Chapter 249

Chapter 249: When Did These Little Snacks Appear on My Desk?

Mei Fang determined that this love letter was not from Xia Yuan based on a simple fact: the character ‘fang’ in ‘Afang’.

After years of being together, both Mei Fang and Xia Yuan were familiar with each other’s handwriting and writing habits. Xia Yuan’s handwriting was round and plump like soup dumplings, rarely featuring sharp hooks typical of formal script. Xia Yuan never added a hook to the lower right corner of the character ‘fang’ when writing Mei Fang’s name.

Moreover, the way the heart stickers were placed on the letter was rather crude, clearly not something Xia Yuan, who liked cute things, would do.

Most suspiciously, given his understanding of Xia Yuan, she wouldn’t be able to write such a letter without spending at least a week on it. It wasn’t like she could finish and deliver it in just an afternoon.

Regardless of who wrote it, he decided to read it first.

Just as Mei Fang was about to open the envelope, Xiang Bingbing walked in holding a basketball. Mei Fang quickly hid the envelope, looking guilty.

This piqued Xiang Bingbing’s interest. She leaned towards Mei Fang curiously.

“Afang, Afang, what are you looking at? Let me see too.”

“Nothing… nothing much…”

“Let me see, it won’t make me lose any meat!”

Mei Fang pushed her away with disdain, “Your body smells of sweat… I can’t stand it.”

Xiang Bingbing pouted, “I showered after playing basketball and came back to the dorm. I still smell nice! Smell me, go on!”

Xiang Bingbing tried to press against him, but Mei Fang managed to push her away after a while. Only when Xiang Bingbing started her evening self-study did Mei Fang have time to open the envelope and read the contents of the letter.

[Dear Afang]

[The first time I saw you]

[I really wanted to hug you]

[I wanted to touch your soft face]

[I wanted to smell your unique scent]

[I wanted to listen to your gentle voice]

[Just thinking about it]

[Your warmth seemed to melt into my body]

[If possible]

[I truly hope I could always be the one to hug you]

[Your happiness]

[Your sadness]

[Your little moods]

[I want to embrace everything about you]

[As long as you say yes]

[I will love you unconditionally]

[I want to hang around you]

[Like an无忧无虑的树獭 (carefree sloth)]

[You must guess who I am]

[If you’re willing]

[I’ll wait for you at our usual spot]

[Waiting]

[Hoping]

[For our days to come]

Mei Fang finished reading the letter with mixed feelings.

If judged solely by the text, it could already be considered sexual harassment.

Although hugging was something they often did, it was inappropriate to conclude that Xia Yuan was the author based on this alone.

The content lacked substance, and the term ‘Afang’ was known to almost everyone around them, even Xiang Bingbing could use it.

But if it wasn’t Xia Yuan… Could it be Lin You Xi?

She shouldn’t know about the letter. I haven’t even started teasing You Xi yet, and now I might be the one teased by her?

Impossible.

Unless Xia Yuan betrayed him, it couldn’t be her.

But… there’s still a possibility…

Lin You Xi was Xia Yuan’s close companion. Although today wasn’t over yet, there were several classes in between. Maybe Xia Yuan confessed to You Xi out of guilt for sneaking out.

That sounds like something Xia Yuan would do.

Then… should I test it out during the break?

Mei Fang went to find Lin You Xi and Xia Yuan during the break. The two seemed unfazed and were called out.

“Why is Afang so eager today, always running to see us?”

Xia Yuan’s words seemed overly obvious, but fortunately, Lin You Xi didn’t comment, only smiling and saying, “Let’s go home a bit earlier today. I still have a few questions to solve and want to figure them out soon.”

“Alright.”

Xia Yuan appeared conflicted, “We haven’t been intimate at school in a long time. Today probably won’t be different… we’re kind of famous now.”

“Do you really want to?”

Lin You Xi smiled at Xia Yuan, “If you really want to, I can keep watch for you guys at our usual spot.”

Our usual spot…

Hmm, sounds a bit—

“No, no, not today… at least not for now…”

Xia Yuan glanced at Mei Fang, as if she couldn’t hold it anymore and needed Mei Fang to say something to save her.

“Not going today, let’s just take a walk. Speaking of which, You Xi, I didn’t quite understand some questions from the blue book you recommended recently—”

The evening stroll was casual. Mei Fang returned with half the time left. Just as he said goodbye to Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi and reached the classroom door, he noticed Zhu Nai Nai leaning against the column by the corridor, smiling at him.

“Senior Mei Fang, hello! You’ve been walking with Senior Xia Yuan and Senior Lin You Xi again?”

“Why do you keep coming here every day? Aren’t you tired?”

“Not tired, not tired. Seeing you makes me happy, hehe…”

Zhu Nai Nai seemed more active than usual today. Something was off. Mei Fang recalled the love letter he received and became more wary:

“Go ahead, I need to study.”

Mei Fang planned to return to the classroom, but Zhu Nai Nai grabbed his arm.

“Don’t be so cold, Senior. I have something to ask you today!”

“Let go, what is it?”

“It’s actually… I’m very interested in making games. I want to join the Simuru Studio during the club recruitment this year. So, do you have any tips for the interview?”

Mei Fang raised an eyebrow, “Our studio isn’t recruiting, is it?”

“But but! How could a club not recruit new members? We’ll be disbanded next year if we don’t recruit! Having an extra person to serve tea and water isn’t a bad thing either. Plus, I’ve played all the games you’ve made, I’m a core player, a heavy user.”

Zhu Nai Nai was a deep user of C Station. She had discovered the connection between Simuru Games and the Simuru Studio because of the developers’ statements. Mei Fang didn’t hide anything from her and shared his project experiences, which made Zhu Nai Nai admire him even more.

Zhu Nai Nai continued, twisting nervously, “But, honestly, I think you look most charming when you play the guitar!”

“Enough… stop flattering me. Before that, you need to answer my question.”

Zhu Nai Nai saluted, “Of course, Senior, what is it?”

“Have you put anything strange on my desk recently?”

Zhu Nai Nai looked embarrassed, “Oh no… you’ve figured it out.”

“It was you who put the love letter, right!”

Mei Fang angrily rapped Zhu Nai Nai’s head, “Didn’t I tell you I have someone I like? What’s the point of doing this?”

“What… what love letter!”

Zhu Nai Nai looked aggrieved after being hit on the head, “I meant I put some snacks like cookies or chocolates on your desk every day. Are you talking about that?”

“?”

Mei Fang frowned, looking extremely surprised, “Damn, when did these little snacks appear on my desk? I’ve never seen them before.”

Tomorrow, I’m too tired to continue.
