"Yes, yes, this brother and I were students at Experimental Primary School. By the way, your brother is amazing. His test scores are often among the top three in the grade!"

"Wow, that brother is really amazing, no wonder he can afford such a nice car..."

The boy said with some determination, "I will study hard and become as good as my brother in the future. Then I will work with my sister to earn money to support our family and help my mother with her medical treatment."

Seeing this, Xia Yuan also smiled and encouraged him, "Come on, come on, you have been so responsible since you were young, you will definitely be able to do it when you grow up!"

Seeing that he was covering his palms with an expression of endurance, Mei Fang reminded Xia Yuan not to ask too many questions and rushed him to the hospital.

Xia Yuan sent the boy to a nearby clinic. After the doctor examined the wound, he said that it was quite serious and he needed a tetanus injection and an IV drip. The boy panicked and asked quickly, "Tetanus...how much does it cost?"

"It doesn't cost much, 100 per shot. I also need to get an IV drip to reduce inflammation and observe to avoid secondary infection."

"Is it not possible to not fight?"

"What are you talking about! Of course not. Your wound is obviously scratched by a piece of metal. This is very dangerous."

Seeing the young man's embarrassed expression, Mei Fang quickly said, "It's okay, I'll pay for you."

"Then, brother, can you lend me your phone?"

The boy was silent for a while, then said, "I need to call my mom."

"Okay, here you go."

Mei Fangxiayuan accompanied the boy to the clinic for infusion. Not long after, the boy's mother hurried to the door of the clinic.

The mother was wearing a white knitted hat and a thick scarf. She looked pale and thin, and her sunken eye sockets showed that she was in poor health. When she saw the boy, she hurried over.

The first thing he did was to apologize to Mei Fangxia Yuan repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, young man. Our child was naughty and damaged your car, so we need your help to send it here."

"It's okay, it's okay... Auntie, it's not my brother's fault. It's normal for the roads to be slippery in winter. The car is fine. I just saw that he was injured, so I sent him here to treat it."

"Then...how much did the medical expenses cost just now...I——"

The boy's mother said this as she pulled out a small bag from her pocket and took out a few crumpled bills from the bag and prepared to hand it over.

Xia Yuanmei Fang kept saying it was not necessary. At this time, the little boy sitting next to her with an IV drip accurately told the amount of the medical expenses. After several rounds, the money was finally stuffed into Mei Fang's hands. After that, the aunt kept apologizing to Mei Fang and left her contact information to Mei Fang before leaving.

"If there is any problem with the car and it costs money, you can call me at this number. No matter how much it costs, we will definitely compensate you..."

The boy's mother blushed, and her anxious eyes were filled with sincere apology. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan nodded in confirmation for a while before saying goodbye to the boy and his mother.

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang had just walked out of the clinic when they suddenly grabbed Mei Fang at the door.

"Ah Fang, what kind of disease do you think the child's mother has..."

"She has no hair under her hat, which is probably due to the chemotherapy."

Mei Fang said softly, "It should be cancer."

Xia Yuan nodded frantically upon hearing this: "Yeah! I think so too!"

"So, is it not good to just leave like this?"

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang and said in a somewhat tangled tone, "Their lives must be very difficult... Do you think we should transfer some money to her?"

"You've seen the character of this family. They didn't even let us pay for the medical expenses. If we gave them money directly, they would definitely not be willing to accept it."

"But... I feel... my nose is sore."

Xia Yuan rubbed his nose and said, "I feel like they are having a hard time, and I can't help but want to help them..."

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan's head gently, "You... you really haven't changed at all."

"However, everyone has their own way of life, they have their own dignity and pride, and it is good to have compassion, but we cannot just deny that."

"That's true... But, that's -"

"Well... I'll send a message to my aunt later, telling her that she can contact me anytime if she has any difficulties. I'll leave them a channel for help. What do you think?"

"Yeah! Our Ah Fang is the best! I'm going to give you a little reward!"

……

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang tenderly in the car for a long time. After a while, Xia Yuan's cell phone rang. It was a message from Lin Youxi.

"Have you finished meeting Xiaoxue?"

"Well... we've seen each other, what's wrong?"

"Since you have time, would you like to come and see the house?"

Lin Youxi said on the phone, "Please send me and my parents home."

"Okay, I'll talk to Al Fang."

Xia Yuan hung up the phone and looked up at Mei Fang who was holding her in his arms affectionately. "Did you hear what Youxi said just now?"

"OK."

Mei Fang helped Xia Yuan brush her hair with a reluctant look, "That's all the reward is, I guess you haven't finished giving me the reward yet."

"Oh... you're so annoying..."

Mei Fang and Xia Yuan drove to the Zijun Garden property to find Lin Youxi. Lin Youxi had already taken a fancy to a large two-story commercial house. As they discussed the advantages of this large apartment, Mei Fang went to the bathroom and was stopped by Lin Guochuan when she came out.

"Uncle Lin, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just what I told you yesterday—"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!"

Mei Fang nodded and said, "I'll find a chance to talk to Youxi in the next two days."

"Um, I wanted to tell you... Youxi already knows about this."

"Huh? So fast!"

Mei Fang was surprised and asked, "Uncle Lin, you looked like you had a lot on your mind, but it was exposed all of a sudden?"

"This is not..."

Lin Guochuan explained, "Youxi herself brought this up. She asked me if my uncle had been released at the beginning of the year and how he was doing now."

"Then Uncle Lin, did you just say it directly?"

"I just told him about his situation and didn't mention visiting him. Youxi didn't ask any more questions, but just said she knew, and that was it."

"so……"

"Ah Fang, help your uncle analyze this. You said Youxi took the initiative to bring this up. Does that mean you also want to meet her?"

"Well...it's hard to say. From what I know about Youxi, she might just be confirming the facts—"

Before Mei Fang finished speaking, Lin Youxi's voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Afang, what are you and my dad talking about?"

This frightened Mei Fang and Lin Guochuan. Lin Guochuan coughed and looked away, not intending to answer. Mei Fang paused for a moment and then quickly explained, "I, I was talking to Uncle Lin about the qualification of the Chinese national football team for the Asian Cup this year. How do you think the house is?"

"Except for the duplex, the others are just average. We should just buy one for ourselves first. Fang, we may need to take a look at the house where you and your family will live together... Is that okay?"

"It's okay, of course it's okay, I just had this idea on impulse anyway, my parents may not want to come here!"

"The duplex I'm planning to buy is about the same size as Yuanyuan's house in the new community. If there's no better house to buy, you can stay in our new home when you return to Baimei County."

Xia Yuan also followed Lin Youxi over at this time. After hearing what Lin Youxi said, she felt a little jealous, "Well... since they are about the same age, isn't it the same if you live in my house?"

"Yuanyuan's family has a lot of guests to entertain during the New Year, right? Our family doesn't have that many guests, because when we were young, our family was poor and we didn't have many relatives to visit. We can't compare to your family, which is so prosperous and lively..."

"Youxi, don't, don't say such things in front of Yuanyuan..."

Lin Guochuan felt embarrassed when he heard this. "It's not that I didn't have any relatives to visit before, it's just that they were all busy."

"Dad, when will you stop deceiving yourself?"

Lin Youxi suddenly became very angry, "My grandparents died early, my eldest uncle married into the family but was afraid of his wife, and my second uncle's family looked down on us since we were young because they were rich and poor. How many relatives do we have to interact with? Do you have to talk about those distant relatives who came to curry favor with me after they knew I became famous?"

Mei Fang immediately became serious, "Youxi, this is what you did wrong. I want to tell you, don't talk to your father like that, it's a bit rude."

"The situation at home is different. You haven't experienced this, so it's normal that you can't understand it."

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang rarely had disagreements in public as adults, and a tense atmosphere suddenly spread.

At this time, Lin Guochuan on the side said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay... Youxi is right... Sometimes I am a little self-deceiving——"

"Just a little bit? You still want me to meet You Xiaobing! I really don't understand. You have been tortured by him for so many years, why are you still stubborn? Is it necessary to reconcile with that kind of scum? Do you think he doesn't suck enough blood for you?"

When the topic of his uncle You Xiaobing was mentioned, Lin Youxi's emotions suddenly became very excited, and it was almost as if his irreconcilable relationship was written all over his face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Yuan wanted to go up and pull Lin Youxi, "Youxi...you can't say that. Your father definitely doesn't mean that. He also doesn't want you to be too embarrassed--"

"Yuanyuan, you have nothing to do with this. It is absolutely impossible for you to understand me given your situation."

Lin Youxi said this while forcibly pushing away Xia Yuan's tightly clenched hands, with an attitude that said "no strangers allowed". It had been a long time since Xia Yuan had seen such a strange Youxi.

After Lin Youxi lost her temper and did not explain her inappropriate behavior caused by the topic of You Xiaobing, she just walked out the door. Liang Meijuan, who was standing next to her, did not dare to touch Lin Youxi and wanted to hold Lin Youxi's hand but pulled it back.

"Youxi, wait for me!"

Mei Fang told everyone that she would go and accompany Youxi first. Xia Yuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mei Fang.

"I'll talk to her alone. Yuanyuan, how about you bring Uncle Lin and Aunt Liang to your house for lunch? It's closer to your home."

"okay."

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's arm, his expression serious and earnest, "Talk to Youxi properly...including my share."

"I know my limits, don't worry."

"Well, I believe you." Xia Yuan nodded, and then watched Mei Fang go to chase Lin Youxi.

The impression that Lin Youxi has left in most people's minds has always been that of a mature, steady and aloof goddess, a super academic master on campus, and an omnipotent technical geek lady at Station C.

But she also has a rebellious side, that of a wild child.

This is a side that only the closest people, including Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, know.

This is especially true for Mei Fang, who has experienced many heartbreaking moments with Lin Youxi.

Although Lin Youxi's life is now filled with happiness, it is still difficult to cover up the scars that have accompanied her throughout her life.

As a father, Lin Guochuan does bear a great responsibility for the unfortunate childhood of Lin Youxi.

But his apology was very pale and powerless to Lin Youxi.
