Chapter 229: Super Popular Idol Yuan Yuan-chan

The phone call with Peng Xue strengthened Xia Yuan’s resolve to add a little fun to their daily life and enhance her appeal to Mei Fang.

Mei Fang, in his past life, was a hardcore otaku, a trait he retained after being reborn. This was one of the reasons for his commitment to reviving Bilibili.

When he was in elementary school, he nostalgically revisited many series, such as Kamen Rider Kuuga and Ultraman Tiga. He also watched anime like Cardcaptor Sakura, Mashin Hero Wataru, and Cat’s Eye. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi also enjoyed these shows and improved their tastes alongside Mei Fang.

Once everyone had computers at home, Mei Fang started recommending anime masterpieces to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. Under his subtle influence, they watched countless series from a young age. While they couldn’t be considered hardcore otakus, they were familiar with many common anime references.

Because of this, Xia Yuan had a good idea of what Mei Fang, as a true otaku, would expect and enjoy.

Hmm…

One day, Mei Fang was focused on writing a project document at home when someone suddenly covered his eyes from behind.

“Guess who!”

The slightly flirtatious tone was a change from her usual voice, but only Xia Yuan would do something this childish. He could also tell from the warmth of her hands.

“Hmm… let me think——”

Mei Fang wasn’t surprised by Xia Yuan’s antics. Instead, he played along. “Wow, these hands are so soft and warm. It must be Yuan Yuan, right?”

“Uh-uh… not entirely correct.”

“What do you mean by ‘not entirely correct’?”

Mei Fang pulled Xia Yuan’s hands down and saw her dressed in the sailor uniform she had worn in the album’s promotional video. Meeting his eyes, she blushed and stared at him shyly.

“Today, I am the super popular idol, Yuan Yuan-chan!”

“……”

Mei Fang didn’t expect Xia Yuan to suddenly do something like this. Her embarrassing and chuunibyou-like self-introduction left him momentarily speechless, while Xia Yuan gradually turned red from ear to ear, feeling like she was about to die from embarrassment.

He gently patted Xia Yuan’s shoulder, speaking with a tone of sorrow and regret.

“I’m sorry, Yuan Yuan. Have you been under too much pressure making game music lately? I didn’t mean to push you so hard. If it’s too difficult to meet my needs, I can outsource the work. It’s no big deal, and I won’t blame you.”

Hearing that her job might be taken away, Xia Yuan was instantly furious. “Why outsource when you have a musician at home?! Isn’t that a waste of money? My skills can meet your needs!”

“Moreover, you’re dealing with a super popular idol now. Don’t talk about work; get into the role,” Xia Yuan muttered, pinching Mei Fang’s cheeks. “Didn’t you notice how special Yuan Yuan is today?”

“How could I not notice… If I specifically mention that you’re wearing an ultra-short skirt and white tights, wouldn’t that make me seem like a pervert?”

“You don’t need to worry about your image with me. Everyone knows you’re a big pervert.”

Xia Yuan murmured as she cupped Mei Fang’s cheeks, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have——”

“Wouldn’t have what?”

“Wouldn’t have bought this outfit, right?” Xia Yuan tucked her hair behind her ear. “Of course, the main reason is that I like it. The fact that you like it is just a bonus.”

“Well, that’s good.”

Mei Fang nodded. “Aunt Meijuan went shopping with Youxi, so you can wear this outfit at home and have some fun.”

“Having fun alone isn’t much fun…”

Xia Yuan squeezed Mei Fang’s shoulders and softly asked, “Ah Fang… if you’re not too busy, can you spend some time with me today?”

“Sure, what do you want to do?”

Mei Fang initially thought Xia Yuan wanted to wear this outfit for a secret training session, so he leaned in towards Xia Yuan’s face while talking. Xia Yuan instinctively moved closer, but just as they were about to kiss, she remembered her plan and covered Mei Fang’s mouth. “Before that… can you take some pictures of me? Like a cosplay photoshoot.”

“I’m not really good at photography or editing. Wouldn’t it be better to hire a professional?”

“I don’t want any other guys seeing me in this outfit. Even with girls, I’d feel a bit uncomfortable.”

Xia Yuan handed a digital camera to Mei Fang. “It’s okay. These photos are just for us. It doesn’t matter if they look good or not.”

“Alright, where do you want to take the photos?”

“Of course, in my and Youxi’s room.”

Xia Yuan led Mei Fang to the bedroom. She gently closed the door and drew the curtains.

“You’ve blocked all the light. Won’t that make the lighting bad for the photos?”

“Hmm… Ah Fang, you don’t get it. It’s supposed to have this vague, ambiguous feeling.”

Xia Yuan said as she sat on the soft bed. “Ah Fang, let’s… just take a few simple shots first, okay?”

“Mhm. Okay.”

Mei Fang held the camera, searching for the right angle to photograph Xia Yuan. However, this was actually Xia Yuan’s first time doing this, and having her true beauty exposed under her childhood sweetheart’s lens inevitably made her a bit nervous.

She first sat demurely on the edge of the bed, displaying a gentle smile. She then switched to several poses: hands behind her back, tucking her hair, or raising her head to tie her hair up. Mei Fang’s angles were quite typical, mostly half-kneeling from a slightly upward angle or eye-level shots.

“How’s it going… Can I see them?”

“Yeah… take a look.”

Mei Fang sat beside Xia Yuan and showed her the photos. Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “Hmm… these look a bit ordinary. A super popular idol should be more captivating.”

“I think they look great.”

“They have to look great to me! Your photography is decent, Ah Fang, maybe my poses aren’t quite right.”

With that, Xia Yuan climbed onto the bed and beckoned to Mei Fang, “We can take photos on the bed. That way, my tights will be in the shots too. That’s what Ah Fang likes the most.”

“Stop making things up about me…”

“Alright, no more jokes. Come up here and take the photos.”

The next batch of photos was much bolder. Xia Yuan posed lying on the bed with her legs kicking up, sitting in a wariza position, and crawling on all fours for close-ups.

However, Mei Fang was focused solely on taking photos, barely climbing onto the bed.

Xia Yuan was a little discouraged, but she still cared a lot about how Mei Fang had photographed her. While Mei Fang was adjusting the camera, she crawled on all fours to his side.

“Let me see… These look pretty good. Oh, this one is really nice… Ah Fang, you’re actually good at this.”

While complimenting Mei Fang’s photography skills, Xia Yuan suddenly noticed him sneaking a peek at the neckline exposed by her crawling pose. Catching him red-handed, Mei Fang sheepishly rubbed his nose and went back to check the camera.

Mei Fang’s nose-rubbing was a telltale sign of his guilt, which made Xia Yuan very happy.

It’s time to make the next move…

Xia Yuan stood up and put her arm around Mei Fang’s shoulder, making a “heave-ho” sound before saying, “I think these photos are enough for now. Next is Ah Fang’s reward… What reward do you want?”

“What options do I have, Yuan Yuan-chan?”

Mei Fang smiled, playing along with Xia Yuan’s act, clearly enjoying the moment himself.

“Today, Yuan Yuan has only prepared a lap pillow reward. My number one fan, Ah Fang, would you like to try it?”

“Does it cost anything? If it’s free, I’d like to try.”

Mei Fang thought for a moment and then gestured to Xia Yuan, “Actually… if you could pay me a bit for it, that would be even better.”

“You’re getting a bit greedy… little fanboy!”

Xia Yuan, sitting cross-legged, trapped Mei Fang between her legs from behind, preventing him from moving. She then pinched his cheeks, teasing him relentlessly.
