Since his rebirth in this era, Mei Fang has been doing very well. He has made a lot of money from his plans and plots as a reborn person, and the girls he likes all happen to like him. It can be said that he has almost everything he wants.
But if we talk about the injustice that Mei Fang has suffered, it can only be traced back to more than ten years ago, when he was beaten by his parents for wetting the bed at school when he first traveled through time. After that, Mei Fang basically never got beaten again.
So when Xiang Xiaoxia suddenly asked her to kneel down in front of her, Mei Fang was still a little surprised.
"Mom, did you misunderstand something... I—"
"Will you kneel or not?"
Although Xiang Xiaoxia didn't yell at Mei Fang directly, the majesty revealed in her voice was natural. Mei Lijun, who had finally been able to sit down and watch the show, was a little nervous and asked Xiang Xiaoxia, "Wife, please explain clearly. What exactly did Mei Fang do wrong?"
"Let your good son speak for himself. I cannot bring myself to say such a shameful thing."
Seeing that her mother was determined to confess her guilt first, Mei Fang felt that there was no point in struggling any longer.
"I'm not sure what I did to make Mom angry, but if this can help you calm down, I'll first—"
Mei Fang chose the washboard and knelt down to talk, but seeing that Xiang Xiaoxia was still looking at him coldly, Mei Fang decided to change to a wire brush and knelt down.
Although I was wearing thick cotton pants, the feeling of the steel brush scratching my knees was still very uncomfortable.
…
At the same time, while he was delaying time, he was also reflecting on what he had done wrong to make his mother angry.
But she and I had always gotten along well before. Wasn’t the only thing I did today that would affect my mother’s mood was kissing Yuanyuan
Could it be that mom doesn’t like Yuanyuan and has always only liked Youxi
But this is totally undetectable from our daily interactions!
Besides, you don't want me to kneel down for this, right
Mei Fang did not rush to get angry, but instead carefully thought about the intention of her mother's words.
Such a shameful thing... What exactly does it mean
In this unprepared decision-making event, if he did not give a satisfactory answer at this time, he would face the ending that their love would not be recognized by their parents in the future.
That would also make his rebirth an incomplete experience, which is a scene that he, as a reborn person, does not want to see.
For the sake of future happiness, Mei Fang calmed down a little and began to think about how to answer her mother's questions.
No matter what happens, the plan for the threesome must be revealed at the very end...
Mei Fang remembered Lin Youxi's reminder to him, and slowly thought of a way to solve the problem.
"So have you figured out how to admit your mistake to me?"
Mei Fang nodded, he raised his head and looked at his mother, his tone sounded very sincere and firm.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I shouldn't have hidden my early love affair with Yuanyuan from you at this time, but I want to correct you. I don't think this is a shameful thing. Yuanyuan and I like each other."
"… "
"ah?"
Mei Lijun was listening to Mei Fang confessing his "mistake". When he heard that he and Yuanyuan were in a premature relationship, he was immediately stunned.
"Why is it Yuanyuan? Shouldn't it be Youxicai-"
Meilijun realized that he shouldn't interrupt at this time, so he quickly covered his mouth and continued eating melon.
I see.
With the help of his father, Mei Fang immediately understood what the "shameful thing" his mother was talking about was.
She must have thought I was two-timing!
Then this matter will be easy to handle.
Xiang Xiaoxia paused for a moment after hearing this, but she was still furious. "You're just dating Yuanyuan! You're just dating Yuanyuan, how can I lose my temper like this? You don't know the bad things you've done, but you won't admit it until I expose you?"
"… "
Mei Fang shook her head. "I don't know what you misunderstood, Mom... But I only got together with Yuanyuan in the second half of this year. Youxi and I have a good relationship as well, but right now we are just childhood sweethearts and good friends."
"Good friends? If you were just good friends, would you and Youxi be able to get into bed together?"
Mei Fang was a little panicked when he heard this, because he didn't know whether the crawling into the quilt his mother was talking about happened at home or was discovered by Aunt Meijuan when he was in school.
But Mei Fang had no other choice. If the fact that he had slept with her was proven, he would be labeled a two-timing scumbag. At this moment, he could only continue to be stubborn:
"I have never slept with Youxi."
"You still dare to say no? Just wait... You rebellious son... You did something so unfair to other people's children and you still don't admit it, I will teach you a lesson!"
Xiang Xiaoxia was so angry at her son that she picked up the thermos cup beside her and was ready to throw it at Mei Fang, but finally changed it to a clothes hanger. At this time, Mei Lijun hurried forward to dissuade his wife.
"Mei Fang is still young and ignorant... Hey, don't bother with him. It's New Year's Day—"
"Yuanyuan and Youxi are two good children, but you ruined them all together. Are you worthy of them both? Are you worthy of the relationship you have grown up with for so many years? Even if you were only devoted to one of them, would I be so angry with you? You rebellious son, you—"
Just as Xiang Xiaoxia was arguing with Mei Fang, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
The person who appeared in front of the Mei family was Lin Youxi.
When Xiang Xiaoxia saw Youxi appear, she immediately calmed down. She put down her clothes hanger and combed her hair. She was hesitant and wanted to say a few words to Lin Youxi, but she saw Lin Youxi clutching the corner of her clothes, pouting her lips and making a trembling sound.
"I'm sorry to have overheard what you said outside, but please... please don't blame Ah Fang, he did nothing wrong, it's none of his business."
"Youxi... you silly child... what are you hiding from him? Don't you know how much our boy has done to you? He—"
"Auntie, it's not Ah Fang who did anything wrong to me, it's me—"
Lin Youxi, who is usually calm and composed, seemed particularly uneasy in front of Mei Fang's parents today. She kept her head down while speaking, and when she raised her head, her eyes were already soaked with tears.
"I did something wrong to Ah Fang."
"?"
While everyone looked confused and bewildered, Lin Youxi continued to explain why he said that.
"During the Chinese New Year last year, I did crawl into Ah Fang's bed because I had just dealt with my uncle's affairs at that time. I couldn't sleep at night and was still very scared, so I ran to the living room and slept with Ah Fang for a while. But he was already asleep at that time and didn't know I was here at all."
"As for the relationship between Ah Fang and Yuan Yuan..." "I know about this. I admit that I actually like Ah Fang, but Ah Fang and Yuan Yuan are like family to me. If they can be together, I will sincerely wish them happiness."
Lin Youxi started to smile as she spoke. This smile with a line of tears in it would make anyone feel distressed, especially Xiang Xiaoxia who had raised Lin Youxi as her half-daughter since she was a child.
After knowing the "truth", she felt both distressed and pity for Lin Youxi. She quickly walked forward to hug Lin Youxi and gently stroked her hair.
"Youxi... This is not your fault... It's all, it's all Auntie's fault. It's all Auntie's fault for losing her temper without understanding the situation clearly. It made you so sad... It's all Auntie's fault..."
Watching Xiang Xiaoxia hugging Lin Youxi, Mei Lijun was so engrossed that he didn't know what to say. As for Mei Fang, the culprit of all the incidents, he now understood Youxi's good intentions.
She protected Mei Fang's image by self-destructing, and at the same time expressed her love for Mei Fang, leaving room for herself to enter the game later. It was a two-birds-with-one-stone operation.
But Mei Fang was in no mood to praise Lin Youxi's superb skills.
Seeing Lin Youxi's tears falling, Mei Fang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Because of me, Youxi cried so sadly. No matter whether she was crying for real or fake, I have an unshirkable responsibility.
Mei Fang was just thinking about hugging his childhood sweetheart, but when he was about to stand up, Xiang Xiaoxia spotted him and immediately stopped him, saying:
"Why are you getting up? Who told you to get up? Even if I misunderstood you first this time, don't you have any responsibility at all? Keep kneeling!"
Xiang Xiaoxia took Lin Youxi's arm and went out together, and after her mother left for a while, Mei Fang was carefully helped up by Mei Lijun, who had been invisible throughout the whole process.
"How is it? It must be uncomfortable to kneel down like this, right? In fact, you should be thankful because your mother's temper has improved a lot."
"Is that so... Dad, it's really not easy for you."
"It's not easy for you either. It's not easy for men either..."
Meilijun sighed as he spoke, "When I was your age, I actually had similar problems. Back then—"
"It's alright, Dad." Mei Fang shook his head and said, "It's ok to trick your son, but if you trick yourself, it will be a waste of effort."
After hearing this, Meilijun immediately revealed the cold and ruthless face of a leader that he usually put on in the bureau, "I think you, a young comrade who doesn't know the current situation, should kneel for a while longer before you can recognize your mistakes."
I found the book review section outrageous today. Don't you feel like Mei Gou? Shouldn't it be very uncomfortable for the protagonist of a novel to be defeated? Why are you opening champagne? Don't you feel like Mei Gou at all? How can my writing be so bad
