After a period of hectic days, Mei Fang and her classmates' junior high school life gradually stabilized. The usual morning reading time was 6:45, dinner was also eaten at school, and the evening self-study was 7:00. This evening self-study was cancelled a few years later due to the double reduction, and Mei Fang was unable to enjoy that time.
During this period, Lin Youxi was elected as temporary class monitor because of his outstanding ability to be commanded by the class teacher.
Whenever she was needed to maintain discipline during lunch break, she would sit at the podium and do her homework. If there were people whispering in the classroom, Lin Youxi would just look up and the classroom would quickly become quiet.
Not many people in the class knew Lin Youxi, and they seemed afraid to provoke this female academic bully who looked difficult to deal with.
The Experimental Middle School is now nearly 2 kilometers away from Mei Fang and her friends' homes. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to walk home, but taking the bus is faster.
However, the three of them still prefer to walk home so that they can have more time to chat together.
Xia Yuan was always interested in what happened between Lin Youxi and Mei Fang in class, but when asked about herself, she often showed little interest and evaded the question by saying that nothing interesting happened.
Although school ends very late, Mei Fang still goes to Xia Yuan's house to study in the evening. The place for studying has also been changed from their living room to Teacher Yu's study.
However, the two are not in the same class now, and their learning progress in various subjects is not synchronized, especially in mathematics. Sometimes, Mei Fang teaches Xia Yuan knowledge points that Xia Yuan has not learned in class, and it is very difficult for him to understand them by himself.
Finally, during a late night study session, Xia Yuan said something that Mei Fang thought would never come out of her mouth:
"School is so boring."
"… "
Mei Fang put down the pen in her hand and looked up at Xia Yuan, who was holding the pen with her upper lip. She was looking out the window with her chin in her hand, looking very melancholy.
"Ah Fang, tell me, why do we have to study?"
There is no point in answering this kind of question. Yuanyuan is not asking this at all.
"You are asking this question because you are unhappy in school. You loved studying so much in elementary school..."
Xia Yuan let the pen fall on the desk and hummed in dissatisfaction:
"I actually don't like studying at all. I just like playing."
"Who doesn't like to play? I also like to play games every day."
Mei Fang started working in education. "But only by studying hard can you get into a good high school, a good university, and find a job more easily. Even if you are not looking for a job, university life is so wonderful that it is still worth experiencing."
"You and Youxi are good students, and they will definitely be admitted to a good university."
Xia Yuanyi became even more anxious when talking about this. "I can't do it. I'm not smart. I always can't figure out the last few big math questions. In the end, I can only go to a second-tier or third-tier university."
"It's still early. If you study hard, you can catch up."
"But what if I can't keep up?"
"Um… "
Looking at Xia Yuan's aggrieved expression, Mei Fang sighed helplessly.
"Why don't we take a walk outside the community? You're under too much pressure..."
"good!"
Xia Yuan nodded in agreement without thinking.
Mei Fang could actually understand Xia Yuan's current mood.
She had always been an excellent student before graduating from elementary school. Everyone around her liked her, all the teachers in school were her acquaintances, and her family had money to spend freely. The only time she encountered setbacks, Mei Fang was always by her side, encouraging and taking care of her.
A girl like this, who is loved by everyone and has no idea what evil is in the world, naturally sees everything as very beautiful, which is why she has always been a little angel.
Now she is suddenly in a relatively unfamiliar learning environment, and all the previous preferential treatments are gone. It is very normal for her to feel pressure.
But Mei Fang thought this was a good thing.
Xia Yuan can't always be a flower in a greenhouse, which is very detrimental to the development of her character. This also gives her the opportunity to adapt, grow and gain experience.
Mei Fang and Xia Yuan were strolling around the neighborhood. Xia Yuan was walking on the steps on the edge of the building in a parallel line, with his hands stretched out to keep his balance, and his body swaying back and forth.
"Ah Fang, you know what? I didn't feel that way when I first graduated, but now that I'm in middle school, I really feel that life in elementary school was so wonderful."
"Of course, the study pressure is not that great, and the class time is short..."
“Not just those, either.”
Xia Yuan stopped and looked at Mei Fang beside him.
"Because at that time, I was sitting at the same table with my childhood sweetheart..."
Mei Fang didn't expect Xia Yuan to suddenly hit such a straight ball, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Xia Yuan still stood quietly on the stone steps and observed Mei Fang's reaction with a smile. When Mei Fang recovered and saw the pavilion in front, he made a suggestion:
"We've been walking for so long, shall we go sit over there?"
"OK!"
Xia Yuan skipped and followed Mei Fang to the pavilion and sat down. After sitting for a while, she stood in front of Mei Fang again.
"Afang, I want to sing."
"Just sing if you want to." Mei Fang smiled slightly, "I'll listen to you sing, what do you want to sing?"
"Hmm... Let me think about it!"
Xia Yuan did not tell Mei Fang the title of the song. After clearing his throat, he began to hum the prelude.
Will you remember tomorrow
[The diary you wrote yesterday]
Will you miss me tomorrow
[You who used to love crying the most]
[The teachers can no longer remember]
[You who can't guess the question]
[I also flipped through the photos by chance]
[I just remembered you, my deskmate]
Xia Yuan hummed with his head down at the beginning, but as he sang, he raised his head and looked at Mei Fang tenderly.
After noticing Xia Yuan's gaze, Mei Fang just raised her head, and Xia Yuan suddenly laughed while singing.
"You've made me sing out of tune! Why are you looking at me?"
"Why are you suddenly so sad? This song is for reminiscing about youth. You don't need to sing it at your age now."
I'm right next to you, really.
"Isn't it okay for me to sing? You said you wanted to sing, so you should sing. You liar, why do you control me every day?"
Xia Yuan laughed and played with Mei Fang for a while, then seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go home and continue studying.
Xia Yuan was in front and Mei Fang was behind. They walked and came to an intersection. On a bench on the side of the intersection, a young man and woman were snuggling sweetly together. Xia Yuan stopped when he approached them, and suddenly turned back as if stimulated. He trotted to the edge of the grass and pulled Mei Fang over.
Although the lights were dim in front, the postures of the two people could still be seen clearly.
While Xia Yuan was watching the two people under the light, she said to Mei Fang, "That's my neighbor's sister! Is she kissing her boyfriend?"
Mei Fang covered Xia Yuan's eyes to stop her from looking.
"Children can't watch this, go back quickly."
Xia Yuan was obviously a little unsatisfied, and Mei Fang pulled her for a long time before she moved.
Finally, she patted Mei Fang's shoulder with some curiosity: "Ah Fang, you say... Is kissing really that interesting?"
"How would I know? I should go back to study."
Although he had lived two lives, Mei Fang really didn't know this, and he had never kissed her.
Besides, Yuanyuan is still so young, and he can't lead Xia Yuan astray.
At this time, Xia Yuan was following behind Mei Fang.
She lowered her head, a blush on her face, and her mouth made unconscious smacking movements, while her mind was still recalling the scene she had just vaguely glimpsed.
