Chapter 248
“Don’t move, or you can just stay at home,” Long Aotian said, effortlessly grabbing Hu Yuying’s small foot with one hand.
After playfully toying with it for a moment, he gently put shoes on her, chuckling at the shy expression on her face. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” She obediently followed behind Long Ge, sneaking a glance at him. He really loved playing with her little feet.
They arrived at the electric bike store.
“Want me to take you for a spin?”
After selecting a bike of just the right size, Long Aotian turned to Hu Yuying with a smile.
“Sure.”
“Boss, I’ll take this one. Please install the battery; I’ll take a quick ride.”
While the staff was busy installing the battery, Long Aotian pulled Hu Yuying over to pick out helmets.
He picked up a pink helmet and placed it on her head. “This one looks great!”
Hu Yuying chose a yellow and black striped helmet for Long Aotian. “How about you wear this one, Long Ge?”
“Sure, doesn’t it match the colors of those two cups you won at the ring toss?”
“I picked it based on the cup colors,” Hu Yuying said, beaming at him.
“Me too,” Long Aotian laughed.
The mutual understanding and connection between them were the sources of their joy.
It turned out the little girl had never forgotten.
It turned out Long Ge had never forgotten either.
Soon, the battery was installed.
Long Aotian swung his long legs over the bike, donned the helmet with flair, and looked back at Hu Yuying, who was waiting beside him. “Take it slow.”
“Mm-hmm.” The little girl carefully climbed onto the back.
Watching the figure in front of her, she no longer felt shy or hesitant; instead, she wrapped her arms around him.
At that moment, nothing could make her happier.
Feeling her soft body press against him from behind, Long Aotian’s lips curled into a slight smile, her gentle breaths echoing in his ears.
“I’m all set, Long Ge,” she whispered, holding him tightly.
“Let’s go.”
The electric bike roared to life, heading down the open road.
In that instant, it felt like they were back in Haibay City, with Long Ge riding a tricycle while she sat obediently behind him.
Different city, different scenery, same person: “Long Ge, I really feel so happy.”
“This is happiness. You’re too easily satisfied, little girl. From now on, I’ll make you even happier.”
“Then I must be too beautiful,” Hu Yuying said, hugging Long Aotian’s waist, her laughter bright and joyful.
After a quick spin around the area, they returned to the store to settle the bill and headed home.
...
“Why?” Xue Shaohua instinctively tossed his hair, revealing the earring on his left ear. Looking at the chat messages on his phone, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
He hadn’t seen Hu Yuying at school all day.
Initially, he thought she might be unwell, so he texted her roommate. (He had added her as a friend before and tried to get Hu Yuying’s QQ through her roommate, but Hu Yuying never agreed.)
The response he got was that Hu Yuying wasn’t in the dorm and had left early in the morning.
When he called around eight, he could hear a boy’s voice in the background—perhaps Hu Yuying’s boyfriend.
This information pierced Xue Shaohua’s heart like a thorn.
Looking up at the sky, his mood seemed to elevate.
He slowly extended his arms, closed his eyes, and performed the one action he had never been able to do: he embraced himself.
Just last week, he had been close to Hu Yuying, and now, barely a week later, she was out with someone else.
Perhaps Hu Yuying was currently enjoying herself, likely happy.
But!
But she had never considered his feelings, never thought about the loneliness and emptiness in his heart.
With this thought, Xue Shaohua took out his phone and dialed a number.
Once connected, he spoke despondently, “Hu Yuying has been taken away by Long Aotian again, since this morning…”
“Damn it! This heartless beast, has he really stooped so low as to take her away during class?”
“What else is he capable of?”
“Have the photos from last time been developed yet?”
At this, a shadow crossed Xue Shaohua’s eyes. “Of course…”
Chapter 302: She’s Gone to Sleep
“Send them to Hu Yuying, right now! I want to expose Long Aotian’s true colors!” Ye Liangchen shouted in frustration.
He was already preparing to ruin Long Aotian’s reputation, but the guy showed no remorse and still wanted to do bad things to Hu Yuying. He couldn’t take it anymore; it was unbearable.
“Alright, let’s start planning. We need to make sure Hu Yuying sees Long Aotian’s true face!” Xue Shaohua said fiercely.
This was too much; Long Aotian was simply crossing the line!
As he spoke, he entered the QQ interface, searching frantically, only to remember he hadn’t added Hu Yuying on QQ.
“I don’t have Hu Yuying’s QQ!”
“What?” Ye Liangchen gasped.
He couldn’t accept it.
Hu Yuying was supposed to be his, and now she had been taken away by Long Aotian.
It was as if he had never existed!
He probably didn’t realize he was about to face his downfall, and yet he dared to treat him this way—unforgivable!
Calming down, Ye Liangchen took a deep breath to quell his anger.
“This is the last time! This is the final chance for Long Aotian to mess with Hu Yuying. If it happens again, I won’t let him off the hook!”
Hearing Ye Liangchen’s words, Xue Shaohua gradually calmed down.
Although Hu Yuying had never cared about his feelings, this was the last straw. If he discovered that Long Aotian was still with Hu Yuying, he would stop at nothing to get those photos into her hands!
Even if it meant exposing Long Aotian’s wicked nature prematurely and delaying their plans, this was their final chance!
“Do you have time later? Let’s go out for drinks!” Xue Shaohua tossed his hair back, taking a deep breath.
He was really furious today, truly furious!
“See you at the usual place!” Ye Liangchen said before hanging up.
“Long Aotian, you better watch out! I will make you pay dearly for what you did to Hu Yuying today!”
“Damn it! You took Hu Yuying away since morning. Are you even human?”
As he said this, Ye Liangchen looked up at the sky. “Don’t worry, my treasure girl. I’ll save you from this misery before long. I’ll restore your title!”
With that, he slowly closed his eyes, a tear slipping from the corner.
“No matter how many times you hurt me, I’ll still love you like it’s the first time!”
After doing all this, Ye Liangchen gently wiped away the tear, ignoring the stares from those around him, tossed his hair, and headed to the usual spot.
When they met, both men exchanged bitter smiles, raised their glasses, clinked them together, and downed their drinks.
“This is infuriating! I’ve never been this angry before. We were so close to getting Hu Yuying, and then that beast Long Aotian swoops in. I can’t stand it!”
After finishing a drink, Xue Shaohua began to vent. “Why does someone like him get Hu Yuying’s favor? It’s not fair!”
“Do you think you’re the only one who feels that way? I’m not okay with it either! I’ll make that bastard understand the consequences of crossing me!”
If it were before, Ye Liangchen might not have dared to say this, but now, with the photos from the last shoot in hand, he felt a bit more confident.
Because in everyone’s eyes, they couldn’t accept someone who was fickle and unfaithful!
Hu Yuying couldn’t accept it, Li Qingxue couldn’t accept it, and even Lin Wanning, who was so aloof, wouldn’t stand for it!
Unfortunately, they had only captured some hand-holding moments.
That was far from enough; they needed to go further. There was only one chance, and they had to strike hard to take down Long Aotian, leaving him no room to recover!
“What’s wrong with you? Why haven’t you added Hu Yuying on QQ yet?”
“Do you think I don’t want to? What can I do if Hu Yuying doesn’t agree?”
Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, tossing his hair back to reveal the earrings in both ears.
“Let me give it a try!”
Xue Shaohua scoffed. If he couldn’t add Hu Yuying on QQ, how could Ye Liangchen?
