"Can you hear me?"
"Hmm... can't you hear it?"
Mei Fang tried to speak as quietly as possible. After all, there were other people at home. If someone thought she was talking to herself or was crazy, it would be very troublesome.
Xia Yuan was extremely happy to be able to talk to Mei Fang. He felt relieved and relieved, and he kept patting his chest:
"That's great, that's great. I was wondering what I would do if I kept writing like this and ran out of paper and pen!"
Her voice was sweet and pure, even more beautiful than Mei Fang had imagined.
It's almost like she can debut as an idol directly.
However, after hearing her talk about wasting paper and pens, Mei Fang couldn't help but ask more:
"Come to think of it, do you get hungry over there?"
"Yes, so I am making food..."
Xia Yuan showed Mei Fang her dinner. "Look, these quick-frozen dumplings I made. Don't they look delicious?"
"They're just ordinary frozen dumplings," Mei Fang complained.
"Huh... I'm only in the fourth grade of elementary school. It's already amazing that I can cook, okay!"
Xia Yuan pouted angrily and put her hands on her hips. Both her body movements and her appearance looked very childish.
But her body has completely become that of a high school girl.
After all, she is still an elementary school student...
"Do you know how to turn the fire on and off? Be careful not to get burned."
"No, I can do it myself. Today I also learned to wash my own clothes, so I can wear my mom's clothes. There are still a lot of food in the refrigerator, which will last for a while, but... but..."
Xia Yuan had been talking to Mei Fang happily, but as they were talking he began to rub his eyes and his voice became choked.
"I live here alone, it's so lonely..."
Before, Mei Fang had always been surprised at how Xia Yuan managed to persist in that world alone. He only had the mentality of a fourth-grade elementary school student, but he was so optimistic and strong.
Now it seems that she is just trying hard to pretend to be strong.
However, it has already...
"Don't cry, I understand you're feeling bad..."
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan crying in the mirror and thought about her experience in reality. He was not afraid at all because she was a ghost. Instead, he was full of sympathy and heartache for her experience.
"You're already... you're already amazing! If it were me, living alone in a place like this, I would have collapsed a long time ago."
Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes while listening to Mei Fang's encouragement, patted her cheeks, and then nodded with tears in her eyes, "Well, I also, I also know that I am a very remarkable child."
"So, don't be too sad. There will always be a way in the future... I, I will work with you to find a solution."
Mei Fang said to Xia Yuan in the mirror, "You, you should eat first. Only if you eat more will you have the energy to think of a solution."
"good."
At Mei Fang's urging, Xia Yuan started eating dumplings.
"Mei Fang, I don't seem to have a talent for cooking." Xia Yuan ate dumplings and felt wronged, "The dumplings taste so salty..."
"That's because your tears got mixed in. Don't think too much about it."
"It seems, it seems to be true..."
Xia Yuan finished eating the dumplings, put the chopsticks in the bowl, and said to Mei Fang, "I'm full, I'm going to wash the dishes... Do you want to watch me wash the dishes?"
"Okay, I'll do it myself."
Mei Fang controlled the movement of the mirror with his mind, and his view followed Xia Yuan to the sink. Xia Yuan put some detergent in the bowl and began to rub and wash the dishes.
"By the way, do you feel a little scared when I stare at you like this?"
"No, I am a person who is very afraid of loneliness."
Xia Yuan said while washing dishes, "Look, I moved the mirror to the dining table, just in case I didn't see you when you came back..."
It is really amazing that a child who is so afraid of loneliness is now living alone in such a lonely mirror world and he has not suffered a mental breakdown.
…
But, if I were to tell her those things.
Xia Yuan finished washing the dishes and then washed her hands. While washing, she looked up at Mei Fang and happened to meet Mei Fang's dazed eyes.
"By the way, Mei Fang... did you hear anything about me and my parents over there in the mirror?"
"Ah, this..."
"It's okay. You must be busy at school. I can ask you when you have time. I'm not in a hurry—"
"I'm going, I'm going."
Mei Fang quickly responded to Xia Yuan's words, "But no one lives in your house now. I asked the residents around here and they said you seem to have moved away and haven't been back for many years."
In the end, I still lied.
Or I lied to a fourth grader.
But there is no reason not to lie.
How painful would it be for her to know that she was a ghost, especially to let her know that her death was caused by her parents
Mei Fang couldn't bear to do such a thing to such a lovely child.
“Like this.”
Xia Yuan was stunned for a while after hearing the news, then patted his cheek and smiled at Mei Fang, "Well, I hope they live happily."
"Um… "
Mei Fang was unable to make a clearer statement in response to Xia Yuan's statement.
It sounded like she felt that she was just a person in the mirror. Xia Yuan in reality was still living happily, but the herself in the mirror was alone.
The one who was abandoned.
Only Mei Fang can talk to her.
Just as Mei Fang was thinking this, Xia Yuan brought up a new topic:
"By the way, Mei Fang, there is actually someone I care about very much. Could you help me find out some news about her? I really want to know how she is doing now."
"Is this the very good friend you mentioned before?"
Mei Fang had some impression of what Xia Yuan said, "That's fine, we are in the same class, as long as she is still studying in Baimei County, I should be able to find out where she is—"
"That's great. Let me tell you, her name is Lin Youxi."
"Lin youxi?"
"Yes, Lin Youxi, I'll write it for you."
After confirming that the name matched that of the genius student, Mei Fang's expression became extremely shocked, "It's really her?"
"You, you, you know her?"
"I don't think I know her... She has very good grades in our school and has always been the top student in the grade. I know her, but she definitely doesn't know me."
"No, no... She must know you. The three of us went to kindergarten together. You really don't remember anything about the past."
"Who remembers kindergarten so clearly? I'm a high school student now."
"Youxi is also a high school student now... Yes, it has been six years."
Xia Yuan thought about it, then asked with great interest, "What is Youxi like now? Can you tell me?"
"Very beautiful, but also very cold..."
"Cold?"
"It's just... She always looks cold, and no one around her talks to her. But she and I are not in the same class, so I'm just telling you what I saw."
"Ah... Didn't you make any new friends? You'll be alone again after I left... What should I do..."
After hearing Mei Fang's statement, Xia Yuan immediately began to pace around the table anxiously. Mei Fang was about to say a few words to comfort her when suddenly the door clicked open.
Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia pushed the door open and looked at Mei Fang, who was looking at the mirror in embarrassment, with a look of surprise on her face. "Who are you talking to, Ah Fang?"
"Huh? I'm not talking to anyone. I'm learning English!"
Mei Fang's ears turned red as she explained.
Mother Xiang Xiaoxia glanced at the full-length mirror next to Mei Fang. To her, the mirror did look like an ordinary mirror.
"Strange, why did I hear you chatting with a girl just now..."
"No, no! You must have heard it wrong! I want to learn English, mom, don't disturb me."
Mei Fang pushed Xiang Xiaoxia out of the room as she spoke.
After Xiang Xiaoxia wandered around with her head down for a while, she suddenly seemed to realize something. She took out a pack of tissues from the bathroom, knocked on the door, and placed it on Mei Fang's desk.
ah…
This is hard to explain.
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang in the mirror, who was dealing with her mother in embarrassment, and immediately asked curiously, "What does your mother mean by giving you tissues, Fang?"
"That doesn't mean anything, don't think too much about it..."
Mei Fang waved his hands and complained for a while, then seemed to realize something:
"Afang?"
"I just heard your mother calling you like that, and I thought it sounded pretty nice."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "We are good friends now, I can call you Ah Fang."
"no."
Mei Fang shook his head. "You are a 10-year-old kid. You should call me Brother Mei Fang, or just call me Brother."
"I'm not a kid, we're the same age!"
Xia Yuan said angrily, "Look at my body now, isn't it completely different from that of an elementary school student?"
Xia Yuan said this while sticking out her chest, which made Mei Fang dare not look directly at her. She simply avoided her gaze and muttered, "Well... I know, I know. Just call me Ah Fang. I'll let you call me that."
"Hey hey... OK, Fang."
Xia Yuan realized that Mei Fang seemed to be very afraid of this, and suddenly thought that he seemed to have him under control.
"By the way, Ah Fang, when I saw Auntie coming in just now..."
Xia Yuan leaned towards the mirror and whispered, "I can hear Auntie's voice and see Auntie, but Auntie can't seem to see me, but can hear my voice?"
"It should be possible."
Mei Fang paused, then said, "Why, do you have any ideas?"
"yes."
Xia Yuan nodded, "Can you please invite Youxi to your home? I haven't seen her for a long time, I want to see her."
"Even if she can't see me, she can still hear my voice, so we should be able to talk."
Xia Yuan said seriously, "Besides, even if you can't hear my voice, you can still relay my words for me. Can I ask you for that?"
…
Beads of sweat appeared on Mei Fang's forehead.
"In theory, it is possible..."
"What is 'theory'?" Xia Yuan tilted his head in confusion.
"that is… "
Mei Fang paused and said, "I just said that I don't know Lin Youxi at all. If you suddenly ask me to go up and say hello to her, she won't even pay attention to me."
Mei Fang waved her hand and said, "Not to mention inviting her to my house as a guest and telling her about your affairs."
If Lin Youxi meets Xia Yuan, Mei Fang’s lies will be exposed.
And she wouldn't believe her own fantasy...
"That's true. Youxi in our family has never liked to talk to people since she was a child."
Xia Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Then I think this is how it should be. I'll tell you some secrets that only she and I know, and she will definitely believe that I'm really back."
That's not the question. No, Lin Youxi and I are not familiar with each other at all.
Mei Fang originally wanted to say this.
But when Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan closing his eyes and frowning as he thought seriously, he suddenly felt a little reluctant.
She would definitely be very happy to see her former best friend.
And according to Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi has only had her as a friend, and she seems quite lonely at school now. Perhaps she has not been able to get out of the shadow of her best friend's departure, so she has closed her heart and locked away her love.
Of course, these are just speculations at the moment and do not constitute substantive evidence.
Xia Yuan told Mei Fang the secret that she and Lin Youxi knew.
"Nothing else?"
"This is the best."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Youxi and I are the only ones who know about this, and I swore to her that I would never tell anyone else in my life."
"But now you tell me!"
“Isn’t this a special case?”
"I can't speak." Mei Fang shook his head.
"Come on!" Xia Yuan encouraged Mei Fang, "Please bring Youxi home to see me!"
…
The morning continued as usual.
Mei Fang woke up early and was facing Xia Yuan's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face in the standing mirror.
Mei Fang blushed immediately.
It was almost like sleeping with her.
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang talked about Lin Youxi all night long. Before going to bed, Xia Yuan said that he was afraid of being lonely and wanted to put a mirror on the bed, so it became like this.
In addition, Mei Fang was also forced by Xia Yuan to change his name:
"Fate, fate..."
He called Xia Yuan's name softly, and then tried to knock on the mirror to wake Xia Yuan from her sleep.
"Morning...Morning, Ah Fang."
Xia Yuan yawned, then turned over and went back to sleep.
I have to say, the mentality is really good.
"I'm going to school, I'll tell you."
Didn’t you say that you were afraid of being lonely and not seeing me when you woke up, so you asked me to wake you up
Turns out it wasn't scary at all.
After all, she was just a child, so Mei Fang didn't bother with her.
"I'll leave Youxi's matter to you... Ah Fang."
She still remembers this incident.
Mei Fang didn't think much about it. He quickly got up, washed, and began to get ready to go to school.
Mei Fang couldn't concentrate on studying recently, as his mind was full of Xia Yuan.
This is also unavoidable...
The sixteen-year-old boy encountered a strange adventure and always thought that he was the chosen one of destiny. It was a very common orthodox plot.
But at the moment, there seems to be no time travel development, only a ghost trapped in the mirror.
Although she is a sweet ghost sister that everyone loves.
The sweet ghost sister gave herself an epic five-star mission to bring Lin Youxi, the legendary goddess of Baimei No. 1 Middle School, back to her home.
Even if he just talked to Lin Youxi, Mei Fang would feel that it was a very difficult five-star task.
So this mission should be rated 10 stars
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
I have to find a way to talk to her first.
Although Xia Yuan gave him an important secret, that secret was not something that could be told in any occasion. He had to find an opportunity to talk to her in private.
So, the first thing to complete is how to strike up a conversation...
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's classes were on the same floor. Mei Fang's classroom was very close to the restroom, so as long as she stood in the corridor during breaks, she would have a chance to run into Lin Youxi who was going to the restroom.
It certainly wouldn't do to accost her before she went to the bathroom.
So, wait until she's done using the restroom, then talk to her -
That’s it!
Mei Fang spent the entire morning between classes squatting on Lin Youxi, and even ignored Zhang Ming when he tried to talk to him about Dota.
Wait, wait...
Lin Youxi never passed by him at all.
What's going on
Didn't this woman have to go to the bathroom all morning
That’s awesome.
Mei Fang woke up from a nap in the afternoon. When he was rubbing his face in a daze, he happened to see a girl with flowing black hair passing by his window. However, she was not heading towards the bathroom, but seemed to have finished her class and was going to the classroom.
Damn, it’s Lin Youxi!
Mei Fang once again missed the opportunity to chat with Lin Youxi.
Seeing Mei Fang gritting her teeth, her deskmate Zhang Ming was quite shocked.
"Hey, Mei Fang, you're not interested in Lin Youxi, are you?"
"Do you think I'm such a tactless person?"
"Come to think of it..." Zhang Ming sighed as he turned the book over, "How could a school beauty like her be interested in us? A while ago, I heard that Li Jun from our class took the initiative to hand a love letter to Lin Youxi and asked her to come out to pick it up, but she ignored him."
"So it's not okay to go directly to her classroom to find her, right?"
"Not... Mei Fang?"
Zhang Ming seemed to be meeting his best friend for the first time, "What are you thinking about? Do you really want to give Lin Youxi a love letter?"
"I did have something to ask her, but it was something else."
"Then why don't you ask Yue Xinyi for help?"
"Yue Xinyi?"
Mei Fang looked at the petite loli who was chatting and laughing with other girls not far away, "Who do you think is our Chinese class representative?"
"Yes, she and Lin Youxi were classmates in elementary school and even sat at the same table in junior high school. I often heard her bragging in front of everyone, as if she was very proud of it."
Zhang Ming put down the book he was reading and said, "Just find Yue Xinyi. She will definitely help you contact Lin Youxi!"
Mei Fang obviously didn't have the courage to talk to Lin Youxi directly.
But I did have the courage to talk to the girls in my class, and it was very bold.
Mei Fang directly asked Yue Xinyi if she could call Lin Youxi out, as she had something to discuss with her.
"Damn it, who on earth spread the news that I knew Lin Youxi..."
Yue Xinyi held her forehead helplessly, "You guys, can you please be a little more discerning? Does Lin Youxi look like a girl who would like you?"
"I'm not looking for her to give her a love letter. I really have something to ask her."
"You have no relationship with her, what can you ask her for?" Yue Xinyi frowned and said, "You can't ask her to teach you how to study, right?"
"Of course not..." Mei Fang scratched his head, "I was asking her about another girl."
"Mei Fang."
Yue Xinyi put her hands on her hips, looked at the boy in front of her helplessly and said, "You usually look like a very honest child, but I didn't expect you to have so many tricks... Find a topic to strike up a conversation with her so that she can let down her guard, right?"
“But that can’t be done.”
Yue Xinyi shook her index finger, making a clicking sound, looking very confident.
"Because Lin Youxi's heart is always open to only one person."
"And that person is no longer in this world."
It seems that she knows about Xia Yuan.
However, since I was Lin Youxi's elementary and middle school classmate, it's normal for me to know these things...
He heard Xia Yuan talk a lot about Lin Youxi last night.
Her mother died very early, and her father was very busy at work, and he had to work hard just to make ends meet.
Therefore, Lin Youxi has been a "wild child" who is not loved or cared for since childhood.
When she was in kindergarten, she always had a runny nose and was dirty. No one would tie her hair, and she couldn’t even tie her shoelaces.
Except Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan has been playing with Lin Youxi since kindergarten.
Correct her bad habit of sucking her nose, help her wipe her nose, teach her how to tie her shoelaces, play house with her, and share all the delicious food, drinks, fun and beautiful things with Lin Youxi.
It can be said that it is the existence of another "mother".
Although they were not in the same class in elementary school, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had always had a good relationship. After class, Lin Youxi would only go to the audio-visual education class to play with Xia Yuan, and on weekends, Xia Yuan would take Lin Youxi out to play.
It can be said that the only ray of light shining in Lin Youxi's heart suddenly turned dark after that lonely evening.
At this time, Xia Yuan didn't know the circumstances of his death, but in fact some of the words could be inferred.
However, given her stupid appearance, it would probably be difficult for her to understand the fact that she is no longer alive.
"So... after I've told you so much, can you back off now?"
Faced with Yue Xinyi's arrogant attitude, Mei Fang immediately came up with the idea of fighting back.
"I understand. Lin Youxi doesn't care about you at all."
"Um?"
"You said it yourself, her heart is only open to one person. You can't tell me that her heart is all about you, right?"
"That, that's definitely not me..."
"See, I know it."
Mei Fang made a clicking sound, and Yue Xinyi's expression gradually turned red.
She's drunk.
"Mei Fang, listen to me. Although I'm not the person in Lin Youxi's heart, I can definitely still strike up a conversation with her. I'm not like a loser like you who can only ask me for help. But what's the point of striking up a conversation? She may not necessarily see you."
"Just tell me my name and I'll give you a novel of your choice."
Mei Fang's last sentence obviously aroused Yue Xinyi's great interest. "Okay, okay, I already knew that you, Mei Fang, have a promising future. The cool school beauty will fall in love with you sooner or later! Do you want me to say a few more good words for you?"
"That's not necessary."
Mei Fang thought about it, and then said to Yue Xinyi, "Just give her four more words."
"Oh, you even wrote four characters, quite artistic, you... so, what are the four characters?"
"Water drinking contest."
"Water drinking competition? The one who drinks water drinks water, and then competes?"
"Um."
Mei Fang nodded and said, "Please ask her to come to the bamboo forest behind the Grade 1 teaching building to meet me after the general cleaning is finished."
Today is the last day of summer tutoring. The school arranged a general cleaning and everyone went home after the cleaning.
So, if Mei Fang cannot make an appointment with Lin Youxi today, she will have to wait a month until school starts in September.
That was too long of a wait.
There are all kinds of inconveniences when studying, and many things would be better off being ended during this summer vacation.
Because Mei Fang didn't know how long Xia Yuan could exist.
Will she disappear
Mei Fang was unsure.
Generally speaking, ghosts continue to exist because they have unfulfilled wishes, just like the plot of "That Flower".
Will Xia Yuan fulfill his wish and become a Buddha after meeting Lin Youxi
Mei Fang didn't know.
As he thought of this, Mei Fang's mind began to constantly emerge with the image of Xia Yuan trying hard to live in the mirror world.
no…
She can only live in the mirror, and she is just a child.
What am I thinking about.
What a dog I am!
Mei Fang slapped himself.
As they clapped their hands, a girl's figure slowly emerged from the bamboo forest.
Lin Youxi, with her long straight black legs, has a very perfect figure, and can be described as a killer from behind; but if you look closer, you will see that her thin face is pale and sickly, and her eyes are indifferent without a trace of brilliance and warmth.
The cold gaze was enough to drive away any carbon-based creature that wanted to get close to her.
But now, she was summoned by Mei Fang because of four words.
I came to see Mei Fang specifically for those four words.
…
!!!
Lin Youxi, really came!
However, during her first face-to-face encounter with Lin Youxi, she only saw Mei Fang slapping herself in the face.
Mei Fang slapped himself in the face out of embarrassment.
"There are so many mosquitoes here."
"… "
Lin Youxi walked closer to Mei Fang.
At this time, Mei Fang was sitting and Lin Youxi was standing.
The academic genius Lin Youxi.
She was looking down at Mei Fang with a condescending gaze.
After a moment of silence, she spoke softly.
"What does a water drinking contest mean?"
"Well, before you listen to me, I hope you can be mentally prepared. I know what I'm about to say is outrageous, but—"
"Let's talk about the water drinking competition first."
Lin Youxi interrupted Mei Fang rudely, "What does the drinking competition mean?"
"It's... literally, cough, cough."
Lin Youxi's aggressive aura made Mei Fang a little nervous. He tried to calm his mind and reorganize his words.
"She told me that this was a secret agreed upon between you and her. As long as I told you this, you would believe that she was back."
Apparently, this was indeed a secret jointly maintained by Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan. As Lin Youxi listened to Mei Fang's statement, his eyes gradually became more intense.
Then, for the first time, Mei Fang heard a choked and trembling voice from the aloof and autistic god of learning, which sounded like a request:
"Can I... go see her?"
Lin Youxi did not feel incredible, shocked, or even curse at Mei Fang's lies as Mei Fang had imagined.
Instead, he asked in a very soft voice if he could see her.
As if worried that Mei Fang didn't hear it, after all, Mei Fang didn't give any response, Lin Youxi repeated what he had just said word by word.
"Can I... go see her, can I...?"
"Sure, she just wants me to take you to see her."
Mei Fang touched his nose and said, "But before you meet her, I hope you can agree to a few conditions for me—"
"I promise you everything."
Lin Youxi interrupted Mei Fang directly, "Let's talk while we walk. Take me to see her first."
"I really... miss her."
There was a faint smile on her face that perhaps no one had ever seen before.
