Mei Fang met Liu Xiaoyu at the end of the stone path in the bamboo forest on campus. She was dressed in a cheongsam and walking back and forth with her hands on her stomach, as if she was practicing her steps.
When she saw Mei Fang appear, she was stunned at first, and then she waved and greeted Mei Fang with a smile.
"What a coincidence!"
Mei Fang nodded, and then asked:
"Are you going to perform something for the Golden Autumn Festival? The cheongsam... well, it's pretty."
Liu Xiaoyu shook her head. "I'm not preparing a program. I was selected as the etiquette lady for the Golden Autumn Arts Festival. I'm responsible for presenting awards and guiding guests."
"Ah, so that's how it is..."
Mei Fang suddenly remembered, "Did Yuanyuan fail to win the election? Or did she not run for election?"
"She had a show to sign up for, so she didn't participate."
"Oh, that's it!"
Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu chatted about random things for a while. They wanted to leave but were too embarrassed to do so.
Although he repeatedly emphasized that Liu Xiaoyu's family's decline had nothing to do with her when comforting Xia Yuan, Mei Fang himself could not completely distance himself from the matter.
After all, it was Mei Fang himself who was the initiator of changing the past fate. Although he saved Yuanyuan's family, he left the pain to Liu Xiaoyu's family to bear.
If it was someone else he wasn't familiar with, it would be fine. Mei Fang would naturally try his best to compensate the other party financially and give the other party all the help he could.
But this person happened to be a good friend of his in his previous life, and they are still studying in the same school now. He always feels a complicated emotion.
Therefore, Mei Fang has always avoided having any private contact with Liu Xiaoyu. Even when trying to make amends, he always let Yuanyuan handle these matters.
"By the way, have you been learning fruit music recently? How does it feel to use that arrangement? Is it fun?"
"This is quite interesting. Xia Yuan even asked me to form a band with him!"
Liu Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head. "Unfortunately, I know too little about music theory. I only learned piano for a while when I was very young, and then... well, let's not talk about this anymore, haha."
In her previous life, Liu Xiaoyu was a talented and wealthy girl, and in this respect she was indeed very similar to Yuanyuan.
But because of her family's decline, she seemed to have no more opportunities to receive talent education, which made Mei Fang feel pressured.
So he immediately raised his voice to encourage her, "It's not too late to learn now! I also started learning guitar in the third year of junior high school. There are many musical instrument classes in the school's elective courses. If you study hard, you will be able to catch up quickly. You are not bad in talent."
"We haven't talked much, how do you know I'm talented?"
"Yuanyuan... Yuanyuan told me, haha."
Mei Fang scratched his head. "She said that you learn arranging music very quickly, and you can do it almost immediately. Yuanyuan is forming a band now, and she is still in need of a drummer and keyboardist. Since you learned piano when you were a child, I think you are quite suitable to be a keyboardist."
Liu Xiaoyu nodded, "I just told Xia Yuan that I wanted to be a keyboardist. This is inextricably linked to the composition itself. I think it is quite suitable for my future development..."
Mei Fang felt relieved after hearing this. "Well... if you want to learn more professional courses, you can go for it! If you are short of money, I can also lend you some—"
Mei Fang regretted what he said as soon as he said it. In this life, he and Liu Xiaoyu were not actually very familiar with each other, so he would not do this for her.
Liu Xiaoyu also expressed his refusal.
"Well... Thank you for your kindness, but it's better for me to work on this myself. After all, you have helped me enough."
Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "In fact, I also understand that the arrangement work in your studio is actually a way for Xia Yuan to compensate me. She is really a very kind girl."
"However, I think this is also a good opportunity to train myself, so I didn't refuse. I want to do the assigned work well."
Mei Fang quickly smiled and waved his hand, "Don't say that! Your job is actually not easy to do. It's just that you can help with music theory."
Besides, you have always been interested in games, and it is hard to find a helper who can take both into account...
Liu Xiaoyu nodded. "Actually, I borrowed Xia Yuan's phone and played the games you guys released. They are really amazing! I didn't expect that you guys could make and sell your own games at such a young age."
Liu Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled. "I really envy you guys. We grew up together, doing things that interest us together, and developing games that interest us. It's really great to have the same aspirations!"
“Yeah… Yeah, everyone says that!”
The awkwardness that Mei Fang felt during their initial conversation with Liu Xiaoyu was soon overcome by the joy of sharing similar interests.
Despite their different circumstances, the two of them clearly had a lot to talk about.
As for the Overlord who tricked Mei Fang into the bamboo forest, at this moment he went to another place to act cute and coquettishly, meow meow meow.
Soon, her attention was drawn to a creature named Xia Yuan nearby.
"This fat cat is so funny! Tsk tsk... I wish I could have a cat..."
Teacher Yu is allergic to furry animals, so Xia Yuan's family has never had any pets.
Xia Yuan teased Ba Wang for a while, and then followed Ba Wang along the road. As they walked, they arrived at a small bamboo forest.
Ah, isn’t that Afang
Xia Yuan wanted to shout loudly and wave to Mei Fang, but she found that Mei Fang was chatting enthusiastically with her classmate Liu Xiaoyu.
Hey, you two are having a great time chatting.
So Xia Yuan quickly hid under a bench nearby and leaned his head to watch the conversation between the two.
Woohoo…
Why do all the girls around me seem to be attracted to Ah Fang
Xiaoxue was like this before, and now Xiaoyu seems to have the same signs...
Look how happily she smiles when she is chatting with Alfang!
He never smiled at me like this before, and it was obvious that he still had some grudge against me.
Should I step forward and interrupt their conversation right now, show off my close relationship with Afang, and nip Xiaoyu's ridiculous idea in the bud
But wouldn't that make me seem too jealous and then be laughed at by Ah Fang
And... I also want to know why Ah Fang treats other girls differently from me...
At this time, Xia Yuan noticed that Liu Xiaoyu was wearing a beautiful cheongsam.
Huhu, is Xiaoyu training the etiquette lady’s walking skills today
The dress is so beautiful!
Actually, I have one too... If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the Miss Etiquette selection as well.
Xia Yuan tried to imagine Mei Fang's excited look when she saw her wearing a cheongsam.
"Oh, my lovely sweetheart, Yuanyuan, I didn't expect you to be so charming in a cheongsam. I can't resist the urge to hug you! I need your Yuanyuan super energy, now, immediately, right now! Please don't reject me!"
"Fang, you are such a bad boy, don't, don't be like this! Really... How can you be so anxious... Give it to you, I will give it to you..."
whee…
Xia Yuan covered her blushing cheeks and laughed secretly, but then she thought of another thing:
He has seen other girls wearing cheongsams now. I am not the first one, so maybe I don’t feel as stunning as her…
Thinking of this, Xia Yuan suddenly became very depressed.
Just when she was about to become sentimental, someone tapped her head gently.
"… "
Xia Yuan raised her little head and pursed her lips, looking at Mei Fang who had a calm face.
"What are you doing squatting here?"
"I, I'm playing with cats! I just met a really big, fat orange cat, you know? It was quite close to me! That cat, I tell you, was so big and so fat!"
Xia Yuan was using exaggerated gestures to imitate the orange cat Overlord that she had just seen with Mei Fang. Then she saw the cheongsam girl Liu Xiaoyu behind Mei Fang making a lucky cat gesture to her, and then she said goodbye to Xia Yuan with a smile and left
Although it was possible that Liu Xiaoyu did not mean that at all, Xia Yuan suddenly felt a little offended.
The supporting point is fate!
You are Afang’s childhood sweetheart whom he has known for ten years, so what are the others
No one in this world can surpass the bond between you and Alfonso!
Ah, yes, yes, Youxi is definitely an exception.
What are you afraid of? Just ask if you have anything to say!
So Xia Yuan became tough. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on Mei Fang's chest. "What were you talking about with Xiao Yu just now? Why were you so happy?"
"Why do you have to speak to my heart? Are you afraid that I will lie and my heart will beat faster?"
"No, I just want to touch you!"
Anyway, there is no one else here now, so Xia Yuan no longer cares about his image.
"Liu Xiaoyu first asked me what a coincidence, and then I said it was indeed a coincidence, and asked her if she was preparing for a performance. Then she said no, she was training the steps of the etiquette lady. I asked Yuanyuan if she would participate, and she said she had other performances, so she couldn't participate in the selection of the etiquette lady—"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xia Yuan grabbed Mei Fang and said, "I don't want to hear you talk about such details. I'm not so stingy that I want you to explain every word."
"I'm just worried that you might be worried."
Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan's forehead and said, "I promised you a promise, how could you forget it?"
"Um... which one?"
Mei Fang reached out and pinched Xia Yuan's face. "'We are students, we should focus on studying and not think about random things, such as getting too close to girls'. This is what we agreed on... Have you forgotten the childhood sweetheart agreement?"
"So..." Xia Yuan's eyes were filled with shock. "You have always told us that as students we should focus on studying. Is it because you have been fulfilling this promise?"
"What else?" Mei Fang frowned and said, "I'm not a person who doesn't keep his word. I'm not like you guys who told me not to enter my room but still went in the next few days."
"That's different... We did it to catch the tail end of the National Day. After all, we can't play like this when Auntie is around."
Xia Yuan thought about it and then put his hands on his hips to look very cool, "We are childhood sweethearts, what's wrong with sleeping together? We have slept together since we were young, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Hey! Keep your voice down... Do you really think there's no one around here?"
Mei Fang hugged Xia Yuan and covered her mouth, but was bitten by Xia Yuan with her pearly teeth.
"Woooa ...
Xia Yuan groaned in dissatisfaction:
"I want to leave my mark on you, so that when you get too engrossed in talking to other girls in the future, you'll feel guilty when you see the mark."
"You said you weren't jealous just now? You little jealous guy..."
As Mei Fang spoke, he suddenly hugged Xia Yuan and buried himself in her arms.
"What are you doing? In broad daylight!"
Although Xia Yuan was very shy, she did not push Mei Fang away.
"You come to me to replenish your energy every day, so can't I replenish your super energy? Yuanyuan super energy, I need it too."
"Okay, okay... I really can't do anything about you..."
Xia Yuan stroked Mei Fang's head and pulled him over, "Sit here, I'll teach you a lesson... Then go back and attend class and listen carefully, okay?"
"I know." Mei Fang's voice was a little unclear because his face was buried so deep.
It turns out that only in front of Yuanyuan Youxi can I be myself so carefree.
Other girls just can't make me relax like this.
Liu Xiaoyu is a very good girl.
She is strong, independent, considerate of others, and strives to pursue her dreams even when she is in trouble. They have similar interests and hobbies, and they may work together in the future to accomplish something big.
But she is not Mei Fang's girl, and Mei Fang will not be her boy.
The story of the previous life has never been unfolded, and there will be no more ties in this life.
Mei Fang's story in this life had already begun at the moment of his rebirth.
Mei Fang decided not to avoid Liu Xiaoyu anymore in the future.
He had nothing to feel guilty about.
Thank you all for still loving my underworld updates.
