Chapter 210: I Really Got Lucky
“Hu Yu Ying, congratulations! You finally got what you wanted,” Li Qing Xue said with a bright smile.
From the moment she knew that Hu Yu Ying held a special place in Dragon Brother’s heart, Li Qing Xue was pretty sure this day would come someday.
So she was at peace. So she wished her well.
Hu Yu Ying grasped Li Qing Xue’s hand tightly. “Qing Xue, you don’t know—actually, a long, long time ago, I liked Dragon Bro.”
That was the honest truth inside her heart. It was something she never dared to say before, but now she was willing to tell Li Qing Xue.
Because she treasured their friendship, she wanted to tell her that she liked Dragon Bro even earlier than Qing Xue.
“Long, long ago, how long exactly?” Li Qing Xue asked out of pure curiosity. No other reason—just curiosity.
She had her pride. Yes, she liked Dragon Brother. She still did. Maybe she would still have feelings for him a long time from now…
But if Dragon Brother already liked someone else, she’d keep her feelings hidden deep inside.
She never planned to cause trouble for anyone, because that’s just not who Li Qing Xue was.
Besides, that person was her best friend, her dear confidante.
“It’s really been quite a while,” Hu Yu Ying said as if recounting a story, starting from the day she transferred schools.
From being Dragon Brother’s minion at first.
From being forced by Dragon Bro to integrate into the group.
From seeking Dragon Bro’s help out of fear.
Back then she was genuinely terrified. She thought Dragon Bro might find her annoying and refuse to help.
But no—Dragon Bro helped her, without hesitation, always giving his all.
She talked about going shopping secretly with Dragon Bro, sneaking into clothing factories, feeling daring and excited.
She described the joy of selling clothes together.
And how under Dragon Bro’s guidance, she had slowly changed.
Li Qing Xue knew all of this.
She still remembered when she first met Hu Yu Ying—she looked like a shy injured kitten, quietly following Dragon Brother, not talking much, always silent…
Back then, Hu Yu Ying was truly unimpressive…
Turns out, their bond was already that deep, that profound…
“Dragon Bro is someone you can rely on. Slowly approaching him, you get used to him, and before you know it, he’s just always on your mind, like a shadow,” Li Qing Xue said softly.
Listening to Hu Yu Ying’s tale, with its mix of struggles and happiness, Li Qing Xue couldn’t help but feel some resentment. Why did such a good person like Hu Yu Ying have to be bullied?
“Those rotten scoundrels only pick on you because they think you’re easy prey. From now on, I won’t let anyone bully you,” Li Qing Xue declared with fiery resolve.
Deep down, she was also secretly relieved that Dragon Brother helped Hu Yu Ying.
She couldn’t imagine how miserable she would be if Dragon Brother hadn’t helped her.
“Good thing Dragon Bro likes to stick his nose into other people’s business. You don’t even know…” Li Qing Xue suddenly covered her mouth, realizing she almost spilled something she promised not to say to Dragon Brother.
She stole a quick glance at Hu Yu Ying.
And saw her friend smiling warmly, eyes twinkling—”I know what you want to say. I know everything.”
“You know?” Li Qing Xue shook her head in disbelief. She hadn’t said anything, but she was clear on Dragon Brother—she knew he’d never tell Hu Yu Ying if she was worried.
“Actually, I was nearby when you and Dragon Bro were talking that day. I heard everything,” Hu Yu Ying said with a grin, clutching Li Qing Xue’s small hand.
“Thank you, thank you for helping Dragon Bro,” she added sincerely.
Li Qing Xue sighed and looked upward, a little helpless. “So you already knew, huh.”
But she quickly felt relieved. Dragon Brother knew Hu Yu Ying knew, and he would definitely be heartbroken and distressed if she cried.
That fool thought he was hiding it, but she could tell. She knew Hu Yu Ying could sense everything.
“He really cares about you,” Hu Yu Ying nodded without denial.
From the very beginning, she had been under Dragon Bro’s concern, her luck and a new chapter in her life starting from there.
Li Qing Xue paused, staring seriously at Hu Yu Ying. “Actually, I think you care a lot about Dragon Bro too.”
She used to think Hu Yu Ying saw Dragon Bro like a little sister or dependent, but now she realized Hu Yu Ying’s concern mirrored her own feelings.
Because love is mutual, after all.
Dragon Bro’s kindness made her want to be even kinder to him.
Dragon Bro said she was worth it—how could he not be too?
He even kisses her so cautiously, worried about hurting her, giving her all his tenderness.
That man is truly hers…
“Dragon Brother is perfect in every way, except he just loves to meddle in other people’s business. You should talk to him about that—he listens to you,” Li Qing Xue said with a teasing smile.
Looking at Hu Yu Ying’s innocent expression, Li Qing Xue laughed. “He’s terrified you’ll cry. Once you do, he won’t know what to do. He’ll listen to whatever you say.”
Hu Yu Ying couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s words. She wasn’t really fond of crying, and she sure wouldn’t use tears to make Dragon Bro cave in.
“You just always spoil him, huh?” Li Qing Xue said with a playful grin.
“Sometimes I even envy you. Only you can really tame Dragon Bro,” she added.
Hu Yu Ying covered her mouth, laughing quietly. “Are you praising me, or saying I’m fiery?”
“Of course I’m praising you,” Li Qing Xue said sincerely. Her personality was gentle and calm, with only two moments of being assertive—one being when she was with Dragon Bro.
But Li Qing Xue’s charm was different—vibrant, full of joy, and infectious.
That’s probably what people call personal charisma—a trait Hu Yu Ying and Lin Wan Ning didn’t have.
Everyone has their strengths. While you envy others, others are secretly envying you too…
Li Qing Xue’s smile lingered as her thoughts drifted. “He just doesn’t want to bother with me, or he’d knock me out with one punch.”
“He always puts others first. Compared to us, he’s always last,” she said, looking earnestly at Hu Yu Ying.
“Dragon Brother really is the happiest guy in the world. You two better take good care of each other,” she concluded warmly.
Hu Yu Ying looked up at the sky. Maybe Dragon Bro was the happiest, but she felt she was the luckiest.
Meeting Dragon Bro changed her life—a helpless girl for the past eighteen years suddenly found someone who believed she was worth it.
He gave her choices.
All these feelings—and her happiness—began the moment she met him.
If someone asked who the happiest person in the world is, Hu Yu Ying firmly believed it was herself.
She would share all her happiness with Dragon Bro.
Oh, my Dragon Bro, meeting you—I’m truly lucky, and I’m so happy…
