98 Date Begins
Seeing the disappointment in Meng Zhu’s eyes, Carol slowly believed it. Perhaps Fang Ming had not confirmed his relationship with the girl, so his family had not made it public.
“But if she’s the same age as you, isn’t she underage?” Carol frowned. She felt that she might not know Fang Ming well enough.
“Isn’t she coming of age in a year?” Meng Zhu did not think there was a problem, but Carol still did not feel that Fang Ming was such a ridiculous person.
Seeing that her mother was still suspicious, Meng Zhu sighed and said, “It’s true. I’m not lying to you. That girl’s name is Yuan Xiao. She went to the Fang family previously. Aunt Wei Lan and Uncle Yuan have already met her.”
“Yuan Xiao?” Carol had heard too many unbelievable things recently. Wasn’t the girl Yuan Xiao the young lady who had helped her write the song previously?
Carol felt that her ability to accept things was strong enough. Meng Zhu’s words still left her in disbelief.
“Shouldn’t the child called Yuan Xiao be with Fang Yao?” Carol remembered that when she was rehearsing for Yuan Xiao and the others, Fang Yao was obviously very concerned about Yuan Xiao. At that time, she thought that the two children looked compatible. How did Fang Ming get involved not long after?
“Fang Yao?” Hearing his mother’s words, Meng Zhu’s expression became serious. No wonder Fang Yao spoke up for Yuan Xiao today. Moreover, his attitude was obviously very concerned about Yuan Xiao.
“This girl is too much!” Meng Zhu thought carefully about Yuan Xiao’s previous performance and felt that this girl was too scheming. “No, I can’t let Brother Fang Ming be deceived!”
Meng Zhu walked confidently to the bedroom on the second floor. She had already planned in her heart to reveal Yuan Xiao’s true colors to the public.
“Zhu Zhu?” Carol smiled as she watched her daughter walk upstairs in all seriousness. She felt that this child must have misunderstood. After thinking about it, she decided not to interfere with her. After all, even if it was wrong, these experiences belonged to the beautiful memories of her adolescence.
The next morning, Fang Yao arrived at Yuan Xiao’s house punctually.
As soon as Yuan Xiao went downstairs, she saw Fang Yao leaning against the motorcycle. He was wearing a black casual jacket and dark gray denim pants.
“Xiao Xiao!” Fang Yao’s eyes were filled with surprise when he saw Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao must have dressed up meticulously today. She was wearing a long cream-white coat. Her chest-length hair was slightly curled, and she had light makeup on. Fang Yao felt that Yuan Xiao’s appearance was both surprising and unfamiliar.
“Didn’t you say 10 o’clock? Why are you here so early?” Yuan Xiao had already seen Fang Yao downstairs in front of the window. She was still washing up when Fang Yao arrived.
“I woke up too early this morning. I was bored at home, so I rode my bike directly to your house.” Fang Yao had a smile on his face. It was even more obvious when he saw Yuan Xiao.
“Then let’s go. I’ll go along with your arrangements today.” Fang Yao put the helmet on Yuan Xiao’s head and let her sit behind him. When her arm wrapped around his waist, Fang Yao’s body clearly stiffened.
“Let’s go. Hold on tight.” Fang Yao put on the helmet, lowered his body slightly, and rode towards the amusement park.
Because it was a holiday, there were many people in the amusement park. Except for couples with children, most of them were young couples.
Yuan Xiao remembered that the last time he came to the amusement park with Fang Yao was to catch the person who had spread rumors about him on the school forum. Moreover, the two of them even separated because of some small emotions.
Perhaps he was too slow. Last time at the amusement park, Fang Yao might have wanted to confess to her, but his attitude had never been serious, making Fang Yao sad. He even said that she had no conscience.
When Yuan Xiao thought of these things, she felt that not much time had passed.
“What’s wrong? Which rides are we going to play first?” Fang Yao saw that Yuan Xiao was thinking about something and gently pulled her hand.
“Anything is fine. I said that I’ll listen to your arrangements today.” Yuan Xiao felt the warmth in Fang Yao’s hand and held him tightly.
Fang Yao was surprised by Yuan Xiao’s initiative today. It was his first time receiving such treatment. Fang Yao looked at Yuan Xiao with a much gentler gaze.
“Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong with you today?” Fang Yao felt that Yuan Xiao seemed to have become a different person, but he also liked her like this.
“It’s nothing.” Yuan Xiao pulled Fang Yao and thought of the many things she had experienced before. She smiled and said to him, “I just feel that I seem to like you more and more.”
Yuan Xiao’s sudden confession made Fang Yao completely lose his sense of propriety. His heart suddenly beat faster. Although Fang Yao was very happy, he felt that everything that happened in front of him was a little unreal.
