Chapter 110 – Of Course, I Have No Problem
In Guo Yun’s eyes, Mei Fang had always been the most popular boy in class. He was good-looking, had many friends around him, excelled academically, and was quite familiar with the class monitor, Lin You Xi.
So she never expected Mei Fang to take the initiative to talk to her. When Mei Fang called out to her, she was stunned for a moment before realizing he was calling her, which made both of them feel a bit awkward.
“Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.”
Mei Fang and Tang Yu moved their seats aside, and Guo Yun carefully walked past them. Due to her weight, she had to shift their seats slightly, almost knocking over Mei Fang’s cup, causing his ears to turn red.
“It’s fine, I’ll move it. You can go out first.”
Guo Yun hurried out of the classroom. As Mei Fang stood up, he noticed Lin You Xi reading a novel and peeked at its content.
[There’s a childhood friend named Hu Xingxing who has caused him no small amount of trouble since they were young. One day, the childhood friend asked him for help. Hu Xingxing agreed right away.]
[The slow-moving summer childhood friend slowly took out a script: “There’s a kissing scene tomorrow, my screen debut kiss. I have no experience, let’s practice together.”]
[Without much thought, Hu Xingxing agreed.]
Mei Fang was greatly shocked after reading just a few lines. At the same time, Lin You Xi sensed his gaze and quickly closed the book, coldly staring at him.
“What is it?”
“Not really, what novel were you reading just now?”
“What novel? You didn’t see anything.”
Lin You Xi calmly stared at Mei Fang, but Mei Fang could sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from her. He immediately surrendered.
“Alright… I didn’t see anything…”
“Never sneak a look at me again. Considering this is your first offense, I’ll forgive you this time.”
Lin You Xi laid down three rules with Mei Fang, “If you need to talk to me in the future, you should poke me first, like how I used to do to you.”
“Alright… no problem.”
Reading such inappropriate content every day, is it safe for me, as a childhood friend, to be alone with You Xi?
It seems I not only have to guard against Yuan Yuan crossing the line…
Mei Fang nodded in agreement, feeling a sorrowful sense that his You Xi was being corrupted by web novels for the first time.
This was an era when web novels were popular. People usually read web novels or youth magazines to relieve stress. Boys loved reading fantasy books like *Purple River*, *God’s Tomb*, *Soldier of Fortune*, *Seven Kingdoms Legend*. Girls were obsessed with ancient and modern romantic stories.
Painful literature was one of the few common interests between boys and girls. Works like *Three Gates*, *His Country*, *Sorrow Flows Backwards*, and *Tiny Times* were among the most popular borrowed books.
Even though copying ideas was all they could do, Mei Fang, after being reborn, once considered writing web novels. But then he realized that web novel authors had no status, earned little money before their work became popular, and had to update regularly, sometimes even working year-round.
Worse still, besides suffering from typing, they were constantly criticized in the comment section by readers, some of whom would even curse the author’s family, subjecting them to mental torture.
Such a job, Mei Fang thought, was worse than being a slave.
No wonder few protagonists in web novels returned to write novels after being reborn.
Guo Yun rarely initiated interactions with others. Mei Fang noticed she often waited until her two left-side classmates got up before leaving her seat herself. Even so, she was often criticized by Yu Lin and Li Danning, and could only apologize frequently, occasionally asking Mei Fang to pass something.
This was due to unreasonable seating arrangements, but there were too many students in the classroom, and compulsory education couldn’t be neglected. It was truly unavoidable.
To address the current issue, one day Guo Yun brought some chocolate snacks and shared them with those around her, but her group’s girls did not appreciate it.
She wanted to share with Tang Yu, who was engrossed in studying and ignored her when she spoke to him.
Only Mei Fang would approach Guo Yun when he saw the chocolate.
“Woah, this is expensive Dorf chocolate.”
Mei Fang pretended to be surprised, smiling at Guo Yun. “Guo Yun, you’re so generous.”
“Take more… if you like it, take it all.”
“I can’t eat that much… Can I give some to others?”
“Sure! Give it to whoever you want.”
Guo Yun seemed happy.
Mei Fang then distributed the chocolates he got from Guo Yun to Lin You Xi, being careful not to offend her. To avoid offending her, he politely poked her first.
“This is chocolate Guo Yun offered us, I’m sharing some with you.”
“I’ll take one.”
Lin You Xi took the chocolate from Mei Fang and glanced at Guo Yun, nodding at her.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome! Do you want more? I have more.”
“No, I only need one.”
Guo Yun was very happy.
Mei Fang and Lin You Xi’s affectionate interaction triggered Yue Xinyi’s sugar-radar, who turned around and noticed everyone eating chocolate. She couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Oh, you still have some! I need to replenish my sugar, can I have one?”
“I have some, here you go.”
Mei Fang gave Yue Xinyi all the chocolates, “These are from Guo Yun.”
“Oh! Thank you.”
Yue Xinyi smiled at Guo Yun, who scratched her head bashfully.
Mei Fang deliberately introduced Lin You Xi and Yue Xinyi to Guo Yun, making Yue Xinyi chat with Guo Yun more frequently. She became the only girl who would initiate conversations with Guo Yun.
However, this behavior annoyed Tang Yu, who was focused on studying, as it disturbed his learning environment.
One day, he approached Li Shibing and requested a seat change. He didn’t explicitly express his dissatisfaction, stating instead that it would make it easier for Guo Yun to enter and exit. He disliked having to get up frequently, disrupting his concentration.
Li Shibing naturally wouldn’t agree to Tang Yu’s request based on that reason. He talked to Mei Fang and Zhang Ming, asking for their opinions.
After all, this involved changing groups, and as group leaders and top students, Li Shibing trusted them and wanted to know if there was any conflict between Tang Yu and Guo Yun.
“Guo Yun… I don’t pay much attention to her. I think she’s okay?” Zhang Ming scratched his head, “She’s just a bit introverted and doesn’t talk much, so she seems a bit isolated.”
Mei Fang thought to himself, “You only ever interact with your group leader Lu Xueqing, helping her with problems. When did you start paying attention to us?”
Mei Fang shook his head and told Li Shibing what he knew, including how the girls in Zhang Ming’s group didn’t like Guo Yun.
“Really? They haven’t quarreled, I think such friction is normal. Sitting in the innermost seats is indeed inconvenient.”
“There’s no other way. Our classroom is this size. Given the situation, I think switching seats between Tang Yu and Guo Yun is fine. He probably just wants to focus on his studies. I’ll talk to Guo Yun if you have no objections.”
“Me? Of course, I have no problem…”
Usually, Yuan Yuan would get jealous if I sat next to a girl. Although this might be offensive, Guo Yun should be fine, haha.
So Mei Fang nodded and said, “I can sit next to Guo Yun, no problem.”
I successfully kept my promise, yay!
