Chapter 177: Who Would Be So Unambitious to Settle for Their Childhood Sweetheart?
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, Mei 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 me,” 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,” Mei Fang said, helping Xia Yuan tidy up her slightly messy 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 Mei Fang’s arm and gasped for breath.
Meanwhile, 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 someone sees it.”
Ah, that’s what she meant.
Mei 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!”Read updated stories at novelhall.com
Xia Yuan punched Mei Fang indignantly, “I’m not that heavy. You’ve carried me before, and it wasn’t that difficult, was it?”
“The last time I carried you was during National Day, it’s been a month now.”
“Then carry me again and see if it’s about the same as before.”
As soon as Mei Fang shifted to the side, Xia Yuan skillfully jumped up and wrapped her arms around Mei Fang’s neck. Mei Fang staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance.
Xia Yuan seemed a bit nervous as she pressed against Mei 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 me. I want to see if it’s your problem or mine. Youxi, can you?”
Lin Youxi nodded and approached Mei Fang.
Lin Youxi had always been relatively tall and slender since she was little. Mei Fang was now only about four or five centimeters taller than her. Remembering the previous experience of carrying Lin Youxi, he immediately 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 me from the front.”
Lin Youxi pressed Mei Fang’s shoulder and turned him around, then wrapped her arm around Mei Fang’s neck, clearly indicating a princess carry.
Mei 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 time Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had performed a princess carry.
Perhaps because he got along well with the girls, Wang Jiayu had a somewhat gossipy personality. Whenever Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi came to find Mei Fang, he would proactively remind Mei 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 Mei Fang before returning to continue their training.
After the two of them left, Mei Fang went back to his group with Liu Shuwen, Wang Jiayu, and Wan Chaoxiong to do some 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 time 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 time. 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 Mei 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 moments 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?”
Mei 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 Mei 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 someone else. Don’t blame me for not warning you... Don’t leave any regrets in your youth, Brother Fang!”
Mei 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.”
Mei 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?”
Mei Fang pondered for a while and said, “That’s somewhat 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 me more.”
“...”
While Mei Fang was speechless on the side, Wan Chaoxiong suddenly said something surprising, “I think Boss Mei 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 home 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 Mei knows. Only Boss Mei understands the bitterness in it.
“So I’d say, if in the end, Boss Mei 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, Mei 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.
