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

Chapter 102 : Passing Notes

The Advanced Class that started in the second year of middle school, also known as the “Gifted Class” by the school, consisted of 2 classes composed of the top 130 students in the entire grade. In theory, the top 10 students in each class had the opportunity to participate in this class. However, as mentioned earlier, the school was divided into Class A and Class B, with the teaching level of Class A teachers and the students’ entrance exam scores being much higher than those of Class B. As a result, the top 130 students were essentially in Class A, with 16 and 13 students from Class 8 and Class 9, respectively, participating in this Advanced Class.

The Advanced Class started at 7:10 in the evening and lasted until 8:30, mainly focusing on Chinese, math, English, and physics.

Although biology was a subject that started in the first year of middle school, it was currently considered a minor subject, similar to politics, history, and geography of liberal arts. It was a minor subject within the science category, with a relatively low proportion in the high school entrance exam. There was no need to specifically focus on it.

As for the location of the Advanced Class, it was set in specific classrooms, with Advanced Class 1 in Room 8 (Class 8’s room) and Advanced Class 2 in Room 13.

Since Class 8 was Xia Yuan’s home turf, she quickly reserved seats for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi right after class. When most of the students from Class 8 had left, they entered the classroom and saw Xia Yuan waving enthusiastically at them.

“Youxi, Ah Fang, come sit here!”

It was only Xia Yuan who would openly use nicknames in front of everyone. After all, most friends, no matter how close, would only call each other by their full names or some teasing nicknames such as “Dummy”, “Dog”, etc. So when Xia Yuan called out their names, everyone couldn’t help but look at Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. Mei Fang felt a little embarrassed but also a bit proud, and followed Xia Yuan to the designated spot.

“Youxi, come, sit here with me. Let’s sit together!”

Xia Yuan first pulled Lin Youxi to sit by the desk next to her original seat, and Lin Youxi realized something was wrong as soon as she sat down.

“Isn’t this Peng Xue’s seat?”

“Hello hello, Youxi-chan!”

Peng Xue poked Lin Youxi’s arm from behind. “I didn’t expect us to be front and back rows seatmates. What a wonderful fate! You know, Yuan Yuan asked me for a long time before I agreed to let you sit there.”

Perhaps to repay the principal’s care for her, or to redeem herself from the past embarrassment, Peng Xue became much more serious after the incident. She focused all her energy on studying and made great progress. As a result, she also ranked in the top 100 in the mid-term exam for the entire grade and earned the qualification to enter the Advanced Class.

Mei Fang watched the girls sticking together and thought that he might not be suitable to be too close to Xia Yuan in such a school setting. Just as he was about to find a seat by the window, Xia Yuan waved at him again.

“Ah Fang, where are you going? Come here! Sit here!”

Xia Yuan, sitting in the third column, deliberately reserved a seat in the second column for Mei Fang next to her. Mei Fang saw Zhang Ming walking over from his class and invited him to sit with him.

Yue Xinyi arrived late and looked around the classroom. She found that the seats were already taken, and her usual desk mate, Lin Youxi, was sitting with her friend Xia Yuan.

If it were Mei Fang, I could accept it…

But don’t I look very pitiful like this…

Noticing her helpless deskmate at the classroom door, Lin Youxi immediately waved and called Yue Xinyi over.

“There’s a seat behind, come sit here.”

“Uh… okay.”

If the girl sitting next to her wasn’t the famous Peng Xue, Yue Xinyi might not have hesitated.

Peng Xue had gained some reputation among male and female students for her trendy style and her history of clashing with her homeroom teacher. Yue Xinyi subconsciously thought of her as a delinquent girl.

She felt a bit uncomfortable.

Ah, Lin Youxi is really disappointing. It was clearly an opportunity for her to sit next to Mei Fang, but she just gave it away to Xia Yuan like that.

I’m so frustrated!

“Yo.”

Peng Xue greeted Yue Xinyi, “I recognize you, you often have meals with Youxi, right?”

“Uh… I’m her desk mate.”

Yue Xinyi nodded in confusion, wondering why Peng Xue could call Lin Youxi by her name so affectionately, while she only called her Class Monitor.

“Do you… get along well with our Class Monitor?”

“Um… I think so! We often go out together, shop together, play games together, and roller skate together.”

“I never expected our class monitor to have such a close relationship with you! I thought she didn’t do these kinds of things!”

Lin Youxi heard the conversation, glanced at Peng Xue, and thought that she wasn’t entirely wrong, so she didn’t respond.

“Haha…”

Peng Xue saw through Yue Xinyi’s thoughts, “Since you’ve always been desk mates with Youxi, I thought you would get along well. So you’ve never done these things together, huh?”

“We…we have a higher level of camaraderie!”

Yue Xinyi blushed and refuted Peng Xue, at least the secret of her and Lin Youxi’s novel was known only to them.

“What camaraderie? Share it with me.”

“Oh… be quiet, the teacher is coming.”

Yue Xinyi gestured to Peng Xue to be silent.

It’s been almost two years since Xia Yuan and Mei Fang sat close together again. However, she didn’t show her excitement to Mei Fang. Instead, she focused more on being close to Lin Youxi.

The content taught in the Advanced Class was more competition-oriented and challenging. Everyone listened attentively, and Xia Yuan diligently took notes. However, she would occasionally sneak a glance at Mei Fang. With Mei Fang’s seat position, Xia Yuan could see him with just a slight turn of her head.

The two would exchange glances from time to time. At first, it was a calm and silent exchange, but later, when Xia Yuan turned her head, Mei Fang would make a funny face at her, almost making Xia Yuan burst into laughter on the spot. In the end, she either had to stifle her laughter or reach out to pinch Mei Fang’s thigh or arm.

Wow!

Although I feel a little sorry for Youxi to say this, the interaction between Xia Yuan and Mei Fang is really sweet!

But I have already decided to stand by Youxi’s side. How could I betray her now?

Watching the sweet interaction between Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, Yue Xinyi’s heart was in turmoil, feeling as if ants were crawling all over her.

It’s impossible to study properly now…

Seeing Yue Xinyi’s “painful” expression, her deskmate Peng Xue found it quite interesting. So, she buried her head in her notebook, wrote a note, tore it off, and handed it to Yue Xinyi.

Yue Xinyi snapped out of her ant-induced pain and took the small note passed to her by Peng Xue.

【Don’t you think that Yuan Yuan and Mei Fang are a perfect match? They look like a cute couple in love, teasing each other, don’t they?】

Peng Xue invited Yue Xinyi to join the “YuanDang” ship. After reading the note, Yue Xinyi’s expression suddenly became calm.

Then, Peng Xue received a reply from Yue Xinyi.

【I don’t think so! In my opinion, Mei Fang and our Class Monitor Youxi are the perfect match, a match made in heaven!】

Peng Xue was a little surprised after reading the note, but quickly returned to her usual playful fox-like smile. She lowered her head and continued writing to the note to pass back.

It seemed like a big ship war was inevitable.
