Lin Youxi prepared a sumptuous dinner for Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue's arrival.
Beef stewed with yam, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, cabbage stewed with bean curd and ham, plus the Chubei province's signature pork ribs and lotus root soup.
When Mei Fang brought out the dishes one by one, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue stared in amazement.
"Youxi, you are so good at cooking!"
"Give me your phone. I want to check if you ordered takeout."
"What's there to check? We have excellent cooking skills!"
Xia Yuan did not hesitate to praise Lin Youxi at the dinner table, "Her current cooking skills are basically the same as Mei Fang's mother's. I think she is even slightly better. She doesn't have to worry about the taste of home here at all!"
"No wonder Mei Fang doesn't miss home at all..."
Peng Xue stared at Mei Fang dimly and asked, "Are you happy here and don't miss Mei anymore?"
"Eat more food and talk less."
Mei Fang urged, "The last one to finish eating should wash the dishes."
Yue Xinyi couldn't believe it and immediately slammed the table and said, "Do guests have to wash dishes too?"
"What's the point of being a guest? Now that you're here, just treat this place as your own home!"
Xia Yuan happily watched Mei Fanghe and Yue Xinyi bickering. Lin Youxi was not only concentrating on eating, but also picking up food for Mei Fang from time to time.
"I don't like eating yam..." Mei Fang said with disgust.
"Eat more even if you don't like it. It's good for your health."
Lin Youxi warned, "You can't be picky about food at this age."
"You were obviously the pickiest eater before!"
"That was the past. Now I can eat anything."
Lin Youxi picked up a piece of yam and put it in her bowl. "I'll eat whatever you eat. Is that enough to be your role model now?"
"Okay..."
Mei Fang was communicating with Lin Youxi when Yue Xinyi suddenly stood up, covering her mouth with her hands and looking like she was about to vomit.
"Thank you, I can't fit any more."
"Is it not to your liking? Or is there some other reason..."
"No, no... that's not the reason..."
Lin Youxi obviously didn't want others to question her cooking skills, so she chased Yue Xinyi and questioned her all the way.
Xia Yuan was watching TV happily. When she saw that there was no beef in the bowl, she stretched out her bowl and asked Mei Fang to serve her some beef.
"I don't want fat, I want pure lean meat!"
"You are the only one who is in trouble."
Seeing Mei Fang concentrating on feeding Xia Yuan beef, Peng Xue watched from the side and shook her head.
Although both of them are interacting intimately, I don’t need to explain who is husband and wife and who is father and daughter, right
She originally thought that after the three of them lived together, the always proactive Xia Yuan would be able to make up for the disadvantage of not being in the same class with Mei Fang in the past, making Lin Youxi a loser who tried very hard but could never express her feelings well and could only silently bless her.
But now it seems that is not the case at all!
Our Yuanyuan used to have such a big advantage, how did she end up wasting like this
It’s really hard to understand…
Peng Xue held her chin with her hand and looked at Mei Fang who was interacting intimately with Xia Yuan.
I don’t know how far things have developed between him and Yuanyuan, and I don’t know if I should talk to him about that matter…
Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue arrived in Jiangcheng on the 1st and planned to play until they returned home on the 4th.
According to the itinerary that Xia Yuan arranged for everyone, they would rest at home on the 1st, visit the school on the 2nd, and then go to the city center to play;
On the 3rd, Xia Yuan arranged tickets for the music festival so that she could experience the festive atmosphere of the big city.
It's a pity that the day when Mei Fang was no longer needed did not come. The next day, he was dragged by the girls to play together, eat together, take pictures of the girls, and take group photos together.
"It's ridiculously big when you look at it from a distance, and it looks even more ridiculous when you're on campus!"
"I really regret not working hard and studying hard to take the exam..."
Everyone was walking around the campus. Lin Youxi was pulled away by Yue Xinyi to take a photo alone. Looking at the backs of Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, Peng Xue thought that now was a good opportunity, so she immediately stopped Mei Fang and said:
"Mei Fang, the pavilion in front looks beautiful! Let's take a photo over there."
"It's still you and Yuanyuan, right? That's fine."
Mei Fang took down the camera and was about to adjust it to take the photo, but Peng Xue shook her head and said, "Yuanyuan and I are tired of taking photos. You take a photo with Yuanyuan!"
"Me? I have taken a lot of photos with Ah Fang."
Peng Xue shook her head: "I mean, there shouldn't be many photos of you two taken alone, right? But, Yuanyuan, if you don't want to—"
Peng Xue tried to step forward and hold Mei Fang's arm. "Then, take a photo of Mei Fang and I together? I don't mean anything else. I just want to experience what it feels like to take a photo with a boyfriend..."
"You must be joking!"
Xia Yuan waved his fist to drive Peng Xue away from Mei Fang, and pulled her aside to complain about her: "Xiaoxue, you are so cute, you can find a partner easily if you want! Why do you always flirt with our Ah Fang?"
"It's easy to find a boy, but it's hard to find someone as reliable as Mei Fang."
Peng Xue held Xia Yuan close to her while whispering, "I reminded you before, maybe you didn't think it was a big deal at that time."
"Now everyone is growing up. If you don't take action or react too late, when others have already made their move, you will be the one who suffers."
"Yeah, I know what's going on, Xiaoxue! Ah Fang is not that kind of guy... He is very traditional and conservative."
"You'd better know what's going on in your mind... Let me remind you again, Mei Fang is much more mature than you think. Think carefully about the days you've been with him. It's impossible that he doesn't think about anything. He definitely knows how you feel about him."
Peng Xue patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, then called Mei Fang over loudly, saying that she wanted to take a photo of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang together.
"That's it... Come a little closer! Yuanyuan, are you usually this far away from Mei Fang? Come a little closer."
So Xia Yuan took Mei Fang's arm and smiled at her.
"By the way, why is Peng Xue so excited today... Did something good happen to her?"
"Hmm... I don't know either."
"Smile, eggplant!"
Peng Xue took a group photo of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang, and then invited Mei Fang to see the result together.
"Look, you two, don't you look like a young couple?"
"Um… "
Mei Fang did not directly and clearly express her opinion on the atmosphere of the young couple. She just complained that she looked too handsome in the photo and changed the topic.
If it were this time in the past, Xia Yuan would definitely chase Mei Fang and hit him on the head to laugh at his narcissism.
But this time Peng Xue was there, and she winked at Xia Yuan as soon as Mei Fang turned around.
"Look, he doesn't want to talk about this topic at all!"
This is what Peng Xue's face could clearly express.
In this way, with Peng Xue's reminder, Xia Yuan gradually began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Afang has been so mature since he was young. He should have been able to see a long time ago that Youxi and I both like him very much.
But what exactly did he think
Xia Yuan had almost asked this question before, so she didn't plan to ask it directly again.
After all, letting Ah Fang say it himself is indeed a very cruel thing not only for him, but also for Youxi and me...
So it’s best to maintain the status quo!
In fact, Xia Yuan had this idea not because of Peng Xue's reminder, but he always ended up thinking that maintaining the status quo was the best option.
So when Peng Xue asked Xia Yuan what she thought, she also told her own thoughts.
"I think it's best this way... After all, Ah Fang's own opinion is the most important, and I can't force him to like me."
Peng Xue was so angry that she kept calling Xia Yuan a stupid pig in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that I value your feelings, I would have chased Mei Fang long ago!
"What Mei Fang thinks may not be that important—at least not as important as you think."
"Because it seems to me that he may not even dare to think about these issues himself."
"Xiaoxue, what do you mean..."
"That is, is there a possibility that—"
Peng Xue held Xia Yuan's hand and whispered softly in her ear.
"Mei Fang doesn't even know in his heart which one of you he likes more."
"But if you give him a passionate push, he might just hug you and never let go of you, okay?"
There will be updates later.
