“While we’re still in school, we can always be together. Even after the break, we can hang out at Long Ge’s place often,” Hu Yuying whispered to comfort her.
“Alright then.”
Seeing the fleeting look of melancholy on Qingxue’s face, Hu Yuying understood that her feelings were likely the same as her own.
After a moment of thought, she said, “How about when Long Ge finishes renovating his house, he leaves a room for you? That way, we won’t have to part ways.”
“Is that really possible?”
“Yeah, it is. Long Ge is actually starting to listen to me a bit.”
Li Qingxue squinted her beautiful eyes with a smile, “Just a bit? What you’re saying sounds like an imperial decree!”
“Come on, it’s not that exaggerated,” Hu Yuying quickly waved her hands.
“Not exaggerated? I think it’s quite the opposite.” As she spoke, she pinched Hu Yuying’s cheek, “Look at your little face turning red. If I were a guy, I’d definitely fall for a girl like you.”
“If there were a guy who looked like you, you’d probably become a heartthrob,” Hu Yuying teased, gently tapping Li Qingxue’s nose with her fingertip.
The two of them, half-joking, had already stepped outside.
“Shall I walk you to the subway station?” Li Qingxue asked Hu Yuying.
“No need, Long Ge will be here to pick me up soon. We’re just going to grab some drinks and wait for him.”
“I really need to have a good talk with that Long Aotian guy. Even if I can’t help it, he shouldn’t be so careless…”
Li Qingxue knew that at this moment, Hu Yuying was deeply affected, and it truly had a significant impact on her.
Hearing Li Qingxue say this, Hu Yuying felt a strong urge to explain that Long Ge had helped her calculate her safe period before.
And after experiencing such things once, it really becomes hard to resist.
Just like yesterday, the first one who couldn’t hold back was herself.
In the most beautiful years of life, with the most intense hormones intertwining, two people who like each other—under such conditions, a single glance is enough to ignite desire.
Long Ge had managed to hold off for so long without touching her…
If anyone were to be blamed, it would definitely be herself. If she hadn’t tried to tempt Long Ge like in those little videos, he wouldn’t have been driven to consume her completely after suppressing his rationality for so long.
Moreover, she was willing. After meeting Long Ge, she finally felt like herself.
It was a wondrous feeling, as if her first eighteen years had been a pre-written script, and Long Ge’s appearance had led her out of the life she was meant to live.
In short, this feeling was truly magical, and she was willingly savoring it now.
Long Ge had taught her courage and freedom.
She also felt the complexity and beauty of love through him.
He cared for her, respected her, understood her, embraced her, and had given so much.
Long Ge was always selfless towards her, never asking for anything in return.
The only time he did was to encourage her to work hard and earn a lot of money so she could buy him some nice clothes.
Such a man is truly wonderful, so gentle…
But the part of her that liked Long Ge had always been receiving his tolerance and care.
This wasn’t right.
Love should be mutual; it can’t be one-sided.
Long Ge always praised her for being innocent, calling her silly, as if he saw all the beauty in the world in her.
But that wasn’t true; Aying wasn’t innocent, nor was she silly.
Her truest, purest self was just herself.
To others, it might seem like she had given herself to Long Ge for nothing, but wasn’t it also true that she had bound him to her with her body…?
In fact, after experiencing this little mishap, she felt even more of Long Ge’s responsibility, his commitment, and his care.
To have such a man was her greatest happiness, wasn’t it?
So she said, “Qingxue, can you stop talking about Long Ge all the time?”
Li Qingxue huffed, “You’re just always siding with Long Aotian.”
“On matters like this, you can’t always indulge him. Sure, he has his good points, but if you keep spoiling him, he’ll just develop bad habits…”
That’s what she said.
But Li Qingxue knew in her heart that Long Aotian’s mood had to be particularly complicated these days.
And even if it wasn’t a misunderstanding, Long Aotian would never let Hu Yuying suffer even a little.
Because that’s just the kind of person he was; the more he cared, the more he wanted her to be well…

**Chapter 307: Are There Really Innocent People in This World?**
“Wake up.”
Feeling someone nudging his shoulder, Long Aotian instinctively wiped his face and said, “I wasn’t sleeping.”
Seeing Long Aotian’s dazed expression and his desperate attempt to deny it, Shen Mengjie couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, “Right, you weren’t sleeping; you were just practicing snoring.”
Hearing this, Long Aotian squinted and glanced around, spotting Shen Mengjie and the dispersed crowd. He yawned and smiled, “So it’s over?”
He hadn’t slept much the night before, and after spending the whole day shopping with the girl yesterday, he had also been intimate with her several times. Today, he had gotten up early and couldn’t help but doze off.
“Your dorm mates are something else. I didn’t see you all day yesterday, and today those three guys are nowhere to be found either.”
“Old Li sent out the living expenses today and took Military Advisor Huang Fei to mess around with his hairstyle.”
“What about Old Xu?” At this, Long Aotian looked around, not seeing Xu Shuai.
“He’s been busy flirting with Wang Lijuan. Who can keep an eye on you all the time?”
As she said this, she looked Long Aotian up and down, “What have you been up to these past few days? You look completely drained.”
“You wouldn’t understand; this is what happiness looks like.”
“Sure, sure, you’re so happy. You skipped class all day yesterday and came in today just to sleep. Don’t you guys fall apart without that kind of thing?”
“I can’t help it; my little girl spoils me,” Long Aotian said, feeling more and more grateful for his little girl.
“I never knew before that when a man goes wild, he really doesn’t need a woman around,” Shen Mengjie teased, looking at Long Aotian.
“By the way, how’s your confession plan coming along?”
Mentioning this perked Long Aotian up, “I’ve got a few ideas.”
He felt that his confession plan would definitely leave a lasting impression on his little girl, and he could even imagine her surprised expression.
Seeing the smile on Long Aotian’s face, Shen Mengjie said, “Then I should congratulate you in advance.” With that, she extended her hand toward him.
Noticing the bandage wrapped around Shen Mengjie’s hand, Long Aotian frowned slightly, “Didn’t you put on ointment?”
Hearing this, Shen Mengjie pouted, “I did, but it started itching in the middle of the night. I think I’m allergic.”
“Is it serious?”
Shen Mengjie shot him a glare, “If it were fine, would I need to wrap it up?”
With a sigh of regret, she added, “I originally planned to help you, but I got so busy that I couldn’t, and now I’m not doing well myself.”
“Come on, don’t say that. If you keep going, I’ll be embarrassed.”
“I’ll treat you to pig trotters another day to make it up to you.”
“That sounds better.” After saying that, he noticed she wasn’t heading back to the dorm but was instead walking toward the courtyard, and he asked curiously, “Where are you going?”
“Looking for my happiness.”
“You’re going to wear yourself out.”
“Anyway, someone cares about me.” His little girl was the best at caring for him.
Thinking of this made him eager to see her, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
“Are there really innocent people in this world? From my perspective, there isn’t a single one, including your little girlfriend.”
Shen Mengjie chuckled playfully.
Then she took out her phone and clicked into her photo album.
The first two photos were of Long Aotian sleeping with his head on the table.
But in the photos, Shen Mengjie was also there.
She was leaning on the table next to Long Aotian, and from this angle, it had a rather ambiguous charm.
The first time she saw Long Aotian, she could tell he was different.
Huang Fei? He was actually quite good, but he was too easy. As long as she reached out a little, he would cling to her like a lapdog.
That wasn’t what Shen Mengjie wanted.
So in her heart, Huang Fei was only suitable to be a friend.
But Long Aotian was different. Han Xiaojing had feelings for him, and Lin Wanning from the music academy looked at him differently. Even that pretty girl with short hair from last Friday smiled brightly when she mentioned Long Aotian.
He seemed to possess an indescribable yet reassuring aura.
This aura was invisible and intangible, but it could be genuinely felt in their interactions.
