Chapter 315: The Nation’s Childhood Sweethearts

Mei Fang’s public reveal during the reflection session wasn’t just for show—it was all part of the plan.

This move wasn’t just about flexing. He had orchestrated this moment to add more legend to his entrepreneurial story and pave the way for his university journey.

Who could resist the tale of a self-made high schooler who, without relying on family connections, had built a fortune worth millions and a company valued in the billions?

Professional photographer Wan Chaoxiong edited and released footage of the reflection incident, finally unveiling the mysterious founders of C-Site to the world—

The earliest version of C-Site was developed by Mei Fang and Lin Youxi when they were in middle school. [Shan You Lin Xi] (Mountains Have Woods) was, in essence, two people.

Mei Fang handled the public-facing role of the original “大小姐” (Big Miss), while Lin Youxi was the brains behind the website’s development.

But no matter how you looked at it, since the name was [Shan You Lin Xi], there was no doubt—in the public’s eyes, at least—that C-Station belonged to Lin Youxi.

Therefore, the Young Miss was real. Lin Youxi was Xi Bao, and Xi Bao was the Big Miss.

A campus goddess whose beauty rivaled Yuan Bao’s, with an icy aura that dominated the room.

This was Lin Youxi’s first public appearance, and along with it came the revelation of the trio’s unbreakable bond as childhood sweethearts—neatly sidestepping any messy love triangle drama.

The video topped trending searches that same day.

Mei Fang’s skyrocketing fame attracted a flood of media interview requests, far surpassing the buzz around Journey of Clouds.

This time, the enthusiasm was on another level. In mainstream eyes, indie games and internet ventures weren’t even in the same league—

And here was Mei Fang, a legendary high schooler straddling music, gaming, and online video, a future superstar in the making.

From the pile of interview invites, Mei Fang chose the most influential one—a feature from a major Beijing outlet. The rest were politely declined. He wasn’t one for the spotlight, but when he stepped into it, he made sure it counted.

Since this interview would feature all three of them, they had to prepare accordingly.

Before heading out, Mei Fang reminded Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi:

“Answer most questions honestly, but if they bring up relationships, shut it down. Just say we’re still students and it’s not appropriate to discuss.”

“They’re Beijing reporters—they should know better than to ask tasteless questions.”

As Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan got ready in front of the mirror, Xia Yuan beckoned Mei Fang over.

“Ah Fang, come here, let me put a little makeup on you.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to go barefaced? Students should look natural… Besides, you two look fine without it.”

“A light touch never hurts. Sometimes there’s a pimple or uneven skin tone—just a bit of concealer. Come here, let me fix you up.”

Mei Fang obliged, sitting before the mirror as Xia Yuan gently dabbed foundation on him.

The reflection showed a clean-cut young man with delicate features—not razor-sharp or strikingly handsome, but with the warm, approachable charm of the boy next door.

“Our Ah Fang… you’ve grown up so much.”

Xia Yuan pinched his cheeks playfully, leaning in to admire their reflection together.

“Ah Fang, do we look like a married couple like this?”

In the mirror, Xia Yuan’s smile was radiant, pure and heart-stoppingly lovely.

But to Mei Fang, her beauty wasn’t the focus anymore—

Because this face belonged to his Yuan Yuan.

Huh… so this is what they mean by ‘not noticing your wife’s beauty.’

Patting her hand, he nodded softly, lost in the moment.

“There’s a bit of that vibe, but it’s not complete.”

“Can’t you just sweet-talk me? Do you have to bring Youxi into it?”

Xia Yuan smacked his arm in mock annoyance—just as Lin Youxi, now fully prepped, suddenly appeared in the mirror, pressing against them.

“Like this?”

“…”

“…”

The sight of all three in the mirror made Xia Yuan and Mei Fang burst out laughing.

“Okay, this actually looks right.”

Lin Youxi smirked. “We’ve taken enough photos together by now.”

Xia Yuan nodded. “It’s weird… after all this time, I still never get tired of us.”

“If you ever do, just say so.”

“As if! You think I’d let you have Ah Fang all to yourself? I’ll never get tired of him!”

Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang into a possessive hug. “And even if I did, I’d just remodel him into whatever version I like.”

“Wow, I’m basically a robot to you.”

“There’s still Uni Ah Fang, CEO Ah Fang, and… hmm… Dad Ah Fang.”

“Kids are way off… unless you’re in a hurry?”

“N-No! Of course not! We’ve still got college, and we need all three families to approve first.”

Xia Yuan sighed. “Even though Ah Fang explained over the phone, my dad keeps calling me lately. He’s so worried I’m heartbroken.”

“He’s just looking out for you. He doesn’t want you getting hurt.”

“I’m this close to telling him the truth about us three—I think it’d actually put him at ease.”

“At least your dad calls. When I video-call my mom, she only fusses over you two and acts like I don’t exist.”

Lin Youxi rested her head on Mei Fang’s shoulder. “That just means she trusts us to take care of you. It’s her way of acknowledging we’ve grown up.”

“True enough.”

Mei Fang smiled, wrapping his arms around both of them as they savored the quiet moment.


The interview went smoothly. Sitting in the studio, the trio shared stories of their past—Mei Fang’s first entrepreneurial ventures, Xia Yuan’s runaway plans, Lin Youxi’s grave-visiting ritual, and how the girls had worked together to keep Mei Fang in their lives.

Of course, the interview couldn’t escape mentioning Mei Fang’s infamous “Bedwetting King” phase, along with other small, unglamorous but heartwarming childhood tales.

These were the kinds of stories anyone could relate to—and when the segment aired, it struck a chord nationwide. Countless netizens reminisced about their own childhood sweethearts, the playmates they’d long since lost touch with.

But more than nostalgia, the comments overflowed with melancholy—

When did we grow apart?

Why did we let those bonds fade?

The trio’s journey—both entrepreneurial and personal—sparked a wave of national sentiment, a collective yearning for the simplicity of childhood connections.

And in the midst of this cultural moment, they were crowned:

“The Nation’s Childhood Sweethearts.”

During the interview, Mei Fang also dropped hints about his university plans.

Ideally, he wanted to stay close to his childhood sweethearts. Attending the same school would be a dream.

And just like that, a flood of university offers came pouring in.

It was time to plan for the future.
