Chapter 186

Chapter 186 – I Miss You Too ——

Mei Fang explained his statement:

“If you must ask why, it’s because what I sent was a completely bug-free code.”

“Even though this code is quite long, as long as he were to compile it himself, or if he had enough programming experience, a glance from a professional would be enough to understand that there’s no room for modification. It would only take a simple reply, not requiring him to wait so long and actually provide a revised version.”

After hearing this, Mei Yue blushed deeply and felt extremely indignant:

“I don’t really understand all of that, but in short… in your opinion, his computer programming skills are completely inadequate, right?”

“I’m still a beginner in programming, but in my view, it’s like this—personally, I think someone who can’t even tell that 1+1 equals 2 cannot possibly learn multiplication. That’s just how simple it is. Of course, there’s always a chance of an exception…”

“Do you have more programming problems? Give me a few more to look at; ones that can’t be found online… give me some easy ones, and write the answers too.”

“No problem, I can give them to you tomorrow.”

Seeing her sister pout as if she might cry, Mei Fang took the initiative to comfort Mei Yue:

“Sister Yueyue, if that guy is really deceiving you, don’t be too upset. Just treat it as a lesson…”

“I’m upset? I’m not upset… anyway, we haven’t officially started dating… it’s good to see through him now… yeah, it’s good, ha ha.”

As she spoke, tears suddenly started streaming down her face.

Mei Fang’s sister was always prone to emotional outbursts and impulsive actions. Seeing her so sad, Mei Fang couldn’t help but recall her past experiences and walked over to gently pat her back in comfort.

“It’s okay, Sister Yueyue, it’s okay… at least my younger brother will always support you. I’ll always be on your side.”

Mei Yue wiped her tears while nodding and then gave Mei Fang a big hug.

“You’re the best, Xiao Fangzi… men outside are too unreliable.”

“That’s not entirely true. Sister Yueyue, with your kindness, you will surely meet someone decent and genuine someday.”

After Mei Fang’s reassurance, Mei Yue’s emotions stabilized somewhat: “Then, I’ll count on you to help me vet them in the future…”

“No problem!” Mei Fang made the OK sign.

Since he already knew about the scoundrel’s background from a previous life, Mei Fang easily dealt with him using his technical advantage without even meeting him.

Mei Yue again questioned her potential boyfriend about coding-related issues, which led to his dissatisfaction.

After they argued, he arrogantly claimed he had many other superior options and didn’t care much for her;

Mei Fang, in turn, documented various incriminating screenshots and submitted them to the official platform.

Due to Mei Fang’s QQ account being a prestigious Xin Yue V3 member, he quickly received notification that the scoundrel’s long-time QQ account was permanently banned.

Afterwards, Mei Yue promptly blocked all contact with him, effectively severing ties with her past self.

The speed at which this issue was resolved exceeded Mei Fang’s expectations, but for him, seeing his cousin happy was enough.

Additionally, since their relationship hadn’t developed yet, Mei Yue appeared rather carefree and didn’t struggle with breaking off the connection.

She grieved for two or three days before bouncing back and showing great interest in her cousin’s endeavors.

Xiao Meiya, Mei Fang’s youngest sister, naturally shared many past events with her cousin under the temptation of red envelopes.

This made Mei Yue eager to return to Bai Mei County to meet her cousin’s little green plum.

For Mei Fang, waiting in Bai Zhou to return home seemed like an eternity. He spent his days either doing homework or preparing for new projects, or being tormented by his sudden appearance.

His cousin’s company alleviated the pressure from his sister and gave him plenty of time to respond to messages from the little green plum.

Xia Yuan was the one who messaged Mei Fang the most. She almost used his private chat window as a diary, recording daily activities and sending photos for him to share:

January 10th

– Spent the whole day doing homework, physics has a lot of problems.

– Had dinner at You Xi’s place.

January 11th

– Started learning to cook from You Xi.

– Photo of Xia Yuan wearing an apron, looking shyly embarrassed while preparing to cook.

– You Xi was secretly taking pictures of me; she’s really bad!

January 12th

– It’s so cold today, I don’t want to move.

– Are you cold too, Afang?

– Calm expression of Xia Yuan staring at the screen.

January 13th

– Had dinner at You Xi’s place.

– I must have inherited my mom’s cooking genes.

– I understand why Dad opened a hotel.

January 14th

– Xiao Xue came to play today.

– Her new bass is great, but it feels weird knowing Afang bought it for her…

– I taught Xiao Xue to play “Plain Face” together, it went well.

January 15th

– Photo of Xia Yuan’s big eyes.

– What are you doing, Afang?

– Xiao Xue came to play again today.

– Photo of Xia Yuan and Peng Xue together.

– Afang, I love you so much! I truly adore you!

– So when are we getting married?

– Those words were from Xiao Xue! I’ve already beaten her up, don’t worry.

January 16th

– Went to buy lots of fireworks with You Xi, to release with Xiao Ya.

– The long ordeal is finally over!

– I meant the homework, not you!

– Forget it, hurry back, I need super energy!

Sometimes Mei Fang wouldn’t reply immediately due to work or homework, but he would answer every message after seeing the content. Xia Yuan, on the other hand, always replied instantly.

Lin You Xi was naturally less reserved than Xia Yuan; she would call Mei Fang directly.

Once a day, for half an hour each time, at exactly seven to seven thirty in the evening.

They talked about work, about homework.

When they couldn’t find suitable topics, Mei Fang would sing for her, or she would sing for him, followed by updates on their current situations.

“So, how is your cousin doing now?”

“She’s fine… nothing serious anymore.”

“That’s good. Glad our code helped her.”

Lin You Xi smiled: “I bet this scoundrel learned his lesson and won’t try to pass himself off as a coding expert next time, maybe as a product manager instead.”

“Yeah… calling someone a product manager isn’t exactly flattering.”

“Speaking of which, our Afang is also a scoundrel…”

“What do you mean, me?”

Lin You Xi didn’t say much on the phone, pausing for a moment before continuing:

“Are you coming back the day after tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Xia Yuan and I bought a lot of fireworks, waiting for you and Xiao Ya to come back and set them off.”

“Mmm…”

“Why are you just saying ‘mhm’? Say something else.”

“Uh…” Mei Fang quickly laughed and changed the subject, “We haven’t seen each other for nearly ten days, you and Xia Yuan must miss me, right? Haha!”

“Yes, I miss you.”

Lin You Xi’s response was concise and clear:

“I miss you very much.”

“And you?”

Mei Fang didn’t expect Lin You Xi to throw a curveball.

But given her reputation as the famous class monitor, such a move was within his expectations.

“Of course, like you all.”

“I miss you too—”

Mei Fang paused briefly:

“Us?”

“Now you know why I said you were a scoundrel,” Lin You Xi said with a smile on the phone.

“I know.”

Mei Fang responded with a smile.

Through their prolonged interactions, they had developed a certain level of understanding. This made Mei Fang realize that You Xi, this little green plum, might already be starting to see through his thoughts.

Second update, there’s one more later.
