Long Ao Tian swallowed hard, his skin fair and delicate, seemingly fragile, with a slim waist and curvy hips. He stepped forward slowly, feeling that having breakfast a little later wouldn’t make much difference.
“Long Ge~” Hu Yu Ying called out softly, her face instantly turning crimson. “I meant to ask you to help me fasten it, not take it off…”
“I just saw an ant, so I took care of it for you first!”
Hu Yu Ying shot him a speechless glance, wondering why he couldn’t come up with a better excuse.
On the first day of reconciliation, he was already entangled with the little girl.
The little white rabbit struggled fiercely, but was soon pounced on by the big bad wolf, who had his way with her...
...
Time dragged on, and over an hour passed.
Finally managing to put on her clothes, Hu Yu Ying stomped on Long Ao Tian’s foot in annoyance.
Long Ao Tian, with a satisfied grin on his face, was like a legendary pig that didn’t fear boiling water. “You can step on me all you want; it’s all good!”
Seeing Long Ge like this, Hu Yu Ying felt both shy and angry. The image of her big brother she had built up in her heart shattered in an instant.
She used to think of him as the most serious big brother, but now, looking at him, how could he be serious? The most unserious one was Long Ge.
The unserious Long Ao Tian sighed contentedly, “I think I’ve been poisoned by the little girl; only you can be my antidote.”
The little girl’s cheeks flushed, and she huffed, “You’re such an unserious Long Ge.”
Hearing this, Long Ao Tian wouldn’t let it slide. He quickly put on his jacket, tidied up his clothes, and adjusted his hairstyle. “How about now?”
Hu Yu Ying was momentarily confused by his series of actions. “W-What do you mean?”
“Am I serious now?”
At his words, Hu Yu Ying covered her mouth and giggled, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkling with laughter. “You’re serious, you’re serious!”
Long Ao Tian gently pulled her into his embrace. “You look so beautiful when you smile.”
“Let’s go, it’s time to eat. I’m starving.” Though she said this, her heart was filled with unspoken joy.
The streets of Kyoto seemed to have no concept of indifference.
No matter the time, there were always hurried pedestrians bustling about.
But if you looked closely, you could see the faint weariness and fatigue in their eyes.
Only when you step out of campus and into society can you truly grasp how fast the pace of life in Kyoto is.
“Long Ge, do you think we’ll be working in Kyoto for a long time?” Hu Yu Ying asked softly.
Having already bought a house in Kyoto, it seemed their lives would likely settle there.
Long Ao Tian seemed to sense the little girl’s concerns. “When the time comes, I’ll bring Grandpa and Grandma, and my old man over too.”
“And if one day we get tired of city life, I’ll take you back to my hometown in the countryside.”
“You can cook for me while I grow vegetables. Once they’re ready, we can sell them in town.”
Thinking of such a pastoral life, Hu Yu Ying nodded happily.
“Then we can plant fruit trees in the yard, and you can sell vegetables while I sell fruits.”
“Fruits can’t be too expensive; the townsfolk won’t buy them if they’re pricey.”
At this, Hu Yu Ying and Long Ao Tian exchanged smiles.
They both held beautiful dreams and aspirations for the future...

Chapter 355: Look, They’re All Moved for Us
Leaning against the stone steps at the campus entrance, she flicked her bangs, revealing a confident yet slightly self-deprecating expression.
Such a unique gesture caught the attention of passersby, who couldn’t help but glance over.
Another figure, noticing this, also tossed their hair back, deliberately exposing their red diamond earrings.
Feeling the gaze of those around them, both felt a surge of satisfaction.
“Aren’t you afraid of alarming the snake in the grass?”
With a confident hand in pocket, she replied, “Some things you just don’t understand. Some ties won’t fade with time; sometimes, all it takes is a little opportunity for everything to explode!”
“We’ve known each other for ten years. Now, the one who’s been betrayed needs my care!”
As she spoke, she tousled her hair slightly, revealing a pair of exquisite men’s earrings.
Seeing the earrings on Ye Liang Chen’s ears, Xue Shao Hua frowned slightly. “Where did you get those earrings?”
Ye Liang Chen smiled slightly, not directly answering Xue Shao Hua’s question.
Instead, he took a deep breath. “You know me; I’ve always been carefree. Sometimes, just a fleeting thought can take me to heights others struggle to reach for years.”
“These earrings are just a style change; I can’t quite remember where I got them. But judging by your reaction, I must have made quite a unique change this time, right?”
He deliberately shook his head lightly, causing the earrings to sway enticingly.
After all, in this era, earrings are more special and eye-catching than ear studs.
The extraordinary aura radiated from him, making Xue Shao Hua take a couple of steps back to steady himself.
In just a few days, Ye Liang Chen’s presence had elevated significantly, prompting Xue Shao Hua to look at him with a serious expression.
He only saw Ye Liang Chen smirking, already stretching out his arms to embrace the sky.
With such a flamboyant gesture, all eyes were undoubtedly on Ye Liang Chen.
Xue Shao Hua couldn’t help but resent his own inability to let go.
He knew he was excellent too; among his classmates, he was always the center of attention. But every time he was next to Ye Liang Chen, he felt overshadowed!
It wasn’t that Xue Shao Hua was inferior to Ye Liang Chen; after all, Ye Liang Chen possessed a mature soul and had once stood at the pinnacle of success in a past life. Some qualities were simply beyond Xue Shao Hua’s reach.
Ye Liang Chen, compared to those still in college, understood his advantages better and knew how to attract attention in an instant.
Slowly lowering his arms from the sky, he refrained from making any more grand gestures; there was no need. Sometimes, a relaxed demeanor was part of the charm.
“Alright, go keep an eye on Li Qing Xue for me. Once I win her heart, it’ll be time for Wan Ning.”
“At this point, they should wake up to reality…” Ye Liang Chen’s words carried a hint of helplessness. “The title has been restored; Li Qing Xue, it’s time for you to wake up from the dream Long Ao Tian wove for you!”
“The promise you made to me…”
Before Xue Shao Hua could finish, Ye Liang Chen chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, I, Ye Liang Chen, always keep my word.”
Honestly, being called a treasure girl by Ye Liang Chen was enough to prove her importance in his heart.
But ironically, she was the one who had been with Long Ao Tian the most.
There was no choice but to sacrifice her to accompany Xue Shao Hua for a week.
Though he loved her deeply, he was also someone who dared to love and hate.
Let this be a compensation for her betrayal.
Sigh... It can’t be helped; I am who I am, the daring and passionate Liang Chen—Ye Liang Chen!
As Xue Shao Hua left, Ye Liang Chen confidently tossed his hair, his smile radiating boldness.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a few girls glancing at him. He grinned widely, lightly shaking his head, causing his earrings to sway.
With just that one motion, the girls quickly lowered their heads and huddled together to leave.
Ye Liang Chen merely smiled nonchalantly, knowing he had made them blush with just a slight gesture.
Time flew by, and soon it was afternoon.
Since Li Qing Xue had classes later, she had to part ways with Lin Wan Ning and head back to school.
Meanwhile, Ye Liang Chen, who had started off full of enthusiasm, could no longer maintain his position leaning against the steps as time dragged on. He lifted his gaze at a forty-five-degree angle.
So, he switched to sitting on the ground, one leg stretched out, the other curled up, with one arm resting on his knee.
The cold wind blew through his bangs, obscuring his eyes, but after shaking his hair, they were revealed once more.
He loved this feeling, a sense of solitary freedom.
Just then, Ye Liang Chen’s phone buzzed.
Seeing a message from Xue Shao Hua, he quickly adjusted his posture.
His gaze fixed intently on the intersection.
Before long, the figure he had been longing for appeared at the corner.
Ye Liang Chen chuckled softly, his voice low but enough for that figure to hear.
As Li Qing Xue looked up, she saw Ye Liang Chen tossing his hair while looking at her with a tender smile.
“Qing Xue.” Ye Liang Chen called out, then stood up from the ground, hands in his pockets as he approached her, tilting his head toward the sun. He pulled his hands from his pockets and feigned nonchalance, saying, “Your knight has returned!”
