Chapter 317: I Think You’re Right
“Well, we’re off then!” Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning tiptoed out of the gate, glancing back softly as they whispered to Hu Yu Ying and Dragon Brother.
Subway ride was convenient, but it took over twenty minutes—so better to leave early.
“Take your time on the way.”
Watching the little figures slip out of the alleyway, Dragon Brother finally tugged Hu Yu Ying back inside.
No one was around anymore.
Naturally, he wanted to get a little closer to his adorable girl.
He scooped her up in a bear hug, and they lounged on a deck chair.
Thanks to inertia, the chair swayed gently.
Hu Yu Ying nestled in his arms, lifting her little face with a bright smile, looking up at her big bro: “Aren’t you afraid we’re going to squish the chair?”
Breathing in her faint, fresh scent, Dragon Brother planted a soft kiss on her forehead, feeling completely satisfied: “As long as I’m protecting you, even if we sit until the chair breaks, it’s fine.”
“Absolutely not,” Hu Yu Ying playfully pressed her fingertip between his eyebrows.
Dragon Brother leaned in close, whispering into her ear: “Big Bro’s embrace is warm, you know.”
Hu Yu Ying stifled a giggle, then rolled her eyes: “Warm, sure, but if this soft seat turns hard—whew, that’d make me sweat buckets.”
Her playful eye roll, coupled with her flirtatious softness, truly made her irresistibly charming.
Dragon Brother couldn’t help but want to tease her further.
The girl’s body was too sensitive; after a few teasing gestures, her cheeks turned rosy, her eyes shimmered with a dreamy glow—just one look was enough to melt anyone’s heart.
He shook his head with a smile: “Big bro, take me to school, okay?”
Dragon Brother took a deep breath. “Okay.”
Hu Yu Ying felt like she was losing her mind. Whenever she was with her big bro, her body would get all weird and uncontrollable—her desire impossible to suppress. But she knew she had to stay calm now.
Same with him. There was some magical power about her, pulling him closer effortlessly.
And once near her, he couldn’t resist the urge to overthrow that soft, adorable, seemingly easy-to-bully girl who looked so delicate and shy…
Sitting on the electric scooter, clutching his waist, Hu Yu Ying felt his burning heat through his clothes.
She gently pressed her forehead against his back, whispering softly: “Big bro, just bear with it a little, okay?”
Hearing this, Dragon Brother stiffened for a moment, then chuckled: “In your eyes, am I some kind of lovesick fool?”
Hu Yu Ying shook her head first, then hesitantly nodded.
This made Dragon Brother laugh and shake his head. “Why the contradictory looks?”
She silently eyed her big bro, then seriously said: “If it was the old Dragon Brother, that wouldn’t happen.”
“But now he’s like a lively little firecracker—you just tap him, and he’ll knock you down…”
Dragon Brother tried to retort, determined to uphold his big brother dignity again.
But Hu Yu Ying’s next words made him blush with shame.
“And he even lies to me—lying about taking a bath once, catching bugs three times, pretending to sprain his ankle last time so I’d think I was helping with pain relief…”
“Don’t, don’t say anymore…” But then she paused, realizing something. “You did agree once to catch bugs—you even closed the door with your foot.”
At that moment, silence fell behind them.
Dragon Brother twirled his mirror to see the back, adjusting it slightly.
Then he saw Hu Yu Ying’s flushed little face, blushing shyly.
Their gazes met in the mirror, and both burst out laughing.
“Big bro, you’re so gross—you clearly said you saw the bugs and wanted to let the snake bite them to d*ath…”
“Alright, alright, all Dragon Brother’s fault,” he chuckled, giving up on teasing her anymore—wouldn’t want her adorable little face to turn beet red again.
They arrived at their destination. Dragon Brother took off Ah Ying’s helmet, carefully combed her slightly messy hair, and said, “Message me before class.”
“Mm,” she nodded obediently, still staring at him. In her peripheral vision, she quickly kissed his cheek. “Take it slow on the way back, I’m going in now.”
She watched her big bro walk into the campus, then turned and left.
As he passed the subway entrance, he spotted a familiar tall figure—pale skin, long straight black hair, that unmistakable figure.
“Wan Ning,” he called softly.
Hearing her name, Lin Wan Ning smiled slightly, turning to look at him with a hint of surprise. “Big bro, you’re so quick—already bringing Ah Ying to school?”
“You didn’t go back to school?”
Lin Wan Ning explained, “I had no classes this afternoon, so I just came to see Li Qing Xue on the way.”
“Get in, I’ll take you back.”
Dragon Brother patted the rear seat and said with a smile, “No better time than now—you’d be at the subway station soon anyway.”
“Still, everything’s just right,” Lin Wan Ning joked.
Sitting behind, feeling her brother’s aura close, she closed her eyes happily, a gentle smile on her lips.
“Hold on tight, we’re off!”
“Mm,” she answered softly, eyeing her brother’s silhouette from behind. Tentatively, she reached out her hand, but lacked the courage to just gently hug him.
At the traffic stop, Dragon Brother braked suddenly.
Lin Wan Ning, lost in her thoughts, naturally bumped into his back and instinctively hugged him strongly to steady herself.
In that instant, she felt her limbs turn numb, clutching her hands tightly.
“Are you okay?”
Regaining her composure, Lin Wan Ning’s breathing grew rushed, but she tried to play it cool: “I’m fine, just not seated properly. Don’t worry, big bro.”
Slowly releasing her hold on him, she seemed to linger a moment longer, then secretly grabbed his coat.
In that brief moment, her heart was a battlefield.
The angelic little voice said quietly: “If he rejects you, you might not even stay friends, and Ah Ying might drift away from him too. Listen to me—keep the current distance. Dragon Brother will still see you as his little sis.”
The mischievous little devil in black sneered: “Little sis? Nah, you’re scared before it even starts. This ending’s inevitable—handcuffs on, rice cooked, and Dragon Brother won’t recognize you? Besides, what you want isn’t much—just be careful, and Ah Ying won’t find out.”
She looked at the devilish black-clad figure and nodded in agreement: “I think you’re right.”
Dark thoughts took root in her mind, quickly sprouting.
On his motorcycle, Dragon Brother suddenly felt a chill on his back, instinctively looking around—no cars, no scammers, no danger.
He scratched his head suspiciously: “Weird…”
