Chapter 205
She wore a light, flowing dress, its hem dancing gently with her steps, like petals twirling in the wind. The overall look perfectly showcased her unique sense of style.
Elegant and refined, untouched by the dust of the world, yet the tear mole at the corner of her eye added an air of mysterious aloofness, reminiscent of the morning dew at dawn—pure, yet hinting at a subtle chill.
When she met her brother's smiling gaze, her light laughter fell like feathers, both enchanting and cool, softly penetrating the hearts of those around her.
Before her stood a black, fitted dress, the color chosen by Long Ao Tian for Hu Yu Ying.
Today, she exuded a touch of innocence mixed with a hint of allure.
He always felt that Hu Yu Ying should own a little black dress, for black conceals what should remain hidden while perfectly revealing the essence of one’s charm.
In that moment, it was as if he caught a fleeting glimpse of that strong girl who never bowed to fate. She wore a story as she walked through the corridor of time, coming closer to him...
After the first time, everything that followed seemed to flow naturally.
Every photo taken was a precious memory of this lifetime.
Night quietly descended.
Long Ao Tian set up a large pot that hadn’t been used in ages.
The three little ones went out to buy ingredients, preparing for tonight’s dinner.
Dressed in beautiful clothes, their presence turned heads as they walked down the street, leaving people in awe.
The three of them whispered excitedly; no girl can resist the allure of beauty. Those who claim they don’t love it are simply lying.
“Does Long Ao Tian mean we can upload the link and start our online store journey?” Li Qing Xue asked softly.
Initially, she thought starting a business would be fun, but she still felt a bit clueless.
“Yeah,” Hu Yu Ying nodded, a smile playing on her lips, recalling how Long Ge had been captivated by her today. “Shall we discuss it when we get back?”
“Our academy is preparing for a gala. If I can secure a good ranking, I can promote us,” Lin Wan Ning added, her heart racing with excitement.
“Long Ao Tian has arranged everything for us,” Li Qing Xue whispered.
“Why don’t we learn to cook? We can take turns making delicious meals for our brother,” Lin Wan Ning suggested.
This idea lit up Li Qing Xue’s eyes. “Right! Long Ao Tian has helped us so much; we must take good care of him.”
“Ahem!”
In the next moment, both little ones turned to Hu Yu Ying.
Hu Yu Ying smiled lightly, her lips pressed together. “Are you waiting for me to speak?”
The two nodded eagerly.
Pretending to think for a moment, she finally said, “Alright then!”
Hearing Hu Yu Ying agree, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning burst into laughter.
Hu Yu Ying walked in the middle, with Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning holding her hands on either side.
“We need to buy some chicken thighs and a bit of noodles.”
When it came to cooking, no one understood Long Ge’s preferences better than she did.
Long Ge loved noodles. Back in Haiwan City, he had mentioned that if he didn’t eat noodles for a day, he always felt unsatisfied.
Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning silently noted this.
Upon returning to the courtyard.
Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning, eager to learn how to cook, followed Hu Yu Ying closely, watching her stir-fry and add seasonings.
Long Ao Tian lounged in a chair, watching the enthusiastic Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning, and couldn’t help but tease, “What happened to you two? You’ve turned into little shadows!”
“Brother!” Lin Wan Ning stomped her foot, refusing to be called a shadow.
“Long Ao Tian, do you still want to eat later?” Li Qing Xue shot him a glare.
When it came to caring, she was genuinely concerned.
But during casual moments, they still bickered; otherwise, no one could keep this arrogant guy in check!
Hu Yu Ying was gentle, the most obedient of them all.
After all, Lin Wan Ning called him brother, sibling hierarchy!
Thinking of this, Li Qing Xue felt her responsibilities were far from over...
**Chapter 249: We Haven't Had a Snack Yet**
Dinner was ready.
The four gathered around, eating and chatting.
Most of the conversation revolved around their online store.
Under the warm glow of a single lamp, the atmosphere felt like home, relaxed and comfortable.
“I’ll send the photos we took today to your phones. We can upload these images to the online store.”
“If possible, you can also shoot some dynamic content for better promotion,” Long Ao Tian suggested.
The three little ones immediately agreed.
They decided to take more dynamic shots during the holidays to post.
Excitement filled their hearts for what tomorrow would bring.
“Eat more; you can’t get by on so little.”
“No way!”
This time, the three little ones were not obedient.
Even Hu Yu Ying, like Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning, shook her head with a smile at Long Ao Tian.
They needed to wear beautiful clothes tomorrow, so they didn’t want to eat too much.
Especially Li Qing Xue, who had been made to feel bloated by this food monster last time; she was determined not to let it happen again!
“Just eat yourself. We want to look good tomorrow; you can deal with your own weight gain!”
“Yeah, brother, even the best figure can’t withstand your appetite. Just let us off today.”
Hu Yu Ying didn’t speak, but the innocence in her eyes was enough to evoke affection.
Long Ao Tian chuckled, “I just want you to be full. Why do I feel like the villain forcing you into something?”
“There’s an old saying: there’s a kind of hunger that comes from grandma thinking you’re hungry. You’re just like a grandma now...” Li Qing Xue shot him a glare.
Everyone burst into laughter at her words.
There’s a kind of eating that comes from Long Ao Tian thinking you haven’t eaten enough...
Seeing Long Ao Tian enjoying his meal, the three little ones returned to their room to tidy up.
Clothes were strewn across the bed.
As they cleaned up, they discussed what to wear tomorrow.
There were so many outfits that they didn’t know which one to choose.
All of these were gifts from Long Ao Tian, and they were more than a little happy.
After finishing washing the pot, Long Ao Tian leaned against the doorframe, watching the three little ones’ excited expressions, and couldn’t help but be infected by their joy. “It’s getting late; come back tomorrow. You all have the keys.”
With clothes scattered all over the bed, Long Ao Tian didn’t think about keeping Hu Yu Ying here for the night.
On the way back to school with the three little ones.
Hu Yu Ying glanced ahead and deliberately slowed her pace.
Li Qing Xue, sharp as ever, noticed and couldn’t help but chuckle, rolling her eyes at Hu Yu Ying. “I have things to do, so I’ll head off first.”
Hearing this, Hu Yu Ying looked up at Li Qing Xue and smiled, “Okay.”
Watching Li Qing Xue walk away, Long Ao Tian found the scene amusing but said nothing.
The two continued walking for a while.
Hu Yu Ying bit her lip, looking up at Long Ge, her expression hesitant.
Long Ao Tian couldn’t possibly miss that; he just wanted to tease the little girl, so he pretended not to notice.
Soon, she gently tugged at the hem of his shirt.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, puzzled.
Seeing this, Hu Yu Ying’s gaze darted away. She looked up at Long Ge, but he remained silent.
So she whispered, “There are more people ahead.”
Long Ao Tian suppressed a laugh. “So?”
Hu Yu Ying held onto his shirt tightly, her cheeks flushing, stammering.
She was so cute that Long Ao Tian wanted to carefully cup her little face and ask how she could be so adorable.
Seeing Long Ge continue to walk ahead, Hu Yu Ying tugged at his shirt again, not letting him go. “Um, we haven’t had a snack yet today.”
Her voice was soft, and her face turned even redder after speaking.
When she didn’t receive a response from Long Ge, she looked up at him, only to find him smiling gently at her.
Realizing this, she pouted and lightly pinched his waist, annoyed. “Long Ge, you’re doing this on purpose.”
Not giving the little girl a chance to sulk, he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to her forehead, then her nose, and finally her lips, exploring softly, patiently waiting for her response.
Feeling the gentle caress of his lips, the tender sensation made her body react faster than her mind, gradually melting into his touch.
The sweet, shy thrill of a girl spread through her, making her tremble, instinctively wrapping her arms around his waist, momentarily lost in the moment, naturally responding to all his intimate gestures.
