Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 177: Who Would Be So Unambitious to Settle for Their

After changing their clothes, the three of them went downstairs and started jogging around the residential area.

Currently, more than ten years had passed since his rebirth, i Fang’s biological clock had finally adjusted, allowing him to gradually enjoy the ambiance of a morning filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The three of them maintained a steady pace and ran four laps around the residential area, but Xia Yuan’s speed gradually lagged behind.

“You guys… go ahead… don’t worry about ,” Xia Yuan said, clutching her chest and panting heavily, “I need to take a break before I continue running.”

“It’s okay, let’s take a short rest first,” i Fang said, helping Xia Yuan tidy up her slightly ssy hair. “You used to have good stamina, what happened now?”

It’s just… I can’t catch my breath… I’m a bit…” Xia Yuan clung to i Fang’s arm and gasped for breath.

anwhile, although Lin Youxi looked delicate, running didn’t put much pressure on her long legs.

While stretching her legs to the side, she asked Xia Yuan, “Could it be because your sportswear is too tight? Would it be better if you unzip it a bit?”

“No, I can’t do that!”

Xia Yuan resisted and covered her sportswear’s zipper, “It would look weird if I ran like that… it’s not good if soone sees it.”

Ah, that’s what she ant.

i Fang quietly observed Xia Yuan and then teasingly said, “Yuan Yuan, have you gained weight again recently? Your weight should be over a hundred now, right?”

“Stinky Ah Fang!”

Xia Yuan punched i Fang indignantly, “I’m not that heavy. You’ve carried before, and it wasn’t that difficult, was it?”

“The last ti I carried you was during National Day, it’s been a month now.”

“Then carry again and see if it’s about the sa as before.”

As soon as i Fang shifted to the side, Xia Yuan skillfully jumped up and wrapped her arms around i Fang’s neck. i Fang staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance.

Xia Yuan seed a bit nervous as she pressed against i Fang’s shoulder and asked, “A-Ah Fang, are you not fully awake? You seem to lack strength…”

“How is that possible?! I’m wide awake and feeling great.”

“I don’t believe it, you… try carrying Youxi and see, she should be a bit lighter than . I want to see if it’s your problem or mine. Youxi, can you?”

Lin Youxi nodded and approached i Fang.

Lin Youxi had always been relatively tall and slender since she was little. i Fang was now only about four or five centiters taller than her. Rembering the previous experience of carrying Lin Youxi, he imdiately waved his hand and said, “Youxi is so tall that her feet would be dragging on the ground. It’s really hard to carry her.”

“Then carry from the front.”

Lin Youxi pressed i Fang’s shoulder and turned him around, then wrapped her arm around i Fang’s neck, clearly indicating a princess carry.

i Fang, though a bit slow to react, cooperatively crouched down to support Lin Youxi’s legs.

With a light leap, Lin Youxi lifted her feet, and the two of them completed a standard princess carry pose.

“Are you two… a little too skilled at this?”

“Isn’t this position commonly seen on TV? It’s not that difficult…”

Indeed, this was the first ti Lin Youxi and i Fang had perford a princess carry.

Xia Yuan watched as i Fang effortlessly carried Lin Youxi without even holding his breath, looking very relaxed. She felt a sudden panic in her heart.

“Let try it too.”

After Lin Youxi got down, Xia Yuan also had i Fang princess carry her.

i Fang visibly struggled a bit while carrying Xia Yuan, appearing to exert a lot of effort. There was even a stumbling step.

Seeing Xia Yuan on the verge of tears, i Fang quickly comforted her.

“I’m sorry, Yuan Yuan. I’m really weak. I need to exercise more…”

“Ah Fang, you don’t have to say that to console .”

Xia Yuan didn’t indulge in the princess carry for too long. She beca calm, fixed her hair after getting off i Fang, and said, “I’ve rested enough. Let’s continue our morning jog.”

…

Their remarkable performance at the Autumn Art Festival made i Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi montarily beco popular figures in the school. i Fang could feel the gazes of other girls from different classes as he walked in the hallway.

i Fang thought that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi would probably receive similar treatnt, especially Xia Yuan, who was growing quite nicely and would surely catch the eyes of many boys.

However, with Lin Youxi’s aloof aura accompanying her, she could easily keep so boys at bay.

The group performance at the art festival had also boosted i Fang’s confidence. Other boys would need to think twice before making a move and consider whether they were more outstanding than i Fang.

Of course, since that was a group performance, its effectiveness in asserting dominance was still far from sufficient.

So, i Fang willingly chose to sing a duet with Xia Yuan in the New Year’s Eve Gala and chose Bare Face which is a love song with great performance effect.

As for Lin Youxi… i Fang trusted her completely because she always knew what she wanted, had a strong sense of purpose, and wasn’t afraid to reject those she didn’t care about.

If soone were to confess to Xia Yuan, she might still say a few comforting words like “Thank you, you’re a good person.” But with Lin Youxi, she probably wouldn’t even give the other person a chance to speak and would snuff out their thoughts early on.

With the sports festival approaching, everyone was busy with their training preparations. The horoom teacher, Dong Zhongying, changed the afternoon’s free activity ti to group training. Those participating in the long jump practiced long jump, while the high jumpers practiced high jump. The whole field was bustling with activity.

Standing at a height of nearly 1.9 ters, Xiang Bingbing was the absolute main force of this sports festival.

Ever since she heard about the prizes for the top places at Jiangcheng NOHS’s sports festival, she signed up for all the events that didn’t conflict with her schedule. During training, she put in a lot of effort.

Many people were casual during tug-of-war training, but Xiang Bingbing took off her jacket in order to perform better, leaving only a small vest, and easily toppled the entire opposing training group.

“Phew… Xiang Bingbing, you’re too strong!”

“They’re all your brothers and sisters in the class. Bingbing, don’t take it so seriously!”

“How can I not? Training requires serious dedication. Otherwise, what will happen if we underperform during the actual competition…”

Because Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi occupied almost all of his free ti, i Fang didn’t have many interactions with his other boy classmates. Except for Wan Chaoxiong, he only had a good relationship with Wang Jiayu and Liu Shuwen, the boys in the front row of his desk.

Liu Shuwen didn’t talk much usually, but he was very interested in gaming topics. He had a PlayStation ga console at ho, so he had always been a single-player gar and was not interested in online gas at all. He even had a bit of disdain for them.

But i Fang had seen this kind of tendency too many tis. His extensive gaming experience and advanced understanding of gas were enough to attract Liu Shuwen’s interest, and he would often ask i Fang for advice on various gaming issues.

As for Wang Jiayu, he was a bit of a special oddball. Although he was a bit short and skinny, his personality was cheerful and outgoing. He liked to write romance novels or so romance fanfiction stories in class, so he got along well with the girls in the class. So girls were even willing to pay him to help write stories for them.

Perhaps because he got along well with the girls, Wang Jiayu had a sowhat gossipy personality. Whenever Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi ca to find i Fang, he would proactively remind i Fang about their arrival.

During training sessions, different classes were assigned specific areas to practice. Xia Yuan’s and Lin Youxi’s Class 5 were next to Class 3. So, when they arrived first at the training ground, Xia Yuan took the initiative to pull Lin Youxi over to greet and chat with i Fang before returning to continue their training.

After the two of them left, i Fang went back to his group with Liu Shuwen, Wang Jiayu, and Wan Chaoxiong to do so stretching before running, chatting casually as they stretched.

“I have to say, Brother Fang’s two childhood sweethearts really stick to him. They even want to talk to him at a ti like this. I’m so envious that my teeth are grinding.”

Liu Shuwen shook his head. “What’s there to envy? I find it annoying. They’re too clingy and don’t give him any personal ti. I’ll definitely avoid finding a partner like them in the future.”

“Talking about finding a partner in the future, with your mindset, you won’t find a girlfriend at all.”

Wang Jiayu sighed quietly and then looked at i Fang, who was doing stretches seriously. “Speaking of which, I’ve always been curious. Do childhood sweethearts really have thoughts about falling in love? After all, both sides know about each other’s embarrassing monts from childhood to adulthood. It feels like even if they’re together, the way they interact wouldn’t change much… Brother Fang, can you share your thoughts?”

i Fang put on a righteous expression and said, “Why are you guys always thinking about all this random stuff? High school students should behave like high school students, focus on studying, and not engage in early relationships.”

After listening to i Fang’s righteous words, Wang Jiayu quickly gave him a thumbs up. “Alright, Brother Fang, you keep pretending. I’ll be waiting to see you cry your heart out when your childhood sweethearts end up with soone else. Don’t bla for not warning you… Don’t leave any regrets in your youth, Brother Fang!”

i Fang pursed his lips and shook his head. “Yuan Yuan and Youxi won’t be in a relationship with anyone else. Others won’t have a chance.”

“Are you so sure about that?”

“Yes, because I understand them. We have a good relationship.”

i Fang smiled and continued, “But the relationship between us cannot be simply interpreted as friendship or love.”

“Not friendship, not love, then it must be like family, right?”

i Fang pondered for a while and said, “That’s sowhat accurate, I suppose.”

“You’re amazing, Brother Fang,” Wang Jiayu praised. “I have a new inspiration for my latest work. It’s better if you tell more.”

“…”

While i Fang was speechless on the side, Wan Chaoxiong suddenly said sothing surprising, “I think Boss i probably won’t end up with either of his childhood sweethearts.”

“Huh? Why do you say that, Brother Xiong?”

Wan Chaoxiong brushed off the dust from his pants. He was one of the many people knocked down by Xiang Bingbing earlier.

“Because I also have a childhood sweetheart, and I really can’t stand her, you know? She’s always been physically aggressive, breaking my action figures, never washing her socks, and laughing like a fool while watching dramas. Honestly, my pet dog at ho is cuter than her. You wouldn’t have any romantic thoughts about her; you’d just find her annoying.”

“Although it sounds like you’re showing off… but when I think about it, maybe it’s just that your childhood sweetheart isn’t cute enough? Is she as pretty as Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi?”

“Of course, they’re definitely more attractive than my childhood sweetheart, I admit that. But the way they are every day, only Boss i knows. Only Boss i understands the bitterness in it.

“So I’d say, if in the end, Boss i ends up with Xiang Bingbing, I wouldn’t find it surprising at all. Who would be so unambitious to settle for their childhood sweetheart?

“Hmm…”

Following Wan Chaoxiong’s words, i Fang tried to recall the little details of his daily life with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi…

…I almost reacted.

Simply put, childhood sweethearts cannot be generalized.
