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

This time, the Mei You Yuan trio was accompanied by their parents on the trip. Mei Fang’s father, Mei Lijun, and Xia Yuan’s father, Xia Xun, drove them together. Lin Youxi’s father, Lin Guochuan, was busy with work and couldn’t accompany them, so Lin Youxi’s stepmother, Liang Meijuan, asked for leave and went with them.

Originally, they had decided that Lin Youxi and Liang Meijuan would ride in Mei Fang’s family car. However, when they were about to leave, Xia Yuan said that their family’s car was bigger and more spacious, so she wanted to bring everyone except Mei Lijun to their car.

In fact, Mei Fang’s family car had already been upgraded once. Mei Lijun was now driving a Volkswagen, but compared to the seven-seater SUV, Mercedes-Benz GL450, that Xia Xun bought last year, one could tell the difference just from the appearance and quality. Xia Xun himself was a car enthusiast, and he regularly maintained his car, making it look brand new.

So when Liang Meijuan got into the car, she hesitated. At first, she said it was fine to ride in Mei Lijun’s car, but she couldn’t resist Xia Yuan’s coaxing, so she obediently came to the front passenger seat next to Xia Xun and closed the car door very carefully.

Xia Xun gently reminded her, “Sister Liang, the door isn’t closed yet. You can pull it a little harder.”

“Oh, okay.”

Liang Meijuan tried to close the door several times before finally managing to close it. She blushed because she felt embarrassed, and Mei Fang and others in the back could see it clearly.

“Aunt Liang and Youxi are really alike, haha. She couldn’t close the door when she got in just now.”

Xia Yuan, coming from a wealthy family, couldn’t empathize with Lin Youxi’s and others’ awkwardness caused by poverty. She simply found it amusing, and there was no need to be too harsh on her. Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan’s head and said, “What’s so funny with that? Why do I feel like you’re going to Jiangcheng for a vacation, not specifically to take the exam?”

“…”

Seeing Mei Fang and Xia Yuan playing around from the rearview mirror, Xia Xun felt a bit uncomfortable.

Whether it was towards business partners or subordinates, Xia Xun was a very humble person. But his daughter, Yuan Yuan, was his sensitive spot, and he absolutely wouldn’t tolerate any harm to her.

You dare to hit my daughter in front of me, huh…

You’ve really grown wings, young man.

Xia Xun couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Ah, time flies so fast. When you three first rode in my car, you were all so small. I always remember that Yuan Yuan used to cry a lot, Youxi always had a runny nose, and Mei Fang was the bedwetting king. I remember you were still wiping your butt in kindergarten, haha! I didn’t expect that ten years would pass in the blink of an eye, and you’ve all grown up so much…”

Mei Fang nodded and smiled, “Yes, Uncle Xia, time flies indeed.”

“Dad, focus on driving! Why are you talking about our childhood memories!”

Xia Xun originally wanted to tease Mei Fang, but Mei Fang not only didn’t take the bait, but Xia Yuan, his daughter, also pouted and raised her hand in protest, “Please focus on driving and don’t disturb us. Do you remember how Ah Fang taught you when he was little? ‘There are a thousand rules on the road, but safety comes first. If driving is not proper, tears will flow between loved ones.'”

Xia Xun: “【QAQ】”

“It’s fine to let Uncle Xia speak, it’s no big deal…” Lin Youxi persuaded from the side, “Don’t be too hard on your dad.”

Xia Xun didn’t expect Lin Youxi to speak up for him at this time, and his fondness for her instantly increased.

“It’s not that I don’t want Dad to speak, I just don’t want to hear about our embarrassing childhood stories again.”

Mei Fang sensed her concern, “You don’t want Aunt Liang to hear them, right?”

“Well, it’s not that… it’s just…”

Xia Yuan didn’t want to ruin her sweet and innocent little girl image in front of Lin Youxi’s stepmother.

Liang Meijuan smiled towards the back seat and said, “It’s okay… you guys can talk, I won’t interrupt.”

“It’s not about not letting Aunt Liang interrupt! What I mean is…”

Xia Yuan nudged Mei Fang’s arm, “I think it’s better to let Ah Fang tell the story of his bedwetting incident first! The three of us used to nap together in kindergarten, with our beds placed side by side. I was in the middle, Ah Fang was on the left, and Youxi was on the right. When Ah Fang wet the bed, he hadn’t woken up yet. It was after I got up that I discovered it and reported it to the teacher first——”

The whole car was filled with laughter as they shared their childhood embarrassing stories. Mei Fang didn’t feel offended but rather felt a sense of fulfillment for being alive.

The road of growth is a lonely one. Almost no one will pause for you, and hardly anyone will make an effort to run after you. Your memories mostly belong to you alone, or perhaps one or two friends you met during a certain period.

But having these two people walking with you through the seasons, experiencing all the events that happened in your memories, and playing different roles in the process, is truly a very fortunate thing.

After chatting lively for a while, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi began to feel a bit tired. They both took a nap in the car while Mei Fang remained energetic, and Xia Xun started chatting with him.

“Mei Fang, how is your dad doing in Baizhou lately? Has he been promoted to a senior official this year?”

Mei Fang nodded, “He was just promoted in June this year and transferred to the Baizhou City Bureau of Land and Resources as the deputy director.”

Liang Meijuan was shocked to hear this, “Wow, Mei Fang, your dad has become such a high-ranking official now?”

“Does he seem to lack the demeanor of a director?”

Liang Meijuan quickly shook her head, “No… Auntie didn’t mean that. He’s very approachable and down-to-earth, without any airs.”

“That’s how my dad is, so he has a good relationship with his colleagues.”

Mei Fang’s father, Mei Lijun, was 35 this year, and achieving the position of deputy director at this age was quite remarkable. His career path was bright, largely thanks to the 500,000 yuan Mei Fang earned initially, leading to the birth of Mei Ya. This encouraged Mei Lijun to work harder and not resign to start a business.

“That’s pretty fast. Does that mean your family will move soon too? It’s inconvenient for your parents to keep living apart.”

“Yes… our family has already bought a house in Baizhou, and it’s currently under renovation. We’ll probably move there after I graduate, maybe next year.”

“Well… it might not be very convenient to meet in the future,” Liang Meijuan sighed. “Do Yuan Yuan and Youxi know about this? Will they be upset?”

“It’s okay… I already told them in advance, and this time we’re not in a hurry to sell the house in Baimei. Or rather, we don’t have to sell it, it’s fine to leave it as it is.”

After all, once they passed the entrance exam for Jiangcheng NOHS, the three of them wouldn’t have to live in Baimei County during high school, and they wouldn’t have to desperately cling to it like they did when they were younger.

Clinging on now would be inappropriate actually. The only downside was fewer opportunities for them to see Mei Ya.

Xia Xun nodded, “Indeed, after all, Baimei County is your root. Whether you work or live outside, your relatives from your hometown are here, and you should always come back home to visit. But your dad probably hopes that you get into Baizhou High School, right? That way, you won’t have to rent a house.”

“That’s true… but I still want to try my best to get into Jiangcheng No. 1 High School,” Mei Fang said earnestly. “After all, it’s the top key high school in the province.”

“You’ve always been such an ambitious child, really impressive, and your mindset is very mature,” Xia Xun still highly approved Mei Fang, the excellent student. “Our Yuan Yuan isn’t like that, she should learn more from you and Youxi.”

“Uncle Xia, what are you saying? Our Yuan Yuan is also… um, she excels in various aspects too.”

Mei Fang casually blurted out the words “our Yuan Yuan”. Seeing Xia Xun’s slightly furrowed brow, he instantly regretted it. He intended to make a joke and divert to another topic, but at this moment, Xia Yuan suddenly leaned against Mei Fang’s shoulder, her hand naturally resting on Mei Fang’s chest.

Mei Fang quickly pulled her hand away, but Xia Yuan mumbled and said incomprehensible words:

“Ah Fang… I need super energy…”

Ah!!!

Xia Yuan’s bombshell nearly scared Mei Fang out of his wits. Fortunately, car horns were blaring on the road, and Xia Xun didn’t seem to pay much attention, continuing to drive.

Please! Uncle Xia, you really didn’t hear that, right…

Xia Xun appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

However, the unique stubbornness of an upper-class person kept him composed.

Um, but…

What on earth is super energy?

It doesn’t sound… healthy, does it?

No, I have to find a time to ask Yuan Yuan…

Their relationship is really too close, but if it continues like this, something wrong might happen.
