Watching Long Aotian's dazed expression, Lin Wanqing chuckled softly, "Brother, does Ah Yingxiang smell better than me?"
"Just now, you were so rough, and you seemed to enjoy it..."
"Although Wanqing won't make you take responsibility, you can't just pull up your pants and forget about me."
Long Aotian sighed lightly, wiping away the blush from her skin before standing up.
"Wanqing..." He hadn't finished his sentence when his phone rang.
He took out his phone and silenced it; it was a ringtone he set to avoid mistakenly answering calls from the little girl.
"Are you going to Yu Ying?"
"Yeah."
"Then can you give me a ride to the subway station?"
As she spoke, Lin Wanqing stood up, her steps a bit unsteady as she made her way toward the room.
There was one thing Lin Wanqing didn’t lie about to Long Aotian: she would only disturb him and Hu Yu Ying in secret, never openly. Even if it was just the remnants of love, she would savor it.
Before long, she changed back into her previous outfit.
Standing in front of Long Aotian with her bag in hand, she smiled quietly, "Brother, I can be very obedient too."
Faced with Lin Wanqing like this, the words Long Aotian wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
He simply gathered up the blood-stained tissues from the floor. "I'll take you back."
"Thanks, brother." She turned to sit on the electric scooter, this time tentatively wrapping her arms around Long Aotian.
Neither of them spoke, but their thoughts were a tangled mess.
Lin Wanqing thought that her brother was just temporarily unable to accept this.
The best way was to do it a couple more times, just like how normal people eat and drink; the more they did it, the less guilt they would feel. As long as this little secret remained undiscovered, things would eventually return to how they were.
In fact, Lin Wanqing wasn’t wrong; Long Aotian felt more guilt than anything else.
He was also unsure how to face Lin Wanqing in the future.
No matter how it went, Lin Wanqing's first time was undeniably given to herself.
Meeting again would always be awkward.
Lost in thought, they had already returned to the music academy.
"We're here."
"Yeah."
As Lin Wanqing got out of the back seat, her legs felt weak, and she almost stumbled.
Long Aotian quickly reached out to support her. "Are you okay?"
His simple concern made Lin Wanqing feel a bit wronged. "I’m fine, just my legs are a bit weak, and it hurts a little down there."
The first pain was inevitable; the key was that Lin Wanqing had only imitated what she saw in videos, squatting and standing...
Even though she had been practicing dance and was quite flexible, the continuous movements from start to finish left her legs weak and sore the next day.
As Lin Wanqing complained, Long Aotian recalled how she had been drenched in sweat, her cheeks flushed as if they could drip water, yet she stubbornly continued to push through, sniffling as she maintained her movements.
It suddenly struck him as amusing.
"What a silly girl."
He glanced at the time and then at Lin Wanqing. "Get in the car."
Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up at his words, her previously cold face breaking into a pure smile as she settled back into the electric scooter.
Long Aotian took her to the area by the artificial lake.
After getting out, he slowly crouched down in front of Lin Wanqing and began to massage her legs.
"Later, when you get home, you should massage yourself a bit; otherwise, tomorrow you'll be in so much pain you won't be able to get out of bed."
"You're so caring, brother." Lin Wanqing placed her legs on Long Aotian's arms, feeling that she was already his, so why not let him massage her legs?
Though she didn’t have a waist like Ah Ying, her long legs were still quite eye-catching.
Lin Wanqing wasn’t as easily embarrassed as Hu Yu Ying.
Just like she had told Long Aotian a long time ago, she wasn’t a particularly traditional girl; as long as it was someone she had set her heart on, anything was possible.
Hearing this, Long Aotian paused his movements.
He looked up at Lin Wanqing, who was sitting on the back of the electric scooter. "Do you know that doing this actually has a worse effect on you?"
"I know, but I don’t care." Lin Wanqing chuckled lightly, speaking without hesitation. "Actually, I’m quite barren; I want to give you the best, but after thinking it over, it seems the best I can offer is myself."
"Brother, do you remember what I said?" Without waiting for Long Aotian to recall, Lin Wanqing continued, "Maybe one day I’ll meet someone better than you, someone I like even more."
"But that’s so hard."
"Since I met you, I can’t help but compare everyone to you. It feels like everyone has a shadow of you, but I know they’re not you."
"I think you’re like a celestial demon star in my life, constantly entangling my emotions, making me complex yet irresistibly drawn to you."
At this point, Lin Wanqing looked seriously at Long Aotian. She was an adult; how could she not know that this was not good? Yet, she still chose to do it.
There were no reasons to explain; even if she felt as lowly as dust, even if her existence was something to be hidden...
Long Aotian listened quietly to Lin Wanqing's words, and from her speech, he could understand her feelings for him at that moment.
She was so earnest, so reckless, so unmindful of the consequences.
He scoffed softly at himself, wondering what right he had.
"You and Ah Ying are just plastic sisters, right?"
Lin Wanqing shook her head seriously. "No."
"She’s my good friend, my best buddy, and also my good sister."
"Maybe I’m the one who’s a bit bad and shameless."
As she spoke, Lin Wanqing's long, fair arms wrapped tightly around Long Aotian's waist. "I don’t ask for much, just a little bit."
"They took me away from my grandparents but left me with a deep sense of alienation. Brother, let me keep a little beauty, at least this beauty will never abandon me."
"If you feel guilty, I have a way."
"What way?"
Lin Wanqing smiled mischievously and leaned closer to Long Aotian's ear. "Just treat me like Ah Ying, and do it a few more times. Gradually, the guilt will lessen."
Seeing Long Aotian's surprised expression, Lin Wanqing laughed joyfully.
...
"Long Ge."
She blinked and waved her hand in front of him. "Long Ge? Long Ge?"
"Huh?" Long Aotian snapped back to reality, looking at Hu Yu Ying in front of him, forcing a laugh. "Just in time."
"What were you thinking? I called you several times, and you didn’t respond." Hu Yu Ying puffed out her cheeks and put on her helmet.
"Nothing, nothing, haha, get in. I’ll take you to eat."
Hu Yu Ying smiled and pinched Long Aotian's cheek. "Now you’re the dazed Long Ge..."

**Chapter 321: The Moon Looks Beautiful Tonight**
Facing the little girl’s teasing, Long Aotian chuckled lightly. "Yeah, I’m a bit dazed."
He took the little girl to a small restaurant in the back street.
This little restaurant was recommended by Xu Shuai; it was affordable and tasted good.
"Boss, two bowls of rice noodles." After placing the order, Long Aotian turned to the little girl. "My roommate recommended this place, saying the rice noodles are delicious. Let’s give it a try."
"Okay." Hu Yu Ying glanced at the price list hanging on the wall, nodding happily. Five yuan a bowl seemed quite reasonable to her.
In her eyes, whether the food was good or not was secondary; what mattered was whether the price was affordable.
"Long Ge, let me tell you..." The little girl habitually shared interesting stories she encountered at A University with Long Aotian.
Watching the smile on her face and her endless chatter, Long Aotian felt a complex mix of emotions.
As the little girl spoke, the clay pot rice noodles were served.
Long Aotian took a clean bowl, scooped some rich broth and noodles, added a bit of sesame oil, and placed it in front of Hu Yu Ying with a smile. "Give it a try."
"Long Ge, can I have some chili?"
The bright red chili oil was sure to whet the appetite.
"Of course." Long Aotian quickly added some chili oil for her, accommodating her request.
"Long Ge, you should eat too." Hu Yu Ying took a bite and smiled at him. "It’s really delicious!"
The little girl always presented the good things to him, trusting and caring for him without hesitation.
The more he thought about it, the more Long Aotian felt like slapping himself.
To him, the little girl was a rare treasure, someone he cared for deeply. What a wonderful girl she was.
He felt like a despicable, shameless person.
Long Aotian was deeply conflicted; if Ah Ying found out about this, she would surely be heartbroken, and he would become a disgrace in her eyes.
