After the company's annual meeting held in Jiangcheng, the annual separation season finally arrived again.
Having spent so much time with his childhood sweethearts, Mei Fang did not feel too much about the separation. After all, he had too many things to do.
But Xia Yuan, who was in the midst of a passionate love affair, didn't think so. She pulled Lin Youxi and Mei Fang together to do the math:
"Although we agreed to determine the dating time by semester, if we were to follow the semester, I would always go to the first semester, which is shorter than the second semester."
"Besides, we only started dating in late October this year, and it was only the beginning of January when we broke up at the end of the semester. So, Afang and I had only been dating for less than three months, not to mention that Afang had to go back to his hometown at the beginning of the year, so I couldn't be with Afang for two weeks..."
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi listened quietly to Xia Yuan's tearful accusation, and immediately couldn't help but shook their heads and said:
"If you had put half as much effort into your math problems, you wouldn't have gotten such a bad score on the final exam—"
Xia Yuan muttered carelessly, asking Mei Fang not to continue.
"Ahh—stop talking! I'm different from you guys, and I've been focusing on Ah Fang lately. I haven't been studying well at all."
Lin Youxi shook her head. "This is not an excuse for such a bad grade. My mind was always on Ah Fang, but I still got first place in the class, didn't I?"
"No, if I want to compare you, I can't compare you..."
Mei Fang supported Xia Yuan here. "Putting aside the fact that Yuanyuan failed math, I think what Yuanyuan said is also good. Although we didn't directly announce our relationship on social media platforms, if we break up so early, it will easily backfire. I don't mind being scolded, but Yuanyuan's evaluation will also be affected."
"In that case, let's adjust the deadline of our previous secret agreement."
Lin Youxi thought about it and said, "Let's set the limit to one year. Ah Fang will be with Yuan Yuan in his second year of high school, and he will be with me in his third year of high school. How do you think this works?"
"Woo woo... Youxi, you are so nice!"
Xia Yuan was very touched and hugged Lin Youxi, clinging to her and petting her. Lin Youxi seemed to enjoy Xia Yuan's clinging and acted very doting.
While hugging Xia Yuan, she asked Mei Fang, "Come to think of it, we haven't visited your house since Ah Fang moved to the new house. I was thinking that Yuanyuan and I didn't have much to do at home before the New Year. You said before that your house is now very big, I wonder if I can live in your house?"
Mei Fang was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? Living in my house... Can you convince my family to agree?"
"I discussed it with my mom last night, and she said as long as Yuanyuan goes, it's fine."
"… "
Xia Yuan was still thinking about how to spend the two weeks without Mei Fang, but he suddenly came to his senses after hearing Youxi's words.
"Oh, that's right! I've actually moved now, so it's not very convenient for me to go play with Youxi and Xiaoxue."
"Although, it's not easy to go home..."
Mei Fang scratched his head helplessly, "I think it would be better for you to spend more time with your parents, right?"
"Afang, what do you mean by that—"
Xia Yuan frowned, put her hands on her waist and looked annoyed, "Are you feeling a little bored with being with us?"
"What you said... How could I be bored?"
Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's face to comfort her, "I just think that Uncle Xia, Uncle Lin, and Teacher Yu haven't seen you for a long time, and they must miss you."
"We can video chat anyway, it's no big deal."
Xia Yuan continued to mutter, "Besides, Youxi and I usually have video chats with our parents, but we hardly have the chance to meet Uncle Mei and Aunt Xiang. Don't they miss Youxi and me?"
At this time, Lin Youxi also whispered in Mei Fang's ear: "Don't you still have to tell your family about the fact that you are starting a company? It will be easier for them to accept it if we tell them together with you."
"That's true... My mom loves you and Yuanyuan very much."
Mei Fang originally planned to confess his feelings during the New Year period when he returned to Baimei's hometown, but if he could make things clear as soon as he returned, it would save a lot of trouble.
"But isn't it too late to tell him today? My dad has already driven over to pick me up today... Hey, how should I tell him?"
Mei Fang was relatively familiar with Xia Xun's temper, so he also knew how to deal with him.
"It's okay, you can just stay like this when the time comes..."
“While it’s a good plan, I feel it’s not enough.”
Although Xia Xun has always acted like an open-minded father, he actually has a bottom line. "Maybe we need to do this and that to really convince Uncle Xia to agree to Yuanyuan's visit to Afang's house."
Xia Xun, who hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, happily drove to Jiangcheng to pick up his daughter and take her home.
Now his daughter Xia Yuan is well-known to many people because of her popularity on the Internet. Xia Xun, his father, is now called a celebrity dad whenever he goes out. Although he appears calm on the surface, he is very proud inside.
My daughter has loved music since she was young. Her achievements today are inseparable from her own talent and the education she received from her father in her early years.
His mobile phone contains every video and song released by Xia Yuan, and he would take them out to watch when he missed his daughter.
But he also knows that his daughter is at the age when she is just beginning to fall in love, and her liking for boys would temporarily be higher than that of her father.
If he seemed to miss his daughter too much and expected her to be his little cotton-padded jacket, he would appear to be a childish father, so he came here today mentally prepared to be treated coldly by his daughter.
However, when he drove to the gate of the community, he unexpectedly saw his daughter standing in the cold wind waiting for him.
Seeing his father's license plate, Xia Yuan excitedly greeted his father.
Xia Xun parked his car on the side and was about to get out to ask Xia Yuan about the situation when Xia Yuan suddenly rushed up and hugged Xia Xun.
"Dad! Long time no see!"
After Xia Yuan hugged his father, he playfully patted Xia Xun's back vigorously, "You look a lot fatter than in the video, what's going on?"
"Uh... um..."
Xia Xun scratched his head, "In fact, your mother's cooking skills have become much better than before."
"Wow! Is this true? I'm going to try it when I get back."
Xia Xun nodded, and then looked at Mei Fang, who he had just ignored. Mei Fang also stepped forward and greeted Xia Xun at this time: "Hello, Uncle Xia."
Xia Xun nodded to Mei Fang, then asked Xia Yuan, "Why don't I see Youxi and Meijuan and the others? Did they go back first this year?"
"Ah... That's not the case... I'm not in a hurry to go back today. I want to go shopping first and buy some specialties and gifts to bring back to my mom. Dad, can you go back later?"
"That's no problem... just don't be too late."
Xia Xun glanced at Mei Fang standing beside him, thinking that he might have to be a tool to carry things again today.
At this time, Mei Fang said a few words to Xia Yuan, and then greeted Xia Xun, "Uncle Xia, please accompany Yuanyuan to go shopping. I won't disturb you."
"?"
Xia Xun was a little confused, "Then, Mei Fang, where are you going?"
Xia Yuan added, "Ah Fang wants to go shopping with Youxi and Aunt Meijuan."
"Since we're all going to the mall, why don't you go together? I can just drive you there."
"No thanks, Uncle Xia!"
Mei Fang scratched his head and smiled, "Youxi actually wants to buy a few sets of clothes for her father, and I want to help her choose."
"Oh... I see."
At first, Xia Xun was happy that he had some time alone with his daughter, but on the other hand, when he heard Mei Fang say that she was going to accompany Youxi instead of her own daughter, he also felt a little complicated.
