Chapter 250

Chapter 250: So I’m the only one who hasn’t received a love letter!

“Me, I did it on purpose, not by accident.”

Facing Mei Fang’s interrogation, Xiang Bingbing was unafraid and even a bit proud.

As Mei Fang prepared to scold her, Xiang Bingbing continued explaining:

“This was something You Xi asked me to do. She said that if other girls gave Fang snacks or milk tea, I could take them, and she would take responsibility for it.”

Mei Fang suddenly understood: “I see, no wonder when Nunai wanted to buy me milk tea last time, your eyes were sparkling—”

“Accept gifts when they’re given! You ran all the way here!” Xiang Bingbing retorted angrily, “Nunai just wants you to accept the gift; she doesn’t care who drinks it!”

“Hahaha, Senior Xiang Bingbing is so cute!”

Junaie wasn’t upset about her snacks being eaten by Xiang Bingbing. After all, she never expected Mei Fang to actually keep them properly. This situation could bring her closer to Mei Fang:

“Senior! Now that the truth is out, you see… I was wrong, right?”

Junaie leaned against the window, rubbing her head in frustration, “You hit my head so hard, Senior, you’re too harsh.”

“Phew… I was wrong. I’ll treat you to milk tea another day, but please don’t send me snacks anymore.”

“I don’t want Senior’s milk tea. I’m afraid the two seniors will misunderstand.”

Junaie grinned, “It’s fine with Senior Xia Yuan, but Senior You Xi looks like someone very scary. I wouldn’t dare make her unhappy.”

She then rested her chin on Mei Fang’s windowsill, looking at the letter in his hand, “But… I’m very interested in the love letter you received. Is there anything I can help with?”

“No, no, go back to class. It’s almost time for evening study.”

“Then… If Senior misinterpreted me as liking him and sent me a love letter, can I tell everyone? Tell Senior Xia Yuan and Senior You Xi—”

Before Junaie finished, Mei Fang waved her to stop.

“As an apology for misunderstanding you earlier, you can read the letter, but don’t spread it.”

“Yay!”

Junaie respectfully took the letter from Mei Fang and began reading it quietly out of great interest.

“Don’t read it!”

“Ah, sorry.”

While Mei Fang and Junaie were talking, Xiang Bingbing was trembling on the desk.

Seeing her odd state, Mei Fang poked her, “What are you doing?”

“I…” Xiang Bingbing covered her mouth and trembled, “I remembered something happy. Haha, hahaha—”

“You look suspicious… Did you hear everything? Do you know about the love letter?”

Xiang Bingbing continued covering her mouth and shook her head frantically, making Mei Fang even more suspicious. Just then, Junaie suddenly shouted:

“Senior, you’ve been looking for the person who wrote this love letter, right?”

“Yeah… Any clues?”

“The card envelope theme is from the popular Sanrio family. Melody is very popular!”

“Come to think of it, today the stationery shop next to our school’s court just got a new batch. I bought some earlier, but they sold out quickly. Few people should have such envelopes now. If the culprit is someone close, it should be easy to find!”

Xiang Bingbing chimed in, “Speaking of which, isn’t it possible You Xi and Yuan Yuan wrote this letter for you?”

“Mm… I can’t be sure.”

“Such mushy words suggest it’s not someone unfamiliar. Senior should suspect those around you more.”

Junaie thought for a moment, “If you really want to find out who the culprit is, meeting at the old place tomorrow might be the easiest way, right?”

“Old place… Well…”

The first thing Mei Fang thought of was the pavilion, but that meant suspecting either You Xi or Yuan Yuan.

Earlier, when walking at night, You Xi mentioned the old place, but asking You Xi to write such mushy words—

Mei Fang couldn’t help but imagine You Xi hanging on him like a koala.

After all, You Xi wasn’t short, so if she wanted to hang on him, she’d have to—

Not just a little spicy… it’s quite spicy!

Previously mentioned, Mei Fang was a petty person, and he wouldn’t forget such things easily.

Before the second evening self-study session started, he requested to check Xiang Bingbing’s desk for Melody’s envelope, which she strongly resisted—

She protected her desk, refusing to move despite Mei Fang’s pushing.

Though she was clearly suspicious, Mei Fang needed solid evidence to truly calm down.

Thus, using unconventional means, he tickled Xiang Bingbing with a ruler, forcing her to surrender.

Xiang Bingbing initially endured, but eventually couldn’t hold back any longer:

“Fang… Haha, that tickles! Stop it—I hate you!”

Because Xiang Bingbing made such strange noises, many classmates soon noticed.

Mei Fang’s peculiar reputation grew.

Not only did he fail to find the real sender of the love letter, but he also hadn’t written a single word for You Xi and Yuan Yuan. He felt a bit troubled.

On their way home, the three didn’t talk much until Xia Yuan brought up Liu Xiaoyu receiving a love letter. You Xi seemed very interested, and Xia Yuan added:

“By the way, I’ve also received a love letter.”

“What! When?”

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang almost simultaneously exclaimed, making You Xi feel amused:

“Just recently… Why are you both so excited?”

“Of course, we’re jealous! Fang and I haven’t received any love letters yet!”

Mei Fang was more straightforward, “Which boy? From your class? Or a junior?”

“That’s not important. I already rejected him, and it’s nothing to brag about.”

“It’s good, it means you’re popular.”

“If anyone’s popular, it’s Yuan Yuan. Being more popular yet receiving no love letters—clearly, the reason is obvious.”

“Eh…” Xia Yuan looked a bit guilty.

Since elementary school, Xia Yuan had always stuck close to Mei Fang whenever she could, and Mei Fang protected her well. Other boys had few opportunities to deepen their relationship with Xia Yuan.

You Xi raised her head and stretched her neck, “Of course, I’m not jealous. My personality is hard to get along with, and I look unapproachable at school. With Yuan Yuan not around, it’s easier to be misunderstood as lonely.”

“Don’t say that, your personality isn’t hard to get along with. We both love you!”

Xia Yuan hugged You Xi, then nodded at Mei Fang.

Was she inviting him to join in?

Mei Fang paused for a moment, then joined in.

They used to often hug each other, like celebrating when happy or encouraging when sad…

Back then, Xia Yuan was more active and proactive than now. You Xi and Mei Fang were like Xia Yuan’s little followers.

Now, it wasn’t Xia Yuan’s era anymore. To give them more security, Mei Fang should be more proactive.

He put aside his concern about others’ opinions and hugged Xia Yuan and You Xi’s waists, gently touching their foreheads. Xia Yuan joined in, and the three of them hugged their foreheads together, closing their eyes to feel each other’s warmth.

Mei Fang softly said, “Even though we’re not in the same class, and we can still meet at night, during the day there’s a long time. No matter how busy, we should spend more time together, sharing both happy and sad moments. That’s what fulfilling a promise of not changing for a hundred years means… right?”

“Mm, yes…”

Xia Yuan gently caressed You Xi’s forehead. You Xi, feeling Xia Yuan’s tenderness, softly said,

“Fang talks so nicely. Since we’re sharing, shouldn’t you share the story of receiving a love letter today with us? Or are you planning to hide it forever?”

“Love… letter?”

Xia Yuan was shocked, “Fang received a love letter today too! What happened? Then I’m the only one who hasn’t received a love letter!”

I went to learn from Snow Woman today and just woke up. Sorry. The next chapter will be updated at noon. Don’t wait.

End of Chapter 250.
