen glanced at Li Qingxue's back. "You’re mistaken; time will prove everything."
"Quan, sometimes you view things too one-sidedly. That won’t do, but don’t worry, I’ve got this."
Ye Liangchen smiled confidently; it was just a matter of time.
Once he truly began a bond with the treasure girl, Li Qingxue would understand her true feelings for him.
Right now, she was just putting on a brave face, wanting to gauge his attitude!
In his dreams, before he met the treasure girl, Li Qingxue had been the same.
She always thought she would be the first to back down, to give up all her pride and reach out to him.
But when she truly saw him openly favoring other girls, she would feel heartache, jealousy, and ultimately regret, awakening to the truth!
Originally, Ye Liangchen had only thought this way because he had experienced it all in his dreams.
But what confirmed his thoughts was when Li Qingxue returned to her seat after distributing the papers, and instead of looking at anyone else, she turned to glance at him.
"Quan, did you see that? Li Qingxue just stole a look at me again."
"I saw it!" Gao Quan had doubted his own eyes.
He had also noticed Li Qingxue glance back at their spot before returning to her seat.
Gao Quan knew he had no advantage, so that glance was definitely not for him but for Ye Liangchen!
"Wow, Chen Ge, could it be true what you said? Is Li Qingxue really playing hard to get with you?"
"Of course! Otherwise, explain why she’s not looking at anyone else but me?" Ye Liangchen couldn’t hide his smugness.
"So, what are you really thinking?" Gao Quan asked.
Ye Liangchen sighed slightly, "My thoughts aren’t important; what matters is what Li Qingxue thinks."
"After school, I need you to do something for me."
"What is it?" Gao Quan asked.
"Just say that on Friday, I got into a fight to defend our classmates against some outsiders."
"Huh?" Gao Quan was puzzled.
He had already heard many rumors about how Chen Ge had been cornered and beaten up at the school gate on Friday.
He couldn’t understand why Ye Liangchen would want to publicize such an embarrassing incident.
Not responding to Gao Quan’s confusion, Ye Liangchen just smiled, "Just do as I say."
Recalling the wonderful time he had spent with Hu Yuying on Saturday, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Ye Liangchen’s face.
But soon, that smile faded.
"Damn Long Aotian, what did you do to Hu Yuying that day?"
"How dare you take her away and bully her right under my nose! You really don’t take me seriously!"
"I’ll remember this debt. Every bit of harm you’ve done to my treasure girl, I’ll make you pay back a hundredfold!"
With that thought, Ye Liangchen narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath!
The class bell rang.
Gao Quan stepped out of the classroom.
Before long, the rumor about Ye Liangchen getting into a fight to defend their classmates spread.
Quickly, this news reached Class Seven.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuying was momentarily taken aback.
But Long Aotian was stunned for a moment.
He couldn’t help but marvel at the male lead's sincerity and kindness.
Even before meeting the female lead, he was already helping her in unseen ways.
Ye Liangchen had come out early, leaning against the railing at the stairway, looking up at the night sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
This spot was a must-pass for students leaving school.
Here, he didn’t have to worry about Hu Yuying not seeing him.
At the same time, some classmates who had heard the rumors or seen him passing by couldn’t help but glance at Ye Liangchen.
Ye Liangchen remained unfazed by their gazes, allowing them to look at him.
Having been reborn, Ye Liangchen’s mindset was naturally different from that of his peers.
Confident, carefree, and cool—this meant vibrancy, personality, and boldness for the dull senior students.
So, Ye Liangchen wouldn’t adjust his posture just because they were looking at him.
Because leaning against the railing, gazing at the moon, was undeniably stylish.

Hu Yuying followed Long Aotian to the stairway.
Due to Long Aotian's tall stature and Hu Yuying's focus on following him, she didn’t notice Ye Liangchen striking a pose at the stairway.
But while Hu Yuying didn’t see him, Ye Liangchen saw her.
Watching her beside Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen wanted to call out to Hu Yuying, but looking at Long Aotian's strong back, he opened his mouth but couldn’t find his voice.
He reassured himself that he wasn’t afraid of confronting Long Aotian; it was just that the timing wasn’t right.
Once he had redeemed the treasure girl, once he became the only light in her heart!
That would be the moment to confront Long Aotian.
So, he turned his head away, unwilling to watch Long Aotian take Hu Yuying away.
After Long Aotian and Hu Yuying disappeared from the stairway, Ye Liangchen clenched his fists and slammed them against the railing, venting his frustration!
"Ye Liangchen, what’s wrong with you?" Li Qingxue, just finishing packing her things, stepped out and saw this scene.
