Chapter 38: Routine

Chapter 38: Routine

Since the incident of running away from home, Xia Yuan has been forbidden to go out alone for a period of time. Usually, her father would pick her up and drop her off for school.

At the same time, Xia Yuans father did fulfill his promise. He hung up banners and notices at the well-known hotel he operated in the county called Baimei Renjia, announcing its temporary closure and transfer of ownership. This restaurant, which had some reputation in Baimei County, was about to change hands.

After confirming this move, Mei Fang was willing to believe that Xia Yuans father really no longer intended to focus on his career, but sincerely wanted to return to the family.

At first, Xia Yuan was naturally very happy. She would tell Mei Fang every day about what her father did with her.

Today, my dad took me shopping!

My dad cooked by himself today, and the food he made was pretty good! Its even better than what my mom makes.

My dad said he wanted to try playing the piano for the first time. Hes really clumsy haha! It took him a long time to learn how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

A month later.

One day, Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan drop her school bag aggressively and rest her cheek on her hand, looking at Mei Fang with a worried expression.

Dad, now Im getting really annoyed.

Mei Fang couldnt help but laugh after hearing that. What did he do to you?

Hes being too controlling! I told him I wanted to come to your house to play this Saturday, but he doesnt agree. He said if I want to play, you can only come to our house. I havent been to your house to play games for almost a month.

Hes just concerned about you.

And also, hes being cautious of menove(l)bi(n.)com

Xia Yuan has always been obedient and sensible, but suddenly she started running away from home.

Parents often like to find external reasons. They believe their own children are the best, and if theres a problem, it must be because someone influenced them.

Mei Fang, who was Xia Yuans best and most opinionated friend, was naturally the prime suspect since he was with Xia Yuan when the incident happened.

Mei Fang didnt feel uncomfortable about it.

After all, he was indeed the mastermind, and the responsibility was overwhelming! However, Teacher Yu still treated him the same as before and didnt change their seating arrangement because of this incident.

Compared to Xia Yuans mother, their relationship with Mei Fang was more of a teacher-student one.

In this regard, Teacher Yu was indeed a good elementary school teacher. It was understandable why the children in her previous life liked her so much.

Xia Yuan had been complaining to Mei Fang about how clingy her father had become, even during class. Finally, Teacher Yu couldnt bear it anymore.

Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, be quiet in class.

We understand.

Mei Fang responded loudly, but Xia Yuan didnt follow along, which was different from her usual habits.

After class, Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan about this matter.

Whats wrong with you?

Xia Yuan shook her head, I didnt do anything.

I feel you and Teacher Yu are also having a disagreement?

Xia Yuan clasped her hands together and pleaded, Im really sorry, can you forgive me?

I wasnt even angry in the first place.

You say youre not angry, you grump Xia Yuan thought for a moment, Then how about I sing for you too?

Mei Fang turned his head and glanced at Xia Yuan, nodding, Alright.

So Xia Yuan cleared her throat, prepared for a while, and started singing to Mei Fang.

Eyelashes curved, eyes blinking

Words at the tip of the tongue, how did they turn

Your eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon

The atmosphere is so romantic, I need your company

Eyelashes curved, eyes blinking

The world of excitement becomes so much fun

Let the wind blow, blow what

Blow the person I fell in love with at first sight

Mei Fang admired Xia Yuans self-expression. Her voice was already very sweet, and she immersed herself in the mood of the song, radiating her own brilliance.

With every frown and smile from Xia Yuan, even when facing Mei Fang, she didnt easily feel shy. Even an unintentional wink made Mei Fang feel a little embarrassed and turn his head away.

Theres no need to make the same movements as the lyrics

Cough, my performance is over. Judge Mei Fang, please give your comments.

Well um

How did I do? Mei Fang? Tell me.

Xia Yuan launched another wink attack!

Good, very good

As the top student in the class, why do you have such a limited vocabulary? Use more idioms to praise me, I wont be arrogant.

Since the last time she told her she could freely express herself, she has really become more and more open

After dealing with Xia Yuan for a while, Mei Fang changed the topic again:

You must have another reason for liking this song, right?

Xia Yuan nodded with a smile, New Years Day is coming soon, and I want to perform this song at the New Years Eve party. Also, the MV of this song has a cute dance routine, and I want to learn it. I have a teaching DVD at home, and I want to dance it with Song Sisi and Lu Yixuan at the party. You and Lin Youxi can be the audience for us.

Well have to go to your house on the weekend, can I not go? Lin Youxi alone should be enough.

Xia Yuan immediately pouted, You didnt come to my house to play last week or the week before. Now youre saying you dont want to go this week. Whats been going on with you lately? Did you make other good friends outside and dont want to tell me?

How is that possible? And usually, Im always at your house doing homework, right?

That doesnt count! Xia Yuan said seriously, Thats just routine matters!
