Mei Fang was sound asleep in the realm of tenderness created by Xia Yuan when he suddenly felt someone gently tapping his head, awakening his slumbering soul.

“Wow, you said you’d come pick us up, but instead you came to the station to flaunt your lovey-dovey relationship, huh?!” Yue Xinyi said with a hint of annoyance.

“It seems you still haven’t gotten used to it… as expected,” Peng Xue said.

Mei Fang rubbed his eyes and woke up, only to see Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue standing there. Peng Xue smiling with her hands behind her back and Yue Xinyi looked annoyed.

The two were both dressed for vacation. In addition to their casual summer outfits, Yue Xinyi wore a sun hat while Peng Xue wore small sunglasses.

“Why that expression? Wipe off your drool quickly,” Yue Xinyi said.

“I haven’t fully woken up yet,” Mei Fang replied.

Sitting in a daze, Mei Fang’s mind was still filled with thoughts of Xia Yuan’s soft cushion. The sensation was truly unforgettable.

Oh no, the aftereffect is too strong.

Then Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi woke up almost simultaneously. Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes and, upon seeing Peng Xue, immediately went up to her and gave her a tight hug.

“Xiaoxue, long time no see!”

Yue Xinyi watched on with envy. However, she knew that her Class Monitor Youxi wouldn’t be so intimate with her.

Just as Yue Xinyi was feeling a bit disappointed, Xia Yuan also gave her a big hug.

“Xinyi too!”

No, I can’t… I’m a core staff member of C Site now, the trusted assistant of Class Monitor. I can’t easily switch sides!

Lin Youxi had clearly fallen into the same soft trap as Mei Fang. After she woke up, she was in a dazed state for quite some time before gradually coming to her senses.

“I envy you guys so much, being able to live independently in high school…” Yue Xinyi muttered, “And it’s the most enviable kind of cohabitation between the three of you!”

“It’s not as free as you think. We still have a guardian taking care of us here. It’s just that this time, during this National Day, Youxi’s mother—Aunt Liang—went back home,” Xia Yuan explained.

Although they had been together for a long time, Lin Youxi never talked about her family situation with anyone at school, and she didn’t let Xia Yuan mention it to others either. So, explaining it now was a bit troublesome.

“So, does that mean Yue Xinyi and I came at the wrong time?” Peng Xue whispered and teased Xia Yuan, covering her mouth, which earned her playful punches from Xia Yuan.

“Ah, no! Xiaoxue, you’re so annoying!”

The group laughed and joked as they walked out of the bus station, heading towards the taxi pick-up area.

Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue were a little surprised. “Aren’t we waiting for a bus?”

“Taking a bus and transferring would be more troublesome. It’s more convenient for us to take a taxi directly,” Mei Fang explained as he pushed the luggage cart over. “There are five of us in total, so we’ll need to take separate taxis.”

Mei Fang quickly came up with various strategies in his mind to balance the water, and he immediately decided on the order: “Yuan Yuan and Youxi, both of you take a taxi, while I’ll take a taxi with Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue.”

“Okay, got it.”

After Mei Fang got into the taxi, he helped the girls put their luggage in the backseat, and then they took a taxi to their apartment near Jiangcheng NOHS.

The taxi driver was a local from Jiangcheng, speaking a dialect that was a bit obscure and difficult to understand. However, Mei Fang could converse with him fluently, and the two of them chatted all the way without stopping, giving off an aura of being adept at dealing with adults.

In the backseat, Yue Xinyi whispered to Peng Xue, “Do you feel that Mei Fang is a bit different?”

“Really? I think he’s still the same,” Peng Xue shook her head and smiled. “He has always been more mature than his peers.”

Mei Fang’s taxi arrived near at the residential area first, but he didn’t rush to take the two girls inside the house.

“Youxi and Yuan Yuan’s taxi will be here soon. Let’s wait here, okay?”

“We’ll follow your lead.”

Peng Xue carried her luggage and together with Yue Xinyi, they gazed across the street at the school.

“So this is Jiangcheng NOHS…” Yue Xinyi said. “It doesn’t look much different from a university… It’s so big!”

Peng Xue couldn’t help but sigh, “If we had worked harder back in our third year of middle school, maybe we could… Haha, I’m thinking too far ahead.”

“Indeed, indeed.”

At that moment, Mei Fang quickly ran to the nearby supermarket and came back with a bag of drinks. Peng Xue immediately noticed a surprise when she picked up a drink.

“Oh, oh! How considerate of you, Mei Fang! You even bought my favorite Farmer’s Orchard. Attention to detail!”

“If you can’t have Farmer’s Orchard, you’ll complain. It’s to avoid trouble,” Mei Fang replied.

“Oh, I’m not that difficult to please…”

Peng Xue playfully pouted at Mei Fang, while Yue Xinyi disapproved of her behavior.

“Xiaoxue, don’t flirt with Mei Fang here. Yuan Yuan will scold you when she sees it later.”

“What flirting? I’m just being cute! Your words are too aggressive, Xiaoyizi!”

Meifang opened a bottle of C’estbon and started drinking.

“It seems like you two get along well now. You can even make such jokes without getting angry,” Mei Fang said and smiled slightly. “Are you two still sitting together?”

“I have no choice. Xiaoxue had a bad reputation in middle school, so no one dared to sit with her in high school. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her——”

“Oh, thank you so much… for being willing to put aside past grievances and taking pity on poor, weak, helpless me by sitting with me… and letting me see your lewd expression every day when you read those naughty books…”

“W-What lewd! It’s called an auntie smile, okay! You’re the shameful one!”

“Then you’re the lewd one! Nyah nyah, if you don’t like it then hit me!”

Peng Xue intentionally ran circles around Mei Fang while making faces at Yue Xinyi. Yue Xinyi was more modest and conservative, so she didn’t dare get close to Mei Fang. She could only watch helplessly as Peng Xue taunted her and then jumped up and down in anger.

“I say, you two, can you please pay a little attention to your image…” Mei Fang was criticizing the playful antics of Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi when a taxi slowly approached and stopped by the roadside, then Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi got out of the car.

“Phew… It’s so hot! I’m almost exhausted just from sitting in the car.”

Xia Yuan relaxed her shoulders and looked up to see Mei Fang at the intersection. She immediately waved at him and ran to him. She took a drink from his hand, then handed the last bottle to Lin Youxi, who had just finished paying the fare, and then walked over.

Did you just get here? Why didn’t you go straight back to the residential area? It’s so hot to wait outside like this.”

“Uh…”

Mei Fang was about to speak when Peng Xue chimed in, taking advantage of the opportunity. “It’s because your Ah Fang doesn’t want to arouse suspicion. He said we couldn’t enter your house until you two came back.”

Although Mei Fang didn’t say it directly, that was indeed his intention. It could only be said that Peng Xue was really smart.

Upon hearing this response, Xia Yuan was also elated. She patted Mei Fang’s shoulder and wiped away his sweat. “Now that we’re here, let’s go home quickly.”

The trio led the two guests to their apartment in the residential area.

“This is it! The legendary cohabitation house!”

“Change your shoes, change your shoes!” Xia Yuan urged from behind. “We just mopped the floor today!”

“Oh, I got it.”

Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi changed into slippers and entered the house. As they walked, they marveled, “Although the house is not big, it has the cozy and warm atmosphere of a small home.”

“Just the thought of the three of them living here every day makes me excited to the point of tears.”

“What’s so exciting? It’s just a normal three-bedroom apartment.”

Xia Yuan patted Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi’s shoulders. “Let me show you around inside. We’ve already informed Youxi’s mom in advance, and she has aired the sheets and bedding before leaving. You can sleep in her room tonight.”

“Please thank Auntie on my behalf!”

“Let’s go and take a look… I want to see the room you share with Youxi.”

As Xia Yuan led Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi to tour the rooms, Lin Youxi went to the kitchen to prepare their dinner.

Mei Fang had nothing else to do, so he also went to the kitchen to help Lin Youxi.

“Old friends came to visit, even though you seem indifferent on the surface…deep down you’re actually quite happy, right?”

Mei Fang pinched Lin Youxi’s shoulder and smiled at her, “I see you’ve prepared quite a feast for tonight’s dinner, Chief Lin?”

“It’s been a while since I cooked, so I’m taking this opportunity to practice a bit…”

Lin Youxi moved Mei Fang’s hand away from her shoulder and handed him a yam. She then smiled slightly and said, “By the way… I’ll also try making some new dishes I learned, which are good for your health.”

“Don’t make it sound like I’m weak or something!” Mei Fang felt quite annoyed.
