Chapter 231

After a moment of thought, Hu Yuying nodded, feeling that this question was indeed answerable. After all, her two close friends would eventually go through similar experiences.

So she said, “First of all, it feels like my body doesn’t belong to me anymore. My little garden hurts, my lower back aches, and there’s this bloating pain in my lower abdomen…”

“Is it here?” Lin Wanning gently traced her fingers along Hu Yuying’s waist and abdomen, finally stopping at her lower belly and giving it a light rub.

“Yeah, that’s the spot,” Hu Yuying whispered.

Just then, Lin Wanning and Li Qingxue leaned in closer, their voices low as they whispered, “So what kind of cheese are you using?”

In an instant, Hu Yuying’s ears, along with her fair neck, turned bright red.

“I don’t know, I don’t know! I don’t know anything! Please stop asking…”

Lin Wanning squinted her eyes and smiled, “Let me guess, you must really like that kind of cheese, right? Is that it?”

“And what about that thing last night? It got stuck for a moment, and Yuying didn’t want to continue.”

Hearing their teasing, Hu Yuying couldn’t help but smile helplessly. She had fantasized about it before, but the reality was that whatever form Long Ge took, that was just how it was…

But she wouldn’t say any of this; otherwise, she’d really seem foolish…

“Long Ge will probably be back soon. Let’s get the big pot out,” Hu Yuying suggested, trying to divert her friends’ attention.

The three of them walked into the room.

Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning’s gazes were drawn to the lingerie hanging nearby.

They immediately shot Hu Yuying a strange look.

Feeling uncomfortable under their scrutiny, Hu Yuying crossed her arms protectively over her chest and said, “Long Ge bought me new ones; they’re not vacuum-sealed.”

As she spoke, she poked Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning’s cheeks playfully. “You two shouldn’t be watching those little videos anymore. Look at you, your heads are filled with all sorts of yellow nonsense.”

“Wanning was the one who got me to watch them.”

“Now that you have a boyfriend, have you forgotten the fun we used to have late at night?”

“Last night you were still a good sister, resting your head on my shoulder and cuddling with us, and today you’ve changed completely.”

Defeated by Lin Wanning’s logic, Hu Yuying sighed.

Goodness, who could have imagined that this seemingly cold and elegant woman had such a playful side behind closed doors?

If this got out, no one would believe that someone like Lin Wanning, with her aloof demeanor, could be so cheeky.

Having a mischievous friend is probably about wanting to know every little detail, right?

Before long, after they had set everything up, Long Aotian returned with the ingredients.

No matter when, he always enjoyed this kind of atmosphere.

After dinner, Hu Yuying felt her fatigue gradually fade away. Aside from a lingering ache in her lower back, the bloating pain in her abdomen was hardly noticeable unless she engaged in strenuous activity.

“They say older men are the best at caring for others, but I think Long Aotian, despite his age, is particularly good at it,” Li Qingxue whispered in Hu Yuying’s ear.

Hu Yuying’s gaze often fell on Long Ge, especially after last night; she wished she could watch him all the time. “He’s the best in the world.”

Li Qingxue chuckled, “I’ve heard you say that at least five times now.”

Lin Wanning didn’t say anything, but her eyes occasionally drifted toward Long Aotian, and she would sneak glances at Hu Yuying.

“Wanning, why have you suddenly become so quiet?”

Faced with Li Qingxue’s teasing, Lin Wanning’s cool expression softened into a smile. “I’m just full, and the sun feels so nice.”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand toward the sun.

The rays filtered through her fingers, casting a warm glow on her cheeks, adding a touch of warmth to her cool demeanor.

Watching Qingxue and Wanning lazily basking in the sun, Hu Yuying suddenly remembered their promise to buy a gift for Long Ge this weekend.

What had started as a playful joke about “being a gift for Long Ge” had now turned into something real.

Feeling a surge of happiness, she softly called out, “Long Ge…”

When Long Aotian looked over, she smiled and said, “Let’s go out and have some fun!”

“No way.” Long Aotian rejected her without a second thought. They could go out once they were well-rested, but not now.

Hu Yuying understood the meaning behind Long Ge’s words. Embarrassed, she lowered her gaze and replied softly, “It’s fine now.”

In truth, she was quite strong, but in Long Ge’s eyes, she seemed so fragile that only he could protect her. Hehe, she loved being protected by Long Ge…

And most importantly, she wanted to go out and buy some things.

“Yuying, maybe we should just wait for another day?” Li Qingxue suggested quietly. Their friendship had become unbreakable through countless heart-to-heart talks.

“It’s fine.”

As she spoke, she subtly tugged at Long Aotian’s sleeve. “Long Ge… I want to go out and play…”

Then she gently shook his arm, her bright eyes looking up at him with a pitiful expression. “Can you come shopping with us?”

Seeing the little girl acting cute, it was impossible not to give in; he’d give her anything.

He didn’t know when it had started, but he found himself utterly unable to resist her, especially now; he felt completely at her mercy.

But… for some reason, Long Aotian began to enjoy this feeling.

He couldn’t refuse her, and perhaps he didn’t want to.

In any case, he ended up taking the three little ones out.

The three of them walked together, chatting and laughing, while Long Aotian followed behind them, everything feeling just like it used to.

Chapter 281: Long Aotian, the Little Uncle

Taking the three little ones shopping.

When he saw Hu Yuying walking too fast, he called out for her to slow down.

When she crossed the street, he hurried to hold her hand.

When he noticed her taking a deep breath, he immediately suggested they take a break.

At that moment, every little action from Hu Yuying was an unspoken signal to Long Aotian.

After witnessing all this, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning couldn’t help but roll their eyes at Long Aotian.

They whispered to Hu Yuying, “Your boyfriend seems like such a mother hen.”

“Seriously! How did we not notice before that Long Aotian is so chatty?”

But in the face of their teasing, Hu Yuying just smiled lightly and said, “I like being taken care of by Long Ge.”

At this, she stole a glance at her very own Long Ge, her eyes shyly dropping.

Having someone to look after her made Hu Yuying genuinely happy. Long Ge’s willingness to care for her was a clear sign of how much he valued her.

Because he cared, he would always fuss over her.

How could she not like a Long Ge like that? She liked him so much.

The two little ones exchanged disdainful glances at Hu Yuying.

Not long ago, the three of them had been united against a common enemy, and now, just one night later, one of them had defected.

“Don’t look at me like that! I’m completely Long Ge’s now, of course I like him taking care of me. We all need to be good…”

Their expressions made Hu Yuying feel as if she had betrayed their friendship, so she hurried to explain.

Seeing Hu Yuying’s nervousness, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning chuckled, “We’re just joking! It’s clear you’re completely smitten with Long Aotian after six times.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yuying’s face turned bright red. “Don’t say that out loud!”

The three little ones were too busy playing around to notice Long Aotian trailing behind them, his ears flushed.

Watching the little girl frolicking, he sighed helplessly, “Why do you tell them everything? And why pass on the wrong information? It was clearly eight times…”

Perhaps it was the energy accumulated from his previous life, combined with the youthful body he regained after crossing over, but he felt like he had endless energy.

Last night, when he saw the little girl getting drowsy from all the teasing, he had intended to stop.

But once he started, he couldn’t help but want more. So, while she was asleep, he sneakily came back for two more rounds…

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt so tender toward her, nor would he have been so focused on her.

But thinking about it, the little girl wouldn’t have brought it up herself; it must have been Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning who asked her while he wasn’t around…

How silly of her to spill everything. He definitely needed to have a serious talk with her tonight.

And so, the three little ones walked ahead, while Long Aotian followed behind.

He didn’t even know where they were headed.

But from the earlier video call with Hu Yuying, he learned that Qingxue and Wanning wanted to buy him a gift to show their gratitude.

In truth, he didn’t care much about such things.
