Chapter 237
In the past, Hu Yuying exuded an air of innocence, but today, she radiated a soft, alluring charm that made it clear she had been nurtured in some way.
Feeling a bit uneasy and stifled, I couldn't help but think that if it weren't for Ye Liangchen last time, I might have been able to quietly listen and immerse myself in the moment.
I took a deep breath to suppress my inner turmoil, then confidently tossed my hair back, deliberately revealing the earring on my left ear.
With that earring, I had finally outshone Ye Liangchen in terms of style, and more importantly, it had caught Shen Mengjie’s attention.
So tonight, I came to T University hoping for a stroke of luck, perhaps even a chance encounter with Shen Mengjie.
I wanted to express my inner frustrations to her, hoping to earn her admiration.
After all, I was the one who had drawn Shen Mengjie’s gaze first...
“What are you doing here?”
Hearing the voice, Xue Shaohua frowned slightly and turned around.
His gaze froze for a moment.
Because he saw that Ye Liangchen was wearing earrings in both ears.
“Are you copying me?” Xue Shaohua questioned.
“Copy you? Ha! I’ve wanted to get my ears pierced for ages; you just beat me to it!” Ye Liangchen confidently tossed his hair and said, “Do you really think I need to copy you?”
With his hands in his pockets, he slowly walked toward Xue Shaohua, facing him directly, then scoffed, “All your style is just a reflection of mine. Did I ever say anything about it?”
“And remember, Shen Mengjie is the key piece in my game against Long Aotian. You have no right to interfere...”
Chapter 288: Shen Mengjie is an Alternative Extreme
Ye Liangchen spoke these words with utmost seriousness.
This was his only card to play, and he couldn’t let anyone disrupt it.
At this point, he took a deep breath, his gaze piercing as he fixed it on Xue Shaohua. “Don’t forget, Hu Yuying is also part of my plan.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Shaohua hesitated. The enchanting Hu Yuying, with her soft allure, was still more appealing to him than the fiery Shen Mengjie. In his obsession, he found himself wanting the delicate and charming Hu Yuying.
At any moment, a girl who embodies softness, gentleness, and beauty will always be the white moonlight in a man’s heart.
So, with a confident toss of his hair, he said in a newly learned bubbly tone, “But you know I can’t help my own charm. Shen Mengjie is drawn to me, and I can’t do anything about it!”
Hearing this, Ye Liangchen frowned, then cleared his throat, using an even purer bubbly tone to say, “Xue Shaohua, you know that as a knight and redeemer, my mission has always been to save Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning.”
“And you chose to collaborate with me because of Hu Yuying. Now that an opportunity is right in front of me, I won’t allow anyone to interfere.”
Ye Liangchen stood his ground.
“What’s your plan?” Xue Shaohua didn’t want to clash with Ye Liangchen, so he asked about his plan. If it sounded feasible, he could temporarily tone down his charm and avoid attracting Shen Mengjie for now!
“Long Aotian, that playboy, wants to get his hands on Shen Mengjie’s body. You probably didn’t know that!”
“Damn it!” Xue Shaohua didn’t know this, but it didn’t stop his anger!
He had already gotten Hu Yuying, yet he was still not satisfied and wanted to pursue Shen Mengjie, who had shown him some admiration. It was simply inhumane!
“Just think, if we manage to communicate with Shen Mengjie and set a trap for Long Aotian, capturing him in the act of cheating on Hu Yuying, do you think Hu Yuying could keep tolerating Long Aotian, who has betrayed her time and again?”
At this point, both of them were smart enough to understand the implications.
If a rift formed between Hu Yuying and Long Aotian, wouldn’t that be the perfect opportunity for them to swoop in?
Just thinking about Hu Yuying’s innocent yet slightly seductive face today made Xue Shaohua feel exhilarated.
If Hu Yuying had been nurtured by him to look this way, damn, he wouldn’t let her out of bed for at least a week, except for bathroom breaks!
“Dude, what are you thinking? Calm down!” Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but scold Xue Shaohua when he saw the lewd expression on his face.
“Just talking about this makes me angry.” Xue Shaohua then recounted Hu Yuying’s transformation to Ye Liangchen. “It’s unbelievable! I don’t know how much energy it takes to turn Hu Yuying from a pure jade girl into such a seductive vixen.”
Just hearing Xue Shaohua describe Hu Yuying made Ye Liangchen’s heart race. How alluring must she be? It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was captivating in every way!
Although he had known for a while that Hu Yuying had been sullied by that beast Long Aotian, hearing it again still filled him with resentment toward Long Aotian.
If it weren’t for Long Aotian, it should have been him nurturing Hu Yuying to this state.
“It seems I need to expedite my plan,” Ye Liangchen said softly.
“Is your plan feasible? Don’t let Long Aotian really get to Shen Mengjie.”
“Don’t worry!” Ye Liangchen’s eyes sparkled with confidence.
Shen Mengjie was already the woman he had set his sights on; there was no way he would let her actually go and be with Long Aotian.
Of course, he couldn’t say this in front of Xue Shaohua.
After all, this guy also had his eyes on Shen Mengjie. If he found out that Shen Mengjie was already reserved for him, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause!
Sigh! To save them, he really had to go through a lot of trouble!
But just thinking about the moment when Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, Lin Wanning, and Shen Mengjie would all be surrounding him made everything he was doing worthwhile.
Xue Shaohua thought for a moment, then ran his fingers through his hair, covering his earrings.
After toning down his charm, he said, “I believe in you, so I’m willing to tone down my charm and try not to attract Shen Mengjie. But you’d better hurry up with your plan because I’ve noticed my charm is growing, and I might unintentionally deepen Shen Mengjie’s feelings for me.”
Hmph, Ye Liangchen scoffed at this. When he made a gesture as if to embrace himself, he knew no one in the world could be more charming than him.
But Xue Shaohua was right about one thing: it was time to act quickly.
The sooner they could drive a wedge between Hu Yuying and Long Aotian, the sooner Qingxue and Wanning would see Long Aotian’s true colors, and his redemption plan could be realized sooner.
Yet, suddenly, the image of the earlier scene with Long Aotian in the public restroom flashed in his mind!
To be honest, it still made him feel a bit queasy. That was quite a sight, and Hu Yuying didn’t know... sigh... never mind, once he won Hu Yuying’s heart, he could explore other avenues later.
He imagined that Hu Yuying would feel indebted to him and would be willing to cooperate with him, after all, she was such a gentle person.
“I have my own arrangements for this,” Ye Liangchen thought, already formulating a plan. Next, he needed to find a way to make Shen Mengjie completely trust him.
This required an opportunity, and with his scheming and involvement, he was sure he could turn the tide in his favor.
Xue Shaohua tossed his hair back and then put his hands in his pockets, preparing to leave.
“What are you up to?” Ye Liangchen asked.
Hearing this, Xue Shaohua stopped, a confident smile curling at the corners of his mouth. “Of course, I’m leaving first. Otherwise, I’m afraid if Shen Mengjie sees me, she might be irresistibly drawn to me, and that wouldn’t be good for our plans!”
His words were filled with an overwhelming sense of confidence.
Ye Liangchen clenched his fists tightly, wanting nothing more than to run over and slap him hard across the face!
How dare he act so confident in front of him? It was as if he didn’t even see him!
“You really are full of yourself.”
Xue Shaohua tossed his hair back, looking up at a 45-degree angle with confidence. “Not really, sometimes I just feel a bit sentimental, and it makes me seem melancholic.”
“You know, a melancholic man is like a sweet-smelling poison, irresistibly attracting the attention of girls.”
Tossing his hair, looking up at a 45-degree angle, being melancholic... all of this was just a reflection of what he had learned from Ye Liangchen.
“There’s a saying you might have heard: ‘Those who learn from me thrive, while those who imitate me perish.’”
Xue Shaohua, being someone who got into A University, naturally understood the meaning of this phrase.
But Shen Mengjie was attracted to him, not to Ye Liangchen.
This fact gave Xue Shaohua immense confidence.
Recalling the admiration in Shen Mengjie’s eyes when she looked at him, the confidence on Xue Shaohua’s face grew even more pronounced.
“Of course, I’ve heard that saying, but have you heard another one? ‘The blue is derived from the indigo but surpasses it.’”
