Chapter 212
Online shopping is destined to become one of the mainstream trends in this world.
In the future, they will surely be grateful that today, they bravely made this decision.
Among the trio, Hu Yuying took a deep breath. She had been by Long Ge's side the longest, and together they had experienced countless beautiful memories worth reminiscing.
Long Ge had taught her many useful things. He had set the stage, and if she still lacked the courage to take that step, it would truly be a shame.

The little sidekick had grown up—this was a phrase she had whispered to Long Ge more than once.
So now, she had to prove herself to her Long Ge.

At the moment she hit publish, it felt as if all her worries had vanished.
With Hu Yuying leading the way, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning also clicked to publish.
Beautiful girls often receive special treatment, especially those who are particularly pretty.
Coincidentally, the three of them each had their own unique charm.
Soon, someone in the group chat began to chime in.
At the same time, their online store was bustling with activity.
Suddenly, Hu Yuying raised her hand to cover her mouth, her face filled with disbelief: “Someone placed an order!”
The excitement in her voice was a mix of joy and overwhelming emotions.
The first time is always approached with such seriousness and care.
“Long Aotian, can you check if someone ordered this one too?”
“Bro, what about this one of mine...”
Seeing Long Aotian nod, the trio couldn’t contain their joy.
Li Qingxue jumped up suddenly, bursting into laughter, her shoulders shaking with excitement.
Lin Wanning, with her more reserved nature, couldn’t match Li Qingxue’s exuberance. She held back a smile, her eyes crescent-shaped, yet the joy still overflowed from her beautiful gaze.
Hu Yuying rushed to Long Aotian’s side, grasping his hand and shaking it with excitement, wanting to express her joy but momentarily lost for words.
Long Aotian smiled, sensing her happiness. He gently tucked her stray hair behind her ear and leaned closer, his soft voice tinged with warmth: “Great job.”
[Thanks for the support and gifts, and for always being there. Love you all!]

Chapter 257: Why? Why Not?
“Yo, yo, yo, great job~~”
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning mimicked Long Aotian’s tone in a playful manner.
Hu Yuying raised her hand to grab at their waists: “Stop it! Don’t imitate Long Ge!”
“Stop it~~ Don’t imitate Long Ge...” The thrill of selling something on their first day of opening an online store filled their hearts with joy, leading to their playful banter.
Long Aotian watched the trio’s playful antics and couldn’t help but smile.
He shut down the computer and led the three girls out of the internet café.
“The air outside is so fresh.” Li Qingxue couldn’t help but take a deep breath as soon as they stepped out.
Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning didn’t say anything, but their expressions were noticeably lighter.
However, the three of them were still mostly focused on their phones.
They occasionally discussed something among themselves.
Long Aotian understood that this was their first taste of the sweet fruits of their labor, so he didn’t interrupt.
He quietly accompanied the trio.
“There’s a bench up ahead. Want to sit for a bit?”
As soon as the three girls sat down, Hu Yuying instinctively looked for Long Aotian. Seeing him alone, she quickly stood up and turned to Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning: “I’ll be right back.”
With that, she walked over to Long Aotian.
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning exchanged a knowing smile and continued to focus on the backend information.
“Long Ge.” Hu Yuying approached and gently took Long Aotian’s hand: “I’m sorry, Long Ge.”
Long Aotian looked at her with amusement, lightly pinching her nose: “Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?”
Seeing the affectionate smile on Long Ge’s face, Hu Yuying felt even more guilty. Everything they had now was thanks to him.
Yet, she had just overlooked him.
Especially when she saw him alone, a moment of discomfort washed over her.
But she didn’t know how to express this feeling.
It seemed Long Aotian sensed her inner turmoil.
He sighed helplessly and reached out to stroke her long hair: “Do you know the secret to happiness?”
Without hesitation, Hu Yuying replied, “My happiness is being with Long Ge.” It was as if this question was a gift for her.
This answer exceeded Long Aotian’s expectations, and her unwavering response warmed his heart: “Then don’t overthink it.”
Feeling Long Ge’s gentle hand caressing her hair, Hu Yuying took a small step forward, wrapping her arms around his waist, her head resting snugly against his chest.
“Thank you, Long Ge.”
It seemed that since the moment she met Long Ge, the phrase she had said the most was “thank you.”
“Thank you, Long Ge, for changing me little by little, guiding me to grow step by step on this slow and clumsy journey.”
Thank you, Long Ge, for appearing in my life...
“You’re getting better at this.”
“Then Long Ge, hurry up and see if Yuying has had any candy today. Why is her mouth so sweet?”
Hu Yuying stood on her tiptoes, lifted her face, and closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and softness of his lips.
In her heart, she quietly thought: It’s because of Long Ge that Ah Ying has changed.

The night was hazy.
“Bro, keep an eye on me.”
Lin Wanning was looking at her phone while confidently entrusting her safety to Long Aotian.
“Should I smack you?” Long Aotian was determined not to encourage Lin Wanning’s habits.
“Bro, it’s my first time opening an online store. I need to take care of my customers,” Lin Wanning pouted.
“Pouting won’t work. Focus on the road.”
“Bro, you’re biased! Ah Ying can do it, and you’re holding her hand and looking at her...”
Long Aotian shot her a glance. Was it really the same?
He directly pinched the soft skin at the back of Lin Wanning’s neck: “Are you ignoring what I said?”
With that, he gently tugged at the flesh on her neck, and Lin Wanning immediately quieted down.
Seeing her look of grievance, he couldn’t help but chuckle. Who would have thought that the girl in front of him, looking so pitiful, was actually the cool and aloof campus beauty at school?
“Alright, don’t look so pitiful. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Lin Wanning nodded slightly. In truth, she wasn’t really feeling wronged; on the contrary, she felt a bit happy. She was just pretending to be aggrieved to get her brother to pinch her neck a little more.
Putting away her phone, she walked closely beside Long Aotian, inching closer and closer...
“Take it slow on the way back.”
As they reached the entrance of the music academy, Long Aotian softly reminded her: “Don’t look at your phone while walking.”
“Got it, bro.”
Lin Wanning patted her pocket, indicating that her phone was safely tucked away.
Watching Lin Wanning’s figure gradually disappear, Long Aotian finally left.
Walking along the internal path, the weather had turned cooler, and large patches of leaves had fallen to the ground, crunching underfoot, which oddly relieved some of Long Aotian’s stress.
He couldn’t imagine how beautiful it would be when the weather got even colder, and these leaves danced and scattered across the land...
“Hey, Long Aotian, you’re back.” Sitting on a bench was a girl wearing a hat, her face obscured. Her voice was a bit hoarse, but it was clearly a girl’s voice.
As she spoke, she paused, seemingly recalling something, and lifted her hand to remove her hat, revealing Shen Mengjie’s alluring face: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Waiting for me?” Long Aotian frowned and asked in a low voice: “Waiting for what?”
---
He could sense that Shen Mengjie wasn’t in a good state, a faint smell of beer wafting from her.
“Let’s drink. Come have a drink with me.”
“Not interested.” He said this and walked past Shen Mengjie.
Even after passing her, Long Aotian could still feel her gaze piercing into his back, as if she wanted to see right through him.
“Why? Why not?”
Shen Mengjie’s public persona was always that of a sensual and intelligent woman, but today, those six words escaped her lips with a hint of an unexplainable breakdown.
But none of this seemed to concern him.
As he walked back to the dormitory, he occasionally overheard snippets of conversations from those around him.
