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

"It doesn't matter what you do. Just do what you like."

Hearing Lin Youxi speak so calmly, Yue Xinyi suddenly felt a sense of regret: "If I had known Youxi's attitude, I would have gone and gotten close to her a long time ago."

"So, what kind of boy does Youxi like?"

"Um……"

Lin Youxi was about to speak when Xia Yuan suddenly put her arm around Lin Youxi's shoulders and interrupted, "Is there any need to ask? Youxi must be like me, she likes boys like Afang, haha!"

The transition when she smiled and walked over was very natural, so natural that the other three girls didn't know what to say after hearing it. Even Xia Yuan was a little stunned after she spoke, and her cheeks began to feel slightly hot.

I, I, I, I...why did I suddenly say such a thing!

Who brought up this topic in the first place?

Just when Xia Yuan was blushing and at a loss, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

"Yuanyuan, do me a favor!"

Xia Yuan was startled by Mei Fang's pat on the shoulder. She turned around to look at Mei Fang's expression and it seemed that he didn't hear what she said.

"Do, what?"

"Is such that……"

Mei Fang and Zhang Ming each held a smooth, new physics textbook in their hands, supporting it with only three fingers.

"Zhang Ming and I are going to compete to see who can turn a book the best. Who of you would like to help be the referee?"

"What's the comparison?"

Zhang Ming sneered at Mei Fang, with an arrogant expression that said, "Mei Fang, you really don't know how to live or die." "You may be really good at spinning pens, but I have been the strongest in my class at spinning books since I was a child. No one can beat me!"

"Since you are invincible, why are you afraid of competing with me?"

"It would be meaningless if you ask your people to be the referee." Zhang Ming is not a fool. He can tell at a glance that Xia Yuan is on Mei Fang's side. However, he does not have any love affairs in his mind. He just thinks that Xia Yuan will favor Mei Fang.

Of course, it is possible to deliberately judge Mei's side as the loser, but this would lose the meaning of fair competition.

Boring! I want a real showdown!

Mei Fang thought for a moment, then pointed at Yue Xinyi and said, "If you think she's not suitable, why don't you let the Chinese class representative be the judge?"

"No, no..." Yue Xinyi waved her hand gently, her expression of disgust clearly visible on the paper.

"I heard stupidity is contagious, and I don't want to become stupid with you guys."

"Then how about I do it!" Peng Xue raised her hand happily, "I will be the referee for the transfer between the two of you, and I will absolutely guarantee fairness and justice!"

Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi swapped seats and came behind Mei Fang and Zhang Ming, acting as referees for the two and preparing to start timing.

"Let me think... the ratings are based on duration, aesthetics, and technical difficulty, right?"

The book in Zhang Ming's hand was spinning at high speed like a handkerchief in Dong Bai Er Ren Zhuan, and he nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you are really professional in book spinning."

"Mei Fang and Zhang Ming, can you boys please stop playing such childish things? It's really boring. Peng Xue, why are you also meddling in this..."

"Hahaha, just play around, it's fun, what's the big deal?"

While everyone was having fun, Xia Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the topic was brought up...

Her eyes turned to Lin Youxi who was standing beside her, and she had a dazed expression.

Perhaps because he noticed that Xia Yuan was looking at him, Lin Youxi turned his head to look at Xia Yuan. When their eyes met, they laughed in unison.

Youxi... didn't refute me just now?

Xia Yuan muttered to himself.

Chapter 104 Bicycle

Now Mei Fang and her friends don't go home until 8:30 in the evening. If they walk back together, it will be after 9 o'clock when they get home.

Xia Yuan's father Xia Xun felt that even though Mei Fang was there, it was not safe for a girl to walk on the road at night. Plus, his job was easy now, so he proposed to Xia Yuan the idea of ​​driving the three little ones to and from school every day.

However, this suggestion was of course rejected by Xia Yuan on the spot.

She wished she could stay with Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and the other two for even one more minute. Who wanted her father to be there? Then there would be many topics that could not be discussed.

Although he knows that his lovely little child has entered puberty and is experiencing the coexistence of growth and rebelliousness, and that the little angel who once held his hand for a hug has become a distant past, Xia Xun still has to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

"If you insist on not letting me pick you up, then I'll take the bus or ride a bike at night. Anyway, I have to see you home before nine o'clock!"

"Okay, okay! I get it! Dad, you're so annoying."

Faced with his daughter's rebuke, the old father Xia Xun suddenly felt so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

My daughter has grown up, and I can’t keep her anymore…

"So... this is what happened."

Xia Yuan told Mei Fang and Lin Youxi what his father had said to him, and wanted to discuss with them the arrangements for returning home in the evening.

"It's not easy to get on the bus at that time at night. It's crowded and there's no room. If it's delayed, it will be even worse."

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "I think it's more reliable to ride a bicycle home, but do you know how to ride a bicycle?"

The small county town is close to everything. Mei Fang and his classmates have always walked during their student days. If they want to go a little further, they have to drive. It seems that none of the three have any experience in riding bicycles.

"You can learn if you don't know how to ride, but from the tone of your voice, do you think you can ride? I've never seen you ride before."

"I sometimes ride a bike when I go out to buy groceries for my mother, but you haven't seen it."

"Then I have to look forward to it..." Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Then let's go buy bicycles together this weekend?"

"I already have a bicycle at home, so I won't buy one."

Lin Youxi shook her head and said, "I can still ride Aunt Liang's bike."

"I remember Aunt Liang's bicycle is very old, wouldn't it be better to buy a new one?"

"Well... no need." Lin Youxi shook her head, "I don't want to waste money."

After Lin Youxi saved money to buy her father an electric car, she stopped taking on substitute training and spent more time on the operation and maintenance of Station C. Therefore, her pocket money was not as much as it was in the first year of junior high school. However, she was indeed quite frugal. Mei Fang knew what she was thinking and said,

"Then I'll ride my mom's too. She now rides an electric bike and doesn't need the bicycle anymore."

"Why don't you buy a new car? But I don't have a bicycle to ride at home."

Xia Yuan seemed a little discouraged. She scratched her head and said, "Then I'll go ask my mother if I can ask my colleague's uncle or aunt to lend me a bicycle."

"If you want to buy a new car, just buy it, Yuanyuan. What's the big deal?"

"But then I wouldn't fit in."

"What's so unsociable about this..."

Mei Fang shook his head. "If our old bikes are too hard to ride, we might buy new ones. Then we'll need you to recommend us a new one."

"Well, I'll ask my dad to take me to buy a bicycle on Saturday, and we can practice together on Sunday afternoon!"

"We have to go to Li Shibing's house for extra lessons on Sunday, so we can only learn to drive after 5 o'clock."

"Oh, I forgot. We are almost there too." Xia Yuan said with a grin. "Anyway, after class, let's go to the park in our neighborhood to practice driving!"

On weekend afternoons, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi rushed home after their tutoring classes - because Mei Fang knew how to ride a bicycle in his previous life, he rode a bicycle directly to attend the tutoring classes today.

"You really can ride a bicycle." Mei Fang pushed the bicycle and Lin Youxi followed beside him. "I really don't know when you learned it."

“I didn’t learn it specially, it’s just a talent.”

If it was the younger Lin Youxi, she might have kicked Mei Fang in anger and said that she was bragging, but now she has restrained herself a lot, "Afang is really talented in sports, and she was the same in roller skating before..."

"Ahaha." Mei Fang scratched his head embarrassedly, "This is just an ordinary talent. It can't be compared with your talent for learning code or cooking."

"I don't think so. They are both equally amazing."

Lin Youxi looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. "Fang, why don't you go back first? Yuanyuan might be waiting for you."

"Let's go back together. How can I leave you here?"

Mei Fang became interested when he saw Lin Youxi looking at the back seat of his car from time to time.

"How about I take you back on my bike? I'm not bragging, I'm a pretty good rider!"

Lin Youxi looked up at Mei Fang, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

"I want to sit."

So Mei Fang got on the bicycle and waited for Lin Youxi to sit on the back seat. This time she seemed quite familiar with the ride and she put her arms around Mei Fang's lower abdomen and laid her head on Mei Fang's back, which made Mei Fang feel a little embarrassed.

"Although, this car of mine is old, so you better sit tight."

"know."

Then Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang tighter.

Mei Fang rode his bike leisurely. The setting sun elongated their figures infinitely. The unique slow-paced style of the small county town was presented one by one in the streets and markets.

There were small vendors pushing carts and aunties walking leisurely home from buying vegetables. The asphalt road they were riding on was bumpy and uneven. Mei Fang moved flexibly to avoid the various small potholes. Lin Youxi only encountered a short bump, and it was very smooth otherwise.

Two or three children fighting with bamboo sticks on the street attracted Lin Youxi's attention. She couldn't help but gently call Mei Fang's name.

"Afang."

"what happened?"

Mei Fang looked back at Lin Youxi and saw that she was looking at the scenery on the street. "Did you see anything?"

"No."

Lin Youxi stood up from Mei Fang's back. "I remembered what happened when we were kids playing outside. I used a stick to cut a big hole in your pants. I was so afraid that you would go back and tell Aunt Mei about it. Then Aunt Mei would dislike me and never let me play at your house again. I was so scared that I cried as I walked away."

"Oh... Are you talking about the first grade incident?" Mei Fang thought for a moment, "How was it handled in the end?"

"Finally, I said I would go back with you to apologize, but you went back and told your aunt that you tore your pants yourself, which caused you to be spanked by Aunt Mei."

"Why are you like Yuanyuan, always remembering my embarrassing moments so clearly..."

"I don't think it's embarrassing." Lin Youxi's voice was very gentle, "I just felt that you were very nice to me at that time."

"So, does that mean I'm not nice to you now?"

"Um……"
