Chapter 325: Humility is Just Dust
Lin Wan Ning’s words caused Long Ao Tian’s heart to stumble.
He looked at her lying in his arms, eyes tinged with a faint redness, tangled black hair stuck to her smooth skin, and for a moment, a feeling of fragility crept in.
In this instant, Lin Wan Ning appeared like a fragile porcelain doll on the verge of shattering—just a gentle touch could send her into pieces.
“Is it worth it?”
“Just for someone like me.”
Honestly, at that moment, he had an uncontrollable urge to tear Lin Wan Ning apart. But when he saw her fighting back tears and holding them in tight, it was as if a string in his heart was plucked.
He knew—it was over.
She said she was her celestial devil star, entangling her emotions endlessly, making her complicated yet irresistibly drawn closer.
And yet, clearly, she’s always been his celestial devil star, the first to drag him into tangled chaos, making him utterly complex whenever he faced Hu Yu Ying. Now, step by step, they had come to this…
“Worth it,” Lin Wan Ning lifted her small face, seriousness in her eyes. “For you, everything is worth it.”
“You probably don’t even understand why I’m so obsessed. In fact, I don’t really know myself,” she admitted, body exhausted, leaning on Long Ao Tian. “But my heart keeps telling me—you are the one. Turns out, falling in love first captures your heart.”
“This is it!”
She slowly raised her fingertip and gently placed it over Long Ao Tian’s chest.
Looking into his eyes, she asked: “Brother, did you ever have a crush on Wan Ning—even just for a moment?”
Just from looks alone, Lin Wan Ning wasn’t inferior to Hu Yu Ying or Li Qing Xue.
Her figure was more than enough to rival the others.
Although she knew a lot, loved watching short videos, she was also absolutely pure and steadfast.
She once held beautiful hopes for love and the future.
But upon meeting Long Ao Tian, the classic rescue-the-beautiful routine materialized vividly in her life.
Lin Wan Ning even forgot why she was once surrounded and pointed at, judged by others.
But the scene of Long Ao Tian blocking her in front of everyone—remained engraved in her mind, never fading, never forgotten.
Feeling the heartbeat transmitted through her fingertips, Lin Wan Ning’s heart leapt with joy.
Softly, she pressed her head against Long Ao Tian’s chest: “Take me, won’t you? Treat me like Yu Ying if you want. Anything’s fine. Just take me…”
The first time, she used a silver bracelet.
The second, through a video, purposefully seducing and even threatening.
She wanted Long Ao Tian to take the initiative once—no tricks, no threats—just her becoming his complete form.
stolen happiness is fleeting, but it’s also intensely satisfying.
Carefully descending the stairs, her legs trembled uncontrollably, every step brought a wave of soreness.
She looked at the person beside her helping her and chuckled absentmindedly: “Am I really so weak?”
“Wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t cry?”
“But you’re so rough.”
“Who asked you to threaten me over and over again, and I just can’t do anything about it,” she sighed. “You’re also so naive. Why do you endure all of this in silence?”
“I’m scared—I’m afraid that if I say it hurts, you’ll stop loving me,” Lin Wan Ning’s words were humble down to dust.
She was obviously a very good, talented person, yet she showed such meekness before him—afraid just to make a sound.
How could someone be this foolish…
But Long Ao Tian never knew how much resolve Lin Wan Ning had to make this choice.
Her friendship with Yu Ying was real; her liking Long Ao Tian was genuine.
Involving her best friend’s man, she felt overwhelmingly guilty—she had placed herself at the very bottom, down into dust.
Calling herself a ‘mistress’—that alone showed she had truly forsaken all dignity.
Wanting her best friend’s boyfriend, that’s scandalous; yet she couldn’t stop, she was willing to follow her heart.
Even knowing that if caught, she’d face endless darkness and irredeemable stains…
But she just loved him so much…
After a brief silence, Long Ao Tian finally asked, “Want some fruit tea?”
“One cup isn’t enough—I want two,” she replied.
Her voice was hoarse from crying, rough and strained, yet the second time, her tone softened—so gentle, so blissful…
Turns out, love-making doesn’t necessarily have to hurt; it can be a soaring, cloud-reaching pleasure.
“Rest well.”
“Brother, are you caring for me?” Even though she could tell, Lin Wan Ning still asked, eager for affirmation.
Seeing her joyful expression, Long Ao Tian’s heart felt a little uncomfortable.
She felt more like a dancer on a blade—each step so cautious.
Always with a hint of tentativeness, as if rejection would instantly turn her back into dust.
She could have spared herself this, at school she was a cool, aloof campus belle—without exaggeration, over ten guys in every classroom pursued her.
But because of him, she willingly became a shadow in the dark, always cautious, always watching her face.
Suddenly, her mood dipped.
Mentally, she couldn’t fully accept it yet; physically, she was already utterly familiar with her.
A soft “Hmm,” a brief reply.
But that simple “Hmm” made Lin Wan Ning so happy.

A heavy “Hmm” again: “I will rest well.”
She still had tricks from her little videos she hadn’t even revealed.
She knew so many methods—once her body fully recovered, she would satisfy him to the greatest extent.
Lin Wan Ning also understood not to ask for too much, nor to bring unnecessary trouble to her brother.
Today, she experienced her brother’s tenderness; Wan Ning was so happy.
Parted from her brother, she walked back to her dormitory.
Just upon arriving, she collapsed—her body drained, her abdomen aching—she wanted to do nothing but lie down.
But her smiling face was so beautiful it overshadowed her discomfort.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller.
Answering, the screen immediately showed Li Qing Xue and Hu Yu Ying’s little faces.
Seeing Hu Yu Ying, Lin Wan Ning’s eyes instinctively flickered.
Like a noble lady’s maid meeting her mistress, or a younger sister seeing her older sister…
“Wan Ning, you look so exhausted,” Hu Yu Ying immediately sensed her tiredness.
Lin Wan Ning forced a smile: “Been training a bit too hard lately, now I’m totally worn out, just resting in my dorm.”
“Then come out for a bath tonight. A bath can relieve exhaustion,” Li Qing Xue joked. “I can help you knead your shoulders too.”
“Tomorrow, maybe,” Lin Wan Ning felt her body had truly reached its limit today.
The pain and pleasure brought by that enormous force trying to tear her apart consumed her energy and stamina.
All she wanted now was to lie down and rest properly…
