The One Percent Willingness and Ninety-Nine Percent Unwillingness

Lin Xinhuai left after finishing his sentence. There were still quite a few classmates left in Junsha, so it wouldn't be difficult to arrange another gaming party at the e-sports hotel. He texted his girlfriend Yu Xue to report that he had indeed seen Miao Yingying and such, and then glanced at Qian Ning and Lu Yuan walking towards Bai Hui.

Lin Xinhuai smiled and greeted them, sighing inwardly. He understood perfectly how Qian Ning and Lu Yuan felt upon seeing Bai Hui again.

Men always find it hard to forget their first love, and also hard to forget the first woman they ever liked.

Their first loves were Xie Guangkun, Liu Neng, Zhao Si, Wang Laoqi, and Xie Dajiao. Even though they already had a house full of children and grandchildren, the men would immediately rush to their aid whenever Xie Dajiao needed help.

Some say first love is the first time you fall in love; others say it's the first time you like someone.

Miao Yingying was Lin Xinhuai's first love. They weren't together for long, but he had liked her for a long time. Now they've been separated for quite some time, and when they meet again, they act like ordinary friends. There's not necessarily much ambiguity left, but there's always a soft "I used to like you" in his tone and eyes.

I was heartbroken and resentful, but now I've truly let go. It's not that I have no feelings for her at all, but I will never expect or fantasize about getting back together with her.

Lin Xinhuai glanced at Qian Ning and Lu Yuan's expressions and knew their feelings for Bai Hui hadn't developed to the level Lin Xinhuai was currently in. They probably wouldn't even be able to talk to Bai Hui like ordinary friends.

"Why didn't you bring your girlfriends?" Bai Hui smiled when she saw Qian Ning and Lu Yuan. Although their occasional interactions after graduating from high school hadn't been pleasant, many girls had already honed their outward appearance skills before mastering bedroom skills.

Some of the students who came today brought their girlfriends along, but these "family members" were originally classmates from the same school, and everyone knew them... One of them, Luo Xiaoshi, brought a girl who had only started high school last year. Apparently, Luo Xiaoshi met her when she was only in her third year of junior high school. He's really worse than an animal.

Bai Hui had just heard gossip that Lu Yuan's girlfriend, Lin Li, came to Junsha to visit. She wondered if she was spending the New Year at Lu Yuan's house. Bai Hui was a little surprised. If she could also be so unreserved and clingy to him... well, that's nothing.

However, it doesn't matter whether Lu Yuan brings Lin Li or not today.

"Liu Chang'an didn't bring An Nuan either." Qian Ning looked at Bai Hui expressionlessly.

Miao Yingying glared at Qian Ning. Actually, Miao Yingying had gotten along well with Qian Ning and Lu Yuan Qian Ning high school, but they had become much more distant now, and she couldn't stand Qian Ning's sarcastic remarks.

Before Miao Yingying could speak, Bai Hui calmly said, "I chatted with An Nuan until midnight last night. She usually spends most of the Spring Festival at her maternal grandfather's house, but this year her family is enjoying themselves at a ski resort in Changbai Mountain."

"You're quite wealthy now, but your quality of life seems inferior to An Nuan's. Why do you always stay in Junsha? I never see you go to any islands or ski resorts." Lu Yuan said with a half-smile, then suddenly realized, "I understand, you need to plan your time well and take advantage of An Nuan's absence to poach her."

"I'll be furious!" Miao Yingying was absolutely livid. Although she supported Bai Hui poaching her boyfriend, she couldn't stand being mocked like this. What angered her even more was, "Don't you understand the saying 'let's part amicably'? Why make things so difficult that we can't even see each other again?"

Bai Hui pulled back Miao Yingying Miao Yingying, who was waving her arms and trying to shove Lu Yuan. After all, Miao Yingying was not Zhu Juntang. With a snap of her fingers, Zhu Juntang could send a whole Bread Man rushing over and beating Lu Yuan half to death. Miao Yingying didn't have that kind of power.

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Bai Hui looked at Lu Yuan coldly.

Lu Yuan and Qian Ning exchanged a surprised glance, then their eyes blazed with anger. How could she admit it? How could she possibly admit it!

"What I said today might sound a bit bitchy, but you forced me to. Don't you feel your pride is hurt that the girl you've liked for so long, pursued relentlessly but couldn't have, is now humbling herself and shamelessly chasing after a boy you used to look down on? You can't accept that?" Bai Hui sneered. "She'd rather have feelings for a boy who already has a girlfriend than give you a chance, and you feel resentful because you think she's aloof and noble in front of you, but shameless in front of others?"

Bai Hui finally understood. In the past, when Qian Ning, Lu Yuan, and their girlfriends made sarcastic remarks, she always endured it and looked aggrieved... But she was someone who could stand up to An Nuan, so how could she not fight back against Qian Ning and Lu Yuan?

What she said wasn't exactly what she truly felt, but it was a case of "sacrificing eight hundred of her own to inflict a thousand on the enemy," and what would be best if they were so angry they could physically attack her.

"Fine... fine, Bai Hui." Qian Ning pointed at Bai Hui, his hand trembling with anger.

"We were blind!" Lu Yuan roared angrily, then turned and left.

Qian Ning raised his hand, but ultimately didn't make a move. He snorted coldly and caught up with Lu Yuan.

"You're really ruthless. I'm afraid they'll hit you." Miao Yingying was startled and came back to her senses.

"They're not Liu Chang'an; they wouldn't dare hit people randomly," Bai Hui sighed. She realized she had indeed gone a bit too far with her words today... Now she understood why Miao Yingying had thrown away the shoes Lin Xinhuai had given her.

"Why do I sense you're a little disappointed? You actually wanted them to hit you?" Miao Yingying looked at Bai Hui strangely, then suddenly realized, "That's right, if they make a move, Liu Chang'an might intervene. Judging from Liu Chang'an's behavior in the things you've mentioned before, he'll most likely throw Qian Ning and Lu Yuan into Gao Dewei's pigsty, then hug you and shower you with affection."

"What nonsense are you talking about... What I just said was just to go along with Qian Ning and Lu Yuan's wishes and give them a piece of my mind, it wasn't true." Bai Hui quickly denied it, she didn't mean it at all. It was possible that Liu Chang'an would throw Qian Ning and Lu Yuan into the pigsty, but it was absolutely impossible for him to hug her and show her affection... He would just press her face and push her away to educate her.

"Okay, okay... come with me to find Gao Dewei." Miao Yingying pulled Bai Hui's hand.

Bai Hui stood still, but Miao Yingying pulled her along, almost dragging her, as she walked towards Gao Dewei and Liu Chang'an.

"Gao Dewei, I've booked the high-speed rail tickets back." Miao Yingying said to Gao Dewei. The journey from Junsha to school on the old-fashioned green train was really long. After Gao Dewei tried taking a leisurely trip to school once, stopping and starting along the way, he never tried it again. During the holidays, he always took the high-speed rail or a plane to and from school.

"Thank you, I'll transfer the money to you in a bit." After all, they were old classmates and often hung out together in Capital. Although Miao Yingying wasn't very bright, Gao Dewei felt that he had a good relationship with her. Their school start dates were around the same time, so they agreed to go back to school together. Miao Yingying offered to book the tickets, and Gao Dewei had no objection.

Bai Hui smiled slightly. Miao Yingying had obviously put thought into it; she had booked a sleeper berth, so Miao Yingying had also slept with Gao Dewei.

After racking her brains, she realized that she and Liu Chang'an had never spent such a long time alone together, especially one involving such an ambiguous element as the bed.

"You booked a sleeper train, right?" Liu Chang'an suddenly asked.

Miao Yingying was taken aback. Where did Liu Chang'an find out? She couldn't help but glance at Bai Hui beside her. No one but Bai Hui could have leaked this information to Liu Chang'an.

Bai Hui quickly shook her head.

"I've never ridden a high-speed sleeper before. Is it similar to a soft sleeper on a regular train?" Gao Dewei didn't seem to have any objections, but asked with some interest.

"Yes, I just want to be able to get there by sleeping, it's more comfortable than taking the daytime train." Miao Yingying quickly explained, while giving Liu Chang'an a fierce glare. This guy was obviously very perceptive of other people's little schemes.

Liu Chang'an smiled. As long as there are no snorers or smelly feet in the same compartment, the sleeper train is quite comfortable. However, there aren't many high-speed rail lines with sleeper trains. For example, there isn't one between Junsha and Lin'an. So when Liu Yuewang came to Lin'an to arrest someone, there was no sleeper train option for that night, and he could only take a regular train.

"What were you two talking about just now? You two seemed so secretive," Bai Hui asked. Actually, she had already seen Gao Dewei and Liu Chang'an talking about something, and they seemed quite engrossed in it.

"It looks quite interesting." Liu Chang'an glanced at Gao Dewei. "Should we tell them?"

"No way. What if they betray us later?" Gao Dewei looked at Miao Yingying and Bai Hui with a lack of trust.

"That's true. Throughout history, countless outstanding women have faced coercion and temptation with unwavering loyalty, righteousness, and heroic sacrifice." Liu Chang'an recalled many outstanding female martyrs, including Ye Sijin.

Bai Hui and Miao Yingying were somewhat confused. What exactly did Liu Chang'an mean? Wasn't he contradicting himself?

"Liu Chang'an means that only outstanding women are trustworthy and capable of participating, and you are clearly not." Gao Dewei looked helplessly at Bai Hui and Miao Yingying. "This is proof that you are not outstanding. You can't even grasp such an obvious meaning."

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Miao Yingying raised her hand and grabbed Gao Dewei's earlobe. "I'll tell Uncle Gao later that you went out to play without me."

Bai Hui couldn't help but chuckle. Miao Yingying's movement was so natural and practiced, so clean and efficient, as if she had rehearsed it countless times.

Unable to resist imagining herself pulling Liu Chang'an's ear, Bai Hui turned to look at Liu Chang'an's ear, only to find that Liu Chang'an seemed to be looking at her ear as well. After she noticed, he turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

Bai Hui felt her earlobes were soft and slightly warm, so she quickly raised her hand and pinched her ears.

"Go ahead and tell them, Chang'an." Gao Dewei said helplessly. This Miao Yingying only knew this one trick. If only he had Liu Chang'an's skills and strength, he could grab Miao Yingying and throw her into the pond.

It was just a thought; Gao Dewei wasn't physically incapable of dealing with Miao Yingying, he just didn't do it. If he had, his father, Gao Yuanshan, would definitely have thrown him into the pigsty.

"That's right. Gao Dewei discovered a tomb raider's tunnel on that mountain," Liu Chang'an said, pointing to a large, densely forested mountain in the distance.

After the college entrance examination last year, Liu Chang'an came to Gao Dewei's house to go boating. Bai Hui and Miao Yingying were also there. He met Li Hongfang Li Hongfang, who had discovered a large tomb in that mountain.

Later, when Li Hongfang started digging, Liu Chang'an even went to visit for a short while. Unexpectedly, Gao Dewei discovered the traces of the tomb raider's tunnel during the winter vacation.

"Chang'an said we could go take a look first. He has some knowledge of tomb raiding and can take me on a tour, so we decided to go on an adventure tonight," Gao Dewei continued.

Bai Hui and Miao Yingying stared blankly at the two people in front of them. They had only ever seen terms like "tomb raiding tunnel" and "grave robbing" in novels and movies.

"You even have some knowledge of tomb raiding?" Bai Hui stared at Liu Chang'an in disbelief; this was simply outrageous.

She didn't suspect Liu Chang'an of lying... he basically wouldn't think anyone was worth lying to.

What exactly happened in Liu Chang'an's life? Bai Hui couldn't understand how her classmates and friends could be involved in something like tomb raiding.

"He said he had some knowledge of it, and you just went along with him to do something reckless?" Miao Yingying looked at Gao Dewei angrily. How could you just get involved in something like this? Even if someone is a professional, you shouldn't get involved, let alone someone who only has some knowledge of it.

"You already know. It's either participate or be silenced," Liu Chang'an said coldly. That's why many men in the past wouldn't let women know when they were preparing to do something big.

"Does 'silencing' mean killing me?" Bai Hui looked a little scared, but she still laughed after she finished speaking. Actually, this wasn't the first time Liu Chang'an had threatened someone like this; she used to be quite frightened by him.

The first time was when he threw the two robbers off the bridge and then said he would imprison Bai Hui in the basement... Thinking about it now, Bai Hui was somewhat willing, but of course, she was 99% unwilling.

The second time was when he buried Guan Yuan, saying she was like a grasshopper on his rope, and if anything happened to Guan Yuan, she would be the real culprit, and he would just be the executor... If he were to lead her by a rope, like the chokers in many cute lingerie stores, where girls dress up as catgirls or doggirls and lead her, Bai Hui would be a little willing, but of course, she would be 99% unwilling, which could basically be considered as unwillingness.

"Remember when you guys had oranges stuffed in your mouths? I think you already know how to handle it if I stuff oranges in your mouths again, so to prevent you from leaking the information, this time I'm going to stuff two light bulbs in your mouths." Liu Chang'an looked at Bai Hui, then at Miao Yingying, "Let's start with Miao Yingying."

Hearing Liu Chang'an's calm tone, Miao Yingying felt a little scared. Although her rational mind told her that Liu Chang'an was joking, this man always had a way of influencing people's emotions, making it difficult for them to remain rational. Miao Yingying pushed Bai Hui towards Liu Chang'an, running and shouting, "Why me! Go and mess with Bai Hui!"

Gao Dewei said to Liu Chang'an, "I'll ask Miao Yingying to keep this a secret. If I don't give her a few extra instructions, she's likely to gossip."

After saying that, Gao Dewei went after Miao Yingying, leaving Bai Hui and Liu Chang'an standing there.

The afternoon sun and wind were gentle. Liu Chang'an watched Gao Dewei and Miao Yingying's backs before turning his gaze back to Bai Hui's face.
