Chapter 222
"I'm sure of it," Hu Yuying said confidently. "Look at Long Ge; he always takes us out to eat and play. He’s not the kind of person who cares about such things."
"But have you noticed that every time we see Long Ge, he wears the same few pieces of clothing?"
"Long Ge has the money to buy more; he just doesn’t care."
At this point, Hu Yuying's gaze softened, a smile blooming in her eyes. "He never takes good care of himself. Now that the weather's cold, he’s still wearing that coat I bought him last time."
"Long Ge is a simple person. When you buy him something, he always acts like it’s unnecessary, saying he has plenty of clothes already, that there’s no need to buy more..."
"But if you do buy him something, he might not seem pleased at first, but once he wears it, he can’t help but feel happy."
Even Hu Yuying didn’t realize how gentle and beautiful her smile was at that moment.
"Actually, Long Ge is the one who needs the most care because when he’s busy taking care of others, he always forgets to take care of himself..."
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanqing looked at Hu Yuying, and the joy on her face when she mentioned Long Aotian was pure and untainted.
In her heart, Long Aotian was like her sky, her earth, her everything...
She had promised to take good care of Long Aotian, and it was never just empty words.
She was thoughtful, always considering things others might overlook.
Even something as simple as adding an extra layer of clothing for the cold.
But when you think about it, isn’t that how mothers are? Always considering everything for their fathers...
"So I think it’s best to buy clothes for Long Ge."
Hu Yuying’s words lit a beacon of clarity for the confused girls.
Immediately, she wrapped her arms around Hu Yuying’s slim waist. "Yuying, you’re so good to Long Aotian."
"That’s because Long Ge is so good to me."
"So you have to take good care of my brother, okay?"
"Hey, what’s that sound?"
"Didn’t we agree on this?"
"Do you want to see?"
Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue: "......"
"Still pretending? Were you looking forward to teasing my brother all along?" She playfully ruffled Hu Yuying’s hair.
"Not at all..." At this point, Hu Yuying’s cheeks flushed, her thoughts drifting back to that night, the future in her hands... Her face grew even hotter as she mumbled, "Teasing him is more like it..."
"Wow, that move is impressive."
"Ugh, so embarrassing, just stop talking about it."
Lin Wanqing said nothing, silently taking note of this new tactic.
As the night passed, the three girls—no, the three little troublemakers—woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day.
"I don’t have any classes this afternoon, so I’ll come find you guys," Hu Yuying said after getting ready.
"Sounds good, just call me," Li Qingxue gestured to her ear.
"Yeah, about those coupons you mentioned yesterday, I really think we should give them a try."
After parting ways, Hu Yuying returned to A University. It was still early, so she first went back to her dorm before heading to the cafeteria.
As she walked in, she lightly tossed her bangs and a faint, bittersweet smile appeared on her lips.
Today, she seemed particularly happy, her long hair swaying gently as she moved. Her beauty was captivating; even in a crowded cafeteria, all eyes seemed to gravitate toward her.
With another toss of her hair, she shielded her right cheek with two fingers, exuding a confidence that was palpable, yet the bitterness at the corners of her mouth was unmistakable.
"Xue Shaohua, that pose is really cool."
Xue Shaohua maintained his pose, fingers resting on the bridge of his nose, and slowly looked up. "Cool? I don’t think so. It’s just a reflex I have when I’m feeling down."
"There are some things you just don’t understand, so even if you learn the surface, you can’t grasp the depth like I do." He finished with a sad smile, tossing his hair again.
He deliberately tilted his head to show off the newly pierced earrings.
"Whoa, you got your ears pierced?"
"That’s so cool! Where did you get it done?"
[Perhaps some readers are wondering why my knight and the excellent guy always toss their hair. You might not have experienced the non-mainstream era, where tossing hair, getting ear piercings, and wearing tight clothes were all the rage.]
Hearing the compliments, Xue Shaohua tossed his hair again, looking up at a 45-degree angle, and said nonchalantly, "They say ear piercings are emotional outlets, deeply etched in memory, yet also a gentle vulnerability..."
He glanced at Hu Yuying, then tossed his hair again. "Legend has it that when you get your ears pierced, the person you think of is your soulmate from a past life, someone you’ll meet again in the next cycle."
He raised a finger, slowly pointing to the sky. "And sometimes, when I feel sad, I can only mask that inner pain with the physical pain of hurting my body."
Those who heard this knew he was hinting at something deeper.
But to be fair, Hu Yuying was like a celestial being, and it made sense that Xue Shaohua couldn’t keep up with her.
He watched as Hu Yuying sat down to have breakfast.
Xue Shaohua maintained his pose, fingers still on his face, and walked over to her.
Once he reached her side, he suddenly took a step back and smiled, nodding at Hu Yuying. "I’ll slowly become even better than I am now."
Without waiting for her to respond, he turned and left, doing so with a decisive flair.
Hu Yuying shrugged in confusion, finishing her breakfast before heading to class to secure a seat.
As she left the cafeteria, Xue Shaohua smiled to himself. "I feel like a lone wolf in the night, silently guarding and licking my wounds..."
After following Hu Yuying to the classroom, he took advantage of her brief absence.
Looking around, he pretended to accidentally bump into her things. After grabbing the notebook he wanted, he quickly snapped photos while she was still away.
Once he finished, his smile turned wicked. "Don’t blame me; everything I do is for your own good. Long Aotian can’t give you what you need. What you need is someone exceptional, and I’m more than enough..."
"In the coming years, we’ll be together, and I’ll make sure you get to know me better..."

Chapter 270: What a Headache
Xue Shaohua sent the photos he took to Ye Liangchen via his phone.
Sometimes it wasn’t that Xue Shaohua didn’t trust Ye Liangchen; it was just that Ye Liangchen’s standards were incredibly high.
The key was his confidence, a kind of confidence that Xue Shaohua found hard to describe.
It was as if he had everything under control, no matter how dire the situation.
This indescribable aura of confidence was why Xue Shaohua was willing to cooperate with him.
On the other side, Ye Liangchen stood at the podium, grinning crookedly. Suddenly, he closed his eyes, opened his arms to the sky, confidently tossed his hair, and then slowly brought his arms back in, as if embracing himself.
After doing all this, he finally opened his eyes, scanning the front row of female students.
Wherever his gaze landed, the girls all smiled shyly and lowered their heads.
In any school, there are always a few exceptionally attractive girls in each department.
At this moment, Ye Liangchen was using his extraordinary charm to captivate these girls.
After all, as a reincarnated soul with the wisdom of twenty-eight years, he sometimes felt a tinge of loneliness.
Besides, he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
He was merely showcasing his charm occasionally. If they couldn’t resist and came looking for him, that was their choice. After all, he couldn’t help it if his charm was too great for them to ignore.
He gazed deeply at the prettiest girl in the classroom, a smile creeping onto his lips as he tossed his hair confidently, maintaining his smile while resting his chin on one hand, his eyes fixed on her.
Few girls could withstand such an adoring gaze.
Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
Ye Liangchen stretched, pulling out his phone.
When he saw that the message was from Xue Shaohua, the confident smile on his face grew even more pronounced.
It seemed he had found an opportunity.
Opening the message, he found several pictures attached, and the handwriting was unmistakably Hu Yuying’s.
