Shortly after Peng Xue left Jiangcheng, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan took the initiative to contact Peng Xue's cousin Yan Zi by phone. After learning about the current situation of their band, they offered to provide them with some publicity assistance through Station C.
Yan Zi showed a very free and easy personality on the phone. She was not particularly surprised when she learned that Xia Yuan was the most famous online singer Yuan Bao. She did not refuse the help provided by Mei Fang but gladly accepted it. As for Peng Xue's development, her attitude was very clear:
"Xiaoxue doesn't want to stay with her family. I brought her out to help her relax. She is different from us old band players. She still has many opportunities for development. She should accumulate more experience before going out to explore. You can rest assured that no matter how the band develops this year, I will send her back at the end of the year."
Peng Xue's cousin Yan Zi was a girl who had been beaten by society in her early years, so she naturally didn't want Peng Xue to repeat her old path and regrets. But she knew more about the pressure her cousin Peng Xue was under at home than Xia Yuanmei, so she could understand Peng Xue's choice.
Yan Zi's ideas coincided with Xia Yuanmei's, and both sides were very happy to reach a consensus.
If Peng Xue really doesn't want to live with her family, Xia Yuan has already planned to arrange a nearby place for Peng Xue to live so that everyone can take care of each other.
Regarding Xia Yuan's arrangement, Lin Youxi specifically asked Xia Yuan why he didn't just bring Peng Xue to live at home. Xia Yuan felt a little guilty and blushed, saying that he was worried that Youxi and Xiaoxue wouldn't get along well.
Although there had been some speculation before, and Ah Fang had mentioned similar words since junior high school, some words came directly from Peng Xue's mouth. She personally admitted that she liked Mei Fang, which was completely different.
Of course, Xia Yuan would occasionally wonder whether Afang was also a factor in Xiaoxue's eagerness to prove herself this time.
But after all, our Afang is so outstanding that it is almost impossible for him not to be secretly loved by the girls around him.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that she had a confused personality, but fortunately Youyouxi helped me watch Ah Fang, otherwise I don't know if one person can control him...
For a while after this incident, Xia Yuan began to become more fond of sticking to Mei Fang.
Even when taking a shower, I have to stick to it.
Compared with the turbulent previous year, campus life in the second semester of high school was relatively calm.
Xia Yuan is still a very eye-catching campus idol. She occasionally accepts one or two interviews from school media and is invited to sing in some school-level performances. She is a star student who is very popular among teachers.
After winning the first prize in NOIP, Lin Youxi continued to maintain top academic performance and often gave speeches in front of his younger classmates as a representative of outstanding students.
Mei Fang's academic performance in school remained relatively stable. However, due to the particularity of game development, he had few opportunities to perform on stage at school and only occasionally appeared in print texts in campus media.
Balancing study and life is not an easy thing. The three of them study until 10 o'clock every day, and when they get home from school they have to prepare some food, clean the house and do the laundry.
But everyone takes turns doing housework, everyone rushes to do things, and they are considerate and caring of each other. Although there are some small disagreements in life, there are no major frictions.
The warm spring breeze in April always stays for a very short time in Jiangcheng. Almost at the same time when the cherry blossoms are scattering, the cicadas' chirping can be heard occasionally.
The weather started to get hot, and everyone at Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 Affiliated School changed into white short-sleeved school uniforms.
At this time, young and beautiful girls can always easily attract the attention of many boys, but Xia Yuan now begins to have new troubles.
Looking at her own clothes and appearance in the standing mirror, Xia Yuan always felt that something was wrong.
"You guys think... Have I gained a lot of weight recently?"
"Don't you have an electronic scale at home? You can just weigh it and you'll know."
Mei Fang, who had just gotten up, was changing into pajamas. He reminded Xia Yuan, "You bought it last winter or the year before last when you planned to run every morning. At that time, you said you wanted to lose weight, but you stopped after a few days."
"That's because you said, Ah Fang, that I'm fine the way I am now and don't need to lose weight."
"That's right, isn't it good..."
Mei Fang was changing into his pajamas when Lin Youxi, who was half asleep, suddenly lay on his bare shoulders.
While replenishing the Super Afang Energy she needed, she rubbed her eyes and smiled towards Xia Yuan, "But, Yuanyuan does have a lot more flesh, huh?"
"Is it, is it that obvious?!"
Xia Yuan seemed a little flustered. Lin Youxi opened her eyes and smiled and added:
"Yes, after all, recently when I woke up in the morning, I saw Ah Fang hugging you and never hugging me."
"Um, that's because—"
"Because Yuanyuan's body is very soft, right? I can understand that."
Lin Youxi leaned close to Mei Fang's ear and gently touched it, and Mei Fang's ears immediately turned red.
He didn't argue, but leaned back and got close to Lin Youxi, "How about you sleep in the middle tonight? I promise to hold you while you sleep."
"Um… "
Lin Youxi poked Mei Fang's cheek with a smile, "If you don't like hugging me, don't force yourself. It's meaningless."
"That's not the case, I—"
"You guys! Stop flirting in front of me!"
Xia Yuan's cheeks puffed up with anger. "Now it's obvious that my weight gain is more important. Have I really gained a lot of weight?"
Mei Fang shook her head. "That's not true! Our Yuanyuan's is just plump, and it feels very comfortable to pinch."
"That means you're fat!"
"Is it okay to be a little fat? I want to be fat but I haven't had the chance yet. Look—"
As Lin Youxi was about to unbutton her pajamas in front of Mei Fang, Xia Yuan shamefully told Lin Youxi to stop, "Da Me! Youxi! Stop being naughty so early in the morning!"
"It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you so embarrassed?"
Lin Youxi pinched Mei Fang's shoulders, and then leaned over to say to Mei Fang: "Yuanyuan is so cute, isn't she?"
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi's hand and began to caress it, "Youxi, you are also very cute."
"Don't think about flirting with me early in the morning. It's really awkward and I don't like it."
"No, I just mean--puff--to be honest--puff--"
While Mei Fang was talking, Lin Youxi attacked Mei Fang's mouth frantically, making him unable to breathe.
Xia Yuan had no intention of watching Youxi and Mei Fang being so affectionate in front of her. She finally found an electronic scale to weigh herself.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if he hadn't stood up, but once he had stood up and saw the numbers, Xia Yuan almost died on the spot.
"I've gained 5 kilograms compared to last year!"
"Five pounds is normal, so it's not surprising to see it fluctuate up and down."
Mei Fang took the shirt Lin Youxi handed him, stood up and put on his jeans, then walked forward to look at the number on the electronic scale—
"Let me see how much you weigh now."
"Don't look!"
Xia Yuan jumped off the electronic scale, clenched his fists and looked determined, "I'm going to the gym to exercise! Let Yunyun recommend the gym and personal trainer she often goes to to me!"
"Guo Yun's gym is so far away, it's not enough for you to exercise every time you go there. Besides, you don't know anyone there, and I'm worried about you being approached by outsiders."
Mei Fang thought about it and patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, "You might as well just practice at home. Youxi and I will supervise you."
“Can exercising at home help?”
Xia Yuan muttered, "I was afraid that you and Youxi would not want me to suffer, so you kept me fat and plump..."
Lin Youxi had already changed into her regular clothes while the two were talking. She took Xia Yuan's hand and said seriously, "Yuanyuan, if you want to lose weight, Afang and I will do our best to cooperate with you. Afang will plan the fitness plan, and I will formulate the weight loss diet."
Mei Fang nodded. "I'll go ask Guo Yun about the details of her fitness plan. She has more experience in this area. I'll also work out with you. I happen to have the same needs."
"Afang, are you exhausted? I haven't even tried my best yet."
Lin Youxi deliberately teased Mei Fang and led the topic in a difficult direction, which made Mei Fang very angry.
"Good health! This is just to keep healthy, what are you talking about!"
"Hehe..."
Seeing that his two childhood sweethearts were so actively cooperating with his weight loss efforts, Xia Yuan felt very motivated.
"In that case, let's start preparing to lose weight next week!"
"Next week... Why next week?"
"Because... I have to eat all the fried chicken, fries and burgers that I can't eat during my diet this week?"
"You still want to lose weight!"
Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's face and rubbed it repeatedly, bullying her severely.
The contemporary concept of fat loss does not actually require much exercise. The principle is actually very simple, which is precise card control.
As long as you ensure that your daily calorie intake is less than your expenditure, you can ensure that you lose a little weight every day, so there is a saying that 30% exercise and 70% diet.
Of course, if you are good at card control, you can practice with 0 points even if you eat 100%. It just depends on how obsessed you are with eating.
"Guo Yun said that if you want to lose weight properly, the first thing you need to pay attention to is less oil, less sugar, and more high-quality protein, so this is the daily recipe I modified based on her recommendation and everyone's taste, you can take a look."
Lin Youxi, who is a man of action, showed the Mei family's new recipe to everyone the next day - she has always been the chef in the family, so the recipes are naturally customized by her.
Breakfast: [half a sweet corn, a boiled egg, a cup of unsweetened soy milk]
Chinese food: [2 taels of buckwheat noodles + cucumber shreds + chicken breast + broccoli + vinaigrette]
Dinner: [200g black pepper steak, one corn cup]
Xia Yuan found this diet plan very novel when she first saw it. "It doesn't look that painful. I saw other people eating a lot of grass and salad when they were losing weight."
"Because Yuanyuan definitely can't eat that kind of thing, and I don't like it either, so I won't try it."
Lin Youxi said, "We can have breakfast and dinner at home. I will prepare lunch in the morning. Remember to put the lunch boxes in the refrigerator over in the club classroom. It's hot now and things will spoil easily."
"Then I'll go to the club room and put food there every morning."
"As for the fitness plan, I also had a good chat with Guo Yun yesterday. She said that one hour of strength training plus half an hour of aerobic exercise every day would be more effective in building muscle and reducing fat."
"What is strength training? I'm curious..."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Is it lifting dumbbells or something?"
"This is one of them. Anyway, I'll buy some equipment for home training first. This weekend, I'll invite Guo Yun to our house to give everyone training guidance. By the way... I haven't heard Youxi talk about your ideas before. Do you plan to work out and lose weight together?"
"I won't participate. You two just need to practice well."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "It takes a lot of time to study recipes every day. I want to try to make something different every day so that you don't get tired of it, Yuanyuan."
"No, no! How could I possibly get tired of the food Youxi prepared for me? I will definitely eat it well!"
Xia Yuan gave Lin Youxi a thumbs up and said, "I also believe in Youxi's cooking skills!"
Before Guo Yun came to give guidance and before the equipment was delivered, Mei Fang planned to go jogging with Xia Yuan every morning. Xia Yuan looked very energetic in her sportswear and seemed really determined to lose weight.
Mei Fang led Xia Yuan to run two laps in the community, and gradually Xia Yuan showed signs of being unable to run anymore.
"I, I can't do it anymore... Ah Fang, you run first, I'll catch up in a bit."
"That won't work... We have to run together."
Mei Fang reminded Xia Yuan, "This is still the simplest flat ground running, there is no climbing yet. If you can't stand it now, it will be more difficult later."
"I'm not overwhelmed, I just--um... never mind... let's go together!"
Xia Yuan jogged along with Mei Fang, but Mei Fang slowed down a little to take care of Xia Yuan who was preparing so hard for the first time.
As Xia Yuan ran, she gradually adapted to the rhythm, so that she had the energy to chat with Mei Fang who was standing beside her.
"Ah Fang... do you also think I'm a delicate young lady?"
"You still can't let go of what Peng Xue said about you before?"
"Well... a little bit."
Xia Yuan nodded, "I can't deny that I am indeed much happier than many people, but I think I have suffered a lot, and I am not so fragile, don't you think?"
"Of course you've suffered... when you were doing physics problems, when you were writing songs, when you were preparing for selection exams... and when you stood up for others."
Mei Fang thought for a moment, "Of course, these hardships may not seem like much to others, but I really like the strong character that Yuanyuan showed when facing these things."
"Right! So I think, and even if I face more hardships, I think I should be able to hold on."
Xia Yuan wiped the sweat off his face, gradually slowed down his pace, and then continued:
"I know that compared to Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue, my life is indeed very happy, but I will understand them... As for the three of us, we still have a long way to go, and I will try not to hold you and Youxi back. I can't always count on you to protect me."
"Why are you suddenly saying something so serious..."
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan's gradually slowing pace and suddenly realized, "Yuan Yuan, you're not trying to be lazy, are you?"
"How, how is this possible!?"
Xia Yuan grabbed Mei Fang and said while panting, "I'm telling you my determination!"
"If you are determined, just finish the four laps first. Don't stop and start. Aren't you a young lady who can endure hardships?"
“I know!”
Xia Yuan, who was very angry, followed Mei Fang and ran the whole course with gritted teeth.
