Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Regarding this plan of running away from home, Mei Fang had actually conceived it three years ago when he found out that Xia Yuan was the tragic heroine. After comprehensive analysis and contemplation last night, he finally decided to use it as the top priority plan.

He believed that Xia Yuan’s father truly loved his precious daughter. By using this runaway plan, he could make him truly value his daughter’s thoughts, calm down, and give up the pursuit of wealth.

In the end, running away from home is just a plan, not the goal. If Xia Yuan’s father pursuit of wealth far exceeds his love for his daughter, he must adopt the second plan.

Find a way to persuade Xia Yuan’s mother and father to separate in a timely manner, that is, to get a divorce, to avoid further entanglement.

Whether she’s considering her love for her daughter or her love for her husband, in the end, the previous life’s Teacher Yu chose compromise and did not separate from Xia Yuan’s father.

And if none of these work, he must at least protect Xia Yuan and prevent her from being involved in the tragedy.

This plan is for Xia Yuan to come to his own home, or let her stay at her grandmother’s house for a period of time, to endure this period.

Of course, this is not the final result that Mei Fang wants to see, but these are the only things he can do at his age.

Because of the existence of this matter in the previous life, it has always made Mei Fang particularly resentful towards Xia Yuan’s parents, especially her father.

Perhaps the immense pain that Xia Yuan’s father encountered when he fell from a high altitude to a low point is something that Mei Fang, a poor person, cannot imagine, or perhaps it was just a momentary impulse.

But the act of disregarding life like this would make him feel “very regretful”.

He didn’t know if Teacher Yu knew about the situation at that time, but the previous life’s Xia Yuan was definitely kept in the dark about the truth.

She may be gentle, but she is not fragile.

This is the Xia Yuan classmate that he has known for these years.

In today’s class, Xia Yuan appeared unusually quiet, keeping her head down and writing on her beautiful notebook for several classes in a row.

She was planning her runaway plan, deciding which items to bring.

【All the saved money】

【Seven sets of clothes for changing】

【Phone card】

【Towels】

【Toothbrush, toothpaste】

【Small mirror】

【Lip balm】

【Compass】

【Fruit knife】

【Canned fruits (bring more peach)】

【A family photo of the three】

【School bag, stationery, textbooks】

While Mei Fang watched Xia Yuan change the number of clothes from 2 sets to 7 sets and wrote down a bunch of ridiculous equipment, he couldn’t help but comment after class:

“Since we’re not going camping, why are you bringing a compass?”

“What if we go to a faraway place and don’t know which way to go? We might need it when we get there…”

“You actually planning to bring textbooks?”

Xia Yuan said seriously, “After all, we’re just pretending to run away from home. We can’t fall behind on our schoolwork…”

“Just bring money, that’s enough.”

Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan casually, “By the way, how much money do you have saved?”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, propping her cheek, “I’ve saved the red envelope money from relatives and my allowance. During the Chinese New Year, I counted it and I have… about 6,000 yuan?”

“6,000?”

Although Mei Fang had a feeling that Xia Yuan had quite a bit of savings, this number still surprised her a bit.

This is 2005! 2005! 6,000 yuan is enough to buy 1 square meter of land in Pengcheng!

Mei Fang crossed out some unnecessary things that Xia Yuan brought and told her to only bring 200 yuan.

After all, they weren’t really running away for a long time, so it didn’t make much sense to bring so much money.

Today, Xia Yuan’s mother, Teacher Yu, had a normal class. She was a Chinese teacher.

Apart from speaking quieter in class, she appeared calm and maintained a very dignified image.

Compared to other homeroom teachers, she always seemed so amiable. Of course, this also meant that she had a hard time controlling some troublesome students in the class, but overall, the students liked and respected her.

Mei Fang still remembered that when their family of three passed away, the students in their class spontaneously organized to attend their funeral.

The last class was physical education. Before class, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang discussed something.

“After school today, let’s tell Lin Youxi about this plan.”

“Hey, are you crazy? Why would we tell her?”

“Do you remember when you guys used to play games behind my back? That made me upset for a long time.”

Xia Yuan explained, “If the two of us keep such a big secret from her this time, Lin Youxi will definitely be sad.”

“It’s not that I’m worried about whether Lin Youxi will be sad or not…”

Mei Fang sighed, “If you tell her, she will definitely——”

“I want to run away from home with you guys!”

After hearing the whole story, Lin Youxi made her decision.

I knew it!

Mei Fang quickly stopped her, “You can’t come with us. You have to be our insider.”

“Insider?” Lin Youxi tilted her head in confusion.

“If I run away from home with Xia Yuan, we need a way to understand the situation here, just in case they are not looking for us or if things get out of hand. You can tell us, or tell our parents where we went.”

“Why isn’t Mei Fang the one to do it…”

Lin Youxi complained, “Can’t I run away from home with Xia Yuan?”

Xia Yuan hurriedly interjected, “Lin Youxi, I think Mei Fang is right. After all, he is a boy, so it would be more convenient for him to do certain things…”

“Just because he is a boy!” Lin Youxi frowned, “If he runs away from home with you, wouldn’t that be no different from eloping?”

“Elop… eloping!”

Xia Yuan blushed when she heard Lin Youxi’s words, and it took her a while to react. She stammered to explain:

“It’s not eloping! We are elementary students! How could we do something that is not acceptable!”

“Actually, if we change our perspective, I can completely remove myself from the equation.”

Mei Fang pondered, resting his chin on his hand, “For example, I could be chasing after Xia Yuan, trying to persuade her to come back. I could be the helpful and brave good student, and maybe even be awarded as the county’s top student this year, giving a speech in front of the whole school.”

“Mei Fang!”

Lin Youxi got angry, “We are trying our best to help Xia Yuan solve the crisis. Can you be serious?”

“I am serious.”

Mei Fang said, “Otherwise, if Xia Yuan and I run away together, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble when explaining to the school and parents.”

“Lin Youxi, I think Mei Fang has a point… Let’s go with this plan! I don’t want people to say that I am eloping with Mei Fang…”

“Xia Yuan, why is your face suddenly so red?”

Lin Youxi touched Xia Yuan’s face with concern, “It’s so hot, are you running a fever?”

“N-No! Help me think about what else we need to bring…”

Mei Fang watched Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan interact eagerly, feeling a mix of emotions.

Clearly, Lin Youxi was still a naive child who didn’t think much, while Xia Yuan had more thoughts in her little mind.

“Oh, right… Besides the things you need to prepare, have you planned where you will go and how long you will be gone?”

“Oh, I haven’t considered that…” Xia Yuan became conflicted.

“Don’t worry!”

Mei Fang smiled, “Rely on me, I have everything planned.”
