Since confirming her relationship with her beloved Afang, Xia Yuan has been happy and full of energy every day.
Although Mei Fang was very busy with study and work, he always made time to see Xia Yuan. At the same time, the frequency with which Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang appeared together was gradually decreasing.
As a result, more and more people began to notice the scene of him and Xia Yuan holding hands in public. Xia Yuan and Mei Fang also told the truth to some friends who asked questions about them.
"Ah Fang, are you and Yuanyuan really together?"
Xiang Bingbing only found out about this after everyone asked her about it. As Mei Fang's deskmate, she only found out about this new news a few days later. She was quite dissatisfied with this and pulled Mei Fang to question him fiercely:
"Why didn't you tell me? You are so disloyal!"
"You didn't ask me specifically, so there's no need for me to tell you..."
Mei Fang paused, "But, speaking of it... You also contributed to the fact that Yuanyuan and I can be together."
"I?"
Xiang Bingbing tilted her head, "What contribution did I make? Could it be the love letter from before? Wasn't that written by Wan Chaoxiong to tease you? Could it be that the love letter was written by Yuanyuan?"
Mei Fang smiled at Xiang Bingbing without commenting, and Xiang Bingbing immediately screamed excitedly:
"So that's how it is! I was wondering why Wan Chaoxiong would have nothing better to do than write you a love letter! By the way, why didn't Yuanyuan just give it to me directly... why did you make so much trouble... I didn't expect that you would accomplish such a big thing. Congratulations, Ah Fang!"
But she felt a little lost and melancholy while she was happy. "It would be great if you and Yuanyuan were together, but what if Youxi is all alone?"
"She's... not alone. She's still with us. Our relationship is still as good as before. It's okay for everyone to get along like before."
"Phew... That's good."
After Xiang Bingbing felt relieved, she also sighed, "I was wondering if we, the opposite-sex friends, would be forced to keep our distance from you after you and Yuanyuan got together..."
"Ah, that's not necessary... Yuanyuan is not such a stingy person."
“Indeed, indeed!”
Xiang Bingbing said this and patted Mei Fang's shoulders vigorously a few times, then returned to his usual state with a laugh.
While rubbing his shoulder which was hurt by being hit, Mei Fang wondered whether his previous answer was appropriate.
Based on his understanding of Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan would not keep a distance from all her former classmates of the opposite sex just because Mei Fang became her boyfriend. If she wanted to maintain a distance, then as childhood sweethearts, Xia Yuan would have to start PUAing Mei Fang.
But is this how you should get along after becoming a couple
Am I speaking too early
From a public perspective, Xia Yuan is Mei Fang's first love in two lives (of course, in reality, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi are both first loves, and Mei Fang's ability to balance the two is unquestionable). Mei Fang actually had no experience in love before this, so it was a bit hasty for him to help his partner make some decisions.
So when Mei Fang went to meet Xia Yuan during the break, she talked about this issue with Xia Yuan.
"Ah... should we keep a distance from other friends of the opposite sex... Are you talking about Bingbing, Xiaoyu, Yunyun and the others?"
Xia Yuan suddenly burst out laughing when she heard this. "Fang, you are too sensitive. Do you think I am such a stingy girl?"
"Don't answer so bluntly, or else others will think they are watching a science fiction movie."
"Haha... what sci-fi movie?"
Xia Yuan didn't understand what Mei Fang was saying, so he just cleared his throat and said, "Even if I don't tell you about the sense of distance, you should know the limits. If I force you to do so, it will make me look petty and lack trust in you."
"Although we are lovers now, we are a couple based on a 10-year childhood sweetheart relationship, so we shouldn't have this doubt, right?"
"Wow, Yuanyuan, you are so considerate!"
"My Yuanyuan is so nice, it's understandable that I can't help but want to hug her, right?"
Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's cheek and said, "You can be as intimate as you want tonight, but be more reserved at school."
"OK."
Mei Xiang made a gesture to Xia Yuan that it was all right, and then after praising Yuan Yuan a few words, she planned to go back to her classroom.
Xia Yuan said goodbye to Mei Fang with a smile, and then kept watching Mei Fang's figure silently until Mei Fang's back disappeared at the end of the aisle and then turned around.
Classmate Liu Xiaoyu watched Xia Yuan sit back in her seat. Seeing her smiling face, she felt happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
"Your Ah Fang is really attached to you."
"Ah... Haha, actually it's not much different from before. If he doesn't come to me, I will come to him anyway."
"It's just that Youxi doesn't come to be with you guys as often anymore, and the difference in feeling is quite big."
"Yes..."
Xia Yuan actually didn't like the feeling of Youxi's absence, but Youxi reminded Xia Yuan that distance creates beauty, and the short separation now was only for the sake of being able to be a threesome for a long time in the future. After all, the three of them would still go home together at night and get intimate on the way, so she was slowly adapting to the new normal of daily life.
Liu Xiaoyu, who originally had no idea of falling in love, was actually very interested after seeing Xia Yuan's changes.
"Speaking of which, do you think your relationship with Mei Fang will change significantly before and after you fall in love?"
"What a noticeable change..."
Yes, there is, but that is not something I can tell Xiaoyu.
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "In fact, most of the time we still get along the same way as before... If I think about it carefully, the way Ah Fang and I interacted before was actually almost the same as a couple, hahahaha—"
Liu Xiaoyu thought that it was very slow for you to realize this now.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoyu, what do you think couples do besides what Ah Fang and I are doing now? Dating, watching movies, eating out, etc. are what I used to do. I still want to do other things that couples do, but I don't have any idea yet."
"If you put it that way..."
Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Couple nicknames, couple outfits, or couple avatars, have you tried these with Mei Fang? I think it's worth a try."
"Ah... yes, yes, yes! That's it! I was wondering why it felt a little off, it turns out these things haven't been done yet."
In the distant past, Xia Yuan had actually tried couple online names. That was when Mei Fang took her to play computer games. She saw that Mei Fang's online name was [The Heaven-Defying Little Fang Fang], so she gave herself a name called [The Good Little Yuan Yuan].
The first game we played together was Bubble Gum. I remember it was quite nostalgic haha…
Xia Yuan mentioned these things to Mei Fang when they were doing advanced public training in the evening, and Mei Fang readily agreed to Xia Yuan's request.
So, the two changed their online names to [缘有方宝] and [方有缘宝], and their couple profile pictures were also changed.
Lin Youxi also supported Xia Yuan and Mei Fang's actions because she felt that this was a faster and more natural way to declare their relationship, and she even took the initiative to like their updated signature posts.
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang's online activities quickly attracted the attention of Peng Xue and others.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with your avatars?"
