In Guo Yun’s eyes, Mei Fang had always been the most popular boy in the class. He was good-looking, had many friends, excelled in his studies, and was also very familiar with the class monitor, Lin Youxi.
So she couldn’t imagine that someone like Mei Fang would take the initiative to talk to her. When Mei Fang called out to her, she was so surprised that she stood there for a while before realizing he was calling her, which made Mei Fang a little embarrassed.
“Um… thank you! Sorry for the trouble.”
Mei Fang and Tang Yu moved from their seats, and Guo Yun carefully passed by their seats. Due to her larger size, she accidentally nudged their seats and almost knocked over Mei Fang’s cup, causing her ears to turn red.
“It’s okay, I’ll move it. You can go ahead.”
Guo Yun hurriedly ran out of the classroom, and Mei Fang also got up. He noticed Lin Youxi was reading a novel, so he peeked at the content.
【Hu Xingxing has a childhood sweetheart who has always caused trouble for him. One day, the childhood sweetheart, Xia Zhuma, asked for his help, and Hu Xingxing agreed without hesitation.】
【Xia Zhuma leisurely took out the script and said, “There’s a kissing scene tomorrow, my first on-screen kiss, I have no experience, so I want to practice with you.”】
【Hu Xingxing agreed in a daze.】

“It’s nothing. What’s the title of that novel?”
“What novel? You didn’t see anything just now.”
Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang calmly, but Mei Fang felt the terrifying killing intent emanating from her. He immediately surrendered, “Okay… I didn’t see anything…”
“From now on, you can’t peek at what I’m doing. Since this is your first offense, I’ll forgive you.”
Lin Youxi laid down rules for Mei Fang, “If you need something from me in the future, you have to poke me first, just like I used to do to you.”
Is it really safe for me and Youxi to be alone together, given that she reads this kind of inappropriate content every day?
It seems I need to be on guard against more than just Yuan Yuan crossing the line…
Mei Fang nodded and agreed, feeling a sense of sadness for the first time, thinking:
My Youxi is being corrupted by online novels.
It was the era of popular online novels. People relieve their stress by reading online novels or youth magazines. Boys loved to read fantasy books like “Purple River,” “Divine Grave,” “Mercenary World,” and “Legend of the Seven Realms,” while girls were obsessed with various historical and modern romance novels.
Literature depicting sadness is one of the few common interests between boys and girls. Popular books in this genre, such as “Triple Door,” “His Nation,” “Cry Me a Sad River,” and “Tiny Times,” are the most sought-after among readers.
Although copying other people’s ideas from his previous life was the extent of Mei Fang’s ability to write, after being reborn, he once had the idea of writing web novels. However, he realized that web novel authors had an uncertain future and earned very little until their books became popular. They had to update regularly, sometimes without breaks throughout the year.
What’s even worse was that authors not only had to endure the difficulty of writing but they were also criticized and scrutinized by readers in the comments section every day. Some heartless readers would even directly insult the authors’ families, subjecting them to mental torment.
If Mei Fang were to evaluate such work, it would be even more challenging than tending cattle and horses.
It was no wonder there were few protagonists in online novels who, after being reborn, returned to writing novels.
Guo Yun rarely takes the initiative to leave her seat. Mei Fang noticed that she always waited until her two deskmates on the left had left their seats before getting up. Despite this, she often faced complaints from Yu Lin and Li Danning. She could only express her apologies frequently and occasionally ask Mei Fang to pass through their side.
This was due to the unreasonable seating arrangement. However, with a large number of students in the classroom and compulsory nine-year education, it was indeed an unavoidable situation.
In an attempt to solve the current problem, one day Guo Yun brought some chocolate snacks and shared them with the people around her. However, the girls in her group did not respond positively to her kindness.
She wanted to give some to Tang Yu, who was focused on studying, but he ignored her when she spoke to him.
Only Mei Fang, upon seeing Guo Yun’s chocolate, actively approached her to ask for some.
“Wow, this is expensive Teuscher chocolate.”
Mei Fang deliberately feigned surprise and said to Guo Yun with a smile, “Guo Yun, you are really generous.”
“Take more… If you like it, take as much as you want.”
“I can’t eat so much… Can I share some with others?”
“Of course! You can share it with whoever you want.”
Guo Yun looked happy.
So Mei Fang took the chocolate she got from Guo Yun and shared it with Lin Youxi. To avoid being disliked by Youxi, Mei Fang respectfully poked her first.
“These chocolates are from Guo Yun. I’ll give you some.”
“I’ll just take one.”
Lin Youxi took a chocolate from Mei Fang and then glanced at Guo Yun, who was watching them, nodding at her.
“No, no need to thank me! Do you want more? I still have some.”
“No, I only want one.”
Guo Yun was very happy.
The sweet interaction between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi triggered Yue Xinyi’s sugar radar. She turned her head and noticed that everyone was eating chocolate, so she couldn’t help but shout:
“Oh, do you still have some to eat? I need to replenish my sugar levels. Can you share some with me?”
“I still have some, I’ll give it all to you,” Mei Fang said, stuffing the chocolate into Yue Xinyi’s hands. “This was given by Guo Yun.”
“Oh, thank you!” Yue Xinyi smiled at Guo Yun, who awkwardly scratched her head in embarrassment.
Mei Fang intentionally brought Lin Youxi and Yue Xinyi into contact with Guo Yun. As a result, Yue Xinyi and Guo Yun’s conversations became more frequent, and she became the only girl around Guo Yun who would actively engage in conversation with her.
However, not everyone around them was indifferent. Mei Fang’s actions bothered Tang Yu, who was focused on studying and found the environment noisy and unpleasant.
One day, he approached Li Shibing and requested a seat change. However, he didn’t explicitly express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he cited the reason as to make it easier for Guo Yun to move in and out, claiming he didn’t like frequently standing up to give way, disrupting his study rhythm.
Li Shibing, of course, didn’t agree to Tang Yu’s request based on this reason alone. He spoke to Mei Fang and Zhang Ming to hear their opinions.
After all, this involved a change in groups, and as group leaders and top students in the class, Li Shibing trusted them and wanted to know if there was any conflict between Tang Yu and Guo Yun.
“As for Guo Yun… I haven’t paid much attention to her. I think she’s okay,” Zhang Ming scratched his head. “It’s just that she’s more introverted and doesn’t talk to us much, so she seems a bit isolated.”
Mei Fang thought to himself:
This guy only hangs out with the good-looking Lu Xueqing, helping her with explanations and problems. He never paid attention to our side.
Mei Fang shook his head and told Li Shibing what he knew, including the fact that the girls on Zhang Ming’s side didn’t treat Guo Yun well.
“Huh? They haven’t had a fight. I think this kind of friction is normal. Although it’s indeed inconvenient to sit at the innermost seat,” Zhang Ming said.
“There’s no way around it. Our classroom is just this small. Since the situation is , I think it’s fine for Tang Yu and Guo Yun to change seats. He probably just wants to study well. It depends on whether you have any objections, Mei Fang. If you’re fine with it, I’ll talk to Guo Yun.”
“Me? It’s fine, of course…”
Normally, Yuan Yuan would be jealous if I sit at the same desk with other girls. Although it’s very rude for me to say this, but Guo Yun should be… fine, haha.
So Mei Fang nodded and said, “I can sit beside Guo Yun, no problem.”
