Walking through the campus, Hu Yuying couldn't help but purse her lips and let out a soft chuckle every few steps. Her crescent-shaped eyes sparkled with pure happiness.
"Once we get further ahead, there'll be more people around... So he had to kiss when it was less crowded, and even insisted I use my tongue. Ugh, Brother Long is so annoying..."
Though she complained, her face blood with joy.
Kissing Brother Long was an utterly delightful experience.
Every ti their lips t, the entanglent of their tongues sent an unusual sensation coursing through her body.
It was a strange yet indescribable feeling—one that left her completely imrsed, as if floating among the clouds.
"Hu Yuying."
Her mood had been radiant, but when she turned and saw who had called her, that brightness dimd slightly.
Xue Shaohua sighed softly, tilting his head at a confident 45-degree angle before flicking his hair with practiced ease. A bitter smile played on his lips.
Having spent so much ti with Ye Liangchen, if nothing else, he had learned one thing—when it ca to style, Ye Liangchen was second to none at A University.
In this era of edgy, nonconformist fashion, flair symbolized freedom and nonchalance.
And that effortless hair flick? The perfect finishing touch.
Hand in his pocket, Xue Shaohua flicked his hair again and slowly approached Hu Yuying.
He didn’t speak—just fixed her with a wounded gaze.
Sotis, words couldn’t convey emotions as deeply as a single look.
With lancholic eyes and another hair toss, he murmured, "Long ti no see."
Hu Yuying frowned slightly and turned to leave.
She hadn’t forgotten Brother Long’s warning.
Brother Long had said Xue Shaohua wasn’t a good person and that she should stay away from him.
And so she would—obediently, just as Brother Long asked.
After all, he’d said the sa about Ye Liangchen before, and the results spoke for themselves.
Seeing her cold reaction, Xue Shaohua finally understood why Ye Liangchen would often clutch his chest in exaggerated pain.
Because it really did hurt.
"Hu Yuying, you’re exceptional."
Hearing this, Hu Yuying did feel a flicker of emotion—not because of Xue Shaohua himself, but because Brother Long had once said the sa thing to her.
Brother Long had also told her she was exceptional.
But was she really?
Noticing her hesitation, Xue Shaohua’s eyes lit up. He quickly caught up to her, his tone earnest.
"Hu Yuying, you truly are outstanding. And because of that, you deserve soone equally outstanding by your side."
His voice grew nervous as he straightened his clothes, then flashed a boyishly bright smile.
"I may not be perfect, but I’m certainly not lacking. Compared to soone who might hold you back, I think you’d be better off with a partner who can walk the path of success with you."
Hu Yuying sidestepped him. "Thanks, but my life isn’t your concern."
"And no one is holding back. I’ve already found the person I want to spend my life with."
A tender smile touched her lips. "His na is Long Aotian—my boyfriend."
Before, when Brother Long hadn’t accepted her feelings, she couldn’t say this outright. She’d only hinted that her heart belonged to soone.
But now, she could proudly declare it to anyone: her boyfriend was Long Aotian, her greatest blessing.
The happiness on Hu Yuying’s face pierced Xue Shaohua’s heart like a blade.
Why couldn’t she see him? He was clearly superior to Long Aotian in every way!
What did Long Aotian have that he didn’t?
"From the mont you entered A University, there’s been a class divide between you and certain people. Your future isn’t ant for so small town."
"If he truly cared about you, he wouldn’t drag you down. He’d let you soar freely instead!"
"Hu Yuying, you’re still naive. You’re looking at things too narrowly. Can you honestly say you won’t regret this later?"
At that, Hu Yuying’s smile only deepened.
Yes, he was so foolish.
He had almost let her go, leaving the choice entirely in her hands.
Thankfully, she had stayed firm in her decision.
So her answer was simple: "No regrets."
He was more remarkable than anyone else—this rough-around-the-edges guy who called himself a simple man.
He was just... so incredible.
If she didn’t work hard, she might not even deserve him.
"Thank you," Hu Yuying suddenly said, turning to Xue Shaohua with a smile.
Xue Shaohua blinked, stunned. When she’d said "no regrets," his heart had ached unbearably.
But now she was thanking him?
Flustered, he scratched his head like an awkward schoolboy and grinned sheepishly. "Wh-what for?"
"For helping realize just how wonderful Brother Long is."
"Xue Shaohua, let make this clear: he’s the man I’ve chosen. Even if he weren’t in the picture, it still wouldn’t be you. So please, stop trying so hard to impress . I have a boyfriend—his na is Long Aotian."
The mont the words left her lips, a weight lifted from her shoulders.
This ti, she’d made herself perfectly clear.
Her steps felt lighter as she happily made her way back to the dorm.
Distributing the treats she’d brought to her three roommates, she announced proudly,
"My boyfriend asked to pass these along—said to take good care of his little girl."
The dorm instantly buzzed with excitent.
The gifts weren’t expensive, but the gesture ward their hearts, effortlessly strengthening their bond.
"Your boyfriend is amazing."
"Got a photo of him? Let us see!"
"Okay, fine, I admit it—your boyfriend’s won over. I’ll be extra nice to you from now on..."
Hearing them praise Brother Long, Hu Yuying nodded emphatically. "Yes, Brother Long is the best."
The innocent girl wanted the whole world to know—her man was truly, truly wonderful.
......
Stepping out of the dorm, she spotted a familiar figure sitting on the hallway bench.
Li Qingxue hurried over. "Oh, so you do rember ? I was starting to think you’d forgotten I existed."
Hu Yuying giggled softly and took Li Qingxue’s hand affectionately. "Don’t be silly. How could I ever forget you?"
Pure friendship could sotis be even more enviable than love.
"Ta-da!" Hu Yuying pulled out a box of cake, desserts, and milk tea. "Brother Long asked to bring these for you."
"Hmph! Fine, I’ll forgive him for monopolizing you all this ti!"
The envy in Li Qingxue’s eyes was hidden beneath a bright smile... Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelꞁire
