"What are you dressing up for?"
Xia Yuan blushed and yelled at Mei Fang, "You just want to help me change my clothes, right? I won't let you take advantage of me for nothing, you stinky Ah Fang!"
"Uh, when I say dressing up, I mean helping with hair tying or something like that... What are you thinking of?"
Mei Fang's explanation made Xia Yuan stunned for a moment, and then he punched Mei Fang a few times in anger:
"You, what you said is too deceptive, you said it on purpose!"
"Hehe... You found me."
Mei Fang just teased and then prepared to walk out of the house, "Then I'll go out and wait for you to change your clothes?"
"Why are you running away? If you said you would serve me, then serve me well..."
Xia Yuan muttered to Mei Fang, "Help me open the closet and help me pick out what to wear today."
Mei Fang opened the wardrobe as Xia Yuan instructed, and the wardrobe was filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes.
"When did you buy so many clothes... I don't think you've ever worn many of them."
"No way... You just didn't pay attention."
Generally speaking, girls will not show their wardrobes to boys casually. After all, there may be some clothes in them that cannot be shown to others and can only be worn by themselves to appreciate.
But if you like a boy, that’s a different matter.
Mei Fang carefully took out a black spinning dress from the closet and showed it to Xia Yuan.
"This looks like a dress. I don't think I've seen you wear it very often."
"This is pajamas, you idiot... Can't you tell it's so thin? And this is Youxi's pajamas."
Xia Yuan pulled her hair in embarrassment, "My clothes are on the right, and Youxi's clothes are on the left, remember not to take the wrong ones."
"Can't Youxi choose her clothes?"
"What strange things you say!"
Xia Yuan blushed and grumbled, "Afang was so weird this morning, and where did Youxi go? Is he preparing breakfast?"
"Ah... Youxi, today is your birthday, and she plans to give you a surprise."
"so… "
Mei Fang finally discussed with Xia Yuan and picked out a pure white skirt. Xia Yuan asked Mei Fang to find all the clothes and socks and put them beside the bed.
"Then you turn around and stand over there."
Xia Yuan added, "Don't peek."
“Okay…” Mei Fang raised his hands and turned his back.
If you don't want me to see it, why don't you just let me wait outside the door
I have to listen to a sound in the house...
Mei Fang was complaining when he suddenly noticed Yuanyuan's favorite full-length mirror placed at an angle next to him. Xia Yuan in the mirror had just taken off her pajamas and was about to untie the belt. Mei Fang quickly stopped her and then covered her eyes consciously.
"Wait, wait! Yuanyuan, wait a minute. Mirror, mirror! Move forward first."
"… "
Mei Fang heard the sound of Xia Yuan walking barefoot on the floor behind him, and then getting up to move the mirror.
"Okay."
Then Mei Fang waited until Xia Yuan reached out and poked him on the back before he turned around with peace of mind.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Xia Yuan held her skirt and gently turned around in front of Mei Fang.
"She looks so pretty, like a little princess."
"She's already a princess."
Xia Yuan said as she walked to the dressing table and sat down, "You can help me tie my hair now."
"Um... OK."
Mei Fang walked behind Xia Yuan, picked up the comb and gently combed her long hair.
"Come to think of it, I was the one who taught you how to comb your hair, Fang. Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember this. When we were playing house before, we used Youxi as a model and you taught me step by step how to do different hairstyles."
Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi spent a very happy childhood, and at the same time he learned a lot of knowledge and skills that only girls knew from Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. This was a huge advantage he had as a childhood sweetheart compared to other boys.
After all, Mei Fang is fully aware of all the taboos of girls and knows how to take care of girls. It can be said that he is a warm man since his debut.
"By the way, what kind of hairstyle do you want today?"
"I want the one that Ah Fang likes." Xia Yuan smiled at Mei Fang in the mirror with squinted eyes.
“Then there are many things I like…”
Mei Fang thought about it and said, "Since there are many opportunities today, let's try them all."
Mei Fang styled Xia Yuan's hair into a ponytail, a bun, a side ponytail, a braid, and finally she chose double ponytails.
"If you had known it was such an easy hairstyle, would you have regretted having your hair braided in the first place?"
"Haha, that's good."
After Mei Fang helped Xia Yuan tie her hair, she let Yuan Yuan tidy herself up before getting up.
"Sister Yueyue, are you awake yet? What are we going to have for breakfast?"
"Sister Yueyue was busy with work today and left early. Let's have scrambled eggs, bacon and toast this morning."
"Wow, it sounds very high-end. Is it made by Youxi? This must be the surprise."
"I did."
"Uh... If you think about it, it's just a simple bacon sandwich, right?"
"You seem to be treating me differently."
"snort."
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang happily enjoyed breakfast just for the two of them. Such opportunities to be alone with A Fang were rare, and Xia Yuan did not waste them. She took the initiative to act coquettishly and asked Mei Fang for food, and Mei Fang also cooperated very well.
"What are the plans after dinner?"
"We'll go shopping in the mall first, have lunch together outside at noon, watch a movie in the afternoon, and then come back to celebrate your birthday."
Xia Yuan took a spoonful of scrambled eggs that Mei Fang fed him and said, "So, Youxi is waiting for us at the mall?"
“No.”
"I know, I know. It's a surprise."
Xia Yuan made an OK gesture to Mei Fang, then hung her bag and went out happily with Mei Fang.
By the way, Ah Fang’s arrangement really looks like a couple going on a shopping date.
In the past, when the three little ones went out together, Xia Yuan always hugged Youxi, and Mei Fang never had the chance to hold one of them on each side. Instead, she walked aside like a passerby or a light bulb.
But today, Xia Yuan can completely hug Mei Fang's arms and indulge in sweetness.
"Afang, that dress is really nice."
"Wow, these earrings are so pretty!"
"I can buy it for you if you want, but when did you get your ears pierced? I don't even know."
"Of course I haven't played it before. Why buy earrings? You don't have to buy them just because they look nice. You don't understand."
"Wow... this is so delicious!"
Xia Yuan held her chin and excitedly shouted to Mei Fang, "Youxi will definitely like this. It's a pity that she didn't come with us this time."
"Don't just keep shouting Youxi, let me have a taste too."
"Uh-huh… "
So Xia Yuan fed Mei Fang a wave of food.
Xia Yuan then went out with Mei Fang to eat steak and western food, and commented on the violinist in the high-end western restaurant;
Then Xia Yuan and Mei Fang watched a movie together. This movie was a love movie with average reputation but very suitable for couples to watch. Because of the poor acting, even Xia Yuan felt very calm during the emotional scenes, but the sweet interactions at the end were worth watching.
Mei Fang also came over when Xia Yuan was immersed in it and kissed Xia Yuan lightly.
After the sweet time, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang enjoyed a one-day date like a couple. After returning home happily, Xia Yuan came to the door and suddenly stopped Mei Fang.
"Wait! I'll open the door here."
Xia Yuan held the door handle, then turned his back to Mei Fang and smiled, "You deliberately sent me away from home just to decorate the house and give me a surprise at the door, right? Youxi is really something, making it so fancy..."
"Not entirely..."
Mei Fang gave a reluctant smile, but Xia Yuan still looked unconvinced, "You still want to deceive me, right? Act... continue acting—"
Xia Yuan opened the door and subconsciously protected herself, but no one stood at the door to light fireworks and wish her a happy birthday.
"… "
But the living room was indeed decorated, and there was an exquisite birthday cake on the coffee table.
"I knew there would be a surprise, but it seems like you didn't communicate well."
Xia Yuan ran into the kitchen to investigate, then went to the bedroom. He could not find Youxi in other people's rooms.
"Youxi is really not here..."
Xia Yuan's eyes were full of disappointment. She found Mei Fang and asked, "So what exactly is Youxi's surprise? Where is she?"
"Well..."
"Stop keeping me in suspense. If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll get angry, okay?"
Xia Yuan obviously no longer had the mood to joke at this point, and she showed a very serious expression when facing Mei Fang.
"Did I do something bad to make Youxi unhappy? Or does she think that her presence will make me unhappy or something... Anyway, anyway... You and Youxi have never been absent from my birthday every year. This year, Youxi can't be absent from my birthday either..."
As she was talking, she suddenly started to cry. Mei Fang didn't expect Xia Yuan to react so strongly. He immediately felt like he had screwed up. He first sent a message to Youxi, and then went over to comfort Xia Yuan, saying, "Youxi is not mad at you. Youxi thinks today is your birthday, and wants me to be with you alone for a day. You might be happier."
Xia Yuan listened to Mei Fang's words with red eyes, "Do you think I look very happy now? Hmm?"
"… "
Xia Yuan seemed a little angry, and complained in a tearful voice, "Lin Youxi is such a fool... I told you that I don't like others to give in to me! Why is she always so self-righteous!"
Xia Yuan took out her cell phone and was about to call Lin Youxi when Mei Fang hugged her from behind and comforted her while being intimate with her:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Do you still remember the time treasure box Youxi gave you seven years ago?"
"The Time Box..."
Xia Yuan’s thoughts went around in circles, and finally returned to the summer when he was in fourth grade of elementary school.
"I remember... It was the birthday gift Youxi gave me. It was the one that put a wish into a treasure box, and the wish would come true in seven years—"
"Do you remember what wish you stuffed in there?"
"Hmm..." Xia Yuan thought for a while and muttered, "It's been a long time... I forgot about it, but I should still hope that everyone will be happy and safe, right?"
"So... Youxi has always remembered this?"
"She doesn't know what wish you wrote, but today is the day when the wish of the Time Box comes true, so she wants to give you an unforgettable birthday. We thought about it for a long time and finally came up with this plan. The decoration of the house, the guidance of breakfast, the choice of movies, many of them were suggested by Youxi. But in fact, Youxi also wants to celebrate your birthday with you. Since you hope that the three of us will be together every birthday, she can come and accompany you right away."
"Can I do it now?"
Xia Yuan muttered, "I... I haven't seen Youxi all day today. Today's content is 0! I want to see Youxi right now."
"Of course you can. Close your eyes first."
Mei Fang covered Xia Yuan's eyes.
"Then, count down to ten."
"Ten-nine-eight-seven-"
Just as Xia Yuan was silently reciting the numbers, Lin Youxi appeared from the master bedroom. She first tied up her hair, greeted Mei Fang with a smile, and then walked in front of Xia Yuan.
"Three-two-one-"
Xia Yuan opened her eyes after Mei Fang released her hands, and then received a big hug from Lin Youxi.
"Happy birthday, Yuanyuan."
Xia Yuan also hugged Lin Youxi tightly.
"You... you are at home! Why can't I find you..."
"I hid in the closet after I arranged my outfit."
"Why are you hiding in a place like that? Can you hide in there?"
"Shall I demonstrate it to you later?"
"First, celebrate your birthday first!"
Xia Yuan celebrated her 17th birthday with the blessings of Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.
After this year, everyone agreed that we no longer need to give birthday gifts on birthdays. Companionship is the best gift.
That night, Xia Yuan held Lin Youxi tightly, as if she didn't want Lin Youxi to run away at all.
The girls were cuddle-cuddling and enjoying the night talk.
"Speaking of which, what wish did Yuanyuan put in the Time Box?"
"Just... I really can't remember. I guess we were just good friends forever or something like that."
Xia Yuan hesitated, but Lin Youxi did not hesitate and continued to smile:
"Come to think of it... you really don't like being alone with Ah Fang?"
"I didn't say I didn't like it, it's just... um..."
“Is competition fun?”
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "It seems like you really like the feeling of running away secretly."
"Not really... Not really... I'm not that weird."
Lin Youxi suddenly leaned close to Xia Yuan's ear and whispered softly in her ear:
"Actually, I really hope you can get along well with Ah Fang today. I've even prepared some safety measures for you. They're in the bedside table, okay?"
"W-what is that? Youxi! That's too much!"
Far away at Xia Yuan’s home, in the drawer of Xia Yuan’s room, there was an old treasure box of time.
A small note in the box of the Time Treasure Box contained Xia Yuan's wish sealed seven years ago.
[Seven years later, we should all be high school students. By that time, I want to be Mei Fang’s girlfriend]
There will be more updates today. I’ll come back to write after I get my hair permed.
