When they returned home, before even stepping through the door, Hu Yuying found herself pressed against the wall by Long Aotian.
Urgent kisses, heavy breaths, and a hint of punishment mixed in the air.
Hu Yuying clung tightly to Long Aotian, seeking balance.
In the next moment, she felt his hand slide down to her waist, starting to unbutton her shirt.
Realizing what was happening, Hu Yuying gasped and leaned against Long Aotian's shoulder. "Long Ge, we can't."
Long Aotian paused, looking down at the girl, his voice low and heavy. "Why not?"
"I don't have any left. I’ll go buy some," Hu Yuying said, her face flushed and glistening, gently resting against his chest.
"I told you to buy a bit more and keep it at home, but you just won’t let me," he said, his fingers lightly stroking her chin, his breath growing hotter.
Hu Yuying shot him a playful glare. "Why wouldn’t I let you? Doesn’t Long Ge have any idea?"
Last time, he bought a big box, and he himself said it was gone in just a few days.
It would be better to buy a small box with three pieces at a time, so he would be limited. Otherwise, Long Ge would treat their intimate moments like eating and drinking...
Honestly, she never opposed being intimate with Long Ge, and each time she was deeply immersed in it. But Hu Yuying understood that the more they did, the more alluring she became, while Long Ge was the one losing his energy.
Faced with her retort, Long Aotian felt his frustration gradually subside. Sometimes, he wondered if his energy was just too abundant.
"Wait for me, okay? I’ll be back soon," Hu Yuying said, moving to leave for the store.
Long Aotian gently wrapped his arms around her, not letting her go, and whispered in her ear, "Let’s eat first."
The more he had, the more he cherished it. The time spent with her was too beautiful, to the point where his mindset was starting to shift.
He couldn’t just keep any man away from her; that was simply unrealistic.
Life was full of social interactions—men, women, old folks, children—too many to count.
He couldn’t manage that, so he felt a bit irrationally jealous.
But what Long Aotian didn’t know was how happy Hu Yuying felt when she saw him getting jealous over her.
How wonderful it was that the person she liked cared for her so much.
Was there anything better in this world, anything more worth being happy about?
The little girl blinked at Long Ge, "Aren’t we going to do it?"
Actually, she had no classes that afternoon and sought him out because she had a little desire of her own...
"Let’s eat first, and come back early to rest tonight."
"Okay."
They exchanged smiles; this life was truly beautiful, filled with simple joys...
...
At the Music Academy.
Lin Wanning returned to her dorm and walked into the bathroom.
Seeing that her period had ended, she stretched with a good mood.
She took out her phone to check the time and calendar.
The three of them were so familiar with each other that they knew which days had major classes and which didn’t.
It seemed they didn’t have any major classes today, so she entered their group chat to ask if anyone was going to shower. Two of her usual shower buddies were missing.
Soon, Li Qingxue replied, saying she would send her location and would be there first.
Hu Yuying replied that she had something to do today and would join them another time.
Seeing Hu Yuying’s message, Lin Wanning knew she was probably with her brother.
"Ah Ying, save me some soup..."
【Please send power...】
Chapter 333: Marry You and Bring You Home
"Don’t look at your phone while eating."
Long Aotian wasn’t in the group chat, so he instinctively thought Hu Yuying was busy with her online store again.
"It’s not that, Long Ge. Wanning wants to invite me and Qingxue to shower together."
Hearing Lin Wanning’s name from Hu Yuying, Long Aotian nodded, saying nothing more.
Those memories often lingered in his mind.
It wasn’t that Long Aotian couldn’t forget; it was just that every time he saw Lin Wanning, he couldn’t help but remember.
But as she said, she wouldn’t tell Ah Ying; it seemed she had forgotten what happened that day.
Lin Wanning was like a stone, suddenly dropping into his world that day...
Putting away her phone, Hu Yuying looked at Long Aotian. "What are you thinking about, Long Ge?"
"Nothing." He gently took her small hand. "Ah Ying, you’re going to wear me out."
Hearing this, Hu Yuying’s cheeks flushed, and she instinctively glanced around, playfully pinching Long Aotian’s hand. "Long Ge, why are you saying this all of a sudden? We’re still outside!"
Long Aotian didn’t know why he said that; he just felt that if he was worn out, his body wouldn’t react so easily.
"Our matters shouldn’t be discussed in public; it’s not good if others hear."
Perhaps because time had passed, the little girl dared to pinch Long Aotian’s ear now.
Long Aotian, with his ear pinched, looked completely unfazed, like a pig that didn’t fear boiling water. "Got it... wife..."
After saying this, Long Aotian lowered his head and began to eat his rice noodles with fervor.
Hu Yuying’s hand froze, her gaze on the wildly eating Long Ge. She was momentarily stunned, then smiled—a quiet, gentle smile.
Releasing her grip on his ear, she felt shy and uneasy all over. "Y-you just called me what?"
"Let’s get married and bring you home as my wife."
Watching Long Ge’s legs shake with excitement, seeing his flushed ears, and his intense focus on his food, he didn’t seem as calm as he appeared. He was so cute...
In that moment, Hu Yuying felt a sweetness in her heart that she would cherish for a lifetime.
Everything around them seemed to fade away, leaving just her and her Long Ge...
She softly murmured an "mm," her voice not loud but clear enough for Long Aotian to hear.
Long Aotian stole a glance at the shy Hu Yuying, feeling a sweetness in his heart as well.
"I’m done eating. I’ll go buy two cups of fruit tea to take home," Hu Yuying said, stepping out of the small restaurant.
As she passed the supermarket, she hesitated for a moment but decided to go in.
Before long, she came out with two boxes in her pocket.
Originally, Hu Yuying planned to buy just one box, but Long Ge called her "wife"...
That word "wife" was simply sweet enough to melt Hu Yuying’s heart.
Back home.
Hu Yuying dove straight into Long Aotian’s embrace.
Looking up, she cupped his face and shyly said, "Long Ge, there’s a bug again."
"It’s okay, I’ll let the snake bite it."
They walked into the dark room.
"Long Ge, don’t turn on the light..."
"Wait, Long Ge, just like this..."
"Ah~" Long Aotian gasped, "Where did you learn that?"
"I-I watched some videos..." Hu Yuying said, feeling embarrassed.
Long Aotian was shocked; he never expected his gentle and shy little girl would secretly watch such videos. How... wonderful!
After their beautiful moment, Long Aotian and Hu Yuying lay in bed, the light off, but the moon outside was bright, shining through the window and illuminating the small room.
The faint glow wasn’t much, but it was enough for them to see each other clearly.
The young couple, having tasted the forbidden fruit, wore smiles of happiness.
She had liked him since their senior year.
He had liked her from the very beginning.
"This New Year, take me home?" Long Aotian asked tentatively.
Ah Ying’s parents had passed away early, leaving only her elderly grandparents at home. He wanted to go back and meet them, having taken their granddaughter without a word.
Hu Yuying turned to face Long Aotian, the soft moonlight casting a gentle glow on her face.
It made her slightly reddened eyes look so beautiful.
"What’s wrong? Am I not welcome at your house?" Long Aotian teased, wanting to lighten her mood as he noticed her red eyes, filled with affection.
"Not at all." After saying this, Hu Yuying wrapped her arms around his neck, snuggling close to him. "I’m very happy, especially happy."
In her village, bringing a boy home was akin to an engagement in the city.
Going back with Long Ge meant she was willing to be with him.
