Phew…

Mei Fang climbed onto the balcony outside Lin Youxi’s room. Just as he was about to knock on the window, the curtains in the room suddenly opened, and Lin Youxi and Mei Fang made eye contact.

Her eyes were swollen, indicating she had been crying for a long time.

But when she saw Mei Fang’s appearance, her expression immediately turned surprised.

Mei Fang awkwardly waved at Lin Youxi, and she quickly opened the French window and hugged him, just as resolute as when she cried and begged Mei Fang not to move away.

“How did you… suddenly appear here?”

Lin Youxi looked up at Mei Fang, feeling both surprised and delighted.

Why…

You always appear when I need you the most…

Mei Fang was also surprised, “Suddenly? Yuan Yuan and I knocked on your door outside, didn’t you hear us?”

Lin Youxi looked back at her desk, “I was listening to music just now…”

Lin Youxi also bought an MP3 player for herself, but she gave it to Mei Fang and kept the old one that Mei Fang had previously given to her.”

“Oh… it was a misunderstanding! I thought you didn’t want to see us anymore.”

In fact, both he and Xia Yuan only lightly knocked on the door and said a few words then didn’t continue to try, afraid of making Lin Youxi angry.

“I don’t want to see you? Impossible!”

Lin Youxi wiped away her tears and smiled, “You guys are the most important to me.”

“I’ve heard everything from Yuan Yuan… She regrets it now, so she came here specifically to see you… Anyway, do you want to see her?”

Lin Youxi nodded and slowly released her embrace from Mei Fang.

“I also want to see her. Today’s events… ultimately, it’s my fault from the beginning. I want to apologize to her.”

Seeing Lin Youxi’s attitude, Mei Fang no longer hesitated. He went to the door, unlocked it, and gently opened it. He saw Xia Yuan running back from downstairs, her hands were interviewed in front of her, looking nervous.

“Come, talk to Youxi, she also has something to tell you.”

Mei Fang gave way to Xia Yuan, and after encouraging her to go in, he slowly closed the door and went to the living room on the first floor, where Liang Meijuan poured him a glass of milk.

“Thank you, Aunt Liang.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome…”

Liang Meijuan sat next to Mei Fang and asked softly, “Yuan Yuan and Youxi had a quarrel today, right?”

“Yes…”

Mei Fang nodded, “But now they should be able to make up.”

“It’s good if they can make up…”

Liang Meijuan smiled, “Although I didn’t see you guys grow up, Auntie can feel that your relationship is really good. It would be great if it stays this way.”

“Mhm…!” Mei Fang nodded in agreement. “I will work hard, Aunt Liang.”

“Ah Fang, thank you for your hard work.” Liang Meijuan expressed her gratitude.

“Although Youxi is obedient and sensible, sometimes she’s really introverted and keeps things to herself. I can only ensure she’s well-fed and well-clothed, but for everything else, I can only rely on Yuan Yuan and you… especially you.”

“Haha… I’m not that capable.”

Mei Fang scratched the back of his head awkwardly, “The friendship between the three of us definitely needs to be maintained by all three of us. I can’t do anything alone.”

“That’s true…”

Liang Meijuan got up and wiped her hands, “You wait for Yuan Yuan and Youxi to make up first. If you’re tired, you can lie down on the sofa for a while. Auntie will go and do something first.”

“Okay, Aunt Liang.”

As soon as Liang Meijuan left, Mei Fang immediately collapsed on the sofa.

Phew… Today really exhausted me.

It’s been an incredibly long day.

I wonder how those two girls are talking.

I hope they don’t end up arguing again while talking, ha ha…

Hmm… they probably won’t.

They both already want to apologize to each other.

Although I played a role in bringing them together, they both need to have the willingness to consider each other’s feelings. I just gave them a little push.

Hurry up and make up, you two silly girls.

Sigh…

Mei Fang kept thinking about things and soon drifted into a deep sleep.

After some time, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi walked out of the room.

There were faint traces of tears on their faces, along with a hint of a smile.

They were holding hands as they came out together.

Seeing Mei Fang sleeping on the sofa downstairs, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi became more careful in their movements.

They tiptoed towards the sofa where Mei Fang was sleeping. Youxi sat on the side of the sofa, while Xia Yuan sat on another sofa, resting her chin on her hand as she gazed at Mei Fang, then mischievously poked Mei Fang’s cheek.

“He’s sleeping so soundly.”

“Yeah…”

Lin Youxi nodded, “I think, seeing us quarrel, Ah Fang must be even more upset today than us.”

“Yeah…”

Xia Yuan placed her hand on Mei Fang’s cheek, gazing at him with tender eyes.

“We can’t let him be so sad in the future…”

“Yeah.”

Lin Youxi also placed her hand on Mei Fang’s chest, her eyes filled with joy.

She enjoyed feeling Mei Fang’s heartbeat.

“By the way, Youxi, about what we just talked about, I have an idea!”

Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi and said, “The three of us grew up together since we were young, we are the best childhood sweethearts in the world. So, let’s not fight over Ah Fang like in novels or other stories. It’s not worth it, and it will make Ah Fang sad.”

“So… let’s not take our relationship with Ah Fang any further, and let’s remain childhood sweethearts for now.”

“As for whether we should have a different relationship with him… when we grow up and reach the right age, let Ah Fang make the choice himself. What do you think?”

“Okay,” Lin Youxi nodded in agreement. “But… I actually hope Ah Fang never makes a choice.”

“Forever like this?”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and then chuckled, “Yeah, that seems nice too…”

“Is it a deal then?”

Xia Yuan extended her pinky finger to Lin Youxi, and seeing this, Lin Youxi also instinctively extended hers.

Xia Yuan also grabbed Mei Fang’s hand, and the two of them hooked their little fingers together with Mei Fang’s.

“Pinky promise… it’s a deal… no change is allowed… within a hundred years——”

They whispered the most sincere childhood promise in soft voices.

But this action gradually woke up the sleeping Mei Fang.

His eyes moved, and then he struggled to rub his eyes. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were so scared that they blushed and stood up straight.

Then Mei Fang got up from the sofa and, still half-asleep, saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi holding hands in front of him.

“Am I dreaming?”

“No, no!”

Mei Fang felt like he had a good sleep, but he was still a little grumpy now.

“So… have you two made up?”

“We have, we have!”

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi hugged and stuck close together, “See, we’re not quarreling anymore.”

“…”

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan and asked, “What about the Science Experimental Class?”

Xia Yuan shook her head, “After hearing your and Youxi’s opinions, I’ve decided not to apply for it anymore. I really can’t bring myself to like physics, and I probably won’t like it in high school either. I think I’ll go for liberal arts instead.”

“That’s good…”

Mei Fang nodded, then turned to Lin Youxi and said, “Youxi, we won’t apply for it either.”

There was a hint of surprise in Lin Youxi’s eyes, and Xia Yuan shook her head frantically, “This isn’t right! You shouldn’t lower your standards because of me… I’m not insisting on being in the same class as you anymore. Please don’t choose liberal arts just for me… I’ll feel really guilty…”

“Not applying for the Science Experimental Class doesn’t mean I’m trying to accommodate you.”

Mei Fang said seriously, “These past few days, I’ve thought about it carefully. I don’t think we need to be bound by the perspective of this small county. There’s no need to desperately fight for Baimei No. 1 High School because, to be honest, only the science department is outstanding there. It’s actually difficult for liberal arts students to stand out. Even if Yuan Yuan studies liberal arts there, she won’t have much room for development.”

“Ah Fang, are you suggesting——”

“Based on our abilities, our goal can be a school with stronger teaching staff and more comprehensive education. This way, Yuan Yuan, you won’t have to struggle with physics in exams, and you can showcase your strengths and advantages in liberal arts.”

Mei Fang’s words made the two girls’ confused eyes brighten up——

“Baizhou High School in Baizhou City, or Jiangcheng No.1 High School in Jiangcheng. These two schools are the top high schools in our Hubei Province—they are part of the Eight Schools Alliance, and are also currently the high schools we can get access to and are more suitable for us to strive towards.
