Mei Fang deliberately looked at Xia Yuan's reaction. She seemed a little nervous, her face was red and she kept avoiding eyes.
"However, compared to our Yuanyuan, how should I put it... there is basically no comparison."
Mei Fang gently patted Xia Yuan's head and said, "Our Yuan Yuan is the cutest in the world."
"What do you mean by your family? Your family! Aren't you ashamed?"
Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's hand in the warm baby, "If she still wants to go with us after self-study, I will say that I don't want to... Okay, that's it!"
Gee...
You even came to me to discuss how to explain this matter to Peng Xue. Haven't you already thought of the solution?
However, Mei Fang's self-sacrifice this time made Xia Yuan completely determined to refuse Peng Xue from becoming his companion when he returned home after self-study.
Just when Mei Fang was feeling smug about his genius, Xia Yuan suddenly pulled his hand out of the heat pack and hugged his arm while shivering, looking weak and powerless. "Wow, it's so cold, is there any kindhearted person who can have mercy on me?"
This girl was suddenly possessed by a spirit of drama...
She should really be sent to become an art student!
So Mei Fang cooperated and stood up to hug Xia Yuan.
"Is it warm now? My Miss Xia..."
"Hmm...it doesn't seem like there's anything special about hugging like this in the winter."
Xia Yuan hummed, "Let's try again next summer."
"Next summer..."
"What's the matter? You don't want to."
"No. How could it be possible?"
"Fang, you have to promise me something. Um...it's a promise between childhood sweethearts."
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"It's just... I think we should focus on studying and not think about random things, like getting too close to girls. What do you think?"
"So what we are doing now, does it count as——"
"We are childhood sweethearts, so it's okay to hug."
Mei Fang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Then... you have to abide by this agreement as well."
Mei Fang said softly, "We must study hard together and get admitted to Baimei No. 1 Middle School together."
"Yeah, of course!"
Xia Yuan leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder, squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly: "I will try my best and do my best."
"We must strive to get into the same class this time. Um... the three of us, together with Youxi."
After meeting Peng Xue, Mei Fang would go along to any event that Xia Yuan invited Peng Xue to participate in.
Because of the psychological preparation Mei Fang had given Xia Yuan before, Xia Yuan always kept a close eye on Mei Fang during the trip, not giving Peng Xue and Mei Fang any chance to be alone together.
As for Mei Fang, based on her current understanding of Peng Xue, she is still just a little girl who simply likes to dress fashionably, although she always has some miscellaneous and precocious thoughts.
I don’t know if she was influenced by Xia Yuan, but she is also very serious about studying and attaches great importance to test results.
At first, Mei Fang was worried that his son Xia Yuan would be led astray by Peng Xue, but in fact, he might have underestimated the influence of Yuan Yuan herself. Her smile could really affect the people around her.
Looking back now, perhaps the reason why Peng Xue in her previous life ended up being a rebellious and bad girl who fought, dropped out of school and transferred to another school was due to a combination of factors including her family, school, and friends around her.
At that time, Mei Fang was neither Peng Xue's friend nor did she understand her inner thoughts. She was just a bystander of the incident.
However, if someone had been able to pull her out of the abyss she was in, perhaps she would not have fallen to that point.
Of course, it is too early to fully judge Peng Xue's character.
But for Mei Fang, it is time to relax their guard against her a little.
The year 2008 came to an end in an ordinary life.
After experiencing the last winter snow of 08, everyone braved the severe cold to complete the last journey of the first semester. All three of them received satisfactory results in the final exams.
With the arrival of the first winter vacation, the 2009 Lunar New Year will be here in less than four or five days.
And for Lin Youxi, this will surely be an unforgettable New Year memory.
Chapter 079 Meiya's Homework
Since elementary school, Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan have had the habit of celebrating each other's birthdays together.
However, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang's birthdays are relatively close according to the Gregorian calendar, and both of their birthdays are in February. In order to stagger their birthday celebrations, Mei Fang will only celebrate her lunar birthday.
However, Mei Fang's official lunar birthday is on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is New Year's Eve, so he always moves his birthday forward a few days to celebrate whenever it is suitable.
This year, he and Xia Yuanlin and Youxi decided to celebrate their birthdays together on the day of the Little New Year.
Xia Yuan has also been worrying about Mei Fang's birthday gift these days.
"Fang, what birthday present do you want this year? I feel like I've already given you everything I can in previous years. Piggy banks, wind chimes, mugs, gloves, um... since you're in middle school, how about something different?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't send it... I don't care about this."
"That won't do! We give it away every year, so how can we not give it away this year?"
Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's shoulders and said, "How about...giving you a scarf?"
"A scarf? Youxi told me yesterday that she was planning to give me this..."
"Youxi actually got there first!"
Xia Yuan was a little annoyed. "I forgot to ask her when I was playing games with her yesterday. It turns out that she had already thought of what to give her and didn't even tell me..."
"If you really want to give me one, I don't mind having too many scarves." Mei Fangzheng was concentrating on writing code. "I need to change and wash them anyway."
"So... did you wear mine first or Youxi's?"
"..."
Mei Fang was silent for a while, "I'll wear whichever one looks better first."
"You rascal, you're dreaming!"
Xia Yuan waved his hand knife and hit Mei Fang's head. "I'm telling you... don't look at these dense codes today. It's a holiday and you're still looking at this. It's so boring. Wait until Xiaoya finishes her homework and Youxi comes over after dinner, and the four of us will play Monopoly together."
"Then you probably can't be counted on."
Mei Fang shook her head. "She definitely won't finish her homework today. My mom said she won't let her play with us if she doesn't finish her homework."
"How is that possible? I just looked at Xiaoya's winter vacation homework today. She only has two pages of math left to do. Just a few connect-the-dots and arithmetic problems. She finished them in a short while. They seem to be memorizing multiplication tables right now. Why is there so much pressure on second graders?"
Shila-
Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were discussing when they heard the sound of paper tearing coming from the living room.
"You have so much confidence in Xiaoya, why not go and see what she is doing now."
"..."
Xia Yuan walked out of the study half-believingly and went to the living room to find Mei Ya. He found that Mei Ya was rubbing her hair repeatedly with a ruler. When she saw Xia Yuan appear, she waved to Xia Yuan happily.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you must never tell anyone else - actually, I'm a magician!"
Xia Yuan has always been very patient and caring towards her younger sister Mei Fang. Seeing that Mei Ya was in high spirits, she also came up to her with a smile, "Wow, Xiao Ya, are you so amazing? Can you show it to Sister Yuan Yuan?"
"Watch out, I'll only perform once, don't let my brothers know."
Meiya held the ruler that she had used to rub her hair. "This is my super magic wand. As long as I inject magic power into it, it will be like this..."
Meiya extended the ruler to the scraps of paper on the coffee table, and all the scraps of paper were sucked up by the ruler.
"What a powerful magic." Xia Yuan applauded after watching it, "As expected of our Xiaoya, you are so amazing, you really are a magician!"
"Hahahaha!"
When Mei Ya heard Xia Yuan praising her like that, she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Sister Yuanyuan, you are so easily fooled! You actually believed that I was a magician. This is obviously a very common static electricity experiment. You must have learned it before. Didn't you pay attention in class?"
Xia Yuan was suddenly speechless and couldn't utter a word.
Am I not playing with you?
Xia Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Well, now that we have finished the experiment, can we do our homework now?"
Meiya shook her head. "This is also homework. It's our natural homework."
"Now there are winter vacation homework for science class? It's obviously a secondary class..."
"Don't listen to my sister's nonsense."
Mei Fang suddenly appeared and grabbed Mei Ya's ear. "You are willing to do everything except homework, right? I don't know who you look like... Well, your father."
"Brother Wuwu is so bad, Sister Yuanyuan, help me!"
"Let Xiaoya go quickly. You'll hurt him. Do you hear me?"
Xia Yuan hit Mei Fang a few times, and seeing that Mei Fang refused to let go, Xia Yuan grabbed Mei Fang's ears, and Mei Fang finally let go.
"I know you're always mean to your sister. You should guide her to do her homework properly."
"That's right, brother, stupid pig."
Mei Ya pulled her lower eyelids and made faces at Mei Fang. Mei Fang had an expression that was indifferent to life and death. "If she can't finish her homework, my mother will scold me as her brother for being irresponsible. Of course, I'm used to being scolded and don't want to work hard anymore."
"How can you be so impatient as a brother? Humph, let me tutor Xiaoya. I promise to make you obedient."
"Okay! Sister Yuanyuan will teach me how to study! Let's go inside and do our homework!"
Mei Ya took Xia Yuan's hand and ran to the bedroom where she was doing homework.
Then Mei Fang stretched out his body, found the remote control, turned on the TV, took out a few oranges from the refrigerator, covered himself with a thick blanket, and lay on the sofa on his side to watch TV.
The hit show on TV now is "Dancing Star". Although Mei Fang has watched it 100 times in his past and present lives, he still finds it very interesting even if he watches it 101 times.
An hour later, Mei Fang was almost falling asleep from waiting for the commercials when the bedroom door was finally opened.
"Brother! I've finished my homework!"
"Mei Fang, look!"
Mei Fang was woken up from his sleep by Xia Yuan and Mei Ya together.
