Chapter 276: Brother Long’s a Bad Guy, Tricks People…
Back in the siheyuan.
Looking at the courtyard that changes a bit every day.
Li Qing Xue couldn’t help but sigh: “What a transformation.”
No longer can you see the weeds and chaos from back then.
They kept some of the original style of the courtyard, blending it with modern trendy architecture. Even if it’s not fully finished, it gives you a fresh eye-opening feeling.
“Won’t we be done soon?” Lin Wan Ning softly asked.
“Almost there. Hopefully, we can move in this winter,” Dragon Brother sighed with emotion.
He held Hu Yu Ying’s hand a little tighter.
Having a home isn’t just a dream anymore—it’s becoming a reality.
Feeling Brother Long’s firm grip, Hu Yu Ying leaned gently on his arm.
Once the house is built, they’ll probably start cohabiting, right?
Thinking this, Hu Yu Ying’s smile grew even warmer.
She lost her parents at a young age, only had her grandparents around.
Grandpa and grandma were good to her, but some things—things they couldn’t give her either.
And those things, Dragon Brother gave her.
He guided her out of darkness, step by step, taught her countless life lessons.
He helped her see herself clearly, things her grandparents never could.
That’s why liking Brother Long feels so natural.
In this era, if a girl is willing to hand over her body, she’s doing it without reservations—more than just trust, it’s a lifelong commitment.
Back in those days, regardless of poverty or wealth, marrying was simply following the main road—marry a rooster, follow the rooster; marry a dog, follow the dog.
So Hu Yu Ying was truly prepared. Like she said, she’d do anything for Brother Long—and she was ready to care for him for a lifetime.
Quietly, she loosened her grip on Brother Long’s hand and turned to start tidying the room.
Watching her actions, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning exchanged glances, then followed her in.
They came to Hu Yu Ying’s side, both clasping her slender waist, teasingly asking, “Going home tonight?”
Hu Yu Ying blushed and shook her head softly. “Nope, I don’t want to go back tonight.”
“Getting to sleep cuddled by Brother Long—doesn’t that beat sleeping with us two?”
“And we’ve got stuff for you to grab too.”
Some embraces can’t be given by others—they’re different.
As for the stuff to grab? Don’t I know better than you guys? Hu Yu Ying thought.
“Look at you, all ready to give up—guess you’ll never escape Dragon Aotian’s grasp in this lifetime,” Lin Wan Ning teased.
“Why run away?” Hu Yu Ying whispered. “Coming to Brother Long’s side and walking shoulder to shoulder…”
And it’s not for nothing; without Brother Long, her life wouldn’t be as fulfilling.
Simple people’s pursuits are simple too.
A pair, a couple of kids—forever.
As she finished packing the bed, she turned to Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning. “Um, it’s getting late.”
“Are you trying to chase us away? Fickle as a friendship boat, huh?”
“Last night we had the best night together, and now you’re already eyeing us with disgust?”
Hu Yu Ying quickly waved her hands, anxious to explain: “No! No! I didn’t mean that—I—”
But Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning didn’t care. They raised fingers to their cheeks, as if saying, “Up to you.”
Hu Yu Ying stepped forward, kissed each of their cheeks softly.
“Is that enough?”
“Yesterday you even grabbed my little decoy,” Li Qing Xue huffed. “And for so long.”
“Next time, let me grab yours, okay?”
Li Qing Xue thought seriously then nodded, “Fine, then.”
She walked out the door, looking at Dragon Brother. “It’s getting late. We’re heading back first.”
“I’ll go buy groceries later—we’ll eat, then leave,” Dragon Brother said.
“Nope, that might delay someone’s early sleep and wake-up. Let’s do it next time,” she said, turning to leave.
Dragon Brother watched their silhouettes. “What’s wrong with them? Usually, talking about eating is so cheerful…”
Hu Yu Ying bit her lip gently. “They’re probably exhausted, just want to rest early tonight.”
Dragon Brother turned to face her, slowly leaning close to her ear. “Really?”
Warm breath brushed her ear, her heartbeat quickening fiercely. A tingling, electric feeling rushed through her ears along her whole body.
Only with Brother Long could she feel this way.
It’s been ages since the last time.
Her body’s functions reactivated, she tiptoed slightly, instinctively wanting to get closer to him.
Eyes dazed, heart racing, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Watching his Adam’s apple move up and down, a sly smile appeared in her eyes. Suddenly, she pulled his neck toward her, licked lightly on his Adam’s apple, then quickly pulled back, smiling charmingly, waiting for him to take the lead.
Brother Dragon was momentarily stunned. Being teased ignited his desire; he quickly kissed her, parting her lips and claiming all her beauty bit by bit.
Kissing her neck, clavicle, then back to her neck and ears: “Who taught you that?”
Hu Yu Ying couldn’t say it was learned from a teen video. She squinted half-closed eyes, feeling Brother Long’s breathing on her neck and ears, and murmured shyly: “Nobody taught me, I just think Brother Long would be happy if I did this…”
While speaking, she unconsciously caressed her neck, brushing her lips with his.
Her body’s reaction is the most genuine—nothing can replace it.
Suddenly, desire flashes in an instant.
Brother Dragon suddenly scooped her up. Hu Yu Ying was no longer clueless like before; her long legs curled around his waist, anchoring her trembling body.
“Time’s not early, Brother Long. Should we sleep now?”
As Hu Yu Ying’s big brother for so long, he now looked like a rookie—staring stupidly at her with a silly smile.
He carried her into the room.
The moment the door closed, Hu Yu Ying tiptoed and lightly kicked it shut.
Snuggled in the quilt, only her face, flushed with crimson, peeked out. “Brother Long, take off your jacket. Sleeping with it on’s uncomfortable.”
“Turn off the light.”
She entered the quilt, and when her hand touched Hu Yu Ying’s tender skin, Brother Long’s heart fluttered.
In the darkness, Hu Yu Ying tensed her whole body, threw her black skirt outside the quilt.
Moonlight seeped through the curtains; she tried not to sound nervous, whispering softly: “Brother Long, your heartbeat is so fast.”
“Why did you take all your clothes off?”
“Not all—still got my bra and underwear.”
“Brother Long, you, uh—pressed against me…”
“Can I stay outside?”
Her face crimson, her head buried inside the cover. Her remaining reason had long since flown away, her voice shy and soft like feathers: “Well, then… okay.”
In the dark, Hu Yu Ying’s brow furrowed, breath quickening, feeling wronged and stiff: “Bad boy, Brother Long, you tricked me…”
At this moment, their hearts synchronized, time seemed to stand still—only the two of them exist.
Moonlight outside the window silently nourished their hearts, making everything feel so natural.
