Chapter 164
Seeing this, Xue Shaohua continued to smile brightly, scratching his head innocently and putting on an awkward expression. "Sorry, I didn’t think that far. I just thought it would be nice to meet your friends."
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning both noticed the displeasure on Hu Yuying's face.
They exchanged a glance with Xue Shaohua but didn’t say a word, simply walking away.
Xue Shaohua's smile froze for a moment as he watched the three of them leave, his mouth twitching slightly. "Ignored? I was actually ignored?"
Taking a deep breath, Xue Shaohua pulled out his phone from his pocket...

**Chapter 198: Oh Heaven, Can You Hear My Voice?**
With Xue Shaohua no longer pestering them, Hu Yuying's mood noticeably improved.
She disliked people like him, not just because he kept bothering her—though that was part of it—but mainly because he was so pretentious.
His gaze was filled with desire and possessiveness, yet he insisted on pretending to be serious.
It was just too hypocritical. Such insincerity reminded Hu Yuying of Ye Liangchen.
He always maintained an air of superiority, as if allowing them to be in his presence was a favor to them.
As if only he could possess happiness.
Ye Liangchen often spoke of saving himself.
Xue Shaohua always talked about making friends.
In essence, they were the same kind of person, and Hu Yuying didn’t like it, which made her a bit resentful.
"Alright, Yuying, don’t let some irrelevant person affect our mood," Li Qingxue gently comforted.
"Yeah, looks and figure are natural gifts. With your sexiness, there will always be people who covet your beauty and desire your body. We just need to ignore them."
Hearing Lin Wanning's words, Hu Yuying showed a shocked expression, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"
She found it hard to believe such words were coming from the usually cool and reserved Lin Wanning, not from Qingxue.
Seeing Hu Yuying's astonished face, Li Qingxue couldn’t help but chuckle. She had personally experienced just how repressed Lin Wanning could be.
The seemingly aloof beauty was actually a little flirtatious.
However, Hu Yuying quickly adjusted her mood.
They were out to have fun today; they couldn’t let others affect their spirits.
"Shall we go to the big market? It’s bound to be lively today."
Li Qingxue's suggestion was met with unanimous agreement from Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning.
This time, the market was indeed different from the last. There were more entertainment facilities, and while it wasn’t as comprehensive as a dedicated amusement park, the lively atmosphere drew in a large crowd.
"Qingxue, Wanning, look! There’s a ring toss!" Hu Yuying shouted excitedly, spotting the game.
"Yuying, do you want to play this?"
Hu Yuying nodded eagerly. "I played it before with Long Ge, and I won two cups!" Her pride was evident; even now, Long Ge was still using one of those cups.
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning exchanged curious glances at Hu Yuying.
They often played ring toss but had never been as excited as Hu Yuying was now.
Lin Wanning didn’t know, but Li Qingxue understood that Hu Yuying rarely showed such enthusiasm for anything.
Considering Hu Yuying’s frugal lifestyle, the two could almost imagine what her past life had been like.
So they suggested playing a round.
The three beautiful girls at the ring toss attracted a large crowd.
Watching the trio’s careful attempts, the onlookers couldn’t help but smile.
Especially when they saw Hu Yuying win a stuffed rabbit and the three girls excitedly hugging each other, the smiles on their faces were infectious.
Such youth was beautiful.
Afterward, the three went shopping for clothes. With the winds picking up in Kyoto and the weather gradually cooling, they each bought a jacket.
After trying on the jackets, Hu Yuying glanced around.
Then she said, "I’m going to check that way."
Qingxue and Wanning followed her gaze, noticing that most of the clothes over there were for men.
Instantly, they understood Hu Yuying’s intentions and couldn’t help but wonder why they hadn’t thought of it themselves.
They quickly followed her.
After picking out a few items, Hu Yuying held one up and asked, "What do you think of this one?"
"It really suits your brother."
"Long Aotian will definitely be pleased."
Hu Yuying agreed that the outfit would look great on Long Ge. "Don’t be fooled by his size; he doesn’t take care of himself."
When she thought about how Long Ge hadn’t eaten well while she was back home for a few days, Hu Yuying couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Then I’ll find him a nice inner layer," Lin Wanning said, starting to look for something suitable.
Li Qingxue looked at Hu Yuying, biting her lip. "Even though Long Aotian always bickers with me, he’s actually pretty good to me. I’ll buy him a pair of pants."
As they left the market, the three girls felt accomplished, eagerly anticipating Long Aotian’s surprised expression when he saw the clothes they had picked for him.
"Where to next?" Lin Wanning glanced at the time. It was still early, and her brother was probably busy.
"How about we go for a soak?" Li Qingxue suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Lin Wanning replied nonchalantly.
"But I just showered at school last night," Hu Yuying said softly.
Li Qingxue grabbed her arm. "At school, you can only take a quick shower. I really want to soak! Come with me, please!"
Faced with Li Qingxue’s pleading, Hu Yuying smiled. "Alright, fine."
"Let’s go~"
Once in the women’s changing room, Hu Yuying took off her shoes, slipped into some slippers, and began to undress.
As she removed her clothes, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning blinked in surprise.
"Yuying, how did you get so... well-endowed?"
Li Qingxue stepped forward, measuring Hu Yuying’s waist with her hands, then comparing it to her own. "How can you be so slim?"
Hu Yuying awkwardly covered herself with her discarded clothes, feeling shy. She didn’t dare say that Long Ge probably preferred girls with a better figure, so she occasionally worked out.
"Wait, let me touch! Why do you look smaller when you’re dressed?"
"What are you talking about, Wanning?" Hu Yuying was momentarily stunned. Earlier, when Wanning had made that comment about desire, she thought she had misheard, but now it seemed she hadn’t.
Taking advantage of Hu Yuying’s surprise, Lin Wanning quickly grabbed one, her hand not being gentle, and squeezed.
"Wanning, how can you do this..." Hu Yuying shivered, her face flushed.
"I want to touch too!" Li Qingxue joined in, grabbing Hu Yuying’s other side...
"Stop it, Qingxue! Wanning, you can’t squeeze..." The sounds of their playful banter echoed in the bathroom.
Moments later, Hu Yuying was soaking in the pool, leaning back against the edge, her face flushed, looking as if she had been thoroughly played with.
She glanced at the red marks on Lin Wanning’s long, beautiful legs.
Then she looked over at Li Qingxue, whose figure was perfectly proportioned, also lazily lying in the water.
The three exchanged smiles, finally enjoying a moment of peace.
After leaving the bathhouse, they felt light and incredibly comfortable.
"Oh Heaven, can you hear my voice..."

**Chapter 199: No Matter What Long Ge Thinks, That’s Our Business**
"Oh Heaven, can you hear my call?"
"I pray sincerely, let me save them. I can’t bear to see them deceived."
"Oh Heaven, if you can hear my call, please guide me."
Hearing the voice, the three girls paused, feeling it sounded somewhat familiar.
They looked up in the direction of the sound.
There stood a boy with his back to them, wildly shaking his head in the sunlight.
His wet hair flung droplets everywhere as he moved.
Then he turned around, hands running through his damp hair, slowly lifting his head while pushing his hair back, finally styling it into a slicked-back look.
When they saw the confident expression on his face, a flicker of disdain crossed the girls' eyes.
When Ye Liangchen spotted Hu Yuying and the others, a faint smile curved his lips.
He immediately opened his arms to the sky. "Oh Heaven, did you hear my call?"
As he spoke, he slowly brought his arms back, mimicking a self-embrace.
"Qingxue, what a coincidence!"
After this gesture, Ye Liangchen opened his eyes again, a bittersweet smile appearing as he jogged over to Hu Yuying and the others.
