—
【This is Xia Yuan’s diary, which was not written out but actually happened】
【New Year’s Day, visiting relatives, went to play with Fang in the afternoon. I’m going to Jiangcheng to visit my grandmother tomorrow, so I asked Fang for secret training tonight.】
【Second day of the New Year, drove to Jiangcheng to visit my grandmother. Messaged Fang and complained about stuff. Fang said he was playing League of Legends with You Xi, telling me to be quiet… sob sob…】
【Third day of the New Year, returned home, snuggled with Fang, had secret training.】
【Fourth day of the New Year, snuggled with Fang, had secret training.】
【Fifth day of the New Year. Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, how could you be so decadent? Your new album isn’t even finished yet, how can you just think about snuggling with Fang every day? Fang can be snuggled anytime, but there’s still a lot to do for the album. You can’t keep losing to You Xi, you must work hard tomorrow!】
【Sixth day of the New Year, snuggled with Fang, had secret training.】
【Seventh day of the New Year, Fang went to help You Xi with some family matters, so he went out shopping with Xiao Xue. At night, after Fang came back from You Xi’s place, I asked about the progress and snuggled a bit. I wanted to have secret training, but Fang refused, saying he was getting angry so he could only do a simple training.】
…
【Thirteenth day of the New Year.】
Recently, my daughter’s behavior has been a bit abnormal.
Both Xia Xun and Teacher Yu have noticed this.
Usually, when on holiday, she sleeps until around ten in the morning, but these days she gets up at seven or eight in the winter.
And she dresses up early in the morning.
Xia Yuan was prancing around in front of Xia Xun, who was having breakfast, wearing a flowered dress that looked somewhat like a Lolita style princess dress, very cute and charming.
“Dad, do you think I look good in this? Does anything seem odd…”
“Very pretty, you look good in anything.”
“…”
Xia Yuan pouted at Xia Xun, “Dad, you’re too vague, I’ll ask Mom!”
“…”
Xia Xun lowered his head and drank some coffee, becoming more and more depressed as he thought about it.
How could he praise her properly?
But giving advice just makes him feel like he doesn’t understand anything…
After discussing outfits with her mom, Xia Yuan happily changed her outfit and came out. Xia Xun saw that she was even thinner than before and couldn’t help but comment:
“Aren’t you cold?”
“Not cold, not cold, Dad, eat slowly, I’m going out!”
Xia Yuan hurriedly put on her shoes at the door.
“Huh? Wait a minute… Aren’t you eating breakfast?”
“The Pan Ji restaurant on the street opened today, I’m going to have breakfast with Fang and You Xi.”
Xia Yuan bid farewell to her parents and rushed out the door.
Teacher Yu, who was cleaning up the dishes, sighed:
“Our Yuan Yuan is entering adolescence…”
“Even if she’s in adolescence, she still likes that kid Fang.”
Xia Xun sighed, “We’ve known each other for ten years, don’t you ever get tired of it…”
Teacher Yu hit Xia Xun’s head, “How dare you say that? Her personality, it’s all your doing… She started chasing me when we were freshmen.”
Xia Xun held Teacher Yu’s hand, stroking it gently and smiling warmly, “But weren’t you also the one who liked me since freshman year?”
“Nonsense, I didn’t like you back then.”
Seeing Xia Xun’s surprise, Teacher Yu quickly smiled and explained, “I was focused on studying then, you were just second place.”
“That’s true, you really loved studying back then. Even when we went to cafes on dates, you always brought books, saying it was a great place for reading and homework…”
Xia Yuan missed the rare chance to see her parents being affectionate, as she was only thinking about seeing Fang sooner.
Xia Yuan met Fang at the entrance of the neighborhood. As soon as she saw Fang running over, she hugged him familiarly.
“Why do you act like we haven’t seen each other in ages?”
Fang gently pinched Xia Yuan’s nose and leaned in to sniff her cheek, “Did you change your face cream?”
“How did you notice? Fang, are you a dog?”
Xia Yuan smiled and moved her cheek closer to Fang, “Want to try it?”
“This is the entrance, Uncle Security isn’t blind.”
“Hahaha, just teasing you, you got so worked up—”
Just as Xia Yuan spoke, Fang kissed her on the cheek, startling Xia Yuan and causing her to slap him a few times.
“Stupid Fang, how dare you!”
“You chose it.”
Fang grinned and pinched Xia Yuan’s nose, “You’re wearing a new Lolita dress today?”
“Yes, yes, do you think it looks good?”
Fang smiled, “It looks good, of course it does. Our Yuan Yuan looks good in anything.”
Hearing this, Xia Yuan’s cheeks turned red, “What ‘our Yuan Yuan’? Smooth talker, shameless.”
Xia Yuan and Fang walked down the street to meet You Xi.
“By the way, did Yueyue go back last night? She said goodbye on QQ.”
“Yeah… Everything here is settled, she needs to go back to work.”
After dealing with the old house demolition, the Mei Yue family returned to Echeng yesterday. As an outsider, Mei Yue decided to keep the kiss between Fang and Xia Yuan to herself.
As for Fang, he really wanted to improve his relationship with Mei Yue.
Because his current status as a high school student was disadvantageous, and these two years were the golden period for establishing a company. The legal representative needed to be at least 18, and the Ximilu Studio might need to establish a formal company this year.
In addition to setting up the company, Mei Yue was an employee, with more flexible working hours. If Yueyue’s original job didn’t work out, Fang would be happy to provide her with a well-paid position to run errands for him—he told her this directly, and she didn’t take it seriously, only saying they would stay in touch.
Xia Yuan, Fang, and You Xi went out together, laughing and chatting all the way to the Pan Ji Beef Noodle Shop.
As mentioned earlier, this was a very famous local brand in Bai Mei County, with nearly 20 years of noodle-making history. This beef noodle dish originated from the Red Oil Beef Noodles of Xiangyang, and it was extremely popular for breakfast in Bai Mei County, often leading to long queues.
They went early because of this.
Xia Yuan and You Xi got free soy milk and took a seat, while Fang queued up for the food.
“It’s already the thirteenth day of the New Year, and after the Lantern Festival, it’s time to go back to school.”
Xia Yuan sighed, holding her chin, “I haven’t done any homework, I have a lot to catch up on…”
“But, there’s quite a bit of homework, can you finish it?”
“I know it’s a lot… I did some, so it’s okay.”
Facing You Xi’s gaze, Xia Yuan shyly gestured, “There’s a little bit of it that’s just made up.”
“Try not to make up too much, it will be treated as incomplete if discovered, and you’ll have to call your parents if it happens twice.”
“No way, that would be too embarrassing.”
It seems You Xi won’t let me copy…
Xia Yuan took a small sip of soy milk. At that moment, Fang came over with a bowl of beef noodles.
“Here you go.”
“Woah! Smelling delicious beef noodles! I love them!”
Xia Yuan smelled the large bowl of beef noodles, “This is the taste of home! It’s been so long since I last had it, I feel so bad.”
“In fact, Fang wasn’t here for a while, it’s been open for a long time. I tried to invite you out, but you wouldn’t come. When Fang invited you, you were so enthusiastic.”
You Xi smiled, holding her chin, “To you, Fang is more important now than me.”
“No, no… You both are equally important to me.”
Xia Yuan nervously stirred the noodles, “Let’s eat! The noodles will get cold.”
The beef noodle shop in Bai Mei County had a huge pot for boiling the broth, starting work at four or five in the morning to make the rich red oil broth and tough beef that each shop had its own unique flavor. The Pan Ji shop had decades of secret recipes, and it was rumored that only the son-in-law could inherit it.
The noodle master kneaded the dough with strong but not showy hands, repeatedly pounding and stretching it until it became smooth thin noodles or chewy wide noodles.
Bai Mei County was a small town with a slow pace of life. The locals never relied on fast food machines, even if they had to queue up for a long time, they insisted on having a proper breakfast to start their new day and enjoy the烟火of daily life.
The three of them enjoyed their meal at the Pan Ji shop, and by the end, Fang and Xia Yuan’s mouths were bright red and they kept blowing on their tongues.
“Fang, didn’t I tell you to make it mild… why is it so spicy… blow blow.”
“This is mild… did you get used to spicy food in Jiangcheng… blow blow.”
“How could that be… people in Jiangcheng can eat spicy food too! Look, You Xi is fine, you must have made us too spicy.”
At this moment, You Xi was leisurely wiping her mouth and then smiling at Fang.
“Speaking of which, won’t Fang get angry again after this meal?”
Her gentle gaze clearly carried a hint of something else, and Fang swallowed hard.
“Well… maybe… probably… maybe… probably won’t get angry.”
I’m sorry everyone, I didn’t update again. Writing this made me hungry. I’m not human, sorry everyone.
