Chapter 206

The world seemed to quiet down at that moment, and in his eyes, there was only her emotion, her softness, and her sweetness.

His hand gradually became restless, sliding up her delicate waist until the sensitive girl couldn’t help but let out a muffled sound of embarrassment.

The flush on her cheeks revealed just how deeply she was stirred. Finally, she mustered her courage, stood on her tiptoes, and gave a gentle kiss on Long Ge's Adam's apple.

Hu Yuying, who had taken advantage of the moment, smiled happily, looking as proud as a little fox.

Love is a willing heart; love is finding the right person and being ready to do anything for them.

Hu Yuying had liked Long Aotian for a long, long time.

She liked this big brother who always said he would hit himself but had never actually done it.

She liked this brother who helped her regain her confidence and helped her change.

She liked this rough man, Long Aotian, who treated her well without asking for anything in return.

What should she do? She really liked him so much.

In that fleeting moment of passion, Long Aotian saw a deep attachment in Hu Yuying's eyes.

He knew he was completely captivated by her for this lifetime.

...

Seeing Hu Yuying with her head down and a smile on her face, walking lightly, Li Qingxue approached with a hint of annoyance: “You’ve forgotten your friends for a pretty face.”

Hearing the voice, Hu Yuying looked up: “Qingxue!”

Li Qingxue stared at Hu Yuying in surprise, then blinked.

Noticing Li Qingxue's gaze, Hu Yuying curiously touched her own cheek and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Qingxue? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“How long did you kiss Long Aotian?”

Hu Yuying felt utterly embarrassed; Qingxue was being way too direct...

She instinctively wanted to deny it.

But it seemed Qingxue already anticipated her evasion and pulled out a small mirror to show her.

In the mirror, Hu Yuying’s face was flushed, charming and alluring.

Her fingers gently brushed over her slightly swollen lips, and she quickly lowered her head to cover her face with her palm.

The sensation of Long Ge kissing her lips flooded her mind, making her feel shy all over again.

Seeing Hu Yuying’s willing expression, Li Qingxue didn’t know what to say anymore.

He’s just so good, simply because he’s so good...

【Please give a five-star review, love you all.】

**Chapter 250: A One-Minute Friend**

Back at the subway station entrance.

From a distance, Lin Wanning spotted Long Aotian approaching. She walked up to him, saying, “Ge.”

“Let’s go, it’s time for us to head back.”

Lin Wanning didn’t move but stared at Long Aotian’s neck.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Wanning raised her hand to adjust Long Aotian’s collar, covering the red mark on his Adam's apple.

It wouldn’t be good if someone saw it.

Once on the subway, there weren’t many people at this hour.

Lin Wanning softly said, “Thank you.”

“You never have to say thank you in front of me.”

Hearing this, Lin Wanning slowly leaned closer to Long Aotian, finally resting her head on his shoulder: “Ge, can I borrow your shoulder for a bit?”

Noticing Long Aotian’s slight frown and his body gradually stiffening, Lin Wanning whispered, “Just for a moment, Ge.”

After saying that, a faint smile appeared on her lips as she glanced at Long Aotian: “Ge, why are you always so good?”

At her words, Long Aotian’s furrowed brow relaxed a little: “Should I be a bit worse then?”

Lin Wanning wanted to say, “Sure, it’d be better if you had less of a moral compass; wouldn’t that make it easier for a sister to become a sister...”

But Lin Wanning knew he wouldn’t. His path in life was one of sincerity.

Even if he were to become a bad person, he would still be a bad person with a strong sense of morality.

“I believe that relationships between people rely on a sincere heart and genuine feelings.”

“If we treat our friends and family with sincerity, the world will treat us gently in return.”

Lin Wanning softly said, “That’s wonderful; Ge is finally no longer lonely.”

Long Aotian smiled: “So you see, life isn’t just one direction. You can grow freely; lift your head to see the future. The mountains are high and the waters long. Don’t be afraid of being late; it’s not a big deal. Everything is just right.”

Lin Wanning nodded: “Even if I fall into darkness, Ge will pull me out.”

“So it’s not a big deal; everything is just right.”

Time, oh time, can you slow down a bit? Let me enjoy this stolen moment a little longer.

But alas, time doesn’t change for anyone.

As the train arrived at the station, Lin Wanning took a deep breath and slowly sat up: “Ge, we’ve arrived.”

At the entrance of the music academy.

Long Aotian turned to Lin Wanning: “Go back now, take your time on the way, and text me when you get to the dorm.”

“Okay, Ge, I’m leaving.”

Watching Lin Wanning’s figure gradually disappear into the crowd.

Just as Long Aotian was about to leave...

“Is she your girlfriend?”

Shen Mengjie, holding a lollipop, looked at Long Aotian with interest.

She considered herself quite attractive, but even she was momentarily taken aback by Lin Wanning’s beauty.

But it was just a moment; after all, she was also quite good-looking.

“It’s none of your business.” Knowing Huang Fei’s intentions, Long Aotian didn’t want to make things awkward; it simply wasn’t necessary.

“Hey, Long Aotian, I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?” Shen Mengjie walked up to Long Aotian with a smile.

“No.”

“Then can’t you be a little kinder to me? I’m a girl after all.”

“Come on, when I saw you blowing into a bottle, I didn’t hear you say you were a girl.”

Shen Mengjie burst out laughing: “That’s different.”

“What’s different?”

“They are them, and you are Long Aotian.”

“Oh, I should thank you for thinking so highly of me.”

Her teasing tone made Shen Mengjie feel a mix of annoyance and amusement. She closed her eyes, exhaled, and bit down on her lollipop.

“Can’t you stop looking at me with those judgmental eyes?”

Hearing this, Long Aotian stopped in his tracks.

Seeing him halt, Shen Mengjie couldn’t help but smile smugly.

But when she saw Long Aotian’s serious expression, her heart sank for a moment.

Usually, Long Aotian wore a smile, giving off a friendly and reliable vibe.

But his sudden seriousness exuded a maturity beyond his years.

“Loving to play is human nature; knowing when to rein it in is a skill.”

“Just like sweet words can be hypocritical, harsh words can be realistic. Sometimes, being clear-headed is a form of wisdom.”

“Temporary pleasures can lead to countless withdrawal symptoms; borrowed happiness requires many times the disappointment to repay.”

Listening to these words, Shen Mengjie was momentarily taken aback: “You... you’re saying this...”

“I’m saying this to remind you to dress more modestly.” Long Aotian adjusted her collar a bit tighter.

After doing all this, he turned to leave.

This time, Shen Mengjie didn’t follow him.

She just watched Long Aotian’s retreating figure, then looked down at her now snug collar.

“The world is too terrible, and life is too bitter; what’s wrong with a little sweetness now and then!”

Shen Mengjie turned her head toward the source of the voice.

She saw a young man with his hands in his pockets, a confident smile on his face, flipping his hair as he walked over.

The boy shot a sharp glance at Long Aotian’s departing figure, then his confident smile widened as he turned to Shen Mengjie: “Some people don’t understand anything but always act like they have your best interests at heart. Those are the most disgusting kinds of people. Don’t you think I’m right?”

As he spoke, he flipped his hair again, his confident gaze fixed on Shen Mengjie without blinking.

“Hi, I’m Liang Chen, as in Ye Liangchen!”

---

Looking at the boy in front of her, Shen Mengjie let out a slow breath. The air she exhaled, flavored with the crushed lollipop, carried a hint of sweetness.

Liang Chen took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, finally breaking into a grin: “Sorry for inhaling the air that a beauty just exhaled without permission.”

His antics genuinely amused Shen Mengjie.

She looked at him with interest: “Do you think you’re handsome?”

Liang Chen smiled confidently, then lightly flipped his bangs: “Maybe, I still have a bit of confidence in my looks.”

Saying this, Liang Chen took out his phone to check the time: “Just a minute has passed; now we’re officially one-minute friends!”
