After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 58 Yuan-gege is really good at this! (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets~)

Over the past three years, Xu Yuan has devoted a lot of effort to tutoring Xia Ke's studies, and has studied all kinds of books on child psychology available on the market.

Hard work pays off. Over the past three years, Xia Ke's grades have improved by leaps and bounds, finally going from being in the bottom 20 of the class to being in the top 20.

Of course, Xia Ke herself also had concerns about not wanting to be separated from Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao.

However, Xu Yuan believes that his dedicated tutoring and various special training sessions on delayed gratification and self-control were the key to Xia Ke's academic improvement.

Xia Ke's father was overjoyed that she ranked in the top 20 this time. He also kept his promise to Xia Ke before the final exams. At the beginning of summer vacation, Xia Lei took Xia Ke to buy her a fantastic bike—a Giant mountain bike that had recently become popular in the county.

"Ta-da! Here's my bicycle!"

In the afternoon, everyone went to Xia Ke's house. Xia Ke brought out her newly bought bicycle and showed it off to her friends.

"How about that? Pretty cool, right?"

"It's pretty cool. It's the first time I've ever seen a bicycle with such thick tires."

Lin Yueyao asked curiously, "But why doesn't your bike have a back seat? Adult bicycles all have back seats, right?"

“My dad said that mountain bikes are the embodiment of speed, so they don’t need a back seat, and he doesn’t let me install one.”

Xia Ke stretched, her clothes billowing up slightly, revealing her smooth waistline. "But... I don't need to ride that fast. I want to take you guys for a ride, so I plan to get one installed at the store next time. We won't tell my dad."

Old Deng doesn't want you to play the backseat, not because he really wants you to pursue speed, but because he wants you to guard against someone like me, Little Deng.

However, perhaps due to her father's influence, Xia Ke has been interested in all kinds of vehicles since she was a child.

When she was in kindergarten, she was obsessed with rocking cars and scooters. After meeting Xu Yuan, she would ride her scooter every day. It's only natural that she's now interested in bicycles.

Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao accompanied Xia Ke as she pushed her bicycle to the Cultural Square. The square's smooth stone path was a great place to practice riding.

"Okay, let's start practicing driving now!"

Xia Ke's bicycle didn't have a back seat, so Xu Yuan couldn't help push it from behind. The two children just rode and ran alongside Xia Ke.

"Control your balance and don't keep wobbling the front of your car."

"Ouch, ouch ouch ouch ouch—"

Xia Ke fell several times in a row. Although she got up immediately each time she fell and tried her best, she was still just a human.

"My butt hurts so much."

While rubbing her bottom, Xia Ke whined and complained to Xu Yuan, "My bottom is all broken into four pieces."

"Really? Let me see."

"I'd be a dog if I lied! I'll show you—"

Xia Ke, with her back to Xu Yuan, was about to loosen her pants to show him when Lin Yueyao, blushing, quickly stammered and moved away from them, "What are you two doing? This is a square!"

"It's not like looking at a picture will cause any harm."

Xu Yuan teased Lin Yueyao on purpose, saying, "It's not like you'll lose a piece of your flesh."

"That's right."

Xia Ke nodded, "I've seen the young master's butt before, when he was a child and taking a bath at my house—"

"If I say no, I just can't!"

Lin Yueyao puffed out her cheeks in anger, "We're not little kids anymore. We can't just let boys see girls' butts. That's... very bad."

"Okay, just kidding."

Xu Yuan chuckled and pinched Lin Yueyao's nose. "Your brother Yuan wouldn't have so many bad intentions, would he?"

"Oh, you're not watching anymore? Okay..."

Xia Ke pulled up her pants. "I won't show you anymore once the swelling goes down in a little while."

It is clear that Lin Yueyao has gradually developed a sense of gender and has begun to care about interactions between boys and girls.

This change didn't just happen during the summer vacation. Yueyao hadn't taken the initiative to hold his hand for quite some time, and she rarely even tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Although Yueyao is no longer the clingy little follower she used to be, when Xu Yuan sometimes touches her hand or holds her hand, she doesn't say things like "We can't hold hands now."

She chose to let Xu Yuan lead her, her head drooping and her face flushed, looking very cute with her shyness.

With Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao by her side, Xia Ke persevered and continued practicing, and finally managed to ride her bike forward a short distance.

"Learning to ride a bicycle is really not easy!" Xia Ke rubbed her arm and said with a grin, "But once I've learned to ride a bicycle, I can teach you guys."

Xu Yuan said, "You're too impatient. There's no trick to this. You just need to practice more and fall a few more times to get it."

"It's not that simple! Young Master, give it a try."

Xia Ke retorted defiantly, "If you can learn faster than me, I'll acknowledge you as my father!"

"You said it yourself." Xu Yuan rode his bicycle smoothly in circles around the square, gliding gracefully past Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao, leaving the two little ones mesmerized.

"Young master, young master, your family has never even owned a bicycle before, how do you know how to ride one!"

"That's probably what talent is."

The despicable reborn Xu Yuan tapped Xia Ke on the head, "We made a promise, right? Call me Daddy now."

"Dad, how did you learn so fast? Dad, Dad! Teach me, Dad."

Xia Ke swayed back and forth on Xu Yuan's arm, her big eyes blinking as she stared intently at him, her gaze filled with curiosity.

This……

They don't seem to care at all; they're really not experiencing anything!
It's more fun to wait until she's older before she calls me "Dad".

The group practiced cycling outside, getting all sweaty from the sun.

As the children were returning home, they ran into their father, Xu Jingguang, driving home. Xia Ke hurriedly approached Xu Jingguang, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, I have something very, very important to ask you!"

"What's wrong... Look how sweaty you all are."

"Did you teach the young master to ride a bicycle? He practiced with me today and learned to ride on his own in no time. He's absolutely amazing!"

Lin Yueyao chimed in, "Brother Yuan is really good at this!"

"Is he that amazing, son..."

Xu Jingguang smiled and said, "Then why don't you buy a bicycle too, so you can all ride bicycles to school from now on?"

When he said this, Lin Yueyao suddenly felt a little nervous, because she knew she definitely wouldn't let her mother buy her a new bicycle.

At this moment, Xu Yuan waved his hand, "That won't be necessary. The school is only this far away, and now you can only buy a children's bike. You'll have to get a new bike when you go to middle school, which is too much trouble."

"Ah...that's true! I'll buy one in the future."

Xia Ke immediately showed a regretful expression, "If I had known, I would have asked Dad to buy a cheaper one!"

"Alright, you lot, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and talk..."

"Look at you all, all sweaty! Go wash your faces and hands, it's time to eat!"

"Brother Xu, you should go wash up too... no, wait a minute."

Lin Jing suddenly leaned in and sniffed Xu Jingguang, then looked at him with a questioning expression: "Have you been drinking today?"

“How could that be? I drove back, and the checks are so strict now,” Xu Jingguang said. “But someone was drinking when I was having lunch, and it might have spilled on my clothes.”

"You can't just drink and drive anymore; it's playing with your life."

Lin Jing said seriously, "A while ago on Renmin Avenue, Lu Laoliu, who used to be a tailor, was drunk and hit two people, and they died."

"I know about this..."

Lin Jing and Xu Jingguang quickly got into a casual chat. When Xu Yuan came back after washing his hands, he was already hungry, but it was only 4:50, so he found it strange to eat so early.

"Aunt Jing, why are you cooking so early today?"

Lin Jing then remembered the time. "Oh, I was so busy chatting with your dad that I forgot. Yueyao's uncle is coming back today. I'm taking Yueyao home now. Yueyao, do you remember what Mom told you during the day?"

"Ok, I know."

"Yueyao's uncle?"

Xu Jingguang asked curiously, "I don't think I've ever heard you mention having a younger brother before?"

"Because he is actually my cousin. He used to work in Shenzhen, but in the past two years he has saved up some money and returned to Wuhan to start a clothing business."

Lin Jing said, "His parents passed away relatively early. He used to eat at my house often, and I took good care of him. We've always had a good relationship."

"Then take some sausages with you."

Xu Jingguang said, "I haven't even eaten half of the box of sausages that my friend in Chengdu gave me, but they taste pretty good."

“He’s been in eastern Guangdong for a long time, and Sichuan sausage is too spicy; he probably won’t be used to it.”

"Oh, okay then..."

"Then I'll take Yueyao back first!"

"I'll come over after I finish eating."

Lin Yueyao said goodbye to Xu Yuan and Xia Ke before leaving.

Listening to Lin Jing and Xu Jingguang's conversation, Xia Ke couldn't help but whisper to Xu Yuan:
"Speaking of which, Aunt Jing has been your nanny for almost three years, right?"

Xia Ke asked in a low voice, "Do you think... Uncle Xu will eventually marry Aunt Jing?"
