Chapter 364: Gathering at the University Canteen
After Mei Fang and Zhang Ming parted ways, they naturally went to find their respective little childhood sweethearts for a meal. The three of them agreed to meet at the entrance of the North Area Canteen. When Mei Fang arrived, Xia Yuan was already waiting there.
At that moment, Xia Yuan was playing with her phone, her head lowered in laughter. Mei Fang didn’t greet her directly but instead leaned over from behind her and peered in to ask:
“Who are you chatting with? Why are you so happy?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan suddenly let out a cry, nearly slapping Mei Fang on the spot out of fright.
“Oh… Ah Fang, stop scaring me like that!”
“Who are you chatting with? I’m curious.”
Mei Fang’s cute and curious look made Xia Yuan feel quite amused.
“Come to think of it, we rarely have moments of jealousy between us. If there were any, it would be me being jealous of You Xi, but since it’s You Xi, I quickly got over it.”
“Don’t talk about this…”
Mei Fang put his arm around Xia Yuan and leaned toward the phone, asking, “So, it really is a boy?”
“How could it be? It’s Bing Bing and Xiao Yu.”
Xia Yuan tilted her head and said, “Ah Fang, why do you lack confidence in our relationship? We’ve only been apart for a short while, and you’re already worried about me finding someone else?”
“We’re childhood sweethearts; isn’t it natural that I might not be able to compete with someone unexpected?”
Hearing this, Xia Yuan was surprised, “You’ve always worked hard. Are you worried that we might leave you because you’re not good enough?”
“It’s not just that… There are some factors involved…”
“Ah ah ah… Ah Fang, you idiot!”
Xia Yuan seemed very angry after hearing this and started punching Mei Fang, “I’ve always felt that I wasn’t as good as you and You Xi, so that’s why I’ve been working hard! And even when playing games, riding bicycles, and rollerblading—everything is because you pushed us! Otherwise, my childhood would have been much happier!”
“Alright, alright… Sorry… I apologize… But you and You Xi are so beautiful that people will notice you! Isn’t it normal? If I’m not good enough, everyone will think I don’t deserve you, and they’ll start undermining me. On the other hand, if I am good enough, they won’t dare to, right?”
“That makes sense… You and You Xi are now so outstanding, so there shouldn’t be many girls who have feelings for you… That’s a good idea—”
“What were you two talking about, so happily? Why didn’t you include me?”
Lin You Xi appeared suddenly, wrapping her arm around Xia Yuan’s, then patting Mei Fang on the shoulder, “Did you miss me in class today?”
“Yes, I missed you very much,” Mei Fang glanced at Xia Yuan who was staring at him, “I missed you just as much as I missed Yuan Yuan.”
“Good, not paying attention in class, thinking about us. Extend your hand, I’ll spank you.”
Lin You Xi pretended to be strict, trying to pull Mei Fang’s hand, but Xia Yuan quickly stopped her, “Ah Fang is now a big boss, he values his face. Don’t do this, You Xi… It would be bad if anyone sees.”
“Wu wu Yuan Yuan…”
Seeing how much his wife loved him, Mei Fang wanted to hug Xia Yuan, but she pushed him away and said,
“We should punish each other back home, using family rules.”
Xia Yuan made some strange gestures, and Lin You Xi nodded in agreement, “That’s true, I didn’t consider that.”
“I’m your childhood friend, not a workhorse, okay!”
The three of them went to eat at the university canteen.
Now, they occasionally get stared at by students, but everyone is generally well-mannered, so they don’t bother the trio too much.
Mei Fang had to queue up for food himself. Occasionally, someone would offer him a spot, but he politely declined. Everyone else also tried not to pay too much attention to them.
Mei Fang ordered roast meat rice, Lin You Xi ordered braised chicken, and Xia Yuan ordered a combo meal.
After buying the meals, Mei Fang also bought three cups of milk tea from the school window. While eating, Xia Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim,
“I used to think that the canteen at Jiangcheng Shi No.1 was the best, but没想到鹏大的食堂比它还要厉害,饭菜便宜不说还好吃,跟外面的店家没什么区别。”
“这是因为食堂外包给了外面的商家,学校只是补贴一下而已。”
缘兮互娱三巨头在鹏大的食堂里闲聊,梅方无意中又提起了刚才夏缘的话题,“你刚才和冰冰、小雨聊得很开心,发生了什么事吗?”
“小雨暑假的时候不是一直在学打鼓吗?前不久百团招新,他们都加入了大学生艺术团,小雨发了冰冰在大艺团打鼓的视频,你看她现在打得挺好的。”
梅方和林有兮凑过去看冰冰打鼓的视频。视频中的冰冰留了长发,扎了个侧马尾,随着节奏忘我地打着架子鼓。梅方顿时惊讶道:
“冰冰怎么换了个发型,差点没认出来……”
“冰冰变化很大吧?我来鹏大这么久,只在开学时见过她一面,也没认出来。”
“什么时候见的,也不叫我一起去。”
林有兮说着夹走了夏缘碗里的一块猪蹄肉,夏缘支支吾吾地解释道,“那个时候……我们正忙着筹备发布会,你们俩天天都泡在公司,冰冰和小雨说要来看看我们,我就简单和她们俩见了个面,忘记和你们说了。”
“说起来,我们几个朋友也有一段时间没见面了,之前是因为工作忙,现在有空了,要不要聚聚?”
“好呀好呀,我很想和以前的好朋友们聚会,我要叫上小雨、冰冰、小怡子,还有——”
“张铭张铭,你把我基友忘了!”
梅方想了想,“郭芸也可以邀请试试,她来的话我正好有事要找她。”
夏缘一听歪头道,“你不会又要让芸芸给你干活吧?”
“芸芸可是我们西米露项目组的主美,找她干活很正常吧?”
“……”
梅方话音刚落,林有兮和夏缘顿时用审视的目光看着他。
“怎么了……我叫芸芸不行吗?”
“当然不行!太暧昧了。”
“我喊冰冰、小雨的时候你们也没说什么。”
“你平时也不和冰冰、小雨聊天,所以没问题。”
林有兮解释道,“但是郭芸不一样,你们俩经常私下聊工作的事情,谁知道你们聊什么,所以我和缘缘吃醋很正常。”
“就是就是。”
“那我以后建个美术交流讨论群,把你们俩也放进去,你看我们的聊天内容,应该放心了吧。”
“那倒不必……”
林有兮摆摆手,“这种事情全靠你自觉,你不自觉,我监督再多也没用。除此之外——”
这时她正夹着一块黄焖鸡,在梅方面前故意晃悠,“其实只要我们家法伺候好了,阿方当然也不会胡思乱想,你说是不是,阿方?”
有兮略带挑逗的话语让梅方不禁颤抖,接着微微一笑,“说到这个我就有话说了,你们不觉得,现在这样子……其实和以前也没什么区别,根本玩不了恋爱游戏吗?”
