Chapter 284

Chapter 284 – Replenishing Energy

Mei Fang had also invited Xia Yuan, who was returning home for the New Year, and Lin You Xi, who had just finished her health check-up, to join them when he took Mei Ya out to play. They arrived one after another at the Cultural Square and met Mei Fang.

After meeting Xia Yuan, she went over to support Peng Xue’s performance. Lin You Xi sat next to Mei Fang, sipping a drink while listening to him talk about the live streaming platform situation.

Seeing that she seemed distracted, Mei Fang asked about her health check-up: “Shouldn’t there be any major issues?”

“The results will only come out tomorrow… But I’m not sure if the health check-up in the county town is reliable. I chose the most expensive package, but it felt very rushed. I’m most worried that something might have been missed. My father still insists on continuing to work…”

Just as Lin You Xi was speaking, Mei Fang held her hand, “Don’t think like that. If everything is fine with the health check-up, that’s great. There will be other ways to persuade Uncle to relax.”

“Like what?”

Lin You Xi sighed softly, “Honestly, besides getting married and having a child so my parents can help take care of the baby, I can’t think of any better way to convince my father to stop working.”

Mei Fang didn’t know how to respond to Lin You Xi’s sudden outburst, and Mei Ya put down her skewers and clapped excitedly:

“Great! That means I can have nieces and nephews to play with! I’ll teach them like You Xi taught me!”

“What are you thinking!”

Mei Fang tapped his sister’s head, then turned to Lin You Xi and said, “In short, worrying now won’t help. We need to wait for the health check-up results before we can decide on our next steps.”

“Um… That’s true…”

Lin You Xi enjoyed the feeling of holding hands with Mei Fang, and gently whispered by his side, “We haven’t been intimate all day.”

“Oh… Yeah, later.”

“Why are you two whispering? It’s so rude, I want to hear too!”

“Children shouldn’t listen!”

Mei Ya was pushed away by her brother Mei Fang.

Although Mei Fang hadn’t told his sister about the three-person arrangement, he tacitly acknowledged that she already knew. After all, she was the first to give him advice on how to make the three-person arrangement work, and since they communicated frequently with Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi, there wasn’t much he needed to hide from her.

As Mei Fang was chatting happily with Lin You Xi, he suddenly noticed that the crowd around Peng Xue was growing noisy.

“Is there a celebrity there? I heard Yuan Yuan is here!”

“Go get an autograph!”

“Yuan Yuan is really from our Bai Mei County?”

Seeing this, Mei Fang realized that Xia Yuan’s identity had been exposed. He immediately squeezed through the crowd, rescued Xia Yuan from the crowd who were asking for autographs, and then pushed forward, clearing the path.

“What’s going on?”

Xia Yuan explained the situation truthfully under Mei Fang’s questioning: “I wanted to sing a song with Xiao Xue, and someone recognized my voice…”

“You’re a public figure now. Don’t reveal your identity so easily. It could be troublesome.”

Mei Fang helped Xia Yuan into the car, but the crowd continued to follow them, leaving no time to consider Lin You Xi and Mei Ya. Lin You Xi pulled Mei Ya’s hand, nodding at Mei Fang to go first. Mei Fang got on his electric scooter, carrying Xia Yuan away from the Cultural Square.

“Huff… Even just eating and playing around can’t be peaceful. Being a celebrity is such a hassle!”

Xia Yuan muttered, “It was the same during the New Year’s Eve. Relatives and friends kept asking for autographs. I’m not that famous yet, am I?”

“It’s still manageable now, but it might get even more complicated in the future.”

Mei Fang smiled at Xia Yuan, “Maybe we’ll need to hire a security team for you in the future to protect you.”

“Stop joking and drive carefully!”

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang tightly, whispering in his ear, “I haven’t absorbed Super Fang energy all day.”

“You don’t absorb as little as You Xi. We were intimate this morning. She mentioned the same thing.”

“Well, that’s true…”

Xia Yuan hummed, “But since I’m your girlfriend now, I should get more opportunities to be close to you!”

Mei Fang drove Xia Yuan to their residential area. Xia Yuan couldn’t help but comment, “When we were on the street earlier, it felt like fewer people returned home for the New Year this year, and the Cultural Square wasn’t as lively as usual.”

“After all, it’s a small county. Those who can move to big cities have already settled there.”

Mei Fang thought for a moment, “In the end, we’ll probably stay in a big city too.”

“Even so, it’s still more comfortable to spend the New Year at home.”

Xia Yuan spoke softly, “I feel more secure watching familiar scenery, which gives a real sense of the New Year…”

“If we don’t return for a long time and find that familiar streets have changed, wouldn’t it lose its charm?”

“Yes… The environment changes, and so do people.”

Xia Yuan leaned against Mei Fang’s back, “But as long as we remember how it used to be and the memories we’ve made there, that sense of security will always be with us, never fading away.”

“That means we need to buy a big house in Bai Mei County, apart from the seaside villa and the urban penthouse.”

Mei Fang lightly pinched Xia Yuan’s nose, and Xia Yuan covered her nose, muttering, “Hey, that’s not what I meant!”

“But we could afford it. Houses in Bai Mei County are cheap.”

“Just because we have money doesn’t mean we can waste it!”

Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang and then drew circles on his chest, “But buying a house in Bai Mei County isn’t just because it’s cheap; we need it.”

“Indeed… If we’re going to host guests locally, we’ll need a place to entertain them.”

“Thinking so far ahead!”

“What are you thinking?”

“I was thinking that Bai Mei County is our hometown, where our children should be born and grow up. I want to show them where their parents fell in love, give them a place to cherish, so no matter where they wander in the future, they will always remember this place…”

“You think even further than me!”

After dropping off Xia Yuan, Mei Fang went to find Lin You Xi and Mei Ya. Lin You Xi sent a message saying she had taken Mei Ya to the model airplane toy store she had always wanted to visit.

Arriving at the store, Mei Fang saw Lin You Xi patiently helping Mei Ya pick out an aviation model, their relationship seeming as close as sisters.

Seeing Mei Fang, Lin You Xi whispered something to Mei Ya, then walked outside alone.

Before Mei Fang could speak, she grabbed his hand and led him to a secluded corner outside the store. They embraced and spent some intimate moments together.
