Lin Youxi came back from the clothing store. Xia Yuan saw her from afar and moved towards her with a bowl of dumplings.
"Youxi, there are some dumplings here, do you want some?"
Lin Youxi was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Ah Fang didn't finish it and you left it for me?"
"No, this is specially left for you. You can't finish it if you buy too much."
As Xia Yuan spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of glutinous rice balls and handed it to Lin Youxi's mouth.
"I'll do it myself..." Lin Youxi said as she put down the bag and wanted to get the bowl and spoon herself, but Xia Yuan didn't give her the chance and fed the glutinous rice balls into Lin Youxi's mouth.
"It's okay, don't be shy!"
Lin Youxi opened her mouth and ate the glutinous rice dumpling in one bite.
“Is it sweet?”
Lin Youxi nodded, "It's delicious. Don't you want to eat it?"
"I've already eaten! These are for you."
Although a lot of things have happened between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, in their ordinary lives, Mei Fang is busy playing games, learning code, and making future plans. She rarely participates in things like shopping, while Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan spend more time together. Their relationship is still very pure and beautiful.
Lin Youxi finished eating the glutinous rice balls that Xia Yuan fed her, and then said to Xia Yuan: "By the way, Yuanyuan, let's compare the expenses for today, shall we?"
"Count me in too." Mei Fang reminded from the side, and was lectured by Xia Yuan.
"What do you want to do... You're just here to keep us company."
Everyone had a lot of money in their pockets after the Chinese New Year, and Lin Youxi also had her own small wallet instead of putting the money directly into her pocket.
This wallet was a gift Xia Yuan gave her before.
The hair ornament Xia Yuan wore today was also a gift from Lin Youxi.
Both of them have many traces left by each other, and they are best friends with a very good relationship.
Xia Yuan took the shopping receipt and checked the bill. "Today I spent a total of 103 yuan. Just give me 50 yuan."
Lin Youxi frowned slightly after hearing this.
"You didn't include the money for the small clothes?"
"Forget it, why didn't you count it? Then let me take another look at the receipt..."
"Yuanyuan, don't be like this."
Lin Youxi showed a distressed expression, "I have money now, so don't always take special care of me."
"Haha, no no, I really did miscalculate, I'm not good at math, please forgive me!"
Xia Yuan recalculated it again, "The total is 140, give me 70."
"for you."
Lin Youxi handed the money to Xia Yuan, who said with a smile, "Come to my house later to do your winter vacation homework. I can turn on the heating at home."
"Okay, I'll go back and bring my homework with me. I probably only need two Chinese papers left."
As soon as Lin Youxi finished speaking, Xia Yuan quickly added, "Bring the math students too!"
Xia Yuan said seriously, "I want to learn!"
"Then why don't you just look at Ah Fang's? He's pretty good at math."
When the puzzled Lin Youxi mentioned this, Xia Yuan became very angry, "He filled in all his winter and summer homework randomly! He didn't do it seriously at all."
"Why are you taking your winter vacation homework so seriously without checking or explaining it?"
"It's because you don't study hard that you are now overtaken by Li Jialun in the class."
Xia Yuan recounted Mei Fang's glorious past, "You always took first place in every exam before the fourth grade, but now you sometimes fall out of the top five, and that's because your study attitude is not right now."
"People's learning ability has its limits, so that's enough."
"You're the only one who can say that!"
Xia Yuan made faces at Mei Fang to show his disgust for him.
In his previous life, Mei Fang was in the upper-middle class in his class at the beginning. However, he became addicted to playing games in high school and ended up only being admitted to a second-tier university in Jiangcheng. Although he had extensive gaming experience and technical skills, he had no chance of joining large companies like Tencent and Goose, which had high academic requirements.
Although you don't need to work in this life, you still need to have a good academic degree so that you can meet more powerful people.
So even though Mei Fang said that he was almost there, he had been studying hard.
At this time, Lin Youxi noticed the bag Mei Fang was holding.
"Ah Fang, please carry this bag for me. You've been carrying it for us all the way."
“This is very heavy.”
"It's okay." Lin Youxi took the bag directly from Mei Fang.
"Then let me carry the bags here! Ah Fang has worked hard today."
Xia Yuan patted him on the head the same way Mei Fang had patted him before.
"Then I have nothing to do!"
Xia Yuan gave the pig doll to Mei Fang.
After the three of them parted near their home, they went home to get their schoolbags, and then gathered at Xia Yuan's house to do their homework.
The second semester of the sixth grade will begin in a week. The entrance exam to junior high school has become the most discussed topic among the three of them this year. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi both hope to be assigned to the same class.
"There are 13 classes in one grade in Experimental Middle School. It's not easy to group them together." Mei Fang yawned while spinning his pen in boredom.
"As long as you work hard to get the top scores, you won't be in Class 13, but Class 6." Xia Yuan encouraged Mei Fang, "You and Youxi have such good grades, don't worry."
"Aren't you doing fine too?" Lin Youxi asked puzzled.
Xia Yuan shook her head, looking frustrated. "Math is really difficult."
Xia Yuan's elementary school grades were excellent until the fourth grade, and she was always in the top ten in the class. But after the fourth grade, the difficulty of mathematics increased dramatically, and Xia Yuan could no longer maintain a stable top ten ranking, often falling to the top ten or even the twenties.
"My mother told me that junior high school students have to learn physics, biology, and chemistry. If I become a bad student—"
Xia Yuan started drawing circles on the draft paper again.
"Will you look down on me and stop playing with me?"
"Why are you still saying such childish things now that you are in the sixth grade of elementary school?"
Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's cheek and said, "Silly girl, even if you are ranked last, we will still accompany you."
"Ah Fang, you are so annoying! How can you not wish for the best for your friends? And, and, are you copying Youxi's winter vacation homework?"
Xia Yuan caught Mei Fang in the act, "Just wait, I'm going to tell my mom!"
"If you tell Teacher Yu, I really won't play with you anymore!"
Mei Fang cares very much about Teacher Yu's evaluation.
"My mother is more important than me, right? You stinky Ah Fang! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's cheek angrily and called Lin Youxi to come over to help. Lin Youxi had been eager to try, but Mei Fang was pinned down by the two girls in a few seconds.
"Okay, okay... I surrender. I surrender, okay? I won't copy anymore."
"That's more like it."
When Mei Fang and Lin Youxi came out of Xia Yuan's house, it was already getting dark.
"Will you come to my house for dinner today?"
Lin Youxi shook her head. "No, my dad will be back later and I have to help him cook."
"You still want to work on the construction site in such a cold day?"
"Dad said the equipment was damaged by the freezing weather and he has been repairing it all day. We can't let him go hungry when he comes back."
What a sensible child...
Compared to the frozen dumplings she made before, Lin Youxi can really cook now. She learned a little from Xiang Xiaoxia and can cook a few home-cooked dishes.
Mei Fang stretched his body and said, "I wonder how my father is doing in Baizhou City."
"You should also remember to call him more often. It's not easy for Uncle Mei to be out there alone. Do you hear me?"
Mei Fang hummed a few times and then sighed, "Oh, it would be great if you could be so firm in front of Yuanyuan."
Lin Youxi pinched Mei Fang's waist angrily and said, "Stop caring about what I say."
"I wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, but I didn't feel anything at all."
"Then... like this!"
Lin Youxi grabbed Mei Fang's clothes and thrust his hand into her belly.
"Oh shit, this is so cold, so cold, so cold!"
Mei Fang was so excited by Lin Youxi's teasing that she jumped up and down.
The two played on the road for a while, and when it was time to part, Lin Youxi called Mei Fang and gave her his winter math homework.
"Ah...can you copy it for me?"
Lin Youxi nodded, turned her head away and whispered, "You can't tell Yuanyuan that it was me who gave it to you."
"Great! Youxi, you are so nice to me."
"You can only refer to the homework, but you can't cheat in the exam. If you do that, I will look down on you." Lin Youxi added.
"I won't cheat, don't worry." Mei Fang nodded, "I will take the exam honestly."
"Oh, there's one more thing."
Lin Youxi pulled her hair and thought for a while, "I plan to make some money by playing games or writing code in my free time. Do you have any recommendations?"
Oops, I pressed the wrong button and published it without selecting anything.
