Chapter 221

Chapter 221: The Other Side of Sunrise

Under the encouragement of a series of misunderstandings by Liu Xiaoyu, Xia Yuan took the initiative to propose to Lin You Xi about being honest regarding their secret training when watching the sunrise with Mei Fang, and also proposed a compensation plan for Lin You Xi—

She should also kiss Fang.

It was evident that Xia Yuan was suffering greatly from guilt due to the early departure.

However, she did not know that on the previous evening, when Lin You Xi was being intimate with Mei Fang, she had first confessed something to Mei Fang:

In fact, on that night when they were cuddling in bed, You Xi had already seen the chat records between Mei Fang and Xia Yuan.

That’s why she could be so unrestrainedly intimate with Mei Fang after that.

After informing Mei Fang of this matter, she also instructed him to confess to Yuan Yuan.

So when Mei Fang faced Xia Yuan’s proposal, he also told her the truth.

“…So, you and You Xi had already kissed before, right!”

Xia Yuan’s expression showed great shock, “Was it you who initiated it, or was it You Xi? And… When did it happen?”

“You Xi initiated it,” Mei Fang paused, “I’ve told you that it was my first time with you, naturally it would be after that…with You Xi.”

“I didn’t say I doubted that it wasn’t your first kiss… Also, you’re too despicable!”

Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang repeatedly, “Why did you tell me this only now! Why didn’t you say it earlier!”

“Earlier, how do you think I should have said it?”

Mei Fang helplessly endured Xia Yuan’s punches as he held her close, continuing to endure.

“You are both very important to me, and equally so. I… I don’t know how to say it, but I know I can’t let either of you down. But since I accepted doing this with you, I couldn’t ignore You Xi’s request… She just did it because she accidentally saw our chat records, do you understand what I mean?”

If Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi had never met, if Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi hadn’t developed such deep bonds with Mei Fang together,

At this moment, Xia Yuan would surely cry out in anger at Mei Fang, accusing him of being a scoundrel, as he had let them both down.

But they had grown up together since childhood, knowing each other inside and out.

So when Xia Yuan saw Mei Fang’s sorrowful expression, she felt heartache instead.

“It wasn’t your fault… If I must say, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have forced you like that back then… Oh well, talking about this now serves no purpose.”

Xia Yuan leaned against Mei Fang, gently lifting her hand to support his cheek, turning sideways to look at his lips.

“Since we both did something wrong, I feel less burdened. Let’s… watch the sunrise and calm down!”

Under the sunlight, Xia Yuan took the initiative to kiss Mei Fang, and Mei Fang cooperated, resulting in an unforgettable sunrise viewing experience for both of them.

After their intimacy, people around them started to gather, and Xia Yuan and Mei Fang began their journey back.

At this point, Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan, “Well… I want to ask you, Yuan Yuan, are you going to talk to You Xi about this?”

“To talk about this…?”

Xia Yuan blushed and shook her head, “Although both of us are at fault, I was the one who left early and took your first kiss, so how can I face You Xi and talk about this?”

“Are you planning to pretend you don’t know?”

“If You Xi is pretending she doesn’t know, then I’ll cooperate with her… By the way, did she seem angry when she told you about that incident?”

“No… At that time…” Mei Fang scratched his head, “It’s a bit complicated to explain, but she won’t blame you. Knowing that much is enough. Would she still treat you this well if she blamed you?”

“Mm… That’s true.”

“And if we must say someone is at fault, it’s my fault! We weren’t even lovers, yet I accepted you two doing this…”

Mei Fang supported his forehead with a very pained expression, “If it weren’t for how cute you and You Xi are, and how much I like you both, how could I—”

Fang is really a traditional and conservative guy.

Being forced into this situation by You Xi and me, he must have gone through a lot of pain and struggle.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s head, “Alright, alright… Don’t dwell on it… Since it has happened, we haven’t blamed you, so let’s face it squarely.”

“Phew…”

…

The more Xia Yuan comforted Mei Fang, the more she felt something was off.

How could it feel like Fang was the one who was wronged?

But saying it that way didn’t seem wrong…

After all, Xia Yuan was the one who first crossed the line, from flirting to wanting to kiss Mei Fang directly, which Mei Fang firmly refused.

Mei Fang is the kind of person who gives in easily, not stubborn. Xia Yuan’s initiative for a kiss was not accepted, but seeing her almost crying, he compromised to comfort her, and Xia Yuan couldn’t call him a scoundrel.

As for Lin You Xi, Mei Fang was also in a passive position.

If he accepted Xia Yuan but not Lin You Xi, did it mean he wanted to completely abandon You Xi and Xia Yuan together?

Xia Yuan didn’t want Mei Fang to think that way, and Mei Fang himself didn’t have such thoughts.

That’s why he gave You Xi a chance.

It seemed reasonable, but something still felt off…

When they returned to the group at the end of the gathering, everyone was whispering about their separate sunrise watching activities, but apart from complaining to Bingbing, everyone else understood tacitly.

Especially for Lin You Xi.

When Xia Yuan and Mei Fang first met Lin You Xi after their mutual confessions, she greeted Xia Yuan as usual, acting as if nothing had happened.

“Was the sunrise beautiful?”

“Yeah… It was pretty beautiful.”

Xia Yuan had initially thought that You Xi had been hiding the truth from her for so long, which was really mean.

But seeing her smile, Xia Yuan remembered the team-building games You Xi prepared for her yesterday, and that she was actually the first to leave, so she had no face to say anything.

She chatted with You Xi,挽起了林有兮的胳膊 (took Lin You Xi’s arm), and soon started to hug her as usual.

…

Seeing the two of them return to their original relationship, Mei Fang sighed in relief. This spring outing had been quite eventful for him.

First, he learned from You Xi that she had known about him and Yuan Yuan’s early departure. Then, he had to tell Yuan Yuan about his early departure with You Xi.

His improvised speech was rushed but sincere, as he had indeed not made any mistakes or expressed a preference during their early departures. The biggest issue might be that he kissed Yuan Yuan first, but You Xi didn’t seem to be fixated on her first kiss.

Moreover, what You Xi did went beyond just a simple kiss…

In summary, after everyone’s efforts, Mei Fang managed to conclude a memorable spring outing.

Afterward, life continued as usual for the three of them, seemingly as if nothing had happened before. Secret training-level intimacy rarely had practical opportunities, and super energy remained the same.

If there was anything that felt particularly different,

Mei Fang felt that Liu Xiaoyu seemed to be distancing herself from him actively.

Her relationships with Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi remained as close as ever, but she barely spoke to him normally, always leaving when they were alone.

It seemed she still misunderstood him as a scoundrel…

Mei Fang didn’t think too much about it; if she couldn’t accept him, he understood. After all, she was just friends with Yuan Yuan and You Xi, at most a comrade in the Same Milk Studio, nothing more. Mei Fang could only express deep regret.

In the days that followed, besides daily life and studies, Mei Fang temporarily set aside the development of “Cloud Journey.” He focused on assisting Xia Yuan in completing the creation of her upcoming new album.

Damn, I can’t finish writing by 12. There will be another chapter update after 12.
