Chapter 234: For a Moment, Sunshine Truly Shone on Me
After waking up, Dragon Brother (male) rolled over and instinctively reached out to snuggle beside himself.
But all he found was emptiness—no lazy, charming murmurs calling him “Dragon Bro.”
That’s when it hit him—Hu Yu Ying hadn’t stayed over last night.
Yawning, Dragon Brother realized that it had only been two days, but he’d already gotten used to having Hu Yu Ying right there next to him.
He rubbed his cheek, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.
He upgraded his team from sixty-something workers to over a hundred.
Dreaming of having a home isn’t just a fleeting fancy now; it’s been a persistent thought for a long time.
He hung up, then got out of bed to tidy up a bit.
Just washed his face when he heard the sound of the front door unlocking with a key.
It wasn’t work hours yet—so who could it be?
To his surprise, three little shadows appeared in front of him.
Hu Yu Ying was holding a shopping bag—inside was yesterday’s purchase: new underwear for Dragon Bro.
Finally, he could ditch those old briefs!
Li Qing Xue was holding a steamed bun, Lin Wan Ning clutching soy milk, and upon seeing Dragon Bro still busy washing up, she grinned, “We borrowed Hu Yu Ying for a night and now we’re returning her to you…”
Even though last night they had discussed many tricks for handling Dragon Bro among their little squad.
Yet hearing that, they couldn’t help but blush.
Blushes partly because of what they had said or seen in those little videos after taking her away last night…
They sniffed quietly, casting fleeting glances at Dragon Bro’s body—man, what he eats really can make a guy blush with shame…
The real reason was more straightforward: he was just too… too embarrassing to look at…
Dragon Brother looked at Hu Yu Ying’s shy expression, her awkward posture, then shifted his gaze to Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning—seems you’re teasing Hu Yu Ying, making her all shy.
Faced with Dragon Bro’s gaze, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning chuckled awkwardly, nudging Hu Yu Ying with their shoulders, secretly thinking: Hu Yu Ying really isn’t shy at all.
Actually, even Li Qing Xue wasn’t completely innocent to start with…
“Eat some breakfast first, we brought it especially for you,” Lin Wan Ning handed Dragon Bro a soy milk, diverting attention.
Li Qing Xue quickly pinched Hu Yu Ying’s slim waist and said cheekily, “Why’re you blushing? People might think we did something bad to you!”
“It’s because you guys kept showing me videos, now I don’t even know how to face Dragon Bro,” Hu Yu Ying mumbled shyly.
Sharing a sleep and kisses with Dragon Bro—on a physiological level, that’s already not purely innocent.
And since last night, she’d been bombarded with all sorts of knowledge points.
Emotionally and mentally, especially when facing this guy she liked so much, she’s no longer as naive as before.
Can’t really blame Hu Yu Ying. If this was a guy who didn’t indulge in the flesh, her fantasies could soar even higher.
Li Qing Xue hugged her giggling friend with a laugh, feeling her soft body, and Hu Yu Ying couldn’t help but nuzzle back.
That’s the safety and comfort from best friends.
“You should just be yourself with Dragon Bro like usual. He doesn’t really not understand anything,” Li Qing Xue comforted.
“How can he endure not touching you, if he didn’t care deeply? I think he’s not willing, it’s just that you’re worth so much more than that,” she added gently, lifting Hu Yu Ying’s little face. “You’re my good friend, my best girl. From a girl’s point of view—Dragon Bro only wants you. Not just a passing physical fling. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself—Dragon Bro probably wouldn’t want to see you like this, either.”
Hu Yu Ying looked seriously at Li Qing Xue, then chuckled softly, her palm tenderly stroking that pretty face. She felt genuine concern from her best friend.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank me—it’s you who’s wonderful, and him… he’s good too, very good”—her smile looked even more radiant in the sunlight. “I really like a line you once said: ‘That’s not my sun, but in a certain moment, the sunlight really shone on me…’”
It wasn’t long before Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning said their goodbyes and left.
After two days of waking early and sleeping late, they just wanted to go home and catch some good rest before heading out to play this afternoon.
The holiday was ending soon—if they didn’t enjoy now, there’d be no time later.
Watching Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning walk away, Dragon Bro glanced at Hu Yu Ying’s small hand and slowly reached out to hold it.
“So, where did you guys go yesterday?”
Feeling the warmth transmitted through his hand, Hu Yu Ying pursed her lips, smiled gently, and turned to look at Dragon Bro, her bright eyes shining with happiness only he could see: “Not telling you, Dragon Bro.”
Honestly, after yesterday’s events, how could she be brave enough to tell him?
Hearing that, Dragon Bro wasn’t bothered. As long as she was happy, who cared about curiosity? Cherishing this moment of happiness was more important than anything.
“Dragon Bro, I bought you some stuff,” Hu Yu Ying suddenly remembered, pulling him back into the room.
She took out the underwear from the shopping bag and held them out to Dragon Bro: “Last time I was tidying up, I saw your underwear had holes, so I bought you new ones.”
Hearing this, Dragon Bro curled his lips and said with a wry smile, “There are no holes.”
Hu Yu Ying looked at him stubbornly refusing to admit, then soon found his underwear under the quilt.
Seeing what Hu Yu Ying was holding, Dragon Bro’s smile promptly vanished—he hurried forward, took it, and behind his back said, “Th-These are, uh, worn before…”
So it turned out he’d bought so many pairs of underwear, but during wear, they somehow all disappeared—literally hidden beneath his clothes, forgotten.
And worse, Hu Yu Ying had found them all.
“And here too,” Hu Yu Ying opened his suitcase again, her expression turning puzzled. “Strange, I saw those the day before yesterday—how come I can’t find them now?”
Dragon Bro instinctively grasped his own b*tt—wait, wasn’t she talking about the pair he just changed into?
Clearing his throat, he said, “Forget it, I probably threw them away,” which neatly explained why those underwear he’d seen yesterday were suddenly gone today.
Hu Yu Ying nodded, convinced—probably because those underwear had been long overdue for tossing.
Then she extended her hand toward him…
