**Chapter 160: Brother Long Isn’t Just Playing with His Little Feet**
At this moment, I was still gazing at myself...
Back in the dormitory, I sat quietly in the glass corridor between Building 6 and Building 12, waiting.
Soon, I spotted Li Qingxue.
“Qingxue.”
“Is Yu Ying okay?”
“This is for you.” Hu Yu Ying pulled out a delicious little cake.
Seeing the cake in Hu Yu Ying's hand, Li Qingxue felt a mix of surprise and warmth.
“Thank you,” she said softly. She didn’t really need the cake, but it was the thought that Hu Yu Ying had bought it for her.
“No need to thank me.” Hu Yu Ying pulled Li Qingxue to sit on a bench in the corridor. “Remember when we were at the bay, you made cookies for me?”
“I was planning to cook something delicious for you when I got to Kyoto, but renting here is so expensive and everything is inconvenient. This little cake is tasty, and I promise I’ll make you something good next time.”
Hu Yu Ying truly cherished her friendship with Li Qingxue.
Before meeting Brother Long, she had no friends.
After meeting Brother Long, she gained her first big brother and, through their interactions, found a good friend in Li Qingxue.
The feelings before having friends and after are entirely different.
That’s why she treasured this friendship.
“Mm-hmm~~ Hug!” Li Qingxue pouted her nose playfully, wanting a hug from Hu Yu Ying.
Being embraced by Qingxue made Hu Yu Ying really happy. This joy was different from the happiness she felt when she saw Brother Long. “Let’s try the little cake.”
Li Qingxue had many friends, but Hu Yu Ying was one of a kind.
“Alright, let’s share the cake.” Li Qingxue chuckled softly, her smile always infectious...
In the corridor, the two sat together, eating the little cake while gazing at the night sky through the glass.
...
Back in the dormitory.
Hu Yu Ying kicked off her shoes and stared at her little feet, grinning like a fool.
“Yu Ying, what’s got you so happy?” one of her roommates asked softly, noticing her expression.
“Do we even need to ask?” another roommate chimed in, laughing.
“Yu Ying, are you and Xue Shaohua, hmm?” Unable to contain their curiosity, the three roommates exchanged glances and asked with playful smiles.
Hearing her name alongside Xue Shaohua’s, Hu Yu Ying frowned slightly, confused. “What?”
Seeing her reaction, the three roommates stifled their laughter. “Stop pretending! Xue Shaohua asked us for your contact info today. You two have been chatting, haven’t you?”
At this, Hu Yu Ying’s brows furrowed even deeper, and she firmly shook her head. “No.”
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and opened the messaging app, where indeed, there was a new friend request.
Ignoring it, she turned to her roommates. “My happiness has nothing to do with Xue Shaohua. Please don’t spread rumors. I already have someone in my heart.”
The moment those words left her lips, her roommates were momentarily stunned, but they quickly realized and apologized softly.
Before this, they had no idea that Hu Yu Ying already had someone special in her heart. They just thought someone was interested in her and, as friends, they didn’t mind playing matchmaker.
This was awkward; Hu Yu Ying already had someone in mind, yet they had carelessly given her contact information to someone who clearly had feelings for her...
Hu Yu Ying shook her head gently. “It’s fine; you didn’t know. Just don’t do that again in the future.”
She wasn’t too bothered because her roommates were unaware. If they had known, she believed they wouldn’t have shared her contact info so casually.
During their time together, they had gotten along well, though not quite to the level of her friendship with Li Qingxue.
That bond had formed early on in Haigang City, where their friendship had solidified.
But...
Once Hu Yu Ying mentioned that she had someone in her heart, her roommates’ attention shifted.
Gossip is a girl’s nature.
“Yu Ying, this person in your heart isn’t from our school, right? But since you looked so happy after going out today, he must be in this city, right?”
“Did you meet up with him today?”
“You were grinning like a fool earlier; it seems like you had a great time, huh?”
Hearing this, Hu Yu Ying’s cheeks flushed. Was she happy?
Today was undoubtedly the happiest day since she arrived in this city.
Brother Long had touched her little feet and even carried her!
His hands were so warm. Remembering how he held her little feet sent shivers down her spine, like electricity coursing through her body, making her feel weak.
Brother Long’s back was so strong. Lying on his back brought her a deep sense of joy and an indescribable feeling of safety. She had even wrapped her arms around him, her heart racing—she wondered if he felt it too.
She had even secretly linked her pinky with his, and he hadn’t noticed...
Lost in these thoughts, Hu Yu Ying didn’t realize how expressive her face had become, how charmingly alluring she looked.
Her rounded toes curled unconsciously.
A girl’s shyness, whether in front of men or women, is always captivating, enchanting those around her.
The three roommates exchanged glances, all thinking that this version of Hu Yu Ying was truly beautiful.
They also noticed her stealing glances at her little feet, grinning to herself, and a not-so-subtle thought crossed their minds.
“Could it be that Yu Ying is into foot play?”
“Oh my~~ that’s so weird, but I kind of like it…”
“You guys are too much! I didn’t expect this…”
Faced with her roommates’ teasing, Hu Yu Ying quickly waved her hands, explaining, “No, it’s not what you think!”
Brother Long is a serious guy; he only checked to see if my little feet were okay after I twisted my ankle... He was just being thorough, that’s all...
But as she tried to justify it, she found herself giving up, realizing that Brother Long might indeed be a bit... unconventional...
Shaking her head vigorously, Hu Yu Ying hurried back to her bed, pulling the summer blanket over herself. “It’s definitely not what you think.”
A gap in the blanket revealed her bright, blushing face. In her heart, Brother Long was the serious guy she believed him to be, and there was no room for debate...
**[Thank you to all the brothers, sisters, and friends for your gifts and support. I’m really touched. Love you all!]**

**Chapter 161: What If You Compare with Me?**
In the boys’ dormitory.
Xue Shaohua stared at the friend request on his phone that had yet to be accepted, his expression darkening.
Even his roommates, who were in the same dorm, didn’t know what to say. The key was that they had no idea what was going on.
No one knew, but Xue Shaohua did.
He had never encountered a girl so unforgettable. The moment she smiled, it was a beauty that words couldn’t describe.
He couldn’t put that beauty into words, but that smile was deeply etched in his heart.
If Hu Yu Ying would smile at him like that, he thought he would never like another girl again in his life.
But her smile wasn’t for him; it was for another man.
This was something Xue Shaohua couldn’t accept, and it stirred a deep jealousy within him.
Especially when he saw Hu Yu Ying running towards that man without a second thought.
In that instant, Xue Shaohua felt a profound sense of injustice.
If it weren’t for his strong character, he would have doubted he could hold back tears!
At the same time, his jealousy boiled over.
Why was he still by her side while she didn’t even glance at him, rushing towards another man?
Unbeknownst to him, a sense of possessiveness towards Hu Yu Ying began to rise.
There was no doubt that getting into A University was proof of Xue Shaohua’s excellence. Such a person naturally harbored a sense of pride.
He believed he wasn’t any less handsome than that man, and in some ways, he might even be slightly better.
So why, despite being so outstanding, did Hu Yu Ying still choose to leave him behind?
A beauty like Hu Yu Ying should be with someone like him.
