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

“Youxi, so you’re a class monitor now, congratulations!!”

On the way home from school, Xia Yuan tightly held Lin Youxi’s hand and stuck close to her after learning that she had become the class monitor.

“I didn’t dare to do it alone,” Lin Youxi smiled shyly. “Ah Fang and I decided to run together, and he became the group leader too.”

“Oh… is that so?”

Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang curiously. “I didn’t expect you to do something like this. When we were in elementary school together, you always found it troublesome and didn’t want to be part of the class committee. How come you changed when you entered middle school with Youxi, huh?”

“Well… the situation this time is special.”

“How is it special?”

“Just like…”

Mei Fang knew that Xia Yuan disliked keeping secrets between good friends, so he didn’t hide anything and told her everything.

Xia Yuan muttered, “Since you’re in the same group, why not sit together? It’s a great opportunity.”

“It’s not good either. If I sit with Ah Fang, I can’t help but want to talk to him during class.”

“Hahaha, that’s true!”

Xia Yuan strongly agreed, “Back then, when I sat with Ah Fang…”

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, who had a forced smile on her face, as she recounted memories from the past. Her voice sounded a bit weary.

He knew that there were some hidden emotions at play in her, so he tried to change the topic to find out.

“I heard there was a lot of commotion in your class tonight. Did you change seats and elect the new class committee too? You are still the class representative for the Chinese class, right?”

Unexpectedly, Mei Fang’s words hit the nail on the head. Xia Yuan lowered her head with a look of grievance. “I’m only a transfer student to Class A, so I don’t have the qualifications to be a class representative…”

This girl…

It seems like she hasn’t completely moved on from relying on her parent’s connections.

“Why do you keep thinking about that?”

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan’s head. “You’re always unhappy like this, it’s not good.”

“Um…”

“You are the best in our hearts, Yuan Yuan… Don’t let past events bother you all the time.”

Lin Youxi cheered Xia Yuan on from the side. “As long as you study hard and achieve good grades, no one will gossip about you. I think the people in your class probably don’t know that you… came in through some special means.”

“I have the last student’s number, how could they not know…”

Xia Yuan muttered a few words with her head down and then started looking for another topic. “By the way, the last math test was so difficult. It was out of 120 points and I didn’t even get 100 points. There were so many people in our class who scored over 100, how did you two do?”

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang suddenly couldn’t continue the conversation. Mei Fang then suggested, “Since school is over, let’s not talk about studying for now.”

“Don’t be shy to say it, honestly, I’m not afraid of being hurt!”

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang glanced at each other, and Mei Fang finally reported the scores to Xia Yuan.

After hearing the scores, Xia Yuan paused for a moment and then smiled hard.

“Wow, you guys are really amazing, worthy of being my childhood friends! I’m really happy for you, sincerely.”

She held the hands of Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, one on each side, swaying and gently shaking their hands.

But Mei Fang and Lin Youxi both felt a lot of pressure.

Xia Yuan’s future did not exist in the original world, and her image in elementary school was always perfect.

But as time went on, her academic performance began to slowly fall behind Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, and there was even a noticeable trend of her lagging significantly.

Despite studying so hard…

Is it because she can’t find the right direction for her studies, or is there another reason?

Mei Fang now knew that Xia Yuan was feeling very sad, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. He just stayed by her side.

When they were doing their homework together at night, Xia Yuan seemed normal. She would still actively ask Mei Fang for help when she had any questions.

Mei Fang patiently and meticulously explained step by step, afraid that she would have even the slightest confusion about the solution to the problem.

The two of them studied together until well past 10 at night, when Xia Yuan’s father, Xia Xun, knocked on the door to remind them.

“Mei Fang, your mom just called and asked you to go home. It’s already late, maybe you two should stop studying for now.”

“Uncle Xia, wait a moment. Let me finish explaining this problem to Yuan Yuan, and then I’ll go back.”

But Xia Yuan stopped him.

“It’s okay, it’s already so late. Ah Fang, you should go back… I’ll think about it myself.”

Xia Yuan sniffled and quietly stared at her homework, “I still don’t understand this problem, even though you explained it so many times. It’s because I’m stupid, it’s not your fault.”

Her voice became fragmented towards the end, and Mei Fang thought that if he left now, Xia Yuan would definitely be miserable all night. So he looked up at Xia Xun and said, “Uncle Xia, I’ll stay a bit longer. When my mom calls again, please tell her they can sleep first.”

“Well… thank you.”

Xia Xun had been watching his daughter study so hard but never getting any results, and his heart ached.

Actually, he had already talked to his daughter before, saying that it didn’t matter if her grades were a little lower. As long as she was true to herself, it was fine.

Besides, their family had money, so it didn’t matter if she couldn’t get into a good university. They could send her abroad to study, and coming back with a foreign degree was much better than struggling locally, right?

But Yuan Yuan expressed to him that she didn’t want to distance herself from her best friends, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang.

Xia Xun couldn’t bear to destroy the cherished friendship of his daughter, so naturally, he didn’t insist and continued to go along with his daughter’s wishes.

“Well, you two continue studying, I won’t disturb you…”

Xia Xun gently closed the door, allowing Xia Yuan and Mei Fang to continue studying.

This time, they only took ten minutes to understand the questions, and Xia Yuan’s brows finally relaxed a bit.

“It turns out that merging similar terms is such a simple thing, my brain is really slow! Hahaha.”

In Mei Fang’s eyes, the math questions in the first year of middle school did not have a huge difference in difficulty compared to elementary school, but the knowledge became broader. Unlike in the past, simply memorizing and practicing problems wouldn’t be enough anymore.

“Now the main subjects in middle school are Chinese, math, and foreign language. Your problem is just that your math is slightly worse, but your Chinese and English are not bad! Especially English, I saw that you got over 110 points on the last exam. You have been learning English since you were young, which many people have no foundation at all. By the next final exam, your ranking won’t be bad, trust me.”

“It’s not just my math that is slightly worse, in eighth grade, we’ll have to study physics… I can’t understand any of these science-related subjects, and I’ll definitely fall further behind you two…”

“Don’t put so much pressure on yourself, do you hear me?”

Mei Fang gently pinched Xia Yuan’s cheeks, “Seeing you like this, both Youxi and I really feel sorry for you. Where did our cheerful Yuan Yuan, who always loves to laugh, go?”

“Um…”

Xia Yuan wrinkled her nose, puffed up her face, and stared at Mei Fang for a while before letting out a sigh, “Since you said that, I’ll give it a try and absorb some of Ah Fang’s energy.”

“Okay… come on.”

Mei Fang smiled, “But you have to be quick, it won’t be good if your father sees it.”

“I know.”

Since the incident of running away from home, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang had developed their own way of comforting each other, using physical contact to soothe their sadness and sorrow. Xia Yuan would place her hands on Mei Fang’s shoulders and press her forehead against Mei Fang’s chest.

Generally, this kind of physical contact was very effective and would quickly calm Xia Yuan’s emotions.

But today seemed to be an exception.

Xia Yuan leaned against Mei Fang’s chest and suddenly started sobbing silently.

Mei Fang quickly helped Xia Yuan up, she rubbed her eyes and her voice was full of grievances, “I feel… today I need a stronger dose of Ah Fang’s energy to feel better.”

“Stronger?”

Xia Yuan looked at confused Mei Fang with her teary eyes.

“Can… I have a hug?”

“I want to hug you.”

Xia Yuan suddenly shook her head and continued talking.

“No, um…”

“It should be said it like this…”

“I want… to let you hug me, is that okay?”
