The girl's low sobs lingered in the boy's ears.
At this moment, Mei Fang had a feeling he had never had before.
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Youxi has been experiencing loss.
Lost mother's love, lost close friends, lost companionship.
After finally meeting that light again, I was powerless to change its fate, and couldn't even become the person it depended on the most.
The scene of seeing his best friend pass away in the past may have appeared in Lin Youxi's mind again at this moment.
Unable to retreat for a long time.
I want to be the one to dispel this haze.
It’s not just for Youxi, but also for Yuanyuan.
There are things I can do.
Something you have to do with all your might...
Mei Fang tightly held Lin Youxi's hand, which was holding hers, and slowly let go of her hand.
Then he sat up on the edge of the bed.
"I want to give it a try."
In addition to the last time of interlocking fingers, Mei Fang also had the experience of pinky promises with Xia Yuan, which Lin Youxi didn't know about.
Combined with the perspective control of the mirror world, this is ironclad evidence of why Lin Youxi relies so much on Mei Fang to get things done.
He got up and found the medicine box at home, then found the antipyretic medicine and turned on the light.
Lin Youxi sat cross-legged on the bed and straightened the mirror.
In her hand, she was holding Xia Yuan's family photo, which was given to her by Yuan Yuan's grandmother. It might be the key to saving Yuan Yuan.
I want to send the antipyretic medicine to Xia Yuan.
If you want to pass through the mirror world, it is impossible to do it without previous contact with Xia Yuan.
However, at this time, Xia Yuan was still suffering from the pain of illness.
Mei Fang did not wake up Xia Yuan, but instead used his mind to control the perspective of the mirror.
The mirror was placed sideways on the bed, facing Xia Yuan's side, and very close to Xia Yuan's hand.
When the mirror itself was manipulating the perspective, it seemed to have no substance to Xia Yuan.
Mei Fang held his breath and recalled the first time he and Xia Yuan held hands tightly.
That was something Xia Yuan had tried with him before.
Once again, it's time to make a pact.
Xia Yuan wanted to touch Mei Fang, so he traveled through the mirror world.
So, that being said.
As long as you have a strong desire, your wish will come true.
But, is it just the strong desire of the person in the mirror that will do
There was no doubt that Yuanyuan wanted to touch me.
Although I didn't speak.
But I…
I also…
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan's tormented expression, and the sadness and longing in his heart were about to overflow.
He held a box of antipyretic pills and touched the back of Yuanyuan's hand through the mirror.
Lin Youxi sat next to Mei Fang, clasped his hands together and placed the photo between them.
Her meticulous logical thinking is no longer applicable in this mirror world. She can only pray and hope for a miracle to happen.
This is also what she had been doing in vain during the year when the tragedy occurred.
During the time that he had been with Yuanyuan Youxi, Mei Fang had been avoiding his own heart.
He didn't dare, nor was he willing to admit some things.
Bound by worldly moral standards.
Feeling ashamed of the “ugly” thoughts within.
I thought that as long as I stayed by her side, it would be enough.
But this is no longer possible now.
If you lose it, you have nothing.
Nothing exists anymore.
All the wonderful memories of the summer vacation so far will become a dream.
Don't want this.
If I let this happen, I...
Mei Fang touched the cold mirror surface and his palm touched the edge of the mirror.
I don't want this.
Want to pass it on.
Whether it is the pills in your hand or the desire in your heart.
Want to pass it on.
I can do it.
Yes, I can do it!
As the burning emotion in his heart grew stronger, Mei Fang could vaguely feel that the originally cold mirror surface began to gradually warm up, and the hard and smooth surface suddenly became a little soft.
Along with the sound of dripping water coming from somewhere, ripples gradually appeared on the mirror surface.
In the dim light, Mei Fang's palm, which was holding the pill, slowly sank into it!
But this time, the mirror did not produce any gravity or strong repulsive force, and Mei Fang easily put his hand into the mirror.
A faint arc of light appeared between the arm and the mirror. Although the current state looked a bit like the arm was cut off, Mei Fang did not feel it.
Well, I didn't feel it.
What he felt was the warmth on the back of Xia Yuan's hand.
Moreover, it is the hot kind.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. Lin Youxi was so excited that he didn't dare to breathe. Instead, he stared at Mei Fang's operation and asked him softly:
"Can we all go in?"
Mei Fang tried to push his hand in further, but could only reach as far as his elbow before he felt the repulsive force.
Worried that this state could not last too long, Mei Fang also started at Lin Youxi's reminder.
At this time, using your mind to control the perspective feels like playing an FPS shooting game.
However, Mei Fang did not enjoy this novelty, but was busy doing things to take care of Xia Yuan.
…
A few minutes later, Mei Fang tried to wake up Xia Yuan.
He patted the back of Xia Yuan's hand gently.
"Fate, fate..."
“Wake up!”
Xia Yuan was suffering from the unbearable heat and pain, and the slapping touch from the back of her hand made her feel like she was in a dream.
"Ah... Fang."
"A…Fang?"
Xia Yuan, who was drowsy, took the pills handed to her by Mei Fang, and then held Mei Fang's hand.
"Get up and take your medicine, Yuanyuan."
Although it was a bit inconvenient to only be able to reach in with my hands, at least I could take personal care of Xia Yuan.
I wonder if it will look scary from Yuanyuan’s perspective!
But I can't care about so much now.
He helped Xia Yuan up from the bed, carefully peeled the pills for her, then picked up the warm water from the bedside table and helped Xia Yuan take it with the antipyretic medicine.
During this period, Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's hand tightly, fearing that Mei Fang would be separated if she let go.
Just like every touch before.
But, it didn’t happen this time.
Mei Fang coaxed Xia Yuan to take the medicine, and then helped her lie down.
Then Xia Yuan took Mei Fang's hand and asked him to put his hand on her face.
"Can it stay like this forever?"
Xia Yuan was acting coquettishly with Mei Fang.
The sick and fragile Xia Yuan acted like a child of her age and acted coquettishly with Mei Fang.
"It makes me feel much better."
"Yes, sure."
Mei Fang coaxed Xia Yuan softly, "Just sleep like this."
"Will you be tired like this?"
Xia Yuan asked.
"Shut up and go to sleep."
Mei Fang's slightly tough attitude actually made Xia Yuan feel at ease.
She closed her eyes and began to rest obediently as Mei Fang said.
Xia Yuan's cheeks were soft, hot and red.
It feels a bit like being soaked in sweat.
But... sweating is a good thing.
And it must be very uncomfortable if the high fever doesn't go away.
Mei Fang kept reaching out to touch Xia Yuan. Although his hands were warm, his body was a little cold.
Until someone covered him with a blanket from behind.
Lin Youxi wrapped it for him.
"How can you sleep like this?"
"Of course I'll go along."
"Even though Yuanyuan didn't talk to me."
Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang, then crawled into the bed with Mei Fang.
"You can rest your head on my lap."
"Ah? How can I say that..."
"Just lie down if you're told to."
Lin Youxi prepared a knee pillow for Mei Fang, and pulled Mei Fang into her arms somewhat forcefully, and slowly leaned against Lin Youxi's legs.
By adjusting the perspective, Mei Fang's holding of Xia Yuan was not affected.
…
This scene.
It's so embarrassing just imagining it.
uh-huh…
Mei Fang didn't dare to move.
But he knew that Lin Youxi was using this method to thank him for the help he had brought to Yuanyuan.
Although I know this is the case.
Oh, it's so embarrassing.
Youxi's legs have a perfect softness, but they are not fleshy at all, but rather feel tight...
But why am I commenting on this
Mei Fang's heavy eyelids gradually could no longer support his confused thoughts.
When daybreak came, one of Mei Fang's hands was still stretched out in the mirror, but she was already hugging Youxi.
…
Xiang Xiaoxia naturally got up earlier than Mei Fang and the others. When she saw that her son was not in the living room, she naturally realized what had happened. When Mei Lijun got up and yelled at his wife, he was immediately counterattacked by Xiang Xiaoxia.
Mom was so sensible that she didn't even open the door.
This is out of trust and tacit understanding with his son.
After all, he is the child that you raised, so he definitely knows the limits.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi suddenly stood up at Xia Yuan's exclamation. Lin Youxi's head hit Mei Fang's chin, but the two ignored the pain and looked into the mirror at the first moment.
Although Xia Yuan's face was still red, his complexion obviously looked much better.
There was a lovely red mark on her face, which was caused by Mei Fang covering it up all night.
"Has the fever gone away, Yuanyuan?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt anyway."
Xia Yuan nodded, and then his eyes kept wandering to the disheveled Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.
However, the two of them obviously had not yet realized the ambiguity between each other, and kept asking Xia Yuan if he had any other questions.
"No, no, no! I, I'm fine."
Xia Yuan groaned, "You guys, it's already daybreak over there, aren't you afraid of Auntie—"
“Oops, oops!”
After Mei Fang was awakened by Xia Yuan's words, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. He stammered a few words with Lin Youxi and quickly rolled back to the sofa and fell asleep.
Fortunately, my mother didn’t get up.
Never mind... She must be up.
Just pretend nothing happened.
Lin Youxi tidied up briefly in Mei Fang's room and came out to have breakfast with Mei Fang's family. Xiang Xiaoxia packed up the washed and hung clothes and gave them to Lin Youxi, and asked Mei Fang to take Lin Youxi home. However, Lin Youxi asked him to go back as soon as he walked her out the door.
"Go and accompany Yuanyuan."
Lin Youxi said, "She has just recovered from her illness and needs your company even more."
“Ah… Ah… Yeah, okay.”
Mei Fang was nodding her head when Lin Youxi suddenly walked up to her and got very close to her.
Then, she suddenly reached out and pulled a hair from Mei Fang's arms.
Those were her own hair.
"I wanted to remind you when we were having dinner just now." Lin Youxi said, "I think Aunt Xiang saw it."
"ah!"
"Figure out how to explain it to Aunt Xiang. I don't care."
Lin Youxi said, "I'll come back in the afternoon."
Mei Fang returned home anxiously, and was indeed dragged away by Xiang Xiaoxia and talked to.
However, although she was happy to see Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's relationship getting closer, she also questioned Mei Fang whether he bullied Lin Youxi and did something too precocious.
"We're really just lying together?"
"I really just lay there." Mei Fang swore to the heavens, "If I lie to you, I won't be named Mei anymore!"
Meilijun: “Ah?”
"Okay, then you don't have to kneel on the wire brush."
Xiang Xiaoxia let Mei Fang go.
In this way, Mei Fang escaped from prison and returned to Xia Yuan.
…
After returning to the bedroom, Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan staring at the mirror, looking forward to Mei Fang's return.
"Afang!"
Xia Yuan shouted Mei Fang's name, and Mei Fang was so scared that he quickly stepped forward and covered Xia Yuan's mouth.
Hmm—
Just cover it up easily
Xia Yuan, whose mouth was covered by Mei Fang, also felt confused.
Mei Fang gradually realized that since the prayer last night, the mirror seemed to have completed some kind of system upgrade. Mei Fang could now easily pass through the mirror and touch Xia Yuan.
However, the degree of touching is still limited, and seems to be calculated according to certain body proportions.
Mei Fang can stretch his hands and legs in, and even his head a little bit.
But if he wanted to explore further, or go deeper, resistance would arise and Mei Fang would be unable to continue.
Of course, just this made Xia Yuan very happy.
She was finally no longer alone and trapped in the mirror forever.
After trying the mirror boundary with Mei Fang, she kept asking Mei Fang to stretch out her hand so that she could hold it.
Fingers intertwined.
"Fang's hands are so big!"
Xia Yuan sighed with a smile.
"Okay, okay, didn't you shake hands with me before?"
"I've never pinched you like this before, before."
Xia Yuan squeezed Mei Fang's hand and said, "I'm going to draw a turtle on your hand and see if it's the reverse side after we get out."
"He is indeed an elementary school student!" Mei Fang complained.
"It's not small! Well, now you can try it-"
"ah!"
"Afang!"
Xia Yuan happily called out Mei Fang's name.
"What's wrong… "
"I, you don't have to keep our previous agreement a secret."
Xia Yuan said, "I told Youxi my true feelings and apologized to her."
“I felt much better after I said it.”
"I may not be able to deceive Youxi."
"I just... like her so much."
"I can see that."
Mei Fang said.
"Afang!"
Xia Yuan called Mei Fang's name again.
"What happened this time?"
Xia Yuan's face was filled with smiles.
"I said, I told Youxi one more thing. Do you want to know?"
Xia Yuan smiled, "Tell me, if you want to know, I'll tell you."
"Um… "
Mei Fang paused, then said softly, "Well, I want to know."
"You agreed so readily!"
Xia Yuan was shocked, "Do you know everything?"
"I don't know what it is you say I know."
"Then tell me first what Youxi let you know!"
"I'm not sure if what Youxi told me was what you told Youxi."
"Ah, I don't want to guess riddles with Fang anymore!"
Xia Yuan refused to continue beating around the bush with Mei Fang, "Put your ear close to me and I'll whisper to you."
"… "
This time, Mei Fang obediently leaned his ear over and pressed it against the mirror.
"Put it in a little more."
"Then my head won't look weird?"
"No, come in."
Xia Yuan let Mei Fang come a little closer.
Then, slowly approached Mei Fang.
Instead of whispering in his ear, she leaned forward to touch Mei Fang's cheek.
With a "pop" sound.
Xia Yuan kissed Mei Fang on the face.
The sudden intimacy made Mei Fang crawl out of the mirror.
Xia Yuan's face was filled with the pink blush of a young girl.
Although I was very shy, I did it anyway.
“I won’t tie the knot this time.”
"I like you, Ah Fang."
Xia Yuan said, gesturing with her fingers, "It's not the kind of love a little kid has for an older brother, it's the kind of love a girl has for a boy."
…
Mei Fang was silent for a long time before he slowly came to his senses.
Wait a moment.
So I am, this is...
Have you been confessed to
Mei Fang hesitated and wanted to speak, giving a response to Xia Yuan.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the image of Lin Youxi pinching away her hair with a sweet smile on her face suddenly and inappropriately appeared in Mei Fang's mind.
ah.
I'm really damn...
What am I thinking about...
Mei Fang was tormented by confused thoughts.
I had just made up my mind last night, why did I change my mind now
"But, don't be nervous, Fang. I just want to tell you this, not to ask for your response."
"Do I look nervous?" Mei Fang frowned.
"Still being stubborn."
Xia Yuan smiled at Mei Fang, "By the way, Ah Fang has already helped me so much, can you do me another favor?"
"Well, what's the favor?"
“I want to find my true desire.”
Xia Yuan said, "Then maybe I can become a Buddha."
Become a Buddha
Mei Fang's brain suddenly seemed to freeze, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"You, you heard what Youxi said about grandma, right?"
Mei Fang hesitated and said, "If my wish is fulfilled, it doesn't necessarily mean I will become a Buddha. It could also mean I can save you from the mirror..."
"Afang, Afang."
Xia Yuan interrupted Mei Fang and looked at him seriously.
“Whether it’s coming out or becoming a Buddha, I want to fulfill my wish.”
"Then, I hope you can keep this matter a secret from Youxi, okay?"
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang expectantly.
But this time, Mei Fang, who had always given Xia Yuan high hopes, shook his head firmly.
"This... I can't promise you."
"Because if I don't tell Youxi about this, she will definitely be very disappointed and sad. She..."
"I know, Alfon."
Xia Yuan nodded, "I know Youxi will never help me realize my wish."
"She already told me that last night and she didn't want me to take any more risks."
"That's why I'm asking you for help."
"I can only ask you to help me keep it a secret from Youxi and work with me to accomplish this."
"Because I know more than just this one thing."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Ah Fang, I'm not stupid."
"I know everything."
"Yeah... I know everything."
"Of course, including the fact that I'm dead—"
"I know all that too."
When Mei Fang looked up at Xia Yuan, she still had a happy expression on her face.
Filled with a bright smile.
He spoke as if it was not his own business.
…
Mei Fang realized instantly that any further cover-up would be futile.
After all, how could Xia Yuan not know his own situation
Although she was only in elementary school at that time, she was old enough to be sensible.
Even if I knew this...
Mei Fang was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
"I won't tell Youxi about this."
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to Mei Fang, "Keep making pinky promises, Ah Fang."
"continue!"
"We'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years—"
Xia Yuan tried to invite Mei Fang, but the expression on Mei Fang's face when he raised his head made it hard for Xia Yuan to accept.
She patted the back of her head and smiled, "Hey, Fang, don't be like this."
"Don't look so sad..."
"You're doing this—"
Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "You're making me want to cry, okay?"
Xia Yuan sniffed and said seriously:
"I can't cry anymore."
"Only children cry all the time."
"A 16-year-old high school student doesn't cry all the time."
"Anyway, this is my own wish, and I've actually been thinking about it for a long time."
"Although Youxi said that she would stay with me forever even if I couldn't find a solution."
"But I hope she can move on."
"You can't keep wasting time on me."
"You too, Ah Fang..."
“I want you to move on.”
Although Yuanyuan is only a 10-year-old girl mentally, her heart is rich and strong enough, so strong that even Mei Fang feels ashamed of himself.
Although he had many questions he wanted to ask Yuanyuan, he was ultimately healed by her smile when the words came to his lips.
"You are so young and you are giving people so many great truths. You will be in trouble in the future."
Mei Fang reached into the mirror, gently pinched Xia Yuan's face, and then patted her head.
"We are destined to be together. We are really like angels."
"Why did I lose you in kindergarten..."
"You only like to play Transformers with other kids!"
Xia Yuan seemed to be still brooding over this matter. She angrily said, "When you wet the bed, I comforted you, but you scolded me for meddling in other people's business and refused to play with me afterwards. You know, I have been holding a grudge against you for this matter. I don't know why I forgot about it later and only remembered it when I saw you."
"Then I should really slap myself."
Mei Fang gently stroked Xia Yuan's cheek, then pinched it lightly.
"So, will you agree to it, Ah Fang?"
"If you don't agree to me, I'll have to keep begging you."
"Okay, I promise you."
Mei Fang nodded and said, "I will help you keep it a secret from Youxi and work with you to find a solution."
"Let's find your wish together."
"Well, that's good, Ah Fang..."
"But, but..."
Mei Fang suddenly pinched Xia Yuan's cheek tightly, and then said softly:
"If there is a way for you to really come out of the mirror, I hope... you won't refuse."
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Yuan nodded, "If there is!"
When Lin Youxi came to Mei Fang's house in the afternoon, Xia Yuan had fully recovered.
Now she can also have casual physical contact with Mei Fang and does not feel as lonely as before.
Plus, she had already told Lin Youxi about her love for Mei Fang last night, so Lin Youxi didn't take it too seriously.
The days continue to move forward.
After returning from Yuanyuan's grandmother's house, Lin Youxi's obsession with saving Xia Yuan has faded a lot.
She was no longer obsessed with getting Xia Yuan to come out of the mirror, but was more focused on enjoying the time with Xia Yuan.
Because I can see Xia Yuan every day.
It's actually still possible after returning to school, but I just can't do it as frequently as during the summer vacation.
She also likes Mei Fang's family, especially Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia.
She has always been giving her motherly care and warmth.
Of course, the most important thing is fate.
The company of fate.
To her, he has always been an irreplaceable and supreme existence.
Even though she was placed below Mei Fang, she no longer felt sad.
Because Mei Fang herself has unknowingly become an indispensable existence in her heart.
Although it is still a little worse than Yuanyuan, but, but...
Lin Youxi was looking at the back of Mei Fang's head.
I always couldn't help but pinch him.
"Hey shit, what are you doing?"
"I just want to pinch you."
"I want to pinch it too, Ah Fang, let me pinch it!"
As if they were playing a joke together, Lin Youxi pushed Mei Fang into the mirror, and Mei Fang's head was able to fit in quite a bit.
Xia Yuan finally drew a turtle watch on Mei Fang's hand.
When being taught junior high and high school knowledge by Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan would take the initiative to put forward the idea that he was a 10-year-old elementary school student, but was rejected.
However, while the three of them were enjoying the leisurely summer time.
Mei Fang and Xia Yuan's secret plan is also quietly proceeding.
Mei Lijun has been feeling that his son is acting a little abnormal lately.
I always stay in my bedroom no matter what I do.
Not to mention the girl's voice coming from the bedroom.
He also found that his son had bought a very cute dress.
When he mentioned this to his wife Xiang Xiaoxia, Xiang Xiaoxia always looked indifferent.
"It must be for Youxi. Don't you think about it?"
"But Youxi would never wear such colorful clothes!"
"I just don't wear it in front of the elders... Don't be so nosy."
"I'm not gossiping. I'm just worried that our son might have a cross-dressing fetish or something—"
"You are really against the will of heaven."
Xiang Xiaoxia made a series of sharp comments on Mei Lijun.
—
[Dresses I didn’t dare buy in the past]
[Play computer games together]
[Let mom and dad stop quarreling]
[Dad, play with me more]
[Let Youxi be happy]
Many of the wishes that Xia Yuan listed were related to his parents, but his parents had passed away, which meant that these goals could not be achieved.
In summary, [Let Youxi be happy] is the plan that is closest to the goal after Xia Yuan and Mei Fang discussed it.
However, this concept was somewhat abstract and vague, and Mei Fang kept discussing with Xia Yuan what this wish meant.
"Don't you have any special ideas in mind?"
"Well... to be specific, I would like Youxi to have a mother, a real mother, not a little mother like me—"
Xia Yuan said.
"So what you mean is, let Youxi's father marry another wife? That seems a bit difficult."
"I think it's appropriate to say that I'm just a mom!"
"Then how did my mother become Youxi's mother? Do you want my dad and my mom to divorce?!"
"There's an even simpler way!"
Xia Yuan gave each other a thumbs up, then showed an expectant and yearning expression:
"I think that if you and Youxi were dating, then Xiang's mother would become Youxi's mother..."
"ah?"
I feel like I'm about to die suddenly. There are probably only two chapters left!
(End of this chapter)
