Chapter 198
She seemed to be clutching all her possessions tightly...
Today was the last day of the holiday, and they had to return to school in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, Long Aotian decided to let the little girl be; after all, it was rare to see her sleeping so soundly.
As his mind gradually calmed and softened, Long Aotian finally got out of bed, pinching Hu Yuying's cheek with a hint of annoyance. "You just won't let go, will you?"
As Long Aotian made his way to the yard, Hu Yuying, who should have still been lost in dreams, quietly opened her eyes, unable to hide the smile in her gaze.
When Long Aotian returned with breakfast, Hu Yuying had already tidied up the room and was sitting obediently in a lounge chair, waiting.
Seeing her favorite breakfast in Long Ge's hands, she felt like the happiest girl in the world.
"Wash your hands; it's time to eat."
"Long Ge, I've already washed my hands! Don't believe me? Smell!" Hu Yuying tiptoed and held her hand up to Long Aotian's nose.
Long Aotian reached out and adjusted the collar of Hu Yuying's shirt.
The kiss marks he had left on her collarbone had become even more pronounced after a night’s rest, now a rosy hue.
"Is this your exclusive mark, Long Ge?" Hu Yuying said, pulling her collar down to show off.
He pinched the soft flesh of her cheek. "Ah Ying, you've changed. The old you would never say such things."
Hu Yuying tilted her little face up, allowing Long Ge to tease her while wrapping her arms around his neck. "The old Long Ge wouldn’t leave marks on me either."
As she spoke, she gently pulled him closer. "Long Ge, I’ve brushed my teeth."
...
[Thank you for all the gifts! Vultures love you, sending hearts and kisses...]
**Chapter 240: A Magical Encounter, The Beginning of Everything**
"Long Ge, your phone is ringing." Hu Yuying jogged over, handing the phone to Long Aotian.
He set the trash can down and glanced at the caller ID.
Then he answered the call. "Hey, Lao Huang, I see the sun hasn’t risen from the west today. Why are you up so early?"
"Lao Ao, no matter what, you have to be back by noon today."
"What's going on?"
"I'll tell you when you get back. You absolutely must come back!" Huang Fei's voice was urgent, a tone he had never used before.
Long Aotian glanced at Hu Yuying.
Since it was on speakerphone, Hu Yuying could hear everything Huang Fei said.
She nodded slightly.
Long Aotian then replied, "Alright, I have something to discuss with you too."
He felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with Huang Fei about Shen Mengjie.
"Long Ge, once school starts, we won’t see each other for a long time." She pouted, clinging to Long Aotian's chest. She had always relied on him, but now that reliance had turned into clinginess.
"I'll video call you every day. When the break comes, we can go home together."
Hearing this, Hu Yuying lifted her little face. "So, does that mean Long Ge will still let me cling to him?"
"Should I give you a smack?"
"Then after you smack me, can you let me cling to you?"
With a loud smack, Hu Yuying's body went soft, a tingling sensation spreading over her as if countless ants were crawling over her.
Covering her backside, her face flushed red, and she instantly became obedient.
Seeing her pitiful, innocent look, Long Aotian felt both amused and exasperated.
He helplessly ruffled her long hair. "What am I going to do with you, huh?"
In the past, she would have been scared if he threatened to smack her.
Now, he didn’t want to smack her, and he didn’t want to say anything either.
He felt like this little girl had him wrapped around her finger.
Before, he was afraid of her crying; he never knew how to handle it.
Now, she didn’t cry anymore, but whenever she acted cute, he always surrendered.
"Long Ge, Ah Ying will be good."
"Right now, you’re just good with your words." He playfully pinched the tip of her nose. "Do you still have room in your eyes for your big brother?"
"Of course! I’m still very good, okay? And you’re my boyfriend now..." Hu Yuying didn’t want to admit she wasn’t being good.
Now she had two great strategists backing her up, and winning Long Ge’s heart was just around the corner. She didn’t want to be passive like before.
It was that passivity that almost cost her Long Ge.
She never wanted to go through that again; she would hold onto him tightly, never letting go.
Loving Long Ge was a feeling deep in her heart, not a calculated decision. It was a love that blossomed with a heartbeat, a steadfast affection—this was Hu Yuying’s greatest sincerity towards her love.
This love brought her joy, transforming her from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Now, Hu Yuying radiated happiness and joy; one could no longer see the gloom and insecurity that once clouded her.
All the misfortunes of her first eighteen years turned into happiness after meeting Long Ge.
So she cherished it; how could she give up halfway? She had to hold onto him tightly...
"Long Ge, if you have things to do, go ahead. I can go back to school by myself later."
The person who called earlier, referred to as Lao Huang by Long Ge, must be a close friend.
Given Lao Huang's urgency, it was likely something important.
"No rush; it’s fine to be a little late." It was still early, and as long as he got back to school before noon, it would be alright.
Besides, he didn’t want to part with the little girl just yet.
It felt like he suddenly had separation anxiety.
Even before they had parted, he was already thinking about when they would meet again, when they would go home and sleep together.
After all, he had already touched all the places he was supposed to, and the places he shouldn’t have touched were all explored by the little girl.
In Long Aotian's heart, no one could be more anxious than he was to be with his girlfriend!
Fate is such a wondrous thing—meeting, knowing, and understanding each other; every little experience is part of life. With Hu Yuying in his life, she had also added him to hers.
It turned out they had been intertwined from the very beginning; wanting to protect her was never just talk.
"Can Long Ge comb my hair one more time?" It made her so happy to have him by her side.
"I’d be more than happy to."
Her long hair fell freely, cascading over her slender waist.
Feeling Long Ge’s gentle hands combing through her hair, Hu Yuying softly said, "In our village, there’s an old custom that a girl’s long hair can only be combed by the one she loves."
"Besides my mom and grandma, Long Ge is the first boy to comb my hair, and he will be the only one."
Her words were soft yet carried an unspoken determination.
Long Aotian’s hands paused slightly; this was a promise from the little girl, a promise to him.
Meeting was a magical arrangement; it was the beginning of everything...
Gently wrapping his arms around Hu Yuying from behind, he said, "What I want to say is, Hu Yuying, from our first meeting to our long-lasting connection, thank you for your unwavering choice..."
Leaning softly against Long Aotian’s embrace, Hu Yuying’s heart and eyes were filled with affection. "I should be the one thanking you, Long Ge. Thank you for giving me so many chances to choose..."

After dropping Hu Yuying off at A University, Long Aotian checked the time and headed towards school.
As soon as he got on the subway, he received a call from Huang Fei.
"I’m already on the subway heading to school."
"Lao Ao, don’t go back to school. Just come directly to Hongfu Restaurant."
"Alright, but before that, I need to tell you something..." Before he could finish, the call dropped due to poor signal.
Putting his phone away, he got off the subway and walked towards Hongfu Restaurant.
From a distance, he spotted Huang Fei, Xu Shuai, and Li Longlong.
"Damn, Lao Ao, you finally made it! I’ve missed you so much!" Xu Shuai opened his arms, ready to give Long Aotian a big hug.
"Have you had enough fun outside?" Long Aotian dodged and patted Xu Shuai on the shoulder with a smile.
"You’re one to talk! I heard from Lao Li that you spent the entire holiday in the dorm. If it weren’t for Lao Huang needing us to back him up today, you probably wouldn’t even come back tonight."
Mentioning Lao Huang reminded Long Aotian that he still had something to tell him.
He turned to Huang Fei and said, "By the way, Lao Huang, there’s something I think you need to be aware of..."
"What is it?" Huang Fei asked while adjusting his hairstyle. "Lao Ao, what do you think of my new look?"
"You’d better have a heads-up about what I’m about to say..."
