Chapter 16: Because I Myself am in the Mountain

Rain falls all night

My love overflows like rainwater

Leaves fall in the courtyard

My longing piles up thickly

A few words of gossip

Cannot cool down my passion

You appear on every page of my poetry

The time came to the summer and autumn of 2005. It was the era when Allens golden songs dominated the Chinese music scene, and the title President Chou began to be mentioned by countless people.

At the age of 9, Mei Fang officially entered the fourth grade.

At that crossroad where choices had never been made in the previous life, Mei Fang persuaded his parents to let him attend the audio-visual class taught by Teacher Yu, who was also Xia Yuans mother, under the pretext of wanting to learn more about computer.

During her elementary school years, Xia Yuan was still liked by her classmates, not only because of her identity as Teacher Yus daughter, but also because of her angelic personality and sweet and lovely appearance, which made her a topic of conversation.

Of course, she did not disappoint her mothers expectations in her studies. As the Chinese language study committee member, her Chinese language grades ranked among the top in the class, but she was a bit weak in math.

During this period, Teacher Yu implemented a mutual learning assistance group plan in the class, and Xia Yuan became desk mates with a student who excelled in math, achieving the goal of mutual assistance.

Its time for morning reading, no sleeping in, lets start memorizing.

Xia Yuan nudged Mei Fang, who was dozing off on the desk, until he moved.

Sigh time passes too quickly.

Mei Fang lazily yawned and reluctantly took out his textbook.

Although it had been three years since his rebirth, Mei Fang still couldnt get used to waking up at six or seven in the morning.

Did you stay up late playing games again last night?

Mei Fang propped his cheek and stared blankly at the textbook, still in a dazed state, which made Xia Yuan a little angry.

Im telling you, even if your grades are good, you cant be so lazy. Learning is like rowing against the current, if you dont advance, youll fall back. Look, last time you only got 99 points in math, which is a big step back from always getting 100 points before.

Will you stop bothering me if I finish memorizing todays content?

Mei Fang flipped through the Chinese textbook, It seems like I only need to memorize two poems today?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

During the morning reading time, elementary students had the task of reciting poems and texts. The person who finished reciting the poems in front of the teacher had the authority to check other students recitations.

Dont underestimate just two poems, its not easy to memorize

As the class representative, Xia Yuan had already memorized the poems from her mother the night before, I spent an hour memorizing them last night!

Whats so difficult about it? Ill recite it for you now.

Mei Fang closed the textbook and thought for a moment before speaking.

A strip of waters spread in the setting sun,

Half the rivers emerald, half is red.

I love the third night of the ninth month,

As long as he can avoid the tragedy from happening again,

After school, the elementary students of Baimei County would choose to organize teams, with the person living farthest from school usually being the captain.

Captain Lu has a road sign prepared by the school with the word Give Way on it. The students in the same class line up in an orderly manner and can only leave the team and go home when they are close to home.

When Mei Fang and Xia Yuan return to the residential area, they dont go to their own homes. Mei Fang will stay at Xia Yuans house to complete their homework together and stay there for a while before going home.

Your dad seems to be coming home late these days.

Yeah, hes been busy with the hotel business lately

Xia Yuan was contemplating a math problem, and seeing her worried expression, Mei Fang leaned over to take a look.

Havent I taught you this question many times before? Here, use the method of trapezoidal approximation. You place the area here, and it becomes a trapezoid

I know youve taught me many times

Xia Yuan sighed silently, But I just cant figure out that one point.

Fourth grade is a hurdle for many elementary students. Maybe they have been doing well in grades one, two, and three, with simple teaching content that can be achieved by being diligent.

In the fourth grade, the gap in math scores will gradually become apparent because there are more and more knowledge points to learn, and the difficulty is constantly increasing. Some elementary students may find it more difficult to study, and Xia Yuan is obviously one of them.

But if you really cant do it, why not just leave it blank? Dont force yourself.

You cant think like that.

Xia Yuan shook her head, I am a model student, an example for everyone to learn from, and I am also the homeroom teachers daughter. If I dont work hard, everyone will think that I am relying on my moms authority to play the role of a good student

Xia Yuans burden of being an idol is as heavy as ever. Mei Fang sighed and said:

There are many ways in life, and you dont have to be a good role model. The most important thing is to live happily.

Thats true but I really like that feeling.

Also

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and continued, You know, Mei Fang, the reason why I have always liked playing with you since we were young is because you are really different from other boys.

What do you mean?

Most of them only know how to play cards, play games, fight, show off, and bully girls, but you dont do that.

Have I never bullied you?

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuans head, Look, I often do things like this too.

That doesnt count as bullying. Many boys have such childish behavior, like drawing on girls clothes, pulling girls braids you wouldnt do that.

What about this?

Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuans cheek, Does this count as bullying you?

Dont push it, you big idiot!

Annoyed, Xia Yuan also pinched back, and as they pinched each others silly faces, both of them couldnt help but burst into laughter.

In the slanting sunset, the two little ones were innocent and carefree.
