Chapter 304
Huang Fei, Xu Shuai, and Li Longlong had already drifted off to sleep, with Xu Shuai's snores echoing softly in the room.
“I can’t sleep…” The habit of having someone beside her made the sudden solitude feel empty and hollow.
She threw off the covers and sat up.
Glancing at her phone, she saw it was already past eleven.
“I miss you, can’t sleep.” After sending the message, Long Aotian lay back down, and soon his phone buzzed with a reply.
“What should I do?” In the darkness, only the glow of the phone illuminated Hu Yuying’s cheeks.
On either side of her lay Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning, both fast asleep. It was strange; despite the exhaustion from their shopping trip earlier, Hu Yuying just couldn’t fall asleep… and then came Long Ge’s message.
Seeing the little girl’s reply, a smile spread across Long Aotian’s face.
“Why not come home?”
Hu Yuying pressed her phone to her chest, glanced at the sleeping Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning, then quietly slipped out of bed, carefully dressing as she replied with a simple “Okay.”
By the time she sent that message, Long Aotian was already dressed and standing by Xu Shuai’s bed, playfully placing a sock near his mouth. “That’s what you get for snoring!”
After that, he opened the dormitory door and stepped outside.
With a small leap, he vaulted over a low wall.
He grabbed a bicycle and pedaled furiously down the road home.
As he returned to the alley where the Siheyuan was located, he spotted the warm glow of lights at the entrance and a familiar figure waiting.
Seeing Long Ge return, Hu Yuying wrapped her arms tightly around herself, clearing her throat softly. Her bright eyes sparkled with mischief.
In that moment, seeing the little girl’s playful grin, Long Aotian felt as if the whole world belonged to him.
He joyfully pulled her into his embrace, and she whispered in his ear, “Long Ge.”
Whether it was the emotions at play or something else, there was a tender, lingering feeling that reached deep into his heart.
“Let’s go home.” Long Aotian held Hu Yuying close as they walked toward his place.
Nestled in his arms, she could clearly hear the rapid beating of his heart.
With a swift kick, he closed the door behind them as they entered the small room.
Hu Yuying gently nudged the door shut with her foot.
“I think I saw an ant again…” Long Aotian said, his face serious, not a hint of embarrassment.
“Then let a snake bite it…” Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was soft, yet it had a way of drawing him in.
By the time they dealt with the pesky ant, it was already late into the night.
Long Aotian pulled the blanket over Hu Yuying, propping his head on his hand as he quietly admired the blush on her face.
“Stop staring…” Hu Yuying raised her hand to cover his eyes, unable to hide her shyness.
Amused, he said, “Why are you still so easily embarrassed?”
“I don’t know…” Hu Yuying wiped the sweat from his cheek with her fingertip. Sometimes, she didn’t understand why she felt this way; her heart wasn’t easily flustered, yet in front of Long Ge, her body always betrayed her.
“Looks like Long Ge hasn’t been trying hard enough. After all this time, and you still make the little girl shy.”
Hearing this, Hu Yuying shot him a glare. “That’s enough! You’re sweating so much, the blanket’s turned into a little furnace.”
She knew Long Ge was training hard for the upcoming sports meet. If he didn’t take it easy today, he’d definitely fall behind tomorrow.
“Let’s get some sleep. I have to head back early tomorrow. If Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning wake up and don’t see me, they’ll definitely know I came back in the middle of the night.”
“So what if they do? They know you’re mine. Qingxue still likes to keep you out all night, leaving me to guard an empty house…” Her words dripped with jealousy.
Hu Yuying pinched Long Aotian’s cheek. “Why are you getting jealous of Qingxue now?”
“We haven’t been together for a while, and besides, I came back to keep you company, didn’t I?”
“It’s been two days! Yesterday with Wanning, today with Qingxue and Wanning. Are you trying to forget about me?” Long Aotian lay lazily in Hu Yuying’s embrace, voicing his grievances.
“What should I do?” At this, Hu Yuying looked at him. “How about letting Wanning stay over too? She can keep you company when I’m not around.”
At her words, Long Aotian coughed awkwardly. “What are you talking about? In this house, you’re the one in charge.”
“Come on, bad boy Long Ge, you’re just taking advantage of me,” Hu Yuying said, playfully squeezing his cheek. “I was feeling down earlier, so I needed to get some clarity from you.”
“And now?”
Hu Yuying’s cheeks flushed, but she still tried to act fierce. “You still ask? Do you believe I’ll bite you?”
Feeling the shift in her grip, he quickly let go.
Just as she was about to draw a line, Long Aotian pulled the blanket over them both, covering her completely…
“Wait, hold on, wait a second…”
...
The next morning.
Hu Yuying, stretching her back, got out of bed and looked at the culprit still sleeping soundly. She gave him a playful smack on the backside.
Long Aotian mumbled sleepily.
Seeing him like this, Hu Yuying felt a mix of embarrassment and amusement.
She had said no, yet here he was, still fast asleep after being smacked.
Squatting by the bed, she brushed her hair across Long Aotian’s face.
“I’m heading out! I set an alarm on your phone, and the e-bike is charged. Don’t be late!”
Watching him struggle to open his eyes, Hu Yuying couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s what you get for not listening…”
She stood up, placed his clothes on the bedside, and stepped out.
...
Carrying breakfast, she opened the door.
Seeing Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning still fast asleep, she kicked off her shoes and climbed into bed, diving under the covers.
Having just come in from the cold, her icy body startled both of them awake.
As they opened their eyes, Hu Yuying nestled comfortably between them. “I brought breakfast! Get up and eat a little.”
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning glanced at the time—it was barely past five. They immediately wrapped their arms around Hu Yuying, mumbling about wanting to sleep a bit longer.
Just as she had put on her clothes, they quickly stripped her down, and with the warmth of the blankets and two beautiful girls beside her, Hu Yuying unknowingly drifted back to sleep...

Chapter 372: Alright, alright, I’ll be gentler next time.
“That’s strange. Why is my sister so tired today? No matter how much I call her, she won’t wake up,” Lin Wanning said, munching on her breakfast.
Li Qingxue leaned over, poking Hu Yuying’s cheek with her finger.
Suddenly, she let out a soft laugh. “Yuying’s cheeks are so fun to poke! So soft! Want to give it a try?”
“Really?” Lin Wanning leaned in from the other side and poked Hu Yuying’s cheek too. She then met Li Qingxue’s smiling gaze and couldn’t help but giggle, quickly covering her mouth. “It really is!”
In her dreams, Hu Yuying felt someone playing with her, so she gently brushed her cheek and murmured, “Long Ge, I want to sleep more.”
Two muffled giggles erupted.
Li Qingxue glanced at Lin Wanning and said in a teasing voice, “If you don’t get up, I’ll have to give you a little smack!”
Lin Wanning, catching on, playfully pinched Hu Yuying’s bottom.
“Mm~” The soft, sultry sound was enough to melt anyone’s bones.
After being teased all night, Hu Yuying’s body was already sensitive, and that gentle pinch sent a flush of warmth to her cheeks.
Even though they were both women, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning couldn’t help but stare.
The alluring aura seemed to emanate from Hu Yuying’s very bones, her body acting like a key that, when touched, revealed her charm.
In that moment, neither Li Qingxue nor Lin Wanning could resist the urge to tease Hu Yuying.
As they thought this, their hands moved accordingly.
Hu Yuying felt two mischievous hands grabbing her, and she sleepily opened her eyes.
To her surprise, she found Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning sitting on either side of her, grinning widely.
“What are you two doing?” She swatted their hands away and sat up, stretching luxuriously.
Her casually tied hair gave her a mature charm.
The grace in her movements was hard to describe.
At least, when Hu Yuying was still a girl, she had never possessed such allure and poise.
Li Qingxue instinctively shifted her gaze to Lin Wanning.
Though subtle, there was something different about her too.
