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

Chapter 103 : Girls’ Conversation

In the Advanced Class, the note battle between Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue continued.

【Mei Fang and Yuan Yuan are learning how to play guitar together!】

【Mei Fang is also coding with Youxi!】

【Mei Fang taught Yuan Yuan how to skate!】

【Mei Fang encouraged Youxi to run for class monitor!】

【When Yuan Yuan ran away from home when she was little, Mei Fang ran with her to Jiangcheng!】

【When Youxi wanted to give her father a gift, Mei Fang helped her come up with ideas and took action together!】

【If you ship Mei Fang with Lin Youxi, it’s a lost cause!】

【If you ship Mei Fang with Xia Yuan, it’s not going to happen!】

The notes exchanged between Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi were entangled in a single piece of paper, making it difficult to decipher.

【Let’s not just talk about what Mei Fang did together with them, let’s talk more about their feelings towards Mei Fang. Can Youxi publicly call him ‘Ah Fang’ like Yuan Yuan always does? Can she do that?】

【Xia Yuan’s personality is just like that! Youxi is cold towards everyone in the class, except for Mei Fang, whom she treats warmly and tenderly!】

【For example?】

【For example, when talking to others, she maintains a certain distance, but when talking to Mei Fang, she touches him and whispers to him, sometimes turning it into secretive conversations!】

【When Yuan Yuan was falsely accused before, it was Mei Fang who stood up for her, and of course, indirectly stood up for me too!】

【Don’t include yourself in this, and besides Youxi also played a significant role in that matter. It was all thanks to her taking charge, okay?】

Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi filled the paper with dense writing. After their banter reached a point where they had no more space to write, both Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue deeply realized the profound bond between Xia Yuan, Lin You Xi, and Mei Fang.

So, Yue Xinyi wrote another note to Peng Xue.

【Mei Fang is such a scoundrel.】

Peng Xue quickly replied:
【Couldn’t agree more. =.=】

Suddenly, Mei Fang sneezed loudly. Since he didn’t have time to cover his mouth with a tissue, he sneezed towards Zhang Ming’s direction, earning a look of disgust from him.

Seeing this, Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Although they had never spoken before and had no interaction, they suddenly felt a sense of affinity, forming a high level of understanding.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had already noticed the commotion at the back. During the 10-minute break, Xia Yuan turned around to ask the two.

“You two aren’t paying attention in class. What are you doing at the back? Passing notes? What are you chatting about?”

“We’re chatting about… about…”

Yue Xinyi and Peng Xue exchanged a glance, and Peng Xue spoke first, “We’re talking about the type of boys we like!”

“You’re already discussing such personal topics right after meeting each other! You two…”

Xia Yuan had actually wanted to get to know Yue Xinyi for a long time. Yue Xinyi had been classmates with Lin Youxi since elementary school, and they were even currently desk mates. It was a good opportunity to get to know her, but Lin Youxi never introduced her friend to Xia Yuan, which made Xia Yuan feel awkward when she only introduced Peng Xue.

“You’re Yue Xinyi, right? I’m Xia Yuan, a childhood friend of Ah Fang and Youxi. We’ve known each other since kindergarten!”

“Um… Hello, hello.”

She said Mei Fang’s name first, right?

As a class representative for the Chinese class, Yue Xinyi was particularly sensitive to the arrangement of words.

Although Xia Yuan seems closer to Youxi now, she definitely has more affection for Mei Fang in her heart.

But speculating about other people’s thoughts like this is not something I usually do…

Yue Xinyi suspected that she might be going crazy and obsessively against Xia Yuan.

“Continue your conversation! I want to join in too!” Xia Yuan propped her chin and swayed her head. “What kind of boys does Xinyi like?”

M-m-m-m-me!? She’s just too cute! Wahhh!
Yue Xinyi couldn’t resist cute things.

If it weren’t for being a major obstacle on the “FangXi” ship, her impression of Xia Yuan would actually be much better. Xia Yuan’s act of standing up to defend Peng Xue caused quite a stir in the school, and many people aspired to be friends with her.

“I… I like someone with a cheerful personality, taller, like an older brother next door, with a very bright and sunny smile.” Yue Xinyi revealed a dreamy smile, which made Lin Youxi shake her head beside her.

“Indeed… girls really like cheerful older brothers.”

Xia Yuan nodded with a smile, but all she could think of was Mei Fang’s figure.

Cheerful personality—Ah Fang likes to tease me;

Taller—Ah Fang is taller than me;

Older brother next door—Ah Fang lives next door to us;

Bright and sunny smile—Ah Fang’s smile is very gentle.

“What about Xiaoxue? What kind of boys do you like?”

“Hmmm… me?”

Peng Xue thought for a moment and said, “I prefer a cuter type, not too much taller than me. It’s okay if he’s a bit shorter than me, looking fierce but cute, but will stand up for me when it matters, and have a rebellious side that I don’t know about.”

Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, “A little cutie indeed! That’s great!”

Xia Yuan then started to imagine:

Cute—Ah Fang is very cute;

Not too much taller—Ah Fang is just a little taller than me;

Fierce but cute—When Ah Fang gets angry and pinches me, he looks just like that;

Stands up for me when it matters—Not to mention the incident when we ran away from home and encountered a bad uncle;

Rebellious side—Ah Fang is a skater boy and has a wild dream to perform on stage.

This Xiaoxue… why is she still so obsessed with our Ah Fang…

But our Ah Fang is indeed really outstanding. There’s nothing we can do about it!

After Xia Yuan expressed her agreement, the conversation abruptly came to a pause because the two had no follow-up. However, Yue Xinyi felt that she couldn’t miss this opportunity to lay her cards on the table. She quickly turned to Lin Youxi, “Youxi, what do you think——”

“Ah!” Yue Xinyi quickly covered her mouth, “I can’t call you that, can I?”

“What’s the problem with that? Just call me whatever you like.”

Listening to Lin Youxi’s casual response, Yue Xinyi suddenly felt regretful, thinking:

If I had known about Youxi’s attitude, I would have approached her earlier.

“So, what kind of boys do you like, Youxi?”

“Um…”

Lin Youxi was about to speak when Xia Yuan suddenly interrupted, putting her arm around Lin Youxi’s shoulder, “No need to ask! Youxi definitely likes the same type of boys as me, like Ah Fang, right? Haha!”

Her cheerful laughter created a smooth transition, so natural that the other three girls didn’t know how to respond after hearing what she said. Even Xia Yuan herself seemed a bit stunned after speaking, and her cheeks began to blush.

W-w-w-why did I suddenly say something like that!?
Who brought up this topic in the first place!?

Just as Xia Yuan was feeling embarrassed and at a loss, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

“Yuan Yuan, can you help me out?”

Xia Yuan was startled by Mei Fang’s sudden tap on her shoulder. She turned to look at Mei Fang, who seemed unaware of the previous conversation.

“W-what do you need help with?”

“It’s this…”

Mei Fang and Zhang Ming each held a shiny and brand-new physics textbook in their hands, supported only by three fingers.

“I’m going to have a competition with Zhang Ming to see who is the best at book spinning. Who wants to help us judge?”

“What’s the point of competing for that?”

Zhang Ming sneered at Mei Fang, with a look of arrogance, “Mei Fang, you may be good at pen spinning, but when it comes to book spinning, I have always been the best in the class since I was a child. No one can beat me!”

“If you’re so unbeatable, why are you afraid to compete with me?”

“Find someone else to be the judge otherwise, it’s not fair.” Zhang Ming was not stupid. He could tell that Xia Yuan was biased towards Mei Fang. He thought Xia Yuan would lean towards Mei Fang and let him win.

Of course, there was also a small possibility for Xia Yuan to intentionally rule against Mei Fang, but that would defeat the purpose of fair competition.

Boring! I want to have a real showdown!

Mei Fang thought for a moment and pointed to Yue Xinyi, “If you think Xia Yuan is not suitable, then let our Chinese class representative be the judge, okay?”

“No thanks…” Yue Xinyi waved her hand dismissively, a look of disdain evident on her face.

“I heard that stupidity is contagious, and I don’t want to become dumb like you guys.”

“How about me!?” Peng Xue happily raised her hand, “I’ll be the referee for both of you in book spinning, and I’ll ensure fairness and justice!”

Peng Xue and Yue Xinyi swapped seats and came behind Mei Fang and Zhang Ming, preparing to time the two of them as a judge.

“Let me see… We’ll be scoring based on three criteria: duration, aesthetic appeal, and difficulty of the techniques, is that okay?” Peng Xue said.

“Not bad, not bad at all.” The book in Zhang Ming’s hand spun rapidly, creating a gust of wind. He nodded at Peng Xue and said, “It seems that you are indeed a professional in book spinning business.”

“Mei Fang, Zhang Ming, can you guys stop playing such childish things? It’s really boring. And Peng Xue, why are you getting involved…” Yue Xinyi said disdainfully.

“Hahaha, it’s just for fun, it’s interesting, what’s wrong with that.”

As everyone was joking around, Xia Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the topic has shifted…

She looked towards Lin Youxi beside her, who had a distracted expression.

Probably noticing Xia Yuan looking at her, Lin Youxi turned to her, and as their eyes met, they both giggled in unison, as if they understood each other.

Just now, Youxi didn’t… refute what I said, did she?
Xia Yuan pondered silently.
