After finishing the meal, Long Aotian went to the restroom.
It was Hu Yuying's first day transferring, and she didn't know many people here; facing an unfamiliar environment, she didn't wander around but waited in place.
As long as Long Aotian came out of the restroom, she would be able to see him.
"You can eat slowly first!" Ye Liangchen said, then adjusted his hairstyle using the reflective surface of his spoon.
He then walked towards Hu Yuying: "Hi, hello."
Hu Yuying, waiting in place, suddenly heard a magnetic, deep, bubbly voice.
She couldn't help but look up towards the source of the sound.
She saw a handsome young man, a smile playing on his lips, raising his hand to greet her while walking towards her.
"Do we, do we know each other?" Hu Yuying looked at the young man in front of her and asked softly.
Ye Liangchen took in the expression on Hu Yuying's face, feeling incredibly fortunate about his decision.
The day they met in his dream, just a moment of eye contact, it was as if they could see the trauma in each other's hearts—an indescribable sense of destiny.
But at this moment, Hu Yuying only looked at him with a confused, bewildered gaze.
He felt a little sad inside; his former Treasure Girl would always smile the first time she saw him.
It was as if his mere presence could bring her joy and happiness.
But now, the way she looked at him was very bland, like a random passerby he might encounter on the street.
However, it didn't matter; he would soon become her life's salvation.
The sense of destiny between them just hadn't begun yet!
Once the sense of destiny was activated, their entanglement would be inextricable!
It was just that the time hadn't come yet!
Taking a deep breath, he confidently flicked his hair: "Hello, classmate, my name is Ye Liangchen, and I hope to be friends with you."
After speaking, he bared his teeth and smiled brightly, showing his sunny, cheerful, and adorable side to Hu Yuying.
After the incident with Wang Shuo, Hu Yuying instinctively didn't want to make friends with male classmates.
And when faced with things she didn't like, Hu Yuying would instinctively respond with silence.
Ye Liangchen's outstretched hand stiffened in mid-air.
The smile on his lips gradually gave way to a hint of awkwardness.
Indeed, if he didn't appear at the right time, there would be no sense of destiny.
Fortunately, Ye Liangchen had already prepared himself mentally before coming over.
He came this time just to leave an impression on Hu Yuying.
Because in his dream, she was his Treasure Girl.
Seeing her again, even though she no longer had the memories from his dream, the flutter in his heart had not diminished in the slightest!
It's alright, there's plenty of time, and a long life ahead; they will meet, get to know each other, become intimate, and then develop feelings for each other, walking together for a long, long time, just as planned, at the fated place.
This time, he must strengthen his mental preparation and not let excitement lead to insufficient blood supply, ultimately...
This time, he would live happily ever after with his three beautiful brides until the end of his life...
Clutching this belief, Ye Liangchen nonchalantly withdrew his hand that had stiffened in mid-air.
"You don't need to be so wary of me; I don't have any ill intentions towards you."
Ye Liangchen knew that Hu Yuying's heart was still closed at the moment.
He himself had only truly opened her heart after going through many things with Hu Yuying.
He couldn't rush it, or it would appear too deliberate and have the opposite effect.
Just then, Hu Yuying's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ye Liangchen paused, then a smile also appeared on his lips.
Because he was too familiar with that look; it was exactly the same as the look Hu Yuying had in his dream when she saw him.
He subconsciously thought that Hu Yuying, his Treasure Girl, had also been reborn.
Because just now she was looking at him warily, but now she was giving him such a look!
"Are you also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yuying directly walked past him and headed towards the back.
Ye Liangchen's body stiffened, the smile on his face instantly vanished, and he turned around in confusion to look at Hu Yuying.
As a result, he saw that Hu Yuying was actually walking towards that bastard Long Aotian!
Rage!
Such rage!
His gaze towards Long Aotian instantly turned cold.
"Long Aotian, your good days are coming to an end!"
He could understand Hu Yuying's current predicament; if she resisted, she would suffer even more cruel humiliation and bullying from Long Aotian. Everything she was showing now was merely to pander to that bastard Long Aotian.
Because only this way could she protect herself and suffer less bullying and torment!
"Brother Long, wipe your hands." Hu Yuying tore off a lot of paper towels from the dispenser on the wall pillar in the school cafeteria; she had been preparing them all along.
She was truly a qualified Little Follower.
"Hmm, good, you're getting more and more clever now." Long Aotian praised her without reservation.
No one dislikes being praised, even for a very simple thing.
Just like now, hearing Long Aotian say she was good and that she had become clever, Hu Yuying would be very happy, because she, who had always been denied no matter what she did, experienced the feeling of being affirmed with Long Aotian, so she was happy.
Long Aotian frowned slightly; he felt someone looking at him.
This feeling of being watched was quite obvious!
So he looked up in the direction of the gaze.
He only gave a faint glance before retracting his gaze.
Long Aotian only knew the male protagonist was named Ye Liangchen, but he didn't know what he looked like.
When Ye Liangchen saw Long Aotian look at him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The fear and the ruthlessness of that bastard Long Aotian, even after being reborn, still caused a tremor in his heart!
However, upon seeing Long Aotian only glance at him before retracting his gaze, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes!
He almost forgot, at this time, he and Long Aotian had no interaction whatsoever.
The current Long Aotian naturally didn't recognize him.
He wasn't like him, a reborn person!
If he were a reborn person, having been driven to bankruptcy by him in his dream and ultimately dying miserably on the street clutching half a moldy fried dough stick, with his temper, he would have already come to fight him to the death.
How could he be so calm upon seeing him?
Moreover, although his current body was 18 years old, his soul was 28 years old; he could tell that Long Aotian's glance just now was absolutely without any pretense.
He truly didn't recognize him!
"You just wait, with the memories from my dream, I am no longer someone you can casually humiliate!
In this life, you are destined to look up to me!"
This was the confidence and courage that rebirth brought to Ye Liangchen.
He was indeed no match for Long Aotian now, but thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man in poverty!
Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Yu Ying, bear with it for a while longer; in this life, I will definitely protect you!"
He secretly made up his mind, then returned to the dining table.
Meanwhile, Hu Yuying had long forgotten about Ye Liangchen and happily trotted after Long Aotian, leaving the cafeteria.
