After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

After the bus arrived at the station, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan went to the police station together. Mei Fang explained to Uncle JC the reason why Xia Yuan and herself came. She said that Xia Yuan's parents had a quarrel, and Xia Yuan wanted to find her grandmother to discuss what to do, so she took a bus to Jiangcheng by herself.

Mei Fang, as a good classmate, was worried about Xia Yuan's safety, so she came along.

In addition, they explained the situation regarding the strange uncle they met at the KFC restaurant.

While the uncles gently criticized and educated Xia Yuan and Mei Fang, they also contacted Xia Yuan's mother.

After explaining the situation to the anxious mother on the other end of the phone, the policeman handed the phone over.

It should have been Xia Yuan's turn to answer the phone, but she kept shaking Mei Fang's arm.

no way……

Mei Fang cleared his throat slightly and took the call.

"Hello... is this Mr. Yu? I'm Mei Fang."

"Well, Xia Yuan is with me."

"She said she was coming to see grandma. I'm worried about her..."

The voice on the other end of the phone became unusually loud, and Mei Fang closed his eyes as if he had been severely scolded.

"Why, why didn't I contact you? At that time, the situation was very urgent. Xia Yuan was about to get in the car, and I couldn't stop her, so I..."

"I'm sorry... Teacher Yu... I'm really sorry."

Mei Fang seemed to be scolded to tears by his homeroom teacher, Mr. Yu, who had never scolded him before, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

However, he had built up his emotions quite well, and perhaps because he sounded a bit tearful, Mr. Yu's voice on the other end of the phone also became a little softer.

"Let Xia Yuan answer the phone?"

Mei Fang glanced at Xia Yuan, who looked humble and helpless.

"Excuse me, is Uncle Xia with you now?"

"You're still out there looking for us. Haven't had time to contact us yet?"

"Teacher Yu, although we made a mistake, there are some things Xia Yuan might still want to tell you in person."

Mei Fang paused and explained in a calm tone, "She can't talk to Teacher Yu directly yet. We plan to contact Grandma Xia Yuan first and wait for you and Uncle Xia to come over at her house."

So Mei Fang handed the phone to JC again, and after confirming some information again, JC also hung up the phone.

"You kid... are you really an elementary school student? You are young but you speak so arrogantly, like a little adult."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Mei Fang sighed, "I have been silently bearing the pressure of life that is not in line with my age."

“Children nowadays are really not simple.”

"Xia Yuan, where is your grandma's house? We will drive you there right now."

"Then I'll trouble Uncle JC!"

Riding on the J train for the first time should have been a wonderful experience, but Xia Yuan was not in a happy mood. She kept holding Mei Fang's arm and talking in a low voice on the train.

"I... meet my parents, what should I say?"

"...Want to ask me?"

Mei Fang shook his head. "When you said you agreed to this plan, shouldn't it be because you have something to say?"

"But everything I want to say is written in the letter..."

Xia Yuan said, "I hope Dad can spend more time with me. I don't want Mom and Dad to get divorced... I even told Mom in a letter that if I was gone, Mom and Dad might get along better... That way, if they quarrel, they will think of me and won't quarrel anymore."

"Have you ever said such a thing before?"

"Um……"

Xia Yuan stared at Mei Fang angrily, "I know it's funny."

"Girl, this is not funny."

Uncle JC said, "No matter how difficult the situation is, don't take life lightly. This will only make people around you feel sad."

"I, I get it...Uncle JC! I won't do this again!"

Xia Yuan was so scared that he quickly apologized to Uncle JC.

"By the way...Uncle...I want to ask you a question."

"Just ask!"

“We did this kind of thing…”

Xia Yuan lowered his head and hesitated, then mustered up the courage to raise his head and ask, "Do we have to sit in prison for a few more days? Or go to a correctional facility or something..."

"Um……"

Seeing that Uncle JC remained silent, Xia Yuan thought that there was really an impact, so he tried hard to help Mei Fang distance himself from the matter.

"This was all my idea. It has nothing to do with Mei Fang! He just... well, he just wanted to stop me! If you want to arrest someone, just arrest me!"

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan's head gently to force her to calm down, "Don't worry, Uncle JC won't arrest you."

"That's good……"

The police car was now waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. Xia Yuan looked out the window boredly, and a figure appeared on the street outside the window, which made Xia Yuan grab Mei Fang's arm tightly.

"What's wrong with you..."

Looking in the direction Xia Yuan pointed, Mei Fang saw the figure reading the newspaper, with that conspicuous iconic Mediterranean face. Who else could it be but the strange uncle who had followed him today?

Mei Fang just noticed that they passed by a bus station. It seemed that this strange uncle specifically targeted children walking alone near the station. He was already a repeat offender.

He stopped the car, and Xia Yuan immediately called out to the uncles:

"Uncle JC! That's the guy! He's the one who's been following us!"

Upon hearing this, the two JCs immediately pulled over. When the strange uncle saw the two JCs approaching, he immediately turned around as if he was guilty.

So Xia Yuan and Mei Fang sat in the car, watching through the window as the police officers caught the strange uncle on the street. Only then did Xia Yuan feel relieved.

Chapter 032 The changed world line

After subduing the man with glasses, the police uncles dispatched another car to escort the man with glasses back to the police station for further investigation. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan did not have the opportunity to get deeper into the case and were safely escorted to Xia Yuan's grandmother's house.

After nearly an hour's drive, the two finally left the city and arrived at their destination.

This is the suburb of Jiangcheng. Except that the buildings are taller, it is no different from other rural areas. There is a wide cement path, lush green countryside on the left, and residential buildings with neat courtyards on the right.

Because she learned the news early, Grandma Xia Yuan was already at the gate of her home to welcome her granddaughter.

Grandma Xia Yuan had a head full of white hair and looked to be in her sixties or seventies, but she looked very healthy and opened her arms to Xia Yuan as soon as they met.

"Grandma..."

Xia Yuan has been closest to her grandma since she was a child and would spend every summer vacation here. She had a lot of things in her mind, but as soon as she saw her grandma, she began to twitch her mouth involuntarily, acting aggrieved and coquettish, and took the initiative to throw herself into her grandma's arms.

"Oh... Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, dear. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay... You made me so worried."

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make grandma worry..."

"Grandma knows everything that happened. It's not your fault... Wait until your father comes and see how I deal with him."

After comforting Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan's grandmother stood up to thank JC, and even enthusiastically suggested staying for dinner. Of course, the other party had no intention of staying, and left after giving a few instructions.

Only at this time did Grandma Xia Yuan have time to focus her attention on Mei Fang.

"You are Mei Fang, right?"

"Hello, grandma."

Mei Fang nodded, because his grandmother kept pacing with her hands behind her back and looking him up and down, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He was just about to say something in greeting when Grandma Xia Yuan turned behind Mei Fang and patted him on the shoulder unexpectedly.

"Hahahaha! You are such an amazing guy!"

"Thank you for protecting our Yuanyuan and bringing her here!"

Mei Fang endured the severe pain in his shoulder, put his hands behind his back and smiled politely.

"Xia Yuan and I are good friends, it's only natural."

"Good friends? Just good friends?"

Grandma Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang's shoulder again, frowning as if in deep thought. "I remember that Yuan Yuan in our family always said that she wanted to give birth to a boy named Mei Fang. That's you, right?"

Xia Yuan was so embarrassed that she jumped up and down.

"Grandma! Why do you keep bringing up those childhood memories?"

"Hahaha! Our Yuanyuan is just like that! Just get used to it!"

Grandma Xia Yuan was still beating Mei Fang.

Okay, it would be rude to continue fighting...

Mei Fang felt that his tender shoulders were about to be broken by the old man.

The two of them had some snacks at their grandmother's house to fill their stomachs. Xia Yuan told her grandmother about her experience of running away from home. Not only did her grandmother not blame Xia Yuan for running away without permission, she also recognized her courage.

In addition, what grandma did was to slap Mei Fang constantly.

The reason was that Mei Fang's clever performance along the way made grandma quite satisfied and praised her highly.

When it was dusk and evening, Xia Yuan's parents finally drove to her grandmother's house.

Xia Yuan took her grandmother's hand and went out to meet her parents.

Although with the help of Mei Fang, Xia Yuan prepared a lot of words.

But after seeing her parents, she suddenly became speechless again.

She had never seen her parents in such a miserable state.

Mom was unkempt and Dad was covered in dust.

Xia Yuan's father walked up to him aggressively, looking very angry.

Xia Yuan closed his eyes tightly and waited quietly for his father's scolding.

Snapped!
