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

“I mean, son, are you serious when you tell me that you lack fatherly love…?”

“Of course.” Mei Fang nodded, engrossed in reading.

According to their plan, Mei Fang’s task was to prevent his father, Mei Lijun, from coming home and interfering with their strategy to win over his mom, Xiang Xiaoxia. So after school, he went to his father’s workplace and used the excuse of lacking fatherly care to persuade his dad to go to Xinhua Bookstore to read together.

The afternoon when Mei Fang wet the bed became the only memory Mei Lijun had of beating his child in the past three years.

Since the lottery incident involving Mei Fang, Mei Lijun had been distant from his son. At first, Mei Lijun thought it was just a psychological effect, but as they spent more time together, the distance between them grew thicker.

Sometimes, he even felt that his son was more mature and responsible than him, often lecturing him for being careless and frivolous.

His son lecturing him, how unreasonable…

Since his son couldn’t be disciplined, what was the point of being a father?

Of course, the birth of Mei Ya brought back the joy of being a father for Mei Lijun.

Finally, his son took the initiative to express his lack of fatherly love and his desire for more attention from his father, asking him to accompany him to the bookstore.

This was something Mei Lijun had been looking forward to for a long time, and he was very happy about it.

But why…

Why did it turn out like this now?

Mei Lijun squatted down and said to Mei Fang with a serious tone, “You can’t ask Dad to accompany you to the bookstore and then end up reading alone. We need more interaction.”

Mei Lijun lectured Mei Fang, “Your dad is now a section chief, even if it’s a small position, it’s still an official position. My time is very valuable and precious, so I want to do something meaningful.”

“No matter how valuable it is, it can’t compare to the joy of spending time with your son, right?”

“Then let me be a part of it! Look, what are you reading? Some random technical books? How can I show you fatherly love?”

The book Mei Fang was reading had five big characters on the cover — Clean Code.

It was also a famous programming book, and Mei Fang had always enjoyed tinkering with these things, which Mei Lijun had always looked down upon.

Mei Fang casually closed the book.

“The so-called fatherly love, if you buy me this book, I will be able to feel the great and profound fatherly love.”

“You just want me to pay for it, right…”

Mei Lijun sighed silently, and seeing his dad so dejected, Mei Fang instinctively patted his shoulder.

“Don’t be discouraged, Dad. After all, your son is a genius child. You have to learn to get used to it in the future.”

“Being diligent in your studies is commendable, but even if your elementary school level is high, don’t be so arrogant.”

Mei Lijun snorted and said, “Baigang High School is the most prestigious high school in our country. You should aim for that high school and always come in first place there. That’s what real talent is.”

Baigang High School was a truly outstanding high school in the 1990s. At that time, the math Olympiad was very popular, and Baigang High School was very dedicated to it. In 1990, out of the 6 team members who defeated the United States and the Soviet Union in the International Mathematical Olympiad, 2 of them were from Baigang High School.

In addition, its college admission rate was always ranked first in the entire Hubei Province. It was the best of the best, and parents in the surrounding area considered it a great honor for their children to study at Baigang High School.

Now only Mei Fang knows that this high school, which is currently thriving, will eventually decline.

However, many people can also predict this. After all, Baizhou City has a super high school but lacks the financial support to match it. It is only a matter of time before the famous teachers at this school leave.

“I don’t want to study at Baigang High School.”

Mei Fang shook his head. “My ambition is not in math either.”

“Are you studying your computer technology again? I’ve seen you study it for so long, but it seems like you haven’t achieved anything… Is it really that interesting?”

“Sigh, I’ve told you before, but you don’t understand.”

Mei Fang shook his head and left Mei Lijun’s sight with a book in his arms.

“This brat… he talks to his father without any respect.”

Mei Lijun originally wanted to give him a slap, but in the end, he decided against it.

“By the way, Mei Fang. Have you talked to your other good friend about moving?”

“You mean Yuan Yuan?”

“Tsk… you’re so close to her now, huh? Good for you, kid!”

Mei Fang sighed and showed a helpless expression. “You know her personality, it’s not easy to tell her.”

Mei Lijun patted Mei Fang’s head and comforted him, “Son, don’t be too sad. Talk to Yuan Yuan and encourage her to focus on her studies. As long as it’s meant to be, you two will surely meet again someday.”

Mei Fang didn’t directly respond to Mei Lijun’s words because he found it a bit far-fetched.

Meant to be…

Relying on fate? In my previous life, I wouldn’t have remained single for so long if fate alone had any use.

In his previous life, Mei Fang firmly believed in the idea that love could grow over time, while also adhering to the principle of being selective. He had always been searching for his destined partner, essentially harboring unrealistic romantic fantasies. As a result, he had let go of some girls who had shown interest in him because he didn’t find them attractive.

The person he had a crush on never paid attention to him.

After graduating from college, Mei Fang had some thoughts of compromise, but he was overwhelmed by the relentless demands of his busy job.

Once upon a time, my childhood self knew nothing and dared not try anything. Naturally, I could only watch fate slip away, becoming a childhood regret.

Now that I can seize fate with my own hands, there’s no way I’ll let it slip away in vain!

Not to mention, both of them at home are working hard to maintain this connection…

Mei Fang put down his book and looked at his father, who was reading in the distance, lost in thought.

In this world line, his father had won a lottery prize of several hundred thousand yuan, had a precious daughter, and had not stepped out of the system, thus gaining the opportunity for promotion.

As a family, he should help his father protect the happiness he had already obtained…

So he walked straight to his father, Mei Lijun.

“By the way, Dad, let me tell you something. Do you remember my kindergarten classmate, Du Zihan?”

“I remember, what about him? Isn’t his father…”

At the same time, in Mei Fang’s home, the little devil Mei Ya was screaming at the top of her lungs.

“No! I don’t want to go to Baizhou! I hate Dad! Why did Dad get promoted!? I don’t want, I don’t want to never see Sister Youxi and Sister Yuan Yuan again, I want them! I don’t want Dad anymore!”

Mei Ya threw a tantrum on the ground, crying non-stop, acting like a spoiled child.

Xiang Xiaoxia comforted her while pulling her up, but Mei Ya had no intention of getting up and continued to roll on the ground.

“Little Ya, your two sisters are watching here. If you continue to be disobedient, I will ask uncle JC to catch you. Uncle JC hates disobedient children the most.”

“Don’t lie to me, Mom! Yuan Yuan didn’t get caught by uncle JC even when she ran away from home. I’m just crying and throwing a tantrum at home, how could I be caught!?”

…

Using Xia Yuan as an example made Xia Yuan feel a little embarrassed, after all, she was a bad example, so she also joined in and pulled Mei Ya’s hand:

“Little Ya, your mom is right. Being stubborn like this is not what a good child should do…”

Xia Yuan whispered a few words to Mei Ya, and Mei Ya slowly got up from the ground, warning her mother:

“Mom, if you insist on going to Baizhou City with Dad, then I will become Sister Yuan Yuan’s sister and Aunt Xia’s daughter for real!”

“You little brat…”

Xiang Xiaoxia was also quite helpless about this.

It seems that it will take some time to coax her…
