Chapter 146: Im Just Playing Along with Your Act

Mhm Dad? Im doing well over here.

Aunt Liang cooks delicious food, mhm.

Quarrel? No, I get along well with Ah Fang and Youxi.

Go home for National Day? I dont really want to go back.

If Youxi and Ah Fang arent going back, why should I go back alone?

Missing Mom? Umm its alright. Im not a child anymore, so I wont cling to my parents all the time.

Okay, thats it. Dad, why dont you spend more time with Mom?! Take her out more, spend more time with her.

Besides, isnt it convenient for you since Im not at home? You can strengthen your relationship with Mom Shes so beautiful, if you dont accompany her, she might have some complaints!

Alright, alright, Ill hang up now Okay, bye!

Xia Yuan hung up the phone, sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and then happily hugged a pillow, rolling around on the bed.

Tomorrow was officially National Day, a joyful seven-day holiday.

Liang Meijuan planned to go back during National Day and meet her husband, Lin Guochuan.

Originally, she had planned to take the three back together, but Lin Youxi insisted on staying here, and Mei Fang had no plans to go home in Baizhou either, so Xia Yuan naturally decided to stay as well.

Xia Yuans father, Xia Xun, strongly objected to this and repeatedly tried to persuade her to come back, but he was met with Xia Yuans repeated refusals.

She had thought it through. Either all three of them would go back, or none of them would.

Dont be fooled by Xia Yuans seemingly naive and carefree appearance.

She was well aware that if she went back home for National Day and left Mei Fang and Lin Youxi here together for a few days, there would definitely be no way for her to insert herself between the two.

Maybe even the rubber that the school just gave out will be used up

Xia Yuan was lying on the bed playing with a condom wrapper in her hand when Lin Youxi knocked on the door and came in, startling Xia Yuan, who quickly hid it under the blanket.

W-Whats whats up?

Lin Youxi tilted her head curiously, glancing at what Xia Yuan had hidden under the blanket, and then smiled slightly. Aunt Liang asked me to ask you how your conversation with your family went regarding going home for National Day. Do you want to go back?

No, Im not going back. Theres so much to handle at the Ximilu Studio right now, and Im still learning electronic composition. Going back and forth would take up too much time

Xia Yuan glanced at Lin Youxi and said, Youre not suddenly planning to go back with Ah Fang, are you?

No why would we do that?

Mhm its good if youre not.

However, I wanted to talk about something else.

Lin Youxi sat down by the bed. Yue Xinyi just contacted me and said she wants to come to Jiangcheng for a few days during National Day. I thought, if Aunt Liang goes back, she can stay with us.

Great! Let her come. It will be just Yue Xinyi alone?

She invited Peng Xue to come along, but Peng Xue hasnt confirmed yet.

Its strange that Xiaoxue didnt even ask me. I definitely want her to come.

As Xia Yuan was mumbling, Lin Youxi suddenly reached into the blanket and took out what Xia Yuan had hidden.

Ah! Hey!

Xia Yuan felt extremely embarrassed, her face turning red as she reached out her hand to take it back. Youxi, give it back to me!

Why do you keep playing with this Were done with the X education class now, and we dont need it in our daily life.

I just havent figured out where to hide it properly Im afraid Aunt Liang will see it and misunderstand. After all, they wouldnt distribute this kind of thing in the schools in our small county, right?

Lin Youxi didnt mean to tease Xia Yuan. Seeing her reaction, she returned it to her.

Be careful and keep it safe. Dont always take it out. Its fine at home, but at school, people might think youre a careless girl and cause unnecessary trouble.

I know that

I only take it out at home.

Xia Yuan put the thing back in her drawer and sighed. Speaking of which, Youxi used to listen to me so well, but now she has become like an older sister

Dont you like being lectured by me?

Thats not what I meant! This is fine too

Xia Yuan walked over to Lin Youxi, took her hand, and said, We have a seven-day holiday for National Day. How do you think we should spend it?

It depends on how many days Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue plan to stay.

Lin Youxi sighed helplessly. If possible, I hope they can return as early as possible.

How direct! When friends reunite after a long time, we should be happier.

Then you can entertain the two of them, and Ill accompany Ah Fang to work.

No, no, that wont do! We should do it together

See, you dont want to miss out either.

Lin Youxi smiled slightly. This is an opportunity to spend a long, long time alone with Ah Fang.

A long, long time alone

Mei Fang, who was working, suddenly sneezed. He looked at his computer and saw a message from Zhang Ming on QQ.

Not Yet Summer Solstice: Do you have any plans for National Day? Do you want to hang out and play?

Heaven Defying Little Fang Fang: Did you finish writing the proposal I asked you to write last time? All you think about is playing every day.

Not Yet Summer Solstice: Are you a devil or something?

Heaven Defying Little Fang Fang: Just kidding! Come if you want, come and have fun in Jiangcheng. Ill have a room for myself, and we can sleep together at night.

Not Yet Summer Solstice: Id rather stay home and play games.

There will be too many girls over at your place, and the yin energy is too strong.

Heaven Defying Little Fang Fang: You coward.

Mei Fang scolded Zhang Ming, but deep down he was also unsure. He had been contemplating whether to go to Baizhou for a while to rest, but with his little sister Mei Ya around, it might not necessarily be as peaceful as with the two girls.

At least if Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue came over, the girls might prefer to hang out together with them, and he could enjoy a leisurely time at home.

On National Day, the Mei You Yuan trio accompanied Liang Meijuan all the way to the station and during the journey, Liang Meijuan kept chatting with Lin Youxi about trivial matters in life.

The refrigerator still has two kilograms of beef. Take it out and marinate it. The seasonings are in the cabinet under the gas stove.

Also, the leafy green vegetables at home, please cook them as soon as possible. See if you need to buy groceries for the next few days. Its okay not to order takeout, try not to eat too greasy food.

I know, Auntie, Lin Youxi nodded. I dont like using too much oil either.

Then, about drying clothes, try to put your personal clothes separately on the bedroom balcony for drying, not on the living room balcony. After all, Mei Fang is still a boy

Although there was still some awkwardness in their relationship as stepdaughter and stepmother, Mei Fang clearly noticed that their conversations were gradually increasing. Liang Meijuan was not as restrained as before and had become more relaxed.

During the waiting time at the station, Xia Yuan bought many boxes of Zhou Heiya ducks for her to take back to her parents.

Dad really craves Zhou Heiya duck in Jiangcheng, especially duck clavicle. Aunt Liang, can you please give this to my dad? It will definitely make him happy.

Yuan Yuan, youre such a thoughtful child

The naive Liang Meijuan thought that Xia Yuan genuinely missed her parents. She affectionately patted Xia Yuans head a few times. Yuan Yuan, if you really miss your mom and dad, I can take you back with me now, you know?

No, no! Aunt Liang! Xia Yuan quickly waved her hands. If I go back alone, Youxi and Ah Fang might feel lonely. Id rather stay here.

Liang Meijuan didnt dwell on it too much. However, she did have some concerns about Mei Fang and Lin Youxi being alone together. Before their departure, Mei Fangs mother, Xiang Xiaoxia, had repeatedly warned her not to let the kids cause any serious trouble in high school.

But with all three of them together, at least they could supervise each other and avoid any major incidents

After bidding farewell to Liang Meijuan at the station, Mei Fang and the two girls continued to wait at the station.

Oh, by the way, since were going to play in Jiangcheng this time, shouldnt we invite Guo Yun to come along, Ah Fang?

I asked Guo Yun already, and she said shes going on an overseas trip with her uncles family during this National Day, so theres no chance to play together.

I didnt expect you actually asked her Xia Yuan sat down beside Mei Fang, quite surprised.

Guo Yun is currently the most important artist in our studio, so I have to ask her first!

An art style that is uniquely ones own is a precious asset for a studio. After all, art is a profession where you can immediately tell whether something is eye-catching and appealing or not. No matter how flashy and elaborate the planning and writing is, its not as effective for marketing as having visually impressive and memorable artwork.

So its understandable that later generations have become so intensely competitive in fields of art in ACG, there is a certain logic to it. The money from hardcore otakus is really good money to make.

Of course, Xia Yuan couldnt just be silent when Mei Fang was praising other girls in front of her. In the future, Ill be able to create amazing music too, and youll beg me to compose for you.

Ill be waiting for that, Mei Fang patted Xia Yuans shoulder and then looked at Lin Youxi, who was standing by the station platform, gazing into the distance. Aunt Liang should have boarded the bus by now, right?

Mhm Lin Youxi nodded, then glanced at her watch. Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue will arrive in half an hour.

Its still that long then Ill take a nap for a while.

If youre sleepy, you can lean on me! Xia Yuan patted her shoulder, indicating that Mei Fang could nap beside her. Mei Fangs first instinct was to refuse, thinking about the balance of the water, but as he closed his eyes for a nap, he naturally slid onto Xia Yuans shoulder in no time.

So Xia Yuan carefully adjusted Mei Fangs body, letting him rest comfortably in her embrace.

And this scene happened to be seen by Lin Youxi when she turned around.

I want him to lie more comfortably, Xia Yuan mouthed the words to Lin Youxi.

This shouldnt be considered sneaking around, right?

At this moment, Lin Youxi also sat down beside Xia Yuan and tugged at her arm as if she also wanted to sleep next to her.

Just as she was making room for Lin Youxi, Lin Youxi suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered:

Ah Fang will sleep with you at noon, then with me at night.

W-What?! Xia Yuan panicked, wanting to refute and stop Lin Youxis scary statement, but Lin Youxi gestured with her hand to keep quiet, indicating she should speak softly.

What I meant was that youll be sleeping with me at night, not Ah Fang. I was just teasing you, no need to be so nervous

N-No, Im not nervous Xia Yuan muttered a few words, I-Im just playing along with your act
