Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 108 : Come Over to Our Side

A day later, Class 9 rearranged their seating positions. i Fang and Lin Youxi remained in the sa group, so they were still seated close to each other. However, they swapped positions, with i Fang moving from the front row to the back row and Lin Youxi doing the opposite.

i Fang had gone through several changes of deskmates, mostly with boys who were good at studies but also loved to play. This ti, he was paired with a much quieter boy nad Tang Yu, who ca from the countryside to study in the county. He didn’t have any friends from elentary school in the class. He was always focused on studying and wasn’t interested in the boys’ gas.

As the number of desks increased, the new transfer students could only be inserted into the middle groups. Li Shibing adjusted the seating layout, changing the sequence of desks from 4 to 5 in the middle. Since the transfer students were not familiar with the environnt, Li Shibing made them sit in the middle seats to help them integrate quickly.

Coincidentally, Guo Yun was seated in the sa row as i Fang, with i Fang’s new desk partner, Tang Yu, in between them. However, she was considered part of the neighboring group led by Zhang Ming. On her left were two girls, also mbers of Zhang Ming’s group, Yu Lin and Li Danning.

Guo Yun was i Fang’s deskmate in his previous life during middle school. Due to being overweight and having many pimples on her face, she was often teased by so classmates and had few people willing to play with her.

i Fang’s relationship with Guo Yun was not particularly close in his previous life. Although they didn’t talk much, i Fang didn’t dislike her. At least, i Fang didn’t comnt on her body and appearance. He just interacted with her as a normal classmate. He even lent her money to buy lunch once, and Guo Yun later gave him an extra bottle of milk as a thank-you gift.

Guo Yun didn’t stay in the class for long and transferred out in the third year of middle school. Before leaving, she wrote a letter to i Fang, saying that he was the best friend she had in the class.

At that ti, i Fang was still a teenager with no feelings or concepts about relationships between boys and girls. He was solely focused on studying and playing gas. However, receiving that letter had a significant impact on him. After all, he didn’t think he had shown Guo Yun any special care, yet she considered him her best friend.

In this life, when i Fang t Guo Yun again, besides marveling at the wonder of fate, he also wondered if the reason Guo Yun left after just one sester was due to the psychological pressure of being ostracized in the class.

After all, their horoom teacher at that ti was Huang Lian, who was overly critical and always found faults in people. Although Guo Yun didn’t have any particular shortcomings that Huang Lian could criticize, i Fang still rembered that Huang Lian didn’t seem to like Guo Yun.

The difficulty of the physics subject in the second sester had started to increase rapidly. Xia Yuan felt dizzy from solving physics problems every day. Riding bicycles ho together and accompanying i Fang to push their bicycles back to the neighborhood were rare monts of relaxation for Xia Yuan. Now, i Fang, instead of going to Xia Yuan’s house to do howork, Xia Yuan would take him to the small pavilion in the community park to chat, and then naturally ask for an Ah Fang’s Super Energy.

i Fang was quite surprised by Xia Yuan’s rapid growth, considering she was still a 13 or 14-year-old child with seemingly limitless potential.

Although it was hinted to Xia Yuan that they were no longer children and should be a bit cautious about being too intimate, Xia Yuan seed completely oblivious or indifferent. Of course, i Fang couldn’t directly reject Xia Yuan’s friendly gestures either, as it was difficult for him to find the right balance.

“Physics is really difficult, Ah Fang…” Xia Yuan said with a pitiful look, “When I beco the Minister of Education in the future, I will definitely not let middle school students study physics.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. When you reach high school, it will be better. High school has separate classes for liberal arts and science subjects. You can go to the liberal arts class, as you are strong in politics, history, and geography. Then you can completely avoid this subject you dislike,” i Fang reassured her.

“Separate classes for liberal arts and science an we might not be in the sa class.” Xia Yuan raised her head and asked i Fang, “But Ah Fang, won’t you be studying science? I don’t want to be separated from you.”

Now, Xia Yuan had started to intentionally or unintentionally throw so hints, but many of them were ambiguous. As long as i Fang made sure not to delve too much into these topics and let Xia Yuan sense his feelings, there wouldn’t be any trouble.

“Don’t be so sure. There are 25 classes in Baii No.1 High School. We might not even be in the sa class.”

“My mom said that the Advanced Class in our school was established for future admission to the Science Experintal Class at Baii No.1 High School,” Xia Yuan grumbled. “If we both get into that class, then we can ensure being in the sa class.”

After saying this, Xia Yuan suddenly deflated. “I know Ah Fang, you and Youxi will definitely get in. I’m probably at the bottom of the Advanced Class now, relying solely on my Chinese and English grades…”

“I don’t think it matters whether we’re in the sa class or not. How could I ignore you or not keep in touch just because we’re not in the sa class?”

i Fang patted Xia Yuan’s head. “I’d prefer you to choose your future learning path for yourself. After all, if physics is causing you so much pain and tornt, and you neither like nor excel at it, I think it’s better not to do it. Maybe liberal arts would be more suitable for our Yuan Yuan.”

After listening, Xia Yuan hurriedly changed her words, “I just… I just feel that physics is difficult, not that… I completely hate it. There’s still chemistry and biology as main subjects in the future. I don’t know about chemistry, but I quite like biology.”

After releasing herself from i Fang’s embrace, Xia Yuan paced around a few tis, then looked up at i Fang and said, “I still want to work hard in the Advanced Class… Do I necessarily have to go to the liberal arts classes?”

“As long as this is truly what you want, I’ll support you.”

i Fang continued to advise, “But I don’t want you to force yourself just to be in the sa class as us. I would feel sorry for you if that’s the case.”

“I’m not forcing, really! Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I will take care of myself.”

Xia Yuan giggled and then bid farewell to i Fang with her bicycle.

Although she said that she was not forcing it, i Fang didn’t believe it at all.

But he hoped that Xia Yuan would make her own choice. It was about her future plans, and he wouldn’t forcefully interfere or make decisions for her. That would be disrespectful of her parents’ way of raising her and would certainly provoke Xia Yuan’s resentnt and dislike.

After a month of ordinary days in the class, Guo Yun and i Fang still had little interaction. After all, she was a mber of Zhang Ming’s group and would leave her seat after class. However, i Fang still saw her often alone, sotis eating with Zhang Ming in the cafeteria, and sotis seeing Guo Yun eating alone in a corner.

During middle school, al buddies could tell a lot about a person’s personality and social circle. Not to say that they had to gather with a large group every ti they ate, but at least they would have one or two companions. It was clear that Guo Yun’s attempt to integrate into the class circle was not an easy task.

However, at this point, if a person could live well on their own, there was no need to endure socializing forcefully. Many people nowadays feel that enduring loneliness is preferable to tolerating foolish freedom.

However, life for everyone is never that simple, and conflicts are always present.

And on this day, during the break after class, i Fang noticed the conflict that Guo Yun was facing.

Guo Yun gently nudged her left deskmate, Yu Lin, and told her that she wanted to go to the restroom. Yu Lin, awakened, was very annoyed, and complained to Guo Yun: “Why do you have to go to the restroom every class? Aren’t you annoying?”

“Today… is the first ti, right?”

After Yu Lin finished speaking, she turned her head and continued to sleep, leaving Guo Yun feeling both embarrassed and helpless.

At that mont, i Fang’s voice ca from beside her.

“Guo Yun, co over to our side, we’ll make a way for you.”

This was the first ti Guo Yun had been spoken to by i Fang.
