Not long after Lin Youxi and Mei Fang's family finished their dinner, Xia Yuan suddenly came to visit Mei Fang's family.
Of course, she mainly came to visit Lin Youxi.
"Youxi... I heard everything from Ah Fang on the phone. Are you okay?"
"It's fine."
Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi and whispered, "If you don't like that aunt, you have to be brave and tell your father. I've seen many stepmothers on TV treat their stepdaughters very badly, or bring family members to divide the family property..."
"My family doesn't have much money... Aunt Liang, my father said she couldn't have a baby, so I don't have to worry about the second child ignoring me."
Lin Youxi said, "Actually, Aunt Liang is pretty nice to me. She always brings me gifts when she comes to see me during this period."
"Yeah... That's good!"
Xia Yuan took Lin Youxi's hand and said to her, "If you haven't decided whether to accept her, take me to meet that aunt next time you have a chance. I can help you feel it."
"Okay... I'll take you there when I have the chance."
Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi tightly again, "I should have been sleeping with you tonight... There are too many people at home today, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay... I'm fine now. And Xiaoya is sleeping with me too."
"So, will Ah Fang sleep on the sofa?"
Xia Yuan caught a glimpse of Mei Fang, who was holding a quilt and coming to the sofa. Mei Fang tilted his head and shrugged, "Just as you saw."
"The living room is so cold, Ah Fang, you must cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep at night. Your birthday is coming soon, and it would be a big loss if you catch a cold... Let me help you!"
Mei Fang was deeply moved after hearing this, and she covered her face with her hands and pretended to cry, "We are such a big family, and since I can't find anyone who loves me more than you, my parents said that I should just endure the cold."
"whee… "
Xia Yuan hugged the quilt and smiled sweetly at Mei Fang, "Uncle and aunt must love you in their hearts, those words were just a joke."
She was holding the quilt and was about to help Mei Fang spread the quilt on the sofa when Lin Youxi came over.
"Yuanyuan, can I help you too?"
"Haha... No need, I can handle such a small matter by myself."
"I can help you faster," Lin Youxi reminded, "Your family should still be anxious for you to go back."
"Well... that's good."
Watching Lin Youxi actively making the quilt, Xia Yuan always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Then I'll go back first. My mother is probably urging me to come back now."
Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang's shoulder and said, "I have already decided on your birthday present. I will give you a scarf as well."
"no problem."
Mei Fang made an OK gesture and said, "I'll give you one on your birthday, too."
"You are sick. It's my birthday in the summer and you gave me a scarf."
Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang and said, "However, this year when I celebrate my birthday, I am still looking forward to you giving me some different birthday gifts, Fang!"
"Well... your birthday is still half a year away, so we have to think about Youxi's birthday present first."
"Of course I remember that."
Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang's shoulder again, "That's it? Youxi also says goodbye!"
Lin Youxi waved goodbye to Xia Yuan. At this time, Mei Ya came out from the inner room, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Why did I vaguely hear Sister Yuanyuan's voice just now... Is she coming to my house today to sleep with Xiaoya?"
Mei Ya fell headfirst into Lin Youxi's arms.
"Okay, it's Sister Youxi's scent..."
Lin Youxi touched Mei Ya's head and chatted with her for a few words, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Did Yuanyuan forget to take something with her? Why is she always losing things..."
Mei Fang ran over to open the door, and when he opened it, he found that the person who came in was Lin Guochuan.
"Uncle Lin?"
Lin Guochuan and Mei Fang nodded, then leaned their heads over to look at Lin Youxi inside the room.
Lin Youxi's eyes met with her father's, but she quickly avoided the gaze and lowered her head to play with the half-sleeping Mei Ya.
"Uncle Lin, would you like to come in and sit down... I'll pour you some tea."
"No need... I'm here to bring clothes to Youxi. I went to Xia Yuan's house first, and she said Youxi will stay at your house tonight."
"Yes... Yuanyuan's family has guests today."
At this time, Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia also came out from the inner room.
"Oh, Lao Lin, come on, come in and sit down!"
Mei Lijun pulled Lin Guochuan into the house, "Come on, Lao Lin, I have to have a good chat with you tonight."
"No, that's fine... I'll leave after I deliver the clean clothes."
Before leaving, Lin Guochuan glanced at his daughter Lin Youxi again, cleared his throat, and said to Lin Youxi softly at the door:
"I'm going to visit my mom later today, too. Did you buy those apples?"
"I'm sorry, Youxi."
"It's all because of my incompetent fathership that you've been wronged."
Lin Guochuan stuffed Lin Youxi's bag containing clothes into Mei Fang's hand. When he was about to turn around and leave with a gloomy look, he was suddenly stopped by Lin Youxi.
"dad… "
Lin Youxi raised her head, looked at Lin Guochuan who was standing there and looking back, and gently said:
"Ride slowly at night. It's cold and the road is slippery. Don't fall."
This was a signal from his daughter that she was showing goodwill to him, and Lin Guochuan's tense brows finally relaxed a little.
He smiled at his daughter and said, "Yeah, Dad knows."
…
I don’t know if this can be considered a reconciliation between father and daughter!
However, after seeing this scene, Mei Fang and his parents all seemed to feel much more relieved.
That night.
Mei Fang huddled on the sofa covered with a thick quilt. The huge living room was like an ice cave. He wrapped himself tightly and held the pig-shaped hot pack that Xia Yuan bought for him in his arms. His teeth were chattering from the cold.
This living room is too cold in winter!
Why doesn't Baimei County install floor heating or heating like in the north? It's so irritating...
Mei Fang opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. The shadows of trees cast by the street lights outside the community were reflected from the ceiling. The passing vehicles covered and blocked the light and shadows over and over again.
Not sleepy at all today...
Just when Mei Fang was bored, the sound of a door opening came from the inner room.
From afar, he caught a glimpse of Lin Youxi, who was walking towards him quietly.
"Can't you sleep?"
Mei Fang spoke to her, she was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Mottled light and shadow fell on Lin Youxi's beautiful face, and Mei Fang just stared at her.
"Are you cold here? Why don't we sleep somewhere else?"
"No, I was just joking when I said it was cold. But you... if you don't cover yourself properly with the blanket, what will you do if you catch a cold?"
Lin Youxi didn't answer, but came to Mei Fang's sofa, and as if in a teasing mood, she put her hand into the quilt.
"Hey, hey! Don't you know how cold your hands are? Don't poke me..."
Mei Fang lowered her voice for fear of waking up her parents, so that Lin Youxi would continue to reach inside unscrupulously. After freezing Mei Fang a few times, Lin Youxi pulled open a corner of the quilt and crawled in with her clothes on.
"Well... it's still warm." Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang, which made Mei Fang feel very embarrassed.
"You've let the heating out by doing this, okay?"
Mei Fang was actually very confused because he had no idea what had suddenly happened to Lin Youxi.
"I have an electric blanket in my room. Xiaoya and I are sleeping on the electric blanket, but you don't want to sleep there. Why are you coming to squeeze in with me..."
Lin Youxi didn't answer. She just lay on her side, resting her head on her arm, and stared at Mei Fang quietly.
"Afang..."
Lin Youxi gently called Mei Fang's nickname.
She placed one hand against her cheek, as if whispering.
"Thank you for what happened today..."
Wow... Did you come all the way to tell me this
"What's the big deal? We are friends, so it's only natural—"
Before Mei Fang could finish her words, Lin Youxi covered her mouth with her hand.
She made a shushing gesture, then shook her head in annoyance to emphasize:
"We are not friends."
"It's childhood sweetheart."
"We grew up together and are childhood sweethearts who have always been connected to each other."
She placed her hand on Mei Fang's chest, quietly feeling his steady heartbeat, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"Hey... Youxi, please don't fall asleep here, okay? Otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my parents."
"Yeah... I'll be leaving in a moment."
Lin Youxi's hand was still on Mei Fang's chest, with an expression of being immersed in it, and Mei Fang didn't have the heart to disturb her.
It dragged on until she actually fell asleep on the sofa.
In the end, Mei Fang had no choice but to carry Lin Youxi to his own room.
Regarding this incident, Mei Fang's deepest feeling is -
It is much more difficult for a princess to carry a sleeping person in her arms than to carry her on her back.
