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

Chapter 78: Childhood Sweethearts Promise



Chapter 78: Childhood Sweethearts Promise

Mei Fang didnt expect Lin Youxi to confide in Xia Yuan about her feelings so quickly. It seemed that running for class monitor and saving money to buy a gift for her father had a significant impact on Lin Youxis character development.

However, even if Lin Youxi didnt bring it up tonight, Mei Fang still planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xia Yuan.

After finishing dinner, Mei Fang went to Xia Yuans house to do homework together. It seemed that Xia Yuan had been waiting for Mei Fang for a long time, as she hurriedly pulled Mei Fang into her room.

Ah Fang, can you help me figure out how to explain things to Xiaoxue tomorrow? After I got home, I thought that if I directly tell her that you and Youxi dont like to hang out with her, it feels like your relationship with her might not be as close in the future.

Friends of friends dont necessarily become friends, which is actually quite common, so its not necessary to force a close relationship.

Instead of that, Id rather hear you talk about your friend I just met her today, and I need to know what kind of person she is so I can give you some advice.

So Xia Yuan roughly told Mei Fang about how she got to know Peng Xue. They became deskmates when they changed their seats after the class committee election. During Xia Yuans most difficult study time, Peng Xue often shared her snacks and cute stickers and accessories with her, and the two gradually became close.

And then Xiaoxue she even wrote me an encouraging note before the mid-term exam, believing that I would get good grades.

Xia Yuan vividly described Peng Xues kindness to Mei Fang, She knows more about Baimei County than we do, and shes very familiar with the shops in the town. I was thinking of accepting her invitation to take us to the new skating rink this weekend! But since you dont like her, Ill just refuse then

Dont rush to refuse, that would be unnecessary. Youxi just doesnt want studying or hanging out with others to become a regular thing, but occasionally shes willing. Just like this time if you really want to go to the skating rink, then go.

Does that mean I should go with Xiaoxue alone?

Of course not, Ill go with you. As for Youxi it depends on her own feelings.

Xia Yuan nodded happily, holding Mei Fangs hand and tucking the hand warmer into her arms for warmth.

Chatting with Ah Fang is always the most comfortable. Many things I couldnt understand became clear all of a sudden. Oh, by the way, it seems like you had a conversation with Xiaoxue tonight? I guess you dont actually dislike her, but you just went along with it because Youxi doesnt like her, right?

Yeah

Mei Fang propped up his chin and pondered, How should I put it? This might sound a bit narcissistic of me but Ill still share my own thoughts and let you know.

Great! Its great that you can tell me.

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded, As expected of my good friend. Dont keep secrets from me. Tell me, Im listening!

Well, I feel

Mei Fang scratched his head, Your deskmate seems to be interested in me.

Hmm.

Huh?

Ahhh?!

Xia Yuans happy expression faded as she exclaimed, Is it true? What did she say to make you feel this way? Hurry and tell me every single word she said!

She said that among the boys she knows, none are as gentle and considerate as me, and then

Mei Fang simply relayed Peng Xues words to Xia Yuan without adding any exaggeration.

Well, although its true

Blushing, Xia Yuan kept twirling her fingers, Oh, its all my fault for always talking about you in front of her, making her so interested in you. Its my fault.

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuans head, So, in the future, talk less about me in front of others. Some may envy you, but more will think youre just showing off. Its not a good thing.

By the way What do you actually think of her? Of course, studies are our priority as students, Im just curious about your opinion of her

In what aspect?

Y-you know that aspect.

Xia Yuan said seriously, We are the closest childhood sweethearts, you have to tell me the truth.

Honestly, she can be considered cute.

Mei Fang intentionally looked at Xia Yuans reaction; she seemed a bit nervous, and with a red face, her eyes kept adverting.

But compared to our Yuan Yuan, shes basically incomparable.

Mei Fang gently patted Xia Yuans head, Our Yuan Yuan is the cutest in the world.

Why do you keep saying our! Its so embarrassing.

Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fangs hand inside the hand warmer, If she still wants to walk with us after the evening self-study, Ill just say I dont want to go with her Yeah, thats it!

Tsk tsk

You even consulted me on how to explain this to Peng Xue, but you instantly thought of a solution on your own after hearing what I said!

Mei Fang had finally made Xia Yuan to firmly reject Peng Xue to hang out with them after the evening self-study.

Just as Mei Fang was feeling proud of his clever maneuver, Xia Yuan suddenly took her hand out of the hand warmer and pretended to shiver, looking weak and helpless, Wuwu, its so cold, is there anyone kind enough to pity me?

Why is this girl suddenly acting

She really needs to be sent to an art school!

Mei Fang cooperatively stood up and hugged Xia Yuan.

Feeling warmer now? My dear Miss Xia

Um It doesnt feel cold if you hug me like this.

Xia Yuan hummed, Lets try again next summer.

Next summer, huh

Whats wrong? You dont want to?

No, of course not.

Ah Fang, you have to promise me something, um lets call it a childhood sweethearts promise.

Oh, what is it?

I think we should focus on studying and not think about other things, like being too close with girls. What do you think?

Then what were currently doing now, is it considered

We are childhood sweethearts, hugging is no big deal.

Mei Fang took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. Then you have to promise too

Mei Fang said softly, We should study hard and get into Baimei No.1 High School together.

Yes, of course!

Xia Yuan leaned on Mei Fangs shoulder, squinting her eyes and smiling sweetly, I will work super hard and give it my all.

We must strive to be in the same class this time, um the three of us, with Youxi.

After meeting Peng Xue, whenever Xia Yuan invited Peng Xue to join an activity, Mei Fang would also go along.

Due to the psychological preparation Mei Fang had given Xia Yuan before, Xia Yuan always stuck to Mei Fang during their outings, never giving Peng Xue and Mei Fang a chance to be alone together.

As for Mei Fang, based on his current understanding of Peng Xue, he still saw her as just a simple girl who liked fashionable clothes, although she occasionally had some precocious thoughts.

Perhaps influenced by Xia Yuan, she was also very focused on her studies and valued her exam results.

Mei Fang initially worried that Xia Yuan might be negatively influenced by Peng Xue, but perhaps he underestimated the influence Xia Yuan had on others. Her smile truly has the power to affect those around her.

Looking back now, perhaps in the previous life, Peng Xue eventually became a rebellious troublemaker who dropped out of school and transferred to another due to a combination of factors from her family, school, and friends.

Back then, Mei Fang was neither Peng Xues friend nor understood her inner thoughts; he was merely an observer.

However, if someone had reached out to her in her time of need, perhaps she wouldnt have ended up in that situation.

Of course, its too early to completely judge Peng Xues character now.

But for Mei Fang, he can afford to relax his guard a bit for now.

The year 2008 concluded in a simple and ordinary manner.

After experiencing the last winter snowfall of 2008, everyone endured the bitter cold to complete their final journey of the first semester. In the final exams, the three achieved results that satisfied them.

As the first winter vacation arrived, in less than four or five days, the Lunar New Year of 2009 would be upon them.

But for Lin Youxi, this will surely going to be a once-in-a-lifetime and unforgettable New Years memory.
