After breakfast, Hu Yuying took Long Aotian for a stroll around the campus of University A. The campus was vast and beautiful. Walking down the pathways, they arrived at the sports field. Hand in hand, they wandered leisurely, occasionally locking eyes and sharing a smile in perfect unison.
"Long-ge, I don’t know why, but every time I look into your eyes, I just can’t help smiling. And my heart feels so incredibly happy."
"Maybe it’s just your heart acting up."
Even if I’ve seen your face a thousand times, every glance still leaves me mesmerized. My lips curl up unconsciously, my heartbeat racing out of control.
The look of love is impossible to hide.
"Long-ge, thank you."
"Even though I’ve already thanked you countless times, I still want to say it again—I really, really want to thank you."
If she had never met Long-ge, would she still be the same person? The person she was now—she adored her current self. Looking back at her past, gloomy self, she just wanted to hug that girl and tell her: You are worthy too.
Long Aotian gently stroked Hu Yuying’s long hair. He had met her on his very first day in this world.
Since then, he had watched her grow and change step by step into who she was now.It filled him with an indescribable sense of pride.
The Hu Yuying of today was the real Hu Yuying—no longer confined by the rigid expectations of books.
She was his little girl, his...
Hu Yuying tilted her face up, closing her eyes as she basked in the warmth of Long-ge’s touch.
It was strange—every time he patted her head, it felt different.
But no matter how it felt, it always ended with the same comforting reassurance.
"Meeting Long-ge was the best thing that ever happened to me."
"No, I’m the lucky one to have met you."
She took two quick steps forward, standing in front of him as the breeze brushed past. Her lips curled into a smile—so breathtakingly beautiful.
"Long-ge, can I ask you something?"
"Mm, sure. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you."
Seemingly satisfied with his response, Hu Yuying suddenly looked as sly as a little fox.
"Long-ge, when you first started liking me... did you ever think about doing... naughty things with me?"
This was something she had been dying to know.
Because every time Long-ge held her, it felt like he wanted to melt her into his very flesh. Such intense love must have been pent up for a long time, right?
Hearing this, Long Aotian froze, staring at her in disbelief. He hadn’t expected her to ask something like that.
"No hesitation, no lying—Long-ge, just tell me, okay? Please?"
Under her expectant gaze, Long Aotian took a deep breath and glanced away. "This field is really big..."
"Long-ge~"
"...I did!" Unable to resist her coquettish tone, his heart melted at the sound of her calling his name.
"Really?" A glimmer of something mischievous and delighted sparkled in Hu Yuying’s eyes, her gaze turning slightly seductive. "When was it?"
"You really want details?" Long Aotian lightly tapped the tip of her nose.
"Mm-hmm, all the details!" Watching the faint blush creeping onto Long-ge’s face, Hu Yuying finally understood why he used to love teasing her so much.
This feeling—it was so much fun!
"Do you remember when we first went to the capital together?"
"I remember. I’ll never forget it." That was the first time she had spent an entire night so close to Long-ge...
"That time on the train... I had a dream, and, well... ahem... yeah, that’s pretty much it." Long Aotian scratched his head awkwardly, feeling utterly shameless.
Hu Yuying’s cheeks flushed pink, her lips pressing together as shyness practically radiated from her.
Taking a deep breath, she rose onto her tiptoes and lowered her voice to a whisper, as if murmuring directly into his ear:
"So Long-ge was already dreaming about doing naughty things with me back then... You bad boy~"
Her eyes never left his face, watching with satisfaction as his blush deepened before finally relenting.
That single phrase—bad boy—sent Long Aotian’s heart into overdrive.
Looking at the soft, vulnerable Hu Yuying beside him, all his emotions dissolved into a sigh.
His fingers threaded through her silky hair, every touch sending another wave of affection washing over him, lost in the sweet temptation that was Hu Yuying.
If only he could have his way with her right now—he’d make sure she really understood just how much she affected him.
Sensing his heartbeat quickening, Hu Yuying wrapped her arms around him, tilting her face up with an innocent blink.
"Long-ge, Long-ge... I won’t tease you anymore..."
Looking at her like this, Long Aotian was at a complete loss.
She was the one who had ignited this fire, yet instead of keeping her distance, she was pressing even closer, offering herself up in his arms.
Was she truly this naive, or was she purposely tempting him?
"What am I supposed to do with you?" Long Aotian’s voice was laced with exasperated fondness.
"I’ll do whatever Long-ge wants. Whatever you ask of me, I’ll obey." Hu Yuying meant every word.
Her love for Long-ge was real. Her willingness to do anything for him wasn’t just empty talk—if he wanted it, she would give it.
Because she could feel how much he cherished her, how deeply he doted on her.
To Hu Yuying, Long Aotian was truly the best man in the world...
With him, she had nothing but honesty.
And for Hu Yuying, Long Aotian had nothing but endless adoration.
Glancing at Hu Yuying’s abdomen, Long Aotian suggested they take a break.
This was his first time experiencing something like this. Though it wasn’t confirmed yet, he still prioritized her well-being above all else.
Last night, he had searched online—apparently, it would take at least a week before a test could provide any answers.
They sat together on the grassy field.
Hu Yuying clung tightly to Long Aotian’s hand, resting her head against his shoulder.
His little girl was trying so hard not to burden him, always putting on a carefree front.
Only now did her true emotions finally surface.
"I—I’ll treat you well. Really, really well."
Hearing his words, Hu Yuying smiled against his shoulder. "I know. And I believe you."
Long-ge was her man—who wouldn’t trust the person they had chosen?
His promises were never empty. From the moment they met until now, his love for her had been evident in every little detail of their lives...
