Chapter 45: Just Like That, Pulling Me Along or Otherwise I Might Lose Control!
“Stop looking, you’re totally useless anyway.”
Gao Quan awkwardly retracted his gaze. “Brother Chen, that girl classmate of yours is really pretty. Especially that shy charms and flirtatious aura—Li Qing Xue can’t hold a candle to her.”
Ye Liang Chen chuckled.
Of course she’s his treasure girl—the word “treasure” itself perfectly described Hu Yu Ying’s status in Ye Liang Chen’s heart.
And because Hu Yu Ying looked so unintentionally adorable, that’s exactly why Long Ao Tian went completely nuts trying to get her.
“Her name’s Hu Yu Ying. Believe it or not, her future husband will be me,” Ye Liang Chen declared proudly, flipping his messy bangs with confidence.
“Brother Chen, you haven’t even looked at her and you’re already talking big? And besides, you’re not chasing Li Qing Xue anymore?”
“What if Li Qing Xue becomes my wife too?” Ye Liang Chen rubbed his forehead, looking like he’d rather not continue this conversation.
Gao Quan was stunned. “Bro, are you sick? Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?”
“Is this the daytime? Starting a daytime dream now?”
Not to mention Li Qing Xue.
Let’s talk about the girl tagging along with Long Ao Tian.
That guy is notorious across the whole school—a real troublemaker.
Fighting, skipping classes, openly defying teachers—everything bad you can imagine, Ao Tian has done it.
Trying to steal a girl from someone like him? Are you asking to d*e?
With Lone Brother’s physique, a single kick from Ao Tian and he’d probably be out cold!
So Gao Quan thought Ye Liang Chen was definitely ill, and not just a little.
Ye Liang Chen confidently took a sip of soup. “Want to bet?”
“Bet what?”
“Bet whether Li Qing Xue and Hu Yu Ying will be my wives someday. If I lose, I’ll cover all my expenses for going out.”
“If you lose, you cover all the expenses for our outings.”
Gao Quan pursed his lips. “Bro, you’re just bragging too much. Marriage? At least wait until after college, man. That’s way too far off.”
“Then what if I say that after this summer’s college entrance exams, they’ll all be my girlfriends?” Ye Liang Chen grinned confidently.
Gao Quan looked like he’d just heard the funniest joke. His eyes squinted into slits from the laughter. “You mean after the college exams, Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue will become your girlfriends? Bro, you want me to go out with you, but you don’t have to lie like that!”
“Tonight I’ll go home and check out famous tourist spots from all over the world. After the exams, you won’t have to treat me, heh heh heh…”
Ye Liang Chen raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t speaking very seriously!”
“After the exams, Hu Yu Ying will become my girlfriend, and Li Qing Xue will chase after me, wanting to be my girlfriend.”
That was too shocking for Gao Quan. It was already outrageous enough that Hu Yu Ying might become his girlfriend.
Gao Quan couldn’t even imagine—what if Ye Liang Chen dared to steal Ao Tian’s girl? How would Ao Tian deal with that?
And what’s worse—he even said Li Qing Xue would chase after him?
That was not just outrageous; it was explosive! He’d chased Li Qing Xue for years.
If Li Qing Xue really chased him, then why did Bro Chen confess and get rejected?
“If it really comes to that, you just say the word, and I’ll give you all my piggy bank savings from years past!”
It wasn’t that Gao Quan was stubborn—he just thought Ye Liang Chen was bragging way too big, so big that someone as simple and honest as him couldn’t accept it.
“Alright then, let’s go with that,” Ye Liang Chen nodded helplessly. This bet was just a joke—he just loved seeing Gao Quan shock and gape.
Hopefully, he wouldn’t be so stunned that he’d be speechless.
“Wow, Bro Chen, Long Ao Tian’s hitting on your girl,” Gao Quan suddenly said.
Ye Liang Chen quickly turned his head.
And then he saw it.
The scene that made his bl**d boil instantly unfold right before his eyes.
There was Long Ao Tian, that b*stard, reaching out to touch Hu Yu Ying’s tender little face.
In that one moment, the anger that had just been suppressed surged up again!
If it weren’t crowded here, and if he didn’t want to make a scene in front of Gao Quan, he probably would have gone straight over and fought Ao Tian—no holding back!
He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly stood up from his chair.
“Bro Chen, don’t be impulsive,” Gao Quan hurriedly advised. He still believed that Bro Chen’s earlier words were just jokes.
If Bro Chen really lost his mind and went after Ao Tian, the next guy whose head would explode would be Ye Liang Chen!
Ye Liang Chen clenched his teeth, voice trembling slightly from holding back, saying, “Yes. Just like that, hold me back—otherwise, I’m scared I’ll rush over and deal with Ao Tian now!”
And just like that, Ye Liang Chen was pulled out of the cafeteria by Gao Quan.
The sounds of their commotion drew the attention of those eating inside.
Ao Tian also briefly looked over, then withdrew his gaze, continuing to look at Hu Yu Ying with a smirk. “So hungry you’re drooling already.”
Hu Yu Ying stared blankly at Ao Tian, her beautiful eyes flickering, her slightly parted red lips — rice had accidentally spilled out.
But she seemed to have already forgotten how to chew, doom-faced as she stared at Ao Tian in dazed admiration.
Her lips still retained the faint warmth of Ao Tian’s fingertips.
“Why are you just sitting there? Do I have anything on my face?” Seeing her cute, charming daze, Ao Tian chuckled, “Eat slower. I eat fast anyway.”
“Just to let you digest a bit.”
Hu Yu Ying, seeing she was almost done eating, was a bit lost in thought. The silly girl, not knowing what she was thinking, kept stuffing rice into her mouth—so eager, she didn’t even mind choking.

Hearing Ao Tian’s words, Hu Yu Ying nodded softly, then lowered her gaze obediently, continuing to eat in silence.
During the meal, she subtly peeked at Ao Tian with her lips pressed, then quickly looked away like a frightened bunny, catching herself just in time.
A faint, hard-to-detect smile curled on her lips; today’s sunshine was really lovely, she was so happy, and the rice was so sweet…
“I’m done,” Hu Yu Ying softly told Ao Tian, then started to clean up her plate.
Walking out of the restaurant.
At the door, Ye Liang Chen, who had been furious earlier, immediately turned his back on Ao Tian and Hu Yu Ying once he saw them leaving.
Wait until they were gone!
Then he suddenly spun around, glaring fiercely at Ao Tian’s back.
“Quan, if you hadn’t dragged me just now, I swear I would have lost control for real!” Ye Liang Chen said grimly.
Gao Quan’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t even pulled him—he just stood there and watched.
He dry-swallowed and softly said, “Bro Chen, maybe we should go check in the infirmary?”
“I think you’re under too much pressure lately—your mind’s a little messed up.”
“I’m fine, Quan. Don’t you believe in me?”
“I’m fully awake and rational now,” Ye Liang Chen said deeply, breathing in. “Never been this clear-headed and sane!”
Gao Quan sighed helplessly.
He had imagined Long Ao Tian’s girl as his own, and even said Li Qing Xue would chase him—what a joke.
Last Friday, he had gone and picked a fight for no reason and got beaten.
Such a disgraceful thing, and now he wanted to broadcast it everywhere?
Thinking about it now, the problem had been brewing for a while.
It seemed Li Qing Xue’s rejection of Bro Chen had a pretty big impact on him…
Of course, Gao Quan didn’t say all this in front of Ye Liang Chen. If he did, he probably wouldn’t know how he’d react!
