Chapter 216: Picnic and San Guo Sha
The first activity held in the evening was a picnic.
Although it was meant to imitate scenes from anime and TV dramas, bringing bento boxes up the mountain felt like a luxury. Everyone had only brought common snacks like instant noodles, spicy strips, chicken drumsticks, and cookies.
Even so, sitting together on various picnic blankets, slurping instant noodles, and enjoying drinks was very relaxing and pleasant.
The boys sat together on a large picnic blanket playing San Guo Sha (Legends of the Three Kingdoms)[1] and poker, while the girls sat together chatting and discussing popular topics of interest.
Mei Fang was one of the few boys sitting among the girls.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to blend in with the boys in his class. After all, San Guo Sha was a very popular and enjoyable board game among students.
However, Xia Yuan was very clingy and wanted Mei Fang to join her on their picnic blanket to eat and play together.
Mei Fang thought about it and decided that being with Xia Yuan was more fun. So, he persuaded Wan Chaoxiong to join him and bring his San Guo Sha cards over to play with the girls.
“Let’s play San Guo Sha together!”
“Sure! I’ve wanted to play this with everyone ever since I saw you having so much fun during P.E. class.”
“Make sure to listen carefully and don’t act like a wild girl, messing up the rules and flipping other people’s role cards randomly,” Wan Chaoxiong warned Xiang Bingbing. “You have a history of that.”
“Ahahaha, Wan Chaoxiong, you’re so petty, holding a grudge over something that happened so long ago.”
After Wan Chaoxiong sat down, Mei Fang was also looking for a place to sit. Since he had already been intimate with Youxi earlier, he actively chose to sit between Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu. However, as soon as Mei Fang sat down and Xia Yuan was making room for him, Liu Xiaoyu immediately stood up.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing...” Liu Xiaoyu glanced at Lin Youxi. “Do you want to sit here?”
“It’s fine as it is. Why do I always need to sit next to Ah Fang?” Lin Youxi smiled slightly at Liu Xiaoyu. “Doesn’t that make it seem like Ah Fang is always surrounded by girls? He’s not that lucky.”
“Uh, um...”
Liu Xiaoyu was feeling very flustered right now, one could say she was in a state of complete panic.
She had inadvertently discovered Mei Fang and Lin Youxi’s secret. Their intimate interactions had clearly crossed the boundaries of typical childhood sweethearts. These were actions that only lovers would do.
But Yuan Yuan seems completely unaware of this.
Is she really unaware or just doesn’t care?
From what I know about Yuan Yuan... it should be the former, right?
Then doesn’t that mean Mei Fang——
Even though he and Youxi have become lovers, is he still enjoying the childhood sweetheart relationship with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan?
However, by this reasoning, Mei Fang was certainly a scumbag without a doubt. But Lin Youxi’s behavior also left her confused.
At this moment, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were intimately chatting and asking about the rules of San Guo Sha, while Lin Youxi was attentively listening to Wan Chaoxiong’s explanation.
Liu Xiaoyu couldn’t fathom any reason why Lin Youxi wouldn’t feel jealous about this scene.
Unless they’re not lovers?
But if they aren’t lovers, then how could they——
Liu Xiaoyu’s mind was in turmoil.
Regardless, Yuan Yuan being kept in the dark is truly tragic.
After all, anyone could tell how much she likes Mei Fang.
Sigh...
Should I meddle in this matter?
Or keep this secret?
【I captured silhouettes of penguins and glaciers in Antarctica】
【In the vast universe, every life is lonely】
“Bravo! That was amazing!”
“You will definitely become a superstar duo someday.”
A classmate asked Xia Yuan, “By the way, Yuan Yuan, why does this song sound so philosophical and different from the sweet songs you usually sing?”
Embarrassed, Xia Yuan scratched her head, “Ahaha... Ah Fang gave me the lyrics, and I composed the melody to match it.”
Lyrics by Mei Fang...
Yuan Yuan composing the song...
Liu Xiaoyu started to understand some things.
She had actually participated in the making of The Vastness of the Universe. Initially, she didn’t think much of it, but now, reflecting on the lyrics, she found them deeply unsettling.
Mei Fang and Youxi are already lovers, but Mei Fang has no way to directly express his feelings to Yuan Yuan, so he can only continue to maintain their friendship and use the lyrics of this song to hint at his feelings for her?
In that case... Youxi allowing Mei Fang and Yuan Yuan to be close without getting jealous should also be a form of apology?
Come to think of it, if Yuan Yuan finds out about this, she will definitely be very heartbroken, and the relationship between the three of them will come to an end.
That’s why they kept it a secret...
But it can’t be kept a secret forever, right?
It’s so unfair to Yuan Yuan.
Liu Xiaoyu remained silent, her head bowed and slightly clenched her fists.
