Chapter 160: This Day Feels So Comfortable
After three days of battling wits and skills with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, Mei Fang had been eagerly anticipating the return of Liang Meijuan.
Aunt Liang, please have a seat! I can just stand!
Aunt Liang, you must be tired! Let me carry your things!
Dont worry about lunch, Youxi and Yuan Yuan have prepared everything at home!
Liang Meijuan didnt expect that the one who was most looking forward to her return would be Mei Fang, with whom she communicated the least among the three youngsters. He not only took the initiative to pick her up at the station but also took care of her all the way, attending to her needs and showing more thoughtfulness than her own stepchild.
Ah Fang, how have you been at home these past few days? If theres anything wrong, remember to let Auntie know
Im fine, Im fine! Its been great Mei Fang scratched his head, Its just that I havent seen Aunt Liang in so long, so I missed you.
You, when did you become so sweet with your words Aunties not used to it.
As Liang Meijuan spoke, she remembered something, By the way, when I came back, I coincidentally ran into your mother going to Baimei County for some business. She asked me to bring a lot of winter clothes for you, many of which are brand new. Try them on when we get home, and if they dont fit, Ill send them back.
No wonder Aunt Liang brought so much luggage over today My mom is really something, why couldnt she just have it shipped directly instead of troubling you?
Its expensive to ship them over. Although your dad is an official, he still works hard to earn money. Its good to save some Liang Meijuan explained.
I understand, Aunt Liang!
Liang Meijuan genuinely liked this thoughtful child. When she first entered the Lin family, she was completely unfamiliar with Lin Youxi. It was thanks to Mei Fang taking the initiative to tell her about some of Lin Youxis habits that she gradually integrated into Lin Youxis life more easily.
If Youxi can spend her life with this child in the future, she will definitely be very happy. But then Yuan Yuan will be too pitiful; she seems to like him quite a lot as well.
Liang Meijuan had been with these three families only for the past two years. The tragic experiences she had endured in the past made her consider herself an insignificant outsider for a long time.
However, during these months of living together, Liang Meijuan gradually developed a sense of responsibility like a parent to the three children. She didnt favor Lin Youxi excessively just because she was her stepdaughter.
Liang Meijuan, who loved children but had never had her own, truly treated the three of them as if they were her own.
Mei Fang could always sense this affection, and thats why he had always respected Lin Youxis stepmother.
Upon returning home, Liang Meijuan saw that the house was as tidy and bright as when she left. Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were bustling in the kitchen, full of energy.
When they saw Liang Meijuan come back, Xia Yuan quickly came over to help carry things and serve tea while Lin Youxi greeted her and then went back to the kitchen to continue working. Liang Meijuan tried to cook herself, but the two girls didnt allow it and quickly pulled her back to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Oh my, this day feels so comfortable
At Liang Meijuans age, she had long passed the years of longing for married life. She always cared more about family experiences, and finding joy in family bonds was her greatest pursuit.
Yuan Yuan, come here. This is a sweater your mother knitted for you. Try it on and see if it fits.
Okay!
Xia Yuan took the sweater and went straight into the bathroom. In fact, she just needed to put it on over her clothes, there was no need to take off her clothes. Liang Meijuan was surprised by Xia Yuans action.
Is it not okay to just put it on here?
Mei Fang who was standing at the side showed a mocking smile.
A few days ago, she even dared to change her clothes in front of me without any hesitation, but now that our guardian is back, she suddenly becomes so reserved. Such a hypocritical girl.
Of course, in terms of hypocritical behavior, Xia Yuan was still far behind Lin Youxi.
Whenever there were others around, Lin Youxi always had a reserved and inscrutable expression, concealing her emotions. Today, she was focused on cooking in the kitchen, displaying a virtuous and mature image, which pleased Liang Meijuan.
It feels like we havent seen each other for just a few days, but our Youxi has already grown a lot.
Lin Youxi just smiled faintly and remained silent, then lowered her head to serve food to Liang Meijuan.
Aunt Meijuan, please try this. I just learned how to make it recently.
Mmm Your cooking skills are getting better and better!
However, having said that, it was this demeanor of hers that made people feel at ease
The National Day holiday ended, and everyone returned to their lives at Jiangcheng NOHS. During National Day, most of the special county students went home, including Xiang Bingbing.
She brought chestnuts and kiwis back from Shennongjiaa whole bag of them.
These are grown in our own garden. Theyre delicious and sweet. Mei Fang, try some. Let me tell you, the chestnuts from our place are absolutely amazing!
Alright, alright This is enough.
Mei Fang took some chestnuts and kiwis, but there were still many local specialties in Xiang Bingbings snake-patterned bag. She distributed them one by one in class, giving off a friendly and approachable vibe.
Most people accepted Xiang Bingbings gifts, giving her face. They were all generally easy-going classmates.
After the National Day holiday, homeroom teacher Dong Zhongying first collected everyones assignments and then discussed the upcoming Autumn Art Festival in the middle of the month.
For those who want to sign up for a performance, dont forget the deadline. The first and second years of high school are the best time for you to showcase yourselves. If you miss this opportunity, it may never come again. Understand?
Yes!
Everyone responded enthusiastically, especially the local students who seemed to be more interested in these talent show activities.
Mei Fang went to sign up for the singing event at the Student Union today and then found out he also had to participate in a selection process.
At my previous school, the teachers would already be thanking theheaven if there was anyone willing to perform, but here we still have to go through a selection process? This is really too much trouble
However, Mei Fang had no intention of backing down. After signing up, he was informed that he should attend the audition during the evening self-study session tomorrow.
As Mei Fang left the Student Union, he happened to run into Lin Youxi, who was talking to some female students while holding her materials and homework notebook.
She is now the class monitor of Class 3. Yuan Yuan said she was elected so easily, which is indeed a simple matter considering her abilities, as well as her appearance.
But when she saw Mei Fang, she was very low-key, just nodding to Mei Fang and then going back to talk to the girls next to her.
Hmm
Mei Fang turned back and stared at Lin Youxis back.
Our Youxi has become a cold and aloof top student again.
It feels a bit nostalgic
Just as Mei Fang was reflecting on his own feelings, Lin Youxi suddenly turned her head and glanced at Mei Fang, catching him looking at her. She smiled at him, pursed her lips, and then turned back.
Cute!
Speaking the truth, Mei Fang would be feeling a bit bored if he were to go to the classroom right now.
Everyone was busy preparing for the art festival, and even Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi didnt come to him during breaks.
His deskmate, Wan Chaoxiong, was always busy with his videos and his cat, while his other classmates didnt chat with Mei Fang very much on a daily basis.
Xiang Bingbing was a bit more interesting to talk to, but she would always mingle with the people around her, so Mei Fang couldnt always play with her.
It might be better to go to the club room and do some work
Just as he was thinking that, he saw an orange-colored, Garfield cat that kept meowing at him in the pavilion nearby.
Isnt this Bawang? What are you doing here?
Bawang was Wan Chaoxiongs beloved cat. He always brought it to school during classes, partly for making videos and partly to let it roam in a wider environmentand to, according to him, flirt with female cats.
Mei Fang approached and stroked Bawangs back. Bawang lazily yawned and purred, then arched his body and stretched out a big yawn.
This cat is really living the life.
As he was commenting on it, Bawang suddenly leaped and climbed down from under the pavilion.
Mei Fang was a bit curious about where it would go next, and whether it really would attract a female cats attention, so he followed it for a short distance.
And then, at the end of the path Bawang was walking on, he happened to come across the girl he least wanted to see alone
Liu Xiaoyu.
