Chapter 107: Greedy and Lustful
After grading the exams, Dragon Brother teamed up with Hu Yu Ying to celebrate by playing for three whole days.
They had a blast, full of excitement and joy, but as days went by, life settled into a peaceful, boring rhythm.
During this time, Hu Yu Ying could keep her stall organized all by herself—even if she was alone.
Meanwhile, Dragon Brother took advantage of the downtime and signed up to get a driver’s license.
Before crossing over, Dragon Brother already knew how to drive, so earning a new license here wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but it wasn’t rocket science either.
Time just slipped away unnoticed.
One day, Hu Yu Ying sat on a small stool, propping her chin with one hand as she gazed up at the cloudy sky: “I wonder how Dragon Bro’s driving test went today.”
He’d aced all three tests—Subjects 1 through 3—without breaking a sweat. Today was Subject 4; she was sure he had nothing to worry about. Still, she couldn’t help but think of him and feel a flutter of worry.
The very thought of Dragon Brother made Hu Yu Ying blush shyly, both cheeks heating up as she covered her face with her hands, feeling embarrassingly sheepish.
Boom—crack!
Dark clouds swirled overhead, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled.
A raindrop splashed onto the ground, soon followed by countless others forming a natural curtain of water.
Hu Yu Ying hurriedly moved her small stool under the awning, folding up most of her clothes along the way.
On the bustling street, crowds flowed through the market stalls, which quickly quieted as the rain intensified.
The sky darkened, thunder roared with muffled booms.
Their old, battered awning was no match for sudden rain—soon, water droplets seeped through and dripped down.
Feeling the wetness on her skin, Hu Yu Ying shrank back instinctively, quickening her movements to pack up faster.
“Wow, it’s really pouring…,” she muttered, eyes wide.
Dragon Brother sped over on his tricycle, already soaked through.
“How did Dragon Bro do?”
“You think I’d miss or mess up? Not a chance.”
Dragon Brother shook off the wet clothes, crouching down to help Hu Yu Ying gather the remaining booth items.
As they packed their things and found a dry spot to wait out the rain, both gazed at the endless curtain of raindrops, their sounds soothing—a kind of mental comfort.
“Dragon Bro, you wanna change your clothes?” Hu Yu Ying asked, eyeing his soaked figure before she could even get a reply. Without waiting, she quickly found some clothes that fit Dragon Brother’s size.
He’d wanted to change earlier but didn’t dare with Hu Yu Ying nearby. Now that she mentioned it, and with the rain likely to keep falling, he didn’t say no—clothes sticking uncomfortably to his skin was misery enough.
“Don’t peek, okay?” he teased.
“Who, me? I’d never!”
Hu Yu Ying hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, playing innocent.
Dragon Brother walked to the back and started taking off his soaked clothes. A gentle blush crept over Hu Yu Ying’s face.
Through her fingertips, she blinked her bright, moist eyes, feeling her cheeks burn hotter.
She swallowed nervously, her gaze darting away before lingering anywhere. She didn’t want him to see how flustered she was.
When Dragon Brother finished changing and returned beside her, Hu Yu Ying jolted in surprise: “Are you okay?”
His usual fair, tender face was now flushed bright red, eyes darting left and right as if she had a fever.
“I-I’m fine,” she stammered, nervously fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
He pinched her forehead, checking for fever, then chuckled softly. “Did you peek at me changing? Look at how embarrassed you are!”
Like a caught kitten, Hu Yu Ying quickly shook her head, denying: “No, no! I didn’t look!”
“Really?”
Her face turned even redder at his teasing.
Seeing her shy expression, Dragon Brother couldn’t resist poking fun: “Tsk tsk, such a big pervert.”
Hu Yu Ying lowered her head, fingers on her cheeks, trying to cool her blazing face with her own warmth: “I-i’m not a pervert…”
“You’re greedy and lustful, you know that?” Dragon Brother joked, playfully poking her forehead.
Hu Yu Ying sneakily stole a glance at Dragon Brother, their eyes meeting for a split second. Seeing her soft, glutinous look, Dragon Brother couldn’t help but laugh. When he smiled, she followed suit, giggling along with him.
The rain eased, and those still selling in the town stalls began packing up their goods.
Dragon Brother and Hu Yu Ying also called it a day early, loading their things onto the tricycle.
She sat obediently, ready to go: “Dragon Bro, I’m ready.”
“Then let’s roll!”
They started off towards the town exit, just a short distance away. But fate never liked to be predictable.
Suddenly, the rain, which had just let up, started pouring even harder.
“Dragon Bro, it’s pouring again,” Hu Yu Ying stood up, one hand gripping the bike frame, shielding her eyes from the downpour.
“Hold on tight,” Dragon Brother said, then sped up.
You could step out of the rain, but there was nowhere to hide the items on the tricycle—everything was exposed.
Raindrops fell in torrents, quickly soaking their clothes.
Years later, this rain would remain vividly vivid in their memories.
Even many years from now, when Hu Yu Ying thought of that rain, a joyful smile would unconsciously cross her face—a bit smug, too.
Back home, Hu Yu Ying jumped down from the tricycle, hurriedly opened the door, and urged Dragon Brother inside.
Once he entered, she shivered, pulling the door shut and locking it again.
Hey, little master, there’s more to this chapter! Click next page for the even more exciting continuation!
“Go change quickly.”
Dragon Brother saw Hu Yu Ying trembling all over and pushed her into the living room.
He himself headed into the kitchen—filling the pot with water, igniting the stove, peeling ginger. As a big man, even he couldn’t help but shiver a little.
Once the water boiled, he added a splash of brown sugar.
Back in the living room, Hu Yu Ying, now changed, emerged from the bedroom.
Even though her wet clothes were replaced, she still shivered slightly from the cold.
“Drink some ginger tea with brown sugar first,” he advised. “Then lie down for a while. Today’s lunch is on me—you can taste Dragon Bro’s cooking.”
Watching his caring, busy movements made Hu Yu Ying’s lips curve into a natural smile—being cared for felt really nice.
“Why are you just standing there willy-nilly? Drink up,” Dragon Brother called out, noticing her dazed expression, then leaned closer, curious what she was thinking.
Facing his sudden closeness, Hu Yu Ying’s breath quickened. He was so close, she could feel his breath. So near—so close she couldn’t breathe properly.
Her mind went blank—she’d forgot what she wanted to say, and her heart was pounding wildly.
In that moment, her body seemed to lose control—she moved forward slightly, hoping to get even closer to Dragon Bro.
But just as she stepped closer, she bumped her forehead right into his.
“You dummy, does it hurt?” Dragon Brother chuckled, amused by her blank stare.
He was about to hand her the warm ginger tea when suddenly—
【Nope, not doing this today, hehe…】
