Chapter 284: The setting sun’s glow, autumn wind and falling leaves—what a nice day!
Hu Yu Ying sensed the eyes on her and quickly shielded the marks left by Dragon Brother’s kisses and suckling with her hand. “If you’re just going to stare, I’ll just put on my clothes.”
“Wait, wait! Hu Yu Ying, it seems like something’s… different about you,” Li Qing Xue exclaimed with a mixture of awe and suspicion.
“Yeah, I noticed too. Oh my gosh, it’s really different…” Lin Wan Ning chimed in, eyes wide, practically incapable of believing what she saw.
Hu Yu Ying blinked in confusion. “Different?”
She looked down at her body. Nope, no big change there.
Honestly, if there was any difference, it was just that she’d gone from being a girl to a real woman. But could these changes actually be visible to the n*ked eye? Did they just somehow grow a new limb or what?
She instinctively thought it was impossible. Probably just Li Qing Xue and Wan Ning playing another prank, messing with her.
“Yu Ying, stand up straight,” Lin Wan Ning prompted.
She did as told, and suddenly, the change was even more obvious.
Watching their surprised expressions, Hu Yu Ying realized they weren’t joking. She hurriedly asked herself: what exactly had changed about her body?
After asking, she looked up at Li Qing Xue and Wan Ning standing before her, both straight and tall.
They gestured for her to look down. She wasn’t seeing much at first.
But suddenly, it clicked. It was too incredible to ignore.
Both Lin Wan Ning and Li Qing Xue stood with legs closed, without a single gap.
And Hu Yu Ying—standing straight—legs together, thighs touching…
“You see it too, huh? Before, you were all zipped up, tight as a drum. But now… it’s different. Looks like that’s the difference between a girl and a woman,” Li Qing Xue teased with a grin.
“Say one more word, and I’ll tickle you,” Hu Yu Ying’s cheeks blushed brightly; she reached out to swat Li Qing Xue.
Having gone through what men could teach her, and hearing Li Qing Xue say that, her mind couldn’t help but flash to the times with Dragon Brother.
Her whole demeanor was starting to feel strange.
At this point, Hu Yu Ying had to admit—she was a naughty girl too. She kept saying she was worried about Dragon Brother, but honestly? Part of her didn’t want to see him suffer, and part of her just… wanted him.
The thought made her blush even harder.
Pure and reserved? Just a thin line.
Cross that line, and even the most innocent girl turns just a little… naughty.
Hu Yu Ying was exactly there now—once a sweet, naive girl, only thinking of studying and Dragon Brother. Now her mind was filled with the look in his eyes when he wanted her.
That kind of gaze—how could she refuse? She’d gladly let Dragon Brother eat her up bit by bit—after all, she enjoyed being devoured…
“Good big sister, good big sister, I won’t say anymore—please, let me go,” Li Qing Xue begged.
Hu Yu Ying thought of something Dragon Brother once said: “You’re both bad and playful.” And honestly, Li Qing Xue was just that now—bad and playful.
She was no longer a girl. She was a mature woman. Seeing Li Qing Xue subdued, Hu Yu Ying proudly hummed twice…
Age-wise, they weren’t far apart—about three little years. But when it came to who became a woman first, she definitely deserved to be called big sister.
Later, soaking in the bathtub, Li Qing Xue scooped up water, splashing it on herself softly. She asked in a quiet voice, “I hope we get to marry them together someday, hold a wedding, and it’d be so beautiful.”
“I believe in Dragon Brother,” Hu Yu Ying murmured with pursed lips.
Dragon Brother said he’d marry her, so she’d marry him—done deal.
She had already committed. She belonged to Dragon Brother—forever.
“Dragon Aotian looks dependable, but really he’s just an big straight guy. If you don’t take the initiative, he’ll just think you’re not ready yet. So, you gotta give him a little nudge—just a little,” Li Qing Xue advised, her face calm but her eyes holding a trace of bittersweet smile.
That summer—such a wonderful encounter, such a wonderful summer.
Yet her reaction had been too slow. By the time she realized her feelings, everything had become words she couldn’t quite say.
But Li Qing Xue never denied the beauty of that time, even now, looking back, she still thought it was beautiful.
Back then—her and Dragon Aotian—so inexperienced, so naive. Less than a year, but it felt like everything was growing, changing into something new.
Thinking of this, her gaze drifted over to Hu Yu Ying lying beside her.
The biggest change? Definitely Hu Yu Ying.
People can really influence each other. Someone you meet can change you.
If Hu Yu Ying had met someone other than Dragon Aotian, what would she be like now?
She was glad she met Dragon Aotian. Why would such a gentle person be bullied?
It was only him—such a good guy—who would spare no effort to protect her.
“Silly girl,” Hu Yu Ying gently pinched her friend’s face when she saw Li Qing Xue staring blankly, lost in thought.
Fate is odd, isn’t it? So mysterious.
Anyway, they were good. Very good together.
At first, everything was perfect. Until someone blurted out: “Yu Ying, tell us—what is making love even like?”
And the mood instantly shifted.
What’s it like? Can’t really say. Dragon Brother doesn’t let anyone talk about it.
“Hmm, it’s… kind of weird,” Hu Yu Ying could only say that, thinking for a moment.
Faced with Li Qing Xue and Wan Ning’s persistent pestering, she could only give their behinds a light tap.
That strange, tingling feeling made Li Qing Xue and Wan Ning shiver uncontrollably.
“It’s something like that, but tens of times more sensitive,” Hu Yu Ying explained.
“When you find someone worth giving everything for, you’ll understand too.”
“And then I’ll happily tease you endlessly.”
“No way, never!” Li Qing Xue and Wan Ning exclaimed in unison.
Wan Ning got out of the tub, standing under the shower with her long black hair slicked against her body—absolutely stunning: “Who knows? I suppose it’s all about fate. Someone like me… I’m a little greedy.”
Loving her unconditionally was something she could endure—after all, she’d been like this for a long time.
But in this world, she thought—maybe she should leave behind a little something worth clinging to.
Even if that something was not honorable.
Because she’d never seen true sunlight, she could have kept enduring the darkness…
If she hadn’t met Dragon Aotian, perhaps they could have had a different, exciting experience.
But this Dragon Aotian—why is he so good? His casual care—simple, yet impossible for most to do.
So, in the most beautiful years, when you’re still innocent—don’t meet someone so stunning that you can’t forget them.
Otherwise, you’ll regret it.
After finishing her shower, the three parted ways.
What a lovely day—sunset glow, autumn wind, falling leaves…
