Chapter 203

Long Ao Tian leaned down, his hand gently cradling the back of her head, as he pressed his lips against her soft mouth...

**Chapter 246: Boyfriend, Please Take Good Care of His Little Girl**

As she walked through the campus, every few steps, she couldn't help but smile softly to herself.

Her crescent-shaped eyes sparkled with happiness.

“If we go any further, there’ll be too many people... So you had to kiss me when it was quiet, and you even wanted me to stick out my tongue. You’re so annoying, Long Ge...”

Though she complained, her face was beaming with joy.

Kissing Long Ge was a delightful experience, both physically and emotionally.

With every kiss, the entanglement of their lips and tongues brought about a strange sensation in her body.

This feeling made her body tingle in a peculiar way, evoking an indescribable emotion.

Each time, she found herself lost in it, as if soaring high above the clouds.

“Hu Yu Ying.”

Today, Hu Yu Ying was in a great mood. When she heard someone call her name, she turned around.

But upon seeing who it was, her previously bright mood suddenly dimmed.

Xue Shao Hua sighed softly, tilting his head at a forty-five-degree angle, confidently flipping his hair, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips.

These days, being with Ye Liang Chen, it was clear that when it came to style, Ye Liang Chen was second to none at A University.

In this era of fashion and nonconformity, style symbolized freedom and ease for most people.

Especially with a casual flip of his bangs, it was like the finishing touch.

Xue Shao Hua casually tucked his hands into his pockets, flicked his hair, and slowly approached Hu Yu Ying.

He didn’t say a word, just looked at her with a wounded expression.

Sometimes, a gaze can convey emotions far deeper than words ever could.

With a melancholic look, he flipped his hair again. “Long time no see.”

Hu Yu Ying frowned slightly and turned to leave.

She hadn’t forgotten what Long Ge had said.

Long Ge warned her that Xue Shao Hua wasn’t a good classmate and advised her to stay away from him.

So she would obediently heed Long Ge’s advice.

After all, when it came to Ye Liang Chen, Long Ge had said the same thing, and the outcome was clear.

Seeing Hu Yu Ying’s attitude towards him, Xue Shao Hua finally understood why Ye Liang Chen would gasp and clutch his heart every time.

Because it truly hurt.

“Hu Yu Ying, you’re really exceptional.”

To be honest, those words struck a chord in Hu Yu Ying, but not because of Xue Shao Hua himself.

Long Ge had once said something similar to her.

He had also told her that she was exceptional.

But was she really that exceptional?

Seeing Hu Yu Ying pause at his words, Xue Shao Hua’s eyes lit up, and he hurried to catch up with her.

With utmost seriousness, he said, “Hu Yu Ying, you really are exceptional, which is why you need someone equally exceptional by your side.”

At this point, Xue Shao Hua felt inexplicably nervous.

He straightened his clothes and flashed a bright, boyish smile. “I might not be that exceptional, but I won’t be lacking either.”

“Compared to those who might hold you back in life, I think you need a partner who can walk with you towards success.”

Hu Yu Ying sidestepped Xue Shao Hua. “Thanks, but my life is none of your business.”

“And no one is holding me back; I’ve already found the one who can accompany me for a lifetime.”

As she spoke, a smile of happiness crept onto her lips. “That person is Long Ao Tian, my boyfriend.”

In the past, when Long Ge hadn’t accepted her, she couldn’t say such things; she could only mention that her heart belonged to someone else.

But now, she could confidently tell anyone that her boyfriend was Long Ao Tian, her stroke of luck!

The happiness radiating from Hu Yu Ying pierced Xue Shao Hua’s heart deeply.

Clearly, he was more exceptional than Long Ao Tian, so why couldn’t Hu Yu Ying see him?

What exactly made Long Ao Tian better than him?

“From the moment you entered A University, there’s already a class divide between you and certain people. Your future will definitely not be in some small city.”

“If he truly cared for you, he wouldn’t hold you back; he should let you soar freely!”

“Hu Yu Ying, you’re being too naive. You always see things too one-dimensionally. Can you guarantee you won’t regret this in the future?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yu Ying’s smile widened. Yes, he was so foolish.

He almost let go, handing over all the choices to her.

Fortunately, she had remained steadfast in her decision.

So she replied, “No regrets!”

He was more exceptional than anyone else. This boy who always called himself a roughneck was truly, truly exceptional.

If she didn’t work hard, she wouldn’t even be worthy of him.

“Thank you,” Hu Yu Ying suddenly smiled at Xue Shao Hua.

Xue Shao Hua was momentarily taken aback. When she said those three words, his heart ached intensely.

But now, Hu Yu Ying was smiling and thanking him.

He acted like a flustered, sunny boy, scratching his head and awkwardly laughing, “W-what are you thanking me for?”

“Thank you for helping me understand how great Long Ge is.”

“Xue Shao Hua, I want to say that he is the man I’ve chosen. Even without him, there wouldn’t be a you. So I ask you, please don’t try to overstep with me, because I have a boyfriend now, and his name is Long Ao Tian!”

After saying this, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.

She thought she had made herself clear enough.

With her spirits lifted, her steps felt lighter.

Soon, she returned to the dormitory.

She shared the things she had brought with her three roommates.

With a sense of pride, she said, “My boyfriend asked you all to take good care of his little girl.”

The dormitory instantly filled with laughter.

The gifts weren’t expensive, but receiving them always brought joy, naturally fostering goodwill among friends.

“Your boyfriend is really great.”

“Do you have a picture of him? Let us see!”

“Okay, I admit I’ve been won over by your boyfriend. I’ll treat you well from now on...”

Hearing them praise her Long Ge, Hu Yu Ying nodded vigorously. “Yes, Long Ge is really wonderful.”

The innocent girl always wanted everyone to know that her man was truly amazing.

...

Stepping out of the dormitory, she spotted someone sitting in the corridor.

Li Qing Xue hurried over. “You actually remembered to contact me! I thought you’d forgotten about me.”

Hu Yu Ying smiled gently, taking Li Qing Xue’s hand and affectionately saying, “Don’t say that! How could I ever forget you?”

Pure friendship can sometimes be more enviable than love.

“Ding ding ding~” Hu Yu Ying pulled out the cake, desserts, and milk tea. “Long Ge asked me to bring these for you.”

“Hmph! Then I’ll forgive him for hogging you for so many days!”

The envy in her eyes was masked by the smile on her face...

**Chapter 247: A Pair of Silver Bracelets**

As the holiday ended, everything returned to normal.

University life wasn’t as hectic as senior year in high school.

Long Ao Tian had plenty of time; he attended classes and, during breaks, checked on the progress of his courtyard.

Occasionally, he would video call Hu Yu Ying to share updates and dream about room arrangements.

Every time this happened, Hu Yu Ying felt as happy as a child who had just received candy.

All it took was one sentence from Long Ao Tian: “How should we decorate our home?”

It seemed everything was heading in a positive direction.

After the holiday, the weather gradually began to cool.

When Long Ao Tian was selling clothes, he had made connections with people at Yi Niao and the factory, as he frequently ordered stock. He shared his plans to open three online stores, paid some deposits, and ordered a few different styles of autumn clothing.

At A University, Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue were strolling on the playground near the girls’ dormitory, discussing topics only women would talk about.

Just then, a video call interrupted their conversation.

Hu Yu Ying took out her phone and, seeing who was calling, her beautiful eyes formed crescent moons. “It’s Long Ge.”

She clicked to answer.

Long Ao Tian’s voice came through. “A Ying, bring that silly girl Qing Xue along. Come home for a bit.”

Before Hu Yu Ying could respond, Li Qing Xue chimed in, “You’re the silly one! Do you want me to step on your foot again?”

“Ouch, haha! You’re here too! You’re not silly, you’re not silly. Come over later; I’ve prepared a surprise for you!”

Upon hearing the word “surprise,” Li Qing Xue, who was usually easy to please, instantly forgave Long Ao Tian, no matter what he had done.
