Chapter 315

Chapter 315: National Level Childhood Sweethearts (Vote for me!)

Me Fang publicly revealing his identity during the self-criticism meeting was not just to show off; he did it because he had planned this move carefully. It was aimed at adding more story and legendary color to his business empire and paving the way for his future academic endeavors.

Who could refuse the story of a high school student who built a fortune of millions without relying on their parents’ wealth?

Professional photographer Wan Chaoxiong edited and processed the video of the self-criticism meeting and released it online, officially unveiling the mysterious face behind the founder of C Station—C Station was initially co-developed by Me Fang and Lin You Xi when they were in junior high. The character “Mountain Has a Forest with Xi” was essentially a collaboration between the two.

Me Fang was responsible for the external communication of the initial “Miss,” while Lin You Xi handled the web development.

Regardless, since the name was “Mountain Has a Forest with Xi,” the C Station undoubtedly belonged to Lin You Xi—at least in the public’s eyes.

Therefore, “Miss” was a real existence, Lin You Xi was Xi Bao, and Xi Bao was Miss. She was a goddess of the school with a beauty that rivaled Xia Yuan and an aloof demeanor that dominated the scene.

This was Lin You Xi’s first public appearance, which also allowed Me Fang to learn about the close relationship between Xia Yuan, Lin You Xi, and himself through the public self-criticism, bypassing the topic of their intense drama.

The video topped the daily search trends.

Me Fang’s immense popularity once again attracted media attention and interview invitations, far surpassing the enthusiasm from the interviews during “Cloud Journey.”

This time, everyone’s passion exceeded even the game development period. After all, in today’s mainstream values, independent game development and internet ventures couldn’t be compared.

Moreover, Me Fang was a legendary high school student who spanned music, games, and video websites, a future superstar of China.

From numerous interview invitations, Me Fang chose the most influential one from the capital city, declining others. Although Me Fang wasn’t fond of being in the spotlight, he always wanted to gain something from each appearance.

This interview required the presence of all three, so many questions needed to be prepared in advance.

Before setting out, Me Fang reminded Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi, “Most questions can be answered truthfully. If it involves topics related to love, just say we’re still middle school students and it’s inappropriate to discuss such matters.”

“It’s the capital city reporter, so they probably won’t ask such tasteless questions.”

Lin You Xi and Xia Yuan were grooming themselves in front of the mirror. Xia Yuan invited Me Fang to come closer to the makeup table, “Afang, why don’t you put on some light makeup?”

“Students look better without makeup. It’s more natural… Aren’t you both already beautiful without makeup?”

“Even a little bit of light makeup is applied sometimes, especially when there are pimples or uneven skin tone. That’s when I need to cover up with some cosmetics. Come here, Afang, let me help you with your foundation.”

Me Fang approached the makeup table at Xia Yuan’s request. Xia Yuan was arranging the cosmetics and then started helping him.

In front of the small mirror, Me Fang had clean and refined features, though not strikingly angular or sharp-eyed. He had a fresh-faced look like a neighbor’s younger brother.

“Our Afang… has grown up so much without us noticing.”

Xia Yuan pinched Me Fang’s cheeks and looked at them together in the mirror.

“Afang, do you think we have a couple’s look?”

In the mirror, Xia Yuan smiled brightly, looking very pure and charming.

But for Me Fang, the focus wasn’t on how pretty Xia Yuan was.

It was because this face belonged to his Yuanyuan.

How… did he suddenly understand the teasing about “not knowing the beauty of his wife”?

Me Fang patted Xia Yuan’s hand gently and nodded slightly, lost in the moment with Xia Yuan.

“There’s a certain feeling, but it’s not complete.”

“Hug me properly, why must Xiyou come along too?”

Xia Yuan playfully hit Me Fang, and Lin You Xi appeared in the mirror after finishing her makeup, joining in the fun with Me Fang and Xia Yuan.

“Is this how it should be?”

“…”

“…”

Xia Yuan and Me Fang couldn’t help but laugh when they saw the expressions in the mirror.

“Seeing the three of us together does look better.”

Lin You Xi smiled slightly, “We’ve taken quite a few photos together.”

Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, “It’s amazing. Even though we’ve known each other for so long, we never get tired of each other.”

“If Yuanyuan gets tired, don’t force yourself.”

“You wish! Do you want to monopolize Afang? I’ll never get tired of Afang, he’s so interesting.”

Xia Yuan hugged Me Fang tightly, protecting him, “And even if I ever get tired, I’ll develop my own version of Afang to keep me company.”

“Are you saying I’m like a robot?”

“In the future, there will be college Afang, boss Afang, and… umm… dad Afang.”

“Growing hair is still early… Or are you getting anxious, Yuanyuan?”

“No! I’m not! We should wait until graduation and get our parents’ approval.”

Xia Yuan sighed, “Although Afang explained it over the phone, my dad keeps calling me recently, he’s really worried about me.”

“That’s because he cares about you. Understand him, he’s afraid you might get hurt.”

“I’m really afraid I’ll accidentally tell my dad about our relationship. I feel like that would make him worry less…”

“Talking to your dad more is good. Unlike me, every time I talk to my mom on video, she only cares about you two and doesn’t care about me at all.”

“Isn’t that a sign that Auntie trusts me enough to leave me in your and Yuanyuan’s care?”

Lin You Xi also hugged Me Fang, resting her head on his shoulder, “That’s a sign of trust, acknowledging our growth.”

“True.”

Me Fang smiled, reaching out to hug Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi, spending a leisurely time together.

Me Fang brought Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi to participate in the capital city interview. They sat in the studio, chatting about the past, and showed the reporters around their company and the games they developed.

During the interview, they shared many stories about their past.

Me Fang’s first bucket of money as a child, Xia Yuan’s plan to run away from home, Lin You Xi’s story of visiting graves, and how Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi worked together to keep Me Fang.

Of course, there were also stories about Me Fang being a bedwetting king and other warm yet non-legendary tales.

These stories were common in anyone’s childhood, and after the broadcast, many netizens commented on how they reminded them of their own close childhood sweethearts.

But more people expressed regret, nostalgia, and sadness, recounting their lost innocent days when they lost contact with their childhood sweethearts.

When did they forget each other on the path of growing up?

The entrepreneurial journey and beautiful past of Me Youyuan trio sparked a nationwide trend and deep nostalgia for childhood sweethearts.

They were also given the titles of “National Childhood Sweetheart” and “National Childhood Best Friend.”

In addition, Me Fang mentioned in the special interview that he still wanted to experience university life.

If possible, he hoped to stay close to his childhood sweethearts, and if they could attend the same university, they would be even happier.

Thus, in this final wave of hype, more and more universities extended olive branches to Me Fang.

It was time to plan for the future of university life.

I hope you give me your votes. I love you all.
