Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts
Chapter 21: I Dont Want Xia Yuan to Hate Me!

Mei Fang was tutoring Xia Yuan in the living room on math problems.

Because she clearly felt that her math grades were falling behind, Xia Yuan spent a lot of effort in this area, taking very detailed notes and not missing a single word in class.

Although all of this was child’s play for Mei Fang, he still explained it seriously to Xia Yuan.

However, time passed by minute by minute.

Just as Mei Fang was worried about Lin Youxi’s situation, a clicking sound came from the direction of the bedroom.

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang looked up together.

“Did you hear that?”

Xia Yuan asked cautiously, “Is there someone else in the house?”

“No, you must have heard wrong…”

Mei Fang scratched the back of his head and smiled, “Maybe it’s just the wind.”

“It might not be…” Xia Yuan warned, “Mom said there have been burglaries nearby recently, maybe your house got robbed!”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Mei Fang frantically waved his hands, “If a thief were to steal, they should steal from your house, why would they steal from mine when we’re so poor?”

“Now is not the time for jokes!”

Xia Yuan stood up and pulled Mei Fang along, “Let’s go check it out together…”

“No, no, no! I can go alone.”

Mei Fang showed a very reliable and confident smile, “I am a man, you have to trust me. After all, it would be dangerous if two people were discovered together.”

“Then… take this with you!”

Xia Yuan stood up and picked up a small folding stool in the corner of the living room, handing it to Mei Fang.

Mei Fang took the stool with a wry smile and went to his parents’ bedroom, only to find that Lin Youxi was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be…

Mei Fang went to the study again and indeed saw Lin Youxi staring at the computer screen with a serious expression.

“Are you crazy? Why are you out again…”

“I have to complete this mission… Once we complete this mission, we’ll have money to buy the cheapest nourishing soup.”

Lin Youxi said that the child’s battle power didn’t increase much and had low cost-effectiveness, but she still wanted a child!

“Is the game more important than Xia Yuan?”

Mei Fang tapped Lin Youxi’s head and whispered, “If Xia Yuan finds out you’re playing games at my house, we’re both dead!” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“I…”

Lin Youxi was about to retort when Xia Yuan’s voice came from outside the door.

“Mei Fang… Are you okay? Are you in any danger?”

“No, no, I’m fine!”

“Are you really okay?”

Xia Yuan’s voice was getting closer, so Mei Fang quickly called for Lin Youxi to hide, while he slipped out of the door and intercepted Xia Yuan who was coming over.

“Is there something inside? Let me see…”

“Don’t look, don’t look!”

Mei Fang couldn’t resist Xia Yuan’s insistence on entering the room, so in a moment of desperation, he shouted, “There’s a mouse inside!”

“Ah!”

Startled by Mei Fang’s shout, Xia Yuan immediately threw herself into Mei Fang’s arms.

Mei Fang knew that Xia Yuan was most afraid of mice since she was little, because her mother said that mice were full of germs and would cause skin ulcers if touched.

“It’s okay… I should have scared it away just now.”

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan’s head, and Xia Yuan continued to tremble in Mei Fang’s arms. After a while, she cautiously peeked inside.

“But, we can’t take it lightly now. If it bites the books in the study or the wires, it’s dangerous. Let’s check again carefully!”

“No, you’re a guest in my house. I can’t let you take such a risk.”

Mei Fang pulled Xia Yuan back to the living room, poured her a glass of orange juice to calm her down, and comforted her calmly, “Let’s just focus on doing our homework peacefully for now. We’ll deal with the mouse when my dad comes back.”

As soon as Mei Fang finished speaking, the sound of keys clicking came from the door.

It was Mei Lijun’s family, excluding Mei Fang, who had returned!

“Hey, son! Do you miss your old man? I heard you calling my name at home!”

Mei Fang felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly at the moment.

Can’t you stop saying unnecessary things!?

“Yuan, Yuan, sister! I want a hug!”

Mei Fang’s younger sister, Mei Ya, had just celebrated her third birthday. As the second child and daughter, she was greatly loved by her mother, Xiang Xiaoxia. She was always by her side, with big eyes and chubby cheeks that were very adorable.

She had a good relationship with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan, and immediately rushed over to hug Xia Yuan when she saw her.

While hugging Mei Ya, Xia Yuan smiled and greeted Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie! I’m here to disturb you again…”

“Hey, Yuanyuan, why are you still so polite to us? You should learn from Youxi. When she’s at my house, she treats it like her own and is very casual!”

“I… I’ll remember.” Xia Yuan nodded, “I should come over more often in the future and not always make Mei Fang look for me.”

Xiang Xiaoxia smiled and teased, “Also, aren’t you supposed to have piano lessons today?”

“Um… there are various reasons… Oh, right!”

Xia Yuan stopped Mei Lijun, who was stretching and preparing to go to the study to play Legend and said, “Uncle Mei, don’t go to the study! Mei Fang said he saw a mouse in there!”

“There’s a mouse in the house?!”

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia were both startled by the news. “Really, Mei Fang? How big is the mouse?”

Um…

I can’t say it’s as big as Lin Youxi, right?

Mei Fang’s head was spinning now.

“I didn’t see it clearly… Maybe it’s not a mouse?”

Mei Fang pretended to be innocent and cute, “I didn’t think there was anything interesting.”

“Is it a mouse? Just go in and find out.”

Mei Fang could still easily deceive children, but not adults. Mei Fang could only silently wait for the trial to come.

“Let me see… It’s quite clean, isn’t it? Where are the traces of the mouse?”

Mei Lijun searched around the study and didn’t find any suspicious traces. Mei Fang was also surprised by this.

When did Lin Youxi leave?

No, that’s not right!

While the whole family was busy searching for mice in the study, Mei Fang returned to his own room. He looked around and then came to the front of the wardrobe.

…

Mei Fang gently opened the wardrobe, and Lin Youxi’s fist came towards him. Mei Fang was on guard and narrowly avoided the blow.

“What are you doing? You almost scared me to death.”

“It’s me who almost got scared to death! Why are you hiding in here?”

“But there’s nowhere else to hide! Xia Yuan hasn’t left yet… The escort will be over in ten minutes.”

“Forget about the escort! My parents have already come back.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Youxi immediately had a sad face. “It’s so troublesome. I might as well sleep in your wardrobe for the night… I can secretly play games at night.”

“Forget it, forget it. You’re daydreaming! Hurry up and come out. Let’s apologize to Xia Yuan.”

“I don’t want to! Xia Yuan will definitely hate me if I do that… I don’t want that!”

While the two were making a fuss in the wardrobe, Mei Fang’s bedroom door suddenly opened with a click. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi’s hearts stopped.

The one entering the room was Mei Ya, who was only three years old. She looked at the scene in front of her with her small head and big eyes, full of confusion.

“Brother… What are you doing? Oh? Lin Youxi, were you also in our house?”

“Uh, well…”

“I understand…” Mei Ya suddenly realized, “You must be playing hide-and-seek, right?”
