Chapter 334: If I don’t Reach Out, Will You Never Reach Back?
Hu Yu Ying snuggled affectionately against Dragon Brother’s chest, “That’s not true, little girl. I wasn’t playing with fire.”
Then she quietly lifted her head, “Last night was an exception, but from today until the holidays end, Dragon Bro, you’re not allowed to touch Ah Ying anymore—for your health, of course.”
“Dragon Bro also needs to learn to control himself.”
This morning, she woke up with her waist aching and her legs feeling like jelly.
If she was this exhausted, then Dragon Bro—who kept exerting himself—probably wasn’t doing much better.
So, a bit of restraint is good.
“Have you just eaten your fill and forgotten about Dragon Bro?” Hu Yu Ying’s pretty face turned red; Dragon Bro indeed fed her until she was super full, but how could she admit that?
Pu, she was about to come up with a forced excuse.
Dragon Brother watched the blushing little girl trying to stubbornly deny it, feeling amused inside—nothing made him happier than teasing this little troublemaker.
Seeing her shy to the point of breaking down, his heart felt completely filled.
After dropping off the little girl at A University, Dragon Bro returned to T University.
Maybe last night’s extreme satisfaction made him see everything on campus in a better light.
Back at the dorm, he was surprised not to see Huang Fei and Li Long Long; instead, Xu Shuai, who often went out on dates with Wang Li Juan, was in the dorm.
“Where are they?”
“They went to train,” Xu Shuai explained. “The school’s sports meet is about to start, so they’re all busy with training.”
“Oh, Old Bro, have you chosen your event yet?”
Hearing this, Dragon Bro also grew serious.
Most universities’ sports meets are just for fun.
But T University’s is different—it’s a big deal.
Track and field, fun competitions, team events, and special categories.
Each event has several different sports, and T students must pick one from each of the four major categories.
“Let’s wait and see what they decide when they get back?”
Hearing this, Xu Shuai chuckled, “Already decided long ago.”
Li Long Long chose high jump, Huang Fei picked the 800-meter mid-distance race, and we’ll go with short-distance sprint.
For fun and team events, we’ll pick pull-ups, tug-of-war, or relay.
In the specific events, we each do our best.”
Dragon Bro nodded seriously, “Excellent, excellent!”
The two discussed and prepared to find Huang Fei and Li Long Long for training together.
Just as they stepped out of the dorm…
Dragon Bro’s phone buzzed.
Seeing who sent the message, Dragon Bro’s steps slowed.
After Lin Wan Ning sent the message, her eyes kept fixed on the screen, flickering with hesitation.
Honestly, she didn’t want to do this—Hu Yu Ying had classes on Wednesday and Friday, and it was already past 8 p.m.
She initially thought Dragon Bro would be exhausted from last night’s efforts.
But since she could only steal a little time from Hu Yu Ying on Wednesdays and Fridays, she kept debating and finally couldn’t resist, sending that message.
“School’s sports meet is coming up, I need to train this afternoon.”
Seeing Dragon Bro’s reply, Lin Wan Ning sighed softly.
The little angel perched on her left shoulder, trying to counsel her, said earnestly, “Brother, this is important. You should understand, right? Maybe Brother just likes someone who’s considerate—like Wan Ning.”
“Heh,” sneered the little devil on her right shoulder. “Considerate? Pfft. I think he’s just better at understanding clothes. Why waste energy on training when you could be spending it stirring up feelings for Wan Ning?”
The angel wanted to say more, but Lin Wan Ning frowned, displeased, “Shut up.” Then, she looked at her little devil inside—“You tell me.”
The little devil jolted, then swallowed hard and pressed on, “Think about it—you’ve suppressed these feelings for so long, just to not disturb Brother and Ah Ying. Now that Ah Ying isn’t busy, you should reward yourself fiercely.”
“Even if we’re playing the third wheel, we have to be the amazing third wheel. Besides, love is something you make happen. If you don’t do it, how will Brother ever remember your love?”
Lin Wan Ning sighed again, “I get it, but Brother said he’s busy, sigh.”
“Bullst, he’s not busy. Take out your phone right now. Hit ‘Brother, don’t you want Ah Ying to find out about that thing’ and then go book a room, give him the address…”
The little devil’s words echoed in her ears.
She glanced at her phone, then her gaze hardened. “My own excitement won’t compare to training anyway.”
She didn’t ask for much—just two afternoons a week, Wednesday and Friday.
Thinking of that, she increasingly missed Dragon Bro’s rough yet tender punishments.
After sending the message, Lin Wan Ning deeply exhaled, clutching her phone tightly on the hotel bed.
She looked at her phone—no reply.
Her heart started to flutter with worry. Would Brother dislike her threatening him like this?
The wait was torturous, not knowing if he would come.
Snuggled on the bed, staring blankly at her phone, she sighed softly, burying her face in her knees.
Forty minutes had passed. If Brother was coming, he would have been here already—after all, she chose a hotel near T University and the Music Academy.
“In twenty more minutes, maybe he’s training and didn’t see my message,” she thought.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Wan Ning knew he wouldn’t come.
She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and forced back the tears that wanted to fall.
Silently, she changed out of her uniform, dressed in her own clothes and shoes, then headed out of the room.
As she opened the door, she saw Dragon Bro crouched in the corner, scratching his head, looking like he had no idea what to do.
“Brother?”
Hearing her voice, he looked up. Seeing Lin Wan Ning walk out, he hurriedly stood, “Wan Ning, listen to me…”
Next moment, she made a pouty face, forcefully pulling Dragon Bro towards her room. “Whatever you want to say, just come in, and we’ll have a deep talk.”
“Wait, don’t take your clothes off first…” Seeing her start to strip as soon as they entered, Dragon Bro quickly stopped her, “Calm down first!”
Lin Wan Ning ignored him—this was her chance, and she fought hard to get it.
And coming here and booking a room wasn’t just to hear the good words from her brother.
“Calm? If I don’t contact you, you’ll never reach out first, huh?”
“I don’t care about other times. On Wednesday and Friday, Ah Ying has classes, and these two afternoons belong to me…”
She threw herself into Dragon Bro’s arms, her hand sliding downward, feeling her previously broken-hearted mood turn sweet—her feelings finally bubbling over:
“Whether it’s because of me or my body… you indeed have a response!”
