Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 43: You Absolutely Cant Lie to Me



Chapter 43: You Absolutely Cant Lie to Me

The conversation was divided into two parts. Mei Fang ran hurriedly with Lin Youxis shoes, chasing after her all the way. However, Lin Youxi kept leaving Mei Fang behind and didnt respond no matter how Mei Fang called out to her.

She can still run so fast even wearing slippers. Is this the advantage of having long legs? What about the dignity of being a reborn person? Dont I even get a little buff?

Fortunately, Lin Youxi finally stopped.

Because she tripped and fell.

Mei Fang quickly caught up and carefully helped Lin Youxi up. At this moment, she kept sobbing, and Mei Fang didnt know if it was because she was crying from the pain of falling or because she was crying about Mei Fang moving.

Are you okay, Lin Youxi? Did you hurt anywhere? Let me see

Just as Mei Fang finished speaking, Lin Youxi suddenly became very angry and hit him.

You called me the wrong name!

Although she was still sobbing, Lin Youxi kept hitting Mei Fangs head forcefully. If you want to call me, call me Youxi!

Im sorry, Im sorry, Youxi, please stop hitting me.

Mei Fang endured the beating for a while, then pulled Lin Youxi to sit on the steps nearby and tied her shoelaces for her.

Lin Youxi sobbed and said, After you leave, only Yuan Yuan will help me tie my shoelaces

Dont always rely on others, you have to learn to tie your own shoelaces.

I want to rely on others!

She started being unreasonable again.

Mei Fang didnt really get angry with Lin Youxi, especially since she was sad this time because Mei Fang was moving.

It feels really good to be cared for by someone.

In Mei Fangs previous life, only his parents cared about him.

Cant you not leave Can you persuade Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei, please?

Lin Youxi rubbed her eyes. I dont want you to leave And if Yuan Yuan finds out, she will be even more sad.

Mei Fang couldnt imagine the expression on Xia Yuans face when she found out about this.

In her impression, Xia Yuan had always been a crybaby, crying for every little thing.

She would cry when she fell and got hurt.

She would cry if she didnt do well on a test.

She would cry if mischievous students teased her about discipline.

She would even cry when she saw the national football team lose a game.

Although she was in the fourth grade now, it was easier for her to feel wronged and cry a little less, but she still cried quite a few times during the last runaway incident.

Its really hard to imagine

Mei Fang stared at Lin Youxi, who was sitting next to her, hugging her knees and thinking about something with her head down. Her tears were falling.

She didnt see her cry during dinner just now, but now she was sobbing uncontrollably next to Mei Fang.

Mei Fang took a deep breath and gently pinched Lin Youxis shoulder.

I promise you, I wont leave, Mei Fang said.

I will find a way to stay in Baimei County.

Lin Youxi subconsciously opened her eyes wide.Youre not lying?

Im not lying.

Really not lying?

If Im lying to you, Im a little dog.

Besides that, you have to swallow a thousand needles! You have to go into the oil pan! You have to turn into an ugly monster! And also

Its not your curse is too much, too harsh!

As Lin Youxi spoke, she suddenly stood up again.

She stood in front of Mei Fang, clutching her two small fists.

Mei Fang originally thought she was going to hit him, but after she pounced on him, she hugged Mei Fang tightly.

Ever since I was little, you always lied to me

You can lie to me in the future too.

But this time, only this time, you absolutely cant lie to me.

Um I promise you.

Mei Fang gently patted Lin Youxis back, soothing her emotions.

Absolutely, absolutely, I absolutely wont lie to you.

Moving, it can be said to be the lifelong enemy of all childhood friends.

Countless beautiful friendships between innocent children will become illusions because of the word moving.

Even if they meet again many years later, unless you are the protagonists of a cool novel or an anime plot.

Otherwise, those childhood playmates who used to be intimate and spend time together will either have already married someone else, or have changed their personalities, or become so awkward that even a few words would feel uncomfortable, no longer resembling the innocence of the past.

As Brother Xun[gnfn-1] said:

There is already a layer of lamentably thick wall between us.[gnfn-2]

Because growing up is a momentary thing, whoever misses that moment of shared growth will no longer be a close companion.

You dont know what the other person has experienced, so its difficult to empathize with each other.

In Mei Fangs opinion, having returned to 20 years in the past, if its just for money, its not meaningful.

Mei Fang, oh Mei Fang

You should ask yourself deeply.

What kind of feelings do you have for Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and how do you get along with them?

Are you only friends with them because you cant bear to see Xia Yuans tragedy happen again?

Are you only friends with Lin Youxi out of pity for her not having a mother?

None of these.

Ever since Xia Yuan started clamoring to pinky-swear with you, youve already developed affection for them.

Their personalities, their appearances, their every expression deeply captivates you.

You believe that the friendship between you can last a long time.

You have also been working hard to maintain this precious relationship.

Of course, at this stage, its a very pure and genuine friendship

Even so, it is enough to make many people envious.

You should know that some people cant even feel the affection they should naturally receive from family.

I dont want to lose it.

After sending Lin Youxi home, Mei Fang has been thinking about how to stay in Baimei County and protect this fate.

He only came up with one rather immature plan.

That is to use his precious little sister, Mei Ya, whose special status could help Mei Fang achieve the goal of his father not being able to go to Baizhou City.

However, whether his father eventually finds out if it was his own doing or not, abandoning his fathers future career within the system would go against his original intention of wanting his family to have a better life after his rebirth.

After some contemplation, he ultimately gave up on this idea.

He couldnt possibly sacrifice family for the sake of friendship and become a filial son who betrays the greater good, right?

But to be honest, moving, selling the house, and buying a new house are still far from being realized, after all, it is something that will happen next year.

There is still a lot of time before that.

Hmm, lets leave it at that for now

As Mei Fang lay in bed, preparing to sleep, he closed his eyes, and scenes of Lin Youxi hugging him involuntarily played in his mind.

He could feel the deep reluctance in Lin Youxi, her heart pounding so fast, as if it were still beating in his chest.

Tsk

Dang it!

Im already a 26+3-year-old adult, why am I twisting around on the bed like a worm because a girl hugged me!? Its like I wasted my previous life for nothing!

It must be because of this body, yeah!

Mei Fang is desperately finding excuses for himself.

Early the next morning, Mei Fang had just walked a few steps out of the house when he saw a petite figure standing at the entrance of the neighborhood.

She was carrying the dual-shoulder Sakura Kinomoto backpack and watching the direction Mei Fang appeared.

Mei Fang was still thinking about how to explain this to Xia Yuan, would Lin Youxi have called Xia Yuans house last night and told her everything?

Just as Mei Fang was worrying, Xia Yuan made cute gestures towards Mei Fang and waved at him.

Mei Fang was still thinking about how to explain things properly to Xia Yuan but did Lin Youxi call Xia Yuans house last night and tell her everything?

Ah Fang!

Mei Fang walked up to Xia Yuan, Are you waiting for me?

Lets go to school together, Ah Fang!

Isnt your dad not taking you to school anymore?

Xia Yuan nodded, I talked to my dad, he has been busy with selling the business recently, so he agreed.

She said as she shook her backpack, and then she grabbed the shoulder strap of the backpack and smiled at Mei Fang:

Ah Fang, lets go to school together every day from now on?

Huh? Why so suddenly

Its not sudden, Xia Yuan pouted and said, this is what childhood friends usually do!
