Xia Yuan was popular in her class, and whenever she cried, many girls would come to comfort her after class.

“Mei Fang, can you move over a bit?”

Mei Fang, who was Xia Yuan’s desk mate was forced to give up his seat.

The girls gathered around Xia Yuan, who was burying her head and sobbing softly.

Some patted her shoulder, while others patted her arm, saying words of encouragement. After a while, Xia Yuan finally cheered up, wiped her tears, and told everyone that she was fine and not to worry.

This heartwarming scene was truly beautiful.

Unfortunately, Mei Fang was the culprit and he naturally couldn’t appreciate this scene.

After everyone else left, Mei Fang also sat down to comfort Xia Yuan.

“I told you before, I will try my best to find a way to stay. Right now, my dad has only temporarily decided to move, and it’s not until next year.”

“Why…”

Xia Yuan held a pen and kept drawing circles on a piece of scrap paper, then stared at Mei Fang with a face full of sadness and anger.

“Why… didn’t you tell me right away?” Xia Yuan asked.

“Aren’t we best friends?”

“I…”

Mei Fang scratched his head. “I didn’t want to ruin your mood when I saw how happy you were this morning.”

“Does Youxi know about this?”

Mei Fang nodded. “She had dinner at our house last night, and my dad told her in front of her.”

“Why did you both know and not tell me immediately? Aren’t we best friends?”

She really cared about how much Mei Fang and Lin Youxi valued her.

“It was really late last night, and my mind was also in a mess…”

Mei Fang sighed. “I don’t want to leave Baimei County either. I can’t bear to leave everything here.”

He thought for a moment, then added shamelessly, “Of course, what I can’t bear the most is… you, Yuan Yuan… and Youxi.”

Xia Yuan’s anger, which had been building up, was instantly suppressed by Mei Fang’s words.

She patted Mei Fang’s hand as if comforting him, and then said seriously, “Then… let’s not leave. Let’s find a solution together. At first, I also thought that my dad would never listen to me. But you encouraged me to speak out to my dad about what I really wanted, and in the end, I succeeded and my dad understood me.”

“Besides, Uncle Mei is a reasonable person. As long as we explain it to him with reason and emotion, he will definitely understand.”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, “And if it really doesn’t work out in the end, we can run away from home again. This time, we can go further away and bring Youxi with us. This time, we can go to…”

“You’ve become addicted to running away from home, haven’t you?”

Today is PE class. During free time, Xia Yuan declined the invitation to play jump rope with her friends. Instead, she and Mei Fang worked on a plan in the classroom. Then, they went to Lin Youxi’s class to greet her and signaled for her to come to the computer classroom after school to discuss the plan.

Lin Youxi was also in a bad state today. Her hair was messy, indicating that she hadn’t washed it last night. When she heard Xia Yuan say that they should come up with a way to make Mei Fang stay, Lin Youxi raised her hands in agreement.

Although they were all children, brainstorming together with them was not a bad choice when Mei Fang couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

“Because Uncle Mei has been promoted due to his hard work, he has been transferred to work in Baizhou City… That’s why they’re moving.”

Xia Yuan pondered and said, “Ah Fang, is Uncle Mei sure that he has been promoted? Does he have to go?”

Mei Fang shook his head and said, “Once an organization has made a decision, it usually won’t change.”

“Can’t Uncle Mei apply to work in Baimei County? Why does he have to go to Baizhou City?”

Lin Youxi interjected, “My dad told me that there are as many jobs in the system as there are positions, and there aren’t any extra jobs available. Uncle Mei must have just filled a vacancy in the city.”

“In that case… he has no choice but to go, right?”

Xia Yuan started crying again, “Ah Fang, you can’t live separately from your family, right?”

“It’s not necessarily…”

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, “I can stay even if I live alone. It’s just that my family probably won’t agree.”

Lin Youxi quickly shook her head and vetoed, “Then you’ll be so pitiful! At least I still have my dad by my side. Can you… go live with your grandparents?”

“My grandma is not in good health, I don’t want to trouble her.”

Mei Fang rested his chin on her hand and said, “I actually prefer living alone. It’s just that my parents want to sell this house and buy a bigger one in Baizhou City, so I can only go back to our old house.”

“I, I can think of a solution!”

Xia Yuan immediately raised her hand to speak, “I can try to persuade my parents and see if they can lend money to your family to buy a house. My dad just sold the restaurant business recently, so he should have a lot of money… He mentioned before that there’s still around 500,000 yuan…”

Xia Yuan, oh Xia Yuan, I didn’t expect you to be such a filial daughter!

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan’s head and criticized her, “You don’t even have a clue about the amount of money you’re talking about. With so much money, your family’s financial situation hasn’t been good recently, so your parents won’t lend us money.”

“But… if they could lend a little bit… maybe…”

Xia Yuan was about to cry again in frustration, “I just want to help you. I still have some of my New Year’s money, I can lend it to your dad first, so they won’t have to sell your house.”

6,000 yuan is not a small amount, Little Yuan Yuan!

Lin Youxi also fell into deep thought, “Whether it’s living in an old house or a new house, or having your grandpa and grandma come over to take care of you, the first thing we need to determine is whether Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei are willing to let Ah Fang stay here alone. Otherwise, all this discussion is meaningless…”

“I think it will be difficult, but based on my mom’s personality, she won’t leave me here alone. I can only follow her.”

Mei Fang said as a clear thought emerged, “However, I can also talk to my mom and persuade her to stay in Bai Mei County, let dad temporarily work in Baizhou City for a few years, and discuss it later when things stabilize. Anyway, it’s not far from here, it only takes an hour by car to come back.”

Dad’s job in Baizhou City may not be stable, what if he gets transferred to Jiangcheng in the future, do we have to follow him to buy a house in Jiangcheng?

If they maintain the current situation, and let Mei Fang’s dad go to work first, and wait until middle school or high school, even if the family decides to move to Baizhou, Mei Fang can still stay here to accompany Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

Because by then, he will be able to “take care of himself”, and his mother won’t worry about him like she does now.

“Yeah, Aunt Mei is the one who really has a say in Ah Fang’s family!”

Xia Yuan also nodded and agreed, “Let’s go persuade Aunt Mei not to buy a house in Baizhou City, but to live in Baimei County. My dad used to travel around a lot, and my mom used to complain to me, saying that whether he’s at home or not, as long as he sends money back, it’s fine.”

“But, the whole family should live together…” Lin Youxi hesitated, “family” is a very important word for her.

“So, are you suggesting that we can only let Ah Fang leave us next year?” Faced with Xia Yuan’s question, Lin Youxi quickly shook her head.

She thought for a moment, recalling what Mei Lijun had told her last night, and then coughed lightly a few times before whispering, “Uncle Mei is an adult after all, he should be more mature and stable. Anyway, this is just a temporary arrangement, he can also come back for weekends, there won’t be much difference…”

Wow, she convinced herself just like that…

Mei Fang nodded, “I also think there is no better solution.”

So Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi reached a consensus:

Let Mei Fang’s dad go to work in Baizhou City for a while, temporarily giving up the plan to move. But they need to find a way to persuade Mei Fang’s mom, Xiang Xiaoxia, to firmly decide to stay in Baimei County, so Mei Fang doesn’t have to leave next year.

“Let’s give this operation plan a nice name, shall we? Let’s call it—”

Xia Yuan raised her hand high, “‘The Grand Battle to Save Childhood Friend’, how about that?”

“I have no objections!” Lin Youxi also raised her hand in agreement.

“It’s up to Ah Fang!”

“Me? As for me… the name can be whatever you guys like.”

Mei Fang raised his hand while starting to contemplate the next course of action, “We shouldn’t delay, let’s start thinking about the specific action plan today.”

“Great!”
