Chapter 299
It didn't take long before a voice called out "sister," causing Hu Yuying to pause for a moment.
She soon saw Lin Wanning, wearing a helmet and riding an electric bike, stopping right in front of her.
"Surprised, huh?" Lin Wanning reached out and playfully pinched Hu Yuying's cheek, her smile bright and cheerful.
Hu Yuying nodded gently, indeed a bit taken aback.
"My brother's school is preparing for a sports meet, and he has to blow the whistle at the swimming pool today, so I took on the task of picking you up," Lin Wanning explained, placing the helmet on Hu Yuying's head.
"Then let me take you; let's go grab a bite first," Hu Yuying said with a chuckle.
"Sure!"
Hu Yuying hopped on the electric bike and turned around, leading Wanning to the restaurant they had visited earlier, where the clay pot rice noodles were delicious.
After finishing their meal, they returned to the courtyard.
As soon as Hu Yuying sat down, Lin Wanning came up behind her and gently massaged her shoulders. "We should take Qingxue here to eat sometime too. The rice noodles we had before were thin, but I didn't expect the thick ones to be so tasty."
"Yeah," Hu Yuying replied, lightly grasping the small hand that was massaging her and pulling it closer, inviting Lin Wanning to sit on the nearby bench.
"Qingxue hasn't been in a good mood lately. Tomorrow, since there are no major classes, let's go out together."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanning said with a hint of annoyance, "That Ye Liangchen is just too much! If I ever run into him, I definitely won't let him off the hook like Qingxue did!"
Hu Yuying playfully poked Lin Wanning's forehead. "Oh you, Qingxue has known him for too long; she tends to give him some face. But after this incident, I believe she won't give Ye Liangchen any face anymore."
Hu Yuying understood that Wanning was worried about Qingxue, and she shared that concern. However, she hoped that such incidents would never happen to the three of them again.
Because they didn't need the so-called redemption that Ye Liangchen spoke of...
"You won't believe it, but I just found out from my brother today that Ye Liangchen actually came to the music school a while back trying to get close to me. I just never ran into him," Lin Wanning said, her voice filled with disbelief. "What kind of person is he?"
Hu Yuying was momentarily stunned.
She had thought Ye Liangchen was only bothering Qingxue, but now it seemed he was truly despicable, not only entangling with Qingxue but also trying to get close to Wanning. Goodness, how could there be such a person in this world...
If it weren't for Long Ge always being by her side, would Ye Liangchen have tried to bother her too?
It wasn't impossible; it had happened before. Long Ge had even slapped Ye Liangchen for it, and only after she got together with Long Ge did Ye Liangchen stop bothering her...
"And that guy named Xue Shaohua isn't any good either. My brother dealt with both of them before..."
Recalling how Long Ge had warned her about Xue Shaohua, saying he wasn't a good classmate and to keep her distance, Hu Yuying felt uneasy whenever she thought about the way Xue Shaohua looked at her and Li Qingxue.
"I think you and Qingxue should just move in with me," Hu Yuying said softly. "You both are alone, and I worry about you..."

Chapter 365: Otherwise, I really want another little sister
"I think Qingxue would be really happy to hear that," Lin Wanning said excitedly. "You have no idea, she once told me how much she loves the idea of us three sharing a bed, talking all night and falling asleep in each other's arms."
Hu Yuying smiled too; she liked that feeling as well.
Sometimes, she wondered if their friendship was destined.
Because at school, in the dorms, and in class, they had made many friends.
But none of those friends brought her the same joy as being with Qingxue and Wanning.
She believed Qingxue felt the same way. Ever since she stopped staying in the dorm, it was obvious that the smile on Qingxue's face had faded significantly.
Knowing this, Hu Yuying had taken the initiative to suggest that Qingxue move in.
But this incident with Ye Liangchen had just accelerated everything.
The rooms weren't even fully renovated yet, so moving in would be a bit troublesome since the workers still had to finish their work.
But there were solutions to these problems.
They could leave one room unrenovated for now, and once the others were done, they could renovate that room last!
After sharing her thoughts with Lin Wanning, Wanning immediately agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, sister! You're the best sister ever!" She said, planting a kiss on Hu Yuying's cheek.
Hu Yuying chuckled, rubbing her cheek where Wanning had kissed her. "Look at how happy you are."
"Of course I'm happy! Thank you for being in my life; it really makes me so happy." As she said this, her voice caught in her throat for a moment.
Seeing this, Hu Yuying stood up and pulled Lin Wanning into her embrace. "I used to feel quite lonely. I thought I had gotten used to it, but one day, Long Ge told me that life isn't just about loneliness; it's also about freedom and longing."
"He wanted me to be filled with hope and love for everything in the world, and that's when I started to have my own expectations and dreams."
"If they don't like you, then don't like them back."
"There's nothing to worry about; there will always be countless people who will like you."
Lin Wanning nuzzled against Hu Yuying's neck. Though she wasn't usually an emotional person, she always showed her true self in front of Hu Yuying, whether she was happy or sad.
Her sister would always take care of her.
Leaning her head against Hu Yuying's shoulder, she softly said, "In the past, I felt like a puppet on a predetermined path, but when I met you guys, it was like a moment of awakening, and it felt so liberating."
Hu Yuying looked down at Wanning, understanding that feeling all too well. It was as if the shackles binding her suddenly shattered, a liberating sensation that was indescribable yet undeniably real.
Suddenly, Lin Wanning lifted her face and gently licked Hu Yuying's earlobe.
The tingling sensation made Hu Yuying instinctively shrink her neck.
Seeing Hu Yuying's reaction, Lin Wanning burst into laughter. "Every part of you is so sensitive!"
Hu Yuying shot Lin Wanning a playful glare. "You're the only one who knows how to tease."
Lin Wanning lay in Hu Yuying's arms and took a photo with her phone. "Sister, do you think if Qingxue saw this picture, she'd rush over here overnight?"
"Definitely," Hu Yuying replied confidently, knowing how much Qingxue loved lively gatherings. "I really hope we can keep this going forever."
Long Ge had taught her many life lessons; he was the first to subtly guide her towards change.
And Qingxue was the first to accept that change and stand by her side. Her optimism, her brightness, her smile—each little thing influenced Hu Yuying, helping her become a better person.
She still remembered how she felt when she decided not to stay in the dorm; her reluctance to part with Qingxue was just as strong.
That feeling of reluctance was so real, knowing they were only a short distance apart yet not wanting to separate.
It was so real that even now, thinking back on it made her heart race.
Lin Wanning looked up at Hu Yuying with a playful smile. "It's simple; just have Qingxue call us 'sisters,' and that way, we’ll never be apart."
Hu Yuying playfully pinched Lin Wanning's cheek. "Silly girl, she wouldn't do that."
Lin Wanning came from an unhappy family; she had given up everything, and now she was all alone.
But Qingxue was different; her family treated her well, and she had her own ties.
How could Hu Yuying not notice Qingxue's feelings for Long Ge? She was the first to know.
But after Hu Yuying and Long Ge got together, she could genuinely feel Qingxue's blessings and relief.
Unlike the girl in her arms, who called him "brother" on the surface but had her own handcuffs behind the scenes...
Feeling Hu Yuying's gaze, Lin Wanning shyly snuggled closer and said, "Okay~ Sister, I was wrong. You can punish me however you want..."
"Alright, enough with the cuteness. I’ll punish you later..." Hu Yuying said, pretending to be serious.
Lin Wanning stopped being playful and said earnestly, "Qingxue and I are different. Don’t be fooled by her constant happiness; she’s actually the most proud and strong-willed. She knows how to hold on and let go, and she has her own little quirks..."
"I know that! Otherwise, I’d really want another little sister," Hu Yuying said, puffing up her chest a bit.
"Oh, come on! With me as your sister, isn’t that enough? If you get another one, you’ll have to worry about whether Long Ge can handle it..."
Lin Wanning said, affectionately wrapping her arms around Hu Yuying's slender waist, her eyes sparkling as she quietly asked, "Sister, have you been happy with Long Ge these past few days?"
