The next day after soaking in the hot spring, Mei Fang felt refreshed. His back, which had been aching so much before, now felt more relaxed than ever before and did not feel heavy at all.
It seems that my dad still has something...
Suddenly I remembered the time when my father gave me training.
He gently moved Xia Yuan's little head on his left side, wiped the saliva off his neck, and then helped Lin Youxi to lift her hair, trying to move Lin Youxi's hands away from him, but Lin Youxi refused to let go.
It’s really difficult...
So Mei Fang leaned close to Lin Youxi's ear, trying to scare her:
"My mom is coming over, get up quickly."
After hearing this, Lin Youxi not only did not get up, but murmured, "Yuanyuan, ask Auntie for it... Get up quickly."
"!"
Although Xia Yuan was still in a daze, she jumped out of bed with a guilty conscience after hearing Lin Youxi mention Aunt Xiang's name. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, her eyes falling on the direction of the wardrobe:
"I, I'll hide in the closet first—"
"What are you hiding..."
Mei Fang grabbed Xia Yuan who wanted to hide.
"Youxi was just kidding! Don't get so excited."
"Ah... Youxi, you are so bad!"
An angry Xia Yuan wanted to hit Lin Youxi a few times, but Lin Youxi was still lying lazily in Mei Fang's arms like a cat. "It's not my fault. It was Ah Fang who did something bad to me first."
"Then I'll beat Ah Fang!"
Xia Yuan said he was going to hit her, but when he got to Mei Fang he just pinched her with a little force.
After being tempered by his father last night, for Mei Fang, Yuanyuan's attack not only failed to cause any harm, but instead became an ultimate caress.
"You can use more force, I can't feel it."
"You look down on me, don't you?"
Xia Yuan immediately exerted his strength upon hearing this, but Mei Fang still looked relaxed and relaxed, "Not bad, that's the strength! Excellent, Yuanyuan! If only you could use a little more strength!"
"You're pushing your luck!"
Xia Yuan pressed Mei Fang with all his might, and Mei Fang shook his head with a smug look on his face. Suddenly, Xia Yuan put his hand on Mei Fang's back. Mei Fang, who had been tempered yesterday, immediately grinned and changed his expression.
"It's really unfair to play here! Didn't you see the condition of my back yesterday?"
"I don't care! Unless you beg me for mercy and call me mom!"
"It's just a coincidence. I will never beg for mercy from you!"
"Hehe, Ah Fang baby is still being stubborn at this time. It seems that if Yuanyuan mother doesn't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful Yuanyuan mother is!"
Xia Yuan pressed Mei Fang under him and was about to start a new round of attack when suddenly the door opened with a click. Xia Yuan and Mei Fang's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"Have fun, brother and sister Yuanyuan."
Little Meiya opened the door and covered her mouth with her hands while giggling. Seeing this, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan felt relieved.
"Get out! What are you doing barging into our room...? You're just fooling around."
Mei Fang was trying to drive Mei Ya out with a look of disdain, but Mei Ya just put her hands in her pockets and smiled leisurely:
"Actually, I don't have much to do here. I just want to tell you that Mom and Dad are planning to come over to see how you slept tonight—"
"Sister Xiaoya, help, help, help—"
At the simultaneous pleas of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang, Mei Ya jumped over to stop Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia. When Lin Youxi saw this scene, she suddenly remembered some interesting things from her childhood and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Today was the day everyone had agreed to go skiing at the artificial ski resort in the north area of the resort, but Xia Xun did not appear in the departure team due to feeling unwell.
As the culprit why Xia Xun could not show up, Mei Lijun was constantly blamed by Xiang Xiaoxia along the way. Mei Lijun lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and Yu Ling comforted them with kind words.
“I feel that the relationship between our family members has become much more harmonious.”
Looking at the three parents' chattering backs, Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I feel like this is a step closer to the three of us..."
"Indeed, it's very good."
Lin Youxi smiled slightly. "Last night, when I video-called my parents, I also told them about the interesting things that happened in the past few days. They were also very interested after listening to it. If there is a chance next time, our three families must go out and play together."
"Okay, okay, but don't let Uncle Mei rub people's backs at that time. My dad is too miserable."
"Ha... I'm miserable too, okay."
Mei Fang said with some grievance, "But I still came skiing with you guys."
"Hmm..."
Skiing is a very novel experience for adults, and Mei Youyuan and the other three had accumulated some experience because they had often gone skiing before. However, only Mei Fang's skills were good enough to lead others, so Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi could only take care of themselves. This made Mei Fang very busy all the time.
"Teacher Yu, when skiing, your center of gravity should be forward, not backward. Your calves should be pressed forward against your snow boots. Hold the ski poles with both hands and raise them forward. Bend your elbows and knees slightly. That's right, that's it..."
"Xiaoya! It's okay even if you fall. It's better to fall while skiing than to bump into someone. It won't hurt to fall in the snow."
"Mom, don't drag Yuanyuan along to skate, her skills are just... Well, I'll tell you!"
"Dad! Don't take the cable car! That's an advanced slide. If you go up, you can't get down! Are you crazy?"
Teacher Mei Fang was somewhat exhausted while teaching skiing, because the original plan was for him to teach the course together with Xia Xun, who was good at skiing, but in the end the entire burden fell on him.
Mei Fang had just helped Mei Ya overcome the psychological barrier of sliding down when he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him. Teacher Yu, who had lost his ski poles, slid down diagonally from his side while shouting. Xia Yuan hurriedly chased after him, calling on Mei Fang for help!
"Afang! Help quickly!"
Seeing his mother-in-law in trouble, Mei Fang immediately drove at full speed to catch up with Teacher Yu. The frightened Teacher Yu grabbed Mei Fang's arm tightly, and then slowly slowed down along with Mei Fang, finally ending the accident without any danger.
"Huh... this is too scary!"
"Never let go of the cane. It's too dangerous."
"I just wanted Yuanyuan to take a picture of me to show Uncle Xia, but I accidentally slipped down..."
"Then don't take pictures uphill. It's too dangerous."
"I understand... I won't do it again next time..."
Teacher Yu muttered a few words in a somewhat aggrieved manner, and Mei Fang, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed when he saw this.
"Anyway... Teacher Yu, please pay attention. You've already learned very quickly. If you work harder—"
puff.
While Mei Fang was mumbling, Teacher Yu suddenly burst out laughing.
"I remember when you were in primary school, I was the teacher who advised you not to be proud and complacent... I never thought that the situation would go the other way."
"Ha... learning never ends. This is what Teacher Yu taught me since I was a child. It also applies to Teacher Yu."
Yu Ling patted Mei Fang on the back and said, "It would be great if you could always remember the words your teacher taught you."
"I remember... I always remember."
Mei Fang knew that she was reminding him of what they had talked about that night, so he nodded slightly with a bitter smile, "But some things are not so easy to solve if you just know them..."
Yu Ling was stunned for a moment, then slowly remembered after seeing Mei Fang's reaction, "Are you talking about the warning I gave you before?"
"Like I told you before, even though Yuanyuan has broken up with you now, she still likes you very much, and that hasn't changed."
“Teacher Yu… Although I can’t give you too many guarantees now, whether we are lovers or not, I will cherish our relationship very much.”
Mei Fang's voice was not only gentle but also firm. "I hope you will never doubt this."
"Yeah... Of course I believe in the character of my students, but it's really not easy for the three of you to maintain such a harmonious and close relationship."
Mei Fang was a little concerned by the veiled tone of Teacher Yu's words, but he didn't reveal his flaws so easily. "Yeah, it's really not easy... After all, a lot of things happened between us. It's really not easy to continue to be so close."
"It's not necessarily true that the more friends you have, the better. But it's not easy to have one or two close friends or lovers like you."
Yu Ling patted Mei Fang's arm and said, "I'm not just talking about Youxi and Yuanyuan. You should cherish the friendship with every good friend you meet."
"Yeah... I understand."
Mei Fang nodded. At this time, Xia Yuan in the distance was waving his hand and sliding down carefully.
Teacher Yu patted Mei Fang on the head and smiled at him. "Come to think of it, Yuanyuan told me and her father about your one-year agreement. You and Youxi's relationship will only last for one year, right?"
"Ah... um..."
Mei Fang nodded seriously.
"It's actually quite good to separate like this... Whether it's for Yuanyuan, Youxi or you."
Yu Ling said in a gentle voice: "Although reshaping the relationship is a difficult thing, it can also help you step out of the perspective of intimacy and reconsider some things between each other. This is a valuable growth for both of you."
"Yeah... I will remember what Teacher Yu said."
"Then, can Ah Fang, as a teacher, take a student of my age up there with me?"
Teacher Yu took Mei Fang's arm and smiled at her. There was something indescribably playful and cute about her smiling face, which made Mei Fang's little heart suddenly skip a beat.
Then, Xia Yuan, who had hurried over to protest not far away, was heard falling headfirst into the snow with a thud.
Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, Xia Yuan's family and Mei Lijun's family had a very good holiday on this New Year's Day trip. On the last night, the Xia family, the Mei family and the Lin family representative Lin Youxi sat together in the living room of the villa, talking and laughing, watching the New Year's Day party together, and welcoming the countdown to the new year together.
At the end of 2013, the hour, minute and second hands moved forward together.
From the resort in Linjiang District, we could see the gorgeous fireworks not far away, and everyone ran outside the yard to stop and admire them.
And so 2014 arrived.
Mei Fang will soon be celebrating his 18th birthday.
Looking back, my rebirth happened exactly twelve years ago.
Before becoming a real adult, are all the efforts I have made in the past 12 years worthy of the status of a reborn person
Mei Fang couldn't help but start asking himself questions with some emotion.
His rebirth brought him almost no blessing except experience, and his start was the lottery start and the crazy collection of BAK coins, which were the most disdainful of all the reborn people.
Instead of working towards his original goal of making money and moving towards endless wealth, he was content to enjoy a busy life pursuing what he loved.
Although he sometimes complains about his lack of ability or lack of effort and care, overall he is quite satisfied with himself.
Of course…
Mei Fang looked at Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan who were watching the brilliant fireworks.
The beautiful colors of the rainbow are reflected in their eyes.
That’s also the color of happiness.
On the first day of New Year's Day, the group came back from the resort and had a meal together. After explaining many precautions to each other, Mei Youyuan saw off Mei Lijun and his wife, Mei Ya, and Xia Xun and his wife.
As they waved goodbye to them, something suddenly began to flutter down from the grey sky.
"It's snowing again."
The busy days did not make Xia Yuan feel tired at all. She took off her gloves happily to take the snowflakes, and then showed them to Lin Youxi and Mei Fang.
"Look! Such big snowflakes. It should snow heavily today."
"I have to remind uncles and aunts to drive safely."
As Lin Youxi was talking, she sighed again, "It looks like this year will be a very cold year."
"It doesn't matter how cold it is, can't you just hold me and Yuanyuan?"
Facing Mei Fang's sudden witty remarks, Lin Youxi just smiled slightly and said, "Yuanyuan is warmer than you. I will definitely go and hug my Yuanyuan."
"That won't work. Yuanyuan is yours, but it's also mine. We should share the happiness and embrace the destiny together."
"You are so shameless...right, Yuanyuan?"
Lin Youxi turned around to seek Xia Yuan's support, but saw Xia Yuan staring in a daze at the snowflakes in his hands that had turned into water.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang looked at each other, and then asked Yuanyuan softly, "What's wrong? You seem to be thinking about something."
"Ah... um..."
Xia Yuan sighed, then lifted her hair and smiled slightly, "I was just wondering, I wonder how Xiaoxue is doing..."
Mei Fang has been paying attention to this matter, so he knows it very well.
"Peng Xue's cousin's band is now quite famous, especially in Chengdu. Many people can sing their folk songs. They also have a lot of fans on Station C. Now they will definitely have no problem getting enough food."
Mei Fang said, "But no matter what, Peng Xue will definitely come back for the New Year this year."
"Well... But, that's right, after Afang and I broke up and Youxi got together with Afang, Xiaoxue never contacted me."
Xia Yuan muttered, "She clearly cared so much about this matter before, I don't know what she thinks now. Also, she rarely told me how she spent the past six months, and she just said that she was doing well. We used to talk about everything, but I always feel that after she left this time, we seem to have become a lot more distant..."
"Don't get anxious unnecessarily! No matter what, let's wait until we see the higher-ups."
Mei Fang smiled at Xia Yuan and comforted her, "Just have a good chat in person and talk to each other about your feelings. You two are lifelong friends, aren't you?"
"OK."
Xia Yuan also nodded seriously.
I'm going back to Shenzhen tomorrow.
