Mei Fang became excited immediately after Lin Youxi revealed her secret—
"I was just saying that love letter... was written to me by you, Youxi!"
"Why should I write you a love letter? Aren't we not allowed to date in high school?"
Lin Youxi shook her head and denied it, "Bingbing told me."
"Bingbing only found out about the love letter I received during the break after evening self-study. How could she have the time to tell you?"
"Really?" Lin Youxi showed a puzzled expression, "But I heard Bingbing say that this afternoon when I met her in the corridor after dinner. She said she saw a love letter on your desk and asked me if I wanted to take it away like before."
"Take it? What do you mean by take it..."
"Speaking of this!"
Today, Mei Fang misunderstood that the love letter was sent to him by Zhu Nana, which added a dark history of the three major illusions in his high school life. He told Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi the whole story, which aroused the ridicule of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.
"Ahahahaha, Fang, you are too narcissistic! At that time, you actually directly assumed that the love letter was written to you by Junana!"
Xia Yuan laughed at Mei Fang while patting him on the back. She had completely forgotten the grievance of being the only one who didn't receive the love letter. She even leaned against Mei Fang and rummaged through his backpack, "Did you bring it back? The love letter, I want to see it!"
"Go home and take a closer look. It's hard to see clearly..."
The group returned home talking and laughing. After dinner, Liang Meijuan cleaned up the dishes and went back to her room to rest, while Xia Yuan and the others were still studying in the living room.
"Speaking of which, Aunt Meijuan has been going back to her room to rest early recently..." Xia Yuan asked curiously while packing up the test papers, "Did you say anything to her, Youxi?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I remember when Aunt Meijuan first came, she would wait until we washed up and went to bed before she could rest. Now it feels like she has given us a lot more private space."
"After all, we are all grown up now, didn't my mother say that before?"
"Um… "
Xia Yuan was skeptical about Lin Youxi's smiling explanation. At this time, Mei Fang also took out a love letter from her schoolbag and gave it to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi to share and read.
Then he saw Xia Yuan's expression change from calm to blushing and then to covering her face in dismay. She pushed Lin Youxi and kept complaining:
"This, this, this love letter is completely different from what I thought! This is too perverted!"
Lin Youxi seemed very calm after reading the love letter. She held her cheek with her right hand and smiled, "I feel fine. It feels good."
Xia Yuan suddenly slapped the table and came to Mei Fang. "So you know who it is! And what about the old place... Besides us, you have such a deep bond with other girls. I'm going to be jealous!"
Isn't this already jealous
"Don't just believe what the love letter says... Maybe he's trying to trick me. I don't even know where the old place is."
"If Youxi didn't mention it, are you planning to keep this a secret from us?"
Xia Yuan continued to turn over the table and put his hand on Mei Fang's shoulder to pressure her, "We agreed to be childhood sweethearts, is this how you treat Youxi and me? Huh?"
Mei Fang pressed Xia Yuan's shoulders and pushed her back, while explaining helplessly, "I actually didn't want to pay attention to this love letter, but I thought that if this love letter was written by Youxi, Youxi would probably be sad if I ignored it, don't you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Youxi looked a little surprised, and then she looked very serious, and put on the tone she usually used to teach her students, "So in your eyes, I am such a perverted girl? This is definitely not written by me."
"You just said that this letter was very touching. You are double-standard, aren't you?" Xia Yuan rarely complained about Lin Youxi.
“I just said that I had a feeling, but I couldn’t write it myself.”
Lin Youxi coughed a few times, and then asked Mei Fang, "Regarding the originator of this love letter, do you have any suspects now, for example... Xiang Bingbing?"
"Bingbing is not a suspect... Now that Youxi has been cleared of suspicion, Bingbing must be the real criminal."
Mei Fang was very firm about this, "I have verified it myself."
Mei Fang told Zhu Nanai's speculation and Xiang Bingbing's subsequent reaction, and Xia Yuan nodded in agreement. "There's really no need to guess. She must have Melody's envelope. I saw her when I went to the stationery store to buy an envelope yesterday!"
Lin Youxi fell into deep thought, "But, what do you think is Bingbing's purpose in writing this letter?"
"Apart from a prank, what else could it be..."
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Xia Yuan's mind, "Does Bingbing really want to be Ah Fang's girlfriend?"
As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi stared at her with disgust for a while, and the scene was very awkward for a while.
"What are you thinking? That's impossible."
Lin Youxi waved her hands. "I just don't think Bingbing could write such a cheesy love letter. Bingbing might have something to do with this matter, but the person who wrote the love letter is definitely someone else."
"I think so too," Mei Fang nodded, "Then I'll think of a way to convince Bingbing to tell me the truth tomorrow."
the next day.
"I will never betray my friends!"
Facing the questions raised by Mei Fang, Xiang Bingbing was dignified and fearless.
So, Mei Fang handed a piece of Defu chocolate to Xiang Bingbing.
"… "
"Um… "
"Ah, this..."
After a painful ideological struggle, Xiang Bingbing muttered and began to refute:
"You think you can bribe me with just this little bit of money? What do you think of the friendship between me and my companions?"
So Mei Fang took out a box of Defu chocolates from her bag and pushed it in front of Xiang Bingbing's table.
Xiang Bingbing felt that her worldview had been shaken. "This is such a big box. Can you give it all to me, Brother Fang?"
Mei Fang smiled and said, "As long as Bingbing is obedient, Brother Fang will give you as much as you want. I guarantee you will have enough."
Xiang Bingbing raised her hand quickly: "The love letter was given to me by Wan Chaoxiong. He stuffed a bag of Leshi potato chips into my hand and asked me to help put the love letter into your desk!"
"Huh, Wan Chaoxiong?"
So Mei Fang found Wan Chaoxiong to ask about the love letter, and Wan Chaoxiong felt very puzzled:
"Boss Mei, you know me well. How could I possibly do such a boring thing?"
Mei Fang certainly felt something was wrong, "But Bingbing said it was you who did it."
"Oh my god, you believe Xiang Bingbing but not me, your old deskmate?"
Wan Chaoxiong pressed his chest and pointed his finger toward the sky:
"I guarantee with my Overlord's balls that I definitely didn't do this."
"Then I'll go ask Bingbing—"
Mei Fang was about to turn around when he suddenly reacted and grabbed Wan Chaoxiong and said, "Hey, where did your Overlord get his balls?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mei! I just wanted to shoot a video of my classmates' reactions to receiving love letters!"
"Then I haven't seen you take any photos?"
"Actually, I've taken quite a few photos. I had a good sense of timing, so you didn't notice."
"So what did you film? Did you also film me tickling Bingbing?"
Mei Fang would be confused if Xia Yuanlin and Youxi saw this. "If there is any, delete it for me!"
"I didn't film that part. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you."
Mei Fang watched his performance in the video carefully, observing and complaining:
"But, I never thought you could write such a cheesy love letter..."
"Ah? Love letter... I didn't write the love letter. How can I write a love letter?"
Mei Fang frowned upon hearing this. "What the hell? It's not like you wrote this. Then who wrote it?"
"This... I can't say it, I really can't say it, don't ask, don't ask."
Wan Chaoxiong said in a serious tone, "The person who asked me for help is a very powerful woman. If I reveal her identity, I will definitely be in big trouble!"
"You're exaggerating..."
During the morning break, Junana appeared again. She was very curious about the follow-up of the love letter incident:
"Senior, senior, have you found the person who actually wrote the love letter?"
"Hmm... How should I put it..."
Mei Fang thought about it, then said thoughtfully, "I think I know now."
"Ah? What do you mean... I guess you know it now?"
"It means exactly what it says." Mei Fang smiled and shook his head. Zhu Nana found that his smile suddenly became very gentle, and she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"So, will the senior go to that old place then?"
"Yes, of course I will go."
Wan Chaoxiong has always been a fearless person who doesn't care about anything. As a nerd in the second dimension, the only thing he loves is everything he has contributed to Station C.
Although someone's identity has not been revealed publicly, Xia Yuan's debut process on Station C, coupled with the name Lin Youxi, has actually revealed many facts.
When it was time to get out of school in the afternoon, Mei Fang did not wait for Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi at the entrance of the corridor as usual. Instead, he went directly to the playground, walked through the stone steps of the bamboo path, listened to the sound of the wind in the bamboo forest, and sat by the pavilion waiting slowly.
As he waited, he met the instigator of this incident—
"Wow! Fang, you actually guessed it!"
Xia Yuan took Lin Youxi's arm, and came to Mei Fang while yelling and jumping, and laughed at Mei Fang, "Hehe, Ah Fang, you were fooled by us!"
"You were so good at pretending last night!"
Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's cheek as she spoke, "How could you have such an exaggerated expression in the love letter you and Youxi wrote together? You really fooled me."
Xia Yuan was not angry after being pinched on the face by Mei Fang. "The love letter was written by You Xi. She asked me to wait for Ah Fang to take it out and read it later. She said she wanted to give me a surprise. This surprise is too exaggerated!"
"In fact, it was mainly because I was afraid that Yuanyuan would reveal her identity. This is also the reason why I asked Wan Chaoxiong to help instead of directly asking Bingbing for help... Wan Chaoxiong would not easily reveal my identity, but Bingbing would reveal my identity if she gave her a little food."
"So... when did you plan to play a prank on me? Didn't you agree that I would write an anonymous love letter to play a prank on Youxi?"
Xia Yuan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and said, "Sorry, Fang, I thought about it afterwards... I felt that Youxi would be able to guess the identity of the anonymous love letter in a second, so I thought of doing the opposite to tease you and catch you off guard."
"You really are a traitor!"
Mei Fang held Xia Yuan in his arms and gave her a severe scolding. Lin Youxi then sat aside and pulled Mei Fang's arm.
"Why do you only know how to bully Yuanyuan? Why don't you bully me too?"
Lin Youxi's words sounded a bit like she was acting coquettishly, and both Mei Fang and Xia Yuan in Mei Fang's arms were aroused by Lin Youxi.
"Uh... um..."
Mei Fang tried to pinch Lin Youxi's cheek, but Lin Youxi didn't cry out in pain. She just kept looking at Mei Fang gently, which made Mei Fang a little hesitant to do it.
"Anyway... now that the punishment has been given, let's put an end to this farce."
"That won't work! Ah Fang hasn't written the love letter to me and Youxi yet."
"Didn't you give it to me too?"
"Isn't this a letter?"
"Then this is Youxi's, but Yuanyuan hasn't given me yours yet?"
"I… "
Xia Yuan covered her face and muttered, "I really don't know how to write a love letter. I actually wrote a little yesterday afternoon, but I felt it was very hypocritical and corny."
"Can anything more corny be compared to the one I wrote?"
"Ah... um... I really didn't expect—"
Lin Youxi said softly, "Actually, after hearing Yuanyuan talk about the love letter, I was also thinking about one thing. Now the three of us have become more and more popular, especially Yuanyuan. It is inevitable that we will be pursued by others."
"But no matter how close our relationship is, we can't avoid the fact that all three of us are still single."
“So… it’s true!”
Xia Yuan nodded, and then thought for a moment, "But, the three of us have such a close relationship, if other people want to intervene, they will think twice, right?"
"That's true..."
Lin Youxi looked at Mei Fang's expression and said, "So, what does Ah Fang think about this? Do you think... is it okay for us to maintain this relationship for three years of high school?"
"I'm asking this because..."
Mei Fang was not sure what Lin Youxi meant. He even sensed a hint of uneasiness. "Is Youxi tired of the current situation?"
"It's not that serious. I was just thinking..."
As Lin Youxi spoke, she placed her hand on the back of Mei Fang's hand, "If the love letter I wrote to you was actually from my heart and not a teasing idea, how would you respond?"
Mei Fang was about to speak when Lin Youxi suddenly covered his mouth with her hand. "You can't use the excuse that high school students can't fall in love this time. In fact, Yuanyuan and I have always wanted to know how you feel."
As for Xia Yuan who was standing aside, she was so surprised by Lin Youxi's sudden action that she was speechless.
"Yes, yes! Didn't we make an appointment at that time—"
"I'm sorry, Yuanyuan... I know it's mean of me to do this... But Ah Fang won't make a choice, maybe never. Even though I can roughly guess what he's thinking now, I want him to say it clearly, say it in person, and tell us in person."
If... you can't even take on this level of responsibility, then our relationship over the years is nothing more than this...
Mei Fang had not expected that a small love letter would lead directly to the final trial.
Although he had anticipated a situation like this, he was completely unprepared at this moment, and had no preparation for any words. It was impossible for him to keep his composure and avoid making a decision.
Lin Youxi held Mei Fang with one hand and slowly loosened the other hand from his mouth, then looked at him expressionlessly. Xia Yuan seemed even more nervous than Mei Fang. His hands, which didn't know where to put, kept circling in front of him and his eyes were wandering around.
"Okay... Ah Fang, it's time for you to tell us what you think."
"If... this love letter to you is my confession to you, would you accept it?"
Choosing to accept Lin Youxi's confession means giving up Xia Yuan.
And rejecting Lin Youxi's confession would be equivalent to joining hands with Xia Yuan.
Of course, for Mei Fang, he has been practicing the third way.
This third way is also the tacit way of doing things between him and them.
But it is only tacit understanding.
Although there have been some hints, no one has ever put it on the table and stated it directly, because everyone knows that it is a path that will not be blessed.
But as Lin Youxi said, Mei Fang would not make a choice.
He has experienced a lot with Lin Youxi, and also with Xia Yuan.
But, he experienced much more with them.
Even though Mei Fang has an absolutely close relationship with his two childhood sweethearts, this moment is a real test for him.
It is not only a test of Mei Fang's courage, but also a test of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's trust.
Because he couldn't guarantee 100% that the two of them would still be by his side after he said those words.
And when countless clips of the three of them getting along together flashed through Mei Fang's mind.
Gradually, he slowly raised his head.
Under Lin Youxi's expressionless gaze and Xia Yuan's anxious gaze, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the boy's face. He cleared his throat and then spoke slowly:
"Before accepting this love letter... I have one more thing to confirm."
"This love letter... Strictly speaking, it can't be considered as a confession from you alone, right?"
"After all, it was you and Yuanyuan who came up with this plan together, and this envelope and letterhead all belong to Yuanyuan."
As Mei Fang spoke, he tightened Youxi's hand around his, and at the same time he pulled up Xia Yuan's anxious hand and held it tightly.
"So... if I can regard this love letter as a confession from both of you to me, I will be very happy to accept it."
"With great pleasure."
"Because I don't want to be separated from any of you."
"As long as I can do it, even if I can't do it now..."
"I'm willing to give everything I have now, for the chance to be with you two."
"Because I like you guys."
“I’ve loved it since I was very young.”
"The kind of love that wants to be together forever."
After Mei Fang expressed his obvious evil ambitions, Xia Yuan could no longer suppress his excitement and threw himself into Mei Fang's arms.
"I... I feel the same... I like Ah Fang very much... I also like You Xi very much! So, let's not separate... Let's stay together forever... Just like we agreed at home before..."
After hearing Mei Fang's confession, Lin Youxi's mouth twitched slightly.
Of course, she was not as excited as Xia Yuan. Instead, she lowered her head embarrassedly and rubbed her nose gently.
Seeing this, Mei Fang took her hand and gently put her on his other shoulder. Only then did she feel relieved, opened her arms, and hugged Xia Yuan and Mei Fang tightly.
