Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 181: Returning Home

After the final exam, everyone had a few more days of classes, with only half a day on the last day.

When school was over, the parents of the trio appeared in the crowded group of parents.

i Fangs father, i Lijun, along with his sister i Ya, Xia Yuans father, Xia Xun, Lin Youxis father, Lin Guochuan, and Liang ijuan who had been taking care of the trio were all present.

It was Lin Guochuans first ti visiting Jiangcheng with this group, seeing Jiangcheng NOHS, the high school that Lin Youxi attended for the first ti.

He was usually busy with work and hadnt seen his daughter for almost half a year, so he wanted to visit during the final exam.

He worked tirelessly to complete his work project and finally caught up with the holiday. He ca to Jiangcheng with i Lijun in his car.

Lin Youxi was also pleasantly surprised to see her fathers arrival. She imdiately approached him to talk, while Liang ijuan intentionally stepped back, giving them so ti alone.

However, Lin Youxi seed a bit unhappy.

Dad, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Have you not been eating properly at ho?

Uh Im okay.

You already have a stomach problem. Its not good for your health if you continue like this. I think it would be better to let Aunt ijuan take care of you at ho for a while next sester.

Ah? Then who will take care of you guys?

Lin Youxi smiled faintly. We can take care of ourselves now.

However, Lin Youxi was the only child who willingly sought closeness with her father.

When Xia Yuan saw her father coming over, she didnt react much. Instead, she imdiately ran to play with i Fangs little sister, i Ya.

Sister Yuan Yuan!

Xia Yuan picked up the already 9-year-old i Ya and said with a smile, Xiaoya, I missed you so much, and youve grown taller.

i Ya had trouble catching her breath after being picked up by Xia Yuan. Sister Yuan Yuan you have gotten fatter ah

Xia Yuans face turned red from i Yas comnt, not knowing what to say.

At this mont, it was up to i Fang to intervene. He decided to teach his younger sister a lesson and gently tapped her head.

Dont say that your sister Yuan Yuan is fat, okay? Your sister Yuan Yuan has justumdeveloped, okay?

Developed?

i Ya covered her head and looked towards Xia Yuan, So developed ans they get biggerXiaoya learned sothing new!

Dont learn things like that!

Xia Yuan scolded i Ya a few tis with a blush on her face, and i Fang watched the two of them being affectionate. At this ti, i Lijun also approached.

The father and son looked at each other in silence for a while.

Usually, i Fang would talk to his mom, Xiang Xioaxia, when making phone calls. He hardly spoke to his father, to the point that they hadnt exchanged words in half a year, leaving them speechless in each others presence.

The first one to break the silence was i Lijun, the elderly father. He chuckled a few tis, patted i Fangs shoulder, and asked, How did the final exam go?

They went alright.

What do you an by alright? You used to be in the top three or five in middle school, but now youve probably fallen behind.

Its not the sa as middle school rankings.

Tell , did you make it to the top 10?

Um, Im eighth.

Oh, okay then.

At this mont, i Fang noticed sothing unusual on i Lijuns head. Finally, he suddenly stopped and seed unsure of what to say.

A look of sadness and grief appeared on his face. His mouth moved, but no words ca out. Finally, he trembled and spoke up.

Dad, youre balding!

Upon hearing this, i Lijun imdiately beca furious. Its just that I have a little less hair. It doesnt count as balding!

Look at where your hairline has gone.

Dont successful n end up like this?

Xia Yuan, after affectionately interacting with i Ya, started speaking up for i Lijun.

Ah Fang, dont say that! Uncle i is a high-ranking official now, and his work is very demanding. Its normal for him to be like this.

Yeah, yeah, Yuan Yuans words sound better i Lijun had always leaned towards the Yuan faction since they were younger, so he naturally got along well with her.

Xia Xun stood by, watching his little cotton-padded jacket happily chatting with soone elses father, feeling an indescribable sense of loss.

But he couldnt show it. Especially in front of these fathers, he had to maintain his composure.

Xia Xun waited for his daughter to co and talk to him, but all the way, Xia Yuan held i Yas hand and leaned on i Fangs arm, while chatting happily with i Lijun.

Xia Xun finally got impatient and reluctantly asked his daughter, Ahem um, Yuan Yuan, you havent seen your dad in so long, why dont we talk a bit more?

Hehe, Uncle Xia is jealous, i Ya giggled, covering her mouth.

Dadplease dont be like this.

Xia Yuan suddenly felt embarrassed by Xia Xuns behavior, so she explained, I wont see i Ya and Uncle i again for a while after this. When we get ho, Im going to tell you and Mom about my life in Jiangcheng.

Oh I see, I see.

Xia Xun awkwardly touched his nose. Its getting late, lets go eat together. Today, Ill treat you all. Kids, just order whatever you want.

Upon hearing the news, little i Ya imdiately ran up to Xia Xun, tugging at his clothes with a very coquettish tone.

Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia, can we have lamb? I want to eat lamb hot pot. Ive been wanting to eat it for a long ti! But Mom and Dad are stingy and never take to eat it.

Of course we can! If Xiaoya wants to eat it, Uncle will let you eat it. Xiaoya is so well-behaved. When we co back for the Lunar New Year, Uncle will give you a big red envelope.

i Ya jumped up excitedly on the side, Thank you, Uncle Xia! Uncle Xia, you are so handso and generous, much better than my dad! Why dont you be my dad?

Hearing this, Xia Xun couldnt stop laughing. i Lijun, who was standing by the side, was furious and said, Hey, you silly girl, how can you just defect like that? Havent I always been good to you?

No matter how good you are to , its useless. You dont have any money. Your money is all in Moms hands Uncle Xia and Aunt Yu are better. I want to switch and beco their daughter instead!

So, all cotton-padded jackets are cold sotis?

The mischievous i Ya filled the journey with a lively atmosphere, and the commotion seed never-ending.

It was only when Xia Xun asked about i Yas studies that the world finally beca quiet.

On the way back ho, Xia Xun drove with his daughter and the Lin family to Baii County, while i Fang and his sister i Ya got into i Lijuns car.

Dad, when are we going back to Baii?

Probably on the 28th or 29th. I initially wanted to bring your grandparents here to live, but they want to take care of their vegetable garden.

That wont do, I already made a promise with Sister Yuan Yuan and Sister Youxi to set off fireworks together.

i Ya emphasized, I dont have many good friends in Baizhou, and they live too far away.

Okay, okay, i Lijun said, driving with peace of mind.

Jiangcheng had just experienced a snowfall yesterday, and the roads were covered in a white blanket.

i Fang gazed at the scenery outside the car window.

Thinking about it carefully, since the ti they first t, the trio had hardly ever been apart for more than two weeks, except when Xia Yuan went to her grandmothers house in Jiangcheng for sumr vacation.

Especially after starting middle school, they rarely went three days without seeing each other.

Not to ntion high school

Just as i Fang was reflecting on this, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a ssage from Xia Yuan.

Were on our way!

After sending the ssage, Xia Yuan also attached a photo.

It was a group photo of her and Lin Youxi in the car.

Xia Yuan made a peace sign towards the cara, while Lin Youxi maintained her usual gentle and reserved smile.

Have a safe journey!

i Fang sent a ssage to Xia Yuan.

Have a safe journey!

Xia Yuan replied.

She then stared at the chat conversation with i Fang for a while, typed a few words, then deleted them, and finally just sent a red heart emoji.

Why did I send this?

Xia Yuan pursed her lips, locked her phone, and then snuggled closer to Lin Youxi, intending to take a short rest. Suddenly, her phone vibrated again.

Xia Yuan hurriedly opened her phone to check the ssage. She saw that i Fang had also replied with a red heart emoji, just like her.

She was overjoyed and hugged Lin Youxi even tighter.
