Chapter 326: Write a Song for Me

“No… Break up?”

Looking at the intimate and close interaction between Xia Yuan and Mei Fang in front of her, Peng Xue seemed very surprised. “So you two aren’t just friends after breaking up, but… hmm… wait, let me get my thoughts straight…”

“There’s no need to get your thoughts straight. I’ll tell you everything honestly…”

Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin You Xi’s story has long been something Xia Yuan wanted to share with her best friend Peng Xue, but she never had the chance.

After explaining every detail about their situation, Peng Xue frowned and stared at Xia Yuan for a long time, making Xia Yuan very nervous.

“Of course, it’s not like I absolutely need your blessing… I know our relationship is hard to understand, but you’re my best friend, and I have to tell you this.”

“I’m just a bit moved… No wonder I’ve always been your best friend; I was wondering why there wasn’t any news about You Xi.”

Peng Xue shook her head and sighed, “So she’s already part of your family.”

“Hehe… you could say that too…”

At this moment, Peng Xue’s gaze turned to Mei Fang.

She stared at Mei Fang for a long time, then stood up and sat on the other side of Mei Fang, looking directly into his eyes.

“Why are you doing this?”

Mei Fang shifted slightly, but Peng Xue leaned closer and patted his shoulder hard.

“Not surprising from the multi-talented Mr. Mei, playing around like this, hahaha!”

Mei Fang got hit for no reason, but as he is a good friend of Yuan Yuan, he endured Peng Xue’s teasing. At this moment, Xia Yuan, holding Mei Fang’s arm, leaned out and said, “Okay, Xiao Xue… Everything you wanted to know, I’ve told you…”

“Yes, yes.”

Peng Xue smiled at Xia Yuan, “You only told me because I am your best friend. I think it’s fine, you and You Xi are childhood friends, so it makes sense that you have such deep feelings that you can’t be separated…”

Peng Xue smiled lightly and raised her glass to Xia Yuan, “Then I should change what I said before… Wishing you three happiness and longevity!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Xia Yuan quickly approached to clink glasses with Peng Xue, but Peng Xue suddenly pulled back her glass, “Wait! I won’t celebrate with kids. Mr. Mei doesn’t count as an adult, but you should at least have a little drink, right?”

“Drink… I will drink with you!”

“Cough, cough.”

Mei Fang deliberately coughed a few times. Xia Yuan, pleading with him with her eyes, said, “It’s rare to see Xiao Xue, having a little cocktail wouldn’t hurt! It’s not strong…”

Xia Yuan was still clinging to Mei Fang’s arm, swinging it back and forth. Seeing her wife being so adorable when being playful, how could Mei Fang refuse her request?

He immediately said seriously, “Your tolerance is low, you can only have one drink.”

“Great! Fang, you’re so nice! Mua!”

Xia Yuan kissed Mei Fang on the cheek, causing Peng Xue to make a sound.

“I want that ‘Alexander’ cocktail too, it’s quite tasty!”

So Mei Fang ordered another Alexander for Xia Yuan. When the cocktails arrived, Peng Xue and Xia Yuan gently touched glasses.

“Cheers!”

Peng Xue drank her cocktail in one go, while Xia Yuan was still trying to take small sips.

“Don’t drink too fast, don’t compare with me, I have a good tolerance.”

At this moment, Peng Xue was still sitting next to Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, supporting her chin as she watched Xia Yuan take a sip, then sigh in relief.

“I’m getting better at drinking, Fang! Look how cool I am? Hic!”

The flushed Xia Yuan suddenly hiccupped, causing Mei Fang and Peng Xue to laugh uncontrollably.

“You’re not cool at all… You can’t even handle this much, stop drinking.”

Mei Fang tried to take Xia Yuan’s glass.

“No! I want to drink… We haven’t seen each other in so long, I want to have a good chat with Xiao Xue—”

“Stop drinking,” Mei Fang said firmly as he took the glass away from Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan immediately became agitated — it seems she has a bad habit of getting angry when drunk.

“Fang, you’re so annoying… I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Angry, Xia Yuan plopped down on Mei Fang, then lifted his chin and gave him a very cute and naughty kiss.

“Mmm…”

This was the first time Peng Xue saw Xia Yuan and Mei Fang kiss.

Although Xia Yuan’s technique was often criticized by Mei Fang as being unskilled, this kind of kiss from You Xi’s style had quite an impact on Peng Xue.

Moreover, Xia Yuan, under the influence of alcohol, was aggressively kissing, which made Peng Xue, who previously would make laughing sounds, watch quietly.

They kissed for over five minutes until Xia Yuan finally broke away from Mei Fang with a smile, pinching his face.

“Always saying I can’t do it, now you know who’s the younger one, right? Right?”

Mei Fang looked annoyed as Xia Yuan played with his face, then looked at the dazed Peng Xue.

“How do you feel… Is this what you wanted?”

“I didn’t know Yuan Yuan was like this, hahaha…”

Regaining her composure, Peng Xue smiled and joked. Xia Yuan, who was pinching Mei Fang, fell asleep in his arms.

“She’s already drunk…”

Mei Fang gently patted Xia Yuan’s face, but she showed no signs of waking up. She mumbled “Fang, Fang” and held onto him tightly, looking like a drunken bird.

Mei Fang glanced at the clock, it was only nine o’clock. He turned to Peng Xue and said,

“Although it’s early, Yuan Yuan can’t talk anymore… I’ll take her home.”

Just as Mei Fang was about to stand up, Peng Xue grabbed his arm.

“What’s the rush to go back? Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“Uh…”

Mei Fang thought for a moment and sat back down, “By the way, Yuan Yuan, You Xi, and I will all be taking exams at Pengcheng University. If you return to school, you can also apply nearby. This way, we can meet more often or work on songs together…”

As Mei Fang spoke, Peng Xue picked up Xia Yuan’s unfinished glass and finished the drink inside.

“Do you know the story behind the ‘Alexander’ cocktail?”

“Not really.”

“Well, let me tell you. This cocktail was specially made to commemorate the wedding of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, serving as a tribute to the queen.”

“This is a true royal cocktail, its taste is sweet and rich, just like announcing love to the world. So…”

Peng Xue smiled at Mei Fang, “Consider this a gift for you and Yuan Yuan.”

“Hmm… Thank you.”

“Why does it seem less interesting when Yuan Yuan is asleep?”

Peng Xue patted Mei Fang’s shoulder, “If you truly want to play the role of a good man, shouldn’t you avoid being with two people?”

“Yuan Yuan and You Xi are special.”

“Yes… special, hahaha…”

At this point, Peng Xue was already slightly tipsy. Although the cocktail was a small glass, it was quite potent.

Seeing Peng Xue’s state, Mei Fang worriedly said, “Should I call your cousin? You seem quite drunk too.”

“I wish I could get drunk… but it’s not that easy…”

Peng Xue, with her cheek resting on her hand, stared at Xia Yuan in Mei Fang’s arms. Suddenly, tears started flowing uncontrollably.

“Mei Fang… you’re a bad man.”

“You’ve let down the most important person in my life.”

“You should have stayed together and gotten everyone’s blessings, including mine.”

“Now you want me to lie to Yuan Yuan and bless you.”

“How could I possibly bless you?”

Peng Xue laughed through her tears, her gaze shifting from Xia Yuan to Mei Fang.

The young man’s eyes were calm and serene, though they reflected her tear-streaked face, they showed no sign of the different emotions she hoped to see.

Sigh…

“Sorry.”

Mei Fang whispered softly.

At that moment, Peng Xue suddenly leaned in, almost touching Mei Fang’s cheek.

But it was fleeting.

Then, she feigned a move and kissed the sleeping Xia Yuan in Mei Fang’s arms.

After doing this, Peng Xue gently brushed her hair and smiled at Mei Fang, lightly touching her lips.

“Sorry… I really like Yuan Yuan a lot. You can tell her when she wakes up.”

Peng Xue patted her cheek forcefully, trying to sober up. Mei Fang handed her a tissue to wipe her nose and tears.

After reorganizing herself, Peng Xue raised her head and revealed her characteristic Peng Xue smile.

“Mr. Mei, your songs are so good. If you have time, write a song for me? Just one, I’d love to sing your song.”

“Sure, I promise.”

Mei Fang smiled faintly and nodded.

The snow in Jiangcheng had finally stopped swirling after drifting for days, settling down in this intoxicating night.

There’s something I didn’t finish, I’ll check later.
