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

Chapter 93: Fortunately, It Wasnt the Right Time Yet

Chapter 93: Fortunately, It Wasnt the Right Time Yet

The wonderful first summer vacation passed in the blink of an eye. In the last few days, everyone busied themselves together, working on summer break homework.

The summer break homework in middle school was vastly different from that in elementary school. Even Xia Yuan, who used to stick to the right path and diligently complete all her homework, found it difficult to face the overwhelming pile of summer assignments.

Under Mei Fangs persuasion, she finally decided to compromise and invited Mei Fang and Lin Youxi to her house to work on their homework together.

Ill do Chinese, Ah Fang will do English, and Youxi will do math.

Lin Youxi, just like in elementary school, had already finished most of her homework early. When she brought her homework, she only had two essays and two math problems left. She didnt mind lending her homework to Mei Fang and Xia Yuan for reference, and the quality of her work was quite high.

Mei Fang immediately copied Lin Youxis homework without hesitation. As a reborn person, he was tired of these time-wasting repetitive tasks.

As for Xia Yuan, because she was in a different class from Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, the amount of homework assigned by their respective teachers was different. When the two saw Xia Yuans list of assignments, they were stunned.

Besides the summer workbook, there are two sets of math papers, plus another exercise book? Your math teacher is really harsh.

Its not just math There are also 8 weekly journals and 8 assigned essays for Chinese, and we have to write reflections on 4 movies and 4 books. Only English has few requirements.

Mei Fang was very surprised by this. Can the students in your class handle so much homework?

Xia Yuan shook her head. The students with good grades, especially the boys, the competition is intense. Some even say the assignments given by the teacher are too few. I really dont know what theyre thinking. As for those who dont study seriously, our homeroom teacher, Teacher Huang, doesnt bother about their homework, as long as it doesnt disrupt class discipline, he doesnt say anything

Do teachers really take the time to carefully grade so many essays?

Lin Youxi shook her head after hearing this. Maybe she just doesnt want you guys to have a comfortable summer vacation.

I also think so Xiaoxue said she doesnt plan to do her summer break homework at all.

In fact, Xia Yuans homeroom teacher, Huang Lian, was Mei Fangs homeroom teacher in his previous life. She was a female teacher in her forties, and due to the homophony of her name and her strict teaching style, she was given the nickname Huang Lian Po^[1] by the students.

Of course, she was also the one who had a final big altercation with Peng Xue at school due to various conflicts. When Xia Yuan mentioned Peng Xues actions, Mei Fang was a little worried that history might repeat itself, so he reminded Xia Yuan:

Its better for Peng Xue not to do that. You should advise her too. Your class teacher is strict and holds grudges. She might catch Peng Xue and scold her continuously.

In fact, she never liked Xiaoxue. She always criticizes her for dressing up, even though she doesnt care about students who dont study. But Xiaoxue actually has good grades, yet shes always finding faults with her for no reason.

Mei Fang pondered for a moment. Will you be implicated since youre close to her?

I guess she probably doesnt like me much either, after all, I joined the class later, but she hasnt targeted me specifically.

Although Xia Yuan also liked to dress up, she didnt dress as maturely as Peng Xue. Apart from her affectionate behavior with Mei Fang at school, she generally maintained the image of a well-behaved girl.

Since you got in through connections, I thought this teacher was very close to your mom and would value you a lot.

You cant say that. It was my mom who got in touch with her through someone else, like a third party. I overheard my parents talking before, and my dad mentioned giving Teacher Huang many gifts.

Xia Yuan rested her chin on her hand and thought, Maybe if my dad hadnt given gifts, I might have been treated the same as Xiaoxue I feel like our homeroom teacher really doesnt like good-looking girls.

Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case

In Mei Fangs previous life, Huang Lian had a particularly bad reputation among the girls in middle school. Apart from strictly prohibiting girls from dressing up and keeping long hair, she often discussed the need for girls to have self-respect and frequently cracked down on puppy love.

Mei Fangs muttering puzzled Xia Yuan, How do you know what our homeroom teacher is like?

Huh? Oh, its nothing I just heard it from your classmates.

Mei Fang continued to focus on copying homework, Yuan Yuan, take care of yourself first but also remind Peng Xue. Let her copy your homework if needed, just dont let her clash with Yellow Face Wife directly.

Yellow Face Wife? Haha You actually know what we call her behind her back! But, its true, its easy to guess.

Xia Yuan nodded, Ill leave her a message on QQ, but given her personality, she probably wont listen to my advice

Try to persuade her, if it doesnt work, then let it be.

In his previous life, Mei Fang had no direct contact with Peng Xue, but as Xia Yuan introduced her to him, he found her to be a decent person.

Peng Xue had a cheerful and outgoing personality, but sometimes she was too extroverted and often accidentally bumped into others, leaving a somewhat overbearing impression.

Of course, the most important point was that Peng Xue was now Xia Yuans good friend. If she faced exclusion from the teacher, based on Mei Fangs understanding of Xia Yuans personality, she probably wouldnt stand by and do nothing.

And when that time comes Mei Fang would have to take action as well.

After several days of painful torment, everyone finally finished their homework and returned to the classroom. Li Shibing started by collecting everyones homework and then discussed the reorganization of groups and class committees.

In the first year of middle school, students grades fluctuated greatly. Some class officers were no longer suitable for their original roles, and after being criticized for their grades, Li Shibing immediately dismissed them and replaced them with others. Only Lin Youxis position remained unshaken.

Not only did she excel in all the tests, but she also maintained discipline in the class. When conflicts arose among classmates, or even when boys fought, she would step in and handle the situation, often without needing help.

In the class, there was an atmosphere where everyone should quickly disperse when Class Monitor Lin arrives. Even the mischievous troublemakers would cooperate, surrendering under her imposing aura, and not confronting her.

During Lin Youxis duty period at nap time, as she had to maintain discipline and couldnt sleep, she would sit alone at the podium doing homework or reading. At these moments, Mei Fang liked to watch her. When she passed by Mei Fang to enforce discipline, she would take the opportunity to punch him.

Go and take a nap, its nap time. Why do you keep staring at me?

Uh, Ill sleep right away. Mei Fang grinned.

It had been over half a year since the incident where Lin Youxi had crawled into Mei Fangs bed (sofa) at the beginning of the year, but he still vividly remembered her shy appearance at that time.

Its the kind of youthful memory that would make you uncontrollably smile when you think about it, just like the Ah Fangs Super Energy and Yuan Yuans Super Energy.

After that incident, Mei Fang actually felt that Lin Youxi became more affectionate towards him.

Of course, his relationship with Xia Yuan was still very good and intimate, but when he was with Lin Youxi, there was a distinct, or rather, a more special feeling.

For teenagers of the same age, this feeling might be difficult to describe, or perhaps they might not dare to think in that direction.

But for Mei Fang, it was very clear and certain.

However, it wasnt the right time yet.

Or fortunately, it wasnt the right time yet.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were both very lovely, and Mei Fang liked them both very much.

It was the kind of liking that he wanted to protect for a lifetime.

But, as Xia Yuan often emphasized, at this age, they should seriously focus on studying.

In addition, Mei Fang even had to consider his own future career path, as well as guiding the two carefree little ones towards their own futuresof course, the final choice and decision still rested in their hands, and Mei Fang could only play a guiding role.

He also didnt want the feelings of the two girls towards him to be merely a result of adolescent infatuation, instead of genuine liking. Otherwise, it wouldnt last and would only bring pain.

And now, Yuan Yuans state was very worrying to him. He was afraid that she might take the wrong path and play with fire as things progressed, so he could only try to distract her as much as possible with various new interesting games or topics about music.

In the end, the friendship of mutual trust between the three of them was the most shining if it turned into something else, comparisons would be inevitable.

Why compare who is better or more outstanding? Does being better or more outstanding deserve more love? After so many years of getting along, with such a good relationship, he really didnt want to show favoritism towards anyone

In the second year of middle school, a new main subject was introduced in school, and that was physics.

This subject caused many girls who had been at the top since elementary school to struggle and fall into the middle or even lower ranks, becoming a nightmare for them.

It was also Mei Fangs biggest concern for Xia Yuan.

So, from the beginning of the school year, he diligently encouraged Xia Yuan to make progress in her physics studies. Fortunately, she was doing quite well, scoring 75 on her first physics test, which was out of 85.

Of course, physics would become a real nightmare in high school, but its always good to start off on the right foot.

About two months into the life of the second year of middle school, Li Shibing began to announce matters related to advanced class, hoping that the top half of the class could participate in the advanced class prepared by him and several main subject teachers, which would take place every Sunday.

The school would set up this advanced class after the mid-term exams. The class would be held after the evening self-study until 8:30 p.m., and on Saturdays during the day, based on the mid-term and previous exam results of the students in each class to determine the list of selected students.

This meant that the study life of middle school was about to become busy.

But Lin Youxi was very happy after hearing this. She patted Mei Fangs back and excitedly asked, Does this mean that we can attend classes together with Yuan Yuan in the future?

Yeah, but we have to pass the exams first.
