Chapter 63: Lets Go Back Together After the Evening Self-Study
Zhang Mings personality is relatively easygoing; he plays any games available to him. In high school, he played Dota 1 with Mei Fang, and he played it for three years. After graduating from high school, he switched to playing League of Legends, and he played it for seven years until he graduated from graduate school and disappeared in Ukraine.
So it seems that his middle school game is Pao Pao Kart Rider.
Mei Fang and Zhang Ming chatted about random things for a while, and Mei Fang also secretly paid attention to Lin Youxi.
This is the first time Lin Youxi and Mei Fang have been in the same class since kindergarten. Although they spent a lot of time playing together on regular days, opportunities to be in class with Lin Youxi were rare. Her deskmate, Yue Xinyi, appeared quiet but was actually quite talkative. She kept asking Lin Youxi about what she did during the summer.
As for Lin Youxi, she just responded with short sentences, her facial expression hardly changing. Only when her gaze met Mei Fangs, she suddenly looked like she had been caught in an embarrassing moment. She glared at Mei Fang in annoyance and then continued her conversation with her deskmate.
On Lin Youxis end, there wasnt much to worry about.
Now the main concern is Yuan Yuan
Mei Fang is very worried about her current mood.
In the first class, everyone got to know their homeroom teacher, Li Shibing. The homeroom teacher gave a speech, introducing the general idea of middle school life, and then started distributing textbooks.
Let me see Student Lin Youxi, are you here?
Lin Youxi obediently raised her hand and said, Im here.
Homeroom teacher Li Shibing adjusted his glasses and looked at Lin Youxi, then nodded and said, Please find a few classmates to go to the academic affairs office to get our textbooks. The academic affairs office is on the first floor of the next building.
Lin Youxi entered the class with the student number 01. Naturally seen as a top student by the teacher. But in fact, Lin Youxi has never held any class positions in elementary school, so being called like this suddenly made her feel flustered. The first thing she did after standing up was to pull Mei Fang up from the front row.
We are really good friends
So Mei Fang took over Lin Youxis task and organized their classmates. He called Zhang Ming and Yue Xinyi, and the four of them went together, which also allowed them to observe the situation in Xia Yuans neighboring class.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi came out of the classroom and passed by Xia Yuans classroom. They started looking inside through the windows.
Ah Fang, over there.
Lin Youxi whispered to Mei Fang. The two looked through the third window and happened to see Xia Yuan chatting enthusiastically with several girls.
It seems that worrying was unnecessary Speaking of which, Yuan Yuan is also good at getting along with people around her.
However, when his gaze coincidentally met Xia Yuans as she looked out the window, he began to doubt his previous thoughts.
Because after Xia Yuan looked over, she almost stood up, but then sat back down and made a maneki-neko[1] scratching hand gesture, which was something unusual.
The smile on her face seemed a bit stiff.
Its almost like shes about to cry
Mei Fang had a similar experience when he was in kindergarten. When he saw some kids who had just entered the kindergarten, they would initially play happily together. However, as soon as their parents or guardians appeared, they would suddenly change their expression and start crying.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had the same thought.
Dont be fooled by Yuan Yuans smile, shes really sad.
I understand, I understand.
Mei Fang nodded. No one understood Xia Yuans every expression better than him and Lin Youxi.
Hurry up, Mei Fang.
Zhang Ming pushed Mei Fangs shoulder from the side. The two quickly became acquainted. If we dawdle any longer, the homeroom teacher will scold us.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fangs close interaction just now aroused Yue Xinyis extreme curiosity. On the way to the academic affairs office, Yue Xinyi quietly asked Lin Youxi.
Lin Youxi, it seems like you and Mei Fang are quite close, right? Because he looks like the boy who often comes to play with you and Xia Yuan.
Lin Youxi was stunned, hesitating about whether to speak or not.
In the end, she couldnt help but look at Mei Fang, who was behind her. Mei Fang also heard some of it.
Whats there to hide? Mei Fang didnt think it was a big deal. Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan, and I have been childhood friends.
Since childhood? How young were you? Yue Xinyi became even more excited. I knew it!
Um We knew each other since kindergarten.
Thats so wonderful!!!
After hearing about Mei Fang and Lin Youxis story, Yue Xinyi instantly turned into a gossip girl. No wonder your relationship looks so good! I didnt talk much with Lin Youxi in elementary school. She always seemed difficult to approach, but when I see her talking to you, shes completely different.
Lin Youxi listened to Yue Xinyis comments and couldnt help but reply, Its not as exaggerated as youre making it sound.
Look! Youve never spoken to me like this before! When I was in elementary school, I was in the same group as you, but I didnt dare to ask you any questions.
I didnt know Lin Youxi thought she had a good relationship with Yue Xinyi.
In fact, Mei Fang had long noticed that when Lin Youxi was with him or Xia Yuan, she would be more relaxed and friendly with other people of the same age. Otherwise, she could come off as somewhat aloof and not very willing to interact with others.
Hey, why are you guys so slow?! What if the homeroom teacher catches us? Seriously, can you hurry up?
Zhang Ming, who was walking ahead, became impatient as he noticed that his companions had been gossiping all along the way.
Were coming, were coming.
Mei Fang quickly caught up, thinking that his best friend from his previous life had loved following rules since he was so young.
Although he is naturally playful, he has a very disciplined personality and will not skip class to play or climb the school walls to play. But during his free time, he could play for a whole day and night.
Living a life that is too rule-abiding may indeed protect you from risks, but it also means living a life of obedience forever.
For example, Lin Guochuan, the father of Lin Youxi.
For example, Zhang Ming from the previous life.
He worked hard at Huawei for two or three years, but he never had the opportunity to be promoted. It was all his colleagues who were good at making PowerPoint presentations. Then he was sent to Ukraine, all under the pretext of inspection and training, but in the end, he was gone.
Although Mei Fang had planned to respect the fate of his best friend, but since he and Zhang Ming had a renewed connection in this life, he must seize the opportunity to help him bravely say no to his boss.
After the book distribution process was over, it quickly came to break time. Most of the new students were getting familiar with their surroundings and discussing topics of interest, forming their own small circles. Some of them went to meet their good friends with whom they had a good relationship in the past.
For example, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.
As soon as the class was over, the two of them went to the next class to find Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan had the same idea as them. The three of them met at the classroom door, and Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi without saying a word, leaving Mei Fang standing aside.
What a pity we almost ended up in the same class.
Although Lin Youxi and Mei Fang guessed that Xia Yuan was feeling sad, she still had a smile on her face and chatted with Lin Youxi about random things.
Even though there was no topic for Mei Fang to join in, he obediently stood aside and chatted together.
Ah Fang, this is the first time youre in the same class as Youxi, you must continue to sit together with her.
No Lin Youxi explained, Ah Fang and I sit in the front and back rows.
Xia Yuan was very surprised to hear this, but she still asked cautiously, Is the person next to Ah Fang a boy or a girl?
A boy.
Well, thats good
Xia Yuan nodded in relief. Realizing that the question she asked was a bit strange, she coughed a few times to change the topic, Even if were not in the same class, we will still be best friends in the future, right?
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi glanced at each other, and then showed a helpless smile to Xia Yuan.
Whats wrong with you two!?
Youxi, dont you think Yuan Yuan can be quite childish sometimes
I agree. Lin Youxi nodded.
You two are so annoying promise me what I said first!
We promise, we promise.
Mei Fang put his hand on Xia Yuans head and patted her. This action attracted the attention of many passersby students, as they considered it a very intimate gesture.
The three of us should go home together after the evening self-study[2] from now on, okay?
