**Chapter 252: I Might Have to Put a Hat on Long Aotian**
“Here!”
With that, she flicked her hair.
“Hmm!”
In response, he also flicked his hair, unwilling to be outdone.
With a light laugh, she stepped out of the shadows, her smile radiating confidence.
Seeing such a self-assured smile, Xue Shaohua sighed; he was ultimately at a disadvantage!
In terms of style, he could never surpass her.
Noticing the hint of despondency in Xue Shaohua's eyes, Ye Liangchen's smile widened. Compared to him, Xue Shaohua was still a bit green. He stepped forward and gently patted Xue Shaohua on the shoulder. “Did you find it?”
“Yeah, it’s all on my phone.” At this point, confusion flickered in Xue Shaohua's eyes. “I don’t get why you wanted to meet up for this. I could’ve just sent it to you directly. Why go through all this trouble?”
Hearing this, Ye Liangchen chuckled lightly and flicked his bangs. “Don’t you think it’s cool?”
To be honest, Ye Liangchen was in a great mood today. He had flirted with a beautiful girl who was impressive in looks, figure, and charm. His spirits were soaring.
Xue Shaohua rolled his eyes. His mood wasn’t as bright; the words of Hu Yuying’s rejection still echoed in his ears.
Being rejected wasn’t the issue; he wouldn’t have been interested if there hadn’t been a challenge.
What stung was that Hu Yuying had publicly stated he was no match for Long Aotian, and that had hurt...
“Here you go!”
He handed his phone to Ye Liangchen.
Just as Ye Liangchen was about to take it, Xue Shaohua suddenly pulled it back. “You remember what you promised me, right?”
Ye Liangchen smirked, then flicked his hair again while snapping his fingers. “Of course! But you look like something’s up!”
“Don’t say that! Let me guess!”
“Did you go after Hu Yuying? And got turned down?”
Seeing Xue Shaohua’s face darken at his words, Ye Liangchen knew he had hit the nail on the head.
From what he knew about Xue Shaohua, it wasn’t hard to guess.
Xue Shaohua was a bit like his former self—proud and ambitious.
It didn’t surprise him that he would go after Hu Yuying.
If Hu Yuying had accepted him, that would have been the real surprise.
“I once told you, Hu Yuying’s personality means that once she chooses someone, she won’t easily change her mind.”
“If I hadn’t made a mistake, she would have chosen me!”
At this point, Ye Liangchen’s eyes were filled with melancholy. If only he hadn’t gone to the bathroom that day, he might have stopped that scoundrel Long Aotian from taking Hu Yuying...
He looked up at a forty-five-degree angle and took a deep breath. “I said I would reclaim everything that belongs to me. You’re too impatient!”
“Can I not be impatient?” Xue Shaohua couldn’t help but say. “Hu Yuying’s presence, her every move, every smile, pulls at my emotions...”
Ye Liangchen stepped closer and patted Xue Shaohua’s shoulder. “Alright, I get what you’re trying to say. But in this matter, you should listen to me. I told you I would personally take back everything that was rightfully mine, and that includes Hu Yuying!”
It was clear that Xue Shaohua had already regarded Hu Yuying as his white moonlight—a term for an unattainable love. Ye Liangchen knew all too well how powerful that kind of infatuation could be!
Xue Shaohua handed his phone to Ye Liangchen. “You’re right. Hu Yuying has been taking notes. I secretly snapped these while she was in the bathroom.”
At this, Ye Liangchen’s smile grew wider. He knew all too well—after all, he was a reborn man, someone who had the advantage!
He opened the phone and began to read.
[Color Coordination: You can use monochromatic combinations, such as deep gray and light gray, to create a harmonious visual effect...]
[Style Coordination: Follow the principle of consistency between the upper and lower garments, such as... such as... such as...]
As he read on, Ye Liangchen’s brows furrowed deeper. The more he read, the more perplexed he became. “This is a bit profound, huh?”
He chuckled at himself and continued reading.
[Layering Coordination:...]
[Style Examples:...]
Hiss~ Ye Liangchen inhaled sharply. “Are you sure Hu Yuying has been writing this stuff for days?”
“Of course. I have no reason to lie to you about this.”
Ye Liangchen nodded. He believed Xue Shaohua’s words; there was no need to deceive him about this. So, this content was indeed penned by Hu Yuying.
It felt somewhat familiar, yet there was an indescribable oddness to it.
But since it felt familiar, it might be because he had seen Hu Yuying’s planning documents in his previous life. It was a bit complex, but he could study it slowly. After all, nothing too simple could support Hu Yuying in becoming a business mogul!
He transferred the files to his own phone.
He would take his time to study them. With the experience from two lifetimes, it was just a matter of time!
“Good job! I really need this kind of material. Remember, whatever Hu Yuying writes next, make sure to send it to me promptly.”
“Got it!” Xue Shaohua didn’t think this material was particularly useful and had no idea what Ye Liangchen wanted it for...
After saving the files, Ye Liangchen flicked his hair, his smile radiating confidence.
Xue Shaohua also flicked his bangs, hands in his pockets, and asked, “Why do you seem especially pumped today?”
Ye Liangchen peeked at Xue Shaohua through his bangs, then flicked his hair again. “Want to know? Then I’ll tell you!”
“I might have to put a hat on Long Aotian, and it’s green!”
Hearing this, Xue Shaohua’s eyes widened. He genuinely hadn’t expected Ye Liangchen to dare provoke Long Aotian, and even plan to put a green hat on him!
“Don’t be too shocked. I’ve never lost to anyone in terms of looks. As long as I’m on the same starting line as Long Aotian, he doesn’t even compare to me!”
“So, what did you do?”
Ye Liangchen smiled confidently and casually. “Nothing much. Long Aotian wanted to play hard to get with a girl, but she ended up blushing and losing control around me!”
“He’s not impressive? He’s not charming? Well, I’ll use my own strength and charm to show him that the woman he wants is just a finger snap away from me!”
At this point, a glint of cunning flashed in Ye Liangchen’s eyes, and a plan began to form in his mind.
Not only would he make Long Aotian taste his own medicine, but he would also use Long Aotian’s intimate photos to make Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning completely lose hope in him!
Then, he would seize the opportunity to win them over, one by one!
Don’t think that just because he had them, it would be over. He needed them to chase after him like a funeral pyre for lost love. It had to be a chase, or else all the pain and disdain he had suffered would be for nothing!
“Don’t blame me for being ruthless; after all, you all owe me this!”
**Chapter 253: Winning a Woman’s Heart—I've Never Been Afraid of Anyone**
“Mengjie, this is for you.” Huang Fei handed the breakfast in his hand to Shen Mengjie, smiling as he said, “I thought you’d like this flavor.”
Shen Mengjie looked at Huang Fei and chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with a lively glint. “Thank you.”
As she spoke, she glanced around, spotting Li Longlong and Xu Shuai, who was following Wang Lijuan, before returning her gaze. “I really like it.”
Hearing Shen Mengjie say she liked it, Huang Fei felt an unexpected sense of relief wash over him.
Was it because of her smile?
That seemed to be the case.
She was so genuine in front of him...
Shen Mengjie waved her fingers in front of Huang Fei’s eyes.
He snapped back to reality.
Shen Mengjie laughed lightly. “I told you, staring at girls like that isn’t good. Why do you keep forgetting?”
“Because you’re just that beautiful.”
Caught off guard by his compliment, she lowered her head and smiled silently, exuding a unique charm.
Rolling her eyes playfully, she said, “I’ve noticed you’re getting better at sweet-talking.”
“By the way, isn’t there one more person in your dorm? Why didn’t he come?” Shen Mengjie asked, her tone carrying a hint of barely concealed annoyance.
Huang Fei could easily pick up on her tone. “Lao Ao had something come up, so he couldn’t make it. And, well, I hope you won’t hold it against him...”
No one knew better than him that if Long Aotian didn’t consider him a brother, he would have just treated this as a joke and wouldn’t have risked offending Shen Mengjie by telling him.
Shen Mengjie raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to Huang Fei, her lips curling into a teasing smile. “You don’t know that women can be quite petty and hold grudges?”
