Chapter 150: Give Him a Little Push
Lin Youxi prepared a sumptuous dinner for the arrival of Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue.
Stewed beef with Chinese yam, sweet and sour pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers, stewed cabbage with dried tofu and ham, and Hubei Provinces signature pork ribs and lotus root soup.
When each dish was brought out by Mei Fang one by one, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue couldnt take their eyes off them.
Youxi, I didnt know you were such a great cook!
Give me your phone. I need to check if you ordered takeout.
Whats there to check? Our Youxis cooking skills are just this excellent!
Xia Yuan was generous in her praise for Lin Youxi at the dining table. Her cooking skills are now almost on par with Mei Fangs mom. I think she even surpasses some to the point where we dont miss home at all!
No wonder Mei Fang never feels homesick
Peng Xue stared at Mei Fang and said, Are you so happy here that you dont miss home?
Eat more and talk less. Mei Fang urged, The last one to finish eating will do the dishes.
Yue Xinyi couldnt believe it and immediately stood up. Do guests have to do the dishes too?
What guests and non-guests? Since youre here, just treat this place as your own home!
Xia Yuan happily watched Mei Fang and Yue Xinyis bickering, while Lin Youxi not only focused on eating but also occasionally helped put food on Mei Fangs plate for him.
I dont like eating Chinese yam Mei Fang looked disgusted.
Even if you dont like it, eat more. Its good for your health. Lin Youxi advised, At your age, you shouldnt be picky about food.
You used to be the pickiest eater!
That was in the past. Now I can eat anything.
Lin Youxi picked up a piece of Chinese yam and put it in her own bowl. Whatever you eat, Ill eat the same. Isnt that enough to set an example for you now?
Fine
While Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were conversing, Yue Xinyi suddenly stood up, covering her mouth, and made a face as if she was about to vomit.
Thanks, I cant eat anymore.
Didnt you like it? Or was there some other reason
No, no thats not the reason
Lin Youxi clearly didnt want others to question her cooking skills and continued to question Yue Xinyi persistently.
Xia Yuan watched TV with a smile on her face. When there was no more beef in her bowl, she extended it towards Mei Fang for him to put some more beef on it.
I dont want the fatty parts, only the lean meat!
Youre so picky.
Peng Xue shook her head while watching Mei Fang diligently serving beef to Xia Yuan.
Although both interactions are intimate, its obvious to me which one is between a married couple and which one is between a father and daughter.
Peng Xue had initially thought that after the three of them started living together, Xia Yuan, who had always been proactive, could make up for not being Mei Fangs classmate previously. She had thought that Lin Youxi would be reduced to an underdog who worked hard but couldnt express her feelings well, only able to silently offer blessings to the other twos relationship.
But now it doesnt seem like it at all!
We had such a big advantage before, so how did things end up like this?
Its really hard to understand
Peng Xue cupped her chin and watched Mei Fang, who was having intimate interaction with Xia Yuan.
She didnt know how far their relationship had progressed, and she didnt know if it was good to bring up that matter with Xia Yuan
Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue arrived in Jiangcheng on the 1st and planned to stay until the 4th.
According to the itinerary planned by Xia Yuan for everyone, they would rest at home on the 1st day, visit the school on the 2nd, and then go to the city center for sightseeing. On the 3rd, Xia Yuan arranged tickets for a music festival so they could experience the festive atmosphere of a large city.
Unfortunately, the days Mei Fang had anticipated, where he wouldnt be needed by the girls, didnt come. The next day, he was dragged around by the girls the entire time, eating together, taking pictures for the girls, and posing for group photos.
It already looks exaggerated from a distance, and its even more exaggerated being on campus!
I regret not working harder and studying for the exams
As everyone wandered around the campus, Lin Youxi was pulled away by Yue Xinyi to take photos. Watching Mei Fang and Xia Yuans back, Peng Xue thought that now was a good opportunity. She immediately called out to Mei Fang, Mei Fang, that pavilion up ahead looks beautiful! Lets take a photo there.
You and Yuan Yuan? Alright.
Mei Fang took the camera and was about to adjust the settings, but Peng Xue shook her head and said, Im tired of taking photos with Yuan Yuan. You and her take one together!
With me? I have taken many photos with Ah Fang before.
I already know you have many group photos with Mei Fang and Youxi
Peng Xue shook her head, What I mean is, there should be very few photos of the two of you alone, right? But if Yuan Yuan doesnt want to
Peng Xue tried to reach out and hold Mei Fangs arm, Then, how about helping me take a photo of me and Mei Fang together? I dont mean anything else, I just want to experience what it feels like to have a boyfriend in a photo
Dont joke around!
Xia Yuan waved her fist and pushed Peng Xue away from Mei Fang, then pulled her aside to complain, Xiaoxue, youre so cute, why dont you just find a boyfriend? Why do you have to flirt around with our Ah Fang?
Its easy to find a guy, but someone as reliable and mature as Mei Fang is not easy to find.
Peng Xue held onto Xia Yuan, whispering as they leaned close, Ive warned you before, but maybe you didnt take it seriously.
Now that were all growing up, if you dont make a move or hesitate when others already cooked the rice[1], youll be the one suffering.
Mhm, I know it well, Xiaoxue! But Ah Fang is not that kind of guy He is very traditional and conservative.
You better truly know it well Let me remind you once more, Mei Fang is much more mature than you imagine. Think carefully about the time youve spent with him. He cant possibly be oblivious to your feelings for him.
Peng Xue patted Xia Yuans shoulder and then loudly called Mei Fang over, saying they should take a photo together.
Like this Get closer! Yuan Yuan, do you usually keep such a distance from Mei Fang? Get even closer.
So Xia Yuan linked her arm with Mei Fangs and smiled at him.
By the way, why is Peng Xue so excited today Did something good happen?
Um I dont know either.
Smile, cheese!
Peng Xue took a photo of Xia Yuan and Mei Fang and then called them over to see the result.
Look, both of you, dont you look like a cute couple?
Um
Mei Fang didnt explicitly express his opinion on the couple-like atmosphere comment from Peng Xue, he just joked that he looked too handsome in the photo and diverted the topic.
In the past, Xia Yuan would have teased Mei Fang and poked fun at his self-centeredness.
But this time, with Peng Xue by their side, she gave Xia Yuan a signal as soon as Mei Fang turned around.
See, he clearly doesnt want to discuss this topic! These are the words Peng Xues expression clearly conveyed.
Thus, with Peng Xues reminder, Xia Yuan gradually began to realize the seriousness of the situation.
Ah Fang has always been so mature since he was young; he should have noticed that both I and Youxi like him.
However, what does he think about it himself?
Xia Yuan had almost asked him about it before, but she didnt plan on asking him again.
After all, it would be cruel not just to him but also to me and Youxi if he had to say it himself
So its best to maintain the status quo!
In fact, Xia Yuan didnt come up with this thought just because of Peng Xues reminder, but she always ended up considering maintaining the status quo as the best option.
So when Peng Xue asked for her thoughts, she also revealed her own.
I think its best like this After all, Ah Fangs own feelings are the most important, and I cant force him to like me.
Peng Xue was so disappointed that she couldnt help but call Xia Yuan a fool in her heart.
If it werent for the fact that I care about your feelings as my friend, I would have already pursued Mei Fang long ago!
How Mei Fang thinks about it himself may not be that importantat least not as important as you imagine.
Because in my opinion, he might not dare to think about these things himself.
What do you mean, Xiaoxue?
I mean, is there a possibility that Peng Xue held Xia Yuans hand and whispered softly in her ear:
Mei Fang himself doesnt actually know in his heart which one of you he likes more.
But if you give him a little push, he might just hug you and never let go, you know?
