Chapter 240: Meet Cute, The Beginning of Everything
“Long Ge, your phone’s ringing.” Hu Yu Ying darted over, clutching the phone and passing it to Long Brother.
She placed the trash bin on the ground, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered: “Hey, Old Huang, I swear the sun’s still supposed to be rising from the east—why are you up so early?”
“Old Ao, no matter what, you must be back before noon, got it?”
“What’s going on?”
“You’ll see when you get back. Old Ao, you absolutely gotta come back, promise!” Huang Fei’s voice was unusually frantic, which was completely uncharacteristic.
Long Brother shot a quick look at Hu Yu Ying.
Since he had the speakerphone on, she could hear everything Huang Fei said.
He subtly nodded.
“Alright, fine. Coincidentally, I have something to tell you too,” Long Brother said.
About Shen Meng Jie—he felt it was necessary to have a good talk with Huang Fei about her.
“Long Ge, this semester we won’t see each other for a long time again,” she pouted, clinging adorably to Long Brother’s chest. She relied on him before, but now, that reliance had turned into clinginess.
“I’ll call you every day via video chat. When school’s out, we’ll go back home and live together.”
Hearing that, Hu Yu Ying tilted her little face up: “Then, Long Ge, do I still get to be grabbed by you?”
“Want a punch?”
“After you punch me, can you still grab me?”
Smack!
Hu Yu Ying’s body jerked; she felt a tingling rush like a thousand ants were crawling all over her. She covered her b*tt, cheeks burning scarlet, and immediately sobered up.
Seeing her adorable, innocent expression, Long Brother felt a mix of frustration and amusement.
He gently ruffled her hair. “What am I supposed to do with you, little girl?”
She used to be afraid when he said he’d punch her.
Now, he was hesitant to do so; he didn’t want to scold her, but he also couldn’t help but laugh.
It felt like this little girl had him wrapped around her finger.
Before, he was worried she’d cry—once she did, he’d be at a loss.
Now she’s not crying, but she acts cute, and he constantly surrenders.
“Long Ge, Ah Ying will behave.”
“You’re just pretending to be good now.” He playfully poked her nose. “Are you still my big brother in your eyes?”
“Not at all! I’m still very well-behaved, see? And you’re my boyfriend now…” Hu Yu Ying refused to admit she wasn’t being good.
With two strategic masterminds sitting in her corner, taking down Long Ge was just around the corner. She wouldn’t be like before—no more fighting or grabbing; she’d be obedient.
But it was because of that old me, the one that almost lost Long Ge.
She never wanted to go through that again. She’d grip him tightly, never let go.
Love isn’t just liking someone in your heart; it’s a heartbeat that compels you to stay, a love that grows stronger after each fluttering moment—Hu Yu Ying poured her deepest sincerity into this love.
This love made her happy, transforming her from a cocoon into a butterfly.
Now, Hu Yu Ying radiated happiness—joy on her face, warmth in her heart. Gone were her gloom and insecurity.
All those misfortunes of the first eighteen years had turned into happiness after meeting Long Brother.
That’s why she’d cherish him, never give up, hold him tight—forever.
Loving Long Brother isn’t about weighing pros and cons; it’s that pang of sudden heart-flutter, forging a firm love through that spark of connection. That’s Hu Yu Ying’s most honest love.
It was this love that made her gleam with joy, make her a butterfly ready to take flight.
People could see it from her face—she’s happy, she’s joyful. She’s no longer haunted by despair or inferiority.
All her misfortunes before—turned into joy once she met Long Brother.
That’s why she’d cherish him—never let go.
“Long Ge, if you’re busy, just go ahead. I’ll go back to school by myself later.”
The person on the phone, called Old Huang by Long Brother, must be a close friend.
And judging from how anxious Huang Fei sounded, it was probably something urgent.
“No rush. It’s okay if you come a little later,” Long Brother said. It was still early. As long as he was back at school before noon, it was fine.
Besides, he didn’t want to part with Hu Yu Ying just yet.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of separation anxiety.
Before they even separated, he was already planning when to see her again, when to go home and sleep together.
He’d already touched everything he should, and she’d already gotten everything she shouldn’t—both of them knew their roles.
In Long Brother’s mind, no one should be more anxious than him, staying cozy in his girl’s embrace!
This strange fate—meeting, knowing, understanding—every tiny experience was part of life. With Hu Yu Ying, her life had gained him; his life had gained her.
From the very start, they’d been tangled up in each other, protecting her wasn’t just talk—it was action.
“Long Ge, can you do my hair again?” she asked softly, her face lit with happiness.
“Would love to.”
Her long hair spilled down, flowing over her slim waist.
Feeling Long Brother’s gentle hands styling her hair, Hu Yu Ying murmured, “A long time ago in our village, there was a tradition: a girl’s long hair could only be styled by someone she loved.”
“Besides my mom and grandma, you’re the first guy to style Hu Yu Ying’s hair—and the only one.”
Her words were soft yet carried an unshakeable determination.
Long Brother hesitated slightly. This was her promise to himself, a vow from the little girl.
Meeting truly was a miraculous arrangement—it was the beginning of everything…
He embraced Hu Yu Ying from behind gently: “What I want to say is—Hu Yu Ying, at first sight, so delightful; after a long time, still breathtaking. Thank you for your unwavering choice…”
Leaning into Long Brother’s arms, Hu Yu Ying’s face and eyes sparkled with affection: “I should be thanking you, Long Ge. Thank you for giving me such a person, for offering me countless options to choose from…”
