Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 175: Preparing for the Exam

For the next two weeks, the trio were busy preparing for their midterm exams. During this ti, Jiangcheng NOHS finally showed its academic pressure as the top high school in Jiangcheng and Hubei Province.

Almost everyone could be seen diligently studying and practicing questions at their desks, even during the usually relaxed evening self-study sessions.

There were no geniuses here who could achieve satisfactory results just by studying casually, at least not in the parallel class where i Fang was attending. Even the top perforrs who consistently scored in the top 100 of their grade were now imrsed in intense problem-solving.

Currently, i Fang’s exam results in the class were only around the top ten level. This score would undoubtedly be sufficient to guarantee admission to a prestigious university based on previous years’ standards. However, compared to the scores he achieved during the special county student exam, it’s a step backward.

On one hand, he was not fully focused on his studies. i Fang had to juggle between music, gas, and even website managent, leaving him with minimal additional study ti outside of completing howork. On the other hand, his academic aptitude had gradually fallen behind.

Jiangcheng NOHS was a place where top perforrs gathered. Even if he concentrated on solving problems diligently in class, without putting in more effort, he could only achieve this level.

But his current situation was still within his controllable range. After all, he didn’t plan to solely rely on grades to get into a prestigious university. He was also looking forward to the National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) in July of next year. He was just making preparations for both options.

Based on his current understanding, winning a gold dal in the NOI would directly qualify him for admission to a prestigious university. The programming languages allowed in this competition were C, C , or Pascal.

i Fang and Lin Youxi had already mastered the C language before learning C# and Java, so transitioning to C would be highly efficient, so there was no need to worry too much.

Setting aside this topic of future planning, everyone had been busy studying and preparing for the exam lately.

As the weather gradually cooled down, the precious ti for cuddling and replenishing energy during the evening self-study session beca even more precious.

Whenever the bell rang for the 30-minutes evening self-study break, i Fang could see Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi knocking on his window if he got up even a minute or two late. During this ti, i Fang happened to be sitting by the window, making it very convenient to greet them.

He walked with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan through the campus of Jiangcheng NOHS during the late autumn season. Late autumn was a golden season, with fallen leaves covering the roads, and the fragrance of countless osmanthus flowers filling the air along the way.

Recently, the school had been strict in cracking down on puppy love, and it seed that there were dedicated staff mbers supervising the playground. So the trio couldn’t engage in any conspicuous displays of affection in such noticeable places.

Fortunately, Jiangcheng NOHS was large enough, and there were plenty of places where they could be alone together.

“There’s no one near this pavilion. Let’s stay here. Yuan Yuan, do you want to go first today, or should I?”

“You can go first, Youxi… I’ll give you so privacy.”

Xia Yuan had always been eager to be the first who cuddle with i Fang before, and after she was done, Lin Youxi would step in directly, making her feel like she was just a bed warr.

Realizing this, she began to change her approach, occasionally switching who cuddled first to keep her intentions veiled.

Realizing this, she began to change her approach, occasionally switching the order of cuddles to avoid making her intentions too obvious.

Lin Youxi had always accommodated Xia Yuan in this matter, and she didn’t mind. She only cared about managing their ti well.

Recently, Lin Youxi had been hugging i Fang face-to-face, making it convenient for her to hold him for warmth.

“Recharging energy doesn’t feel like much in the cold weather.”

“We haven’t even put on our winter jackets yet, but you’re already complaining about not feeling it. Once we put on our winter jackets, then that’s when we’ll really not feel anything at all.”

“Mmm…”

i Fang enjoyed the process of recharging energy with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, but he also understood that this comfortable life couldn’t last forever. After all, balancing the water was just a ans, not his ultimate goal.

Currently, the people around him seed to expect him to make a choice between Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, including the two of them themselves.

But he couldn’t let this idea continue to deepen and solidify. He needed to find a way to slightly progress their thoughts on maintaining a three-person relationship. Otherwise, by the end of high school, he wouldn’t be able to explain anything.

That’s why the song I’m Willing was so important, important enough to be chosen as a performance piece for the art festival, and important enough to be sung for both of them together.

While i Fang contemplated these matters, Lin Youxi suddenly tiptoed and leaned towards i Fang’s ear.

“My hands are a little cold. Can I warm them up inside?”

“Ah… Well, just don’t go too far like last ti.”

“Okay.”

Lin Youxi had done this before, but i Fang still felt a shiver from her ice-cold touch, which gradually subsided.

At this mont, Lin Youxi was leaning against his chest, caressing his back while softly humming a lody.

“What song is that? It sounds sowhat familiar…”

“This is the lody Yuan Yuan composed based on the sheet music you wrote for Bare Face[1]. She just finished playing it for last night, and I quite liked it.”

Lin Youxi raised her head and looked at i Fang. “Speaking of which, how could you write lyrics like this? It’s completely different from your previous style.”

“Uh… I just studied and took inspiration from others. It’s not my true talent.”

Lin Youxi didn’t pay much attention to i Fang’s words. She continued to suggest to him, “I think you can sing it at the New Year’s Eve Gala.”

Lin Youxi suggested, “I believe it would be fitting for you to sing it with Yuan Yuan.”

“This song, being a love song is already pushing it, and now a male-female duet? Maybe you and Yuan Yuan should sing it instead.”

Lin Youxi shook her head. “Yuan Yuan definitely wants to sing it with you. You know her personality.”

“And after our last performance, the school had a high opinion of us. They probably won’t object now.”

“Also, the video of our performance that Wan Chaoxiong edited for us on C Site is very popular. It reached over 10,000 views early on, especially so of the bullet comnts, they are quite interesting. You must have seen them, right?”

“Bullet comnts? Which comnts… I didn’t pay much attention.”

When i Fang said this, he looked up at the night sky with a guilty expression. Of course, this small movent wouldn’t be overlooked by observant Lin Youxi, who lightly pinched i Fang’s waist.

“Many of the bullet comnts say that you have a woman on each arm and are a winner in life. Student i Fang, what do you think about this?”

“My opinion is that people who always have dirty thoughts in their minds will find everything dirty…”

As i Fang grumbled, Lin Youxi kept staring at him, and in the end, he couldn’t breathe under her gaze, so he stopped pretending and just laugh.

“But it does make people feel envious, which is quite normal, haha… After all, a long-lasting relationship like ours is rare.”

Lin Youxi seed satisfied with i Fang’s response. After he finished speaking, she buried her head again and hugged him tightly, swaying back and forth.

Although Ah Fang sotis seems very hesitant and awkward when it cos to topics about love, appearing quite naive and innocent, it’s not that he hasn’t grown at all.

For example, he used to call the relationship between the three of us a sincere friendship, but now he uses more neutral words to describe the relationship between the three of us. But there’s no point in pretending anymore.

I’ve already advanced this far, if he still doesn’t get it, he’s just playing dumb.

Although the initial strike ca from Xia Yuan’s super energy replenishnt, it’s also important that Lin Youxi followed up and fully capitalized on it.

Lin Youxi didn’t expect i Fang to give a final answer because she didn’t see anything wrong with their current situation.

Of course, if i Fang wanted to give an answer, she would accept it calmly.

After a while of hugging, Lin Youxi and i Fang finally noticed Xia Yuan standing nearby, fidgeting and twirling her fingers.

“Yuan Yuan, did I exceed the ti limit?”

“Ah… Did you? It’s alright, ahaha…”

“Tomorrow night, I’ll make it up to you,” Lin Youxi thought for a mont. “The day after tomorrow is the midterm exam, so I’ll make it up to you tomorrow.”

“Huh? Um… no need, no need… It’s fine…”

One mont Xia Yuan was blushing and reluctant, the next mont she was tightly hugging i Fang.

“Why are you holding on so tight today…?”

“Is it too tight?”

Xia Yuan raised her head and looked at i Fang. “We wear more clothes in the autumn, so the energy isn’t replenished as easily. That’s why we have to hold on even tighter.”

“Well… You’re right…”

The more i Fang compared his interactions with XiaYuan and Lin Youxi, the more he could sense Xia Yuan’s innocence.

In fact, she had the sa personality in her childhood, but back then, Lin Youxi was more awkward and introverted, making Xia Yuan seem like the older sister.

It had been a ten-year-long journey, but it was actually Lin Youxi’s personality that had changed, while Xia Yuan, to so extent, had hardly changed at all.

But this kind of ‘unchanged’ state, in a certain sense, is also sothing worth cherishing.

“By the way, Ah Fang, I’ve made the accompanint lody for the song Bare Face based on the sheet music you gave . When you have ti, you can listen to it.”

“Instead of studying properly, you secretly wrote song. Have you finished the physics questions?”

“You’re so an! You specifically ntioned physics.”

Xia Yuan lightly punched i Fang in frustration. “Currently, physics isn’t difficult in the first year of high school. I can still get decent scores.”

“Alright, alright… Who dares to say that our Yuan Yuan isn’t capable? I promise to help you beat them up.”

“It’s none other than you…”

Xia Yuan snuggled against i Fang’s chest and suddenly spoke in a dramatic tone, “Oh, Ah Fang’s hug is so warm, it must be Youxi warming it up for .”

“Pfft.”

“Why are you laughing at ?”

“Using the sa joke again makes it very funny.”

“R-Really!” Xia Yuan blushed and muttered, “I don’t think so at all…”

“But Youxi’s body is very cold, my hands just got chilled by her, and they’re still cold now.”

“Really? Let hold them.”

Xia Yuan held i Fang’s hands and closed her eyes, savoring the sensation.

“Mmm… They don’t feel very cold, I think…”

“You won’t feel it that way when we’re holding hands like this. You have to do it like this…”

i Fang could sense Xia Yuan’s shyness, and there were many things she couldn’t bring herself to say.

If he wanted balance the water, he could just standstill and have Lin Youxi do it for him, but when it ca to Xia Yuan, he had to take charge himself.

i Fang took the initiative to interlace his fingers with Xia Yuan’s. Xia Yuan didn’t resist. Sensing his intentions, she quickly clasped his hand in return.

“I-It does feel a little cold… but it’s fine!”

Xia Yuan held one of i Fang’s hands with their ten fingers interlocked, while her other hand embraced him.

It’s like we’re dancing. It’s so much fun.

Feeling the emotions expressed by i Fang, Xia Yuan naturally increased the pace of her advances.

“By the way, Ah Fang… I want to discuss sothing with you. It might be a bit early to ntion it now, but… during the New Year’s Eve Gala——”

“On that day, we’ll perform together on stage, right? Sure, let’s sing Bare Face.”

“Ah, I actually wanted you to sing that song with Youxi.”

“Don’t you want to sing it with ?”

“It’s not that… I think Youxi’s voice is also beautiful, and she might——”

“Let’s sing together. Youxi and I talked about it, and she also hopes l’ll join you on stage.”

“R-Really? Then I guess… I guess that’s settled…”

Feeling very happy, Xia Yuan participated in the midterm exam of the first sester of her freshman year at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School and perford very well.
