Chapter 248: Let’s Write Love Letters to Each Other

“…”

After Mei Fang learned that Liu Xiaoyu had received a love letter, he was initially slightly surprised but then found it logical.

Indeed, Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi should be more popular than Liu Xiaoyu at present.

But the more popular and charismatic these girls were, the more people would think they were already taken, especially with someone like Mei Fang by their side in public.

High school students were generally arrogant, and those from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School even more so. Without believing themselves to be better and more charming than Mei Fang, no one would have thoughts about Xia Yuan or Lin You Xi.

On the contrary, Liu Xiaoyu, who was often seen as Xia Yuan’s follower, was also a cute, gentle, and friendly girl when considered alone.

Such a girl seemed easy to get along with. If they chatted frequently, it might create an illusion of mutual affection, and if approached actively, it could be mistaken for a potential success.

After understanding the situation, Mei Fang asked, “Is this person from your class? Or—”

“Afang! Wait a moment.”

Xia Yuan gestured to Liu Xiaoyu, “Can we tell Afang about this? Don’t worry about him. If you don’t want to, just don’t tell him.”

“This is nothing… It’s a boy from Class 5 before, who sat behind me. We used to chat a lot, and our relationship was pretty good…”

Liu Xiaoyu waved at Mei Fang and said, “But I don’t feel that way towards him. Plus, I’m too busy with studies and work, so I’ll reject him when the time comes…”

“Hmm… That’s understandable.”

Mei Fang felt a mix of emotions responding to Liu Xiaoyu’s words, “Well, in the end, what suits you is the best.”

Liu Xiaoyu nodded but remained silent afterward, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Xia Yuan noticed this and immediately stood up, “I’ll go talk to Afang.”

“Alright.”

Liu Xiaoyu stepped aside for Xia Yuan to stand up. After she left the classroom, she pulled Mei Fang to one side and gently pinched his cheek.

“Why…?”

“Nothing, just wanted to pinch you.”

“Eh…”

Xia Yuan continued pinching and smiling, “Yuer is a very nice girl, and she’s cute. It’s natural for her to receive love letters… But I feel like she has a lot on her mind and isn’t always happy. Anyway, I truly hope she can find her perfect match soon.”

“I believe she will meet someone very excellent soon…”

As Mei Fang spoke, Xia Yuan suddenly looked into his eyes and lightly nudged his chest.

“Speaking of love letters, have you ever written one to anyone or received one?”

“Why are you asking all of a sudden?”

“Oh come on, just answer if you have.”

“Of course not.”

“Woah, how unlucky!”

Xia Yuan stuck out her tongue at Mei Fang, “So, do you want me, your childhood friend, to write a love letter for you to comfort your broken heart?”

“If it’s just for comfort, there’s no need—”

Before Mei Fang finished speaking, he saw Xia Yuan pouting and staring at him with furrowed brows.

She must have some thoughts after reading the letter…

Thinking about how close she and You Xi were, Mei Fang found it amusing that he was still pondering over love letters.

“If you’re going to write one, why don’t we both write one?”

“Uh-huh!” Xia Yuan looked very happy, “But you can’t just write for me. You have to write one for You Xi too.”

Mei Fang thought, “How did you steal my water-carrying skills, Yuan Yuan?”

“Of course, I remember.”

Xia Yuan suddenly remembered something, “By the way, let’s not tell You Xi about this. Once we finish writing the letters, we can secretly give them to her and see her reaction. I think it would be quite interesting.”

“Sure… I can try, but since I’ve never written a love letter before, I’ll need some time to prepare.”

“Okay! So, write the letter for You Xi first, then one for me.”

“When will you give me your letter?”

“Hey, why the rush? Don’t tell me you want to copy mine?”

Xia Yuan nudged Mei Fang’s arm, “If we’re going to write love letters, we should take it seriously and pour our feelings into them! I will too.”

After being lectured by Xia Yuan, Mei Fang returned to the classroom.

Love letters…

In his previous life, Mei Fang actually had written a love letter.

But that was for Zhang Ming.

It was a way for buddies to strengthen their friendship.

Back then, Mei Fang wrote a heartfelt love letter to play a prank on Zhang Ming. He asked a girl in the class to copy it beautifully on fancy stationery and sent it anonymously to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming had never received a love letter before, and Mei Fang remembered how Zhang Ming blushed deeply when he read it, his ears turning red with embarrassment.

Although Zhang Ming claimed he didn’t know who it was from, he intended to meet the sender. He kept checking the letter for clues and even planned to meet the girl after school.

Mei Fang only admitted it was him when he felt the joke had gone too far, resulting in Zhang Ming beating him up.

He envied Zhang Ming for having such a loyal buddy. At least it was a real love letter from a girl, which made Mei Fang run errands for her to buy breakfast for a month, a sacrifice for Zhang Ming.

But in his previous life, Mei Fang didn’t have such a good buddy, nor anyone to satisfy his love letter obsession.

Love letters for Yuan Yuan and You Xi…

Common love letters usually had two styles: anonymous meetings to guess identities or direct confession followed by a review of past memories and a heartfelt declaration.

The former was for shallow relationships or first-time love at first sight, while the latter was for long-term affection, where the letter served as a declaration of love.

If he were to write proper love letters to Yuan Yuan and You Xi, the latter style would be more appropriate.

But if he kept it a secret from You Xi and only gauged her reaction—

Although the likelihood was low, if she accepted it, Mei Fang wouldn’t know how to handle it.

Of course, You Xi probably wouldn’t do that. Still, this way of teasing You Xi with Xia Yuan without including You Xi felt unfair. He wondered if it would upset You Xi…

Mei Fang spent the afternoon preparing to write love letters. After finishing dinner, he returned to the classroom and found a letter on his desk.

…

Did Yuan Yuan write the letter so quickly? She didn’t show any signs during dinner…

Without much thought, Mei Fang opened the envelope. The opening was sealed with a red heart sticker, with “To: Afang” written on it in a delicate and charming handwriting, clearly from a cute girl.

But just before he opened the envelope, he stopped.

No…

This doesn’t seem like a love letter from Yuan Yuan.

(I apologize, as I lack experience in writing and receiving love letters, I researched extensively for this chapter and lost track of time.
