Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 180: Enjoying Youth!

The Autumn Sports Festival at Jiangcheng NOHS ca to an end amidst various commotions. Thanks to the heroic performance of Xiang Bingbing, Class 3 ranked third in the total points among the 20 first-year classes.

As a result, Xiang Bingbing received a small desk lamp, so stationery notebooks, a basketball, a badminton racket, and a total of 300 yuan in al card recharge funds. She even received so many certificates that her hands were sore from holding them.

Xiang Bingbing returned with a bunch of prizes in a very amusing manner. She jokingly claid to be a saleswoman from Shennongjia, imitating the style of vendors from her hotown, and shouted in a vendor-like manner, making everyone burst into laughter.

Xiang Bingbing was a funny and quirky girl, and she was actually quite cute in appearance as well.

If she were a bit shorter, she would not only be popular in the class but throughout the entire school as well. However, most boys were concerned about being shorter than girls. In reality, there weren’t many boys who had romantic feelings towards her. Everyone saw her as a fun-loving person and a good classmate, teasing and playing around with each other. Xiang Bingbing treated most boys equally.

Here, it’s worth ntioning the word “most” because there was still one exception, and that exception was i Fang.

Xiang Bingbing voluntarily gave the cute little desk lamp she won as a prize to i Fang, saying it was compensation for almost sending him flying earlier. After so hesitation, i Fang finally accepted it.

Anyway, I should rember to report it to Yuan Yuan and Youxi when we go ho after school. The two of them aren’t that petty, they probably won’t make a fuss over this.

In conclusion, this school’s sports festival was a very morable experience for i Fang.

Whether it was getting thrown by Xiang Bingbing, or getting caught flirting in the infirmary, each ti with a different girl, they were all very interesting mories.

This should be considered as truly enjoying youth…

It was only after getting ho that i Fang realized his sentint about youth had co a bit too early, because he completely forgot about the promise he made earlier with Xia Yuan.

Of course, Xia Yuan has a very good mory. She had been subtly hinting at i Fang, and finally, when Lin Youxi was busy washing up, she got an opportunity to lick i Fang’s cheek in his room. Only after that did she slip away feeling satisfied.

Before the New Year’s Eve Gala arrived at the end of 2011, there were no other particularly interesting events. Although the academic pressure in the first year of high school wasn’t too great, the curriculum was still packed.

While everyone was busy studying while also participating in so school-organized activities, i Fang and Lin Youxi had been working on a ga, while Xia Yuan had songs to write, so their level of active participation was not very high.

The New Year’s Eve Gala was the school’s last big event before the end of 2011. Xia Yuan finally got her wish to be on stage for this event, ready to perform their latest work, Bare Face, together with i Fang.

The preparation for the performance was similar to that of the Autumn Art Festival. The two even wore the sa outfits they had used for their previous performance, and were already prepared to take the stage and perform.

Xia Yuan and i Fang were waiting behind the stage for the end of the previous performance when Xia Yuan suddenly turned around and asked i Fang with a smile, “Are you nervous?”

i Fang shook his head and patted his chest, saying: “It’s not my first ti, so I’m good. But what about you, Yuan Yuan? Don’t you need my super energy boost this ti?”

“I’m not alone this ti, you’re going on stage with .”

Xia Yuan patted i Fang’s shoulder. “In any case, we both need to perform well and not let Youxi down.”

“Mhm.”

With the announcent from the host, Xia Yuan and i Fang entered the stage together, holding their guitars under the spotlight. The first-year students who had seen their faces before erupted into thunderous applause.

Among the cheers, Xiang Bingbing’s voice was missing this ti. She had learned many photography techniques in the club and had beco quite professional, which made her senior, Wan Chaoxiong, very pleased.

The musical accompanint for this performance was independently produced by Liu Xiaoyu. As the synthesized vocals mixed with the accompanint began, Xia Yuan played the guitar gently with her head down, while i Fang adjusted his earpiece and started singing softly:

【It’s another quiet evening】

Since Xia Yuan usually provided i Fang with vocal guidance, i Fang’s voice now had characteristics that better suited the style of the song. For the song Bare Face, his style would appear sowhat flirty and unrestrained.

When i Fang’s part ca to an end, he turned to look at Xia Yuan, who gradually raised her head and took over i Fang’s part to continue singing.

Xia Yuan’s original voice was very cute and sweet. She could sing lodies that would lt people’s hearts without needing any techniques. i Fang played along cooperatively, but he didn’t lower his head like Xia Yuan did. Instead, he kept his eyes on her throughout the performance.

When Xia Yuan’s solo part was about to finish, she finally noticed i Fang’s affectionate gaze fixed on her. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, she almost laughed out loud. But i Fang quickly joined her for the climax of the song.

【If I look at you again】

【Will I still feel sothing?】

【Back then, with your bare face, you were as pure as pure could be】

Can Bare Face be considered a sweet love song? Absolutely not, judging from the lyrics alone.

The boy likes the pure and naive girl, but the girl becos increasingly obsessed with dressing up, and they eventually break up for various reasons. Yet when they et again, they nostalgically reminisce about the good old tis.

With such a song, however, i Fang and Xia Yuan’s performance made it sound like a sweet love song. During the climactic bridge section, as they played their guitars and gazed passionately into each other’s eyes, there was no hint of any regret to be seen.

Of course, such an interpretation would only add bonus points during a live performance, as the students were moved by i Fang and Xia Yuan’s intimate musical chemistry.

After the performance ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, with so mischief-makers even shouting “Be together!” Xia Yuan and i Fang, of course, just smiled it off.

They have been together for more than ten years. They don’t need anyone’s urging them at all.

Compared to i Fang’s previous copied songs, Bare Face can be said to be one of Xu Song’s most popular early works. Its popularity could very well surpass all the previously copied songs. i Fang was naturally aware of this.

With the flow of traffic from C site, their nas would be spread even more. And once Xia Yuan’s song recordings were finished, their album would move from the campus-level scene to an online platform.

The 2012 Lunar New Year fell on January 23rd. After the New Year’s Eve Gala, there were less than 20 days left until Lunar New Year. During this ti, everyone was busy with exam-related matters.

And after two weeks of hard work in the cold winter, the trio finally finished their final exams and were about to embark on their journey back ho.

It was only after i Fang finished talking to his parents on the phone that Xia Yuan finally realized, “Oh… Ah Fang is going to Baizhou for the Lunar New Year.”

The fact that i Fang had moved out from their hotown didn’t really sink in for Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. After all, even if he moved, the trio were always together.

“Ah Fang, are you not coming back to Baii County for the entire winter vacation?” Lin Youxi reminded i Fang, “Didn’t you say you would co back for the Lunar New Year before?”

“We didn’t discuss that on the phone just now, but I should co back before New Year’s Eve, shouldn’t I? I want to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with my grandma and the others. Baizhou and Baii County are so close, I can go back to my hotown in a snap.”

“It’s better if you can go back, otherwise I’ll have to go to Baizhou City and drag you back there with Youxi.”

“You can co over, both of you haven’t seen our new house yet, right? To be honest, I haven’t seen it many tis either. It’s a single-family house like Yuan Yuan’s, much bigger than where we are now.”

“Well… we’ll see when the ti cos. By the way… I think our family will be moving soon too.” Xia Yuan grumbled. “My dad bought a new house near the Imperial Garden. We should be able to move in by March this year. It won’t be so convenient to co back here anymore.”

“We used to live so close to each other, but now suddenly everyone is moving away.”

i Fang couldn’t help but sigh after hearing that. “It seems like only Youxi can often co to our neighborhood to reminisce about our childhood.”

“There’s no need to deliberately reminisce about our childhood. Just co back for the Lunar New Year soon.”

Lin Youxi gently held i Fang’s hand and said, “We have many things to do together in the future. There’s no need to dwell on the past mories.”

“True…”

“So, Ah Fang, bring Xiaoya too. I haven’t seen her in almost half a year!”

“I don’t know if she’s adapting well to her new school, or if she’s doing well with her howork… If she cos back to Baii one day earlier, I can help her with her assignnts,” Lin Youxi said.

“That won’t be necessary!”

i Fang and Xia Yuan almost simultaneously voiced their opposition because neither of them wanted Youxi to be disliked by i Ya.
