The name Ava Lin was not unfamiliar to Julian Mei when he was in school.
In any public occasion in high school, Ava Lin would speak on stage as a student representative.
As she has always been the top student in her grade, she has always been ranked first on the list of study stars. Because they are in the next class, Julian Mei can always run into Ava Lin.
This is a super female academic who has a very cold personality and gives off an aloof aura that keeps strangers away. Julian Mei had never spoken a word to her in his previous life, so naturally there was no intersection between them.
Who would have thought that she would be so naughty in kindergarten?
What on earth did she go through during those years...
How curious.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when school was over, the outside of the classroom was crowded with parents who came to pick up their children. They walked into the classroom one by one, greeted the teacher, and then took their children home.
Julian Mei recognized his father Mei Lijun with thick hair at a glance. Apart from that, his appearance didn't seem to have changed much from 20 years ago, except for a few fewer wrinkles.
But today he wet his pants and had a nosebleed, so there was no chance of him being taken away directly.
Ava Lin's parents arrived late and were also kept back - they were a thin man wearing glasses.
After all, Ava Lin had some friction with Julian Mei today, so you should know that Ava Lin's father kept apologizing to Mei Lijun with a very sincere attitude. Although Ava Lin was held by his father's hand, he lowered his head and did not speak.
Parents of this era are accustomed to their children's bumps and bruises, and there will be no disputes as long as they inform each other.
Julian Mei's father, Mei Lijun, even came up and gave Julian Mei a slap in the face.
"You wet the bed in kindergarten again. You are so young, but you have made your father lose face!"
"Hey, Julian Mei's father, stop hitting him, stop hitting him. Why do you hit a child? He didn't mean it."
Teacher Li tried to persuade her, but Julian Mei didn't say a word even when being beaten. Seeing that the child wasn't crying and making a fuss like in the past, Mei Lijun suddenly felt bored and had to drag Julian Mei back home on his motorcycle.
If you think about it carefully, besides the lack of strength, this 5-year-old body still has a lot of problems...
I thought I could have a good rest at home, but after returning home, my mother Xiang Xiaoxia learned about Julian Mei's glorious deeds. She was so angry that she picked up a clothes hanger and beat Julian Mei again.
Mei Lijun saw his wife beating the child so hard, and immediately tried to dissuade her: "Honey, that's enough. I've already beaten him in the classroom. If you continue beating him like this, the child will remember the grudge."
"What are you afraid of? I'm his biological mother! Besides, he's so young, he'll have forgotten everything when he grows up."
Forget your sister! I was really touched by this couple of parents...
Julian Mei doubted very much how she grew up healthily. It was really outrageous that there was no shadow left by her original family.
Compared with dad, whose hair volume only changed, mom Xiang Xiaoxia seemed to have changed a lot. Her spanking hands were very slender and her face had almost no wrinkles.
Julian Mei seemed to realize for the first time that his nagging old mother who always urged him to go on blind dates was actually quite beautiful when she was young.
Time is merciless...
Today, Julian Mei was no longer crying and willful as usual. After being beaten, she just yelled a few words but didn't cry. After that, she kept eating and watching TV in silence.
Mei Lijun was picking his teeth on the sofa after dinner. Seeing Julian Mei constantly changing channels, he suddenly became curious and asked, "Why aren't you watching cartoons today? Isn't that the Beyblade you like the most?"
"I'm tired of watching this. Only children watch this."
Julian Mei switched to the sports channel and saw that the TV station was broadcasting a football match program. Looking at the content, Julian Mei suddenly came back to his senses.
"Dad, is there a World Cup game going on right now?"
"You still care about this?"
Julian Mei paused and then nodded, "This is the most remarkable moment for our national team."
"Yes, you can understand these things."
In Julian Mei's memory, his father has always been a die-hard football fan, often getting up in the middle of the night to watch the game. Obviously, he could not hide his excitement:
"You know, this year our Football Association said we should strive to win a game, get a point, and score a goal. That's really disappointing!"
"Because this is our first time to enter the World Cup, I think this goal is reasonable."
"What the hell is reasonable? This is too narrow-minded! With the strength we showed in the qualifying round, Godzilla can't just play against Liga. This is the second time for the local chickens to enter the World Cup. It's not too much to draw, right? At most, we can't lose to Samba. After all, they are the kingdom of football, we should respect them..."
Mei Lijun was very dissatisfied with his son's complicated expression, "Can't you just listen carefully? Why do you look like you don't believe your father's professional prediction?"
"Dad, let's make a bet. If our national team can't qualify, you give me 100 yuan." Julian Mei showed his wolfish ambition as a reborn character.
"What do you need so much money for, kid?"
Mei Lijun was furious and hit Julian Mei's head viciously.
"As a Chinese man, how can you have so little confidence in the national team! This is the first time in 44 years that our national football team has entered the World Cup. Sun Xiaohai is a fierce player playing in the Premier League, our General Fan is even more brave and invincible, and that guy is our Dongzhou's top striker. There is no doubt that this is the beginning of a legend and the first step of a great journey!"
"If you don't gamble with 100 yuan, how about 50 yuan?"
Julian Mei was still not giving up, "The game is tomorrow, right? Let's bet that Godzilla will lose the first game."
"Why would a kid bet so much money? He's only betting 10 yuan with you at most."
Meilijun thought for a moment and said, "If you lose, you won't be allowed to buy snacks or toys for a month."
"Okay..." Julian Mei acted reluctantly, thinking to himself, 10 yuan for so much, Dad, you are really a ruthless person.
Julian Mei watched some TV news to review the current environment, then her mother urged her to go to bed and start thinking about her own money-making plan.
Children are always accompanied by their parents when they are picked up and dropped off at kindergarten. They need adults’ permission to go out and play, and they can only play with nearby children in the park within the community.
Fortunately, it is already June, and he will become an elementary school student in less than a month of summer vacation. Elementary school students from ordinary families in the county are basically free to go wherever they want to play, and their freedom will be increased to a higher level, so that they can do what they want.
However, before entering primary school, Julian Mei has one thing he cannot miss - that is the World Cup lottery.
Julian Mei, who has returned after 20 years, cannot miss the code of wealth that is within his reach.
The next morning at around six o'clock, Julian Mei was woken up by her family to go to school.
"You dressed yourself today? That's great, kid."
Xiang Xiaoxia rubbed Julian Mei's round head and said in confusion, "It seems that after Zizi wet the bed yesterday, he seemed to have become a different person. He didn't cry when I hit him. He is so strong."
Meilijun nodded and said with a deep feeling, "Maybe this is what growth is."
In fact, Julian Mei thought that after some time, her family would slowly get used to her independence. Fortunately, her parents did not doubt the changes in Julian Mei, and most people could not even imagine this.
But you can't be too distracted and should act like a child.
Riding on her father's motorcycle, Mei arrived at the kindergarten gate and stretched out her hand to her father.
"Dad, give me a dollar. I want to buy a lollipop."
"Well, your true colors are exposed." Meilijun frowned and said, "You behaved so well today, it turns out you did it to ask for food."
"I didn't eat it myself. I made Lucas Xia cry yesterday, so I brought it here to apologize."
"Lucas Xia... is she the girl who lives in the same neighborhood as us and lives in the courtyard? How did you get together with her? Didn't you say before that you don't play with girls?"
Meilijun pinched his son's face and said, "You kid, have you thought it through now and are attracted to her again?"
Julian Mei pushed aside his father's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the money quickly."
"How dare you talk to your father! You're so bold to pay 1 yuan for a lollipop!"
Julian Mei was hit hard again.
Despite the beating, Mei Lijun still took Julian Mei to the store in front of the kindergarten to buy a 50-cent strawberry-flavored Alves lollipop to show his magnanimity as a father.
Tsk... I was planning to pretend that I bought it and save the money, but the plan failed.
Julian Mei was one of the few students who arrived at the kindergarten earlier, but Lucas Xia and Ava Lin arrived even earlier. They both seemed to be playing with handicrafts at their seats early in the morning.
It turns out that Lucas Xia and Ava Lin are good friends, and they seem to have a good relationship...
Julian Mei didn't go over to sit down, but when he saw him enter the classroom, Lucas Xia also trotted over.
"Julian Mei, Julian Mei, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I want to apologize to you."
"Apologize? What are you apologizing for..."
Lucas Xia said seriously: "My mother said that I always cry for no reason. No one will like me when I grow up. I have to correct my shortcomings."
Lucas Xia put his hands behind his back and twisted his body shyly, then stretched out his hands, holding a paper crane in his palms, "This is the paper crane I folded, I want to give it to you."
...
This is a pink paper crane. The head of the crane is painted red, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it.
Julian Mei suddenly felt emotional when he thought about the fact that no girl had ever given him a gift in his previous life.
"Thank you..."
"Also... Ava Lin pushed you yesterday. She secretly told me that it was careless, so she also wanted to apologize to you."
Julian Mei looked up at Ava Lin who was standing next to Lucas Xia. She lowered her head as if she was thinking about something. She looked up only after Lucas Xia gently touched her arm. She handed the thing to Julian Mei, looked up and said softly, "I'm sorry," and then quickly ran behind Lucas Xia.
Isn't this a good way to communicate?
Are you embarrassed in front of adults?
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind."
The college bully from my previous life begged for my forgiveness in a humble manner, and I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction!
Julian Mei suddenly fell silent.
How come I am just this little bit...
Ava Lin also folded a thousand paper cranes, but these were blue, wrinkled and dirty, and it was obvious that she had folded them repeatedly many times before she succeeded.
Julian Mei didn't care too much about this. He remembered what was in his pocket and handed the lollipop to Lucas Xia.
"By the way, this is the lollipop I promised you yesterday."
"You actually still remember it, I had completely forgotten it!" Lucas Xia took the lollipop from Julian Mei, looking excited.
"Isn't this a done deal?"
Ava Lin on the side looked at the lollipop quietly, as if thinking about something.
"Well, now that everyone has reconciled, we can be good friends again!"
"Good friends? When..."
Lucas Xia did not notice Julian Mei's doubt. She just pulled Julian Mei's hand, two dimples appeared on her face, and a smile as bright as the rising sun emerged.
"Julian Mei, Julian Mei, can we do that pinky promise we made yesterday again?"
"I don't care. What do you want to agree to this time?"
Lucas Xia stretched out his right little finger and hooked it on Julian Mei's little finger, then he pulled Julian Mei in front of Ava Lin.
"Ava Lin, are you coming too?"
...
Julian Mei read a hint of reluctance in Ava Lin's eyes, but still followed obediently.
Sure enough, she was only forced to open the business at the request of a good friend...
Come to think of it, when she pushed me yesterday, could it be because she was jealous of my good relationship with Lucas Xia?
When I think about it this way, I suddenly feel that it's a little cute hahaha...
The three children intertwined their fingers, and then Lucas Xia expressed her wish:
"From now on, we can't quarrel anymore and we must always be good friends!"
"Make a pinky promise~hang yourself~for a hundred years~no change!"
Feeling the remaining warmth from his fingertips, Julian Mei suddenly felt inexplicably upset.
In his previous life, he had been single since birth until he died suddenly at work. He thought that no girl had ever cared about him.
But this Lucas Xia seems to like me quite a lot...even though she's just a kid.
According to Julian Mei's father, he only played with boys in the past. Although Lucas Xia lived in the same community as him and was very close to him, they were not actually any closer.
Moreover, Julian Mei moved when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Maybe that was when we completely lost contact?
In other words, this childhood sweetheart with whom I could have had a closer relationship, but for some unknown reason, I missed out on that opportunity unknowingly.
Of course, there are dozens or even hundreds of people who have missed their chance in life for various reasons, but Julian Mei now has the thinking and experience of an adult.
Once you meet your destined person, you will never let him/her go.
As for Lucas Xia's words---
Although she is a good girl who keeps saying what her mom said, she is also quite cute haha...
Well...the future is promising!
