Chapter 289: Does Dragon Brother Miss Me?
Watching Xue Shao Hua’s departing figure, Ye Liang Chen squinted his eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that he still needed Xue, he would have made it clear who the real boss was for showing off in front of him today.
He quickly retracted his gaze, looked up at the night sky and inhaled deeply, his mind filled with the image of Xue Shao Hua’s flirtatious impressions of Hu Yu Ying—something he had never even imagined in his previous life.
“Hu Yu Ying, I’ll show you who loves you the most in this world.”
“Though I’m the knight of redemption, even knights get tired and need some loving hugs.”
“What are you doing right now? Have you thought of me even for a split second…”
“Thinking of you.” Hu Yu Ying beamed and blushed like a little girl.
Every time Dragon Brother saw her cheeks flush, he felt an inexplicable itch in his heart.
Gentle, pure, all about him—how could he not be moved? Especially after that little girl had him wrapped around her finger, his resistance was paper-thin.
“Then, does Dragon Brother miss me?” Hu Yu Ying asked in a tiny voice, clearly aware that she had suddenly developed a strong dependence on him.
She would never have asked such a question before, but now she just needed to know. Clearly a silly question, yet she still wanted to hear him say he missed her too.
Hu Yu Ying couldn’t control this change. It was like every girl in love going through a mental shift.
“Miss you, every moment of every day,” Dragon Brother said with a chuckle.
“Hehe, happy!”
Receiving the answer she craved, the little girl was overjoyed.
Seeing her such a happy little girl, Dragon Brother almost burst through the screen to scoop her up, and tease her relentlessly.
As if she could read his thoughts through the screen, Hu Yu Ying smirked like a sly little fox, “No way, mister.”
Having seen Dragon Brother in his passionate moments, she knew exactly how much energy he had right now.
“Is that how you see me? Just a playboy in your eyes?” Dragon Brother pretended to be serious.
Facing the stern Dragon Brother, Hu Yu Ying innocently wiggled her slender fingers, “You’ve fooled me twice, Dragon Brother.”
Hearing this, Dragon Brother chuckled bashfully, even his thick skin couldn’t prevent him from blushing.
In order to enjoy some quality time with this little girl, he had indeed pulled her leg twice—awkward, really.
He instinctively wanted to say, “How about a little spanking?”
But those words got stuck in his throat and refused to come out.
The dynamics between them had completely flipped at some point.
With the little girl, he felt utterly helpless.
To scold her? He couldn’t bring himself to do it.
To tease her? He couldn’t muster the will either.
What was he to do? Spoil her, of course.
When they meet, he’d make sure to teach her a lesson. And when she begged for mercy, he wouldn’t let up either, heh…
The next day, life on campus went on as usual.
“If they call my name, just say ‘present’ for me.”
“You not going today?”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t forget we have that gathering in the afternoon.” Huang Fei reminded, which was mainly to ease the tension between Old Ao and Shen Meng Jie.
If Old Ao didn’t show up, Shen Meng Jie would definitely think he wasn’t interested and throw a fit.
“I’ll be back before the afternoon training for sure.” Dragon Brother replied and slipped on his coat to walk out of the dormitory.
“Ugh, Old Ao always acts so mysterious! It’s making me want to stalk him, just to see what he’s up to,” Xu Shuai joked, stretching lazily.
“Go ahead! I’ll support you in spirit,” Li Long Long laughed, adding, “But make sure to bring me breakfast when you come back!”
With the weather getting chilly, getting out of bed in the morning was tough—so warm and cozy under the blankets.
“Forget it! Last time, I was the one who brought the food, so this time it’s your turn.”
“No way, you were just running food to your girl Juan. Us brothers are just the supporting crew…”
“Hey, at least I brought something too…”
As Xu Shuai and Li Long Long traded jabs, Huang Fei was already sending a good morning text to Shen Meng Jie, confirming the time for the afternoon gathering.
T University had its perks—after the lectures and specialized classes, the remaining time was quite relaxed.
In the girls’ dormitory, when Han Xiao Jing heard Shen Meng Jie’s phone pinging with the Penguin alert, she shouted towards the bathroom, “Meng Jie, your phone’s ringing!”
“Coming!” Shen Meng Jie called back as she tied up her long hair, adjusting her clothes—with what looked like a fresh face mask still on.
“Thanks!”
Han Xiao Jing couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Shen Meng Jie. Ever since that campus network incident, Shen Meng Jie had stopped hiding her formidable green tea traits.
As a woman herself, she had to admit, in certain aspects, Shen Meng Jie really knew how to play the game. She resembled a dangerous yet charming villainous character.
Sometimes, Han Xiao Jing even wondered, if she were a boy, would she be attracted to Shen Meng Jie? The answer was a resounding YES.
“Can’t you tone it down a bit?” she said, annoyed.
Shen Meng Jie giggled, pulling Han Xiao Jing’s hand, “Today, Huang Fei is treating—wants to invite us to hang out.”
“Got it.” Wang Li Juan, who was also in the dorm, had her crush Xu Shuai over at Huang Fei’s dorm, so she’d definitely tag along.
But before leaving, there was a little question she wanted to ask.
So, Han Xiao Jing whispered, “Can I ask what your stance on Huang Fei is now?”
“Not sure.” Shen Meng Jie replied, hands tossing her phone on the bed as she squinted, “If I had to say, I think we’re friends now.”
After the campus network incident, Huang Fei still stood by her side. Even though she had clearly rejected him, his promise of a year made it hard to say no again.
Shen Meng Jie didn’t really know what that promise was worth, but as someone who loved to play, she was curious to see how it turned out.
That’s just her style—interests come and go swiftly…
As Shen Meng Jie left first, Wang Li Juan sighed, “I just don’t think they’re a good match.”
Xu Shuai had shared a lot with her, and given Shen Meng Jie’s current attitude, she felt compelled to voice her opinion.
Han Xiao Jing nodded, “Yeah, even we can see it; but Huang Fei still refuses to give up.”
“If he’s infatuated, it’s a shame it’s with Shen Meng Jie; with someone else, he might have made a deeper impact.”
Han Xiao Jing gazed out towards the balcony, “Who’s to say how it’ll turn out?”
“Let’s just hope Shen Meng Jie won’t regret this later…”
