Chapter 180
Long Ao Tian didn’t give Ye Liang Chen a chance to speak. He cast a casual glance at him and said, “Don’t make me hit you when I’m in a good mood!”
Ye Liang Chen’s lips twitched, his breath quickening, and he felt a dull ache in his cheeks...
The words he had rehearsed in his mind just moments ago were now stuck in his throat because of Long Ao Tian’s remark.
“Get out of the way!”
Ye Liang Chen gritted his teeth, his mind racing: I’ve turned dark; I’m no longer the old Ye Liang Chen. If you want to play, I’ll play along, but once the game starts, there’s no turning back.
That was what he thought, but his body instinctively stepped aside.
He could only watch as Long Ao Tian led Hu Yu Ying past him.
Hu Yu Ying’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at her Long Ge’s back, that damned sense of security flooding her sweet heart.
Long Ge’s actions were undoubtedly telling her that he would protect her, and it wasn’t just empty words.
“Did he provoke you again?”
As they walked, Long Ao Tian turned to Hu Yu Ying and asked softly.
“No.” Hu Yu Ying quickly shook her head. She loved being protected by Long Ge; it wrapped her heart in happiness. But more than that, she didn’t want Long Ge to fight for her.
Last time, when Long Ge hit Ye Liang Chen, his palm had turned red from the force, and it broke her heart.
So she said, “I just really dislike him, I can’t stand him.” There was no hesitation in her voice, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Disliking him wasn’t because he spoke ill of her; it wasn’t even because he had stalked her. It was simply because he dared to speak ill of Long Ge.
He could say whatever he wanted about her, but if he made Long Ge angry, even a little white rabbit could bite back.
...
Ye Liang Chen stared fiercely at Long Ao Tian’s back as he walked away with Hu Yu Ying.
His fists were tightly clenched; he was on the verge of losing control and throwing a punch!
Fortunately, his will was strong enough. Even though he had turned dark and no longer feared Long Ao Tian, he really didn’t want to show his violent side in front of Hu Yu Ying.
Although Hu Yu Ying was now with Long Ao Tian, she was still the unique treasure he once cherished. He just didn’t want to ruin the gentle image he had in her eyes.
If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t even bother with a defeated foe like Long Ao Tian!
Xue Shao Hua let out a bitter laugh, flipping his bangs. He stood at the door, but Hu Yu Ying didn’t even notice him. The pain of being ignored was worse than being scolded.
In her eyes, it seemed like there was only Long Ao Tian, leaving no room for anyone else.
Jealousy, jealousy filled his heart.
Why did that Long Ao Tian get to occupy Hu Yu Ying’s gaze?
He was going to be her classmate for the next four years!
“Is it really wrong to like someone?”
“No way!” Ye Liang Chen had somehow made his way to Xue Shao Hua’s side. Hearing Xue Shao Hua’s words struck a chord in him.
“Liking someone is not wrong; the only thing wrong is those filthy-minded beasts who get in the way of happiness!”
“Love is great, but some people just don’t deserve it.”
Ye Liang Chen’s words pulled Xue Shao Hua out of his momentary jealousy.
He flipped his bangs and gently patted Xue Shao Hua’s shoulder. “If loving someone is a crime, then all those girls who admire me should be sentenced to death!”
At this point, Ye Liang Chen looked again at the retreating figures of Long Ao Tian and Hu Yu Ying, who were now out of sight.
He sighed, “Do you remember the task I gave you?”
Xue Shao Hua thought for a moment and said, “You mean checking Hu Yu Ying’s notes?”
“Exactly. Xue Shao Hua, remember, as long as you can help me get the contents of Hu Yu Ying’s notes, I’ll make Long Ao Tian pay a price he could never imagine. That’s my confidence!”
This was Ye Liang Chen’s last shred of confidence because he was a reborn person.
As long as he knew Hu Yu Ying’s entrepreneurial steps and core ideas, with the abilities from his past life, intercepting her would be a piece of cake...

After a long moment, Xue Shao Hua looked up at Ye Liang Chen.
“You can hold your own against him; what if I join you?”
When he said this, Xue Shao Hua’s tone was unusually serious.
Ye Liang Chen was right; liking someone wasn’t wrong. The wrong ones were those who obstructed their happiness.
Xue Shao Hua had just asked himself repeatedly if he could accept the girl he liked being with another man.
His heart had given him the answer: “No way.”
Watching Hu Yu Ying being led away by someone else, Long Ao Tian didn’t even consider how much it hurt him.
So he had nothing to hold back.
Besides, that Long Ao Tian didn’t truly love Hu Yu Ying; maybe he liked her a little.
But it could never compare to Xue Shao Hua’s feelings for Hu Yu Ying.
If that was the case, then let Long Ao Tian leave, and everything could return to normal.
Ye Liang Chen frowned tightly. “Are you serious?”
“Of course!” Xue Shao Hua squinted his eyes and said, “Long Ao Tian can’t give Hu Yu Ying the happiness she wants.”
“A University is one of the most prestigious institutions in the country. Hu Yu Ying getting into A University already puts her on a different level than Long Ao Tian.”
“Maybe it’s not obvious now, but as time goes on, with the differences in education, once Hu Yu Ying sees a broader world, that gap will only widen.”
“After all, the companies recruiting at A University are world-renowned. From the moment Hu Yu Ying entered A University, her starting point was already higher than Long Ao Tian’s. A strong woman and a weak man—there’s no need to think; I know they’ll have constant conflicts in the future.”
“Since that’s the case, it’s better to let Long Ao Tian back off early and make him realize the gap between him and Hu Yu Ying. If he truly cares for her, he’ll let her go...”
Ye Liang Chen understood Xue Shao Hua’s meaning and continued, “If he doesn’t leave, we can stand on the moral high ground and criticize him?”
Xue Shao Hua flipped his hair, a confident smile curling at the corners of his mouth. “Exactly.”
“After all, it seems that Long Ao Tian is the one holding her back. Hu Yu Ying deserves someone better, not someone like him.”
Ye Liang Chen couldn’t help but look at Xue Shao Hua with newfound respect.
Feeling Ye Liang Chen’s approving gaze, Xue Shao Hua’s confidence soared.
This was just a moment of inspiration for him.
He was good enough; if Hu Yu Ying could be with him, she would definitely be very happy.
Just this point alone was something Long Ao Tian couldn’t compete with.
Since Hu Yu Ying could have better options, why should Long Ao Tian stand in her way?
“But before that, I want to teach him a lesson. I can’t stand it when someone dares to touch what I have my eyes on.”
Looking at the determination in Xue Shao Hua’s eyes, he recalled the humiliation he suffered at Long Ao Tian’s hands.
After all, Long Ao Tian was just one person; two fists couldn’t fight four hands...
“Are you brave enough to say something?” Xue Shao Hua asked, frowning.
Ye Liang Chen took a deep breath, a slight smile forming on his lips. “Then I’ll risk my life to accompany you!”
Having made up his mind, the two no longer hesitated and headed straight in the direction Long Ao Tian had left.
Ye Liang Chen clenched his fists tightly; he had wanted to hit Long Ao Tian for a long time.
This time, even if it meant revealing his wild side in front of Hu Yu Ying, he was determined to make Long Ao Tian pay!
After chasing down the street, there were simply too many people during the holiday, and they couldn’t find Long Ao Tian and Hu Yu Ying anywhere.
“Damn, that guy runs fast.” Xue Shao Hua panted, flipping his hair. “But I’m not willing to let this go!”
Ye Liang Chen, with the soul of a twenty-eight-year-old, was quick-witted. After thinking for a moment, he smirked. “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
“What plan?” Xue Shao Hua asked anxiously. Earlier, in the breakfast shop, he had been filled with passion, standing on the high ground of emotions, and now he just wanted to release it.
After all, Ye Liang Chen had said that liking someone wasn’t wrong.
Moreover, for the next four years, he would be Hu Yu Ying’s classmate. In this relationship, he was confident that as long as Long Ao Tian didn’t bother Hu Yu Ying anymore, she would definitely see his good side.
“Do you remember that courtyard in the alley last time?”
Seeing the realization dawning on Xue Shao Hua’s face, Ye Liang Chen chuckled. “Exactly, he can run, but he can’t escape the temple.”
“You really have a good idea.” Xue Shao Hua stretched his neck. “Daring to compete with me for a woman, I’ll make you pay for it!”
Hearing this, Ye Liang Chen frowned slightly.
