"Alright then, I’ll go just this once."
"Look at that grin, your mouth's practically reaching your ears..."
"No way! Say that again if you dare!" She immediately switched back to her defiant self.
"Scared of you now. See you at home later."
"Okay, Long Ge, see you at home."
"Oh come on, is it really necessary to make yourself shy like this..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Hu Yuying quickly hung up the video call and reached out to tickle Li Qingxue: "Not at all..."
"Look at you, your face is all red, and you still say no."
"Yuying, you can't keep being shy like this."
Hu Yuying gently touched her own little face: "It's not like that... I only blush when I'm around Long Ge. I want to control it, but I just can't help it."
If Long Aotian had heard this, he would have gently tapped his fingertip on Hu Yuying's smooth forehead.
Physical attraction is domineering, pure, and requires no extra words.
There's a saying that goes: "If your face turns red, you've already won over a sea of monologues..."
...
"Ge."
Just as she stepped out of the school gate, she heard Lin Wanning's voice calling out.
The reason was simple; Wanning's voice was truly unique, full of charm and easily recognizable.
"I came right over after I got your message." She approached Long Aotian, waving her phone in triumph.
In front of Long Aotian, she really did seem like a little sister in need of support, her cool and beautiful face resembling melting ice and snow, delicate yet tinged with a hint of attachment.
"Let’s head back first; Yuying and Qingxue will be here soon."
He had just received a message on his phone, and the delivery had already arrived, waiting at the corner store.
Long Aotian loved seeing the look of surprise on Hu Yuying's face. Just thinking about how Yuying would react later made the corners of his mouth curve up even more.
Back at the courtyard, Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue had yet to arrive.
"Wanning, you go home first. I need to grab something."
"Okay." Lin Wanning had the keys and went ahead to open the door.
At the store, he often bought water and cigarettes for the workers, so he was quite familiar with the owner.
"Hey, I’m here to pick up a package."
"Oh, Xiaotian! The package is right here. Three big bags, quite a lot! What did you buy?"
"Just some clothes."
As he spoke, he found three large black packages, along with a smaller one.
Long Aotian thought the smaller one was a gift, but when he checked the order information, he saw that the phone number was Lin Wanning's.
So he took everything back with him.
He placed the items in the courtyard.
Lin Wanning looked at the three large bags in surprise and asked, "Long Ge, what did you buy?"
Seeing the astonished expression on Lin Wanning's face, Long Aotian felt a deep sense of satisfaction: "You’ll find out soon enough."
Watching her brother act so mysteriously, Lin Wanning chuckled lightly: "I’ll go check if Yuying and Qingxue have arrived."
With that, she headed out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Long Aotian began to unpack the delivery.
The three large bags were each tailored to match the dressing styles of Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning.
In his previous life, Long Aotian had seen countless fashion combinations, and in this era, his aesthetic sense was undoubtedly ahead of its time.
As he unwrapped, he accidentally opened Lin Wanning's package as well.
Outside, Lin Wanning had initially thought about calling Qingxue to ask where they were.
She took out her phone and saw a notification.
It showed that the package had already been picked up.
The message had come just a few minutes ago.
Lin Wanning returned to the courtyard, her mind filled with the image of Long Ge bringing back the piled-up packages!
A hint of panic crossed her exquisite and beautiful face, and she quickly ran towards the courtyard.
Then she saw her brother, deep in thought, holding a pair of silver handcuffs, staring at the sun.
The sunlight reflected off the silver cuffs, casting a delicate and beautiful glow...
Lin Wanning's heart raced, and she forced herself to stay calm as she stepped forward and took the silver handcuffs from Long Aotian, hiding them behind her back.
"Ge, how could you open my package?"
Long Aotian frowned and asked, "What do you need this for?"
Seeing her brother frown, Lin Wanning instinctively wanted to smooth his brow and softly explained, "Our academy is preparing for a gala, and I’m playing a female cop. This is my prop."
"Oh." Upon hearing this explanation, Long Aotian relaxed his frown and even smiled: "I’ll come cheer you on then."
"Mm-hmm." Lin Wanning smiled brightly, relieved that her brother was easy to fool.
"Ge, what’s in that package?" Now feeling more at ease, Lin Wanning pointed at the black package, trying to divert her brother's attention.
Just then, the sound of the front door opening reached them.
"Long Aotian, where’s my surprise?" It was Qingxue's voice.
"Long Ge." She jogged over, standing sweetly in front of Long Aotian, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Long Aotian gently pinched the soft flesh of Hu Yuying's cheek: "This is the surprise I prepared for you."
"This is clothes?"
"Thirty pieces each!"
As soon as he said this, the look of surprise on the three girls' faces completely satisfied Long Aotian's amusement.
Lin Wanning had actually seen that it was clothes, but thirty pieces each was still quite shocking to her...
【Thanks for the gifts, love you all, sending a big heart...】

Chapter 248: Are You Waiting for Me to Speak?
Seeing the three girls' astonished and happy expressions, Long Aotian felt an immense sense of fulfillment.
He carried the three packages into the room and waved his hand grandly: "Go try them on! This is your first step to making your mark."
The three girls immediately headed into the room.
The last one to enter, Hu Yuying, tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on Long Aotian's cheek.
Just as Long Aotian was about to return the kiss, Hu Yuying playfully pressed her finger against his lips: "Long Ge, Qingxue and Wanning are here. Save the kisses for later tonight."
With a mischievous smile, she slipped into the room.
Long Aotian touched his lips, watching as the three girls closed the door behind them.
He promptly moved a lounge chair to the center of the courtyard and settled in, waiting quietly.
The courtyard was quite spacious, especially after getting rid of some unnecessary small rooms. The entire yard could easily serve as a small parking lot.
Doing some simple filming here would be no problem at all.
And there was that park from last time, along with the small paths within the school.
As autumn leaves fell, the natural scenery was perfect.
This was the first step for the three girls, and it was the most important one.
Using themselves as models, they would wear different outfits, take photos, and upload them to their online store.
Their youthful beauty was the best advertisement.
Soon, the door opened.
Voices from inside reached Long Aotian.
"You go out first; you’re Long Aotian’s girlfriend."
"No way! I’m a bit shy; you go first. Wanning is still Long Ge’s god-sister."
"How about this? Let’s stick to the old rule: rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses goes out first."
Hearing this, Long Aotian couldn’t help but chuckle, though he understood the girls' feelings.
Wearing pretty clothes for a man could make anyone feel a bit nervous and shy.
Before long, the sounds of rock-paper-scissors faded away.
Long Aotian sat up straight, staring at the room, wondering who would come out first. It felt like opening a mystery box, and he was a bit excited.
Soon, the first girl stepped out.
She wore a pristine white sweater and blue jeans, topped off with a playful black hat. She embodied the hazy brightness of youthful love, her smile radiant like the sun in spring, gathering all the beauty of the world.
"How do I look?" Li Qingxue felt Long Aotian's gaze on her and suddenly became a bit nervous, lowering her eyes and asking with a hint of insecurity.
"You look great."
Upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, embodying the beauty of youth that made it impossible not to be drawn in by her smile.
Long Aotian captured that moment with his camera as her smile blossomed.
As Li Qingxue finished, the curtain at the window slowly fell.
The second little one stepped out.
