After Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang relived the past times at the Experimental Middle School, Lin Youxi said goodbye to them contentedly near dinner time.
"The following is Yuanyuan's happy time alone. Opportunities like this don't come often, so you must cherish it and seize the opportunity."
"What chance do I have? My parents are at home..."
Xia Yuan muttered, "Besides, it's against the rules to be with Ah Fang right now. Ah Fang and I are not yet grown up, so we can't do this kind of thing now."
"I hope you really remember this," Lin Youxi smiled slightly, "After all, we clearly agreed not to run away together, but you ended up taking Ah Fang's first kiss away."
"I'm sorry for that time!"
Xia Yuan's face turned red with shame. "I will never do anything to let you down again this time, absolutely!"
"I'm just kidding. Yuanyuan, if you really want to try it, you can."
Lin Youxi patted her best friend's shoulder and said, "Actually... I've tried many times, but Ah Fang always manages to hold back. Maybe it's because I'm not charming enough?"
"How is that possible! I just think it's not appropriate now, let's wait until we graduate from high school..."
After saying goodbye to Lin Youxi, Mei Fang took Xia Yuan on a bike ride back to Xia's home. On the way, Xia Yuan was obviously very interested in what Lin Youxi said about "trying many times". Mei Fang told Xia Yuan all the unsuccessful attempts made by Lin Youxi during intimacy. Xia Yuan was quite shocked by this -
"After chatting about the past today, I realized that Youxi has only been following me for a few years. She has changed a lot now!"
"Or maybe this is Youxi's true self. She didn't dare to show it before because of lack of courage or family reasons."
Mei Fang parked the electric bike in Xia Yuan's neighborhood parking lot. Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang's neck and murmured, "Actually, I sometimes wonder if I'm always too clingy to you, Fang, would you find it annoying?"
"It's not that annoying..."
Mei Fang hugged Xia Yuan and said, "Actually, I quite like this feeling, that is... well, the feeling of being needed by you guys."
"Then you have to say it out loud!"
Xia Yuan gently pinched Mei Fang's nose, "This way I know you like being stuck with Youxi and me like this."
"You're actually worried that I don't like you... Youxi is much more aware than you!"
Mei faced Xia Yuan, lifted up Xia Yuan's legs and hugged her, jogging and making a fuss all the way in the community, but ended up running into an extremely socially deadly scene - they hugged each other and ran towards the intersection, and just happened to run into Xia Yuan's mother Yu Ling and the neighbor auntie who was buying vegetables together.
If they were just passing by, they could just pretend they didn't know each other, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang thought so. But their mother Yu Ling even greeted her daughter and future son-in-law warmly, "Yuan Yuan, Ah Fang, are you guys playing in the neighborhood?"
"Ah... um..."
Mei Fang put Xia Yuan down from his arms. The two nodded very embarrassedly and greeted the uncles and aunts.
"This must be your celebrity daughter!"
"Yes, you can just call her Yuanyuan! This is Ah Fang, our Yuanyuan's friend."
"He's my boyfriend, hahahaha!"
"Teacher Yu, is it okay for your daughter to fall in love early?"
"Afang and our Yuanyuan are childhood sweethearts. They have been playing together since kindergarten and have a very good relationship."
"Oh, isn't that a child marriage?"
“Um… it’s a bit like that, hehe…” Teacher Yu seemed very happy with this statement.
After all, Mei Fang was raised by me personally, and the six years of primary school education was no joke.
"Oh, I really envy your family... You don't have to worry about finding a partner for your daughter in the future..."
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang stood aside and echoed the words of their elders, looking very embarrassed. In the end, Mei Fang took the initiative to make an excuse and ran away with Xia Yuan.
Mei Fang spent the whole day today having dinner with Xia Yuan at her house. Except for his sister Mei Ya, almost no one in his family contacted him.
But even Maya only flattered her brother in the message and sent him some photos of extremely high-end and luxurious model aircraft.
Her straightforward and cheeky suggestion was rejected on the spot by the multimillionaire boss' brother, who said that even if one is rich, one should not spend money recklessly.
Mei Fang took a bath at Xia Yuan's house, watched TV with Xia's mother and daughter in the living room, and talked with Xia Xun about work. She gained some knowledge, experience and lessons that were difficult to learn in daily life. At 10 o'clock in the evening, Mei Fang turned off the lights and went to bed. She lay on the bed and picked up her phone. The first thing she saw was a message from Xia Yuan -
It is a selfie of Xia Yuan in the bathroom.
[I can't go over to accompany you today, so use this! ]
In the selfie, Yuanyuan is only wrapped in a bathrobe. The voluptuous figure revealed by the bathrobe makes people marvel at the wonders of nature. The young and promising Mei Fang looks like he is about to stand upright.
Mei Fang first put the photo into her private photo album, and then cursed Yuanyuan harshly.
[Stupid! How can anyone sleep well after posting this! ]
Less than a few seconds after this sentence was uttered, Mei Fang's bedroom door was opened.
Mei Fang could barely catch a glimpse of Xia Yuan in the residual light of the street lamp outside the window. Before she could say hello, Xia Yuan crawled into Mei Fang's bed.
…
Mei Fang felt her bed was struggling to stir, and Xia Yuan struggled to get out from under the quilt and in front of Mei Fang. Mei Fang turned on the light and saw Xia Yuan with messy hair.
"Okay, okay... Can you sleep now?"
"You've become braver. You even dare to come to me at home..."
"What Youxi dares to do, I, Yuanyuan, can certainly do as well."
Xia Yuan was just thinking about taking credit for the event with Mei Fang when there was a knock on the door.
"Afang... are you asleep?"
It was the voice of Yuanyuan’s mother, Yu Ling.
Xia Yuan was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth. Mei Fang stuffed her into the quilt. Fortunately, it was still winter and Yuanyuan's mother covered Mei Fang with a thick quilt, so Xia Yuan couldn't notice it even though she was squatting inside.
Mei Fang wanted to pretend to be asleep and not answer, but after all, the lights were still on, so she could only bite the bullet and agree: "Teacher Yu, what's the matter?"
"Um... Is it convenient for you to come in? I want to talk to you."
"I'm already asleep in bed... Is that okay?"
"Well, I'll just say a few words."
Yu Ling gently opened the door to Mei Fang's room, and Mei Fang struggled to sit up. Teacher Yu sat beside Mei Fang's bed with a small stool, looking Mei Fang up and down.
"Teacher Yu...what's the matter?"
"Why don't you just call me Teacher Yu? It always feels a bit strange."
"Um... But Yuanyuan and I are still just boyfriend and girlfriend—"
Yu Ling smiled and shook her head. "Teacher Yu is the common name used by everyone outside. Ah Fang's status is different. You can just call me Aunt Ling now. My relatives' children all call me that."
"Well... I understand, Aunt Ling."
Mei Fang felt that Yuanyuan's mother must have come all the way to talk to him for more than just this matter, but he was too embarrassed to ask in detail and could only wait for her to bring up the topic first.
"But fortunately, you are here to help Yuanyuan deal with many things. Yuanyuan will discuss everything with you, just like you have been doing for Yuanyuan for so many years. Auntie believes that you and Yuanyuan are truly in love, and I am very happy to entrust Yuanyuan to you..."
"You have been much more mature and stable than Yuanyuan since you were very young, and you know when to advance and when to retreat. You are a great child and the best student I have ever taught as a teacher..."
Xia Yuan was hiding in the bed and was feeling very unhappy when she heard her mother criticizing her faults. But when she heard her mother praising Ah Fang, she felt an indescribable sense of pride in her heart.
"However, Auntie still hopes...if possible, you should rely on Yuanyuan more. She has always been a child who wants to be needed. Based on what Auntie has known about you since you were a child, you often encounter difficulties by yourself."
"But... now that you and Yuanyuan have become lovers, I think she will be very happy even if you just talk to her... Moreover, she will definitely actively think of ways to help you, at least to comfort you."
As Yu Ling spoke, she held Mei Fang's hand earnestly, "This feeling of being needed is very important to our Yuanyuan. If you want your relationship to go further, don't forget that love is about mutual support rather than one party's pure sacrifice. Otherwise, Yuanyuan may leave you."
"But she leaves you not because she doesn't like you anymore, but because she feels that she is holding you back and she doesn't have the face to stay with you any longer."
Of course Mei Fang was aware of what Yu Ling said to him, but he didn't take it too seriously. At least he didn't think Yuanyuan would leave him because of this.
But when the words came out of the mouth of her future mother-in-law, Mei Fang also fell into deep thought.
He began to think about Yuanyuan's current position in the threesome.
Before the quarrel in junior high school, Xia Yuan was undoubtedly the center of the trio. Both Mei Fang and Lin Youxi revolved around Xia Yuan.
But now that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi have expressed their feelings, Mei Fang has become the core of the trio. In order to reach the current stage, Mei Fang has also made some efforts.
It is true that in order to allow his girlfriends to find their own position under him, he gave Lin Youxi part of the website, and also gave Xia Yuan the task of plagiarizing the song.
However, is the music sector to which Yuanyuan belongs really important enough to be called one of the three giants in Mei Fang’s business empire
It is not the C station on which Mei Fang relies for survival. Even if Yuanyuan's career line is removed from it, Mei Fang's game development will be affected, but it will not be fatal.
As for the music idol route, Xia Yuan herself knew that without Mei Fang's guidance in lyrics and composition, she would not be able to write such songs.
Even without talking about helping each other in business, in life, Youxi can almost do everything that Yuanyuan can do. However, Yuanyuan has not mastered many of Youxi's skills, and she is completely suppressed by Youxi.
I'm actually... not completely level yet, right
Yuanyuan also said something similar to Mei Fang today, but Mei Fang really just took it as a way of acting cute...
Yu Ling said that she would only chat with Mei Fang for a while, but she ended up delaying the conversation for half an hour.
Xia Yuan hid deeper in the quilt because she was afraid of being discovered. The quilt was very thick so she couldn't hear what her mother said. She could only keep attacking Mei Fang gently to remind her to finish quickly.
After Mei Fang finally sent Yu Ling away and turned off the lights, Xia Yuan crawled out of Mei Fang's bed with a sense of relief, breathing heavily.
"What did my mom talk to you about for so long?"
"Of course, let's talk about you."
"Come on, come ...
"Oh, just entrust Yuanyuan to me and ask me to treat you well and not let you down."
Mei Fang said to Xia Yuan gently, "But your family really loves you."
"Of course... whether it's my dad or my mom."
Perhaps, it was because of this heartfelt love that he couldn't bear to leave her alone in this world.
Of course, although this was a very distant thing, whenever Mei Fang thought of it, he would hug Xia Yuan tightly and become intimate with her.
"You just like hugging me so much?"
"You can't use so much force, just rub it gently..."
Xia Yuan blushed and gently stroked Mei Fang. She leaned close to Mei Fang's ear and whispered softly:
"Want... help?"
"Um… "
Mei Fang buried herself in Xia Yuan's arms and started to act like a baby.
It was also during this intimate interaction that Mei Fang understood again.
How could he not rely on fate
Youxi gave him the friendship of like-minded people, but Yuanyuan gave her the warm and comforting harbor like home. Both are indispensable parts of Mei Fang.
In the future, I should show Yuanyuan more of my dependence on her.
He spent a warm night at Xia Yuan's home.
The next day, after having breakfast at Xia Yuan's house, Mei Fang saw Youxi's message saying that she was going to accompany her parents for a physical examination. Originally, Mei Fang was thinking about whether he should go with Youxi to spend some time with her, but before he could send a message, Lin Youxi predicted and rejected him.
In her reply, Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang to remember to hold a video conference to determine the name of the live broadcast section and its current progress, but Xia Yuan had to go to say goodbye to his family today and could not accompany Mei Fang.
Without the support of the gentle countryside, Mei Fang felt that life had lost its fun and could only ride his bike back to prepare to work hard. However, he met Liu Xiaoyu on the way back from Yuanyuan's house.
When Mei Fang saw Liu Xiaoyu, he wanted to go up to her and say hello, but when he got closer, he realized that she had been walking with her head down without looking at the road, and looked very upset. She almost bumped head-on into a telephone pole, and only came to her senses when Mei Fang yelled her name.
"Mei, Mei Fang?"
She held her forehead which was about to hit, and looked at the surprised face: "You... you bought an electric car?"
“Is it so surprising that I bought an electric car?”
"I did not mean that."
Liu Xiaoyu mumbled and stammered for a while, and Mei Fang saw that she was nervous so she didn't dwell on the issue.
"Where are you going now?"
"I'm just about to go back."
"Isn't your home on Jiantao Road? This is quite far from there."
Mei Fang hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message to Mei Youyuan's group.
After receiving positive responses from Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi in seconds, Mei Fang asked Liu Xiaoyu, "Do you want me to take you back?"
"It's okay... I can just take a taxi or bus. If that doesn't work, I'll just take a walk."
"It's okay, I'm on my way, I'll give you a ride!"
Mei Fang moved his butt forward a little, then patted the back seat of his car and said to Liu Xiaoyu: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, come on up!"
"No need... Really no need..."
Liu Xiaoyu was obviously very resistant to the back seat of Mei Fang's car, as if sitting there was a very big deal. While trying to get rid of Mei Fang's invitation, because the ground was icy and the road was slippery, Liu Xiaoyu accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, covering his ankle in pain, obviously he had sprained his foot.
Well, I have to sit down now...
I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday and I didn't have time to ask for leave. The main reason is that I revised this chapter over 2,000 words before I was satisfied. I was playing Werewolf yesterday and was very tired. I'll just take yesterday as an excuse to take leave. I will make up for the update next time.
