Chapter 126
"Sometimes, you need to broaden your perspective and look further into the future."
One of the roommates muttered, "Who knows what the future holds..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen tilted her head, confidently flipping her hair.
"You might not be sure about the future, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be. Besides, I’m not someone who borrows money and doesn’t pay it back. What are you afraid of? We’re all in the same dorm; do you think I’m going to run away?"
"And by lending me money today, you’re doing me a favor. My future favors aren’t something that can be bought with just a hundred bucks."
"This is my confidence. I believe my future is in my own hands!"
Hearing this, the others in the dorm smirked, "Alright, we’re all in the same dorm, and we’ll be together for four more years. Just remember to pay me back next month."
One of the three roommates lent Ye Liangchen a hundred bucks.
Holding the three hundred in her hand, Ye Liangchen smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, it won’t be long before I give you all a surprise."
She gathered her fingers and then spread them wide like a blooming firework. "And it’s going to be a huge surprise. Just hope you’re not too shocked when the time comes!"
With that, she tidied her hair in front of the mirror and stepped out of the dorm.
But the moment she left, the smile on Ye Liangchen’s face vanished, replaced by an endless gloom.
"Damn Long Aotian! If it weren’t for you getting in the way of my meeting the treasure girl, how could my family have spent so much money to get me into this lousy university?"
"And you, Li Qingxue, you shameless woman who wants to play both sides, just wait! It won’t be long before you’re in a chase for your husband, and I won’t go easy on you!"
After venting her frustrations, Ye Liangchen let out a long sigh.
"If I remember correctly, today should be the moment of our second encounter!"
But looking at the money in her hand, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but chuckle at herself, "I never thought I’d fall to the point of borrowing money."
"The me in my dreams was so well protected that I only knew Yu Ying would succeed, and Qingxue would succeed, but I had no idea how they did it. Now, I can only rely on vague memories to invest in stocks."
"However, it seems that a certain cryptocurrency might be worth quite a bit in the future. Once I cash out on stocks, I’ll buy some of that."
"Of course, that’s all for later. Right now, there are more important things for me to do. Once my little childhood friend debuts with her cheerful voice, money won’t be an issue!"
Taking a deep breath to suppress the excitement bubbling within, she glanced at the time and hurried outside...
【Boss, you’re confused! You sent a certification from a big shot, and you’ve given so many gifts and support. Thank you, thank you! The New Year is coming, so let’s all celebrate together! Love you all!!!!】

Chapter 152: "Bro, Your Hands Are So Warm"
About five minutes after returning to the dorm.
Long Aotian was bare-chested, drying his hair.
"Damn, if I had Old Ao’s body, I’d never have to worry about finding a girlfriend," Xu Shuai said enviously.
Not just him; Li Longlong and Huang Fei thought the same. With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his physique was not only muscular but also perfectly proportioned. Even the boys couldn’t find a flaw.
"Sigh, it’s really infuriating how some people have it so easy. When will I ever get to take a girl out for dinner?" Li Longlong glanced at Huang Fei. "Have you finished your ten theories on love yet?"
"Almost, almost. Theories come from practice. Once I catch up with Shen Mengjie, I’ll write it all down," Huang Fei replied, feeling quite helpless.
Seeing Long Aotian do nothing all day while girls came to him one after another made him envious.
Meanwhile, he hadn’t even exchanged a few words with Shen Mengjie yet.
Long Aotian got dressed and looked at the three of them. "Actually, A Fei is right. All theories come from practice. Instead of theorizing in the dorm, you should try to interact with girls more."
"Old Ao, it’s easy for you to say that. Do you think everyone can be like you?" Xu Shuai said, a hint of jealousy in his voice. He had tried asking Wang Lijuan out, but the problem was actually getting her to agree.
Long Aotian chuckled and tossed a towel at Xu Shuai. "Come on, how long have you known Wang Lijuan? Not even half a month! Why would she agree to go out with you?"
"Even in a relationship, you need to spend time together, build some rapport, and then talk about going out for dinner."
"You’re just too eager. You barely know her and already want to take her out. It’s a miracle if she agrees."
Xu Shuai caught the towel and pouted. "You’re not any better; you haven’t known her for long either, yet you’re already going out."
"That’s not the same!" Huang Fei shot Xu Shuai a look. "If you could heroically save Wang Lijuan, you’d be able to get her to ask you out for dinner too."
He then turned to Long Aotian. "I think Old Ao is right. Instead of lying around in the dorm, it’s better to take this time to meet more girls."
"The second rule of the ten theories of love: Be persistent in making your presence known. Leave a strong impression in the goddess’s mind. You eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time, and pursuing a girl takes time!"
Three minutes later, beside Long Aotian, three figures began to dry their hair.

"Bro."
From a distance, Lin Wanning was on her tiptoes, waving. The smile on her cool, delicate face was something he could never tire of seeing.
"Sorry, I’m late."
"I just got here too. Let’s go eat; you must be hungry."
The people around them were dumbfounded, witnessing the transformation of a cold, beautiful snow lotus blooming atop a snowy mountain.
Before the boys arrived, she was aloof and stunning.
But once they showed up, she was as cheerful as a child.
"We’ve arrived; it’s right here." After getting out of the taxi, Lin Wanning looked at the address on her phone.
"This is way too far."
Lin Wanning shot Long Aotian a glance. "Bro, you’re so lazy. If you want good food, you can’t be afraid of distance."
"And today there’s a discount event!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go." Long Aotian didn’t want to spoil the mood, waving his hand as he led Lin Wanning into the mall.
"It’s on the fourth floor." As Lin Wanning spoke, she looked around.
When they reached the restaurant entrance, before Long Aotian could step inside, Lin Wanning suddenly grabbed his arm. "Bro, I want some fruit tea. Can you get me a cup?"
Long Aotian followed her finger to the direction she pointed. "Sure."
Watching Long Aotian walk away, Lin Wanning entered the restaurant.
She seemed to say something to the front desk, pointing towards the fruit tea shop.
When Long Aotian returned with the fruit tea, Lin Wanning walked over to him.
In the midst of Long Aotian’s puzzled gaze, she gently linked her arm with his.
Feeling his arm pressed against something soft, Long Aotian stiffened, instinctively wanting to pull his hand back.
As he moved, his arm brushed against the softness, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through Lin Wanning, spreading around her body.
Her heart raced, and a delicate blush crept onto her face. She shot Long Aotian a playful glare, her tone softening, "Bro, don’t move around too much, okay...?"
"Uh, okay." Long Aotian, unsure of what Lin Wanning was up to, glanced at his arm, which was slightly squished, and didn’t dare to move.
Lin Wanning led Long Aotian into the restaurant.
Suddenly, she let out a soft giggle, just loud enough for the two of them to hear. "Bro, relax a bit; you’re getting all stiff."
"How can I relax?" The fabric was thin, and Long Aotian could clearly feel the softness and the warmth radiating from it.
"Just imagine I’m your girlfriend."
"Huh?"
Lin Wanning lightly bit her lip, gently taking Long Aotian’s fingers and wrapping them around her waist.
His warm hand, the heat seeping through the thin fabric, settled on her slender waist.
Being held by a boy for the first time made Lin Wanning feel a bit uneasy. The blush spread to her neck, and she instinctively said, "Bro, your hands are so warm."
Long Aotian’s hand trembled slightly.
Feeling the tremor in his hand, Lin Wanning shifted uncomfortably. "Bro, don’t move; it tickles..."
They awkwardly walked into the restaurant, passed the front desk, and, guided by the waiter, arrived at table 18.
As the waiter left, Lin Wanning took a slight breath, her eyes shimmering. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye, highlighted by her blush, resembled a blooming poppy, captivating anyone who dared to look: "Okay, I’m ready."
