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

Chapter 14: Enrollment Plan

As the summer vacation came to an end, Xia Yuan gradually returned to her usual self. In preparation for becoming elementary school students, every household began to prepare new stationery for their children. Mei Lijun also bought new equipment for their long-term stay at home.

Ding ding ding! Son, look! What did your great dad buy for you?

Isnt it just a school bag?

Mei Fangs expression was indifferent.

Hey, son, what kind of expression is that? Be more excited!

Mei Lijun emphasized with a look of grievance, This is the latest and most popular Ultraman Tiga school bag. Its the dream bag of thousands of elementary school students. If you carry this bag to school, you will definitely be the coolest kid in the class!

So, dad, do you believe that you can also turn into light?

Huh? What do you mean by turning into light? Do you want the magic light stick^[1] too?

You see, you dont even watch Ultraman Tiga yourself, yet you pretend to understand me.

What? Ive already watched up to episode 30 of Ultraman Tiga. How would I know what you mean by turning into light?

Oh crap! It turns out that Ultraman Tiga hasnt reached its finale on TV yet.

But isnt this a very old show? It should have finished airing a long time ago

To avoid too much suspicion, Mei Fang didnt have any particularly unique personal interests and hobbies. Whatever the kids nowadays liked, he pretended to like as well. Besides, he did enjoy these things back in the day.

Four-wheel Drive Brothers, Dragon Warriors^[2], Digimon. These animated shows could openly appear on various local TV stations during the prime time slot in 2002. Mei Fang was also grateful to have such a rich childhood, and rewatching them now would indeed bring different feelings.

What was more impressive was the local TV station in Baimei County. It even dared to broadcast more adult-oriented shows like Meow Eye Sisters^[3] and Incredible Competition^[4]. For children of Mei Fangs age, it was still too early to understand what they were doing in the plot.

Of course, most of the time, the children just watched for fun.

Mei Lijun was just about to mention that they hadnt seen Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi for a while when they received a call from Xia Yuan.

Hello, is this the Mei Fang residence?

Hello, hello Is this Xia Yuan?

Hello, Uncle Mei! I wanted to ask if Mei Fang is home?

He is. Do you want to come over to our house?

Yes, if its okay, I would like to come.

Ill have Mei Fang come down to pick you up.

No need, no need. I can come by myself. Thank you, Uncle Mei!

Mei Lijun hung up the phone and clicked his tongue at Mei Fang, who was lying on the sofa watching TV. You little rascal, Ive noticed. Ever since that bedwetting incident, youve become quite popular. Today its Xia Yuan, and tomorrow its Lin Youxi. Why do these two girls like to play with you so much? Who do you prefer to play with?

How would I know.

Mei Fang didnt pay much attention to Mei Lijun and continued to peel and eat oranges by himself.

Im going out to see if there are any cards to play. Dont let Xia Yuan play on the computer at home, dont corrupt her.

Okay.

Just as Mei Lijun had left, Xia Yuan bounced out from the open door.ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

Hello, Uncle Mei Im here to bother you!

Xia Yuan looked around.

Huh wheres Uncle Mei?

He went to play cards.

Xia Yuan looked disappointed. She shook the bottle of wine in her hand and gently placed it on the coffee table. My dad asked me to bring a bottle of red wine and give it to Uncle Mei in person.

Huh? Why did he ask you to bring wine?

The 2002 Baimei County red wine and white wine were rare items, although their taste wasnt particularly great, they still carried a certain reputation.

Xia Yuans dad ran a restaurant business and they had quite a few bottles of this kind of wine at home.

My dad said that I always go to your house to play and eat and drink for free, so occasionally I should bring something over.

Xia Yuan scratched her head shyly. But in my opinion, Aunt Meis cooking is indeed much better than my moms, hehe.

Thats the truth. My moms cooking is really good.

By the way, dont tell my mom about this, I dont want her to be sad.

I know, I know.

Although she was just a child, she was already at the age where she pretty much understood everything.

After saying that, Xia Yuan suddenly turned her back to Mei Fang and said, Look at this, Mei Fang! My elementary school backpack! My dad had someone buy it for me from Shanghai.

Oh, its Sakura Kinomotos^[5] backpack

This backpack also came with a sealing key^[6] for me. Come and take a look, dont just sit there.

Mei Fang made a pained expression. Im currently sealed by the sofa card, I cant get up.

Xia Yuan immediately became excited after hearing that. She walked to Mei Fang, who was slumped on the sofa, tightly gripping the key, closed her eyes, and began to recite an incantation and pose:

Oh key which hides the powers of the dark, Reveal your true form before me.

I, Xia Yuan, who made a pact with you, commands you, SEALRELEASE!^[7]

Xia Yuan opened her eyes and saw that Mei Fang was still sitting there. She immediately pouted and said, Youre a big stupid pig, youre not cooperating at all.

Dont be mad, come and eat an orange.

Mei Fang peeled a small segment of the orange and brought it to Xia Yuans mouth. She didnt resist and ate it with small bites.

Its so sweet!

It tastes good, right?

Xia Yuan nodded and sat on the sofa next to Mei Fang. Mei Fang finally sat up and continued to peel oranges, occasionally feeding some to Xia Yuan.

The two of them were casually watching TV when Xia Yuan suddenly turned around to talk to Mei Fang.

By the way, Mei Fang I want to discuss something with you.

Um What is it?

I was thinking, since we both attend the same kindergarten, should you and Lin Youxi also talk to your parents and attend the audio-visual class together?

What is an audio-visual class? Im not quite sure.

Mei Fang pretended not to understand and asked, and Xia Yuan explained it to him since she knew a little.

The audio-visual class is a special teaching mode implemented by the primary school in the past two years. The classroom is located in the comprehensive building, with fewer students and multimedia classrooms for teaching, equipped with air conditioning.

In other words, it is an elite class that takes advantage of the nine-year compulsory education loophole.

After all, the annual tuition fee is an additional 5,000 yuan, which is not a small expense.

When Mei Fang was in elementary school, there were a maximum of 91 students in a class. He guaranteed that he wouldnt remember this number wrong because he always remembered the difficult situation of taking out his textbook while sitting in the last row.

So, if they could attend the audio-visual class, their elementary school experience would naturally be much better.

However, Mei Fang didnt have the intention to attend the audio-visual class.

Because he clearly remembered that in this year, something unfortunate happened in the audio-visual class when he was in fourth grade.

The homeroom teacher of the audio-visual class and her family, due to her husbands failed investment and resulting debts in the millions, ultimately chose to take their own lives in the depths of prolonged despair.

This even included their daughter.

It was the most heartbreaking topic at that time.

Lets not go Mei Fang shook his head. I think there are too many rich people in that class. Our family, like Lin Youxi and me, will definitely be discriminated against if we go.

Its not as exaggerated as you think. Everyone wont be so fond of comparing. And, and, if we go to the audio-visual class, we will definitely be in the same class!

There are a total of six regular classes in the elementary school, but only one audio-visual class.

If they choose the audio-visual class, they can indeed ensure that they will spend their elementary school life together with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

Since you hope so much for us to attend the audio-visual class with you, is there any other reason?

Xia Yuan nodded. In that case, Ill tell you another secret! Actually, my mom is the homeroom teacher of the experimental elementary schools audio-visual class this year!

Mei Fang, who had been relaxed and leisurely, suddenly felt something heavy falling in his heart.

The familiar memory when he first met Xia Yuans mother, as well as the impression of the homeroom teacher of the audio-visual class in his childhood at school.

Now, everything finally connected.
