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

Chapter 84: Thank You for Today

Not long after Lin Youxi and the Mei family finished dinner, Xia Yuan suddenly dropped by to visit Mei Fangs family.

Of course, her main purpose was to check on Lin Youxi.

Youxi I heard about the situation from Ah Fang over the phone. Are you okay?

Im fine.

Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi and whispered in her ear, If you dont like that aunt, you should bravely tell your dad. Ive seen on TV that many stepmothers are not good to their stepdaughters, or there are issues with dividing family properties when they give birth to children

My family doesnt have much money And my dad said that Aunt Liang cant have a baby, so I dont have to worry about being overlooked or neglected due to the arrival of a second child.

Lin Youxi added, Actually, Aunt Liang has always been good to me. Whenever she comes to visit, she always brings me gifts.

Okay, thats good!

Xia Yuan held Lin Youxis hand and said, If you havent decided whether to accept her or not, next time you have the chance, take me to meet that aunt. I can help you evaluate her.

Okay Ill take you next time.

Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi tightly again and said, I should have been the one to accompany you to sleep tonight But there are just too many people at our house today, Im really sorry.

Its okay Im fine now. Xiaoya is sleeping with me.

Then, will Ah Fang sleep on the sofa?

At this moment, Xia Yuan caught sight of Mei Fang coming to the sofa with a blanket. Mei Fang shrugged, Just as you saw.

The living room is so cold. Ah Fang, make sure to cover yourself well when you sleep tonight. Your birthday is coming up, if you catch a cold, it wont be worth it Let me help you!

Mei Fang was greatly moved after hearing this and pretended to cry, covering his face, In my big family, I cant find anyone who cares for me more than you do, my parents say I can endure the cold.

Ehehe

Xia Yuan hugged the blanket and sweetly said to Mei Fang, Uncle and aunt definitely care for you. They were just joking with you.

She was about to start helping Mei Fang spread the blanket on the sofa when Lin Youxi walked over.

Yuan Yuan, let me help too?

Haha no need, I can handle this little thing by myself.

I can help you finish faster, Lin Youxi reminded, Your family is probably waiting for you to go back.

Okay then.

Watching Lin Youxi actively spreading the blanket, Xia Yuan felt something was a bit strange with her best friend, but she couldnt put her finger on it.

Ill go back first. My mom is probably urging me by now.

Xia Yuan patted Mei Fangs shoulder, Ive already decided on your birthday gift. Im also going to give you a scarf.

No problem.

Mei Fang made an OK gesture, When its your birthday, Ill give you one too.

Youre crazy, my birthday is in the summer. And youre giving me a scarf?

Xia Yuan playfully hit Mei Fang, But Im really looking forward to you giving me something different on my birthday this year!

Well your birthday is still half a year away. We should first consider Youxis birthday gift.

I certainly remember.

Xia Yuan patted Mei Fangs shoulder again, So, is it settled? Bye, Youxi!

Lin Youxi waved goodbye to Xia Yuan, and at that moment, Mei Ya, rubbing her sleepy eyes, walked out from the inner room.

How come I heard Sister Yuan Yuans voice just now Is she also coming to our house tonight to sleep with me? Mei Ya then plunged into Lin Youxis arms.

Oh, its the scent of Sister Youxi

Lin Youxi patted Mei Yas head and chatted with her for a while, then suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Did Yuan Yuan forget something? She always seems to be forgetful Mei Fang ran to open the door and found that the visitor was Lin Guochuan.

Uncle Lin?

Lin Guochuan nodded at Mei Fang and then peeked into the house where Lin Youxi was.

Lin Youxi met her fathers gaze, but quickly looked away and started playing with the still half-asleep Mei Ya.

Uncle Lin, would you like to come in and sit down Ill pour you some tea.

No need Im here to bring Youxi some clothes. I just went to Xia Yuans house, she said Youxi is staying over at your house tonight.

Yes Yuan Yuan has guests at her house today.

At this time, Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia also walked out from the inner room.

Oh, Lao Lin, come in, come in, and have a seat!

Mei Lijun pulled Lin Guochuan into the house, Hurry, Lao Lin, I need to have a good chat with you tonight.

No, no need Ill leave after delivering the clothes.

Before leaving, Lin Guochuan glanced at his daughter, cleared his throat, and said gently to her at the door, I also went to see your mom tonight. Those apples you bought them, right?

Im sorry, Youxi.

Over the years, I never knew that you have been visiting her by yourself. You must have gone many times by yourself.

Its my fault as a father, Ive let you down.

Lin Guochuan handed the bag of clothes to Mei Fang, and just as he was about to leave with a despondent expression, Lin Youxi called out to him.

Dad

Lin Youxi raised her head, looked at Lin Guochuan who had turned around, and gently reminded him, Please ride your scooter slowly tonight, its cold and the road is slippery, dont fall.

This was a signal of reconciliation from his daughter, which finally eased the tension in Lin Guochuans furrowed brow.

He smiled slightly at his daughter, Yes, Dad knows.

I wonder if this counts as a reconciliation between father and daughter.

But seeing this scene, Mei Fang and his parents felt much relieved.

That night.

Mei Fang huddled on the sofa covered with a thick blanket, the spacious living room felt like an ice cave, he wrapped himself tightly, holding the pig-shaped hand warmer that Xia Yuan had bought for him. The room was freezing, and his teeth were chattering.

Why is this living room so cold in winter!?

Why doesnt Baimei County install underfloor heating or central heating like in the north!? Its infuriating

While Mei Fang was lying on the sofa and staring at the ceiling, the shadows of the trees outside the residential area were reflected on the ceiling by the streetlights. Passing vehicles constantly covered and blocked the light and shadows.

Im not sleepy at all tonight

Just when Mei Fang was feeling bored, he heard the sound of the door opening from the other room.

He caught a glimpse of Lin Youxis figure from a distance, as she quietly walked towards him.

You cant sleep? Mei Fang asked. Lin Youxi paused for a moment, then nodded.

The dappled light fell on Lin Youxis beautiful face as Mei Fang gazed at her.

Is it cold here? Shall we find another place for you to sleep?

No need, I was just kidding about feeling cold. But you if you dont cover yourself properly, what if youre the one who catches a cold?

Lin Youxi didnt reply. Instead, she sat on the sofa where Mei Fang was and mischievously put her hand under the blanket.

Hey, do you know how cold your hand is? Dont poke me like that

Mei Fang lowered his voice, afraid of waking up his parents, so Lin Youxi continued to stretch her hand under the blanket. After a few icy touches, Lin Youxi pulled back the corner of the blanket and slipped in.

Mmm Its quite warm here, Lin Youxi smiled slightly at Mei Fang, making him feel very awkward.

If you do this, youre letting all the warmth escape! Mei Fang was actually quite flustered because he didnt understand Lin Youxis sudden behavior.

I have an electric blanket in my room. If you want warmth, why not sleep with Xiaoya under that electric blanket? Why come to squeeze with me

Lin Youxi remained silent, lying on her side, head resting on her arm, quietly watching Mei Fang.

Ah Fang

Lin Youxi softly called Mei Fangs nickname.

She placed one hand against her cheek, making a gesture as if whispering something.

Thank you for today

Oh Did she come here specifically to tell me this?

Its nothing. We are friends, so its natural

Before Mei Fang could finish his sentence, Lin Youxi covered his mouth with her hand.

She made a shushing gesture and then shook her head.

We are not just friends.

We are childhood sweethearts.

We grew up together, our hearts have always been connected since we were little.

She placed her hand on Mei Fangs chest, quietly feeling the steady heartbeat, then slowly closed her eyes.

Hey You mustnt fall asleep here, okay? Otherwise, I wont be able to explain to my parents.

Okay Ill leave in a while.

Lin Youxis hand was still on Mei Fangs chest, with an expression of being lost in the moment. Mei Fang couldnt bear to disturb her.

In the end, he had to carry Lin Youxi to her own room.

Mei Fangs most profound feeling about this incident was

Carrying a sleeping person in a princess carry was much harder than carrying her on his back.
