Chapter 187
Arriving at a nearby mall, I found a food stall I liked and plopped down, not wanting to get up again.
The moment I sat down, Long Aotian felt as if he had come back to life.
It was my first time here, and without a proper plan, I ended up wandering quite a bit, but at the same time, I was filled with endless emotions.
This was also their first time experiencing the grandeur of history.
A mix of pain and joy, perhaps.
While waiting for the food, the three girls took a moment to rest, then excitedly pulled out their phones to share the photos they had taken.
Long Aotian got up to grab some drinks from the counter.
During the time he was away, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing leaned in to Hu Yuying and whispered, “Are you going back to the school dorm today?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuying’s face flushed with a hint of embarrassment; such a direct question was really something.
But seeing the eager expressions on her friends' faces, she gently shook her head and said, “I’m not going back.”
It wasn’t that Hu Yuying wanted to hide this; after all, it was quite a difficult situation to explain.
As a girl, staying at Long Ge’s place...
But since Qingxue was in the same school and even lived across from her in the dorm, if she didn’t go back, Qingxue would definitely find out. It was better to just admit it.
“My brother has ultimately been claimed by you alone,” Lin Wanqing sighed lightly, casting a wistful glance at Hu Yuying.
Li Qingxue chuckled, “What you did was with your ‘brother’.”
“But I’m a bit curious—are you two sleeping in the same bed?”
“Long Aotian, that big flirt, actually managed to resist touching you. Could it be that he...”
Images of Long Ge’s younger brother’s resilience flashed in her mind, and her legs instinctively crossed.
+ Tighter.
“It’s not like that; Long Ge is perfectly fine. We didn’t sleep in the same bed...” The more she explained, the more embarrassed Hu Yuying became. In truth, she secretly wished to sleep in the same bed with Long Ge; it would make her feel so safe...
Upon hearing that Hu Yuying and Long Aotian hadn’t slept together, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing felt a strange sense of relief.
But soon, they realized that Hu Yuying had mentioned Long Ge was perfectly fine. What exactly did that mean?
Sometimes, when girls get curious, it’s not about the boys at all.
In fact, sometimes, while you think boys are more attached to girls’ bodies, girls are even more curious about the male anatomy.
And once they get familiar, they might even want to hold it in their hands before they can sleep soundly...
Hu Yuying shook her head, “It’s not good for us to talk about Long Ge like this in secret.”
“But you’re the only one among us who has a boyfriend. We’re just curious.”
“Exactly! I promise I won’t hide anything from my girlfriends in the future.”
The two of them exchanged banter, making Hu Yuying blush furiously.
The old Hu Yuying would have definitely shied away from such conversations, but the current Hu Yuying was willing to listen because she had experiences to draw from.
In the end, she could only sneak a glance at Long Ge and then leaned closer to the two, whispering, “Long Ge has abs, you know. I saw it secretly.”
Actually, it wasn’t so much a secret as it was when she had sneakily touched him while he was still waking up that morning.
This revelation sent Lin Wanqing into a frenzy of excitement. Her cool, elegant face showed no expression, but she leaned forward, “Tell me more about how good my brother’s physique is.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she let out a little “Oh!” and immediately hugged her head, looking up at Long Aotian, who had returned with drinks, and made a couple of incoherent sounds!
Seeing Long Aotian, Li Qingxue immediately straightened up, as if she were the most well-behaved child.
Meanwhile, Hu Yuying just stole a glance at Long Aotian and quickly turned her head away, looking guilty, which made Long Aotian feel both amused and exasperated.
Sitting next to Hu Yuying, he quietly asked, “When did you see that?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuying’s head dropped lower, glancing at Long Aotian, and whispered, “I touched it secretly.”
Long Aotian ruffled Hu Yuying’s long hair and whispered in her ear, “I didn’t know my little follower had learned to sneak attack.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his hand being grabbed.
Hu Yuying gently tugged at Long Aotian’s hand, “Long Ge, please don’t tease me, okay?”
A woman’s playful charm is truly irresistible; this saying isn’t just a cliché.
Watching Hu Yuying act cute and Long Aotian’s helpless expression, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but smile like proud aunts.
They could also act cute, but they couldn’t do it as fearlessly as Hu Yuying, nor could they match her gentle demeanor.
Especially seeing Long Aotian’s doting expression at that moment, they too wished to be treated with such affection.
Stealing a glance at Hu Yuying, they thought that if they could, they wouldn’t mind playing with whatever was left of Yuying’s charm.
After a simple dinner, the four of them boarded the subway.
As the train sped along, Hu Yuying, who had been whispering with Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing, began to lose focus.
She occasionally glanced at Long Ge beside her.
As the subway approached the next station, she subtly shifted her seat to sit next to Long Aotian.
Such a small action didn’t escape the notice of Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing.
They both stifled giggles and leaned closer to Hu Yuying, whispering in her ear, “Love blinds friendship.”
This made Hu Yuying’s face flush, but she didn’t argue; her current actions did seem a bit like love blinding friendship...
When the subway arrived at the station, Long Aotian pretended to get up.
Hu Yuying quickly stood up ahead of him, closely following Long Aotian’s side.
Seeing her actions, Long Aotian smiled.
Before he could say anything, Hu Yuying jumped in, “I’m not going back.”
After saying that, she cautiously hooked her little finger around Long Aotian’s.
Long Aotian remained calm, firmly holding onto Hu Yuying’s hand, then turned to Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing, “Take your time on the way, and be safe.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuying let out a sigh of relief, a genuine smile spreading across her face. Great! She could stay by Long Ge’s side again.
In contrast, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing felt a mix of emotions watching this scene unfold.
At first, they had said that Long Aotian shouldn’t spend money on big renovations.
Now, they hoped the renovations would be finished soon so that they could act cute and share the rent to move in.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qingxue said, “Got it. We’ll be careful.”
As the subway doors closed, they parted ways with him...
【May the new year surpass the old, and Happy Spring Festival!】
【Wishing all the young men and women a bright future, full of energy. May good luck abound, and may you be safe and healthy...】

Chapter 227: Checking In
After leaving the subway station, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing walked along the street under the streetlights.
Despite the late hour, there were still plenty of people around.
“Do you think if Yuying is easy, my brother won’t be able to resist her?” Lin Wanqing whispered.
Li Qingxue shook her head, “No way.”
“I know Long Aotian; he’s a responsible and caring person. He might want Yuying, but it definitely won’t be now.”
In truth, Li Qingxue wasn’t entirely sure, but she had a strong feeling.
Long Aotian cared too much for Hu Yuying.
Otherwise, he would have already taken everything from her yesterday.
Lin Wanqing seemed to think of something and asked softly, “Do you think if I did something bad, my brother would forgive me?”
Hearing this, Li Qingxue turned to Lin Wanqing, her mischievous eyes narrowing slightly, “What exactly are you planning to do?”
Lin Wanqing shrugged, “I’m just saying.”
“Well, it depends on what kind of mistake you make. Generally speaking, Long Aotian is quite tolerant of us.”
At this point, Li Qingxue looked at Lin Wanqing again. Before they got familiar, she wouldn’t have paid much attention to such comments from Lin Wanqing.
But now, knowing Lin Wanqing’s playful nature, she couldn’t help but take notice.
“Hey, what kind of look is that? Don’t think too badly of me; I’m actually quite nice,” Lin Wanqing said, lightly bumping Li Qingxue with her hip.
“I know you too well. You’re the one who led me and Yuying astray. How come you, who’ve never even held hands with a guy, know so much?”
“Who says I’ve never held hands with a guy?” Lin Wanqing replied, a bit smug. Not only had she held hands, but she had also been hugged and kissed.
But she kept those details to herself.
