Chapter 303
Is there something happening during this time that I don’t know about?
Suddenly, Shen Mengjie noticed that Ye Liangchen's hand had brushed against Xue Shaohua's, and both of them quickly withdrew their hands as if they had been electrocuted.
How strange, why are they blushing?
“Can I know why? Didn’t we plan this from the very beginning? If it all falls apart now, wouldn’t all our hard work be in vain?”
In response to Shen Mengjie’s words, Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua exchanged confident smiles. They weren’t worried at all about this plan failing.
Once a girl loses her innocence, even if it’s forced, the rumors can drown her in a sea of spit. Otherwise, Hu Yuying wouldn’t be so willingly following Long Aotian.
The same goes for boys; if they lose their innocence, the gossip can lead to intense scrutiny and judgment. Especially for someone like Long Aotian, who cares so much about his image—if people found out he was a broken flower, it would be worse than killing him!
With this thought, Ye Liangchen suddenly felt the need to call Gao Quan and invite him to Kyoto for a few days. If Long Aotian lost control and wanted to harm someone, Gao Quan could shield him!
This way, not only would he avoid paying back Gao Quan’s two hundred yuan, but he would also have evidence of Long Aotian’s murderous intent. Long Aotian would be forever beneath his heel, never able to rise again!
As these thoughts raced through his mind, a glint of brilliance flashed in Ye Liangchen’s eyes. This was a perfect trap; all it took was for Long Aotian to make one wrong move, and the consequences would be dire.
At that moment, he could threaten Long Aotian to call Hu Yuying to a hotel, turn off the lights, and make his grand entrance. He couldn’t help but wonder what Hu Yuying’s expression would be when she realized it was him.
And what would Long Aotian’s face look like as he watched from the sidelines, pushing him forward?
Just thinking about it made Ye Liangchen burst into excited laughter.

**Chapter 370: A Silent Understanding**
Ye Liangchen suddenly laughed out loud for no apparent reason.
Xue Shaohua frowned, confused about why Ye Liangchen, who had been speaking so seriously just moments ago, was now so cheerful. He quickly patted Ye Liangchen’s thigh.
Snapping back to reality, Ye Liangchen looked at Xue Shaohua, realizing they were still in the café.
He instinctively glanced at Shen Mengjie, only to find her frowning, looking at him as if he were a fool.
Ye Liangchen quickly cleared his throat. “Sorry, I just thought of something funny.”
Shen Mengjie’s gaze shifted between Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua, scrutinizing them closely. Especially when she saw Ye Liangchen gently pat Xue Shaohua’s hand and even scratch his palm, her mind began to race with strange thoughts.
In her life, she had witnessed too many despicable acts. The interactions between Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua seemed a bit off...
Xue Shaohua seemed to sense Shen Mengjie’s gaze and coughed awkwardly, retracting his hand. Then, feeling a bit uncomfortable, he said, “Don’t worry, our ultimate goal is just to punish that heartless scoundrel, Long Aotian. Even if he’s a dragon, he’ll have to bow to us!”
“Exactly,” Ye Liangchen replied confidently. He had waited far too long for this day. Just the thought of tormenting someone as image-conscious as Long Aotian thrilled him to no end.
This excitement even surpassed the idea of overpowering Hu Yuying.
Seeing the determination and excitement in Ye Liangchen’s eyes, Shen Mengjie’s gaze flickered slightly, and she chuckled softly, “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
As she stood up and stretched, she felt absolutely confident in her figure. But she was soon taken aback by the scene before her.
There was Ye Liangchen, personally draping a scarf around Xue Shaohua’s neck.
Xue Shaohua playfully tugged at the scarf and feigned a coy tone, saying, “It’s a bit warm.”
“It’ll be cold outside; just listen to me,” Ye Liangchen said with a doting smile.
Shen Mengjie was shocked and confused. A strange thought crept into her mind.
After doing all this, Ye Liangchen turned to Shen Mengjie, flicked his hair back, and smiled confidently, “Mengjie, don’t worry. This time, you can truly break free from that jerk Long Aotian’s clutches!”
Shen Mengjie’s lips twitched. “That would be wonderful.”
At that moment, Xue Shaohua let his earrings dangle and smiled at Shen Mengjie, flipping his hair. Since the plan had changed, he no longer needed to hide; he could fully unleash his charm.
He tilted his head at a forty-five-degree angle, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and presented his sharp jawline to Shen Mengjie.
Ye Liangchen saw Xue Shaohua’s actions and could only shake his head helplessly, muttering under his breath, “Such a show-off!”
Seeing Shen Mengjie momentarily lost in thought, Xue Shaohua felt quite pleased. He relished the feeling of captivating a girl: “Sometimes, you just have to let your feelings out. Don’t suppress your emotions; it makes life so much happier.”
In Xue Shaohua’s eyes, Shen Mengjie clearly had feelings for him but was holding back due to shyness, which he thought was wrong!
“Emotions need to be expressed.”
Watching Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua walk away, Shen Mengjie furrowed her brows tightly, feeling utterly bewildered.
“Did you see that? The moment I unleashed my charm, Shen Mengjie was completely mesmerized,” Xue Shaohua said proudly.
If it had been before, Ye Liangchen would have argued with him, wanting to prove who was more charming. But now, it didn’t matter; they were both on the same side.
Suddenly, Ye Liangchen caught sight of a hotel not far away.
He asked softly, “Are you tired after walking so far?”
Some things, even though they had already done what they needed to do, felt a bit awkward to bring up again. A silent understanding was just right.
Xue Shaohua shook his head. “Not tired; this is just the beginning.”
Seeing this, Ye Liangchen cleared his throat. “Actually, I’m a bit tired.”
He glanced at the hotel in the distance, cleared his throat again, and casually suggested, “How about we stop at that hotel for a bit?”
Upon hearing this, Xue Shaohua immediately understood Ye Liangchen’s intentions. He bit his lip, feigning innocence, and lightly tossed his hair. “Actually, I’m a little tired too.”
Hearing this, Ye Liangchen felt a surge of joy, especially when he saw Xue Shaohua biting his lip, looking slightly shy. His heart raced, but he still pretended to be serious. “Then let’s take a break.”
“Besides, it’s getting late; the dorm might be locked by now.”
Xue Shaohua shrugged nonchalantly. “Whatever works.”
Then he stole a glance at Ye Liangchen, only to find him suppressing a smile.
Xue Shaohua couldn’t help but smile back. Ever since he had embraced his more masculine side, he found himself missing it, especially at night when he looked at his dorm mates; the feeling was even stronger.
Noticing Xue Shaohua sneaking glances at him, Ye Liangchen put on a carefree facade, as if to say he was just looking for a place to rest.
Watching Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua walk hand in hand into the hotel, Shen Mengjie couldn’t help but cover her mouth in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief. She recalled their earlier conversation in the café.
A bizarre and hard-to-accept thought crossed her mind.
“Could they be planning to go after Long Aotian?”
“Damn it!” Shen Mengjie couldn’t help but curse. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was unbelievable.
When did those two develop to this point? Just a while ago, they were jealous because of her...
But now, these two were actually thinking of going after Long Aotian? This... this is too...
Turning on her heels, she walked away with quick steps, wondering how Long Aotian would react if he found out that Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua had such intentions toward him. Would he tear them apart?

Meanwhile, Long Aotian, who was enjoying a meal and joking around with his roommates, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his hand froze mid-air, holding a glass.
Huang Fei and the others looked at the dazed Long Aotian. “What’s wrong, Old Aotian? Can’t handle a little drink?”
Long Aotian shifted his back slightly. “I feel like something’s off these past couple of days!”
Hearing this, Huang Fei and the others burst into laughter. “You’re just being paranoid...”
Long Aotian shook his head, thinking that maybe it was because he hadn’t slept with that girl these past few nights, and his body was expressing its dissatisfaction...

Back in the dorm, Long Aotian tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
