Chapter 110: Dragon Brother, I’m Gonna Fight You Now
After gobbling up their snacks,
A bunch of girls headed straight into the mall for a spree.
Post-gaokao, they’d scored some pretty decent points—well, decent enough for them.
Their parents rewarded them a little, and now they were about to start university life. Time to buy fresh clothes and put their best foot forward!
Having caring family and loved ones—man, that’s the true happiness.
Each girl bought a gorgeous new outfit—because university is way more relaxed with fashion than high school.
By the time they finished shopping, it was already about five or six in the afternoon.
Check out that shopping stamina!
Honestly, the last time Dragon Brother took Hu Yu Ying shopping, that was pretty fast already.
The four of them strolled along the street, perhaps heading for other cities or maybe just girl talk nonstop.
Before they knew it, they passed Water Bay River, wandering by its banks.
Feeling the breeze and the late afternoon sunshine that wasn’t too harsh anymore.
Li Qing Xue walked over to the grass on the riverbank, took a deep breath, and sat down gently.
“Qing Xue, what are you doing?” Wang Rui sat beside her and asked.
“Listening to the water flow,” Li Qing Xue said with her eyes closed, calm as ever.
Wang Rui also closed her eyes, trying to feel it: “Better listen to music instead.”
Hearing Wang Rui’s answer, Li Qing Xue chuckled softly—she’d said the same thing before.
“What are you laughing at?” Wang Rui looked puzzled.
At eighteen, it’s really hard to sit still and calm down.
“Nothing, just remembered something funny.”
“What kind of person do you think someone is, if they like lying on the grass in the sun and listening to the water?”
Wang Rui pondered: “I think they’re probably… older?”
“Mm-hmm,” Li Qing Xue nodded in agreement.
After a while, it was getting late. A few of them decided to leave.
Li Qing Xue also stood up to stretch, then gazed at the river.
Her eyes flickered slightly.
On the other side of the river, she couldn’t see clearly, but she was sure someone was lying on the grass diagonally.
Her heart skipped a beat—she didn’t even realize the smile spreading across her face, an uncontrollable happiness blooming inside.
“You girls go ahead; I’ve got a little something to do,” she said suddenly.
The others looked at her strangely, confused by her sudden joy.
But Li Qing Xue didn’t explain. She just headed along the river, towards the sunset glow.
Her steps quickened a bit.
Breathing a little harder, she circled around from the other side—it’s really far.
Step by step, she moved forward.
And in the next second, her smile grew even wider.
It’s him, of course.
He’s not there in the morning anymore—has it shifted to the afternoon now?
Li Qing Xue tiptoed quietly over, planning to give Dragon Brother a good scare—someone who always treats her like a little kid and teases her.
She listened to the soft sounds of her footsteps on the grass.
Then she looked up with a start.
“Ah~~” The girl who meant to scare Dragon Brother suddenly covered her skirt hurriedly.
“Cough cough…” Dragon Brother quickly turned his head aside, pretending he saw nothing.
Because the riverbank is uneven, and since Dragon Brother was lying down, with Li Qing Xue in a skirt above him…
Li Qing Xue glared at his guilty expression, clenching her tiny fist—a little annoyed.
She forgot her initial plan to scare him and, puffing with indignation, shook her skirt and sat down beside him.
An awkward silence filled the air.
After a long while.
Li Qing Xue spoke up: “Say something, why aren’t you talking? Aren’t you usually good at talking?”
Dragon Brother turned and chuckled: “What a coincidence.”
Li Qing Xue rolled her eyes at him—look at that guilty face, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s been over a month since you came here. Do you come every afternoon?”
She finally asked what she most wanted to know.
Usually, Dragon Brother came here in the daytime to sun himself.
Or maybe, because of her appearance, he changed to the afternoon to hide from her?
“I’ve been busy lately. Today I had a day off, so I just lied here for a bit,” he yawned.
Dragon Brother moved casually, radiating an irresistible lazy vibe.
Li Qing Xue couldn’t help but stretch and exhale deeply as she watched him yawn.
“Well, isn’t it a coincidence? I was out shopping with my friends and just happened to pass by here. Coincidence, huh?”
“I heard your gaokao score was 518?”
Hearing this, Dragon Brother couldn’t resist bragging a little: “Yeah, 518—pretty awesome, huh?”
Seeing his smug face, Li Qing Xue burst out laughing.
“Yeah, super awesome,” she played along. “Maybe we’ll end up studying in the same city.”
“Oh, when you mention it, I just remembered— you still owe me two dinners.”
“You said you were starving, right?” Li Qing Xue said, but secretly pulled out the little cakes she bought today—delicious stuff—she bought two to take home.
“One small cake just to bribe me?” he grinned.
“Eat it,” Li Qing Xue said with a mischievous smirk, “Can’t keep your mouth shut without food.”
Her personality was a bit wild, and she had her own way of hanging out with friends.
As she watched Dragon Brother eat, Li Qing Xue gazed into the distance with a smiling eye.
Such a relaxing scene—no need to say anything, just sitting here feels so freeing.
Wait……
Why does this sound so familiar?
Obviously, Li Qing Xue seemed to remember it too.
Suddenly, her whole body tensed up—she didn’t want to sit or stand, had all her little nerves on high alert.
She sneakily glanced at Dragon Brother, then shook her head hard—must be her imagination, definitely her imagination.
“Are you hyperactive or something? Moving around in front of me, making my eyes all blurry,” Dragon Brother said teasingly.
Hearing this, Li Qing Xue stopped her little mischief.
She didn’t know what to say next.
Because in her eyes, Dragon Brother and Hu Yu Ying were both together… Why would she?
Why is she feeling so shameful……
“You’re underestimating me? Feeling something’s weird about you today?” Dragon Brother looked at her flushed face, her covering her face, mumbling—like she’s going crazy.
If they didn’t know each other already, she’d be thinking she’s having a seizure.
“I’m not weird at all,” Li Qing Xue insisted, trying to sound convincing.
“It’s already late. Let’s go home.”
“No way you’re leaving just after stuffing yourself,” she said, glaring.
Dragon Brother paused. “Then how about I stay with you tonight?”
Li Qing Xue’s face immediately turned red—fortunately, the sky had turned dark, so it wasn’t obvious.
“Who, who’d wanna stay with you?” she snapped and rushed ahead of him.
“Feeding your black skirt….”
Before she finished her sentence, she spun around angrily: “Stinky Dragon Brother, I knew you saw it! Ahhh, I’m gonna fight you now……”
Dragon Brother flicked her nose with one finger. “I didn’t see your black panties. I just noticed the black spot on your skirt—probably from mud when it rained yesterday. Remember to clean it at home!”
Hearing this, Li Qing Xue decided to let it go—then blinked, as if realizing something.
Turning her head, she saw Dragon Brother walking away, his back receding.
She pinched her tiny fist fiercely, feeling utterly powerless—no threat at all.
