The name Lin Youxi was not unfamiliar to Mei Fang when he was in school.
In any public occasion in high school, Lin Youxi would speak on stage as a student representative.
As she has always been the top student in her grade, she has always been ranked first on the list of study stars. Because they are in the next class, Mei Fang can always run into Lin Youxi.
This is a super female academic who has a very cold personality and gives off an aloof aura that keeps strangers away. Mei Fang had never spoken a word to her in his previous life, so naturally there was no intersection between them.
Who would have thought that she would be so naughty in kindergarten
What on earth did she go through during those years
How curious.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when school was over, the outside of the classroom was crowded with parents who came to pick up their children. They walked into the classroom one by one, greeted the teacher, and then took their children home.
Mei Fang recognized his father Mei Lijun with thick hair at a glance. Apart from that, his appearance didn't seem to have changed much from 20 years ago, except for a few fewer wrinkles.
But today he wet his pants and had a nosebleed, so there was no chance of him being taken away directly.
Lin Youxi's parents arrived late and were also kept back—a thin man with glasses.
After all, Lin Youxi had some friction with Mei Fang today, so you should know that Lin Youxi's father kept apologizing to Mei Lijun with a very sincere attitude. Although Lin Youxi was held by his father's hand, he lowered his head and did not speak.
Parents of this era are accustomed to their children's bumps and bruises, and there will be no disputes as long as they inform each other.
Mei Fang's father, Mei Lijun, even came up and gave Mei Fang a slap in the face.
"You wet the bed in kindergarten again. You're so old, but you've made your father lose face!"
"Hey, Mei Fang's father, stop hitting him, stop hitting him. Why do you hit a child? He didn't mean it."
Teacher Li tried to persuade her from the side, but Mei Fang did not say a word even when being beaten. Seeing that the child was not crying and making a fuss like in the past, Mei Lijun suddenly felt bored and had to drag Mei Fang back home on his motorcycle.
If you think about it carefully, besides the lack of strength, this 5-year-old body still has a lot of problems...
I thought I could have a good rest at home, but after returning home, my mother Xiang Xiaoxia learned about Mei Fang's glorious deeds. She was so angry that she picked up a clothes hanger and beat Mei Fang again.
Mei Lijun saw his wife beating the child so hard, and immediately tried to dissuade her: "Honey, that's enough. I've already beaten him in the classroom. If you continue beating him like this, the child will remember the grudge."
"What are you afraid of? I'm his biological mother! Besides, he's so young, he'll have forgotten everything when he grows up."
How could I forget it now!
Mei Fang doubted very much how she grew up healthily. It was really outrageous that she had no shadow at all from her original family.
Compared with dad, whose hair volume only changed, mom Xiang Xiaoxia seemed to have changed a lot. Her spanking hands were very slender and her face had almost no wrinkles.
It seemed as if Mei Fang realized for the first time that his nagging old mother who always urged him to go on blind dates was actually quite beautiful when she was young.
Time is merciless...
Today, Mei Fang was no longer crying and willful as usual. After being beaten, she just yelled a few words but didn't cry. After that, she kept eating and watching TV in silence.
Mei Lijun was picking his teeth on the sofa after dinner. Seeing Mei Fang constantly changing channels, he suddenly became curious and asked, "Why aren't you watching cartoons today? Isn't that the Beyblade your favorite?"
"I'm tired of watching this. Only children watch this."
Mei Fang switched to the sports channel and saw that the TV station was broadcasting a football match program. Looking at the content, Mei Fang suddenly came back to his senses.
"Dad, is there a World Cup game going on right now?"
"You still care about this?"
Mei Fang paused and then nodded, "This is the most remarkable moment for our national team."
"Yes, you can understand these things."
In Mei Fang's memory, his father has always been a die-hard football fan, often getting up in the middle of the night to watch the game. Obviously, he could not hide his excitement:
"You know, this year our Football Association said we should strive to win a game, get a point, and score a goal. That's really disappointing!"
"Because this is our first time to enter the World Cup, I think this goal is very reasonable."
"What the hell is reasonable? This is too narrow-minded! With the strength we showed in the qualifying round, Godzilla can't just play against Liga. This is the second time for the local chickens to enter the World Cup. It's not too much to draw, right? At most, we can lose to Samba. After all, they are the kingdom of football, we should respect them..."
Mei Lijun was very dissatisfied with his son's complicated expression, "Can't you just listen carefully? Why do you look like you don't believe your father's professional prediction?"
"Dad, let's make a bet. If our national team can't qualify, you will give me 100 yuan." Mei Fang showed his wolfish ambition as a reborn character.
"What do you need so much money for, kid?"
Mei Lijun was furious and hit Mei Fang's head viciously.
"As a Chinese man, how can you have so little confidence in the national team! This is the first time in 44 years that our national football team has entered the World Cup. Sun Xiaohai is a fierce player playing in the Premier League, our General Fan is even more brave and invincible, and that guy is the best striker in Dongzhou. There is no doubt that this is the beginning of a legend and the first step of a great journey!"
"If you don't gamble with the 100 yuan, how about the 50 yuan?"
Mei Fang was still unwilling to give up, "Let's have the game tomorrow, right? Let's bet that Godzilla loses in the first game."
"Why would a kid bet so much money? He's only betting 10 dollars with you at most."
Meilijun thought for a moment and said, "If you lose, you won't be allowed to buy snacks or toys for a month."
"Okay..." Mei Fang acted reluctantly, thinking to himself, 10 yuan for so much, Dad, you are really a ruthless person.
Mei Fang watched some TV news to review the current environment, then her mother urged her to go to bed and start thinking about her own money-making plan.
Children are always accompanied by their parents when they are picked up and dropped off at kindergarten. They need adults’ permission to go out and play, and they can only play with nearby children in the park within the community.
Fortunately, it is already June, and he will become an elementary school student in less than a month of summer vacation. Elementary school students from ordinary families in the county are basically free to go wherever they want to play, and their freedom will be increased to a higher level, so that they can do what they want.
However, before entering primary school, Mei Fang still has one thing he cannot miss - that is the World Cup lottery.
Mei Fang, who has returned after 20 years, cannot miss the code of wealth that is within his reach.
The next morning at around six o'clock, Mei Fang was woken up by her family to go to school.
"You dressed yourself today? That's impressive, kid."
Xiang Xiaoxia rubbed Mei Fang's round head and said with some doubt, "It seems that Zizi has become a different person after he wet the bed yesterday. He didn't cry when I hit him. He is so strong."
Meilijun nodded and said with a deep feeling, "Maybe this is what growth is."
In fact, Mei Fang thought that after some time, her family would slowly get used to her independence. Fortunately, her parents did not doubt the changes in Mei Fang, and most people could not even imagine this.
But you can't be too distracted from the role and should act like a child.
Riding on her father's motorcycle, Mei arrived at the kindergarten gate and stretched out her hand to her father.
"Dad, give me a dollar. I want to buy a lollipop."
"I didn't eat it myself. I made Xia Yuan cry yesterday, so I brought it here to apologize today."
"Xia Yuan... the girl who lives in the same neighborhood as us and lives in the courtyard? How did you get together with her? Didn't you say before that you don't play with girls?"
Meilijun pinched his son's face and said, "You little bastard, have you thought it through now and are attracted to her again?"
Mei Fang let go of his father's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the money quickly."
"How dare you talk to your father like that! You're so bold to charge 1 dollar for a lollipop!"
Mei Fang was hit by another chestnut.
Despite the beating, Mei Lijun still took Mei Fang to the store in front of the kindergarten to buy a 50-cent strawberry-flavored Alves lollipop to show his magnanimity as a father.
Tsk... I was planning to pretend that I bought it and save the money, but the plan failed.
Mei Fang was one of the few students who arrived at the kindergarten earlier, but Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi arrived even earlier. They both seemed to be playing with handicrafts at their seats early in the morning.
It turns out that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi are good friends, and they seem to have a good relationship...
Mei Fang didn't go over to sit down either, but when he saw him enter the classroom, Xia Yuan also trotted over.
"Mei Fang, Mei Fang, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I want to apologize to you."
"Apologize? What are you apologizing for..."
Xia Yuan said seriously: "My mother said that I always cry for no reason. No one will like me when I grow up. I have to correct my shortcomings."
Xia Yuan put his hands behind his back and twisted his body shyly, then stretched out his hands, holding a paper crane in his palms, "This is the paper crane I folded, I want to give it to you."
…
This is a pink paper crane. The head of the crane is painted red, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it.
Mei Fang suddenly felt emotional when he thought about the fact that no girl had ever given him a gift in his previous life.
"Thank you..."
"Also... Lin Youxi pushed you yesterday. She secretly told me that it was careless, so she also wanted to apologize to you."
Mei Fang looked up at Lin Youxi who was standing next to Xia Yuan. She lowered her head as if she was thinking about something. She looked up only after Xia Yuan gently touched her arm. She handed the thing to Mei Fang, looked up and said softly, "I'm sorry," and then quickly ran behind Xia Yuan.
Isn't this a good way to communicate
Are you embarrassed in front of adults
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind."
The college bully from my previous life begged for my forgiveness in a humble manner, and I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction!
Mei Fang suddenly fell silent.
How come I am just this good
Lin Youxi also folded a thousand paper cranes, but these were blue, wrinkled and dirty, and it was obvious that she had folded them repeatedly many times before she succeeded.
Mei Fang didn't care too much about this. He remembered what was in his pocket and handed the lollipop to Xia Yuan.
"By the way, this is what I promised you yesterday. I'll give you a lollipop."
"You actually still remember it, I had completely forgotten it!" Xia Yuan took the lollipop from Mei Fang, looking excited.
"Isn't this a done deal?"
Lin Youxi on the side looked at the lollipop quietly, as if thinking about something.
"Well, now that everyone has reconciled, we can be good friends again!"
"Good friends? When..."
Xia Yuan did not notice Mei Fang's doubt. She just pulled Mei Fang's hand, two dimples appeared on her face, and a smile as bright as the rising sun emerged.
"Mei Fang, Mei Fang, can we do that pinky promise we made yesterday again?"
"I don't care. What do you want to agree on this time?"
Xia Yuan stretched out his right little finger and hooked it on Mei Fang's little finger, then he pulled Mei Fang in front of Lin Youxi.
"Lin Youxi, are you coming too?"
"… "
Mei Fang read a hint of reluctance in Lin Youxi's eyes, but still followed obediently.
Sure enough, she was only forced to open the business at the request of a good friend...
Come to think of it, when she pushed me yesterday, could it be because she was jealous of my good relationship with Xia Yuan
When I think about it this way, I suddenly feel that it’s a little cute hahaha…
The three children intertwined their fingers, and then Xia Yuan expressed her wish:
"From now on, we can't quarrel anymore. We must always be good friends!"
"Pin ~ Hang ~ For a hundred years ~ Don't change!"
Feeling the remaining warmth from his fingertips, Mei Fang suddenly felt inexplicably upset.
In his previous life, he had been single since birth until he died suddenly at work. He thought that girls had never cared about him.
But this Xia Yuan seems to like me quite a lot... Even though she's just a kid.
According to Mei Fang's father, he only played with boys in the past. Although Xia Yuan lived in the same community as him and was very close to him, they were not actually any closer.
Moreover, Mei Fang moved when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Maybe that was when we completely lost contact
In other words, this childhood sweetheart with whom I could have had a closer relationship, but for some unknown reason, I missed out on that opportunity unknowingly.
Of course, there are dozens or even hundreds of people who have missed their chance in life for various reasons, but Mei Fang now has the thinking and experience of an adult.
Once you meet your destined person, you will never let him/her go.
As for Xia Yuan's words—
Although she is a good little crybaby who keeps saying what her mom said, she is also quite cute haha…
Well... the future is promising!
