Chapter 55

Ye Liangchen was getting more and more into it, unable to control himself as his fear and hatred for Long Aotian spilled over from his past life into this one.

As long as he was talking bad about Long Aotian, he could go on for an entire day without repeating a single curse.

Yet, he completely failed to notice the anger brewing in Hu Yuying's eyes.

She pushed Ye Liangchen hard. "Don’t you dare talk about him."

Even though her body trembled slightly and her eyes glistened with unshed tears, she stood her ground.

She merely pursed her lips and glared at Ye Liangchen, forbidding him from speaking ill of Long Ge (Brother Long).

It was strange; Hu Yuying was the type who would swallow her anger even when bullied.

Earlier, when Ye Liangchen had persistently bothered her, she had only said she didn’t want him following her around. The most threatening thing she had said was that she might report him to Long Ge.

But now, just hearing Ye Liangchen speak ill of Long Aotian made her lose control and push him.

Watching Ye Liangchen stumble back two steps, Hu Yuying trembled even more. She stared blankly at her hands, but she felt no regret.

Ye Liangchen could talk about himself, but he couldn’t talk about Long Aotian.

If given a chance to do it all over again, she would still push Ye Liangchen!

Ye Liangchen was equally stunned, unable to believe that Hu Yuying had actually pushed him.

"You pushed me? Do you even know who you just pushed? You just pushed your savior from your dark life."

Hu Yuying felt a bit scared; it was her first time pushing someone, and her hands and feet felt a little numb. Still, she said firmly, "Don’t talk about Long Ge, or I’ll push you again!"

At her words, Ye Liangchen staggered. "You pushed me for Long Aotian? Hu Yuying, open your eyes and look! What’s so great about Long Aotian? He only bullies you and forces you, while I’ve always been protecting you."

"Even if I haven’t protected you openly, my heart has always been there for you. Don’t you understand my good intentions?"

"I don’t understand, but I know Long Ge treats me well." Hu Yuying was like a little kitten with thorns.

She was clearly scared to the point of tears, yet she held them back, hiding her trembling hands in her sleeves, stubbornly saying, "Long Ge is the best person I’ve ever met. I won’t let you talk about him."

"Ugh..." Ye Liangchen clutched his chest, staggering back two more steps, looking at Hu Yuying with a mix of sadness and pity. "How can you say that? Do you know how much it hurts my heart when you say that?"

"Long Aotian treats you well only because he desires your body. Don’t you get it?"

"He has ulterior motives for being nice to you; he just wants to enjoy your body. But I’m different; I just want to treat you well... ugh..."

Before he could finish, Hu Yuying pushed him again. Taking advantage of his stumble, she dashed toward her home.

Her phone was at home, under the pillow on her bed. If he dared to bother her again, she would follow Long Ge’s advice—call the police!

Long Ge treated her well because she was his little follower, not because he was infatuated with her body. That was just nonsense.

This time, Ye Liangchen didn’t chase after her; he just stood there, staring blankly at Hu Yuying’s retreating figure.

After a moment, once Hu Yuying had disappeared from view, Ye Liangchen seemed to snap back to reality.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with ruthless hatred.

He didn’t hate his precious girl.

The true culprit behind all this wasn’t the simply adorable precious girl, but that beast, Long Aotian!

If it weren’t for that beast feeling threatened by him and forcing his precious girl into such a situation, how could she possibly treat him this way?

"I didn’t expect you to target me in my past life, and now you’re still targeting me in this one!"

"Hahaha, I’m laughing, I really am!"

"I will expose your true nature in front of my precious girl. I’ll make her see what kind of beast you really are!"

Not hating the precious girl didn’t mean he wasn’t angry.

Long Aotian had forcibly taken his precious girl; he deserved to die, he truly did.

Once the precious girl saw Long Aotian’s true colors and realized her mistake, he would still save her.

But the love he gave her would only be a small part of what he had to offer.

He might even strip her of the title of "precious girl."

"Don’t blame me; although this situation was caused by me, you didn’t believe me, and even pushed me for Long Aotian. You should be punished a little."

"I can’t help it; I’m just Ye Liangchen, someone who loves fiercely and hates fiercely!"

With that thought, Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, regretting that one misstep had led to another.

He had only wanted to get close to his precious girl, but it had backfired.

Perhaps this was the butterfly effect brought on by his rebirth!

But he was determined not to make such a mistake again.

Slowly exhaling a breath of frustration, he took out his phone and snapped a picture of his shadow.

[Actually, I don’t regret meeting you; I just suddenly feel a bit of regret. After being together for so long, there’s no proper conclusion, and I only occasionally feel heartache—like a knight about to retreat.]

After editing, he posted it to his Penguin Space...

[Oh! Damn it, old pals, let me see who hasn’t lit up five stars yet. Hurry up with the updates; my sharp-toed shoes are itching for action. Oh, and don’t forget to add me to your bookshelf!]

Chapter 66: Open the Door, It’s Your Brother Long Aotian

After sending that message, Ye Liangchen put his phone away and stared blankly in the direction Hu Yuying had left, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

"This is more interesting. In this rebirth, I have too many advantages. This adds a ripple to my monotonous life, giving me a fresh sense of excitement!"

Ye Liangchen had his own confidence; at least he believed that Long Aotian, with his obsessive and twisted nature, had nothing on him except being taller, stronger, and slightly better looking.

What else could he possibly surpass him in?

Nothing; he couldn’t outdo him in anything.

Can good looks fill your stomach?

Just think, a few years from now, while Long Aotian is still hanging around bars, acting as a thug or a lackey, he would be driving a luxury car and wearing a designer watch. When he shows up in front of Long Aotian, wouldn’t the difference be immediately apparent?

That was Ye Liangchen’s unique confidence.

But the pain still stung; it really hurt.

His precious girl, the one he had cherished for two lifetimes, was being... violated by that beast, Long Aotian...

How could his heart not ache?

"It’s okay; I’ll make you see Long Aotian’s evil nature. I’ll make you understand that he only desires your body, while I genuinely like you from the heart."

"I’ll make you realize that only I, Ye Liangchen, am your true salvation. Everything about you should belong to me..."

Ye Liangchen was certain that Long Aotian would lead Hu Yuying into the depths of base desires, ultimately affecting her future.

No one understood how bright Hu Yuying’s future could be better than he did.

"Damn it, today was supposed to be the beginning of our fate. Why is it like this? Why?"

Even though Ye Liangchen was trying to comfort himself, the thought that he had waited so long just to meet, know, and understand his precious girl still pierced his heart.

It hurt too much.

All his hopes had crumbled in that moment, leaving him feeling a bit discontented.

Taking a deep breath, the light in his eyes gradually grew more resolute. "Yuying, I’ll make you realize your choice was wrong. I’ll show you just how tragic it is to be close to Long Aotian."

"I’ll let you witness how Long Aotian falls into a hell from which he cannot escape!"

"When you see Long Aotian’s true nature, will you regret treating me this way?"

With that, Ye Liangchen turned and left without looking back.

He, Ye Liangchen, had his own pride.

He could see the end of Long Aotian’s life in a glance.

"In my past life, you died in my scheme, and in this life, you still can’t escape my grasp. Just wait; with the advantage of my rebirth, I’ll humiliate you thoroughly!"

After taking a shower, Long Aotian heard the notification sound from his phone.

While drying his hair, he picked up his phone.

Looking at the incoming message, Long Aotian paused for a moment, then walked into his room with the phone in hand.
