Chapter 104: Girls’ Topics
In the remedial class, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue were still engaged in their ongoing battle of passing notes.
[Mei Fang went to learn guitar with Yuanyuan!]
[Mei Fang also helped Youxi write code!]
[Mei Fang taught Yuanyuan roller-skating hand-in-hand!]
[Mei Fang encouraged Youxi to run for class president seriously!]
[When Yuanyuan ran away from home as a child, Mei Fang accompanied her all the way to Jiangcheng!]
[When Youxi wanted to give her father a gift, Mei Fang helped her plan and execute the action!]
[There’s no chance for you to like Mei Fang and Youxi together!]
[There’s no chance for you to like Mei Fang and Yuanyuan either!]
Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi passed notes back and forth endlessly.
[Let’s talk more about what Mei Fang has done and his feelings towards them! Yuanyuan can call him Afang in public, can you do that, Youxi?]
[Yuanyuan just acts this way because of her personality, not just because she likes Afang! We treat everyone coldly in class, except for Mei Fang, whom we treat warmly and kindly!]
[For example?]
[For example, she keeps a certain distance when talking to others, but when she talks to Mei Fang, she always touches him first, sometimes even whispering to him!]
[When Yuanyuan was wronged before, Mei Fang stood up to protect her, and he also protected me!]
[Don’t include yourself in that, and besides, Youxi played a big part in that too; she held the situation down!]
After filling their notes densely, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue reached a point where they couldn’t find space to write anymore. Through exchanging notes, they deeply felt the strong bond between Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi, and Mei Fang.
Yue Xinyi wrote another note to Peng Xue.
[Afang is such an idiot.]
Peng Xue quickly replied:
[I couldn’t agree more. =.=]
Mei Fang suddenly sneezed loudly, unable to cover his mouth in time, so he sneezed towards Zhang Ming’s direction. This caused Zhang Ming to look at him with disdain.
Seeing this, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue couldn’t help but smile.
Two people who had never spoken or interacted much now felt like they had known each other forever, developing a high level of understanding.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had long noticed the commotion at the back of the classroom. During the 10-minute break, Xia Yuan turned around and asked them.
“Why aren’t you two paying attention? What are you doing back there? Passing notes? What are you talking about?”
“Chatting… chatting…”
Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue looked at each other, and Peng Xue spoke first, “We’re discussing the type of boys we like!”
“Discussing so deeply right after meeting? You two…”
Xia Yuan had long wanted to meet Yue Xinyi because they had been classmates since elementary school, and now they were in the same class again. Unfortunately, Lin Youxi hadn’t introduced Xia Yuan to her, making Xia Yuan feel awkward when only introducing Peng Xue.
“You’re Yue Xinyi, right? I’m Xia Yuan, Afang and Youxi’s childhood friend. We’ve known each other since kindergarten!”
“Yo-yo-you.”
She said Afang’s name first…
As both former Chinese class representatives, Yue Xinyi was particularly sensitive to word order.
Although Xia Yuan seemed closer to Lin Youxi now, she was actually leaning more towards Mei Fang in her heart.
But, randomly guessing someone’s thoughts is not something I usually do…
Yue Xinyi wondered if she had become obsessed with Xia Yuan.
“Continue your conversation! I want to join in!” Xia Yuan said while tilting her head. “What kind of boy does Xinyi like?”
Oh my, how cute!
Yue Xinyi couldn’t resist cute things.
If not for being a roadblock on the path of Fangxi’s relationship, she would have liked Xia Yuan more. Xia Yuan’s actions in defending Peng Xue had created quite a stir at school, and many people wanted to be friends with Xia Yuan.
“I like someone cheerful, taller, like a neighborly older brother, with a bright, sunny smile,” Yue Xinyi said dreamily, causing Lin Youxi to shake her head beside her.
“Indeed… A cheerful older brother is very popular with girls.”
Xia Yuan nodded with a smile, her mind filled with thoughts of Mei Fang.
Cheerful — Afang teases himself;
Taller — Afang is taller than her;
Neighborly older brother — Afang lives next door;
Bright, sunny smile — Afang’s smile is very gentle.
“What about Xiao Xue? What kind of boy does she like?”
“Well… I prefer someone a bit cute, not too tall, maybe shorter, looking fierce but gentle, and willing to stand up for me at crucial moments, showing a rebellious side I don’t know about.”
Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, “A little puppy is indeed cool!”
Xia Yuan started daydreaming:
Cute young boy — Afang is very cute;
Not too tall — Afang is slightly taller;
Fierce but gentle — Afang gets angry and pinches her;
Standing up for her at crucial moments — Not mentioning the incident when she ran away and encountered bad guys;
Rebellious side — Afang is a biker, with a wild stage dream.
This Xiao Xue really can’t forget our Afang…
But Afang is indeed excellent, so it can’t be helped!
Xia Yuan finished listening to their conversation without further discussion. Yue Xinyi felt it was a good opportunity to clarify things and quickly asked Lin Youxi for help, “Youxi, what do you think—”
“Oh!” Yue Xinyi hurriedly covered her mouth, “Sorry, I shouldn’t call you that, right?”
“There’s nothing wrong with calling me whatever you like.”
Hearing Lin Youxi speak so calmly, Yue Xinyi immediately regretted not doing so earlier.
“So, what kind of boy does Youxi like?”
“Hmm…”
Just as Lin Youxi was about to speak, Xia Yuan suddenly interrupted, “There’s no need to ask! Youxi definitely likes the same type as me, Afang, right, hahaha!”
Her transition was so natural that the other three girls were unsure how to respond, and Xia Yuan herself was stunned, her cheeks turning red.
Why did I say that all of a sudden!
Who brought up this topic in the first place!
Just as Xia Yuan was blushing and unsure, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
“Yuanyuan, help me!”
Xia Yuan was startled by Mei Fang’s tap. Looking at his expression, it seemed he hadn’t heard their conversation.
“What do you need?”
“It’s like this…”
Mei Fang and Zhang Ming each held a brand-new physics textbook with only three fingers, spinning it gracefully.
“We’re going to compete to see who can spin books better. Can you be the judge?”
“What’s there to compete about?”
Zhang Ming sneered at Mei Fang, looking as if he was saying, “You might be good at spinning pens, but spinning books is my forte.”
“If you’re so good, why are you afraid of competing with me?”
“If you choose your own people as judges, it’s not fair,” Zhang Ming said. He wasn’t stupid and could see that Xia Yuan favored Mei Fang, but he didn’t care about love and affection. He just thought Xia Yuan would favor Mei Fang.
Of course, Mei Fang might lose intentionally, but that would defeat the purpose of a fair competition.
Boring! I want a real showdown!
Mei Fang thought for a moment and pointed at Yue Xinyi, “If you think she’s not suitable, then let the Chinese class representative be the judge, okay?”
“No, no…” Yue Xinyi waved her hand dismissively.
“I heard stupidity is contagious, and I don’t want to get dumber.”
“Can I do it?” Peng Xue raised her hand happily, “I’ll be the judge, ensuring fairness and impartiality!”
Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi switched seats and came behind Mei Fang and Zhang Ming to prepare as judges.
“I think we should score based on duration, aesthetics, and difficulty, right?”
Zhang Ming’s book spun like a propeller, and he nodded, “Yes, yes, looks like you’re quite experienced.”
“Mei Fang and Zhang Ming, can’t you boys stop playing such childish games? It’s really boring. Peng Xue, why are you getting involved…”
“Haha, it’s fun, why not?”
As everyone laughed and joked, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the topic was diverted…
Her eyes met Lin Youxi, who looked absent-minded.
Perhaps sensing Xia Yuan’s gaze, Lin Youxi turned to look at her. When their eyes met, they shared a knowing smile.
Youxi didn’t refute me just now…
Xia Yuan thought to herself.
Today is busy, will update later…
