Chapter 183
This time was just a fleeting moment, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water—after all, I hadn’t brushed my teeth yet, so I couldn’t stick out my tongue!
Gently pulling away, Hu Yuying cradled Long Aotian’s face in her hands. “Long Ge, if I miss you, I probably won’t meet anyone else in my life who can give me the same sense of security as you do.”
Her long legs shifted slightly, feeling a bit stiff and uncomfortable.
Hu Yuying blinked her dazed eyes, while Long Aotian inhaled sharply, looking helplessly at the little one still restless in his arms. “What am I supposed to do with you?”
She lightly straddled him, her cheeks flushed. “I told you, I’m willing to do anything for you, Long Ge.”
As she spoke, her head rested against his chest. “I really cherish you, Long Ge. My feelings for you aren’t just a fleeting impulse; they’re my true thoughts. My heart won’t allow me to deceive you. Everything I do is what I truly want.”
It felt like a flood breaking loose, uncontrollable.
Long Aotian lifted Hu Yuying and walked toward the folding bed, gently placing her down.
The moment was charged with emotion; as he pulled down his pants, her cool, fair thighs were mesmerizing, making it hard to look away.
He was on the verge of overwhelming her.
Suddenly, the alarm clock blared.
In that instant, as Long Aotian turned off the alarm, he halted his movements.
Her small hand was clenched tightly, her face a mix of tension and fear.
Her body was taut, trembling slightly, lost and uncertain.
Her breath lingered in his ears.
“Long, Long Ge, I’m not scared... I’m just a little nervous... because I’ve never experienced anything like this before...”
Long Aotian rested his head against Hu Yuying’s flat stomach, taking a deep breath, swallowing hard. When he looked up again, reason had regained control.
In this messy little room, in this dusty place, taking Hu Yuying’s innocence would be a form of disrespect...
Most importantly, seeing her so tense and frightened was clearly a result of his own rough actions.
Physical intimacy should be a mutual pleasure, not just a need driven by his desires.
Ignoring Hu Yuying’s feelings was irresponsible.
And the workers would be arriving soon...
...
Splashing cold water on her face, Hu Yuying had already put her clothes back on and stepped out of the small room. She stared blankly at Long Aotian, seemingly regretting whether her nervousness had affected his experience.
Long Aotian scratched his head, gently taking her hand. “I’m sorry, I scared you just now.”
“I could handle it, really.”
The more Hu Yuying insisted, the heavier Long Aotian’s guilt became.
She was compromising herself for him, wanting to give him everything, while he hadn’t even noticed her emotions...
She understood nothing, and besides her nervousness, all that remained was fear. He had never comforted her; compared to Hu Yuying, he felt utterly inadequate.
“Long Ge, don’t you want me?” she asked, her expression unreadable.
Those words detonated in Long Aotian’s mind like a bomb.
Looking at Hu Yuying’s flustered face, he lightly tapped her forehead, exasperated. “What are you talking about? It’s not that I don’t want you. I’d wake up smiling in my dreams just to have such an amazing girlfriend.”
“I want you, not just in this moment. I want you to have the best of everything, not in this messy, dusty room.”
Hu Yuying leaned against Long Aotian’s shoulder, gripping his hand tightly. “What you’re saying doesn’t really matter to me. I just want the best, and for someone like me, it’s most important that you can reciprocate my feelings.”
“I cherish the time we spend together, and I genuinely want to be your woman. Back in my hometown, many girls my age are already married.”
Long Ge’s kindness was something even my grandparents couldn’t criticize. Such goodness is worth everything; it’s not that I lack self-respect, but that Long Ge is worth it...
Hu Yuying’s words flowed like a warm current through his heart. To have a girl like her fall for him felt like discovering a beautiful treasure.
And all of this was brought to him by Hu Yuying.
Long Aotian adjusted her clothes and gently kissed her forehead. “Let’s go. The workers will be here soon. I’ll take you for breakfast first.”
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “You are my ideal in this world.”
Finally, Hu Yuying smiled, her smile so sweet it seemed a bit silly. “Kiss me again, I want another kiss.”
She tiptoed, presenting herself to Long Aotian, feeling the kiss on her forehead. Her lips curled into a smile—was there anything more beautiful than this moment?
Hand in hand, they left the courtyard.
Walking down the morning street, the weather seemed to change for them, the air becoming fresh and invigorating.
As they passed an alley, Long Aotian glanced over.
“What are you thinking about, Long Ge?” Hu Yuying asked.
“I think I just saw two people sleeping in the alley.”
“No way? I didn’t see anyone.”
“Maybe I was mistaken.”
Hearing their voices, Ye Liangchen suddenly woke up, peeking out and feeling a sharp pain in his heart. The two hadn’t come out all night, and now they were finally out—how infuriating!
He glanced back at the still-sleeping Xue Shaohua, his anger flaring. He couldn’t help but slap him twice on the face.
Xue Shaohua gasped, waking up in confusion, staring blankly at Ye Liangchen.
“Wake up! People are leaving, and you’re still sleeping!”
【Two days until the Spring Festival countdown, it’s getting closer!】
【Also, thanks for the god-level certification. I saw it a bit late and didn’t thank the boss in time. Hope the boss doesn’t mind. Love you all!】

Chapter 222: Did I Let You Go?
Xue Shaohua was momentarily stunned, then felt a burning pain on his face.
“Damn it, why did you hit me?”
“How can you even ask? Have you forgotten what we’re here to do?” Ye Liangchen was so angry his stomach hurt. They had done it several times in one night!
He couldn’t bear to think about it. If he were in Long Aotian’s shoes, facing a girl like Hu Yuying, it definitely wouldn’t be just once.
So Ye Liangchen was furious, his words laced with irritation. Long Aotian was clearly not taking him seriously!
But Xue Shaohua, who had been slapped awake, was even angrier. Who wouldn’t feel a bit of rage after being slapped awake in their sleep?
Ye Liangchen noticed the look in Xue Shaohua’s eyes and awkwardly said, “Alright, we have a common enemy. Let’s hurry up; they’ve already left.”
Hearing this, Xue Shaohua took a deep breath, suppressing his displeasure. At least Ye Liangchen was right; they had waited all night in this alley to deal with Long Aotian, to make him realize he needed to leave Hu Yuying.
That was the most important thing. As long as Long Aotian could leave Hu Yuying, what did it matter if he got slapped twice?
To avoid missing Long Aotian and Hu Yuying like yesterday, they hurriedly chased after them.
Fortunately, this time they were somewhat lucky.
Long Aotian and Hu Yuying were at a nearby breakfast shop.
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua’s eyes nearly burst with flames.
They had spent the entire night in the alley waiting to confront Long Aotian, and not only was he not coming out to take his beating, he was now laughing so happily.
The more Long Aotian smiled, the angrier Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua became.
This was nothing short of humiliation.
“I can’t take it anymore. Today, I have to take him down. I need him to understand the consequences of stealing my girl—no, I need him to realize how serious it is to delay Hu Yuying’s future.”
In Xue Shaohua’s eyes, Long Aotian was nothing but a hindrance to Hu Yuying’s future.
At this age, when passions run high, if he could use his fervor to bring a misguided girl back to the right path, it would be a memory to cherish for a lifetime.
He could even imagine that when Hu Yuying saw him standing up for her, she might be moved by his bravery.
He could already picture himself holding Hu Yuying’s hand, escaping from Long Aotian, his noble and heroic figure forever etched in her memory.
When they grew old, it would be a story to tell.
The more he thought about it, the more impulsive Xue Shaohua felt.
It seemed that saving Hu Yuying had become an urgent matter!
Ye Liangchen looked at the restless Xue Shaohua and honestly thought about giving him another slap.
He couldn’t keep his cool at all; how could he expect to work with him?
