Chapter 195
How could she not understand? As a good sister, all she could do was persuade Wan Ning like this.
If there was someone to blame, it had to be Long Ao Tian. It was all his fault for having a look and personality that captured the hearts of the three girls...
"Of course," Lin Wan Ning said, tossing her long hair back, her cool little face breaking into a smile. "I’m good-looking, I know a lot about cheese, I can sing, and I can dance..."
Li Qingxue shot her a disdainful glance. "We've known each other for so long, and I’ve never heard you sing."
"Then how about we go sing today?"
"Sounds great!" Li Qingxue readily agreed to Lin Wan Ning's suggestion.
Back in Haiwan City, during graduation season, she had been to a KTV once. It was lively then, surrounded by familiar faces, and everyone had a blast.
"Just the two of us might be a bit dull, don’t you think?"
At this, the two girls exchanged glances and promptly took out their phones to call Hu Yu Ying.
The call connected quickly.
"Wan Ning, what’s up?" Hu Yu Ying asked softly.
"Yu Ying, what are you doing?"
"I'm washing Long Ge's underwear," Hu Yu Ying replied in a low voice. After everything that happened last night, their bond had grown closer, and there was nothing they couldn’t talk about.
Besides, she didn’t feel embarrassed about washing her man’s underwear.
"Stop washing and come out to play with us," Li Qingxue chimed in.
"Aren't you guys tired? Plus, I'm almost done."
"I'll share a location with you in a bit, so hurry over!"
"Okay."
After hanging up, Hu Yu Ying shook the clean underwear and walked into her room to hang it up.
Before long, as the workers arrived, Long Ge came back from outside.
Hu Yu Ying quickly walked up to Long Ao Tian, feeling a bit shy in front of so many workers.
Long Ao Tian took Hu Yu Ying's hand, greeted the foreman, and led her out of the courtyard.
"Long Ge, Wan Ning and Qingxue invited me out to play. You should come too."
"Where to?"
Hu Yu Ying showed Long Ao Tian the location on her phone; it wasn’t far, just near the music academy.
After a moment of thought, she said, "Let me take you there first; I’ll join you later."
"Do you have something else to do, Long Ge? If you do, I can go by myself," Hu Yu Ying was being considerate.
"I just want to go back to school to take a shower and change my clothes." Long Ao Tian glanced at his current appearance and smiled.
He hadn’t cared before, but now he wanted to present his best self beside Hu Yu Ying.
"Long Ge, you look handsome no matter what," Hu Yu Ying said with a bright smile.
"You’re so good with words. Have you been sneaking honey behind my back today?" Long Ao Tian leaned in slightly closer to Hu Yu Ying.
Hu Yu Ying bit her lip, hands behind her back, shyly glancing away. She whispered, "Well, do you want to give it a try?"
Her bright eyes sparkled with mischief, a hint of allure dancing in them, looking at him like a sly little fox, captivating his heart.
He grabbed her slender waist, feeling an impulse to take her right then and there. "Little temptress."
"I’m not a little temptress; I’m Long Ge’s little follower." With a flirtatious glance, Hu Yu Ying seemed like a blend of innocence and desire.
"Ahem... so, are you coming back to stay tonight?"
Hu Yu Ying looked at Long Ge in confusion. "What did you just say?"
"Don’t play dumb; you definitely heard me. Watch out, or I’ll give you a good thump!" Long Ao Tian’s ears turned slightly red; he really had no way to deal with her now.
"But I really didn’t hear you. Long Ge, say it again; I promise I’ll listen this time." Hu Yu Ying blinked innocently, looking as if she genuinely hadn’t heard.
Long Ao Tian glanced around quickly and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Are you coming back tonight?"
"No," Hu Yu Ying suddenly replied. "That’s not what you said just now."
Taking advantage of Long Ao Tian’s moment of surprise, she kept her leaning position and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yu Ying is definitely coming back to stay tonight."
Caught off guard, even with his thick skin, Long Ao Tian’s heart raced uncontrollably.
Just one night, and he felt like Hu Yu Ying had changed so much.
This change was quite evident. It was like before, when he would tell her a risqué joke, she would be confused and flustered, trying her best to go along with it.
But now, not only was she no longer flustered, she could even tease him back. Who could resist that?
Hearing Long Ge’s heartbeat, Hu Yu Ying silently cheered herself on. After a night of cramming, she felt incredibly empowered!
Arriving at the spot Lin Wan Ning had saved for her, Hu Yu Ying couldn’t wait to share her newfound confidence with her friends.
Meanwhile, Long Ao Tian headed toward the school, already determined to teach Hu Yu Ying a lesson tonight.
Back in the dorm, it was unusual for Huang Fei and Li Longlong to be cooped up inside instead of going out.
"Wow, Long Ao, you actually came back?" Li Longlong exclaimed, as if he had spotted a rare species. "You spent one day in the dorm during the seven-day break. Where have you been living it up?"
Long Ao Tian tossed the cigarettes he bought to Li Longlong and sat on the bed to change clothes.
"What’s Huang doing?" he asked, noticing Huang Fei curled up in his blanket.
"Huang’s done for; he’s completely focused on his phone now." Li Longlong lit a cigarette and said, "He’s chatting up Shen Mengjie like crazy..."
"I’m going to take a shower," Long Ao Tian said, grabbing a towel and heading out.
Once the dorm door closed, Huang Fei suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Li Longlong. "Who just went out?"
"Long Ao’s been back for a while. You’re done for; you’ve completely fallen in love..."
"I got too excited earlier; Shen Mengjie agreed to go on a date with me tomorrow. I need to get myself ready."
"But we have to report back to school tomorrow afternoon. What can you do in the morning?"
"You don’t understand; this is what we call pure love!" He picked up a towel to find Long Ao Tian, eager to share the good news...

**Chapter 237: You’re Jealous Over This?**
"Really?"
After hearing Hu Yu Ying’s words, Li Qingxue and Lin Wan Ning couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
The reason for their excitement was that, despite being inexperienced themselves, they could strategize and help Hu Yu Ying charm Long Ao Tian into a daze.
What did this mean?
It meant their plan was working.
"I really want to see Long Ao Tian’s shy face; it must be adorable," Li Qingxue laughed loudly.
After all, Long Ao Tian always acted so mature in front of them.
Hu Yu Ying nodded. "He really is quite cute."
He clearly wanted to stay but was too shy to say it.
Long Ge is just too adorable.
It turns out that even the most mature person can become so innocent when they fall in love.
Hu Yu Ying silently thought to herself how much she liked this side of Long Ge.
"When is he coming over?" Lin Wan Ning asked while selecting songs.
"I don’t know; probably in a bit. Long Ge still needs to shower."
"Shall we start without him?" Lin Wan Ning handed the microphone to Hu Yu Ying and pressed play.
"I can’t sing," Hu Yu Ying said, feeling a bit overwhelmed at being in such a place for the first time, handing the microphone to Li Qingxue.
"Then we’ll sing together; that’s what karaoke is for!" Li Qingxue placed the microphone between them.
They were both there to participate, mainly wanting to hear Lin Wan Ning sing.
As expected, once Lin Wan Ning started singing, the two of them fell silent.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to sing along; it was just that Lin Wan Ning’s voice was so beautiful that adding their off-key notes would ruin the lovely atmosphere.
The song, sung in Lin Wan Ning’s unique voice, transformed the same lyrics into a different emotional experience.
The difference between professional and amateur was starkly evident at that moment.
Hu Yu Ying and Li Qingxue were completely immersed in Lin Wan Ning’s singing.
Unlike usual, the moment Lin Wan Ning picked up the microphone to sing, she seemed to transform, shining brightly, exuding confidence and flair.
Now, Lin Wan Ning resembled a star on television; just standing there, the light seemed to gather around her.
As the song ended, Hu Yu Ying and Li Qingxue immediately burst into applause.
