Chapter 84
“Are you really waiting for Long Aotian?” Ye Liangchen couldn’t accept it. “Do you even know what kind of person he is? Do you know how disgusting he is? Did you know he forced people to go to a hotel with him at such a young age?”
“What kind of trash like him has the right for you to wait?”
“Stop talking nonsense.” Li Qingxue felt that Long Aotian wasn’t as bad as he described. The last time she analyzed whether he was dating Hu Yuying, he blushed. Could someone like that really force Hu Yuying?
And what about Hu Yuying, sitting on her bicycle, her face lit up with genuine joy? Could she have been forced by Long Aotian?
“Am I talking nonsense? I saw Long Aotian force Hu Yuying right at her house!”
“Long Aotian has already succeeded with Hu Yuying; they’re together now. Do you know what you’re doing? You’re being a mistress!”
Ye Liangchen was completely caught up in the heat of the moment, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized what he had said.
Seeing Li Qingxue’s sad expression, he hurriedly explained, “I—I didn’t mean it like that. I just don’t want to see you being deceived by Long Aotian. A man’s words can be deceiving; I’m a man, I know how men are…”
Before he could finish, Li Qingxue cut him off, “I hate you!”
Watching her walk away, Ye Liangchen muttered to himself, “It’s okay; you can’t see your true feelings yet. At least you now know what kind of person Long Aotian is.”
“When you finally wake up, you’ll realize that I’m the one who truly cares for you. I still hold onto the title of your ‘white moonlight’…”

**Chapter 101: From This Moment On, Our Differences Will Only Grow**
As Li Qingxue’s breathing grew heavier, she finally came to a stop.
Clearly, Ye Liangchen’s words had struck a nerve.
Li Qingxue thought of Long Aotian as a friend with whom she could share secrets and confide in. She never intended to disrupt his relationship with Hu Yuying.
But now, she was being accused of being a mistress by Ye Liangchen.
Li Qingxue felt quite uncomfortable; this discomfort stemmed not just from being insulted, but more so from Ye Liangchen claiming he had seen Long Aotian force Hu Yuying at her home!
She knew it was very likely that Ye Liangchen was just talking nonsense, yet a lingering heaviness settled in her heart.
This feeling of heaviness inexplicably made her a bit irritable.
“It must be the heat,” Li Qingxue thought, glancing up at the sky, feeling the bright, scorching sun. She squinted slightly, “The heat is making me a bit irritable; that must be it!”
This seemingly unreasonable yet perfect explanation slowly calmed her down.
The naivety of youth, the dullness of emotions, and the desperate search for excuses all transformed into a seed, buried deep within her heart.

On the other side, after losing sight of Li Qingxue, Ye Liangchen walked home, feeling dejected.
As soon as he returned home, he saw his mother chatting with the neighbors.
Getting closer, he heard his mother’s words, and his expression instantly soured.
“Of course! My son is doing great in school, easily getting into a university in Kyoto.”
“Isn’t that right? Just look at my son, a tall guy at 1.75 meters, handsome, with a great personality. He’s really popular with the girls at school.”
“Not to mention he’s a college student now; I can’t even imagine his bright future!”
Hearing his mother praise him, Ye Liangchen let out a slow breath and braced himself to walk over.
“Son’s back! Come tell these aunties how the college entrance exam went this year.”
Feeling a bit shy, Ye Liangchen replied, “The exam was okay this year.”
“Listen to that! My son is being modest. If he says it was okay, then it’s definitely no problem, hahaha…”
Ye Liangchen quickly pulled his mother away, “Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? Even though I’m great, can you please tone it down a bit?”
“Isn’t it natural for a proud mom to show off her amazing son?”
“Fine, I’ll let you have your fun,” Ye Liangchen said helplessly.
But then he thought about it; his mom wasn’t wrong. After all, he was a reborn person destined to become someone great. Being a bit high-profile wasn’t such a bad thing.
“Now that the college entrance exam is finally over, let’s take a few days to relax at home.”
Suddenly, his mother remembered something, “Oh, by the way, I’ll take you to buy a couple of clothes this afternoon.”
“I just saw the kid from Aunt Wang’s house wearing a nice ice silk short-sleeve shirt. It looked not only good but felt cool and smooth. You’d look even better in it than her son.”
That was just how his mother was—always wanting to compare, especially when she felt inferior. She would use whatever advantages she had left to find a sense of worth in front of others.
And right now, the only thing she could show off was her precious son.
At least in terms of her son, she was doing pretty well.
And it was also crucial that her son was doing great.
“Alright,” Ye Liangchen agreed, mainly because he was feeling down and thought a little outing would help lift his spirits.
As for comparing with Aunt Wang’s 14-year-old kid, he’d rather not. He didn’t want to leave the kid with any lasting psychological scars; after all, he was a high-quality, trendsetting male god.
After dinner, Ye’s mother rode her electric bike, taking Ye Liangchen out to buy clothes.
“Mom, isn’t this the direction to the morning market?”
“I heard from Aunt Wang that the clothing vendor is at the morning market.”
“Look, it’s right across the street up ahead.”
As Ye’s mother spoke, Ye Liangchen spotted the stalls set up under the square sunshades.
“Stop the bike!!!” Ye Liangchen’s voice was filled with excitement.
Ye’s mother stopped and turned to look at her precious son, following his gaze to see Long Aotian and Hu Yuying.
Her expression immediately soured, “Sharp-tongued and destined to be a failure, selling goods on the street.”
She clearly remembered how Long Aotian had insulted her at school.
She had always been the one to insult others; it was the first time she had been put down by an eighteen-year-old kid!
Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smile as he slowly got off the bike, hands in his pockets, mockingly observing the scene before him.
“Ha, Hu Yuying, you have no idea what you’ve lost!”
In his dreams, Hu Yuying was a goddess of finance and business, her worth beyond question.
But now, it was clear she had been dragged down by that scoundrel Long Aotian.
If he didn’t save her, she might end up stuck in some lowly job for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Mom, let’s go back.”
“Back?”
“Yeah, let’s go back. I have my plans. Long Aotian dared to insult you in front of me; I won’t let him get away with it. He’ll learn the consequences of crossing me!”
Seeing her son so spirited, Ye’s mother felt a surge of pride. Truly, he was her precious boy.
Since her son had said so, she had no choice but to take him back.
Once home, Ye Liangchen thought for a moment and said, “Mom, can you give me some money?”
Ye’s mother, doting on her son, naturally wouldn’t refuse.
After receiving the money, Ye Liangchen returned to his room, pulling out a white shirt and black skinny pants from the wardrobe.
Once dressed, he straightened his back, looking at the mature and handsome reflection in the mirror. He styled his hair like an adult and couldn’t help but chuckle, “From this moment on, the distance between us will only grow!”
With that, he turned and left the house.

On her way back after buying food, Hu Yuying spotted Long Aotian chatting with three beautiful women in their twenties, making them laugh.
Even after the three women walked away, Long Aotian leaned out to sneak a glance at their long legs.
Watching his actions, Hu Yuying pursed her lips.
She looked at the three women, their upper bodies clad in sexy crop tops, exposing their midriffs, while their long legs were bare in shorts...
Unconsciously, she compared herself, dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and long pants, and lowered her gaze in silence...
“Tired? You look a bit down. Let’s head home and rest,” Long Aotian said, noticing Hu Yuying returning with the food, looking a bit worn out.
Hu Yuying shot him a resentful glance before turning her back to him...

“No one supports my aspirations; I will tread the snow to the summit!”
The voice came before the person appeared.
