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

After Lin Youxi and Mei Fang entered the shopping mall, they quickly found the promotional posters at the entrance.

【Grand Opening Celebration of the Xinchun Supermarket】

【Grand Prize: Aima Aidu Li Electric Scooter worth 3,480 yuan, compact and lightweight, trendy and fashionable, the best choice for your travel!】

Products such as electric scooters do not increase significantly in price over time but have always maintained a relatively stable price, with occasional shrinking trends. But this price for this product is considered expensive by Mei Fang.

“My savings fell a little short of being able to afford it.” Lin Youxi said.

“That’s alright, I brought money too, I’ll help you make up for it.”

Lin Youxi nodded, “Then I’ll pay you back when I earn money next time.”

“Let’s not talk about repaying the money for now. Even if you can afford it, your dad probably won’t like this electric scooter.”

The Aidu Li electric scooter was a hot-selling model of Aima electric scooters in 2008, but it is relatively more visually appealing, smaller, and more suitable for women to ride.

It would be a bit strange for a big man like Lin Guochuan, who is over 1.8 meters tall, to ride such a scooter.

“Well…”

After contemplating for a while, Lin Youxi finally decided to stick to the original plan.

“Let’s buy this electric scooter. My dad is a person who prioritizes practicality. He can use the same piece of clothing for many years, so he won’t care too much about the appearance of this electric scooter.”

“If that’s the case, why not save this money to buy clothes for your dad and accompany him for a shopping? Wouldn’t that be better?”

“He’s already busy with work on weekdays, and he usually prefers to rest at home on weekends. I don’t want to disturb him.”

“Oh, your dad can’t be disturbed while resting, but I have to wake up so early to accompany you…”

While saying this, Lin Youxi suddenly turned around and looked at Mei Fang, “But, besides you and Yuan Yuan, I don’t have anyone else to rely on… How do you want me to repay you?”

Although she said this with a blank expression, her voice sounded a bit troubled, making Mei Fang feel a little embarrassed.

“Haha, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously… Let’s go check out the electric scooters at the nearby dealership.”

Mei Fang was about to walk forward when Lin Youxi grabbed him and didn’t let go.

“I’m serious. You should think of something I can help you with so I can repay you properly.”

“Forget it, you’ve already helped me a lot with coding before.”

“I also played games at your house all the time, so you didn’t have a chance to play.”

“You cooked for me during the summer vacation.”

“But I ate with you, and you paid for the groceries.”

“…”

As Lin Youxi and Mei Fang walked and counted each other’s favors, both of them couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“We can’t possibly keep track of everything.”

“Yeah, after all, the three of us have known each other for so many years…”

“For so many, many years.”

The two of them strolled all the way to a dealership. Since they were looking for this year’s flagship model, they quickly found their target.

“We’re now on a promotion, the price is only 2,980.”

“That thing in the supermarket lottery is overpriced.”

The shop owner was puzzled to see these two kids discussing the price of electric scooters.

“You’re so young, do you want to buy a scooter to ride on your own? Have you told your parents about it? If you’re not buying, then leave. This is not a place for playing.”

Lin Youxi subconsciously looked at Mei Fang. And Mei Fang started making up a story without much thought:

“Actually, we have been entrusted by our dad to buy a birthday gift for our mom.”

“Oh, I see!”

The store owner, upon hearing this, was quite impressed, “You two siblings seem to have a great relationship with your parents. Since you’re picking a gift for your mom, and it’s rare to see kids so responsible, I’ll make an exception and give you another discount of 200 yuan. I will also give you a free helmet!”

“Great! Thank you, Uncle!”

While the store owner was busy preparing the electric scooter, Lin Youxi nudged Mei Fang’s arm.

“He actually mistook us for siblings.”

“You’re just a little taller than me, it’s normal.”

“Ah Fang, I’m not just a little taller than you now.”

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang’s head and then used her fingers to measure their height difference, “I’m already 2 centimeters taller.”

“Don’t be too proud, let’s see in a few more years!” Mei Fang was clearly not happy about this.

Lin Youxi smiled and said, “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Mei Fang paid great attention to his diet during his adolescence, placing a strong emphasis on protein intake. Many children are picky eaters during their puberty and have insufficient nutrition. At that time, many parents didn’t pay much attention to their children’s diet or didn’t think much about these things.

In Mei Fang’s generation, parents were different. In order to prevent their children from falling behind, they were highly enthusiastic about raising their children, providing them with good food and drinks. Milk was always in their children’s diet, and even kids in their first year of middle school were already 1.67 meters tall, astonishing many people.

After paying the corresponding amount, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi followed the store owner to the electric scooter they had chosen.

“Two little friends, I’ve already set up the scooter for you. I’m just not sure if you know how to ride it. If you don’t, Uncle can ride it to your house for you.”

Lin Youxi was worried that her dad would be at home and expose their secret, so she looked at Mei Fang:

“Ah Fang, can you ride it?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve even ridden my dad’s motorcycle before. Riding an electric scooter is a piece of cake. But, about this scooter…”

The Aima Aidu Li model came in various colors, and the one Lin Youxi had chosen was a black one, which leaned more toward a masculine design.

For Mei Fang and Lin Youxi at their age, sitting on it was just right. But Mei Fang thought about the posture of Lin Youxi’s dad riding this scooter and felt awkward sitting on it.

“It’s okay, my dad really doesn’t care about these kinds of things.”

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang’s arm and said, “Let’s ride back together like this.”

“Um… okay.”

“Put on your helmet.”

Lin Youxi fetched a helmet and handed it to Mei Fang. After he put it on, he had trouble fastening the strap. Seeing this, Lin Youxi reached out to help, saying, “Let me help you.”

Lin Youxi’s slender and fair fingers came very close to Mei Fang’s lips while fastening the strap, occasionally brushing against them. However, Lin Youxi didn’t seem to mind.

Suddenly, Mei Fang asked, “You can tie your shoelaces by yourself now, right, Youxi?”

“Of course! I can do it perfectly fine. Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?” Lin Youxi furrowed.

“I was just thinking… time flies so fast. It feels like just yesterday when you still had to ask me and Yuan Yuan for help with tying shoelaces.”

“I can’t always rely on you guys.”

After helping Mei Fang fasten his helmet, Lin Youxi patted his shoulder. “I also hope that one day you can rely on me and let me do something for you…”

“Aren’t the things we do for each other in our daily lives enough? We discussed this just earlier.”

Lin Youxi shook her head. “I want to become… something more important. Hmm… I can’t quite put it into words yet. Well, let’s take it slow.”

Mei Fang rode the electric scooter while Lin Youxi sat on the exclusive small seat behind him with her hands resting on Mei Fang’s waist.

Mei Fang gently twisted the handlebars, and the electric scooter moved forward slowly, then they reached the main road, heading towards Lin Youxi’s house.

It was now around 10 o’clock in the morning, and it was a clear day. The slightly chilly wind wasn’t too harsh under the warm sun, and with Mei Fang blocking the wind for her, watching the crowd quickly disappear from her view, Lin Youxi felt very comfortable.

“Ah Fang, how are you good at everything?” Lin Youxi asked in curiosity.

“You ride the scooter fast and steady, much better than my dad. He always drives to bumpy parts of the road.”

While waiting to turn, Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, “Just talk, don’t pinch my waist. It tickles a bit.”

“You’re really ticklish here.”

Lin Youxi wanted to tease Mei Fang a bit, but now that Mei Fang was focused on driving, she restrained herself.

Lin Youxi extended her hands forward, reaching Mei Fang’s belly area, creating a half-embrace feeling.

“So… if I hold you like this, do you still feel ticklish?”

“Um… a little better, let’s just do it like this.”

The two of them rode the electric scooter to the street near their house. Mei Fang was waiting for the traffic light when Lin Youxi suddenly hugged him tightly, pressing her body against his back and turning her face away from the street.

“Hey hey… Youxi, what’s wrong with you?”

Mei Fang was about to turn around, but Lin Youxi quickly pinched him and whispered a warning, “Don’t look over there! Yuan Yuan and Teacher Yu are on the opposite street. We’ll be spotted!”
