“Hero saves the beauty, and the hero is such a handsome guy. Wow, this feels even more exciting than a movie plot!”
“His physique looks great too. Isn’t he from T University next door?”
Hearing this, the usually aloof Lin Wan Ning suddenly recalled the moment she applied iodine to his wound last night...
A faint blush crept onto her fair, delicate face. Is he fit? Broad shoulders, a narrow and strong waist—well, I guess...
“Stop it, you guys. It’s not what you think.” Lin Wan Ning had never experienced anything like this before, and now, with her friends teasing her about it, she felt quite embarrassed.
After saying that, she casually glanced outside, only to find the table empty.
High school life was dull and monotonous.
College, with its myriad of experiences, was liberating.
For many high school students, the biggest transformation begins in college.
Some girls, who were plain in high school, learned to dress up and apply makeup in college.
Some boys, who loved to admire beautiful girls in high school, became even more captivated by them in college.
Lin Wan Ning might just be one among the countless others. At least now, being teased by her newly acquainted friends didn’t bother her.
After finishing their meal, Lin Wan Ning and her friends were heading back to the campus.
On their way back, they chatted and laughed.
Suddenly, one of the girls pointed toward the school gate and exclaimed, “Look! There’s someone with flowers at the gate. Is he about to confess?”
Everyone turned to look.
They saw a slender boy standing at the school gate, holding a bouquet of flowers. He suddenly spread his arms wide, mimicking a gesture of embracing someone.
“Is he practicing his confession? Let’s go check it out!”
This little suggestion was unanimously approved.
The four of them arrived at the school gate, where a crowd had already gathered.
“Excuse me, is that guy confessing?” they whispered among themselves.
“I don’t know. I just got here and thought it was interesting, so I stayed to watch.”
Hearing the murmurs about him, the boy turned his head slightly.
That glance made him pause for a moment, and then a radiant smile broke out on his face.
With one hand in his pocket, he slowly walked toward them.
“Hey, Wan Ning! Long time no see.” He smiled brightly again, “This is for you.”
Lin Wan Ning looked at the flowers in front of her, her brow furrowing slightly. Her cool, delicate face revealed no emotion. She hadn’t expected that while hanging out with her dorm friends, she would end up being the center of attention.
“Do we know each other?” His unique voice made him chuckle lightly as he tossed his hair back. “Looks like it’s been so long since we last met that you’ve forgotten me!”
“Then let me reintroduce myself. I’m Liang Chen, Ye Liang Chen.” Ye Liang Chen smiled confidently, his voice deep with a slight huskiness.
Lin Wan Ning frowned, seemingly searching her memory for this person, but eventually shook her head gently. “Sorry, I don’t remember you.”
As she spoke, she turned to leave. She really didn’t like being the center of attention.
Hearing this, Ye Liang Chen chuckled, “Still as cold as ever.”
Taking a deep breath, he slowly crouched down and said, “It’s okay. I’ll help you remember me.”
With that, he reached out to lift the hem of Lin Wan Ning’s pant leg.
“What are you doing?” Lin Wan Ning stepped back just before his hand touched her, creating distance between them.
She looked at Ye Liang Chen, who was crouched on the ground, with a more frosty gaze.
Ye Liang Chen shook his head slowly, a hint of helplessness in his tone. “Don’t move. You’re hurt. Let me take a look. You were always so clumsy as a kid, and it seems you haven’t changed.”
His words revealed a familiarity with Lin Wan Ning.
“Are you crazy?” Lin Wan Ning bypassed Ye Liang Chen and walked toward the school.
What is going on here?
A stranger acting overly familiar is one thing, but wanting to lift her pant leg? That’s just creepy!
Back in high school, her roommate had secretly shown her some things.
When she saw the images of... an obsession with girls’ beautiful legs, she felt shocked and appalled.
Although many male classmates had commented on her legs, saying they were beautiful, they only said it behind her back.
But she never expected something like this to happen to her, especially in front of so many people. How disgusting...
She felt goosebumps rising on her skin.
Watching Lin Wan Ning walk away, Ye Liang Chen smiled confidently, unfazed. “The little girl is shy. When you remember me, will you regret calling me crazy?”
That night, when Lin Wan Ning didn’t show up, Ye Liang Chen thought about it and figured it was probably because he hadn’t been hit by Long Ao Tian.
But there was nothing he could do; Long Ao Tian had gotten Hu Yu Ying, and they were probably still somewhere in Haiwan City, setting up shop. There was no way they could come to Kyoto to help him.
But he was a reborn person, and if he didn’t have a chance, he would create one.
Today’s outcome seemed quite good; at least he had left a deep impression on Lin Wan Ning.
First, he would leave her with an impression of being a carefree playboy, and then gradually change that perception, because girls love a contrast.
When they think you’re one way, as long as you can show a different side, they can’t help but be drawn to you.
At that point, he would reveal that he was actually her deskmate from kindergarten, and everything would align with her dreams.
In her dreams, it was just a pack of tissues that left an impression on Wan Ning.
By chance, she saw him appear with Hu Yu Ying.
And because Li Qing Xue was pursuing him, it made her think he was a scumbag playing both sides.
After a series of misunderstandings and entanglements, the truth would eventually come to light, and in the process, she would realize she had unknowingly fallen for him...
Thinking of this, Ye Liang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then turned to look at the sky, murmuring in a low voice, “I really can’t wait for that day to come.”

Chapter 138: The Little Girl is Feeling Wronged
“I added her! I really added her!” Xu Shuai exclaimed excitedly, holding up his phone.
“Remember that girl I touched fingers with when we went to get our military training uniforms today? I added her on QQ!”
“Damn, you’re quick!” Li Long Long glanced over, but Xu Shuai clutched his phone like it was a rare treasure.
“Get lost! If you want to flirt, do it yourself.”
“Such a stingy attitude. Fine, I’ll add her myself.” Li Long Long pouted, then took out his phone and entered the class group they had just created today.
Everyone in the group had changed their nicknames. He looked at Han Xiao Jing’s profile picture, clicked to view it, then quickly closed it, feeling guilty as if he had something to hide.
If it were someone without a guilty conscience, adding someone would be no big deal.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Huang Fei suddenly sat up from his bed, looking at his phone seriously. “I added her too! Hahaha...”
Seeing Long Ao Tian being added by the cool school flower, and now even Huang Fei and Xu Shuai having targets, Li Long Long gritted his teeth and clicked to add a friend.
Before long, his friend request was accepted.
Li Long Long held up his phone, excitedly showing off. “See? I added her too! Who cares? Hmph...”
The dorm fell into a rare moment of silence.
The three of them huddled on their beds, twisting and wriggling with their phones, occasionally bursting into strange giggles.
“Are you guys some kind of giggling freaks?” Long Ao Tian looked at the three of them, finding it utterly hilarious.
Xu Shuai and Li Long Long were one thing; they had already admitted that their earlier bravado was just for show.
But how did even Huang Fei, who had created the ten core theories of love, turn into a giggling freak too?
Didn’t he enjoy the perks of being single?
