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

Chapter 68: I Will Cheer Up



Chapter 68: I Will Cheer Up

Let mehug you? Mei Fang hesitated for a moment, confirming Xia Yuans request again.

Is it not okay?

Its not that um I dont know how to put it.

He suddenly felt something strange.

He and Xia Yuan used to hug each other when they were children, mostly before the fourth grade.

As they grew up, their physical contact decreased significantly, whether in public or private, they rarely held hands anymore, and if they did, it was Xia Yuan taking the initiative to hold hands or link arms.

But when Mei Fang thought about this situation, he suddenly understood Xia Yuans feelings.

It was because Xia Yuan had always been the one taking the lead in their friendship that she emphasized this point now:

He can take the initiative to hug her.

Because its sad to not receive a response.

Especially when realizing that the distance between each other is getting farther which may eventually lead to becoming strangers.

This is the moment when a person feels the most insecure.

Whether its friendship or love, the principle is the same.

So Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan and slowly moved closer.

Then lets hug? But this is just a childhood friends hug.

Yeah!

Xia Yuan was delighted that Mei Fang agreed to her wish. She obediently sat on the armchair and quietly waited for Mei Fang to approach her.

He leaned down, and after their bodies touched, he awkwardly opened his arms and put his hands on the back of Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan didnt move toward him on her own. Instead, she softly whispered in Mei Fangs ear, Ah Fang, is this the first time youve taken the initiative to hug someone?

Well didnt we do it often when we were kids?

Nonsense. We only held hands a lot when we were kids.

Xia Yuan pouted and said, And what I meant was taking the initiative. It was always me holding your hand, you didnt take the initiative to hold mine, and even now, I cant feel you touching me at all, hold me tighter.

Mei Fang crossed his arms and gently hugged Xia Yuan, allowing her to lean on his shoulder.

Xia Yuan closed her eyes, with a smile on her face, looking very satisfied.

And she also opened her arms and hugged Mei Fang tightly.

Is this better?

Mmm much better.

After a while, Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan softly, How long should we keep hugging like this?

Well until my dad comes to knock on the door! Xia Yuan said as if murmuring in a dream.

Huh?

Haha, Im just kidding.

Xia Yuan opened her eyes, released Mei Fangs embrace, and smiled at him, Were you scared just now? Your heart was beating so fast!

Yuan Yuan, youve really changed.

Mei Fang looked dissatisfied, You used to be a little angel, how come you have so many mischievous thoughts and scare me like this.

So, do you not like the current me? Xia Yuan tilted her head.

How is that possible, of course I

Mei Fang was about to answer but he suddenly paused. After Xia Yuan realized why, she also looked embarrassed and muttered with her head down, T-today lets leave it at that. Thank you for giving me the super Ah Fang energy, I feel much better now.

Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes and then smiled at Mei Fang, I will cheer up and work hard to catch up with you guys!

Okay good.

Mei Fang would never tell Xia Yuan not to work hard.

Because he knew Xia Yuan was a strong and ambitious girl, and he was willing to support her in achieving her goals.

After contemplating about many things from his past life and the present, Mei Fang had a sleepless night, lying quietly in bed and staring at the ceiling.

Then, he wriggled around like a worm.

Then, he looked at the ceiling again.

Then, he wriggled around like a worm again.

Many years ago, there was a similar scene.

But that time, it was when I was hugged by Youxi.

Speaking of which, Yuan Yuan really is

She really had grown up.

Mei Fang hugged the blanket and wriggled like a worm again.

The next morning, as usual, Xia Yuan came to Mei Fangs house early to go to school together. She looked the same as usual.

Ah Fang, you didnt sleep well last night! You look tired, is it because you studied too late?

Its alright. I drank too much water last night, so I couldnt sleep well

Since they started identifying themselves as childhood friends, they always went to school together except when their parents picked them up.

But now, the Experimental Middle School is quite far from their homes, so in the mornings, they would take a bus. If they were lucky, they might run into Lin Youxi.

This time, they did run into Lin Youxi. Since it was getting colder now, she was constantly rubbing her hands together to keep warm. When she saw Mei Fang and Xia Yuan coming, she took the initiative to greet them. They noticed that Lin You Xi was wearing a face mask today.

Youxi, Youxi!

As soon as Xia Yuan saw Lin Youxi, she hugged her warmly.

Hugging between Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi was a daily occurrence, and Youxi never resisted. But this time, she only briefly hugged Xia Yuan and let go.

Yuan Yuan dont get too close to me.

Lin Youxi coughed a few times, Cough I have a slight cold.

Oh, did you catch a cold last night? Do you want to take a day off today? You dont look too well. Xia Yuan patted Lin Youxis shoulder.

Lin Youxi waved her hand and then took out a notebook from her schoolbag and handed it to Xia Yuan.

This is a summary of the key points and classic problem types for the first four units of mathematics. If you understand all of these, the exam should be easier

Xia Yuan took the notebook from Lin Youxis hand and flipped through the dozens of pages of notes. Suddenly, she couldnt help but choke up.

Youxi Did you stay up very late last night for this, thats why you caught a cold? Xia Yuan asked.

Its all my fault for being so stupid, causing you to worry about me

Xia Yuan grabbed onto Lin Youxi and suddenly burst into tears, sobbing loudly.

I I also took notes for myself. I didnt write them specifically last night. Last night, I just added some content. Ah, you really

Xia Yuan ignored Lin Youxis explanation and continued to cry.

Dont cry like this, Yuan Yuan. I really caught a cold and I might infect you cough, cough.

Lin Youxi couldnt push Xia Yuan away, so she could only gently stroke her head to comfort her.

She was now half a head taller than Xia Yuan, giving her a feeling of taking care of her younger sister.

If you dont understand anything in the notes, come to our classroom after class and ask me, I will explain it to you. Or like Ah Fang, I can study with you at night.

You and Ah Fang are both so good to me, if I still dont do well on the exam, I really cant justify it

Xia Yuan rubbed her red eyes. In the mid-term exam, I will win back all my previous failures! Cough, cough

I told you that you would get infected!

In order to catch up with Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, Xia Yuan had made a strong commitment this time.

She studied hard every day. The other two supported her, answering her questions, and finding better study methods and problem-solving strategies for her.

The time has come for the first and most important mid-term examination in middle school. For the first-year students, the exams covered Chinese, math, English, politics, history, and geography.

Although these humanities subjects would be tested in the first year of middle school, they would not be included in the overall ranking of the mid-term exam. This was relatively disadvantageous for Xia Yuan, who was good at humanities. But in the end, her main subject scores did not disappoint her efforts:

Chinese 114, English 117, and even the most difficult math for Xia Yuan, she scored 109 on this exam. Xia Yuan ranked 7th in Class 8 and 23rd in the grade. It proved that the overall level of Class 8 was exceptionally high.

For comparison, Lin Youxi ranked 1st in the grade, and Mei Fang tied for 4th.

Although there was still some gap between Xia Yuan and her two friends, her current state left Xia Yuan content.

Now, whether she was with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi or in her own class, she wore the sweet smile she used to have on her face.

With this, Yuan Yuans academic pressure crisis was temporarily overcome.

However, its obvious that Yuan Yuan is not good at science-related subjects, and I dont know if she could keep up when she encountered physics and chemistry in the future

Mei Fang was worried about Yuan Yuans future.

In fact, besides studying, the differences in the path of growth are often the reasons why childhood playmates gradually drift apart. This kind of thing is often unavoidable.
