Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 44: Still a Little Padded Jacket

It seemed that Mei Fang misunderstood Lin Youxi. Obviously, Xia Yuan still doesnt know that he will be moving next year.

However, seeing her so happy, there was no way to directly tell her

After more than a month of holding it in, Xia Yuan finally broke free from her fathers embrace and became very cheerful.

A Fang, let me tell you something, she said.

After this month, I realized something.

What is it?

Xia Yuan smiled and said, I realized that I dont really need my dads company anymore.

Is it because the time when you needed him the most has passed?

Well thats also a factor, but more importantly

As Xia Yuan walked, she began to jump like a lively and cute little rabbit. Always clinging to your parents makes you feel like a child who never grows up. But now, I can even run away from home. I have changed a lot.

Hey, stinky brat, did you run away from home on your own?

Im embarrassed to point it out! You shameful face!

Mei Fang didnt even bother to count how many times she cried on the way to Jiangcheng with Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan enjoyed breathing in the fresh air on the road. When passing by Lin Youxis house, she looked around.

Do you want to wait for Youxi to go to school together?

Well I was thinking about it

Xia Yuan wore a very distressed expression. But the thing is, we are not in the same class, and Youxi leaves early. Its not easy to arrange a time Ill ask her today to see if she wants to go to school together.

Thats a good idea. Mei Fang nodded. If the two of us always go to school together, people in the class will gossip. If three of us go together, they will at most say Im a mamas boy, always hanging out with girls.

Who dares to call you a mamas boy? Zou Ming? Or Chen Cheng? Their grades are not as good as yours, they are not as handsome as you, and their personalities are more childish. They just cant stand seeing others doing well. Those kinds of people are the most annoying.

Xia Yuan said angrily, Next time during nap time, if I see them not sleeping properly, I will immediately write down their names

Isnt that seeking revenge?

No! Im just maintaining classroom discipline. Im not that shallow of a girl

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang chatted happily all the way. When they reached the school gate, they ran into an old acquaintance from their kindergarten days.

It was their kindergarten classmate, Du Zihan.

He was leaning with his arms crossed against the pillar at the school gate, pretending to be solemn and dignified. When he saw Mei Fang and Xia Yuan staring at him in surprise, he proudly raised his head, as if waiting for his destined enemy.

Du Zihan, what are you doing here?

Mei Fang, Ive been waiting for you for a long time!

Du Zihan pretended to be cool and put his hand in his pocket. Then he took out an envelope from his pocket, on which the words Challenge Letter were written crookedly. He threw it on the ground in front of Mei Fang, and Xia Yuan picked it up out of curiosity.

A challenge letter?

Thats right, it seems like you still recognize a few characters, old lady.

Xia Yuans face turned red with anger. Dont call me old lady! Why are you so rude! Last time, you ran away like a coward during the competition with Mei Fang, and now youre barking here!

This was the most vicious insult Xia Yuan could think of, but Du Zihan ignored it.

From beginning to end, he had only one goal.

After this period of diligent practice, my roller skating skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Now I have enough confidence and strength to defeat you. This Saturday afternoon at 2 oclock, we will compete at the Cultural Square to see who is the true roller skating king!

Speaking of which we havent gone roller skating for a long time

Xia Yuans interest was piqued, but then she became conflicted. But this week, I made plans to dance with Song Sisi and Lu Yixuan. I dont have time to go roller skating.

Then lets not go. Mei Fang said, I also have things to do.

Mei Fang had to think of a way to convince his parents to let him stay in Bai Mei County.

Mei Fang, do you think you can just forget about humiliating me last time? Du Zihan snorted, You think you can get away with it?

Mei Fang rubbed his chin and frowned, Speaking of which, you havent apologized to Lin Youxi yet. Why should I keep our agreement?

With a red face, Du Zihan hesitated for a while, then promised Mei Fang, If I lose again this time, I will apologize to Lin Youxi in front of her! Ill even kneel down on the spot!

No need to kneel, then lets consider it a win for you.

Mei Fang deliberately coughed heavily a few times, then shook his head and answered in a deep voice, Actually, I have already retired from the roller skating world and no longer involve myself in it.

Du Zihan never expected that his acknowledged archenemy would turn out to be such a useless person. Coward! Just get lost! Go to Baizhou City and never come back. Dont let me, Du Zihan, see you again at the Cultural Square. I wont have to acknowledge you as my good son!

Baizhou City? What does that mean?

Xia Yuan tilted her head in confusion, while Mei Fang immediately realized:

He seemed to have noticed before, when they were in kindergarten, that Du Zihans father, Du Yingjun, and Mei Lijun were colleagues.

What is it? How come you, old lady, still dont know? Mei Fangs father

Du Zihan, your zipper is open!

What!? Wait, let me

Du Zihan was scared and quickly checked his pants zipper, while Mei Fang had already pushed Xia Yuan and hurriedly slipped into the teaching building.

Hey, Mei Fang! Youre not allowed to run!

Mei Fang ignored Du Zihans shout and ran with Xia Yuan all the way.

Me Mei Fang wait a moment

Xia Yuan grabbed Mei Fang and made him stop, Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? Did you not want Du Zihan to say something? What does going to Baizhou City mean?

I know youre in a hurry, but dont rush. Listen to me slowly. I only found out from my dad last night

In the Chinese language class.

Today, we will learn a classical Chinese text, the well-known story of Jingwei Tries to Fill Up the Sea'[gnfn-1]. This is a new challenge for everyone. Have you all prepared in advance? Now, lets invite our Chinese study committee member, Xia Yuan, to recite this ancient text for everyone.

Xia Yuan? Were you not paying attention in class?

Facing her mother, who was also the homeroom teacher, Xia Yuan just silently lowered her head and didnt say a word. Mei Fang nudged her arm, and she slowly came back to her senses, slowly straightening up.

Mei Fang quickly helped her flip to the correct page.

Xia Yuan, please read this text with emotion.

The daughter of the Flame Emperor, named Nuwa. Nuwa wandered in the East Sea, drowned and never returned, thus, thus becoming Jingwei. Always sob, always carrying wood and stones from the Western Mountains, to, to

Yin, with a falling tone, means to fill or block. The homeroom teacher furrowed her brows slightly, wondering why her daughter didnt prepare the lesson last night. To fill the East Sea.

Xia Yuans emotions are a bit too intense.

The homeroom teacher didnt understand why her precious daughter suddenly started crying. But remember to prepare your lessons well next time.

I understand

Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes and slowly sat down.

The homeroom teacher watched her daughters figure and started to wonder.

Could it be because her father didnt drive her to school today, so shes sulking?

This child.

Didnt she say she was starting to get tired of her father recently, but she still likes to cling to him.

Sigh shes already grown up, but shes still like a little padded jacket[gnfn-2].

The homeroom teacher felt a sense of contentment in her heart.
