Chapter 139
Hu Yuying glanced at Long Aotian, then at Li Qingxue, knowing well that Long Ge had his good and bad sides. She wanted to tease Qingxue, but she would still follow Long Ge’s lead—she was determined to stick with him.
“Wan Ning, you...”
“Ge.” Lin Wanning had no qualms about calling Long Aotian “brother,” and in fact, she enjoyed it.
After calling him that, the three of them turned to Li Qingxue with beaming smiles.
Seeing both Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning call him that, Li Qingxue extended her hand toward them, saying, “Oh, you two! Just like that, our friendship boat capsized!”
After some playful banter, they finally settled down when the dishes they ordered arrived at the table. Li Qingxue turned her rosy face toward Long Aotian, her lips slightly parted, a mix of delight and reluctance in her expression. “Ge, is this good enough?”
Long Aotian shook his head. “Not sincere enough.”
Li Qingxue rolled her eyes. “Brother, brother, brother, brother...”
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after we’re full.” Long Aotian was in a good mood today.
After the meal, Long Aotian taught them how to operate a mobile phone to set up an online store.
It was quite simple: register with a phone number and follow the verification process.
“Next comes the deposit, but you don’t need to pay it right away. You can wait until you get started.”
“There are many types of online stores. First, think about what you want to sell, then come up with a name for your shop. It’s best if the name relates to the product category so customers can instantly know what you’re selling.”
The three of them listened to Long Aotian’s words with curiosity.
While Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning might have found it interesting and approached it with a playful mindset, Hu Yuying knew exactly what she wanted to do.
Knowing her direction gave her a sense of confidence.
She wasn’t rushing into things; after all, nothing worthwhile is achieved overnight.
At this stage, seeing the confidence shining in Hu Yuying’s eyes, Long Aotian took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go check out the mall.”
“Okay!” Hu Yuying nodded obediently, her eyes now filled with determination.
Long Aotian smiled at her. When he read the original novel, it didn’t specify how Hu Yuying achieved her success.
The author had glossed over it, but it was easy to imagine the struggles and efforts Hu Yuying must have faced.
He just hoped that this small change wouldn’t negatively affect her or Li Qingxue.
The operation of the online store was in their hands, and how they did it would be something they would gradually learn.
After a whole day of fun, Long Aotian felt sore all over, thinking it was even more exhausting than a day of military training.
But looking at the three lively girls, he decided to sit on a nearby bench and wait.
During this time, Long Aotian opened his phone and entered a group chat.
This chat group was set up by an agency.
Various rental listings and second-hand housing information were posted daily in this group.
Before long, Hu Yuying sat down beside Long Aotian.
“Why aren’t you out playing?” Long Aotian didn’t look up, but he could tell it was Hu Yuying by the scent.
“They’re trying on clothes.” Hu Yuying crossed her legs on the bench, gently swinging them.
She was in a good mood today, and when she was happy, she tended to do things she normally wouldn’t.
“What’s Long Ge looking at?”
“Looking at houses. Am I cool or what?”
“Super cool.”
Long Aotian chuckled and gently ruffled Hu Yuying’s long hair. No matter what he said, she always cheered him on.
As they left, the sky was already darkening.
After dropping a few of them back at school, Hu Yuying pulled Long Aotian aside. “Long Ge, wait here a moment. I’ll run back to my dorm to get something for you.”
“Sure.” It just so happened that Long Aotian hadn’t been to A University yet, so he followed her in.
Hu Yuying jogged toward the dorm.
As she pushed open the dorm door, she was greeted by a voice.
“Yuying, what’s up? Why are you out of breath?”
Hu Yuying shook her head. “Nothing.”
Then she picked up her foot bath basin and headed out.
Walking around A University, it was hard not to notice the stark differences between schools.
With lotus ponds, drooping willows, and ancient architecture, the campus atmosphere was truly that of a prestigious institution.
Before long, Hu Yuying returned. “Long Ge, here you go.”
“What’s this?” Long Aotian took it and pulled out several photos—pictures taken by the bay, photos from Hu Yuying’s military training, and some of his own.
As Long Aotian’s gaze lingered on the photo from her military training, Hu Yuying felt a bit shy. “This is one I developed at school. I wanted to give you a copy.”
“Really nice! I like it a lot.” Long Aotian tucked it away in his pocket.
Hearing Long Ge say he liked it, Hu Yuying relaxed her grip on the hem of her clothes.
“Your school is beautiful,” Long Aotian remarked as they walked around the lotus pond.
“Yeah.” Hu Yuying looked at Long Aotian’s back, and suddenly stumbled.
Her forehead bumped against Long Aotian’s back with a dull thud. Wow, he’s so solid—ouch...
Long Aotian turned to catch her. “You okay? Why are you always so clumsy?”
“Did you bump into me? Let me see.”
Fortunately, her long hair covered her flushed ears. Hu Yuying awkwardly said, “I’m fine. Maybe I just walked too much today.”
Hearing this, Long Aotian pulled Hu Yuying to sit on the steps and patted his knee. “Put your feet up.”
“That’s not good, Long Ge.”
“Hurry up.”
“Okay.”
Hu Yuying bit her lip, lowering her gaze to hide her expression, and placed her legs on Long Aotian’s knee.
Feeling her shoes being removed made her body tense up a bit, and when her socks were taken off, she felt even stiffer. But as soon as her little foot was held in Long Aotian’s warm hand, she immediately relaxed.
“Rest well in the dorm tomorrow. Have your roommate bring you some food.”
“Okay.”
Stealing a glance at Long Aotian, who was focused on her foot, she thought to herself: Sorry, Long Ge. It’s not that Yuying can’t be honest; girls are just the best at deceiving...
Though she had promised to compete fairly, she knew Long Ge liked playing with her feet, so this was the only way. She just hoped he would remember her in his heart...
“Long Ge, be a little gentler...”
“Sorry, I didn’t control my strength well...”
【Are there any girls out there? They say pretty girls are the best at deceiving, is that true?】
【By the way, please send some love, hearts, and I love you all!】
