Chapter 166
"You all know nothing at all, yet I’ve been genuinely sacrificing for you. I’ve given everything, and in return, you say I’m crazy?"
Li Qingxue could no longer hold back her anger. She turned to Ye Liangchen and shouted, "What have you sacrificed for us?"
"What right do you have to say that? Do we have to rely on you to succeed? Why should we? Our lives are ours to live, not to hand over to you!"
"Even if Long Aotian is as pathetic as you say, I’m still willing to be with him, okay?"
Li Qingxue was furious.
"Fine, fine, fine, you finally admit it, right? Then let me tell you just how much I’ve sacrificed for you."
At this point, Ye Liangchen slowly closed his eyes. "I didn’t want to tell you. I thought I could bear it all alone, but since you asked, I’ll lay it all out for you—just how much I’ve done for you!"
"Hou Yuying, when you were bullied by Long Aotian, I was always indignant on your behalf. I even kept a little notebook to record his misdeeds, planning to help you get revenge later."
"When I found out that Long Aotian was taking you to set up a stall, worried you’d be dragged down into the mud, it was me who chose to save you again. But you rejected me, and still, I chose to save you."
"And last time, I took two slaps from Long Aotian for you. Isn’t that enough?"
"And you, Li Qingxue, we’ve known each other for nine years. For nine years, I’ve protected you like an older brother, right? But what have you done?"
"You clearly have the ability. Even if you spent another year with me, you could still get into A University, but you turned me down. Nine years of my protection couldn’t even earn me one year of your support. How hurtful!"
"But I didn’t choose to hate you. Instead, I used connections and spent money to come to Kyoto. I thought you’d be happy to see me and fulfill the promise you made about dating when you got to university."
"But what about you? You betrayed your own promise, turning my sacrifices into a joke. Isn’t that enough?"
Finally, he turned to Lin Wanning. "You went to school in Ye Village when you were little, right?"
"That’s right, I was your deskmate in kindergarten."
"We met in preschool. Even though I moved away, one summer, when I returned to Ye Village, I helped you when you fell. Doesn’t that count as childhood sweethearts?"
"When I came to Kyoto, I recognized you at first glance."
"When I learned that Long Aotian was going to make a move on you, I was the one who showed up to help you!"
Lin Wanning frowned.
Seeing her frown, Ye Liangchen smiled. "Can’t remember, huh?"
"Earlier, when you and Long Aotian came out of the mall and rode back to school, what did he do to you? He even forced you to stick out your tongue. It was me who made a noise and interrupted his inappropriate actions."
"Would you have known all this if I hadn’t said anything? I’ve been silently helping you from behind, sacrificing for you, yet you keep hurting me time and again."
Ye Liangchen poured out everything he had done for them.
He thought that after hearing about his sacrifices, they would be moved to tears, regretful for how they had treated him, and finally realize the truth about him...
But he never expected that Lin Wanning would pull out her phone and dial 11 Dan. "If you keep stalking us, I’ll call the police, you creep!"
"Ye Liangchen, from now on, let’s pretend we never met," Li Qingxue said seriously.
She was no longer angry. With someone like him, she had lost all patience; the best way to deal with it was to ignore him.
Hu Yuying didn’t even glance at Ye Liangchen, pulling the two younger girls away. For someone who always spoke ill of Long Ge, he wasn’t worth a second look. As for his so-called sacrifices, they were just empty words.
First of all, Long Ge hadn’t bullied her; on the contrary, she had been the one causing trouble for him. Long Ge had always helped her and treated her really, really well.
Secondly, when Long Ge took her to set up a stall, it was to help her earn money.
Thanks to Long Ge, she had been able to earn her university tuition in a short time and even had some left over to help her grandparents improve their lives a bit.
Based on all this, everything Ye Liangchen had said was false, or perhaps just his own fantasies. The clearest point was that he kept insisting Long Ge had forced her.
But that simply wasn’t true.
Watching the three of them walk away, Ye Liangchen angrily swung his arm. He had thought that after hearing about his sacrifices, they would at least feel a bit touched.
But instead, they chose to remain stubbornly ignorant!
"I was going to give you one last chance, but it seems I was too kind. Fine, fine, fine, remember what you said to me today."
"Without my help and redemption, your future is clear as day. When that time comes, don’t blame me for not saving you!"
He said this, but Ye Liangchen couldn’t accept that outcome.
After all, he was a reborn person. If it weren’t for the need to redeem them, would he really be so humble?
They were truly ungrateful, driving him to the brink of madness!
The obsessions from his past life, combined with those from this life, left Ye Liangchen feeling unwilling to accept it. He was genuinely frustrated.
Looking at the three figures, their graceful silhouettes accentuated by the shadows, a dark seed quietly sprouted in his heart...

**Chapter 201: My Youth**
Hu Yuying hurriedly pulled Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning away from that place.
"That guy is a total lunatic."
"Yuying, don’t listen to that creep’s nonsense."
Lin Wanning glanced at Hu Yuying, who was silent, and softly said, "Earlier, when my brother and I were riding, a bug flew into my eye. He just helped me blow it out; it wasn’t like what that creep said."
Suddenly, Hu Yuying stopped in her tracks. "I don’t understand why that guy keeps talking bad about Long Ge."
"I don’t get why he always acts like he’s looking out for us but does things that are completely incomprehensible."
Hearing this, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, what Ye Liangchen had said earlier was hard to accept...
"He wasn’t like this before. I don’t know how he suddenly changed."
Li Qingxue had known Ye Liangchen the longest, and it was really hard to connect him to the person he had become.
"So, did Long Ge really force you to stick out your tongue?" Hu Yuying asked Lin Wanning.
Lin Wanning didn’t expect Hu Yuying’s leap in logic to be so big. She immediately shook her head, but then felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her.
Long Aotian hadn’t forced her; she had willingly stuck out her tongue.
But admitting that would be a bit embarrassing.
Especially in front of Hu Yuying, the most important person in her brother’s heart.
"But the situation wasn’t like what Ye Liangchen said. My brother isn’t that kind of person; you should know better than I do..."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Hu Yuying, only to find her deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, nothing," Hu Yuying gently shook her head.
She had just suddenly thought of a cheesy point...
"Let’s leave this place first. We shouldn’t come here to bathe anymore," Li Qingxue said.
Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning nodded, even looking back to ensure no one was following them.
Once they got on the subway, the three girls looked at the clothes they had bought. "What do you think Long Ge is doing right now?"
Li Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "Sunbathing." That guy loved to soak up the sun, especially on a nice day like today. If it were him, he’d definitely be lounging on a chair, enjoying the warmth.
"Making clay figures." Hu Yuying wasn’t guessing; she remembered the last time she video-called Long Ge, he was busy molding clay, making a square block with two lizard tails stuck on top, insisting it was a Bull Demon King...
It had almost scared her to death, and then Long Ge had teased her for being a coward...
After hearing Hu Yuying’s words, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning felt that Long Aotian’s sense of humor was indeed quite peculiar.
But they also understood that Hu Yuying was truly special to Long Aotian.
At least, he had never acted like that in front of them.
As they chatted, the three girls reached the end of the alley.
