Chapter 178: The Luckiest Person in the World
“Bro.” Lin Wan Ning called out to Dragon Brother.
“What’s up?” Dragon Brother looked at Lin Wan Ning, puzzled, sensing that she seemed kinda off.
He wondered if he had said something wrong.
The next second, a soft, fragrant body threw itself into his arms.
Her body was very soft—like water, as the old folks always say. That saying isn’t without reason.
For a moment, Dragon Brother dared not to move.
After a long pause, Lin Wan Ning’s voice slowly sounded out: “Bro, you’re really lonely.”
From Dragon Brother’s words, Lin Wan Ning initially started as a listener, gradually feeling something inside.
She sensed that her big bro was so lonely, like he’d lost many years of his life, like he’d suddenly woken up from a dream, a complete stranger to everything around him.
He had no friends by his side. His life was so monotonous he didn’t even know what to do with himself for a while.
Yeah, at first, Lin Wan Ning thought her brother helped Hu Yu Ying.
But actually, it wasn’t that simple. In helping Hu Yu Ying, her brother also found a way to save himself.
Hearing the word ‘lonely’ from Lin Wan Ning’s mouth.
Dragon Brother stiffened for a moment, then his nose and eyes suddenly twitched with discomfort.
Lonely.
Waking up in a strange world, surrounded by unfamiliar people, feeling like an alien among them.
Why did Dragon Brother initially enjoy silence upon entering this world? Because lonely people love silence.
Why could Dragon Brother understand Hu Yu Ying? Because he saw the same loneliness in her.
Teaching Hu Yu Ying step by step to change—wasn’t that also gradually changing himself?
Dragon Brother took a deep breath, desperately holding back the sourness in his eyes and nose, pretending to smile softly as he patted Lin Wan Ning’s back: “Alright, alright, if I knew you’d get so sentimental, I wouldn’t have let you say it.”
“Get up quick—are you trying to take advantage of me?”
Lin Wan Ning’s emotional collapse was triggered by Dragon Brother’s words: “Who’s taking advantage of you… I… I’m just saying, you’ve got a little sister now… You’re not lonely anymore…”
Turns out everyone has a facade. Turns out, even someone like Dragon Brother has their fragile side.
“Listening to you, I feel like I might be the luckiest person in this world,” Dragon Brother joked.
Lin Wan Ning smiled: “Then I supposed I’m also a lucky person.”
Life is full of countless calamities. Luckily—no, fortunate that the hurdles happening to oneself have been blocked by her brother.
Beating the bad guys. Protecting oneself and one’s reputation. Isn’t that also a kind of luck?
The two fell silent for a moment, under the trees, street lamps, and the starry night—the peaceful atmosphere.
This cozy feeling softened all the previous nonsensical feelings.
“It’s late. I’ll send you back,” Dragon Brother finally said after a long moment.
“Mm.” Lin Wan Ning nodded.
…
After sending Lin Wan Ning back to the Music Academy, Dragon Brother returned to his dorm.
Seeing the three brothers, Dragon Brother’s mood suddenly took a drastic turn.
“Old A-Oh, you’re finally back! Guess what club we signed up for?”
“Totally awesome, bet it’s a big benefit.”
“Hahaha, you’re so sleazy, Old A-Oh probably can’t guess it.”
Who could be so downhearted in such an environment?
“Swimming club! Old A-Oh, you couldn’t guess, hahaha! So cool, so super cool!”
“Can you believe we actually HAVE a swimming club at our college?”
Dragon Brother chuckled: “Pretty good. I believe in you guys!”
Hearing that, the three immediately straightened their spines: “We’re not outsiders, Old A-Oh!”
“Brothers should share everything, right?”
“Exactly, our 147 Four Great Kings can only move together.”
“So, we signed up for it too. Let’s party, hahaha…”
Hearing that, Dragon Brother laughed with them, cracking a smile.
“Old A-Oh, I kinda feel like your smile’s kinda fake. Like you’re not really that happy.”
This made Dragon Brother laugh even more—almost crying from laughter, shaking his head and looking at the three of them: “I swear I can’t swim!”
As soon as he said that—
The three instantly stopped laughing.
Xu Shuai: “I forgot—I still haven’t washed my underwear.”
Li Long Long: “Oh well, time to sleep.”
Huang Fei: “Um, I’ll go out on the balcony for a smoke.”
“Hold on, let’s discuss something—truthfully, I think I could probably give you guys an arm…” Dragon Brother hadn’t finished his words.
Suddenly, three figures dashed out of the dorm.
Dragon Brother stiffened, turning to stare at the open door and the three vanishing figures: “You son of a—!”
No surprise there.
Swimming is part of the sports department, after all.
In Huang Fei’s words, a real man faces his shortcomings head-on.
Saying he’d help Old A-Oh adapt early, but who really knew what he was thinking in his heart?
“After the new club orientation, we’re gonna have a little intro gathering. Let’s come early and get familiar.”
“Old Huang went all out booking it—bicolored swim caps, goggles—all ready. Just accept it, no use fighting it.”
“Honestly, Old A-Oh, if I had your body, I’d be showing off every day, no problem!”
Hey boss, there’s more coming in this chapter, so click next to read more—more exciting stuff ahead!
Dragon Brother rolled his eyes at Huang Fei: “This kid probably saw Shen Meng Jie join the swimming club, right?”
Huang Fei didn’t mind, grinning: “Who asked you to be out of the dorm all the time—dancing around outside? Didn’t see the strategy for our dorm.”
As Dragon Brother started undressing, the three corners of their mouths twitched: “I feel like calling Old A-Oh here might’ve been a mistake…”
This mood, walking through a quiet corridor into the swimming pool, instantly vanished.
“This is way more exciting than checking out long legs on campus.”
“Let’s be serious—don’t embarrass our 147 Four Great Kings’ reputation.”
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the pool, heading toward the edge, seemingly about to come ashore.
“Eh! You guys are here too?” Zhang Meng Meng greeted with a smile.
“So coincidental, you’re here too,” Huang Fei said with a smile.
Seeing Huang Fei, Zhang Meng Meng rolled her eyes—what does ‘so coincidental’ even mean? She still didn’t quite know what Huang Fei was thinking: “Meng Jie is over there.”
“Thanks!” Huang Fei said, quickly walking toward the direction Zhang Meng Meng pointed.
Watching Huang Fei’s retreating silhouette, Zhang Meng Meng’s lips twitched helplessly, inhaling a deep breath.
She looked away, but the muscular, eye-catching figure in front didn’t leave.
A question arose: why didn’t he go too? Could it be waiting for her?
Thinking that, a flush appeared on Zhang Meng Meng’s face as she took a glance at Dragon Brother from a lower angle. His impressive build stood out starkly, making her instantly look away hurriedly: “Why aren’t you going?”
“I can’t swim. The shallow end is just right for me,” Dragon Brother chuckled from the water.
Hearing that, Zhang Meng Meng nodded lightly.
Watching water droplets slide down his muscular body, leaving streaks of wetness, she couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.
“His body’s really amazing…”
【You know, meeting because of a novel—does that count as fate? For me, it’s also a kind of luck. Really, thank you all for supporting the bald eagle.】
