Chapter 213: I am the Most Well-Behaved Little Sidekick
After parting ways with Qing Xue,
Hu Yu Ying returned to her dormitory.
She swung open the door — empty. No roommates, no laughter, no noise. She fumbled in the dark to turn on the light, and suddenly, every corner of her dorm was bathed in illumination.
Her three roommates had all gone home, leaving the place unexpectedly quiet, devoid of their usual cheerful chatter.
Hu Yu Ying washed her tiny feet, plopped onto her bed, and clicked onto Long Aotian’s penguin avatar.
“Brother Long, have you arrived?”
It didn’t seem like much time had passed since they parted, but Hu Yu Ying felt like ages had gone by.
She missed him — she missed him soooo much, really just wanted to be glued to him every second…
Soon, her phone vibrated. She hurriedly grabbed it.
Seeing Brother Long’s message, Hu Yu Ying’s bright eyes curved into a crescent moon.
“My roommates are all gone, I’m all alone here.”
Just as she sent that message,
Bing! — a video call from Long Aotian popped up.
She sat up swiftly, smoothing out the disheveled clothes from just lying on the bed.
But then she hesitated, pursing her red lips. She slightly pulled down her shoulders’ clothes.
After tidying herself up, Hu Yu Ying felt inexplicably excited, yet a little shy. She rolled around on her bed and finally tapped to answer.
The screen connected swiftly.
In the shot, Long Aotian sat upright on his bed, dressed serious and proper.
Seeing this, Hu Yu Ying softly called out, “Brother Long,” with a twinge of regret in her heart.
He was all dressed neatly, yet she looked so carefree and wild…
Her hair was tousled, her face partially hidden by stray strands, revealing a snow-white shoulder and collarbone…
Oh, so alluring.
It was an indescribable charm.
Long Aotian couldn’t help but glance a bit longer.
If a fully dressed Hu Yu Ying gave the impression of innocence and purity at first glance, making people feel warm and fuzzy, now, this slightly disheveled version gave off a different vibe — a madness to possess.
Even just the barest hint of skin made her seem almost completely n*ked in the imagination.
Hu Yu Ying was initially annoyed, but when she saw Long Aotian staring at her with wide eyes in the video, a tiny sense of pride bloomed inside her.
At least she still held a little attraction for Brother Long, right?
She felt herself growing more confident.
Being able to attract the person she liked was probably the most important thing.
“Cough cough, from now on, you’re not allowed to video call me dressed like that. Do you hear me? Look at me…”
“Okay, I got it, Brother Long! I’ll get dressed right away.”
“Hold on, except for Brother Long.”
Hu Yu Ying gave a small smile, eyes narrowing with a teasing glint, as if she were discharging electricity: “I only do this in front of Brother Long because it’s Brother Long.”
Only in front of him did she let herself go like this.
In Hu Yu Ying’s world, there were basically two types — Long Aotian and everyone else.
She was willing to be with Long Aotian, so she did it gladly. To her, this was simply beautiful.
But watching her dazed, wet eyes in the video, Long Aotian’s heart couldn’t help but race.
She was too pure — pure love, pure obsession, trusting him without bounds.
All of this was enough to stir any man’s heart.
Having a girl like her was basically finding an eternal treasure.
Hu Yu Ying’s simple “I want to,” and her wish for her own kind of life, sank deep into Long Aotian’s heart.
Maybe, in this lifetime, Hu Yu Ying wouldn’t be the business queen anymore, but she would surely be his queen.
The timid little sidekick who used to follow him around had changed so much — so much that he couldn’t see the old her anymore.
“What should I do with you?”
“I’ll be very good. Brother Long can totally handle Hu Yu Ying.” Hu Yu Ying once vowed to stick with Long Aotian, determined not to be a pushover anyone could mess with.
Now, all she wanted was for Long Aotian to handle her — because with him, she always felt so safe, like as long as he was here, she could be his little woman — dependent on him, relying on him.
Just then.
On the video call, Hu Yu Ying heard Long Aotian’s voice.
The dorm door swung open.
Huang Fei looked at Long Aotian, surprised. “Old Aotian, you’re back?”
Li Long Long couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing when he saw Long Aotian’s current look. “Whoa, old Aotian, what’s with this getup? Big shorts on the bottom, neat shirt on top? Is this the latest fashion?”
Haha!
In the video, Hu Yu Ying couldn’t hold it anymore and covered her face with a pillow, giggling.
She could even imagine what Brother Long looked like right now.
No wonder he’s sitting so stiff…
The serious Brother Long had become a little unruly.
Long Aotian, hearing Hu Yu Ying’s laughter, felt his face flush even though he was used to being tough-skinned.
It felt like he was trying to act properly but got totally caught.
This awkwardness was only embarrassing for Hu Yu Ying.
As Li Long Long still wanted to say more,
Long Aotian kicked off his slippers, annoyed, and threw them toward Li Long Long.
As he lifted his leg, Hu Yu Ying saw Long Aotian’s bare thigh.
Suddenly, her mind flooded with images: this afternoon, Long Aotian standing in the yard, showering with water splashing over him, his surprised face when she caught him…
Suddenly, the screen froze, and the call was cut off.
Hu Yu Ying stared at the disconnected screen, but her smile never faded.
She quickly tapped some text on her phone and sent it.
【Brother Long, don’t be shy. It’s okay, I’ve already seen everything, after all.】
After sending that message,
Hu Yu Ying pulled the blanket over her head and curled up into a ball.
She was so shy — if her past self saw her now, she wouldn’t even be able to say such words.
Back then, she’d blush at merely calling Brother Long handsome, much less say anything more.
But now, after Qing Xue’s touch, Wan Ning’s cuddles, she had become so strange.
She always wanted to tease Brother Long — especially now that he accepted her, her mood was even more tangled.
Now she finally understood why Brother Long liked to tease her.
Maybe, just like when she saw him red-faced, it felt so interesting.
Ding~
Her phone chimed with an adorable penguin notification.
Hu Yu Ying eagerly wormed her way out of the bedding.
Seeing the message from Brother Long, she proudly lifted her delicate nose.
“Brother Long wouldn’t really hit me,” she thought confidently.
“Because I am the most well-behaved little sidekick…”
