Chapter 134
Perhaps at first, Xue Shaohua simply thought that Hu Yuying was beautiful and wanted to pursue such a girl as a casual girlfriend.
However, today’s scene had already planted an obsession in Xue Shaohua’s heart for Hu Yuying.
They were in the same campus, the same class, the same major; the fact that they could gather together among thousands of people was enough to signify their fateful connection.
This series of coincidences only strengthened Xue Shaohua’s determination to win over Hu Yuying. He wanted her smile to be reserved solely for him from now on.
“Shaohua, are you okay?”
Hearing someone call his name, Xue Shaohua took a deep breath and smiled, “I’m fine.”
Upon hearing this, the other two chimed in, “By the way, we helped you out today. How did it go in the end?”
Xue Shaohua’s lips twitched, but he forced a smile and replied, “It’s all good. Just give me some time, and I’ll definitely win over Hu Yuying.”
He had gotten into A University, while that other guy hadn’t; that alone proved he was better.
Besides, he would be spending the next four years with Hu Yuying—four years was enough time to change things.
Xue Shaohua had this confidence, and it stemmed from his own excellence.
The others didn’t say much in response to Xue Shaohua’s words.
Throughout history, beautiful girls have never lacked suitors.
They didn’t believe Xue Shaohua could succeed; in fact, they hoped that through him, Hu Yuying would notice them instead. Who knows...
“Let’s go out and buy some drinks. I’ll treat you guys,” Xue Shaohua said, feeling utterly dejected.
Although there were shops on campus, they didn’t sell alcohol, so they had to bring it from outside.
When someone offers to treat, no one would refuse, especially after just finishing military training; they all wanted to let loose a bit.
After some discussion, they headed toward the school gate.
Opening a can of beer, Xue Shaohua tilted his head back and drank.
Standing at the entrance of the bustling shop, he felt that this action of drinking with such flair made him look cool and carefree.
After downing more than half the can in one go, he suppressed a burp and solemnly declared, “Believe it or not, I’m definitely going after Hu Yuying!”
As soon as he said this, a passerby paused for a moment.
Then, they turned to look at Xue Shaohua.
Xue Shaohua sensed it too, so he looked up and saw a man with his hands in his pockets, scrutinizing him with a piercing gaze.
When their eyes met, the guy’s lips curled into a confident smile, and he flicked his hair back.
Xue Shaohua’s pupils constricted, and he straightened his posture, slightly tilting his head. It was well-known that a side profile, regardless of gender, was the most attractive angle.
Seeing Xue Shaohua’s pose, the guy frowned slightly, then lowered his gaze at a forty-five-degree angle before slowly raising his eyes again.
In this brief standoff, Xue Shaohua furrowed his brows, realizing that this person was not ordinary; he felt a sudden seriousness wash over him.
Noticing the gravity in Xue Shaohua’s eyes, the guy chuckled and walked slowly toward him, hands still in his pockets. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Liang Chen, Ye Liangchen!”
Seeing the hand extended toward him, Xue Shaohua’s brows relaxed a bit as he raised his hand and replied, “Xue Shaohua.”
Ye Liangchen’s smile widened. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one up, took a deep drag, and closed his eyes in bliss before slowly exhaling the smoke. “Do you smoke?”
Xue Shaohua nodded. He didn’t usually smoke, but seeing how effortlessly cool Ye Liangchen looked while smoking, he decided to give it a try.
“I heard you say you’re going after Hu Yuying?”
Xue Shaohua glanced at Ye Liangchen. “What’s it to you?”
Ye Liangchen scoffed but didn’t say anything further.
Ever since he learned that Long Aotian had also come to Kyoto, Ye Liangchen figured Hu Yuying must have arrived too. Today, right after finishing military training, he treated his dorm mates to a meal with the money he made from stock trading and thought he’d take a stroll around A University.
He didn’t expect to hear someone audaciously claiming they wanted to pursue his former treasure of a girl.
He had to admit, Xue Shaohua had a bit of flair, but compared to him, he was still a bit green.
Hearing Xue Shaohua’s retort, “What’s it to you?” made Ye Liangchen suddenly smile. “What if it’s a competition between us?” As he spoke, he tilted his head with a confident grin and flicked his hair again!
Watching Xue Shaohua’s stunned expression, Ye Liangchen patted his shoulder and then casually slipped his hands back into his pockets.
This move, to be honest, was full of swagger!
“But the guy next to her isn’t you!” Xue Shaohua felt a blow to his confidence and, seeing Ye Liangchen’s self-assured demeanor, he said, a bit exasperated, “That’s just not fair!”
Ye Liangchen, who was about to leave, suddenly darkened his expression. He knew exactly who Xue Shaohua was referring to.
His hands clenched tightly; that damn scoundrel!
Not only had he taken Hu Yuying, but he also wouldn’t let go of Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning...
Turning his back to Xue Shaohua, he looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. “Who can say it won’t be me?”
Watching Ye Liangchen walk away, Xue Shaohua slowly smiled, “Things are getting interesting!”
“You’re right; who can say what will happen in the future? At least I’ll have the advantage of proximity...”

**Chapter 162: I Acknowledge You**
After Ye Liangchen left with his hands in his pockets, a smile crept onto his face. “What kind of level dares to pursue my treasure girl?”
To be fair, Ye Liangchen was submissive in front of Long Aotian, but in front of Xue Shaohua, he could leap up and strike back.
Even now, having decided to go against the odds, he dared to confront Long Aotian!
There’s no way around it; even a cornered rabbit will bite.
Since his rebirth, he had deliberately tolerated Long Aotian, but instead of gaining understanding and respect, he felt a sense of crisis from Long Aotian, which led to the latter taking his treasure girl.
That was one thing; he thought he could endure it and eventually win her back once he grew stronger.
But that damn scoundrel, not only did he take his treasure girl, but he also wanted to lay his hands on his white moonlight and childhood sweetheart. That was simply intolerable!
Since Long Aotian wanted to play, Liang Chen was more than willing to play along.
What he needed to do now was to present evidence of Long Aotian’s desire to play both sides to Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue, making them see the scummy side of him.
Then, he would have them confront Lin Wanning, revealing what a disgusting and evil person Long Aotian truly was.
That way, everything could return to square one.
At that point, he would strike hard, comforting them when they were heartbroken, making them realize that while they were deceived by Long Aotian, he had been tirelessly gathering evidence to help them.
He wanted them to know that he had never given up on them; he was their true salvation!
Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Long Aotian, you’ve pushed me to this point. Since my tolerance hasn’t earned your respect or understanding, I won’t hold back anymore. When I have you back under my heel, I hope to see that arrogant look on your face!”
With that thought, he arrived at the entrance of A University.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Liangchen slowly pulled out his phone.
Looking at Li Qingxue’s chat interface, he sighed inwardly. “Even though you said such hurtful things to me, to save you, I can only let you see Long Aotian’s true colors!”
“Once you realize what kind of person Long Aotian is, regret me, awaken to the truth, and chase after me, then I’ll have my turn to make you suffer, just like you made me feel hurt. I’ve kept track of everything you said!”
“Even though you’re my white moonlight, who told you to hurt me? I hope you can understand my good intentions; I just want you to recognize your mistakes.”
With that, he quickly began typing on his phone.
【Qingxue, it’s Liang Chen. Did you know?
You made a mistake, but I’ve decided to forgive you because no one knows how much I love you.
Even though you said those hurtful things to me, as a knight, I still choose to forgive you, breaking my own limits.
As a knight, I could choose to step back and retreat for a lifetime, but a knight has a heart too. You’re not me, so you can’t understand how much I love you.】
