Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 265: How About We Go to Ah Fang-’s House for the New

After concluding the company's annual gathering held in Jiangcheng, the yearly season of separation for the trio had once again arrived.

Having spent so much ti with his childhood sweethearts, i Fang didn't really feel much about these farewells anymore, especially since he had too much work to keep him occupied.

However, Xia Yuan, who was in the midst of a passionate relationship with i Fang, saw things differently. She pulled Lin Youxi and i Fang together to make so calculations:

"Although we agreed at the beginning to determine our relationship ti by school terms, if we go by that, I'm always in the first sester, and the first sester is shorter than the second."

Xia Yuan continued, "Plus, this year we only started dating in late October, and we're supposed to break up at the end of the sester when January has just begun. Calculating this way, Ah Fang and I have been only dating for less than 3 months. Not to ntion that Ah Fang has to return to Baizhou City at the beginning of the year, so there are two weeks when I can't be with Ah Fang..."

i Fang and Lin Youxi listened quietly to Xia Yuan's tearful complaints. i Fang couldn't help but shake his head and say, "If you put half as much effort into your math problems as you do into this, you wouldn't have done so poorly on your finals-"

Xia Yuan imdiately interrupted, mumbling that i Fang shouldn't say any more.

"Ahhh-stop talking! I'm different from you two, and I've been totally focused on Ah Fang lately. I haven't been studying at all."

Lin Youxi shook her head, "That's no excuse for scoring so badly. My mind has also been on Ah Fang, and I still got first in the class."

"No, you can't compare to yourself like that..."

i Fang chid in to support Xia Yuan, "Let's put aside the matter of Yuan Yuan failing her math test for now. I do think she has a point. Even though we haven't publicly announced our relationship on social dia, breaking up so soon might cause a backlash. I don't mind if people criticize , but Yuan Yuan's reputation could also be affected."

"In that case, why don't we adjust the terms of our previous secret agreent?"

Lin Youxi thought for a mont and continued, "Let's set a ti limit of one year. Ah Fang will belong to Yuan Yuan in our second year, and to in our third year. How does that sound?"

"You're so great, Youxi!"

A very touched Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi, showering her with affection. Lin Youxi, enjoying the attention, acted with a loving and indulgent expression.

While hugging Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi asked i Fang, "Speaking of which, ever since you moved to your new house, we haven't visited yet. I was thinking, since Yuan Yuan and I don't have much to do at ho before the New Year, and you said your house is quite spacious now, could we stay at your place?"

i Fang was taken aback, "Huh? Stay at my place... Can you even convince your families to agree?"

"I talked to my mom about it last night. She said it's fine as long as Yuan Yuan goes too."

Xia Yuan had been pondering how she would get through the two weeks without i Fang, but when she heard what Lin Youxi suggested, she quickly perked up.

"Oh right! I've moved recently too, so it's not convenient to hang out with Youxi and Xiaoxue anymore."

"But... it's rare for us to co ho..." i Fang scratched his head with so reluctance. "I think it would be better if you two spent more ti with your parents."

"Ah Fang, what are you trying to say-" Xia Yuan frowned, putting her hands on her hips in a frustrated stance. "Are you getting tired of spending ti with us?"

"What? No way I'd get tired of that!"

i Fang pinched her cheeks playfully to calm her down. "I just thought Uncle Xia, Uncle Lin, and Teacher Yu haven't seen you two in a while. They must be missing you."

"We can always video call them, it's not a big deal."

Xia Yuan continued to grumble. "Besides, Youxi and I video chat with our parents all the ti, but we hardly ever get to see Uncle i and Aunt Xiang. Don't they miss us too?" ＲАŊŎ𝐛Ês̈

Lin Youxi chid in, whispering in i Fang's ear, "Weren't you planning to finally tell your family about your company? If we're there with you, it'll be easier for them to accept."

"That's true... My mom is quite fond of you two."

Originally, i Fang had planned to confess about his business during the New Year when he and his family returned ho to Baii, but if he could get it over with as soon as he arrived at Baizhou, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"But isn't it a bit late to bring this up now? My dad's already on his way to pick up... How am I supposed to explain this to him?" Xia Yuan asked.

i Fang understood Xia Yuan's father's temperant well enough to know how to handle him.

"No worries, here's what you should say..."

After i Fang explained his plan, Lin Youxi offered her thoughts.

"That's a good start, but I don't think it's enough."

Although Xia Yuan's father usually ca across as an easygoing dad, he did have his limits. "You'll need to do this and that as well if you really want to convince Uncle Xia to let Yuan Yuan visit your house."

Xia Xun, who hadn't seen his daughter in a while, happily drove to Jiangcheng to pick her up.

His daughter had beco famous online, and now, whenever Xia Xun went out, people referred to him as the "celebrity's dad." Though he always acted calm and collected, inside, he couldn't have been more proud.

Since childhood, Xia Yuan had loved music, and seeing her achieve such success wasn't just a result of her talent, but also of the early education Xia Xun had provided as her father.

His phone was filled with all of Xia Yuan's videos and songs, and whenever he missed his daughter, he would take them out and watch or listen to them.

But he also knew that his daughter was at an age where she was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, and her affection for boys would naturally outweigh her affection for him as a father.

If he seed too eager to hold onto their bond, still expecting her to be his LittLe cotton jacket, he'd co across as childish. So, on his way to pick her up, he had prepared himself for the possibility that she might act a bit distant.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, he was surprised to see his daughter standing in the cold wind, waiting for him.

Recognizing his car's license plate, Xia Yuan excitedly waved at him.

Xia Xun pulled over and was about to get out to ask how she was doing when Xia Yuan suddenly ran up and threw her arms around him in a big hug.

"Dad! Long ti no see!"

After hugging him tightly, Xia Yuan playfully patted Xia Xun's back hard. "You look so much chubbier than you do in the video calls! What's going on?"

"Uh... well..."

Xia Xun scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "Actually, your mom's cooking has gotten way better than before."

"Wow! Really? I'm definitely going to have to try it when I get back."

Xia Xun nodded, then turned his attention to i Fang, whom he had been pretending not to notice this whole ti. i Fang stepped forward to greet him. "Hello, Uncle Xia."

Xia Xun nodded at i Fang, then asked Xia Yuan. "So, where are Youxi and Sister ijuan? Did they head back earlier this year?"

"Ah, no... They're not in a rush to go ho today. I actually wanted to go to the mall first, buy so local specialties and gifts for Mom. Dad, could we leave a bit later?"

"That's no problem... just don't be too late."

Xia Xun glanced over at i Fang, thinking that he was probably going to end up being the designated carrier for all the shopping bags again.

But just then, i Fang spoke to Xia Yuan briefly before turning to him. "Uncle Xia, why don't you accompany Yuan Yuan to go shopping? I won't disturb you both."

Xia Xun was a little confused. "What about you, i Fang? Where are you going?"

Xia Yuan quickly responded, "Ah Fang's going to the mall with Youxi and Aunt ijuan."

"If you're all going to the mall, why not just go together? I can drive you there."

"No need, Uncle Xia!"

i Fang scratched his head with a smile. "Youxi actually wants to buy so clothes for her dad, and I promised to help her pick."

"Oh... I see."
