Chapter 194

Chapter 194: We Can’t Study Together

  ”Isn’t this completely transparent? This middle layer is frosted glass; you can’t see inside from outside, and it covers most of the body.”

Lin You Xi caressed the bathroom’s glass wall while talking to the two of them.

“But it’s almost as good as clear… you can still see through the light,” Xia Yuan muttered nearby.

“Speaking of which, if you don’t trust me, why not just have one person bathe while the other supervises? That way, there’s no need for both of you to wash together.”

Mei Fang proposed what he thought was an acceptable solution. However, as soon as he finished speaking, both Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi fell silent.

Xia Yuan pursed her lips and looked around nervously, while Lin You Xi stared at Mei Fang with a cold expression. When their eyes met, she quickly averted her gaze.

…

What do you mean?! Are you saying I’m not reliable?

“There’s no issue with trust. It’s been so many years… we’ve seen each other before.”

Xia Yuan mumbled, “Back in kindergarten, when Ah Fang had an accident and needed help changing, everyone saw him anyway…”

“That’s true, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Lin You Xi nodded and gestured with her hands, “Speaking of which… he was just that small back then.”

“You two are going to keep talking about things from when we were six! Are you going to remember that forever… I give up!”

Mei Fang blushed and shouted, trying to stop them from continuing.

Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi planned to undress and take a bath together, while Mei Fang faced away, playing with his phone.

The sounds of them undressing were minimal, and Mei Fang never turned around until he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. He slowly lifted his head.

Although Mei Fang felt a bit excited hearing the water, he maintained his gentlemanly behavior. He kept his back to them and continued playing on his phone, constantly messaging Zhang Ming to ask if he was studying properly.

Then, Xia Yuan’s voice came from the bathroom:

“Afang, come here!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I forgot to bring the shower cap, could you pass it to me?”

“Do you really need a shower cap… can’t you manage without it?”

“Stop talking nonsense and hurry up.”

Mei Fang rummaged through Xia Yuan’s bag.

Shower cap, shower cap, shower cap…

Is this it?

As Mei Fang took out the shower cap, something small slipped out unintentionally.

When Mei Fang picked up the fallen item and looked at it, his face immediately turned red—

Why did I bring along the chewing gum given during high school education class?

What is she thinking! Really…

Mei Fang stuffed the chewing gum back into Xia Yuan’s bag and then, covering his eyes, turned his back to hand over the shower cap.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, yes.”

Mei Fang always turned his back while handing things over, and Xia Yuan could see clearly from outside the bathroom.

She was both angry and fond. Angry at Afang for being so helpless, but also fond because her childhood friend was genuinely clean and innocent, with no ill intentions.

“I put it by the door, right?”

“I can’t reach, could you pass it to me?”

Mei Fang turned around and searched for Xia Yuan’s hand, finally passing her the shower cap.

Then, Mei Fang sat quietly on the bed far from the bathroom, looking down at his phone. Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi spoke softly in the bathroom, occasionally laughing lightly.

After a while, the sound of the shower stopped. Mei Fang waited for a moment, then felt the bed sink in one direction and someone poking his back.

Mei Fang glanced back and saw Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi wrapped in bathrobes, barefoot, kneeling on the bed, smiling at him.

…

“Did you peek, Afang?”

Mei Fang shook his head, raising both hands, “I didn’t look—”

“Now you see!”

As soon as Mei Fang finished speaking, Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi almost simultaneously threw off their bathrobes, revealing themselves. Startled, Mei Fang quickly covered his eyes and turned away, causing the two girls to burst into continuous laughter.

“Hahaha, Afang, your reaction was so funny hahaha…”

Mei Fang looked closely and noticed that the two girls were wearing pajamas under their bathrobes, which made him furious, “You’re grown women, how can you be so shameless!”

“It’s just Afang, what’s there to be ashamed of…”

Xia Yuan was someone who took advantage of weakness, and the more Mei Fang appeared uncomfortable, the bolder she became. She reached out and pinched Mei Fang’s earlobe, then gently pushed him up, saying,

“It’s your turn to bathe now. But let me warn you, I won’t guarantee I won’t peek.”

“…You wouldn’t dare.”

Mei Fang didn’t believe Xia Yuan had such capability.

He took out his change of clothes from his bag and turned to look at Lin You Xi, who had been watching him.

“Listen, you’re not allowed to look either, and you’re definitely not allowed to suddenly barge in, got it?”

“What do you take me for?”

Lin You Xi frowned at Mei Fang, looking slightly annoyed, which made Mei Fang feel like he might have gone too far.

Youxi was bold, but she wouldn’t really do anything, right?

Most of the time, it was just a formality, or she knew I would make sure it stopped there…

Mei Fang carefully washed himself, mostly turning his back to avoid eye contact with the girls.

When he finished bathing and changed into the hotel’s robe, he saw Lin You Xi and Xia Yuan sitting cross-legged on the bed reading.

“What are you reading? Are you really going to study?”

“We said we’d come to study. This is a second-year textbook, math required course 7.”

Lin You Xi showed Mei Fang her book. After Mei Fang nodded, he went to sit on a chair nearby.

…

There seems to be something on the seat.

Mei Fang pulled out a pair of black sheer stockings from behind him. He had a habit of smelling socks or underwear to check if they were his. In a moment of absent-mindedness, he brought them close to his nose, and then heard a click—the sound of a camera shutter.

Lin You Xi caught this moment with her camera, while Xia Yuan curiously watched Mei Fang with her chin resting on her hand.

“Afang is a pervert, secretly sniffing girls’ stockings in the room.”

“No, wait… this…”

Mei Fang held the stockings, “Are these yours? I haven’t seen you wear them before. I thought maybe they were left by the last guest or something…”

“No matter what, you shouldn’t have taken them and smelled them. Afang, you’re really a pervert.”

Xia Yuan made a face at Mei Fang, while Lin You Xi added, “These are my stockings, I haven’t worn them yet because they’re new. But now they’ve been sniffed by Afang, they’re not clean anymore.”

“That’s ridiculous! Give me back the stockings, delete the photo.”

“Delete the photo? Dream on.”

Xia Yuan crossed her arms, “Unless you apologize sincerely to us.”

“Let me tell you, I’ve already been very accommodating. Don’t push your luck… I’m warning you, I’m a 16-year-old boy, I can do anything.”

Mei Fang’s threatening words made Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi laugh.

Seeing them laughing, an infuriated Mei Fang immediately climbed onto the bed to grab the phone and delete the evidence of his new misdeed. Lin You Xi stretched out her arm, and Xia Yuan held onto Mei Fang, preventing him from moving. Mei Fang retaliated by tickling Xia Yuan, making her roll around on the bed.

At this moment, Lin You Xi hid the phone and started retaliating against Xia Yuan. She reached into Mei Fang’s robe, causing Mei Fang to slow down. Xia Yuan seized the opportunity to escape Mei Fang’s reach, stepping lightly on Mei Fang’s face to block his attack.

…

“Stop, stop… let’s call a truce.”

After some commotion, Mei Fang, overwhelmed by the situation, finally surrendered. Lying flat in the middle, he breathed heavily, while Xia Yuan lay on the bed, propping her cheek on her hand, gently pinching his face to enjoy the warmth. Lin You Xi put on the long stockings Mei Fang had sniffed earlier, seemingly unbothered.

“It feels like we’re back to the days of playing together as kids,” Xia Yuan smiled with her eyes closed, “It’s so nostalgic!”

“Nonsense,” Mei Fang disliked this idea, “You two weren’t so rowdy when you were little. Yuan was a well-behaved angel, never doing anything bad; Youxi, although more lively, was still more obedient than now…”

“What rules am I breaking? What rules are you referring to?”

Lin You Xi finished tying her hair and lay down, placing her hand on Mei Fang’s chest, gently patting it while asking him questions. The simultaneous attention from both made Mei Fang feel uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject:

“What time is it now?”

“It’s only seven o’clock, still early.”

Xia Yuan pulled out the tangled blankets, “Why don’t we lie down and rest for a bit?”

“What about studying?”

“We’ve already read the books, we’re done!”

Xia Yuan spread out the blankets, and Lin You Xi caught one corner.

“Well… I think this isn’t appropriate.”

Mei Fang scratched his nose, “Although I promised you that the wish coupons could be used somewhat freely, doing such things together is…”

“Just treat it as reminiscing about our childhood! I don’t find it embarrassing.”

I’m such a bad girl, always using sweet talk to deceive our Afang…

Xia Yuan felt guilty as she arranged her pillow after lying down.

She hugged Mei Fang’s arm and then lay on her side, closing her eyes.

“Now we can turn off the lights and sleep.”

“Who should set the alarm…”

Before Mei Fang finished speaking, Lin You Xi had already turned off the lights.

“I set the alarm, no problem.”

Although Mei Fang was worried whether Lin You Xi had actually done it, since the girls weren’t speaking, he didn’t want to ask again.

Let’s leave it at that for now…

Even though the streets were bustling during the holiday, the even breathing of the three of them could still be clearly heard in the room. Yuan liked leaning on his shoulder, while Youxi pressed half of her body against him, the friction of her new stockings particularly noticeable.

In such a situation, Mei Fang dared not move.

Under such circumstances, he couldn’t suppress anything. If he could, it would be a miracle.

Fortunately, both of them were relatively well-behaved today and hadn’t done anything that would make Mei Fang lose control.

However, after a while, Mei Fang began to regret his previous words.

First, he reached out to hold someone’s leg, then his neck was rubbed by another person in a dream-like state—

It seems, tonight’s battle has just begun…

The excellent reincarnator, Mei Fang, struggled desperately amidst various great difficulties.

Wish coupons are interesting.

I won’t write any more.

Apologies, writing this chapter made me feel emotional. I’ll go take a shower first.
