Chapter 365: Additional Rules for the Dating Game (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Ticket Supporters 55)

“Nothing different from usual?”

Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi exchanged glances, then Xia Yuan asked, “Are you saying we’re not sweet enough?”

“That’s not the issue. If we’re not sweet enough, I wouldn’t know who is.”

Mei Fang explained, “The three of us won’t be too intimate at school, as per the rules of the dating game. We need to maintain our original personas, but that’s only during school hours. Off-campus or in private, we can be as close as we want. It just lacks the fun of role-playing.”

“So, you mean we should continue playing roles even at home?”

Lin You Xi frowned, “Are you saying you don’t want to play along anymore?”

“I do! Why wouldn’t I? What I mean is… now that everything is easily obtainable day and night, it’s hard to feel that spark. Do you understand?”

“True, it is like that…”

Xia Yuan tilted her head, thinking, “Ah Fang’s super energy, secret training, and super essence all come gradually. For example, when I first took the initiative to kiss or do other things with Ah Fang, my heart raced, wondering if he would reject me…”

“But once obtained, it’s hard to forget…”

Lin You Xi thought for a moment, “If Ah Fang wants novelty, I could learn from Bing Bing and get a haircut or change my hairstyle.”

“That’s a good idea. I’ve always wanted to get curly hair.”

“I’ll cut mine shorter. Oh, and I’ll get my ears pierced.”

“Youxi, you don’t need to go to a shop for that. If you want, I can pierce your ears.”

“Have you done it before?”

“No, Xiao Xue told me about a machine—”

“Hey, you two, you’re missing the point.”

Mei Fang complained, “Changing appearances is fine, but the main thing is… this game isn’t very engaging.”

“Why not?”

“It’s because… every time I interact with you two, I’m always thinking about… you know.”

Lin You Xi and Xia Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Yes, it’s not just you. I feel the same. At school, I have to restrain myself from hugging, and at night, I’m eager to lie down.”

“You two are really immature.”

Lin You Xi sighed, “Unlike me, who isn’t as anxious.”

“You aren’t anxious… Youxi, how can you say that!”

Mei Fang sighed, “Actually, after crossing that line, it’s hard to recreate the feeling of being in love.”

“I understand Ah Fang’s point.”

Lin You Xi nodded, “I think Ah Fang actually wants us to keep some distance at home. Is that what you mean?”

Xia Yuan immediately pouted, “So you want to keep your distance from us? Are you planning to cheat on us?”

“No! I said it from the start! Before, we had it twice a day, then it became every three days when busy, but recently, it’s been several times a day… I’m not saying it’s bad; I enjoy it, but—”

Lin You Xi interrupted by covering his mouth.

“Afang, we know you’re great, and you’re right… It’s not about restraint. Maybe keeping things balanced is better. We should change our approach.”

“Change our approach? How?”

“I need to think about it… Let’s discuss later. First, let’s talk about our plans. Do you have classes this afternoon?”

Xia Yuan nodded, “I have one more class. What about you two?”

“I’m free,” Mei Fang said.

“Me too,” Lin You Xi nodded, “Shall we go home after lunch?”

“Sure.”

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, “Yuyuan, rest in your dormitory. I’ll pick you up from school?”

“It’s just a short walk. Rest well at home.”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and reminded Lin You Xi, “You can sneakily work on Afang, but don’t lose yourself in the process!”

“How can you say that… Afang said he’d pick you up, and it’s only two hours. What else is there to do?”

“Don’t exaggerate. You two should discuss the gathering in the group.”

Mei Fang and Lin You Xi drove home together. The first thing Lin You Xi did was take a shower. When she came out, Mei Fang was looking at his phone. She approached him, “What are you doing?”

“Making appointments. Just finished.”

“What did you say? Will everyone come?”

“Most replied they’re free this Saturday, except Yue Xinyi hasn’t responded yet.”

“She’s been handling some operations work lately, so she might be busier.”

“That’s how it is. There’s a lot to do.”

Lin You Xi’s wet hair smelled of shampoo. Mei Fang looked up and asked, “Want me to dry your hair?”

“No, I’ll do it. We’re no longer together.”

Lin You Xi went to the living room to dry her hair. Mei Fang watched her back and sighed.

This clever wife… turns into a drama queen quickly.

After drying her hair, Lin You Xi lay down on the sofa with Mei Fang to watch TV. As she grew tired, Mei Fang kindly asked:

“Do you want to nap?”

“Okay…” Lin You Xi rubbed her cheeks and asked Mei Fang, “Afang, do you want to sleep with me?”

“Sure, come to my room.”

“I was joking. Why are you taking it seriously… We’re no longer together.”

Lin You Xi went to her room for a nap, which made Mei Fang feel very uncomfortable.

Why are you teasing me, then bringing up breaking up again…

Like stopping a game!

Mei Fang felt depressed and returned to his bedroom. After lying down for less than half an hour, Lin You Xi opened the door:

“While I was sleeping, I had an idea. Given the difficulty in creating a sense of love, I decided to add a twist to our dating game. Each week, we’ll summarize and vote on which pair has a stronger sense of love. This will last nine weeks. After nine weeks, whichever side has the higher score will officially announce their relationship with Afang, okay?”

“That sounds like a very tiring reality show… You and Yuyuan will bear the burden. Isn’t that unfair?”

“I think it’s fine. Everyone votes, it’s fair and open. We’ll ask Yuyuan when she returns.”

Lin You Xi thought for a moment, “And you don’t have to worry about neglecting someone by voting. We can set the rule: after selecting the pair with a stronger sense of love each week, Afang must give resources to the other person. The winner can only watch but not participate.”

Mei Fang felt puzzled, “Why should the stronger pair not receive rewards?”

Lin You Xi smiled, “To gain a sense of love, one shouldn’t always think about intimate things. That wouldn’t be pure, and how can one feel that spark?”

“Thinking about intimate things prevents creating a sense of love—there are gains and losses, making it fair, right?”

“After you put it that way, it suddenly seems interesting…”

Mei Fang scratched his chin, confused.

Damn dog Mei, you’re not going to have a good end!
