Chapter 207
As she spoke, a wider smile crept onto her lips. “Perhaps every day from now on, I’ll find joy in this one minute!”
“Sometimes being awake is a kind of insight!” That was something Long Aotian had just said, but for some reason, Shen Mengjie remembered it vividly.
She then applied this phrase to Ye Liangchen, and surprisingly, it fit quite well.
Suddenly, Shen Mengjie seemed to have an epiphany and couldn’t help but stomp her foot.
Was it possible that she appeared the same way in Long Aotian’s eyes, which is why he said that to her?
She lifted her gaze and scrutinized Ye Liangchen closely, a flicker of irritation rising in her heart.
Watching Shen Mengjie’s swift departure, Ye Liangchen smiled, a confident grin.
“Is she shy? Youth really does have its charm!”
Ever since that day when Long Aotian had given him a good thrashing, Ye Liangchen had been harboring resentment.
He had spent the past few days preparing some lyrics, knowing how passionate Lin Wanning was about music.
He thought that perhaps these lyrics could help ease the misunderstanding between him and Lin Wanning.
He imagined that if Lin Wanning could see his talent, who knows...
But to his dismay, that scoundrel Long Aotian had been sticking to Lin Wanning like a leech, preventing him from giving her the lyrics.
He had thought today would be a lost cause.
Then he saw Long Aotian, that jerk, daring to flirt with a beautiful girl right in front of him. It was as if he didn’t even consider Ye Liangchen a threat.
So, after Long Aotian left, he made his move, appearing like a hero beside the beauty, saving her from being deceived by Long Aotian.
“Well, she really is quite stunning, even better than I imagined.”
“Long Aotian, since you dared to hit me, don’t blame me for stealing your girl!”
The way she shyly walked away indicated that everything was still going well!

Chapter 251: Are We Digging a Hole?
Fuming, Shen Mengjie returned to the dormitory.
Wang Lijuan looked at her curiously and asked, “Is it windy outside?”
“Nope,” Shen Mengjie replied.
“Oh.” Wang Lijuan nodded, but her gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Mengjie’s tightly wrapped chest.
This was definitely not in line with Shen Mengjie’s usual style.
Noticing Wang Lijuan’s stare, Shen Mengjie glanced down at her collar.
Irritated, she tugged it open.
Her long, fair neck and delicate collarbone were suddenly exposed.
In this state, Shen Mengjie’s charm skyrocketed.
Wang Lijuan smiled lightly; this was the familiar Shen Mengjie she knew.
Shen Mengjie playfully tickled Wang Lijuan before heading to her own bed.
Her bed was directly across from Han Xiaojing’s.
At that moment, she noticed Han Xiaojing typing on her phone, then deleting.
Curious, she approached Han Xiaojing, sitting on the edge of her bed and softly asking, “Thinking about what to say to Long Aotian?”
Han Xiaojing instinctively turned off her phone screen when she saw Shen Mengjie sitting on her bed.
But upon hearing her question, she felt a moment of awkwardness!
Seeing Han Xiaojing’s reaction, Shen Mengjie understood immediately.
With a sigh, she gently wrapped her arm around Han Xiaojing and said softly, “He already has a girlfriend.”
After saying this, she rested Han Xiaojing’s head on her shoulder.
Shen Mengjie’s personal matters weren’t exactly kind.
But one thing was undeniable: she treated her sisters well.
Especially since they were in the same dorm, their bond was even closer.
To Shen Mengjie’s surprise, Han Xiaojing merely stared blankly for a moment before offering a faint smile.
“Do you think I’d be heartbroken?” Han Xiaojing asked, looking at Shen Mengjie with a hint of curiosity.
Before Shen Mengjie could respond, Han Xiaojing continued, “Honestly, I’m not surprised that Long Aotian has a girlfriend.”
“It’s just that before I could confess, it was already over, so I feel a bit lost.”
Though Han Xiaojing was somewhat delicate, she was also quite clear-headed and rational.
Why did she have feelings for Long Aotian? It was because he was exceptional, truly remarkable.
If she was attracted to him, surely other girls would be too. Just because she liked him didn’t mean he couldn’t have a girlfriend, right?
And she certainly couldn’t wallow in despair just because he was taken.
In this regard, Han Xiaojing had a more open mindset, though she couldn’t help but fantasize: if only she had been brave enough to express her feelings to Long Aotian earlier, would things have turned out differently?
Seeing that Han Xiaojing seemed genuinely okay, Shen Mengjie slowly stood up, stretching lazily.
Her figure was beautiful, and she knew how to use her advantages.
Han Xiaojing took a deep breath, reopened her phone, and exited the chat with Long Aotian.
What’s meant to be will be; what’s not meant to be cannot be forced.
“You really need to change your ways. If I were you, I’d have made a move on someone I liked long ago. You’re just too indecisive, always worrying about whether it’s right or wrong. Who cares? What you can grasp is what’s yours!”
Hearing this, Han Xiaojing, though reluctant to admit it, knew it was true.
Her nature was too quiet, and she often hesitated in the face of certain situations.
This was similar to how Hu Yuying used to be, but Han Xiaojing was undoubtedly luckier, having a loving family and good friends.
“I think that guy Li Longlong from Long Aotian’s dorm isn’t too bad…”
Before Shen Mengjie could finish her sentence, Han Xiaojing interrupted, “What are you talking about, Mengjie?”
Han Xiaojing didn’t feel anything for Li Longlong.
This was evident from their conversations.
Moreover, their college life had just begun; over the next four years, there would be many changes and more growth.
In short, the future was full of possibilities...
“Hmph, that Long Aotian dared to look at me like that; I won’t let him off easily!”
Han Xiaojing turned to Shen Mengjie and asked quietly, “What... happened with him?”
Shen Mengjie recounted the events to Han Xiaojing.
“I saw him with a girl, so I went up to ask if she was his girlfriend…”
“Was she pretty?”
Shen Mengjie paused, reluctantly pouting, “As much as I hate to admit it, that girl is indeed beautiful.”
Shaking her head, she added, “Anyway, I’ll find a chance to show Long Aotian what I’m made of.”
“Maybe you should let it go; he’s actually a decent guy.”
“No way! Otherwise, I won’t feel right.” Shen Mengjie knew this wasn’t good and understood that Long Aotian’s words were for her own good...
But it seemed that this was the only excuse she had to get closer to him...
“Achoo!” In dorm 147, Long Aotian sneezed and rubbed his nose.
“Hey, Aotian, you’re not coming down with a cold, are you?”
“Nonsense! It’s definitely because my little girl is missing me!”
Li Longlong stood up and looked at Long Aotian’s bed. “By the way, we haven’t met your girlfriend yet. When are you going to arrange for us to meet her?”
Huang Fei and Xu Shuai perked up at this, clearly interested in the prospect of some fun.
“Let me guess, is it those two pretty girls who came to find you last time?” Huang Fei ventured.
Seeing that Long Aotian didn’t refute, Xu Shuai chimed in, “Is it the one with the particularly charming smile? The one with slightly shorter hair, looking all delicate?”
“I think it’s that sweet, shy girl. The way she looks at you is so gentle; her eyes practically stick to you,” Huang Fei speculated.
“Could it be the cool beauty from the neighboring college? That aloof yet stunning face only softens when she’s around you. I can’t believe there’s nothing going on there!” Li Longlong asserted.
Long Aotian coughed, feeling a bit speechless. What on earth were they talking about?
The short-haired girl was clearly an enemy, and the cool beauty was his sister...
“If my little girl is willing, I’ll organize a gathering one of these days and bring you three along to meet her…”
“Goodnight, brothers and sisters.”
