Chapter 220: Can You Help Keep This Secret?
Liu Xiaoyu replied, “I think that since they’re already in a very close relationship, if something has happened, hiding it will only make things worse. The sooner it’s brought up, the better. Maybe there could be some unexpected positive outcomes.”
“I know that, but Girl A doesn’t have the courage to tell Girl B,” Xia Yuan thought about her promise with Lin You Xi (not to pursue further and let Me Fang choose on his own), but explaining this to Liu Xiaoyu would be too complicated.
Liu Xiaoyu frowned, thinking, Did she just say it backwards?
“I think the responsibility lies with Girl C. She should know how to handle the situation given that both like her.”
“That’s true…”
Xia Yuan blushed, “Is it possible… that after A and C have been intimate, B would allow C to be intimate with B as a way to make up for not being told earlier?”
Xia Yuan, you’re letting yourself be treated so poorly…
But if Xia Yuan really wants such compensation… what can I say as an outsider?
However, if one kiss could resolve everything and make Xia Yuan willingly step back and bless Me Fang and Lin You Xi, wouldn’t that be good too?
The only thing I regret is that it would be unfair to Me Fang.
Also, if Lin You Xi isn’t present or sees Me Fang and Xia Yuan kissing without understanding the situation, it might cause bigger problems. She needs to ensure Lin You Xi’s safety.
Liu Xiaoyu’s mind was filled with the ABCs, making her feel dizzy.
“I think if all three parties agree to this compromise, it’s acceptable… Ultimately, as long as everyone is okay with it, that’s the best communication outcome.”
Liu Xiaoyu was tired, but this seemed to be the best outcome to her.
Is there a better solution?
None!
Liu Xiaoyu assumed that Xia Yuan just wanted to kiss Me Fang once to make up for her regrets and then step back, giving Lin You Xi and Me Fang her blessings.
She and Xia Yuan had talked all morning, and by now, the sky was breaking dawn, with light gradually brightening the distance.
“Sunrise is coming. Let’s wake everyone up?”
“Okay.”
Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu went back to the tent to call Bing Bing and Lin You Xi. Xia Yuan looked at the boys’ tent and smiled, “I’ll go get Afang to watch the sunrise together.”
There were many people preparing to watch the sunrise on the mountain top. When Lin You Xi and the others got ready to leave, they found the peak already crowded.
“There were so many people camping last night? I don’t believe it.”
“Many probably started climbing early in the morning,” Lin You Xi guessed. “It’s quite cold camping, and you need to prepare tents and sleeping bags.”
“Why haven’t Afang and Yuan come yet…”
Liu Xiaoyu anxiously searched around. Bing Bing patted her shoulder, “It’s fine. There are so many people now; it shouldn’t be a problem if they’re alone.”
“What do you mean it’s fine? How can it be fine? Youxi is still—”
“I don’t mind. Yuan is someone who values the experience. She must have taken Afang somewhere to watch the sunrise.”
Don’t you get jealous at all!
Are you even his official girlfriend?
Liu Xiaoyu was stunned by Lin You Xi’s composure.
Sigh…
“It’s better to watch the sunrise together. I’ll look for them…”
“Hey, Xiaoyu, don’t go! What if you can’t find them either?”
Liu Xiaoyu ignored Bing Bing’s call and headed to Tianchi Lake to investigate. Yuan had mentioned liking the scenery there and predicted they might kiss there.
They didn’t actually go there again, did they?
Liu Xiaoyu ran to the slope near Tianchi Lake and found Xia Yuan and Me Fang sitting on the small hill where Lin You Xi and Me Fang had kissed before.
Xia Yuan was leaning on Me Fang, blushing.
Me Fang listened for a moment, then hugged Xia Yuan and whispered something to her.
Scoundrel… too smooth!
Liu Xiaoyu pouted angrily but continued watching.
Xia Yuan seemed to understand something, her mouth forming an O shape, then she instinctively grabbed the back of her head.
Then, she hit Me Fang repeatedly.
He didn’t dodge.
This must be when Me Fang confessed.
But she doesn’t seem angry at all!
Even with good mental preparation, seeing your favorite boy with your favorite girl, there should be other emotions besides acceptance, right?
Xia Yuan kept hitting Me Fang’s chest, then suddenly sat in his lap.
Thankfully… Youxi isn’t here. If she saw—
Just as Liu Xiaoyu spoke, Xia Yuan turned and hugged Me Fang, first touching his cheek gently, then kissing him.
…
???
!!!
Although she initially suspected this, his technique seemed too smooth.
Her intuition told her something was off, but she couldn’t do anything else.
The only choice left was to watch over Youxi. Meeting Yuan now would be tragic.
Liu Xiaoyu turned to leave, but a girl appeared in front of her, nearly causing her to scream. Someone quickly covered her mouth.
Standing in front of Liu Xiaoyu was the class president Lin You Xi, whom she had been told to avoid.
“Youshi, Youxi, please don’t get mad first. Just listen to me—”
“No need to explain. I understand. I know everything.”
What… you know everything?
Lin You Xi made a gesture to Liu Xiaoyu, asking her to keep quiet.
“Can you help keep this secret, Xiaoyu?”
Lin You Xi smiled at Liu Xiaoyu, “You saw me kiss Afang yesterday, right? I saw it all.”
“Keep this secret?”
Liu Xiaoyu rubbed her head, “Your relationship is too complex. I’m confused.”
“It’s a bit complex. Let me explain. You know Yuan and I both like Afang. But we don’t want to distance ourselves from each other because of our relationship with Afang.”
“That’s true…”
“But besides that, Yuan and I want a closer relationship, more memories. So, we’re in a tacit agreement; I don’t interfere with Yuan and Fang, and she doesn’t interfere with me. We’re doing well now.”
“But that means Me Fang benefits too much, doesn’t it?”
“There’s no such thing as benefiting. We’ve grown up together since childhood. Every experience is precious. For us three, these memories are equally important.”
“Alright… if the parties involved say so.”
Liu Xiaoyu nodded, “Although it’s hard to accept, if you three are okay with it, I won’t say anything.”
“Let’s enjoy the beautiful view here.”
Lin You Xi smiled, making a double entendre.
In this world, there are many rules and tragedies.
But who doesn’t like a happy ending?
This is precisely the embodiment of our infinite hope for a better life.
The warm sunlight shone on the blue sky and Tianchi Lake, creating a shimmering scene.
After a long embrace, Xia Yuan leaned on Me Fang, sharing sweet moments.
Youxi watched this tenderly; Liu Xiaoyu felt dazed and weak.
Class 1-3 and Class 1-5 students also welcomed a new dawn amidst their sighs and camera clicks.
This chapter is a rewrite from yesterday. I need to sleep early tonight.
Thank you for staying until the end. There might be many typos, please point them out.
