Yuan Jiang, who debuted as an artificial intelligence virtual anchor, gained 5 million fans in her first live broadcast on Station C, which almost paralyzed Station C's website. Lin Youxi spent a lot of energy to follow up and maintain it.
"Huh... it's finally over!"
As soon as the show started, Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang who came to greet her and wanted to cuddle with her. "I feel like I'm going to get tired. It's really hard to handle the audience."
"Thank you for your hard work, but the live broadcast effect is really good. Do you want to see your popularity value?"
"Forget it... I'm not interested. I feel like 1,000 people are the same as 100,000 people. Now I just want Ah Fang to hug me... I want to replenish Ah Fang's energy like crazy!"
Mei Fang was hugging Xia Yuan in his arms, and Lin Youxi knocked on the door and entered Xia Yuan's studio. He said to the two of them, "The virtual live broadcast was a great success. We are going to celebrate by having a dinner outside. Uncle said he will treat us today, so let's eat as much as we want."
"Ahh! That usually stingy uncle is actually going to treat us? We'll have to make a big profit from him!"
"Yeah, have fun."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "I'll go back first."
"Youxi is not going?"
"I'm a little tired today, I want to go home and rest first."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Besides, I don't like the feeling of being in a crowd and being noisy. Besides, Ah Fang also wants to accompany Yuan Yuan, but you have to take me home first."
"Yeah... OK."
Mei Fang stood up and took out the car keys. Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi and thought for a while, "If Youxi doesn't want to go, then I won't go either. Let's go home together."
"Yuanyuan."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "I won't take advantage of the fact that Ah Fang is driving me to school to attack him."
"No... that's not what I meant!"
Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi quietly, "I just think that it's better for the three of us to keep moving together. And Youxi, did you get your period early today?"
"ah… "
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "That's right, how did you figure it out?"
"We've known each other for so many years. I can tell from your expression."
Xia Yuan was humming as she got up from Mei Fang, and Mei Fang immediately went over and hugged Lin Youxi tightly.
"Silly boy, you didn't even tell me you were here early, otherwise how could I have let you suffer so much today?"
"Isn't it because I'm worried that the website will be overwhelmed by Yuan-chan's popularity? I'm not at ease leaving it to the people below to maintain it..."
Lin Youxi showed a slightly patient expression and leaned into Mei Fang's arms, "Okay... Don't talk to me, it hurts."
"You're so..."
Youxi is a congenital dysmenorrhea patient, and she is easily tortured to death by dysmenorrhea every time her menstrual period comes.
However, she was used to being patient and didn't want to make people around her worry, so she rarely showed it. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan usually took good care of Lin Youxi, but in the past two days they were busy with live broadcasts and neglected to pay attention to Lin Youxi's condition.
After saying goodbye to his colleagues at the company, Mei Fang drove Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi home.
Lin Youxi was lying on her side in Xia Yuan's arms in the back seat. Mei Fang drove the car smoothly and steadily, while Xia Yuan reached out to rub Lin Youxi's belly.
"Youxi, do you feel better this way?"
"Yeah, better..."
Lin Youxi snuggled in Xia Yuan's arms, "Yuanyuan's hands are so warm. I feel much more comfortable now."
"Hehe... As expected, girls know how to be considerate to other girls the best. Ah Fang can't compare to that."
"Um… "
Lin Youxi's eyes fell on Mei Fang. "That can't be said. Ah Fang is still a very good person."
"Oh, just pamper him..."
"Afang, do you remember what happened when I had my first period?"
"Ah, that was when I was in the first grade..."
Mei Fang thought about it, and then said with emotion, "That impression was indeed quite deep."
Xia Yuan was originally enjoying the fun of playing the role of the mother in the playhouse, but when she heard Mei Fang and Lin Youxi talking about the past with nostalgia on their faces, she immediately frowned and said, "What happened to you? How come I don't know anything about it!"
"I kept that secret from you at first... but I kept forgetting to tell you later."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Since Yuanyuan wants to hear it, then I will tell you-"
Mei Fang stared at Lin Youxi in the rearview mirror and said distressedly, "Is your stomach no longer hurting? How about I tell you about it?"
"It's much better now, I'll just tell you."
Lin Youxi thought for a moment, "I remember it happened in the first semester of the first year of junior high school, when winter was approaching—"
—
The time came to the winter of 2008. That was the story that happened when Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were still in the first grade of Baimei County Experimental Middle School.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had just given their father a motorcycle as a gift, and then began to devote themselves to their daily studies and life.
In junior high school, everyone is in the early stages of puberty, and there are some differences in the development and growth of different people, but most girls of this age have grown rapidly in height.
Lin Youxi is also a little taller than Mei Fang, which has always bothered Mei Fang. So she tries hard to drink milk every morning so as not to lose to her two childhood sweethearts at the starting line.
In addition to height, the more obvious change for girls is in their bust. For example, Xia Yuan has been feeling uncomfortable recently because her bust has developed too well.
When she and Lin Youxi went to the toilet together, she would wrap her coat tightly while walking. Lin Youxi was very surprised at Xia Yuan's behavior.
"Yuanyuan, are you afraid of the cold recently?"
“Not really… Haha.”
Xia Yuan scratched his head and said, "I just feel very uncomfortable recently."
Lin Youxi leaned closer to Xia Yuan, "Is it... that thing has grown up again?"
"Um… "
Xia Yuan nodded, "Don't tell Ah Fang about this. I don't want him to laugh at me for only growing that part and not growing taller."
"I won't tell him."
Lin Youxi nodded, "But Ah Fang isn't the kind of guy who would laugh at this."
"It's not that I'm afraid of him laughing at me... Anyway... I just don't want him to know."
Xia Yuan muttered, "I'm the only one in our class who is so exaggerated. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm sick."
Lin Youxi tilted her head and said, "This shouldn't be the case. I saw that Teacher Yu's place is also very big."
"My mother did say that. She told me it was hereditary and I didn't need to worry..." Xia Yuan sighed, "I was just afraid she was just saying that to comfort me."
"But from what I've seen in novels, boys seem to prefer bigger ones."
"What, what kind of weird novel is this? Youxi, don't let romance novels lead you astray."
Xia Yuan said seriously, "That can really affect one's studies. There was a girl in my elementary school who used to have good grades, but later on she became addicted to romance novels and became a bad student."
"Well, I, I just heard it from others, I didn't see it myself."
Lin Youxi explained to Xia Yuan guiltily, but fortunately Xia Yuan trusted her and did not delve into it too much.
"It's good that you have Xi. I also want to grow taller."
Xia Yuan sighed and said, "If I don't grow taller like this, you are not allowed to laugh at me for being a dwarf in the future."
"No, Yuanyuan is cute even if she's small!"
Lin Youxi's serious words made Xia Yuan laugh, "Hahaha, Youxi you are really good at comforting people... Okay, okay."
Xia Yuan patted Lin Youxi's shoulder and waved goodbye to her, "I'm going back to class first. Please help me keep an eye on what Ah Fang is doing."
"good."
Ever since she and Afang were not in the same class, Yuanyuan has always been concerned about whether Afang has made new friends - especially friends of the opposite sex.
After all, she cares too.
However, apart from getting along well with Zhang Ming in class, Mei Fang doesn't seem to be very interested in other classmates.
But his relationship with Zhang Ming was not so good that it was better than Lin Youxi's. Every time Lin Youxi greeted Mei Fang or poked him with a pen, Mei Fang would leave Zhang Ming behind and respond to Lin Youxi's questions first.
When Lin Youxi returned to the classroom, she saw Mei Fang playing cards with Zhang Ming.
Recently, boys have been addicted to a card game called "Yu-Gi-Oh!". Every time after class or at lunch time, the boys would draw out their own decks and happily duel with each other.
Although bringing things that are not related to study to school has always been strictly prohibited by the class teacher Li Shibing, Lin Youxi, although the class monitor, never interferes. As long as it is not in class or during lunch break and affects other people, Lin Youxi will never stop it.
After all, her childhood sweetheart also likes to play this.
And it seems like he's having a lot of fun.
Every time you see boys gathering around Mei Fang and asking him for advice.
At first they played pen spinning, then books spinning, and later they played cards. Whenever the boys encountered rules that they didn't understand, they would run over to ask Mei Fang for help.
"Speaking of which, Mei Fang is really popular..."
Seeing that Mei Fang was always surrounded by people, Yue Xinyi, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that she is only popular among boys."
Lin Youxi turned her head and looked at Yue Xinyi, "Are you saying that he will not be popular with girls?"
Yue Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "Girls still like more mature boys."
"Ah-Isn't Mei Fang mature?"
"He... always plays childish games. I don't think he's mature."
"So what is maturity?"
Yue Xinyi held her chin with her hand and acted like a fangirl. "Maturity should be like the hero Ye Zhiqiu in the movie I watched recently. He got leukemia, so he took the initiative to break up with his girlfriend Xia Moxi, and then chose to be alone in a corner for treatment, because he knew there was a kind of love called letting go. The sign of maturity is knowing that you love deeply, but willing to take the initiative to choose to bear the suffering for her happiness."
"That doesn't sound like the kind of sweet writing you'd enjoy reading."
"I've seen too much sugar... Sometimes I want to eat knives."
Yue Xinyi held her chin and said, "However, Xia Moxi knew the real reason why Ye Zhiqiu broke up, and the two of them fought the disease together and overcame leukemia together."
"But I remember that it should be a terminal illness."
"Yes, but Ye Zhiqiu is a rich second-generation, his family is very wealthy, he should be able to cure it, at least the chance of being cured is greater than us poor people."
Yue Xinyi said to Lin Youxi, "If I had leukemia and were in a family like ours, I would definitely not let my parents spend money on me. I would just eat and sleep as much as I want, and live happily and happily. I would live one day at a time."
"Yeah, me too."
Lin Youxi's family has no money, and leukemia is a very distant and terminal illness for her. How can she survive with this disease
…
You're thinking too far ahead.
Bored Lin Youxi poked Mei Fang, who was chatting with her friends, with a pen.
"how?"
Mei Fang turned around with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?"
Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang: "It's almost time for class, stop chatting all the time."
"Okay, okay."
Mei Fang turned around and leaned on Lin Youxi's desk with her chin in her hand, staring at Lin Youxi.
"Then I'll talk to you, okay?"
"I'm just reminding you that class is about to start."
"It's almost time for class... I haven't said a word to you yet, are you upset?"
Lin Youxi's expression became very calm, and then he began to poke Mei Fang's chest hard with a pen.
"It's so itchy, hahahaha... please don't poke here, okay—"
“Ahhh! I bumped into it, I bumped into it!”
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were having a great time, and the sweet girl Yue Xinyi beside them seemed even happier than them.
When it was almost time for the evening self-study class to end, Lin Youxi suddenly began to feel a little sore in her lower abdomen. She thought it was a stomachache at first, so she didn't think anything of it.
When school was over, Lin Youxi stood up and suddenly felt a burning pain. She covered her lower abdomen and felt the pain was unbearable.
Mei Fang, who was carrying her schoolbag, turned around and saw Lin Youxi's appearance. She immediately became a little worried and asked, "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
Lin Youxi nodded slightly, "I feel like I have an upset stomach."
"Can you hold on? If not, Yuanyuan and I will take a taxi to send you back."
"No... I think taking the bus will be fine."
Mei Fang helped Lin Youxi to get up. When he got close to Lin Youxi, he suddenly smelled a special smell, but he was not sure whether this smell was what he thought.
"Um, Yes..."
"Um?"
"Just, have you ever... that—"
Mei Fang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, "Forget it, it's nothing, I'll take you home first."
Mei Fang carefully supported Lin Youxi as she walked out of the classroom. All the classmates were surprised by their intimate behavior. After all, it was rare for a boy and girl to support each other so boldly.
When Xia Yuan came out of the classroom, he saw this scene and immediately rushed forward anxiously.
"Ah Fang, what happened to Youxi..."
"She said her stomach was upset."
"Do you still need to go to the bathroom, or do you want to insist on going home? Fang and I will take you home."
"I can just go home, um..." Lin Youxi smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing serious."
Lin Youxi, with the support of Xia Yuan, squeezed into the bus. The school bus was full of people at night and the air was really stuffy, but Xia Yuan held Lin Youxi tightly all the time, and Mei Fang tried her best to find a seat for Lin Youxi to sit down. Xia Yuan held Lin Youxi's hand and stood aside, while Mei Fang directly held the bracelet to protect Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi at the same time.
"This way we can protect Youxi!"
Xia Yuan was quite satisfied with this situation. "Youxi, just bear with it a little longer. We will be able to get home soon."
"good… "
The bus was very bumpy along the way. Lin Youxi held her lower abdomen tighter. The pain in her lower body spread throughout her body, making her feel very bad.
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang finally sent Lin Youxi home, only to find that all the lights in Lin Youxi's house were dimmed.
"Isn't Uncle Lin back at this time?"
"He told me yesterday that he would be at the construction site today."
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang looked at each other after hearing this, and then Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi, "Why don't you come live at my house? If you feel uncomfortable, I can take care of you."
"No, no... I should be fine. I just need to rest for a while."
Lin Youxi's final state was relatively normal. When Mei Fang and Xia Yuan heard her say that, they didn't think much about it and returned to the community together.
…
When Lin Youxi returned to the room alone, she took off her autumn trousers in the bathroom. Looking at the large red-brown area with some bloodstains, she remembered the topic about leukemia that she had talked about with Yue Xinyi today. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged into Lin Youxi's heart.
She didn't say anything much, just simply wiped her body and carefully rubbed her clothes clean. But no matter how hard she rubbed, there was always some lingering strange smell.
Gradually, Lin Youxi thought about many things while scrubbing. Her vision was gradually blurred by tears, and finally her tears fell, soaking the autumn trousers she was scrubbing.
