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

Being called by a nickname… is an experience I’ve never had before.

Although being called Ah Fang feels a bit awkward, Mei Fang also finds it very novel.

In his previous life, Mei Fang didn’t have any particularly close relationships with the opposite sex or the same sex. Most of his friendships only lasted during that early stage of life.

From middle school to high school, from high school to college, he would make a new group of friends and then forget about them.

The only exception was his best friend named Zhang Ming. Mei Fang’s friendship with him lasted until college, and they often played games together. They could be considered kindred spirits.

However, this person went to the well-known Chinese communication giant company, Huawei, after graduating. After being sent abroad to Ukraine, he encountered misfortune due to the war, and since then, there has been no news of him, leaving Mei Fang alone in China, living a confused and aimless life.

Now that Mei Fang has been reborn, according to the plot of other novels he read before, this best friend will definitely become a special forces king in Ukraine and die in a foreign land.

If I ever get to meet him again in this lifetime, I will definitely advise him not to include Huawei on his resume after graduation, which could be seen as a small way to make amends for the past.

If we never cross paths, then it’s just his unfortunate fate! Let’s respect the destinies of others.

“Well, now that we’ve chosen nicknames, Youxi and I are going to start practicing dance. We’ll follow along one section at a time, Ah Fang, can you help adjust the playback progress?”

Fine, they’re all eagerly expecting me to accompany them here, I’m just a helper.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi followed the video and when they finish one section, Mei Fang had to press the pause button and also rewind or fast forward according to Xia Yuan’s instructions.

Xia Yuan, who is familiar with the entire dance routine, broke it down for Lin Youxi step by step, just like her mother teaching a class, very patient.

And Lin Youxi, who couldn’t keep up at the beginning, was now able to follow Xia Yuan’s movements for a short section.

“That’s right, that’s it! One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, hands circle, lift your hips and stand up! Let’s do the whole thing again!”

Two hours passed, and Lin Youxi could now follow Xia Yuan for the first half of the dance.

“I never thought you couldn’t tie your shoelaces, but you’re actually good at dancing! That’s the advantage of having long legs, right…”

Xia Yuan slightly tiptoes and compared her height with Lin Youxi’s, “You used to be shorter than me, but now you’re almost half a head taller. I guess… you might even be taller than Ah Fang!”

As a man, Mei Fang was never one to concede in matters of height, “It should still be a little shorter now, but in a couple of years, you’ll definitely be taller than me. Girls enter puberty earlier than boys, it’s just how things are.”

“Shorter? Why don’t you two compare?”

“Let’s compare then!”

Mei Fang stood up and stood in front of Lin Youxi. Lin Youxi also took a step forward and faced Mei Fang directly. Their noses brushed against each other, their eyes met, and they were almost touching.

“It seems… about the same.”

Lin Youxi turned her head and looked at Xia Yuan, “What do you think, Yuan Yuan?”

“Wait, wait! We can’t compare like this! We can’t tell the height difference this way!”

Xia Yuan hurriedly pulled Mei Fang and forced him to turn around, and then made Lin Youxi turn around as well. The two of them leaned back to back.

“You have to compare like this for me to see the difference.”

Xia Yuan tiptoed and gestured.

“You are indeed a little taller than Ah Fang, Youxi.”

“Ah, you’re only in fourth grade, and you’re already taller than me?”

Mei Fang, feeling unconvinced, gestured a few times, but the reality was a bit hard for him to accept.

“It’s the hair! The hair! If we don’t count the hair, I should still be a little taller…”

“Ah Fang, you look so funny struggling like that, hahaha!”

Lin Youxi finally found something better than Mei Fang and became confident, “You used to always say that I won’t grow taller because I don’t like to eat this or that, but now I’m taller than you. You’ll be the little bean from now on.”

“Hmph, just wait a few more years and see, I will…”

Mei Fang thought for a moment. In his previous life, Lin Youxi was so popular not only because of her good grades but also because she looked good, especially her pair of snow-white long legs that attracted attention in the summer. He was also dragged along by high school friends and glanced at her a few times.

Is Lin Youxi taller than him? He had never compared. Although it wasn’t like he had to look up to her, she had the advantage of long legs, so she wouldn’t be too short.

Ah, what if she really is taller than me?

Mei Fang was still concerned about being shorter than a girl.

He wondered if starting to drink more milk now would make any difference.

“It’s just a little taller, it doesn’t matter.”

Xia Yuan hugged Lin Youxi and said, “Before, Ah Fang and I were Youxi’s older brother and sister, but when we grow up, Youxi will be our older sister. Isn’t that nice?”

“Um… hehe…”

Since Xia Yuan had spoken, Lin Youxi didn’t continue to banter with Mei Fang. She just nodded in agreement, scratching her head.

This Lin Youxi is really biased. She never gives in when arguing with me, but he’s so obedient in front of Xia Yuan…

Well, as long as she’s happy!

In the evening, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi said goodbye to Xia Yuan and left their house. On the way back, Lin Youxi called out to Mei Fang.

“Ah Fang, Ah Fang, Ah Fang…”

“Why are you getting addicted to calling nicknames like Xia Yuan?”

Lin Youxi hopped into the center of each stone step with small steps and casually mentioned what happened earlier, “By the way, you called Xia Yuan ‘Yuan Yuan’ so many times just now, but you haven’t called me ‘Youxi’ directly.”

“Why didn’t you mention this earlier when you were at Xia Yuan’s house?” Mei Fang couldn’t help but tease Lin Youxi a few times.

Lin Youxi shook her head and looked at the floor. “I…forgot.”

How is it possible to forget and then remember as soon as we leave the house? This means you don’t want to compete with Xia Yuan, right?

Uh...

I’m not expecting them to fight over me or get jealous. I’m not that bored yet…

It’s true that I’ve managed to protect Xia Yuan from that tragedy, but I shouldn’t let Lin You Xi become overly dependent on her because of that.

If she can’t be as academically excellent as before, Mei Fang will be troubled.

“If you want to be friends with Yuan Yuan, don’t be afraid to hurt her feelings.”

“If you hide your thoughts from Yuan Yuan, that’s when she will be sad. Do you understand what I mean, Youxi?”

Lin Youxi was still a bit gloomy, but when she heard Mei Fang call her Youxi in the last sentence, she immediately raised her head excitedly and nodded. “I understand!”

“You understand…what the hell do you understand? What did I just say?”

“You said that if there’s something I want to say, I should say it to Yuan Yuan face to face, and don’t hide it. Is that what you mean?”

Mei Fang was slightly surprised. “So you actually listened…”

This is a multitasking academic genius!

“Yes!”

Lin Youxi nodded. “I know you care about me, but Yuan Yuan also cares about me. We have little secrets and agreements between us. But those are secrets between girls, and you’re not supposed to know.”

…

Mei Fang decided not to think about the little secrets between the girls.

“By the way, do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?”

Lin Youxi nodded. “After dinner, I want to learn Java with you. You have online video courses, right? I’ve downloaded them all.”

“Oh, that…you can start with the basics first, and I can teach you while watching.”

Mei Fang took Lin Youxi home. For Mei Fang’s family, Lin Youxi was like a daughter who was away from home, and her coming to eat was just adding another pair of chopsticks.

However, today seemed a bit different.

“The food today seems a bit abundant? Why did you even cook a chicken? Did you know I was bringing Youxi back…?”

“Well…actually, there are some other things to talk about.” Facing Lin Youxi’s worried expression, Xiang Xiaoxia quickly nodded and smiled, “But you can eat first!”

In Mei Fang’s eyes, what was supposed to be a normal dinner turned into a huge crisis that Mei Fang didn’t expect.

Mei Lijun, Mei Fang’s father, came to Mei Fang’s side and gently patted his shoulder, wearing a calm smile.

“Mei Fang, there’s something I need to tell you in advance,” he said.

“Our family is going to move next year.”
