Chapter 76: Im Fine With It

Middle school girls are still in the process of growth and development, and most of them are quite naive and immature.

However, there are always some girls in the class who mature earlier. They pursue fashion and have a trendy style. At that age, they have a mature charm. In the eyes of most teachers and students, they are the so-called bad girls.

Their intention in dressing up is mostly just because they love to look pretty, not because they want to be bad girls.

Peng Xue was Mei Fangs middle school classmate.

Girls as beautiful as her didnt have much interaction with Mei Fang, who was only interested in games at that time. He was just deeply impressed by Peng Xue, such as how popular she was among the boys in the class.

Peng Xue had good grades in the first year of middle school and was always in the top ten of the class. However, the teachers didnt look at her favorably very much because they thought she had bad study habits and was too focused on her appearance. They often picked on her and caused trouble for her, which gradually led to her rebellious personality.

Over time, she started to pay more and more attention to her appearance. Mei Fang often saw her playing and having fun with some boys and girls who had unique hairstyles and non-mainstream fashions in the school hallway.

During a childs rebellious phase, it was inevitable to have poor grades, clash with the teachers, and ultimately, their parents had to be called in due to some improper relationships with boys.

Peng Xue went through the same process, and afterwards, she completely lost interest in studying. In the end, she even fought with her homeroom teacher in class, causing a big commotion and becoming well-known throughout the school.

At that time, she couldnt continue studying at the school and transferred to another one.

As for her subsequent situation, Mei Fang didnt pay attention to it. He didnt attend any middle school reunions, so naturally, he didnt know.

Becoming friends with such a bad girl naturally made Mei Fang somewhat worried about Xia Yuan.

But no matter what, that was all from his past life. Different circumstances can bring about significant changes in a person. Mei Fang couldnt directly judge the current Peng Xue.

In any case, lets observe first

Mei Fang told Lin Youxi about Xia Yuan buying hand warmers together at night and mentioned that Xia Yuan wanted to bring her new friend along.

Although Lin Youxi initially seemed very reluctant, she eventually nodded and agreed.

Xia Yuan had many friends in elementary school, but they had little interaction with Lin Youxi because whenever Xia Yuan wanted to play, she always brought only Mei Fang along. As for weekends, Xia Yuan was usually busy with extracurricular classes, and the remaining free time was spent with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. It was the first time she would bring another friend along for shopping like this.

But I didnt bring any money with me today. Ill just accompany you guys and when Yuan Yuan asks, tell her that Ive already bought a hand warmer Otherwise, shell definitely want to pay for me again.

I have some.

Mei Fang said as he took out a 100 yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to Lin Youxi. Ill lend it to you first, and you can pay me back later.

Thats okay too.

Lin Youxi took the money from Mei Fang, but seemed a bit absent-minded.

In the evening, after the night self-study, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi packed up their bags and went to the corridor. The students from the adjacent Class 8 were still in their classroom, apparently taking a long time.

Because it was cold in winter, both doors of the classroom were closed, and it was unclear how long they would have to wait outside.

Yuan Yuan and I are not just friends.

Lin Youxi suddenly said coldly.

Ah?

Lin Youxi paused for a moment, then said seriously, Yuan Yuan and I have been childhood friends since kindergarten. We are best friends.

Um, Youxi is right!

Xia Yuan also nodded approvingly with her hands on her hips. Youxi and I are super close, super close best friends. The kind who will never be separated in our lives!

Wow, Im really envious of you three Its like a beautiful relationship that came out of a fairy tale.

Your tone sounds like youre acting in a Taiwanese idol drama!

Mei Fang was slightly put off by Peng Xues somewhat pretentious speech.

Of course, Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi had known each other since childhood, they might not find anything particularly special or strange about their friendship. Perhaps, their friendship was really so beautiful in the eyes of others.

Lets go buy hand warmers now. Xiaoxue, can you guide as to the store?

Sure, sure! I know a store with lots of cute and lovely hand warmers, and they even have ones with cherry blossoms.

Then we definitely have to check it out! Lets go!

Peng Xue and Xia Yuan have similar outgoing personalities. They chatted all the way about their favorite anime characters and stories, appearing very carefree.

On the other hand, Lin Youxi is not a talkative person by nature. She couldnt join in the conversation and slowly walked over to Mei Fangs side.

Mei Fang understood Lin Youxis thoughts and immediately reassured her introverted little friend, I think its better if we hang out separately from Yuan Yuans friends from now on. Otherwise, its a bit awkward when we cant join the conversation, right?

Oh, is it awkward?

Lin Youxi made a somewhat surprised expression. I dont think so, Im fine with it.

Moreover, if its awkward, it shouldnt be me feeling awkward.

Lin Youxis gaze fell on Peng Xue, who was chatting and even holding arms with Xia Yuan.

Ah! Even at this point, Youxi still putting up a tough front!

Mei Fang, a person with the mindset of an adult whos particularly good at observing the atmosphere, was now in a huge crisis

His awkwardness syndrome had flared up!

It was suffocating him!
