Chapter 277
Shen Mengjie watched the scene unfold, unable to suppress a smirk. This guy...
But before she could finish her internal monologue, Ye Liangchen suddenly turned around again, facing Shen Mengjie. He spun in place, performing a full 360-degree turn, his right hand resting on his left shoulder, his right leg slightly propped on his left heel, and he bowed deeply, executing a gentlemanly gesture.
"This is the highest honor I, as a knight, bestow upon my princess."
Shen Mengjie’s lips moved; though no sound escaped, her expression suggested she was muttering something quite unflattering.
Even her toes ached slightly, and she couldn’t remember the last time she had felt this way.
"I'm leaving," Shen Mengjie said, turning on her heel. She feared that if she stayed any longer, she might not be able to hold back her insults, especially since she would need these two fools for the final game.
Thinking back to the way Long Aotian had looked at her when he left, Shen Mengjie found it increasingly amusing.
Such a man must be full of contradictions.
Men like him have an even greater desire to conquer, like stars in the sky—how could one pluck them down without some clever means?
Watching Shen Mengjie flee, Ye Liangchen’s smile widened. "Did you see that? She’s shy."
Xue Shaohua said in a low voice, "Aren't you going a bit too far?"
"You clearly saw her admiration for me. She even noticed the new earrings I just put on. Yet you still had to say something like that to her..."
Ye Liangchen scoffed dismissively. "If you were truly confident, you wouldn’t question me like this. Don’t forget, I promised to let my treasure girl spend a night with you."
"No matter how you put it, you can’t deny that Shen Mengjie has feelings for me," Xue Shaohua tossed his hair back defiantly. "If you keep this up, don’t blame me for unleashing my charm!"
Ye Liangchen, equally confident, flicked his hair back as well. "You can try and see whose charm is greater."
Xue Shaohua narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Liangchen sighed. After all, he had a mature soul; it was better not to stoop to the level of this foolish college student.
"Alright, don’t feel too wronged. If this plan succeeds, I won’t mind letting my treasure girl spend another night with you."
At this, Xue Shaohua slowly closed his eyes, his hands tightening into fists. "Every time I think about Hu Yuying choosing to live with Long Aotian instead of staying in the dorms, my heart bleeds."
"How dare he!"
To this, Ye Liangchen had already come to terms with the situation. "Long Aotian can’t have Hu Yuying too many times. Once our plan succeeds, I’ll let you personally show her the photos of Long Aotian cheating."
With that, he extended his hand toward Xue Shaohua. "Give me your phone."
"What for?" Xue Shaohua asked as he handed over his phone.
Ye Liangchen opened the photo album, clicked on 'Recently Deleted,' restored the photos he had just taken, and sent one to himself.
He had never forgotten his white moonlight.
Li Qingxue was lost in Long Aotian’s hypocrisy.
Let her see for herself what kind of person Long Aotian really was.
He would thoroughly expose Long Aotian’s facade, making her see the reality and understand that only he truly cared for her!
This photo wasn’t a breakthrough for Hu Yuying; it was a breakthrough for Li Qingxue. Once the seed of doubt was planted, it only needed a gentle push to grow into a towering tree...

**Chapter 338: Only I Truly Care About You in This World**
Leaving the artificial lake, Long Aotian headed straight to A University without stopping.
From a distance, he spotted a little girl waiting at the campus gate.
She wore a knee-length coat, and due to the wind, her dark hair was tucked behind her ears. Occasionally, she would tiptoe to look around.
When she didn’t see the person she was waiting for, she obediently stood still, continuing to wait.
But when she finally spotted him approaching, a smile instantly lit up her delicate face, like gentle ripples spreading across a calm pond.
"Long Ge!" Her smile was warm as she waved her hand repeatedly, afraid her Long Ge wouldn’t see her there.
"Did you wait long? Sorry I’m late today." Long Aotian walked up to Hu Yuying, retrieved her helmet from the back seat, and carefully placed it on her head.
"It’s okay. I’m just happy that you came to pick me up. I just came out, so I didn’t wait long." She giggled, skillfully sitting on the back seat, raising her little hand. "Let’s go home."
Seeing her so happy, Long Aotian tightly grasped her hand. He suddenly realized he couldn’t keep hiding things from her.
But he didn’t know how to tell her.
Wasn’t her current happiness exactly what he wanted to protect?
"Long Ge, you’re doing well." Hu Yuying gently pinched Long Aotian’s cheek.
Long Ge was perfect in every way, except for one thing—he lacked restraint and always craved more. Yet afterward, he was always gentle and considerate, making her feel both frustrated and reluctant to let go.
"Let’s go home." Long Aotian took a deep breath and released Hu Yuying’s small hand.
He thought he should find an opportunity to confess to her.
He was the one who had made mistakes; he shouldn’t hide the truth from her. That wouldn’t be fair to Hu Yuying...
"Okay, let’s go home." Upon hearing this, the little girl tightened her embrace around Long Aotian’s waist.
The next moment, she caught a whiff of a faint, pleasant fragrance.
She sniffed again; the scent was light but definitely not her own. She gently tugged at Long Aotian’s clothes.
"What’s wrong?" Long Aotian turned his head to listen.
Looking at Long Ge’s profile, Hu Yuying smiled lightly. "Nothing, just suddenly wanted to hold onto you."
"Silly girl, wait until we get home, and I’ll hold you as much as you want. Hold on tight; Long Ge is going to speed up."
"Mm." She clung tightly to Long Ge, feeling the wind rush past her ears.
Stealing a glance at Long Ge’s back, she unconsciously tightened her grip a little more.
For Long Ge, she had complete faith—one hundred percent.

Not long after Long Aotian left with Hu Yuying, Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua arrived at the entrance of A University.
"You can head back now. I’ll contact you when I need you," Ye Liangchen said, flicking his hair back at Xue Shaohua.
Xue Shaohua shrugged nonchalantly, tossing his hair again, letting the cold wind mess it up without bothering to fix it, and walked straight into the campus.
As Xue Shaohua left, Ye Liangchen took out his phone and found the contact he had pinned to the top.
"Although you’ve done countless things to hurt me, we’ve known each other for nine years. No, with this year included, it’s been ten years."
"How many decades does one get in life?"
"I’ll just assume you were blinded by Long Aotian before. Now, I, Ye Liangchen, will put aside past grievances and once again declare to the world that I have restored your title as my white moonlight!"
With that, Ye Liangchen slowly closed his eyes, tilted his gaze upward at a 45-degree angle, and took a deep breath.
Then he opened his phone and dialed a number.
"Yes, it’s very important."

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.
Since Hu Yuying stopped staying in the dorm, Li Qingxue, who found much less joy in her life, returned directly to her room after exercising, no longer going out to shop.
As she happily coordinated her outfit for the next day, her phone suddenly rang.
Li Qingxue glanced at the screen, her face lighting up with joy. She quickly threw herself onto her bed and answered the call. "Hello, Rui Rui! Did you receive the clothes we sent you? How do they look?"
Earlier, she had asked Wang Rui to help her and Hu Yuying, as well as Lin Wanning, with outfits for their online store, and Wang Rui had immediately agreed to help.
The results were fantastic; it was clear that Wang Rui had put a lot of effort into it.
As a thank you, every time they released new products, including herself, Hu Yuying, and Lin Wanning, they would send Wang Rui the latest styles.
Now that Wang Rui was calling, it must be about the clothes they had sent her.
"I received the clothes, and they look great! Now I don’t even need to buy winter clothes, hehe, I’m so happy."
"And a lot of people in my class are asking where I got my outfit. I’m also promoting you guys!"
Wang Rui’s voice still carried a playful tone. Even though they weren’t in the same university, the friendship forged over three years in high school wasn’t easily forgotten.
The two chatted for a while longer.
Just as they were about to hang up, Wang Rui suddenly remembered the reason she had called Li Qingxue.
