Chapter 194
“Long Ge, I bought you some things.” Hu Yuying seemed to remember something and pulled Long Aotian's hand back into the room.
She took out a pair of underwear from the shopping bag and presented it to Long Aotian. “When I was cleaning the room last time, I saw that your underwear was all worn out, so I got you a new pair.”
Hearing this, Long Aotian chuckled, a bit annoyed. “Where’s it worn out?”
Seeing that Long Ge still wouldn’t admit it, Hu Yuying soon found his underwear from under the bedding.
The moment Long Aotian saw what was in her hand, the smile on his face vanished. He hurriedly stepped forward, snatched it from her, and hid it behind his back. “Th-That’s... that’s been worn!”
He had bought so many pairs of underwear, yet somehow they all went missing. Turns out, they were just buried under the sheets and forgotten.
What was embarrassing was that Hu Yuying had actually found them.
“There’s more here.” Hu Yuying opened the suitcase, her expression turning puzzled. “Strange, I clearly saw them the day before yesterday. Why can’t I find them now?”
Upon hearing this, Long Aotian instinctively scratched his backside.
She couldn’t possibly be talking about the pair he was wearing right now, could she?
Clearing his throat, he said, “Don’t look for them anymore; I might have thrown them away.” That would explain why the underwear he had just seen yesterday had vanished today.
Hu Yuying nodded, believing him, since that pair of underwear did seem like it was long overdue for the trash.
She stepped closer to Long Aotian and extended her palm...
...
**Chapter 235: Love is Beyond Control**
She stepped closer to Long Aotian and extended her palm.
“What’s up?”
“Give me the underwear; I’ll wash it for you.”
Long Aotian instinctively shook his head. “I’ll wash it myself tonight.”
Seeing his reaction, Hu Yuying bit her lip, her eyes dimming. She gently tugged at the hem of his shirt. “Long Ge, do you still want to treat me like a stranger?”
When he saw the expression on the little girl’s face, Long Aotian wanted to reach for her hand.
But Hu Yuying subtly turned away, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance, refusing to let him hold her hand.
Long Aotian helplessly explained, “I-I didn’t mean it like that. I just... I can wash this myself...”
After saying that, he stole a glance at Hu Yuying, only to find her staring down, lost in thought.
In fact, her emotional shifts were quite evident.
“Long Ge, you’re just used to being alone.” She looked up at him earnestly. “You’re my boyfriend; why can’t I wash for you?”
At this point, she sniffled. “Long Ge, I’m your girlfriend now. I can take care of you and do anything for you...”
Hu Yuying’s gaze was persistent and pure, so much so that Long Aotian didn’t dare to meet her eyes, especially since she had just sniffled. If he didn’t give in, and she cried, he would feel uncomfortable too.
Faced with her outstretched hand once more, Long Aotian scratched his head in confusion. Seeing her eyes welling up, he quickly handed over the underwear he was gripping tightly.
Taking the underwear, Hu Yuying lowered her gaze and pulled out the new pair she had just bought.
With her long hair covering her face, no one noticed the happy smile at the corner of her lips.
Sometimes, the advice from good friends really comes in handy, especially when Long Ge can’t stand to see her upset...
Through the door, he watched Hu Yuying sitting on a small stool, focused on washing his underwear.
Long Aotian felt a surge of emotions.
At that moment, all he wanted was to hold the girl in front of him, to do nothing but embrace her.
In fact, Long Aotian did just that.
He wrapped his arms around Hu Yuying from behind, greedily inhaling her faint, sweet scent.
Feeling Long Ge’s embrace, Hu Yuying paused for a moment, then gently caressed his cheek. “Long Ge, even a little follower like me can grow up and take care of you.”
Since becoming Long Ge’s little follower, he had always been the one taking care of her.
She truly wanted to do something within her means for him.
In the past eighteen years, there had been countless times when Hu Yuying had taken care of herself; she was capable of looking after herself.
Now, she wanted to take care of Long Ge, and she truly could.
It was Long Ge’s presence that added a different hue to her life.
Like the colorful candy wrappers under the sunlight...
After a while, Hu Yuying seemed to sense something.
She looked at the hand that had unknowingly grabbed onto her, tilted her little face back against Long Ge’s shoulder, and smiled dreamily at him. “Long Ge, you’re so annoying...”
Long Aotian’s breath hitched as he gently held her chin, guiding her closer.
The little girl’s lips were so sweet...
A gust of wind blew, scattering the leaves across the yard...
...
On the way back, Li Qingxue looked at Lin Wanning, feeling a bit puzzled.
“Wanning, you seem really eager to get Yuying and Long Aotian together.”
Hearing this, Lin Wanning nodded, not denying it.
But it was precisely because of this that Li Qingxue felt curious and tentatively asked, “Do you want Yuying to hurry up and be with Long Aotian, so she can let go of her feelings?”
That was the only explanation Li Qingxue could think of.
Lin Wanning gently swayed her arms, gazing at the sky, where the sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting countless tiny beams of light.
The specks of light fell on Lin Wanning’s cheeks, adding a touch of softness to her cool, ethereal face.
“Do you think someone like my brother can just forget someone if he says so?”
Li Qingxue had an answer to this question in her heart. Long Aotian wasn’t particularly outstanding, but he had an undeniable charm that was hard to ignore.
The more time spent together, the more one could feel his personal allure.
Were there better-looking guys than Long Aotian? Yes.
Were there guys with better physiques? Yes.
But none of them were Long Aotian...
“I’m starting to find it hard to understand you.” Li Qingxue said honestly.
“I’m actually quite simple, but there are some things I can’t tell you yet.”
Lin Wanning smiled playfully, and on her otherworldly face, that playful smile felt quite warm.
“It definitely isn’t anything bad, so don’t worry.” Seeing Li Qingxue’s puzzled expression, Lin Wanning chuckled. “Sometimes, falling for someone really feels like being out of control.”
“It’s incomparable to anything else.”
Even knowing it’s not right, her body still yearns to be close to him.
It’s terrifying and hard to shake off, even when her mind knows it’s not the right time or place, but there’s nothing she can do; it’s a helpless feeling...
Lin Wanning didn’t answer Li Qingxue’s question directly, as she still held onto her own stubbornness.
Everyone has a different personality.
Sometimes, Lin Wanning envied Li Qingxue’s ability to take things lightly; perhaps the process was just a bit tough...
But she was more stubborn than Li Qingxue.
Yet they remained good friends, the best of friends, close buddies.
If someone had to bear the blame, Li Qingxue’s character wouldn’t allow her to do that, as she had her own pride.
But Lin Wanning was different; she had once experienced happiness, only to have it stripped away by her own mother.
She said she didn’t hate them, but did she really not care at all?
Fortunately, she met her brother, a brother who brought her so much security, a brother who would pull her up even when she was in darkness.
So Lin Wanning didn’t have that much pride, even harboring a somewhat unhealthy obsession.
The first time she was abandoned, her biological parents didn’t want her.
The second time, they had their own biological child.
She didn’t want to be abandoned again; if she could hold onto something, she would do anything and wouldn’t regret it...
【Thanks to all the sisters and brothers for your support! I knew that as long as everyone contributes, little by little, it can add up to something big. Thank you!】
**Chapter 236: Long Ge, Want to Give It a Try?**
“You know so much, and you’re so good-looking. Whoever gets to be your boyfriend in the future will be incredibly lucky, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Li Qingxue said half-jokingly, and from Lin Wanning’s words, she could tell that Wanning still had feelings for Long Aotian.
