Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi attended the annual gathering of their friends. On the way home, Lin Youxi suddenly brought up the matter of their dividends.
"You do it again! I won't give you any wish tickets this year no matter what."
Mei Fang still remembered the trauma of last year. Xia Yuan took Mei Fang's arm and laughed at him, "Hehe, Ah Fang is scared."
"It's okay if you don't give me the wish vouchers, but have you thought of something to share with me and Yuanyuan?"
"I don't know what else to give you. You guys don't like money that much, and I've already bought all the gifts I should buy... You guys can just tell me your wishes, and I'll find a way to make them come true for you."
Xia Yuan has a clear plan for what she wants:
"Well! Just like what I said before... I've been at your house with you and Uncle Mei to explain our relationship to Auntie. Shouldn't you also come with me to meet my parents?"
Mei Fang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't we meet when I sent you back this year?"
"That time we met as childhood sweethearts, this time we need to meet as a couple."
Xia Yuan thought about it, then grabbed Mei Fang's collar and said coquettishly, "Youxi and I have slept at your house for so long, you must stay overnight at my house this time no matter what."
"Um... then can Youxi come with us?"
Facing Mei Fang's request for help, Lin Youxi just smiled and shook her head, "I have to spend more time with my parents. Fang, I want to use the money you gave me to renovate my home."
Xia Yuan wondered, "Why don't we renovate the old house? How about just buying a new one? We've lived here for so long anyway. We always move directly."
After hearing this, Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head. "This is the house my grandparents left for my dad and mom. I feel more at ease living in the original place. Mom is also more familiar with it."
Lin Youxi is now willing to call Liang Meijuan "Mom", but when she calls her "Mom", she is basically talking about her biological mother.
"… "
After hearing this, Xia Yuan suddenly felt a little guilty, and quickly pulled Lin Youxi's hand and muttered, "I'm sorry... I didn't think it through, I didn't expect this-"
"Ha... what's the matter?"
Lin Youxi pinched Xia Yuan's cheek and said, "This is my own insistence. It has nothing to do with you, Yuanyuan."
"So, what is Youxi's wish?"
"Hmm... Let me think about it."
Lin Youxi held his chin and thought for a while. When he was about to start a conversation, he suddenly heard the sound of an electric car horn behind him. Lin Youxi and Mei Fang turned around and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's Teacher Li!"
"Hello, Teacher Li!"
"What a coincidence... Are you guys playing on the street?"
The person riding on an electric bike and greeting the three people was Mei Fang’s junior high school teacher Li Shibing. There was a little boy sitting in front of his electric bike.
"You are Mei Fang... You are, Lin Youxi? You have changed so much. If Mei Fang wasn't here for reference, I wouldn't have recognized you."
"Teacher Li! I'm Xia Yuan from Class 8 next door. Do you still remember me?"
"Remember, remember. You're a big star now. Who wouldn't remember? Haha."
Li Shibing smiled and scratched his head. "However, what I remember most about you is what happened with that girl called Xue and your class teacher back then..."
Li Shibing gave Xia Yuan a thumbs up and said, "You are really brave to stand up for your companions in such an occasion. I often tell the students in my class about what happened between you two."
"Hehehe... that was a long time ago, I'm quite embarrassed..."
Xia Yuan subconsciously hid behind Mei Fang shyly.
"How are you doing in Jiangcheng Normal University? Are you used to it?"
"Yeah, that's good!"
"Lin Youxi, how are you? Are you still the class monitor?"
Lin Youxi nodded and said, "I learned a lot of skills in handling class affairs from Teacher Li, which will be useful later."
"That's good... That's good."
"Teacher Li, why are you only talking to them and not asking me?"
"Yes, it's working, it's going great!"
Mei Fang had no guilt at all when he lied.
The three of them chatted with their former class teacher Li Shibing on the side of the road for a while. Finally, the little boy sitting in the front row of Li Shibing became a little impatient and kept jumping up and down to urge his father:
"Dad, Dad! You said you would take me to the amusement park! Let's go! Let's go!"
"Okay, okay... I got it, I got it... right away."
Li Shibing and Mei Youyuan just smiled and said hello, "My son is urging us to go out and play, so I won't chat for now."
Mei Fang and his group waved to Li Shibing and said, "We will come to pay you New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, okay! See you then!"
The group watched the head teacher walk away.
"Old Li looks pretty good."
Lin Youxi glanced at Mei Fang lightly, "It's been less than two years since he graduated. How could he have changed?"
Mei Fang smiled and shook his head, "That's true... It turns out that only two years have passed, but it feels like junior high school was so many years ago."
Although only two years have passed since they graduated from junior high school, for Mei Fang, he and Xia Yuanlin Youxi have grown from being young and immature to gradually mature, and have experienced many things in the process.
It should be said that it is a change in mentality from children to teenagers and girls.
Although Mei Fang had experiences from his previous life, he had also changed a lot compared to his previous life.
It feels so great to grow together like this.
Just when Mei Fang was lost in emotion, Lin Youxi poked Mei Fang's arm.
"After seeing Teacher Li, I now know what gift I want—"
Lin Youxi's expression looked as if she wanted to eat Mei Fang. This familiar expression made Mei Fang panic on the spot. Xia Yuan also noticed the meaning behind Lin Youxi's words and quickly waved her hand to stop Lin Youxi, saying, "Youxi, calm down! It's too early to ask for a child as a gift..."
"… "
Lin Youxi was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Why do you think so far? I was just talking about Teacher Li's electric car."
"Electric car?"
"Yeah... We don't live together now, so it would be inconvenient to see Xia Yuan. It's a bit far to ride a bicycle, and it's not easy to bring someone with you. It's also very cold to ride a bicycle in winter, so..."
"Sure, let's go buy an electric bike." Mei Fang thought this was too easy, "You probably don't know how to ride an electric bike yet, can I teach you?"
"I have my own full-time driver, so I don't need to learn it myself."
Lin Youxi put his hand on Mei Fang's shoulder and said, "You buy the car and you drive it."
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Since you want to buy one, let's buy a bigger one, a large pedal electric car so we can ride around together."
Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had no idea how to spend money after they became rich, so they went to buy an electric car. This place happened to be next to the store where they bought the electric car for Lin Youxi's father, so they went there and picked out a top-grade flagship electric car.
Although electric bikes and motorcycles can only carry one person at most on the road, this is not a big deal in the small county town. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi got on Mei Fang's electric bike together without any burden.
Xia Yuan, who was a little shorter, sat in the pointed seat for children in the front, lying in the arms of Mei Fang and little Mei Fang, while Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang from behind and held her close to his back, just like they did back then.
Mei Fang rode her bike on the road, and passers-by cast envious glances at her. Everyone couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Mei Fang first sent Xia Yuan home, then sent Lin Youxi home, and then rode her new electric bike back to her own home.
Although the money was Mei Fang's own, he was still chased by his mother Xiang Xiaoxia with a clothesline and scolded for spending money indiscriminately. Mei Fang had almost no way to fight back.
Mom is indeed invincible.
It’s gone today, and I forgot about it later.
