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

Chapter 168: Under the stage

Views:

The Golden Autumn Art Festival has a series of grand performances, including gorgeous dance performances, funny drama performances, wonderful magic shows, and moving singing.

Here, everyone saw the dazzling side of their familiar classmates. This was the first time for the freshmen to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1.

Many of them never imagined that this key university, which is ranked first in the province, should have been full of top students who study to death every day, but it actually gathers so many talented greats.

Mei Fang was of course one of the "recognized masters" who was beyond everyone's exception. He and Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan chatted enthusiastically for a long time under the stage after the curtain call, and when they came out, they attracted the attention of many classmates.

Pretty and talented girls are of course also very popular, but boys tend to be more reserved, especially the ambitious boys from Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1. They would never stare at Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi without moving their eyes to avoid being looked down upon by others.

But boys are treated differently. Handsome boys usually attract more attention from girls, and handsome and talented boys are one in a million.

Girls aged fifteen or sixteen are at the age when they dare to love and hate, and most of them are not stingy in expressing their emotions. They stared at Mei Fang and didn't care at all, which made Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi feel under great pressure.

"Hey, hey, come on! Let's find a place to take a picture!"

Xia Yuan was never willing to miss such an unforgettable opportunity. The three of them pulled Xiang Bingbing over and walked around the auditorium, and finally chose to take a group photo in the hall.

"Is that all right? I'm going to take a picture of you."

"Afang, lift up the guitar and hold it!"

"You don't have a guitar?"

Xia Yuan shook her head and smiled, "Two people holding the guitar will be too crowded. It's not easy to take a photo together. Just one will do."

Xia Yuan squeezed Mei Fang and stood on one side. This time, Lin Youxi did not choose to stand next to Mei Fang, but took Xia Yuan's arm and stayed close to her.

No... standing next to Alfon

Just when Xia Yuan was puzzled about what Lin Youxi meant, Xiang Bingbing, who was about to take a photo, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... You guys look like a family of three, with Ximei and Fang being the father and mother, and Yuanyuan being the daughter."

"You're making fun of me for my height, aren't you?"

Xia Yuan was a little angry because she was indeed the shortest among the three.

I used to be taller than Afang...

Lin Youxi held Xia Yuan's arm, and Xia Yuan naturally held Mei Fang's arm. Mei Fang put both hands on the guitar, ready to play.

"It seems like everyone is ready... Before taking pictures, let me ask everyone a question: Are the peaches from Shenlongjia sweet?"

"sweet!"

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang spoke almost at the same time, while Lin Youxi pursed her lips and maintained an elegant smile, pressing the shutter button towards Bingbing, recording this moment that is worth remembering forever for the three little ones.

"Look at how I took the photo."

Xia Yuan hurried over to take a look.

"Wow, this is awesome! How about we print this photo and put it up at home?"

"good."

Lin Youxi nodded, "But I think one print is enough. It would be weird to have three in one house."

"Hehe...that's right."

Xiang Bingbing didn't pay much attention to the topic of the three people's conversation. She just handed the camera back to Mei Fang and said, "This is how Chaoxiong and I complete our work today. In order to take a good video of your performance, Chaoxiong really scolded me a lot."

"Haha... Thank you for your hard work, Bingbing. We will treat you to a meal when the time comes!"

"Then you have to treat me to a good meal! I haven't had a full meal in a long time."

"Okay, okay, you can eat as much as you want when the time comes!"

Xia Yuan knows that Mei Fang is rich but she will not spend Mei Fang's money carelessly. She plans to invite Bingbing to a buffet next time to broaden her horizons.

The girls held hands and went to the bathroom together. Mei Fang had no urge to pee, so she took her camera and prepared to go back to class.

He walked to the door of the auditorium and just saw Liu Xiaoyu leaning against the door with his hands behind his back, covering his chest, as if he was taking a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes, she happened to meet Mei Fang's eyes. Mei Fang waved and smiled at her, but Liu Xiaoyu suddenly made a strange move -

She did not wave to Mei Fang as usual, but suddenly turned around and showed her backless cheongsam to Mei Fang.

"Wait, wait for me..."

Liu Xiaoyu held her chest tightly, then greeted Mei Fang with some difficulty.

"Congratulations! The stage performance was amazing."

"Haha... It's nothing, it's all thanks to Yuanyuan and Youxi's support."

The recurrence of such a scene gave Mei Fang an inexplicable sense of guilt.

In his previous life, he wanted to congratulate Liu Xiaoyu in person after she stepped off the stage, but she was surrounded by other classmates.

At that time, she didn't pay too much attention to Mei Fang's existence, and Mei Fang only gave her a simple congratulations the next day.

Now it feels like the two people's identities have been swapped.

Now Mei Fang has become the one shining with youthful vitality on the stage, while Liu Xiaoyu can only greet guests outside the stage and watch everyone perform silently.

It felt as if her youth and luck had been taken away.

"You... the cheongsam you are wearing today is also very beautiful."

"Thank you."

Mei Fang scratched his head, wondering if he should have said that, and suddenly realized that he was holding a camera in his hand.

"Would you like me to take a few photos for you? As a souvenir."

"Yeah... Ok, ok."

Liu Xiaoyu did not refuse, but placed her hands on her belly, showing a more proper posture. However, she naturally felt a little embarrassed when Mei Fang looked at her like this.

"Will this look weird to you?"

"No, I think it's fine."

Mei Fang simply took a few photos of Liu Xiaoyu and then stopped.

"Have you finished filming? I want to take a look."

Mei Fang took several steps back, then waved and smiled at Liu Xiaoyu: "I don't think I'm very good at taking pictures. I'll let a professional take pictures later."

"A professional?"

At this moment, Xiang Bingbing put her arms around Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's shoulders and ran over with a smile on her face. The two of them were just like little children in front of Xiang Bingbing.

"Ah, it's Mei Fang, what are you doing here..."

"Oh, it's Xiaoyu!"

When Xia Yuan saw Liu Xiaoyu, she immediately ran up to her excitedly and said hello, "I was too busy today and didn't have a chance to talk to you. You look so beautiful in this cheongsam."

"Hehe... you guys performed really well today." Liu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Youxi standing beside him, "Especially squad leader Youxi. You usually look so serious, but I didn't expect you to have such a soft side."

"I just deliberately expressed that feeling while singing. It's the singing method that Yuanyuan taught me."

Meh

When did I teach Youxi this

Xia Yuan didn't think too much about it. When Youxi said that, she nodded frantically, "Oh, yes, yes... Youxi is amazing. She can learn it in no time."

The two of them have become accustomed to various commercial flatteries, and after that, Xia Yuan would pull Liu Xiaoyu close to him.

"You're the hero in our accompaniment arrangement this time. Without your help, I can't do it alone. I'll treat you to dinner some other day! No, this week, this weekend!"

"You're welcome... I just did what I was supposed to do..."

Liu Xiaoyu took Xia Yuan's hand and said, "Can we take a few photos together?"

"Sure, sure! Let's take a photo together! Youxi can come too."

The three of them asked Bingbing to take a group photo together.

"You guys are so nice! I want to take a photo with you too. Your name is Liu Xiaoyu, right? You're so cute."

"You, you're cute too."

This was the first time Liu Xiaoyu met Xiang Bingbing. She didn't expect that she could be so cute.

"Mei Fang, Mei Fang, can you come and take a photo for us?"

"I'll tell you in advance that my photography skills are terrible. Just don't blame me."

"Hurry up and take pictures! I've been sticking to Xiaoyu for so long that my hands are numb."

Xia Yuan urged Mei Fang to take pictures quickly. Mei Fang also squatted down and took pictures of the four people from several angles.

"Pick a few from these, there will always be something nice..."

Mei Fang showed the photos to the girls, and everyone was flipping through them.

“Isn’t this a very good shot…”

Xia Yuan was selecting photos when she came across two photos that Mei Fang took of Liu Xiaoyu.

"Oh! These two photos...are so beautiful! Were they also taken by Fang?"

Xia Yuan pouted at Mei Fang angrily, "You've never been so serious when taking photos of me."

"Yes, there are." Lin Youxi was conscientiously finishing off the enemy from the side.

"Liu Xiaoyu is pretty to begin with. It has nothing to do with me."

Mei Fang's exaggeration and praise made Liu Xiaoyu blush immediately. Of course, this was a lousy job for Mei Fang, the master of keeping a balance. He made Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan even more jealous.

"You mean that Youxi and I don't look good together?"

"I don't have any, stop talking nonsense!"

"Aiya... There's no need to argue about this kind of thing. I think it's all pretty good."

Xiang Bingbing said as she stepped forward and put her arm around Mei Fang's shoulders. "Mei Fang will definitely become a star in the future. I have to take a commemorative photo with him first, so I can brag about it later!"

Xiang Bingbing's embrace of Mei Fang felt like a sister carrying her younger brother. With Xiang Bingbing's strong arms around his neck, Mei Fang dared not move, for fear of being killed if he was not careful.

"Yuanyuan, come and take a photo of Mei Fang and me?"

"Uh... um..." Xia Yuan hesitated for a while before stretching out his finger and said, "You can only take one photo."

"Take a few more pictures. I want to pick the good-looking ones."

“I can take a good-looking photo in just one shot!”

Xia Yuan held the camera and took a serious photo of Xiang Bingbing and Mei Fang.

Wow, this is a strange feeling...

Xia Yuan showed the camera to Bingbing, then snatched her Ah Fang from Bingbing's arms.

"This one... is barely okay, but it's not as good as the one Mei Fang and I took. It's a little blurry. Can you take another one?"

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang tightly and refused to let Xiang Bingbing take the photo. "I said one photo, and our Ah Fang will not lend it to other girls for group photos."

"Didn't you lend Ah Fang to Peng Xue before? It was because she wanted to experience the feeling of taking a photo with her boyfriend."

Lin Youxi's sabotage made Xia Yuan blush and turn pale, "That, that is... not quite the same! Okay, okay... Then take another photo, only one."

"Xiao Yu, do you want to take a photo together? Maybe it will be better if we take a photo together. This is the first time I have seen a real cheongsam. Let's take a photo together."

Liu Xiaoyu hesitated and didn't dare to move. She could see what Xia Yuan was thinking. She didn't know if Xia Yuan would be unhappy by doing this, so she just stared at Xia Yuan.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu... If you want to take the photo, go ahead. I'm actually fine, but this is really the last photo."

Xia Yuan felt like crying but couldn't. Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's okay for me. I don't need to take the photo."

"Go ahead and take the photo. It's okay! Ah Fang took such a good photo of you. He must want to take a photo with you too..."

Xia Yuan pushed Liu Xiaoyu to Xiang Bingbing and Mei Fang with a feeling of grievance. Mei Fang looked at Lin Youxi helplessly, obviously blaming Youxi for being nosy. If she hadn't ruined Yuanyuan's plan, there wouldn't have been so many problems.

Lin Youxi put on a rather amused expression, observing Mei Fang's aggrieved reaction.

This time, Xiang Bingbing bent her body, put one hand on Mei Fang and the other hand on Liu Xiaoyu. The three of them stood a little further away from each other, so Mei Fang didn't feel so uncomfortable.

"Strike a pose, Ah Fang, don't look so lifeless."

Xia Yuan was so excited about taking a good photo that he asked the three of them to pose.

Then Xiang Bingbing put her hands on the two men's shoulders and made two "yeah" gestures, and Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu also followed suit.

"I've taken the photo! Well, this one is pretty good, can you guys take a look?"

Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing both came over to look at the photos.

"Yeah... pretty good."

“It looks quite symmetrical… I think there’s an inexplicable beauty to symmetry! Well, that’s fine too!”

Everyone later formed groups of two or three to take a few more photos. Only Mei Fang avoided taking photos alone with Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing.

In fact, it doesn’t matter how many photos you take with Bingbing, the main thing is to try to avoid being with Liu Xiaoyu.

Mei Fang was not so narcissistic as to think that he could make Liu Xiaoyu fall in love with him just by singing a song. After all, his previous life had proved that Liu Xiaoyu did not have any feelings for him beyond friendship.

Therefore, this is actually also to swear in front of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi that he belongs to their sovereignty.

The Golden Autumn Art Festival finally came to an end. After a busy day, Xia Yuan almost had to hang on Mei Fang's arm to return home.

"I'm almost... exhausted..."

"This isn't the end of the world yet. You better behave yourself. If someone finds out, I'll tell my class teacher. I'll make sure she's not killed."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, really... ah, that's right!"

Xia Yuan quickly stepped forward to stop Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, and then suggested: "We will definitely not be able to stick to the pasture today, or we can only stick to the pasture for a short time. Let's replenish our energy in the pavilion downstairs."

"Together or separately?" Lin Youxi asked.

"Why are we together here?" Xia Yuan blushed and retorted, "Let's separate."

"Then Yuanyuan, you go first. I see you are exhausted." Lin Youxi said with a smile, "I'll help you keep some fresh air."

"Let's just stick together for five minutes!"

Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang to sit in the pavilion.

“How was it…how did it feel to be on stage for the first time?”

"It's wonderful." Mei Fang nodded. "I have no regrets in my life."

"Why are you regretting your youth now? That's too early. There are still many things to do in the future. There is also the New Year's Eve party after the Golden Autumn Arts Festival. We will prepare a few new songs by then, and when we have ten songs, we will release an album together and shoot our own music video and post it to Station C."

"That's too far-fetched... It's something that hasn't even started yet..."

While Mei Fang was complaining, Xia Yuan stood up from his seat, jumped and fluttered onto Mei Fang, gently scratching his cheek.

"very nice… "

"I've been wondering if you refused to perform on stage because I laughed at you. If it was really me who made you lose the courage, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"That's not the case... But I still want to thank you and Youxi."

"In the end, he didn't leave the stage but stayed with me to accept everyone's gaze. I was really moved."

"Hehe... That's pretty cool, but I can't take credit for it. This was Youxi's idea, and she's more thoughtful than me."

Xia Yuan muttered and raised his head, then touched Mei Fang's nose and forehead.

"In your eyes, I must have always been a child who never grew up, right?"

"How is that possible? You want me to show you my weapons again, right?"

"Afang, you are such a little jerk!"

"No match for you."

"Still talking!"

Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fang's cheek in a reproachful manner. The last time she said unspeakable words to Mei Fang in a daze, she rolled over in bed dozens of times that night. Since then, she began to avoid such topics to avoid appearing to be a strange woman.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

Xia Yuan lay contentedly on Mei Fang's shoulder, "I need to replenish my energy—"

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, Lin Youxi tapped her shoulder.

"Is the time up?"

Lin Youxi nodded, "However, you can also exceed the time limit, and I will do the same."

"Well, forget it then."

Xia Yuan quickly made room for Lin Youxi. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan both thought that Lin Youxi wanted Mei Fang to stand up and hug her from behind, but this time Lin Youxi sat down directly in Mei Fang's arms.

Mei Fang was like her throne now. She leaned her back against Mei Fang and lay leisurely in Mei Fang's arms.

Then she pulled Mei Fang's arm, covered herself with it, and sighed.

"It's quite warm..."

Xia Yuan blushed as she watched from the side.

It was obviously me... I was the one who warmed it up.

Xia Yuan was finally seen and ridiculed by Lin Youxi who opened her eyes.

"Why don't you go get some fresh air, Yuanyuan?"

“I know!”

Xia Yuan ran off to get some fresh air, feeling aggrieved.

There is no time to divide the chapters. I said I would take a day off today but I updated again. I am such a flirting author.

I'd also like to share another work of mine that I created out of thin air, "My Dream Space" by Watanabe Laozei. This book is my first book with an first order of 500. The male protagonist and Mei Fang all live in Baimei County and study at Baimei No. 1 Middle School, which is equivalent to a parallel world with the same worldview. If you are interested, you can read the high school chapter, but forget about the rest, as what I wrote in the latter part is a bit vague, a bit middle school and awkward, and it is a three-girl theme.
