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

Chapter 48: I Really Dont Want to Be Separated from Ah Fang!

Xiang Xiaoxia took Mei Ya to a small room and whispered to her. When Xiang Xiaoxia came out, Meiya was nowhere to be seen. The two girls asked and found out that Mei Ya was exhausted from school and had fallen asleep just now.

“This child really makes people worry. Youxi and Yuan Yuan can go to the living room and do your homework now.”

Hmm…

Seeing Mei Ya’s failed persistent actions, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi glanced at each other, then held hands and followed Xiang Xiaoxia to the kitchen.

“Aunt Mei, do you really have to leave?”

Xia Yuan’s tone was full of grievances, “I really don’t want to let you go.”

“Auntie doesn’t want to either, but there’s no other way.”

“N-no, there is a way!”

Xia Yuan muttered as she pulled Xiang Xiaoxia’s arm, “At least Mei Fang… Ah Fang can stay in Baimei County. He also said that he doesn’t want to go to Baizhou City at all. Ah Fang said that you have to sell the house to buy a new one in Baizhou City. In that case, Ah Fang can live in our house!”

“Live in your house?”

Xiang Xiaoxia and Lin Yuxi were both surprised by Xia Yuan’s sudden suggestion.

“First, my mom is Ah Fang’s homeroom teacher, so she can supervise his studies. Second, our house is big, with two guest rooms that can be cleaned up for Ah Fang to live in! Third, my mom said that a stable learning environment can help students acquire knowledge better.”

Xia Yuan continued, counting on her fingers, “And one more thing is that although my mom’s cooking is not as delicious as Aunt Mei’s, I can learn. I have time, and I can take good care of Ah Fang. Aunt Mei, you can trust me!”

Xiang Xiaoxia was completely stunned by what she heard.

This is like asking me to marry my son to you and become my daughter-in-law!

She even thought about cooking and living together. This girl is quite mature for her age…

A smile appeared on Xiang Xiaoxia’s lips, and Lin Youxi blushed a little while listening.

Yes, cooking together! Ah Fang and I have cooked together before.

If Ah Fang is alone in Baimei County, he can also come to our house.

Anyway, there is often no one at our house, so I don’t have to worry about my parents.

I don’t think Yuan Yuan’s dad likes Ah Fang that much!

At least, my dad likes him more…

Although Lin Youxi’s dad is busy, whenever he has time, he always invites Mei Fang to their house and cooks for him.

But Lin Youxi just thinks to herself that Xia Yuan’s words are enough.

Under Xia Yuan’s relentless attack, Xiang Xiaoxia finally realized.

“I see it now. You guys, including our Little Ya… all the tantrums, talk of becoming a family, and suggesting Mei Fang live with you—are you all in cahoots, am I right?”

“…”

Seeing their plan exposed, both Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan lowered their heads in embarrassment.

“We… we just… we just… don’t want to be separated from Ah Fang, so…”

“I understand your feelings, and Auntie also doesn’t want to separate you guys, but adults’ decisions are not so easily changed. Even if we agree now, we, as his parents, can’t always be separated from Mei Fang. After all, children need adults to take care of them. When you grow up, you can play and be together whenever you want, okay?”

Facing Xiang Xiaoxia’s comfort, Xia Yuan sniffled and lowered her head.

And in the end, she still murmured and spoke out her true feelings.

“Not okay…”

“Not okay…”

Her true feelings became her motivation to resist, allowing her to tell Xiang Xiaoxia loudly:

“Not okay at all!”

Xia Yuan bit her lip, looked at Xiang Xiaoxia with a sad expression, and then grabbed her arm, pleading with a tearful voice:

“Aunt Mei, I really, really don’t want to be separated from Ah Fang…”

“One day, one hour, one minute, one second, I can’t do it!”

Influenced by Xia Yuan’s emotions, Lin Youxi also grabbed Xiang Xiaoxia’s clothes.

Although her voice was small, she still tried to make herself heard.

“I also… I also feel the same…”

“I also don’t want to be separated from Ah Fang, Aunt Mei…”

Xiang Xiaoxia, who had lived for almost thirty years, encountered such a touching scene for the first time. She didn’t expect these children’s emotions to be so deep.

“I mean… is our Mei Fang really as good as you guys say?”

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi nodded in perfect sync, like little chicks pecking at rice.

“What if you fight and stop being friends in the future? Will you regret it then?”

“No regrets!”

Lin Youxi added, “We haven’t had any quarrels with Ah Fang so far. He’s always kind to us and always giving in.”

“Well, let Auntie think about it, okay?”

In truth, the Mei Fang’s family didn’t have strong roots in Baizhou City. It was mainly because Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun were deeply in love, and since her husband was going to work in Baizhou City and she didn’t have a stable job herself, she naturally thought about moving with him.

Thinking about it carefully, finding schools for her two children there, buying and selling houses, getting familiar with new neighbors, speaking the Baizhou dialect that she couldn’t understand at all, it was a basket full of troubles.

Without relatives nearby, there was no one else to rely on.

Not to mention, there were two beautiful girls who were determined to stay with her son and whom she also loved dearly.

If they left now, it would surely break their hearts, and in the future, they would essentially become someone else’s daughter-in-laws.

Xiang Xiaoxia let out a sigh of relief and gently stroked the heads of the two girls, “Auntie is almost defeated by you two…”

This was clearly an expression of loosening her stance.

Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan immediately wiped away their tears and showed joyful smiles. “Aunt Mei, you mean you won’t go to Baizhou City anymore, right?”

“Auntie’s words alone don’t count. We have to wait for Mei Fang’s father to come back. Speaking of which, where did that Mei Fang go? Why haven’t we seen him…”

As soon as Xiao Xia finished speaking, she heard the sound of keys opening the door outside.

It was Mei Lijun and his son returning.

As soon as Mei Fang entered the door, he saw the tear stains on Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan’s faces.

Are they using crying tactics to subdue my mom?

Well, my mom has always been soft-hearted and afraid of this.

“Why are you two together?”

“This Mei Fang ran to my workplace and told me that he couldn’t feel his father’s love recently, so he asked me to accompany him to the bookstore after work. But he just read books there and made me pay for him. It’s so boring.”

“But just now…”

Xiang Xiaoxia stopped halfway through her sentence and immediately understood Mei Fang’s and the others’ intentions.

Wow, you little rascals are teaming up to deal with us. Mei Fang should be stalling for time with Lijun, right…

It seems that their own son has the same idea and is unwilling to separate from them.

But if it were just one girl, that would be one thing, but he’s instigating two girls to help him.

If there are any difficult and complicated love and hate entanglements in the future, as a mother, she doesn’t even dare to think about it.

It’s a mess!

At the same time, Me Lijun’s face doesn’t look good either.

“Xiaoxia, I need to tell you something.”

“I happen to have something to discuss with you too.”

“My matter is more important, let me speak first.”

Me Lijun pulled Xiang Xiaoxia aside and explained in detail, while Mei Fang was also pulled by Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi to their side to discuss today’s battle results.

“Why are you being so secretive? What do you want to tell me?”

“Our colleague, Lao Du, do you remember him? His son, Du Zihan, went to the same kindergarten with Mei Fang.”

“I know, what happened to Lao Du?”

“Mei Fang said that he ran into Du Zihan and his father at school today, and Lao Du asked Mei Fang about Little Ya.”

“How did he see her? How did he ask?”

Xiang Xiaoxia’s voice sounded anxious, “Does he know that Little Ya is my daughter?”

“He asked Mei Fang directly if you had given birth to a daughter. But luckily, our son is clever and explained that Little Ya is his cousin.”

Xiang Xiaoxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ever since I started working, Lao Du has always had a grudge against me. He didn’t even win for the promotion this time. I guess he wanted to bring me down. Fortunately, I’m being transferred to Baizhou now, so I won’t have to deal with that guy.”

Mei Lijun scratched his head.

“So I was thinking, at least we have so many acquaintances in Baimei County to cover for us. If we bring Little Ya to Baizhou City and someone sees our daughter, we won’t have any connections there to help us, and it will be impossible to explain. Once it’s investigated, everything will be exposed.”

“What’s your opinion?”

“I’m thinking, maybe I should go to Baizhou City alone? Let me cultivate some connections for a few years before we discuss moving. It’s too hasty to go next year.”

Mei Lijun explained, “I feel like this would be safer, and who knows how long I can stay there. Right now, it’s just a temporary transfer. If there are any changes, they might transfer me back, which would be troublesome.”

“Yeah!”

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, who had been eavesdropping nearby, immediately embraced each other and cheered happily, leaving Mei Lijun confused.

It seems like their mission to save their childhood friend was successful…
