Chapter 6: Not Unwilling

Mei Fang immediately told his father, Mei Lijun, about buying lottery tickets. Of course, he didnt mention that the money came from Xia Yuan, but rather that he saved up his New Years money.

Although most of the childrens New Years money would be confiscated by their parents since they were young, parents would still symbolically give their children some pocket money.

Although Mei Lijun was surprised that his son dared to buy lottery tickets, he didnt say anything. He just asked Mei Fang which four teams he bought, and when he heard that Mei Fang wanted to go claim the prize himself, Mei Lijun couldnt help but laugh.

What kind of ranking did you buy? How can you win with such random choices? What a waste of money. You should have asked your dad for guidance. Can a team like South Korea make it to the top four? Think about it.

Dad, dont be so conceited. What if I win?

If you win, should I call you dad? Haha. Mei Lijun patted Mei Fangs head, teasing him.

Dad, dont be so childish. Mei Fang pushed away Mei Lijuns hand. If I really win, just give me some money.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Why not ask for it all? This is the lottery ticket you bought with a large sum of money. If you win, its all yours.

Mei Fang thought to himself, I dont believe you. If adults really took childrens promises seriously, valued their thoughts, and took care of their emotions, then why are there so many problems in families?

Speaking of which, even if he really asked for the money, would they just use the excuse of saving it for him and forget about it later?

Mei Fang thought for a moment. Then how about this I want you to buy me something.

Okay, if you really win, Ill buy you whatever you want!

After a period of time, two weeks after Mei Fangs rebirth, the most important event that happened during this period was the elimination of the national football team. This led to a period of depression everywhere, from home to the neighborhood.

Of course, the adjustment in kindergarten was quick. Without any national football programs to watch, the children returned to their usual excitement. It was also during this time that Mei Fang truly realized how terrifying children could be.

After disputes over toys, the children would slap each other and even bite each others faces. When the teacher arrived, the one who started the trouble would cry first, pretending to be innocent.

During mealtime, there would always be children who didnt eat properly. Mischievous children would scoop meatballs from their classmates bowls and secretly sprinkle uneaten food on the ground.

Some children liked to stick tape on their faces and then pull it off, making monkey-like sounds with their teeth showing.

Monkey Steals the Peach was a despicable trick often used by boys during playtime, and sometimes Mei Fang, who innocently passed by, would be pranked by them.

This made Mei Fang feel extremely desperate.

How can he plan grand life goals while staying with this group of monsters and demons!

Similar with the picture of Human joys and sorrows are not the same. I just think they are noisy.jpg[1] with Mei Fang sitting in the middle.

And the most outstanding among them is the future academic overachiever, Lin Youxi.

She was the teachers focus of attention in kindergarten.

She liked to suddenly stand up when the teacher was teaching with their back turned, and then sit down when the teacher turned around;

When she was eating, she would suddenly raise her legs very high, as if practicing a split;

Everyone was preparing for nap time, but she was the only one playing with water by the sink;

Lin Youxi, sit properly!

Lin Youxi, stop being mischievous!

Lin Youxi, behave!

She closed the magazine and looked out the window boredly.

Why havent your parents come yet? Its so hard to wait

By now, the sky was already very dark, and Lin Youxi, who had been eagerly looking at the rainy scene outside, hung her head and sat down, like a sleepy little animal waiting for its prey for a long time.

She had never been this quiet before.

After a while, the sound of a motorcycle came from outside the classroom. Lin Youxi, like a little rabbit with its ears perked up, immediately jumped up and looked outside, but after a while, she sat down again, disappointed.

It was Mei Fangs dad, Mei Lijun, who had arrived.

Damn the rain is really heavy today. Teacher Li, sorry to trouble you. Mei Fang didnt get lost, did he?

Teacher Li finally had the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction: I mean, you parents really should come earlier next time to pick up your children. Its almost time for the evening news.

You can still go back to watch it.

Its too late, theres still one more

Teacher Li quickly walked up to Lin Youxi, I just called your dad again and no one answered. Why dont you come home with me first?

This Teacher Li was never gentle in class, and he criticized Lin Youxi the most. Lin Youxi didnt even want to go to Xia Yuans house, let alone hers.

What do you suggest then? I cant just keep waiting here with you, right?

The teachers words carried a hint of impatience, which was very sensitive to the children, especially to a child like Lin Youxi.

At this moment, Mei Fang noticed that Lin Youxis eyes were already slightly red.

Mei Fang stopped Mei Lijun, who was about to take him home, Dad, Lin Youxis dad didnt come. Can we take her home with us?

You little rascal

Mei Lijun glanced at Lin Youxi, who was lying on the table, and then sighed, I dont mind, but Teacher Li, what do you think?

If Lin Youxi is willing to go with you, I have no objections. Just let her dad contact you proactively.

So the key is Lin Youxi

Lin Youxi was already shaking her head frantically even before finishing their words.

At this moment, Mei Fang took the initiative to persuade Lin Youxi, The kindergarten is about to close, and theres thunder outside. If you dont want to go home with us to my house, then youll have to go home with Teacher Li.

Mei Fang presented Lin Youxi with a choice. Compared to going home with Teacher Li, who always scolded her, he believed that Lin Youxi would at least be closer to him.

However, Lin Youxi didnt immediately respond, she just lowered her head and remained silent.

If you dont want to, then Ill go home first, okay?

As soon as Mei Fang turned around, Lin Youxi tightly grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.

With her head lowered, Lin Youxi spoke in a pitiful and weak voice.

I dont mind! I Ill go with you, to to your house.
