Chapter 273: You Xi Is Feeling Emotional

Mei Fang rubbed his knees as he came out of the house. Xia Yuan had been waiting by his side to check on him.

Actually, when Mei Fang was kneeling at home earlier, Xia Yuan, Lin You Xi, and his sister Mei Ya were all outside eavesdropping. Only You Xi came in last, which was the best solution they had come up with after discussing together.

Xia Yuan knew that Mei Fang had suffered today, so she quickly knelt down to massage his knees. “You’ve been kneeling for so long, are your legs okay?”

“This is just a minor issue… As long as nothing serious happened between us.”

In fact, since the beginning, Xia Yuan had been feeling the most guilty and ashamed. While massaging Mei Fang’s legs, she felt deeply aggrieved. “It’s all my fault; I insisted on being intimate with you, which led to Aunt Xiang discovering us. I… I…”

Xia Yuan didn’t know what else to say. Mei Fang could only hold her close. “I’ll take you to talk to my mom later. Right now, we’re lovers in public. Since we’re here, we should definitely have a proper conversation with Mom.”

“Mm… But I think I should find a chance to talk to Aunt Xiang myself,” Xia Yuan said. “I don’t want her to think I can only rely on you for everything. I want to be more independent like You Xi.”

“Alright… I’ll wait for good news from you then?”

Although Xiang Xiaoxia knew from You Xi about Mei Fang and Xia Yuan’s relationship, she felt even more pity for Lin You Xi, who confessed her love for Mei Fang but couldn’t have him. This situation greatly affected her parents’ efforts to balance things out.

Mei Fang understood in his heart that Xiang Xiaoxia had always favored the understanding and considerate little You Xi from before. Although Xia Yuan was also very cute and obedient, their interactions weren’t as deep.

Even though he was now with Xia Yuan, if this caused his mother to lose interest in her, it would make it very difficult for Xia Yuan to return to a three-way relationship and gain acceptance from Mother Xiang Xiaoxia in the future.

That night, no one had the mood to continue eating. Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi went to bed early, while Mei Fang didn’t eat a single bite. Only Mei Ya, who cared for her brother, specially made dumplings for him.

As she watched her brother eat, she thought about her two sisters-in-law and quietly reminded Mei Fang with a swaying chair:

“Big Brother, don’t worry. Mom likes both Sister You Xi and Sister Yuan equally. She won’t dislike Sister Yuan because of today’s incident.”

Mei Fang ate his sister’s dumplings and frowned slightly. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m currently dating your Yuan Yuan sister.”

“Big Brother, you can keep it a secret from Mom and Dad, but I’m on your side.”

Mei Ya supported her chin and grinned at Mei Fang, showing a gap in her teeth. “Xiao Ya has seen you grow up, so of course, she knows everything.”

“You consider yourself to have seen us grow up…”

Mei Fang couldn’t help but laugh and tapped his sister’s head. “What rumors did you hear from Mom?”

“Mom always thought you and Sister You Xi were dating because of the incident where you two slept together. She felt very guilty and worried that Sister Yuan would find out. She often discussed with Dad how to comfort Sister Yuan. I even helped come up with ideas.”

“Is that true…”

Hearing this, Mei Fang felt somewhat relieved.

Xia Yuan said she wanted to talk to Mom herself, but Mei Fang was still quite worried about her state. He spent the whole night waiting for her to send a message.

Instead of waiting for Xia Yuan, Mei Fang ended up waiting for You Xi to knock on the door.

Before Mei Fang could ask about Xia Yuan’s progress, You Xi entered the room, locked the door, and hugged him. Unlike usual, they didn’t immediately become intimate; instead, they returned to the feeling of hugging during high school.

She stayed in his arms for a while before pushing him to sit by the bed.

“Can I sit in your lap?”

“Why be so formal… I haven’t had a chance to properly thank you yet.”

Mei Fang wrapped his arms around Lin You Xi. “Today you suffered.”

“I didn’t suffer. What I told Aunt was the truth, except saying you were asleep.”

Lin You Xi pressed closely against Mei Fang’s arm. “But, to say everything I said at dinner was fake, that’s not entirely true…”

She sat cross-legged in his lap and gently brushed her cheek against his.

“What do you mean?”

“Originally, Ah Fang was just Yuan Yuan’s friend, and she introduced you to me. Now, I share you with Yuan Yuan… It’s really my fault.”

“Hey, that’s just something from kindergarten days. How could you remember that so clearly… And now, we’ve decided to be a threesome.”

Lin You Xi held Mei Fang’s hand and leaned back, with him pushing her onto the bed, lying on his chest.

“Mm, I understand, but… Do you know?”

Lin You Xi turned and lay face-to-face with Mei Fang, her gaze becoming infinitely gentle.

“When I said ‘I wish you happiness’ to Aunt, even though it wasn’t sincere, it still made me feel sad.”

“I couldn’t honestly say I wished you happiness.”

“I couldn’t say it sincerely.”

“I selfishly thought of Ah Fang as mine.”

“In short…”

Lin You Xi muttered, “After saying that, I felt very hurt. Comfort me.”

Is You Xi feeling emotional?

She seemed so composed in front of her mother, but she was still so sad afterward…

Mei Fang roughly understood Lin You Xi’s current state and held her tightly.

“Stop being sad.”

“You don’t need to just wish me and Yuan Yuan happiness. We should wish happiness for all three of us.”

“Is the only way to comfort me with sweet words?”

Lin You Xi, while making large gestures, reminded Mei Fang, “After the New Year, I’ll turn eighteen… Can Ah Fang prepare a special birthday gift for me?”

“But I haven’t turned eighteen yet!”

“I didn’t say it had to be a certain kind of gift,” Lin You Xi whispered in Mei Fang’s ear, “Ah Fang, you’re so naughty.”

This mischievous girl.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that I haven’t graduated from high school and can’t do certain things… When the time comes—”

Mei Fang, who had always been single in his past life, tried to act like an experienced veteran, but You Xi saw through his tough exterior and started getting intimate with him.

With the new training, Mei Fang could now be more proactive and use touches to please You Xi.

Although it was still contact through clothes, like with Yuan Yuan, such interactions were rare, and Lin You Xi found them satisfying.

After some intimacy, Mei Fang took a breath.

“Like this… Is it enough? Not that we can’t continue, but we might get caught like Yuan Yuan did, and then it would be hard to handle…”

“Yuan Yuan is… talking to Aunt Xiang right now. I came to find you because I knew they wouldn’t be out soon.”

“You really timed it well… But these excuses treat me like a tool, and every time you end up—”

Before Mei Fang could argue further, Lin You Xi silenced him with the same method she used during the day.

The next morning, Mei Fang changed clothes and went downstairs late. Everyone was already preparing lunch.

Mei Fang originally wanted to ask about Xia Yuan’s progress from last night, but seeing Xia Yuan and Xiang Xiaoxia happily serving dishes, he guessed the outcome.

Seeing Mei Fang appear at the stairs, Xia Yuan enthusiastically waved. “Ah Fang! Come down, we’re about to have lunch.”

“Oh, okay…”

As Mei Fang passed by Xia Yuan, she suddenly grabbed his shoulder and whispered, “Everything’s fine from yesterday.”

“Looks like it… Did Aunt give you a hard time?”

“No, no! Aunt encouraged me to spend more time with you.”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and added, “Aunt cooked lunch today, and she made your favorite dishes, apologizing for misunderstanding you.”

“Well, I wouldn’t be angry either. Who would dare be angry?”

Since they were keeping secrets from the family, Mei Fang felt guilty enough, and being scolded was understandable.

The family enjoyed a meal together, and Xia Yuan didn’t seem troubled by the previous day, nor did Mei Fang sense any guilt from the others, especially his mother.

Let it go; arguing among family members would be pointless.

Xiang Xiaoxia, while serving food to Yuan and You Xi, gently reminded the absorbed Mei Ya, “Xiao Ya, no playing with your phone while eating.”

“Okay… I’ll finish watching this anime first.”

Mei Lijun was curious about what Mei Ya was watching. “Baby, where are you watching this from?”

“It’s from C Station, don’t you know?” Mei Ya tilted her head curiously. “It’s a website opened by Sister You Xi, very popular now. Recently, it received a huge investment from Tencent, reportedly several hundred million.”

Mei Fang couldn’t help but smile and say, “There’s not several hundred million, just fifteen million.”

He casually mentioned a familiar name and a terrifying number, which shocked his parents—

“You Xi—opened a website?”
