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

Chapter 16: Just because I am in this mountain

Views:

[Raining all night]

My love overflows like rain

[Leaves Fallen in the Yard]

[A thick stack of my thoughts]

[A few words of right and wrong]

[I can't cool my enthusiasm]

[You appear on every page of my poem]

The time came to the turn of summer and autumn in 2005. It was the era when Allen's golden songs dominated the Chinese music scene, and his title of King of Pop began to be mentioned by countless people.

Mei Fang, who is now 9 years old, has officially entered the fourth grade.

At that crossroads where he had never made a choice in his previous life, Mei Fang persuaded his parents to let him attend the electronic education class taught by Xia Yuan's mother, Teacher Yu, on the grounds that he wanted to learn more about computers.

When she was in elementary school, Xia Yuan was still popular among her classmates. This was not only because she was the daughter of the homeroom teacher, Ms. Yu, but also because of her angelic personality and sweet and lovely looks, which were enough to make her a hot topic.

Of course, she did not disappoint her mother's expectations in her studies. As the Chinese language study committee member, her Chinese grades were among the best in the class, but her math performance was a little weak.

During this period, Mr. Yu implemented a mutual aid group program in the class. Xia Yuan then sat next to a student with excellent math grades, helping each other.

"It's time for morning reading. No more sleeping in. You have to start memorizing."

Xia Yuan nudged Mei Fang, who was dozing on the table, with his elbow and didn't stop until he moved.

"Huh... time goes by so fast."

Mei Fang yawned lazily and took out his textbook reluctantly.

Although three years have passed since his rebirth, Mei Fang still can't get used to having to get up at six or seven o'clock.

"Did you play games at home until late last night again?"

Mei Fang held his chin and stared blankly at the textbook, seemingly still in a daze, which made Xia Yuan a little angry.

"I'm telling you, even if your grades are good, you can't be so lazy. Studying is like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will fall behind. Look, you only got 99 points in math last time, which is a big step backward compared to the 100 points you always got before."

"As long as I finish what I need to memorize today, will you stop bothering me?"

Mei Fang flipped through the Chinese textbook and said, "It seems that we only need to recite two poems today?"

During the Chinese morning reading time, primary school students have the task of reciting poetry texts. The person who finishes reciting the poem in front of the teacher first has the right to check the recitation of other students.

"Don't underestimate these two poems. They are hard to memorize..."

Xia Yuan, the class representative, had memorized the poem with her mother last night. "It took me an hour to pass it last night!"

"That's not difficult. I'll recite it to you right now."

Mei Fang closed the textbook, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"A ray of setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and the other half is red. It's a pity that on the third night of September, the dew looks like pearls and the moon looks like a bow."

"Hmm... 'Song of the Dusk River' is fine. The next one is Su Shi's 'On the Wall of the West Forest'."

Xia Yuan was worried that Mei Fang had peeked at the textbook, so she pressed it down and said, "I said, you can't read the book now, or you will have to recite it again."

"In that case, how about we add a code?"

Mei Fang half-closed her eyes and smiled, "If I can recite it, will you do my homework for me tonight?"

"Then..." Xia Yuan pouted, "What if you can't recite it?"

"you say."

Xia Yuan seized the opportunity.

"You promised us to go roller skating together at the Cultural Square last time, but you never kept your promise! If you can't recite it, you must go with me this weekend no matter what."

"no problem!"

Mei Fang coughed lightly a few times, and then began his performance:

"When you look at a mountain from the side, it looks like a mountain, and when you look at it from the front, it looks like a peak. It looks different from different distances and heights."

“…” Xia Yuan showed a little surprise.

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu—"

Xia Yuan bit her lip and looked at Mei Fang eagerly. Mei Fang glanced at her and then pretended to be in deep thought for a long time.

Um…

Mei Fang stuck out her tongue at Xia Yuan mischievously, "I forgot."

"Yes, yes, I'll do as you say."

I cannot recognize the true appearance of Mount Lu because I am already in it.

Mei Fang has not forgotten the tragedy of the family of the head teacher of the electronic education class in his previous life. In recent years, he has been paying special attention to Xia Yuan's family situation.

But maybe it was because of the butterfly effect caused by Mei Fang's appearance, some places in this world were no longer what he was familiar with.

The place names of some cities, the names of people, and the plots of some cartoons are all different from what Mei Fang had in mind.

If these are just possible memory errors, then the following incident undoubtedly proves the change of the world line -

In his previous life, Mei Fang was an only child, but after this rebirth, Mei Fang had a younger sister.

My mother quit her job in the system because of this. Family planning was strictly enforced in those days, and if my father Mei Lijun was discovered, he would also lose his job. The existence of my sister became a secret known only to a few people around her.

There is no doubt that this was the confidence that the wealth that Mei Fang gained from winning the lottery gave to his parents, but he was still shocked when he learned that he was going to be a brother.

Since the time span of rebirth is too long ago, Mei Fang has no way of confirming whether such a tragedy will happen to Xia Yuan again.

But as long as you stay by her side and keep a close eye on her, there will always be a chance to change the original world line.

As long as we avoid the tragedy of that time,

After school, primary school students in Baimei County would choose to organize themselves into teams, with the person whose home was the farthest from home usually serving as the team leader.

The team leader has a team sign prepared by the school with the word "Let" on it. Students in the same class line up in an orderly manner and can only leave the team and go home when they are almost home.

When Mei Fang and Xia Yuan return to the community, they do not go to their separate homes. Mei Fang will finish her homework together with Xia Yuan and stay at her home for a while before going back.

"Your father seems to be coming home quite late these days."

"Well, the hotel business has been quite busy recently..."

Xia Yuan was pondering over a math problem. Seeing that she looked worried, Mei Fang leaned over to take a look.

"Haven't I taught you this problem many times? Use the cut-and-fill method here. If you put the area here, it will become a trapezoid..."

“I know you’ve taught me this many times…”

Xia Yuan sighed silently, "But I just can't think of that."

Fourth grade is a hurdle for many elementary school students. Perhaps their grades have been very good in grades one, two and three, and the teaching content is simple, so they can basically get good grades just by being diligent.

By the fourth grade of elementary school, the gap in math scores will gradually become apparent, because there are more and more knowledge points to learn, and the difficulty is also increasing. Some elementary school students will find it difficult to learn, and Xia Yuan is obviously one of them.

"But... if you really can't do it, why not just leave it alone? Don't force yourself."

"You can't think like that."

Xia Yuan shook her head and said, "I am a three-good student, a role model for everyone to learn from, and the daughter of the head teacher. If I don't work hard, everyone will think that I can only play the role of a good student because of my mother's prestige..."

Xia Yuan's idol burden is as heavy as ever. Mei Fang sighed and said:

"There are many ways out in life. You don't have to be a good role model. The most important thing is to live a happy life."

“That’s true… but I really like that feeling.”

"in addition… "

Xia Yuan let out a long sigh and continued, "You know, Mei Fang, the reason why I especially like playing with you since we were little is that you are really different from other boys."

"What do you mean?"

"Most of them only know how to play cards, games, fight, show off, and bully girls, but you won't do that."

"I have never bullied you?"

Mei Fang knocked on Xia Yuan's head and said, "Look, I often do things like this."

"That's not bullying. There are many boys who do childish things, like drawing on girls' clothes, pulling girls' braids, etc. You wouldn't do that."

"So?"

Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's cheek, "Does this count as bullying you?"

"Don't push your luck, you big stupid pig!"

An angry Xia Yuan pinched back as well, and as they pinched, they looked at each other's silly faces, and they both couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At dusk, in the setting sun, the two children are no longer innocent.

Starting today, the AI drawings presented daily will become those of elementary school students!

I have also received everyone’s requests to read more high school stories. I do plan to write some high school stories in detail, but they won’t be so long that they are not completed before they are put on the shelves. After all, I can’t do that too early, right... The pace will be too slow.
