Pengcheng is a special zone city located on the coast.
Compared with "big county towns" like Jiangcheng in central China, it is much more prosperous.
Clean and tidy streets, towering tall buildings, and vibrant urban greenery.
However, behind this prosperity are the arduous struggles of two generations of people from all over the country who have worked hard to open up the mountains and forests.
Therefore, Pengcheng is also known as a working city and a place of struggle.
Many people have realized their dream of financial freedom here.
But they also spent all their beautiful youth in this place.
It was the first time for Mei Fang to travel far away, and the first time to come to such a big city. He couldn't help but look around a few more times to feel the atmosphere of the big city in advance.
But Mei Fang will not linger in the prosperity of big cities.
Because he quickly focused his attention on the girl next to him who was holding his arm tightly.
Even though it was the first time for both of them to travel far away, there was no hesitation or anxiety in each other's eyes, but more of a sense of nervousness and anticipation.
Thus, the area jokingly called "zone" by Yue Xinyi slowly expanded around the two of them again.
Mei Fang held Liu Xiaoyu's hand and pulled her through the surging crowd.
The two took public transportation as planned and arrived safely at the hotel Liu Xiaoyu had booked in advance.
The hotel looked very upscale at first glance. Mei Fang had only seen such a magnificent lobby on TV.
Mei Fang watched Liu Xiaoyu go through the hotel check-in process and asked about the purpose of doing so from time to time.
Liu Xiaoyu patiently introduced the process to Mei Fang. She and her family often traveled and were quite familiar with the procedures.
Liu Xiaoyu booked a twin room.
Although the room was not big, the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows offered views of the seaside. Liu Xiaoyu, who claimed that it was her first time seeing the sea, was very excited. As soon as she entered the room, she put down her bag and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. She turned around and gestured to Mei Fang about the seaside scenery:
"Wow wow wow, Ah Fang, look over here, the sea is so beautiful!"
"Hmm... it's really beautiful—"
Mei Fang looked in the direction Liu Xiaoyu was heading, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on her.
call…
He slowly closed the door, and then as if he breathed a sigh of relief, he pushed the suitcase forward and put it away, slowly walked to Liu Xiaoyu's side, and then looked at the scenery outside the window with her.
In the distance, the azure sea and the azure sky meet in a straight line. The broad view makes people feel suddenly enlightened.
While Mei Fang was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Liu Xiaoyu beside him seemed a little unhappy.
"Ah Fang, what are you doing so far away from me, you."
Liu Xiaoyu tilted her head and tugged at the corner of Mei Fang's clothes, with two blushes on her face.
"There's no outsider here, so please don't be so reserved!"
"It's because there are no outsiders..."
"Just because there are no outsiders? Hmm? Could it be that our Ah Fang and I are traveling together for some other purpose?"
"Ah, meah, meah!"
Mei Fang muttered as he slowly approached Liu Xiaoyu. He touched his nose somewhat at a loss, hesitated for a while, and then looked at Liu Xiaoyu again. Liu Xiaoyu smiled and raised his head slightly.
At the beginning, as a prey, Liu Xiaoyu still maintained gentle restraint.
However, when the subsequent beasts invaded like fire, the prey gradually lost itself in the suffocating joy and slowly gave up struggling—
call…
When he came to his senses, Liu Xiaoyu fell on the quilt.
Her pitiful and weak posture became the outbreak point for the little beast to accelerate its attack.
If it weren't for the sudden rumbling sound coming from Liu Xiaoyu's stomach, perhaps the little beast would never have remembered that his name was Mei Fang.
Phew… Ha…
Liu Xiaoyu gasped heavily, her pretty face flushed as she stared at her lover in front of her.
Then, he slowly puffed up his cheeks, “Ah Fang, you are so mean to bully me.”
"Woo woo, sorry, sorry!"
Mei Fang kept telling Liu Xiaoyu how sorry she was, "Because Yu'er is so cute, I couldn't help but want to bully her a few more times..."
"When I first met you, you weren't so smooth-talking."
Liu Xiaoyu pinched Mei Fang's nose.
"I'm hungry, please give me a meal."
"Yeah, let's go out for dinner-"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Liu Xiaoyu took Mei Fang's hand and pulled him into her arms.
"Hold me for a little while longer, just a little while."
"Um... OK."
Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu both enjoyed the feeling of passing warmth to each other.
However, I seem to be saying the same thing as Xinyi.
Once you immerse yourself in it, you will be at the mercy of Afang.
Normally he's as loyal as a golden retriever... but when he gets unruly, he can be a bit fierce.
Hehehe... so cute!
Liu Xiaoyu liked Mei Fang to lie in his arms and then he would ruffle his hair.
The two had dinner at a tea restaurant outside the hotel. While enjoying the sea breeze, they talked about their itinerary for the next few days.
In fact, there are not many places to visit in Pengcheng, but because it is a graduation trip with my lover, it also gives meaning to these trips.
"We'll have some fun at the beach these two days, go to Window of the World on the third day, and visit Pengcheng University on the last day, and then we can take a plane back."
Liu Xiaoyu, "Have you bought swimming trunks and beach pants? Ah Fang, if not, we can go to the supermarket later-"
"I have bought some." Mei Fang nodded gently, then stroked his chin and asked curiously: "Then, Yu'er also--"
"uh-huh… "
Liu Xiaoyu put down the chopsticks in his hand, then held his chin and said mysteriously, "Ahem, actually, I bought one, very-"
"Stop talking, stop talking! Eat, eat!"
Mei Fang ate his rice with big mouthfuls of rice with his eyes closed. Liu Xiaoyu enjoyed seeing his flustered look.
"Why are you so excited... I didn't tell you anything."
Liu Xiaoyu tilted his head and smiled, "If I had known you were so excited, I would never have forgotten to bring it here."
"Ah? You didn't bring it, did you..."
Liu Xiaoyu saw Mei Fang's dejected look and immediately couldn't bear to tease him any more. He patted his head and said:
"You just believe whatever I say... I definitely brought it!"
Liu Xiaoyu was comforting Mei Fang when suddenly bursts of thunder sounded in the sky not far away and the pedestrians on the street began to walk in a hurry.
"It looks like it's going to rain... It was sunny just now. Isn't the weather in Pengcheng too changeable?"
Liu Xiaoyu was a little unhappy.
"Then let's eat quickly. This place is still a short distance from the hotel."
After Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu finished dinner, it started to rain on the way back to the hotel. The two of them didn't bring an umbrella with them, so Mei Fang could only jog along while holding Liu Xiaoyu in her arms.
When the two returned to the hotel room in a mess, they were soaked like drowned rats.
"Hahahaha... Fang, your hairstyle is so funny now."
"Okay, okay, stop laughing and take a shower first, quickly, don't catch a cold."
Liu Xiaoyu was urged by Mei Fang to go into the bathroom. She couldn't help but turn around and tease her: "Aren't you going to take a shower with me?"
"Stop playing with fire, you!"
"whee-"
Liu Xiaoyu was shaking with laughter.
Liu Xiaoyu came out of the hotel bathroom after taking a shower and changing into a bathrobe. She saw Mei Fang sitting on the bed far away with his back to her. Seeing that he was so honest, Liu Xiaoyu felt relieved. She wiped her hair and sat down next to Mei Fang.
“It’s still raining heavily.”
"Um… "
"Then you can rest early today and get enough rest before going out to play tomorrow."
"good."
Mei Fang nodded.
"Now it's your turn, go wash up."
Liu Xiaoyu urged Mei Fang to take a shower.
Mei Fang did not change into a bathrobe like Liu Xiaoyu, but changed into his T-shirt and shorts and left the bathroom. At this time, Liu Xiaoyu was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Mei Fang coming out, Liu Xiaoyu quickly handed over the phone. Liu Xiaoyu was playing a war chess game on the phone.
"Afang, Afang, how do I get through this level? Help me get through it!"
"Well, let me see your match... You have so many archers, but no one is there to deal damage to you, okay? You have to match your troops like this..."
Mei Fang patiently explained the gameplay strategies to Liu Xiaoyu, and Liu Xiaoyu listened to Mei Fang's explanation very carefully. When they leaned against each other, they both exuded a nice shampoo smell.
The rain is still falling.
The two played games together for a while, and then watched a movie together. After the movie, Liu Xiaoyu began to rub his eyes and felt sleepy. Seeing this, Mei Fang also asked with concern:
"It's getting late, should we turn off the lights and go to bed?"
"Well, go to sleep, go to sleep."
So Mei Fang moved his body, returned to his seat, lay down, and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.
It was raining heavily.
The room was quiet for a while.
Then, Liu Xiaoyu's voice rang out.
"Afang, are you asleep?"
"No, what's wrong?"
There was a hint of grievance in Liu Xiaoyu's voice.
"I'm so worried that it will rain again tomorrow and I won't be able to go to the beach."
"No, the sky will clear up after a good night's sleep."
“What if it continues to rain?”
"If it still rains, then we can wait until the day after tomorrow..."
"We are going to Window of the World the day after tomorrow. If it still rains, then—"
Mei Fang listened to Liu Xiaoyu's complaints patiently, but when she was still complaining, she couldn't help but interrupt her:
"Sometimes, I really feel that you are so insecure."
"I, I am like this..."
Liu Xiaoyu's voice became more aggrieved. "I know, I know. I always say things that are very disappointing. I always expect too much from certain things. If those things don't happen, I will feel very sorry, especially the time I spent with Ah Fang."
“I don’t think I’ll feel any regrets…”
Mei Fang said softly, "As long as I'm with Yu'er, I'll be happy no matter what we do together."
"Ah... Please don't try to coax me like that, okay? You live such an interesting and fulfilling life every day. If you stay with a girl like me who is always worried about gains and losses for too long, you will definitely get bored."
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
Mei Fang's attitude immediately became formal. "Anyway, I've always been like this. As long as I'm with you, I never feel bored or annoyed, and I never get tired of you at all."
"Are you really not troubled at all?"
"Well... if I were to talk about worries, I do have some..."
Mei Fang was very frank with Liu Xiaoyu, "Your family is too rich, and I am still a poor boy. I am really afraid that your parents will look down on me."
Still the question...
However, it is understandable from the perspective of the Algerian side.
Moreover, this also means that Afang is seriously considering a future with me...
Liu Xiaoyu gradually forgot about his troubles and began to calm Mei Fang:
"My dad isn't a very strong person, at least not in front of me... My mom might talk more, but she just wants me to live a good life."
"Besides, we are still students and don't have the ability to support ourselves, so it's understandable that we would worry about this..."
Liu Xiaoyu thought about it, then coughed heavily a few times, and then said softly:
"Actually, I also have a way to make Ah Fang feel better."
"Ah? What's the plan... Are we going to start working on that game we put aside in our freshman year of high school?"
Mei Fang thought, "But making independent games doesn't make money, so your parents probably think it's not a proper job..."
"Listen to me, listen to me."
Liu Xiaoyu said seriously, "That's not what I'm talking about. Come over here and I'll tell you in secret."
"Ah? What you mean by coming to your side is..."
"That's right, come into my quilt."
Liu Xiaoyu's face gradually turned red. "Come here and I'll tell you."
"There are only two of us in this room, so it's okay to talk here, right?"
Mei Fang began to stammer, "I think, I think... we are still too young..."
We are already alone in a room, it's impossible for outsiders to tell what we did or didn't do!
It's already like this, why should I be so reserved...
I hate it so much!
Liu Xiaoyu only hated that her Ah Fang was too innocent.
However, this is one of the reasons why she likes him.
"Just a word."
Liu Xiaoyu's voice gradually became "aggrieved", "Besides, I'm quite afraid of thunder..."
"Is that so? If that's the case, I can't just pretend I didn't hear it—"
Mei Fang didn't want to see Liu Xiaoyu sad.
As he said this, he lifted his quilt and got out of bed, then slowly walked to Liu Xiaoyu's bed, and as she lifted the quilt, he got into her bed.
He was just lying sideways with his back to Liu Xiaoyu.
"Afang is so warm."
Liu Xiaoyu whispered something in Mei Fang's ear.
"Well, you are warm too..."
"Actually, we usually cuddle like this. Does it feel any different when we cuddle while lying down?"
"I'm worried that you'll get it." Mei Fang said.
"Then, then face me so I can put my arms around your neck."
Liu Xiaoyu said.
"good."
Mei Fang nodded, then slowly moved to face Liu Xiaoyu who had been staring at her.
The faint light from the street lamp shone through the screen, and the hazy and intoxicating atmosphere made the two of them unable to control themselves.
"So, what method are you talking about?"
Mei Fang said softly, "That's not what you mean, right?"
"What does it mean? I don't know—"
Liu Xiaoyu muttered to herself, her hands unconsciously resting on Mei Fang's waist.
"Uh-huh-"
Liu Xiaoyu made a strange but cute humming sound, and then his hands started to become unruly.
At this moment, Mei Fang also took Liu Xiaoyu's hand and hugged her tightly.
They can feel each other's heartbeat.
Mei Fang's heart was beating very fast.
Me too.
Liu Xiaoyu buried herself in Mei Fang's arms, humming and murmuring the name of her beloved.
"Afang..."
"Um?"
Liu Xiaoyu whispered, "You hugged me too tightly."
"Um."
Mei Fang's voice was very soft, "I can't bear to let you go. I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll suddenly find that this was a dream, and then I won't be able to hug you anymore."
"Ah... How could that be?"
Liu Xiaoyu's voice was very gentle: "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to hug you."
To me, this is more like a dream.
"Then just hold on tight like this."
Mei Fang said, "Actually, I am also very insecure. We are simply a match made in heaven."
"… "
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but think of the face of the girl who was entangled with him.
A feeling of powerlessness and sudden fear made it difficult for her to control herself, and she subconsciously hugged Mei Fang tightly.
"… "
"Yu'er?"
Mei Fang seemed to have noticed something, and slowly loosened her arms around Liu Xiaoyu, and patted her back gently, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this..."
"Can you guess what I'm thinking about now?"
"I'm not sure, but I think... I'm thinking about something that makes you feel uneasy or sad."
Mei Fang said, "Otherwise you wouldn't be like this."
"Afang."
Liu Xiaoyu called Mei Fang's name again.
"Um?"
"Actually... there is one thing. I have been hiding it from you for a long time. I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you... But, but, I definitely didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was just afraid that you wouldn't believe me."
"Ah... is there such a thing?"
Mei Fang pretended to be surprised and a little nervous, "But don't force yourself. It's okay if you don't want to say it."
"No, I want to say it."
Liu Xiaoyu muttered, "If I don't tell you this time, I feel like I'll never have the chance to tell you in this lifetime."
It was hard for Mei Fang to imagine what Liu Xiaoyu had been hiding from him, and he felt somewhat uneasy.
However, at this time Liu Xiaoyu was still hugging herself tightly.
Mei Fang tried to forget those unnecessary uneasy thoughts and tried to calm Liu Xiaoyu down.
"Well, then, you tell me."
"I want to hear you say that, too."
As Mei Fang asked softly, Liu Xiaoyu cleared his throat and then told Mei Fang in a choked voice:
"Actually... this is already the third time I've met you in my life."
"ah."
"ah?"
Mei Fang had imagined a hundred possibilities of Liu Xiaoyu's secret in his mind, but he never expected that what she said would be so fantasy-filled.
"Third life?"
"Yes, the third life."
Liu Xiaoyu nodded and said, "The story begins from the art festival in my freshman year of high school."
Liu Xiaoyu was afraid to hide it.
I was also afraid of spending my life with Mei Fang with a ridiculous sense of guilt.
So, regardless of whether those things would happen or not, she felt that she had an obligation to tell Mei Fang everything about herself.
Accept everything about each other calmly, so that you can move on.
Yeah, that's right...
That's it...
I.
Mei Fang listened carefully to Liu Xiaoyu's explanation of the whole story, and then responded:
"So, what you mean is that I didn't choose to be with you in my previous life. In the life before that, I was even with two girls, but not with you?"
"Well... I can't say the names of those two girls, but, that's it—"
"No, do I look that bad?"
Mei Fang was furious when he heard this. "You said I was with someone else in my previous life, that's fine, but how can I be with two girls and need your blessing?"
"Let's not talk about the threesome thing, it's just... do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Xiaoyu gestured in the rainy night and said, "It was because of me, the despicable me, that I awakened my past memories, that I suddenly caught you that night. After that, I suddenly realized that I really loved you very much. Otherwise... Otherwise-"
"Otherwise, will you never approach me in this life, or should I say, will I never approach you in this life?"
Liu Xiaoyu nodded gently, "Yes, that's right... That's what I mean."
"Indeed... That's possible."
Mei Fang said with emotion, "We were good friends at first, and I didn't realize I liked you. But that day at the art festival, I watched your gorgeous performance on the stage, and suddenly I realized what a perfect and excellent girl you are. Then, I, I probably won't have the chance to be with you in this life. I'm not worthy of you."
"And then, and then you held my hand."
"You cried and told me that you would never miss me again, right?"
"Um... yes, that's right, um..."
Liu Xiaoyu's voice was delicate. "So, now you know, I'm not a perfect girl. I'm just... I'm very despicable. I took away the fate that originally belonged to you—"
Before Liu Xiaoyu finished speaking, Mei Fang became intimate with her again.
He seemed tired of verbal soothing.
Gradually he turned into a wild beast and his behavior became outrageous.
So outrageous that Liu Xiaoyu would feel ashamed.
But she won't resist.
The girl, who thought she had committed the crime out of possessiveness, could only accept the punishment silently.
But the little beast did not continue its hunting action, but slowly let go of her.
Then, he tied her hair.
"Although what you said was very bizarre, like the plot in a novel."
"But I will believe you."
"I believe what you said is true."
"Afang..."
"But you have to understand this."
Mei Fang pinched Liu Xiaoyu's cheek and said, "No matter who I met in my last life, or the life before that, it's not important."
"Because the person in those two lives is no longer me."
"You are not the same person you were in your previous life."
"I met you, and you met me."
"Because you held my hand, it let me know that it was you I liked."
"That's enough."
Mei Fang hugged Liu Xiaoyu tightly in his arms again.
"But... don't you think I'm bad?"
"You have ruined the other marriages that originally belonged to you..."
"Yu'er."
Mei Fang gently stroked Liu Xiaoyu's cheek, "But, why can't you be sure that meeting me is our destiny in this life?"
"Even if...even if I really have the fate of meeting those two girls you mentioned, I will defeat it and win in front of you."
Mei Fang turned on the night light. Under the soft yellow light, her rosy cheeks and red almond eyes looked particularly charming.
"Before coming to Pengcheng, I actually thought about a lot of things, whether we could go on together in the future, how I could satisfy my uncle and aunt, and how I could become an excellent man in the future."
"However, compared to all this, what I should do now is more important, which is—"
"Let yourself rest assured that your future will be entrusted to my future."
Mei Fang stared at Liu Xiaoyu with burning eyes, who was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
"I'll go see my uncle and aunt, Yu'er."
"I'll go with you to meet them after this trip."
"Although I have nothing now, it is very likely that your parents will look down on me."
"But I will try my best to improve myself. I may end up being an ordinary person, but I will definitely be an upright and reliable man."
"I, I think you're very reliable now! Really."
Liu Xiaoyu was deeply moved by Mei Fang's love words.
She held Mei Fang's arm tightly and said excitedly, "So, don't put too much pressure on yourself... If my parents don't approve of you, I will... I will cut off all ties with them! Yes, that's it."
"Ah... Don't go to this extent, you fool."
"I don't care... Yes, it's my own idea."
Liu Xiaoyu said gently, "No matter how strong the wind and rain are in the future, I will hold an umbrella with you. It doesn't matter even if we have to suffer together..."
"So, it seems that you really have loved me for three lifetimes."
Mei Fang smiled at Liu Xiaoyu and said, "Then, I will definitely cherish you in this life. Yes! I will work three times harder to cherish you."
"Uh-huh… "
Liu Xiaoyu looked at the young man in front of him with joy.
However, the once peaceful atmosphere made her a little unhappy.
"Guang, Guang is just talking?"
Liu Xiaoyu turned her head away and puffed her cheeks, "I don't want to just listen to your love words, can't you love me with actual actions?"
"Ah, um... Yeah, that's what you mean, right?"
Mei Fang pinched her nose in embarrassment, "I, I have no experience... I don't know..."
"I don't have any either, it's okay... just..."
"So, should we go buy some gum—"
"You, go get it from my bag, the cat bag I usually carry with me."
Liu Xiaoyu tucked her hair in and said, "I brought it..."
"So, you already—"
"Ah, go get it! Stop talking so much."
It rained all night long.
The rain finally stopped and the sky cleared up the next morning.
When the first rays of morning light shone on Liu Xiaoyu and Mei Fang's faces, they clasped their fingers and slowly opened their eyes.
His eyes were filled with a gentle smile of incomparable happiness.
Deer are seen in deep forests.
See whales when the sea is blue.
When I woke up from the dream, the person I saw was you.
Next chapter ending preview!
I feel sorry for the loser in the rain.
She is different from Yuanyuan. I, Yuanyuan, would not be so afraid to say love out loud.
