After hearing Mei Fang's words, Xia Yuan's mood, which had calmed down a lot, suddenly fell to the bottom.
Her voice sounded very aggrieved, "Why do you have to do this too... Didn't we agree before that you would always support my decision, and stay by my side?"
"That's true... But I can't stand watching you suffer like this any longer. You should also understand that your strengths are in the humanities, not the sciences, right?"
"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear this from you!"
Xia Yuan covered her ears, her eyes full of grievance, "I had a big fight with Youxi today about this matter. If you also want to abandon me... I will, I will really become all alone..."
Mei Fang frowned: "I knew it, you really had a quarrel with Youxi."
"Are you saying this just to trick me?"
"How is that possible? I have considered this idea for a long time before deciding on it. When have I ever lied to you since you were a child?"
"A lot, a lot." Xia Yuan bit her lip, "Do you still remember why you have the nickname 'Liar'? And you still haven't paid me back the 10 yuan you owed me when you were five years old. You said you would pay me back last time, but you didn't. So you paid back Youxi's money!"
"Okay, let's skip this..."
Mei Fang paused. "Rather than thinking this way, shouldn't you first tell me why you quarreled with Youxi? She was really sad today. I saw that she didn't eat a single bite of food, and no one could persuade her."
Lin Youxi did not eat today, but she ate the bread that Yue Xinyi brought, and probably also the Good Friends Pie that Guo Yun gave her.
Otherwise, Mei Fang would definitely try every possible means to stuff things into Lin Youxi's mouth.
After listening to Mei Fang's statement, Xia Yuan's expression also flashed a trace of uneasiness. She continued to mutter to express her dissatisfaction:
"But... Youxi was really too much! She deliberately crossed out the two questions she knew how to do, just to pity me. She played with me and deceived my feelings in a condescending manner... I hate being deceived the most."
puff-
Mei Fang couldn't help laughing.
"Just because Youxi is so nice to you, you want to lose your temper with her?"
"Because I hate others giving me charity. That's looking down on me. I have to fight for what I want on my own." Xia Yuan sat on a stone bench, hugging his knees, and said word by word.
"I agree that what Youxi did was inappropriate, but if caring about your mood is considered charity and looking down on you, then you have always taken care of Youxi and been considerate of Youxi since she was a child, and shared all the good things with Youxi. Isn't this also charity to her? When buying things, didn't you notice that she always disliked you letting her take advantage of you?"
"If you put it that way... it's not wrong..."
Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes. "But in fact, it's not entirely because of this matter. The real reason is—"
"What is it?"
Xia Yuan shook his head desperately, "That is... a secret that cannot be told."
Can’t… tell you.
"Then I won't delve into it. It's normal for girls to have secrets."
Mei Fang held his chin and thought for a while, "Then you are so unhappy with Youxi now, do you want to break up with Youxi?"
"How is that possible!"
"Who do you think should apologize?"
"I can only say... both of them were wrong."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Youxi shouldn't have comforted me in that way. I shouldn't have said those things to Youxi... to Youxi... "
Xia Yuan was crying as she spoke, rubbing her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"Why would I say something like that to Youxi today? She must hate me to death... I really regret it now..."
Mei Fang reached out to help Xia Yuan wipe her tears. Xia Yuan cried and asked Mei Fang with tears in her eyes:
"Ah Fang... What do you think I should do?"
"Then apologize to her in person and talk it out between the two of you. Youxi is such a good girl, she will definitely be willing to apologize to you. Don't worry about whose face you can't save at this time. If both of you want to save face, you will never be able to reconcile."
Mei Fang gently stroked Xia Yuan's head:
"And I asked Youxi before, I asked her, 'How can girls make peace after a fight?' She told me that sincerity is the most important thing, as long as we talk to each other, we will definitely understand each other."
With Mei Fang's patient persuasion, Xia Yuan gradually came to his senses.
She patted her cheeks and then stood up.
"Fang, I now fully understand what I am going to do."
"Hmm... I understand. I'll prepare well tonight. Tomorrow—"
"I will go find Youxi and admit my mistake now."
"Ah? Go now?"
Xia Yuan nodded. "It will be too late if we wait until tomorrow. I have a scar in my heart now. I can't sleep unless I get rid of it."
"Then can you at least go home and tell your family?"
"Yes, sure." Xia Yuan nodded, "But I'm a girl, it's not safe for me to walk alone at night so late."
Mei Fang immediately showed a disgusted expression, "Why worry about this? I would have gone with you even if you hadn't told me."
"Wow... Why are you so nice, Fang?"
As Xia Yuan spoke, she hugged Mei Fang and stayed close to him for a while. Mei Fang even felt as if she was secretly biting his neck while she was hugging him.
But now Xia Yuan seemed to have completely forgotten that Mei Fang had advised her not to take the science experimental class.
The two put down their schoolbags, briefly explained the situation to their families, and then gathered at the gate of the community and walked to Lin Youxi's home together. However, Youxi's father was not at home today, only Youxi and Aunt Liang were there.
"Hello Aunt Liang... Sorry to bother you so late..."
"You guys have something to do with Youxi, right?" Liang Meijuan showed a hesitant expression, "Youxi is still studying, but she specifically told me today not to disturb her. She locked the door, and there is no key at home..."
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang looked at each other for a while, and then decided to go see Lin Youxi.
The two of them tiptoed upstairs and came to Lin Youxi's room. At Xia Yuan's instigation, Mei Fang knocked on the door first.
"Youxi? Are you there... It's me, Mei Fang. Yuanyuan and I chatted for a while today, and I want to talk to you about something."
Mei Fang knocked on the door gently, but there was no response from inside.
So Xia Yuan took his turn and knocked on the door gently.
"Youxi... um... that is... can you open the door first? I have something to tell you... Although I know you must hate me to death, I still want to say something to you face to face... Can you open the door?"
There was still no sound from Youxi's side.
Xia Yuan started crying after just a few words, this little crybaby.
"I can't scream, what should I do..."
Xia Yuan covered her face with her hands, feeling sad. "I already knew that Youxi would never forgive me this time... She must have tolerated me for a long time..."
"Please stop being so insecure."
Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan on the head, and Xia Yuan came up with a new idea: "Then let's wait here, Ah Fang? We just need to wait until dawn, Youxi will definitely be moved by us."
"But she keeps herself locked up inside... Will something happen..."
Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "Can you at least let me take a look?"
Mei Fang knew the layout of Lin Youxi's house very well. He found Aunt Liang and explained, "Aunt, I want to put a ladder on the roof of the storage room in the yard and climb up to Youxi's balcony. I want to check on Youxi and not disturb her studies."
"No, that's too dangerous. It's so dark and there are no protective measures. What if you fall down..."
"But Youxi is alone in the room and doesn't respond. Aren't you worried that something might happen to her?"
Liang Meijuan loved Lin Youxi very much. After hearing what Mei Fang said, she felt a little scared when she thought about Youxi's abnormal condition after returning home today.
"Then, Auntie, I'll climb up and take a look."
"No, no, I can do it! I'm familiar with it. In the past, Youxi always forgot to bring her keys when she went out, so I crawled into your house and opened the door from the inside like this."
“Yes, that’s right…” Liang Meijuan didn’t know what to say. She really didn’t know this family as well as Mei Fang.
Regardless of whether it was because Yuanyuan said something hurtful to Youxi, there was clearly a thick wall in Youxi's heart.
This wall made her refuse to get close to Mei Fang and even refuse to communicate with others.
She is now somewhat similar to the cold and arrogant academic master that Mei Fang was familiar with in her previous life. Because she lost her only good friend, she has been alone and closed her heart.
At this moment, Mei Fang, who was climbing the ladder, suddenly thought of a song that would not be released until three years later -
There is a wall in your heart
But I found a window
[Occasionally revealed]
[A glimmer of warm light]
Even if you have a wall
[My love will climb onto the windowsill and bloom]
[Open the window and you will see - sadness melts away]
call…
Mei Fang climbed up to the balcony outside Lin Youxi's room. Just as he was about to knock on the window, the curtains in the room were suddenly drawn open, and Lin Youxi met Mei Fang through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Her eyes were red and swollen, probably because she had been crying for a long time.
However, when she saw Mei Fang appear, her expression suddenly became very surprised.
Mei Fang waved to Lin Youxi somewhat awkwardly. Lin Youxi quickly opened the French window and hugged Mei Fang.
Just as decisive as when he cried and begged Mei Fang not to move or leave.
"How did you suddenly appear here?"
Lin Youxi raised her head and looked at Mei Fang, feeling both surprised and happy.
Why…
Whenever I need it...
Lin Youxi looked back at her desk and said, "I was just listening to music..."
Lin Youxi later bought herself an MP3 player. She gave the new one to Mei Fang and kept the old one that Mei Fang had given her.
"Ah... It turned out to be a misunderstanding! I thought you didn't want to see us anymore."
He and Xia Yuan only knocked on the door lightly once and spoke once before not trying any further because they were afraid of making Lin Youxi angry.
"How could it be possible... I don't want to see you."
Lin Youxi wiped her tears and smiled, "You are the most important people to me."
"I heard everything from Yuanyuan... She is very regretful now, so she came to see you... Anyway, do you want to meet her?"
Lin Youxi nodded and slowly let go of Mei Fang's arms.
"I want to see her, too. What happened today... ultimately it was all my fault. I want to apologize to her."
Seeing Lin Youxi's attitude, Mei Fang no longer hesitated. He came to the door, unlocked it, and gently opened the door. He saw Xia Yuan running back from downstairs with his hands crossed in front of him, looking uneasy.
"Come, talk to Youxi. She also has something to tell you."
Mei Fang gave way to Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi looked at each other for the first time after their quarrel. They have always been a close duo, but this was the first time they looked at each other so shyly and awkwardly.
Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder to encourage her to go in, then slowly closed the door and went to the living room on the first floor. Aunt Liang poured him a glass of milk.
"Thank you, Auntie."
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome…”
Aunt Liang sat next to Mei Fang and asked softly, "Yuanyuan and Youxi had a quarrel today, right?"
"yes… "
Mei Fang nodded, "But we should be able to reconcile now."
"It's good to be able to reconcile..."
Liang Meijuan smiled and said, "Although I didn't see you grow up, I can feel that you two have a very good relationship. It would be great if it could always be this good."
"Well... I'll try my best, Auntie."
"Afang, thank you for your hard work."
"We have Xi. Although she is sensible and obedient, she is sometimes very introverted and keeps things to herself. I can only ensure that she is well fed, clothed and taken care of, but for the rest, I can only count on Yuanyuan and you... especially you."
"Haha... I'm not that great."
Mei Fang scratched his head embarrassedly. "Our friendship must be maintained by all three of us. If I'm alone, I can't do anything."
"That's true..."
Liang Meijuan stood up and wiped her hands. "Then wait for Yuanyuan and Youxi to make up. If you are tired, you can lie down on the sofa for a while. Auntie will go to work first."
"Okay, Auntie."
As soon as Mei Fang waited for Aunt Liang to leave, she fell headfirst onto the sofa.
Phew... I am so exhausted today.
It had been an incredibly long day.
I don't know how these two girls were chatting.
I hope we won't end up quarreling again while chatting, haha...
Hmm... probably not.
I already want to apologize to each other.
Although I played a role in bringing the couple together, both people must first care about each other. I was just giving them a push forward.
Make peace with each other soon...you two silly girls.
call…
Mei Fang kept thinking about things and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi walked out of the room.
There were traces of tears on their faces, and a faint smile.
They came out hand in hand.
When they went downstairs and saw Mei Fang sleeping on the sofa, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi became more cautious.
They tiptoed to the sofa where Mei Fang was. Youxi sat on the side of the sofa, and Xia Yuan sat on another sofa. She held her chin with her hand and looked at Mei Fang, then poked Mei Fang's cheek playfully.
"He sleeps soundly."
"Um… "
Lin Youxi nodded. "I think Ah Fang must be sadder than us today after seeing us quarreling."
"yes… "
Xia Yuan placed her hand on the side of Mei Fang's cheek and looked at Mei Fang with tenderness.
"We can't let him be so sad in the future..."
"Um."
Lin Youxi also put her hand on Mei Fang's chest, her eyes moving with joy.
She loved feeling Mei Fang's heartbeat.
"By the way, Youxi, I have an idea about what we just talked about!"
Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi and said, "The three of us grew up together and are the best childhood sweethearts in the world, so let's not fight to the death for Ah Fang like in other novels or stories. That's not worth it, and it will make Ah Fang sad."
"So... let's not take our relationship with Ah Fang any further, and just be childhood sweethearts forever."
"As for whether or not to develop into another relationship, when we grow up and reach the right age, let Ah Fang make his own choice. What do you think?"
Lin Youxi nodded, "Okay."
"But... I actually hope that Ah Fang will never choose."
"Is it always like this?"
Xia Yuan thought about it and laughed, "Indeed, that seems to be a good idea..."
"Then it's a deal?"
Xia Yuan stretched out her little finger to Lin Youxi, and seeing this, Lin Youxi also stretched out her little finger tacitly.
Xia Yuan also pulled up Mei Fang's hand, and the two of them hooked their hands around his drooping little fingers.
"Pin, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change—"
The two of them spoke in very quiet voices about the most sincere words of their childhood promise.
But this action also gradually woke up Mei Fang who was sleeping soundly.
His eyes moved, and then he struggled to rub his eyes. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were so scared that their faces turned red and they quickly stood at attention.
Then Mei Fang got up from the sofa. Half asleep, he saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi standing in front of him hand in hand.
"Am I dreaming?"
"No, no!"
Mei Fang felt that he had a good sleep, but he was still a little grumpy when he woke up.
"So... you two have reconciled?"
"It's all right, it's all right!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi held hands and hugged each other, "Look, we are no longer quarreling."
"… "
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, "What about the science experimental class?"
Xia Yuan shook his head. "I'll listen to you and Youxi and not apply for the science experimental class. I really can't like physics, and I probably won't like it even more in high school. I'd better study liberal arts."
"That's fine… "
Mei Fang nodded, and then said to Youxi, "Youxi, we won't take the science experimental class anymore."
Lin Youxi's eyes showed a trace of astonishment, and Xia Yuan shook his head frantically, "This is not right! You can't lower your level for me... I don't force myself to be in the same class with you now, really, you don't have to study liberal arts for me... I will still blame myself if I do that..."
"Not taking the science experimental class doesn't mean I intend to accommodate you."
Mei Fang said seriously, "I have thought about this carefully these past few days. I think we don't need to be constrained by the perspective of this small county. We shouldn't fight so hard for Baimei No. 1 Middle School. To be honest, this school is only strong in science. It is difficult for liberal arts students to succeed. Even if Yuanyuan studies liberal arts in this school, she won't have a good development."
"So, Ah Fang, what you mean is—"
"According to our strength, our goal can be to become a school with stronger faculty and more comprehensiveness. In this way, Yuanyuan, you don't have to focus too much on physics in the exam, and you can also play to your strengths and advantages in the humanities."
Mei Fang's words brightened the two little ones' confused eyes.
"Baizhou High School in Baizhou and Jiangcheng Normal School Affiliated to Jiangcheng are the top high schools in Chubei Province. They are among the top eight schools in the alliance. They are also the high schools that we can get in touch with and are more suitable for the goals we strive for."
No updates today
I suffered a lot to come up with this plot, and I won’t give you a single drop of it.
In addition, I hope that everyone will stop discussing whether junior high school physics is difficult or not. I have always emphasized that it is competition physics, not basic physics. I am a copy of Xia Yuan, and Xia Yuan's experience in taking physics exams is my own experience. Is it true or not? I was the most powerful person in my class in junior high school, often ranked in the top three, and my physics was not bad. I entered the gifted class, where I was given competition physics questions every day, and I was ranked second in the exam every day. Now I regret why I went to the gifted class. The eras are different, the schools are different, and the differences are huge. This sense of unity is hard to substitute. Please stop arguing. If you continue to argue, it will be my own setting. If you really don't like it, you will not be allowed to read my book. I am so angry.
In addition, the full score for physics we mentioned is 85.
