Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 16: Because I Myself am in the Mountain

Rain falls all night

My love overflows like rainwater

Leaves fall in the courtyard

My longing piles up thickly

A few words of gossip

Cannot cool down my passion

You appear on every page of my poetry

The ti ca to the sumr and autumn of 2005. It was the era when Allens golden songs dominated the Chinese music scene, and the title President Chou began to be ntioned by countless people.

At the age of 9, i Fang officially entered the fourth grade.

At that crossroad where choices had never been made in the previous life, i Fang persuaded his parents to let him attend the audio-visual class taught by Teacher Yu, who was also Xia Yuans mother, under the pretext of wanting to learn more about computer.

During her elentary school years, Xia Yuan was still liked by her classmates, not only because of her identity as Teacher Yus daughter, but also because of her angelic personality and sweet and lovely appearance, which made her a topic of conversation.

Of course, she did not disappoint her mothers expectations in her studies. As the Chinese language study committee mber, her Chinese language grades ranked among the top in the class, but she was a bit weak in math.

During this period, Teacher Yu implented a mutual learning assistance group plan in the class, and Xia Yuan beca desk mates with a student who excelled in math, achieving the goal of mutual assistance.

Its ti for morning reading, no sleeping in, lets start morizing.

Xia Yuan nudged i Fang, who was dozing off on the desk, until he moved.

Sigh ti passes too quickly.

i Fang lazily yawned and reluctantly took out his textbook.

Although it had been three years since his rebirth, i Fang still couldnt get used to waking up at six or seven in the morning.

Did you stay up late playing gas again last night?

i Fang propped his cheek and stared blankly at the textbook, still in a dazed state, which made Xia Yuan a little angry.

Im telling you, even if your grades are good, you cant be so lazy. Learning is like rowing against the current, if you dont advance, youll fall back. Look, last ti you only got 99 points in math, which is a big step back from always getting 100 points before.

Will you stop bothering if I finish morizing todays content?

i Fang flipped through the Chinese textbook, It seems like I only need to morize two poems today?

During the morning reading ti, elentary students had the task of reciting poems and texts. The person who finished reciting the poems in front of the teacher had the authority to check other students recitations.

Dont underestimate just two poems, its not easy to morize

As the class representative, Xia Yuan had already morized the poems from her mother the night before, I spent an hour morizing them last night!

Whats so difficult about it? Ill recite it for you now.

i Fang closed the textbook and thought for a mont before speaking.

A strip of waters spread in the setting sun,

Half the rivers erald, half is red.

I love the third night of the ninth month,

The dew is like pearl; the moon like a bow.

Well Mu Jiang Yin[1] is no problem, the next one is Su Shis Written on the Wall of West Forest Temple.[2]

Xia Yuan was worried that i Fang had just peeked at the textbook, so she pressed it down and said, Im telling you, you cant read now, otherwise youll have to morize it again for .

Since thats the case, why dont we make a deal?

i Fang half-closed his eyes and smiled slightly, If I can morize it, will you do my howork for tonight?

Then Xia Yuan pouted, What if you cant morize it?

You tell .

Xia Yuan seized the opportunity.

You promised last ti that we would go roller skating together at the cultural square, but you never fulfilled it! If you cant morize it, you have to accompany this weekend no matter what.

No problem!

i Fang coughed lightly a few tis, then began his performance:

From the side, a whole range; from the end, a single peak:

Far, near, high, low, no two parts alike.

Xia Yuan showed a slightly surprised expression.

Why cant I tell the true shape of Lu

Xia Yuan bit her lip tightly, staring at i Fang eagerly. i Fang glanced at her, then pretended to ponder for a long ti.

Hmm

i Fang playfully stuck out his tongue at Xia Yuan, I forgot.

You lost! You have to accompany to go roller skating this weekend! Im telling you, this ti you cant bail on like you did with Lin Youxi.

Yes, yes, Ill listen to you.

Why cant I tell the true shape of Lushan?

Because I myself am in the mountain.

i Fang did not forget the tragedy of the forr horoom teacher of the audio-visual class in his previous life. For the past few years, he has been paying special attention to Xia Yuans family situation.

But whether it was due to the butterfly effect caused by i Fangs rebirth or not, so places in this world are no longer the familiar ones to him.

The nas of so cities, people, and the plots of so animated films are different from what i Fang rembers.

If these could still be attributed to mory deviations, then what happened next undoubtedly proved the change in the world line

In his previous life, i Fang had always been an only child. However, after this rebirth, i Fang gained a younger sister.

Because of this, their mother resigned from her job within the system. During that ti, family planning was strictly enforced, and if they were discovered, their father i Lijuns job would also be at risk. The existence of the younger sister beca a secret known only to a few people around them.

Undoubtedly, this was the confidence brought to their parents by the wealth i Fang obtained from winning the lottery. But when he first learned that he was going to be a big brother, he was still shocked.

Due to the long span of the rebirth, i Fang cannot confirm whether Xia Yuan will still experience the sa tragedy.

But as long as he stays by her side, closely watching over her, there will always be a chance to change the original world line.

As long as he can avoid the tragedy from happening again,

After school, the elentary students of Baii County would choose to organize teams, with the person living farthest from school usually being the captain.

Captain Lu has a road sign prepared by the school with the word Give Way on it. The students in the sa class line up in an orderly manner and can only leave the team and go ho when they are close to ho.

When i Fang and Xia Yuan return to the residential area, they dont go to their own hos. i Fang will stay at Xia Yuans house to complete their howork together and stay there for a while before going ho.

Your dad seems to be coming ho late these days.

Yeah, hes been busy with the hotel business lately

Xia Yuan was contemplating a math problem, and seeing her worried expression, i Fang leaned over to take a look.

Havent I taught you this question many tis before? Here, use the thod of trapezoidal approximation. You place the area here, and it becos a trapezoid

I know youve taught many tis

Xia Yuan sighed silently, But I just cant figure out that one point.

Fourth grade is a hurdle for many elentary students. Maybe they have been doing well in grades one, two, and three, with simple teaching content that can be achieved by being diligent.

In the fourth grade, the gap in math scores will gradually beco apparent because there are more and more knowledge points to learn, and the difficulty is constantly increasing. So elentary students may find it more difficult to study, and Xia Yuan is obviously one of them.

But if you really cant do it, why not just leave it blank? Dont force yourself.

You cant think like that.

Xia Yuan shook her head, I am a model student, an example for everyone to learn from, and I am also the horoom teachers daughter. If I dont work hard, everyone will think that I am relying on my moms authority to play the role of a good student

Xia Yuans burden of being an idol is as heavy as ever. i Fang sighed and said:

There are many ways in life, and you dont have to be a good role model. The most important thing is to live happily.

Thats true but I really like that feeling.

Also

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and continued, You know, i Fang, the reason why I have always liked playing with you since we were young is because you are really different from other boys.

What do you an?

Most of them only know how to play cards, play gas, fight, show off, and bully girls, but you dont do that.

Have I never bullied you?

i Fang tapped Xia Yuans head, Look, I often do things like this too.

That doesnt count as bullying. Many boys have such childish behavior, like drawing on girls clothes, pulling girls braids you wouldnt do that.

What about this?

i Fang pinched Xia Yuans cheek, Does this count as bullying you?

Dont push it, you big idiot!

Annoyed, Xia Yuan also pinched back, and as they pinched each others silly faces, both of them couldnt help but burst into laughter.

In the slanting sunset, the two little ones were innocent and carefree.
