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

Chapter 40: A childhood sweetheart's nickname

Views:

Xia Yuan has always been a person of action. Once she decides to do something, she will immediately start making arrangements. Lin Youxi was pulled into her room by Xia Yuan, while Mei Fang was left in the living room.

Speaking of which, even though Mei Fang and Xia Yuan had such a good relationship, he had never been to her room.

There might have been a chance when she was in kindergarten, but Xia Yuan has now begun to have gender awareness, and there are some areas that Mei Fang, as a mere boy, cannot get involved in.

Of course, Xia Yuan was very casual when she entered his room...

Mei Fang took a nap on the sofa in Xia Yuan's house for a while, and then he heard loud footsteps coming from the stairs.

Small sneakers, long white socks, pleated skirt, bow, twin ponytails, Lin Youxi immediately transformed herself after putting on Xia Yuan's clothes, from the wild girl next door to the little princess next door.

In order to match Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan also changed to twin ponytails. Although both of them have short hair, they look very energetic.

"Mei Fang! Look! See if our Lin Youxi is pretty or not?"

“The contrast is quite strong.”

Mei Fang is compared to Lin Youxi in his previous life.

In her previous life, Lin Youxi always had long hair and a school uniform jacket when she was in high school. Her soft and flowing long hair was very impressive.

This female academic master who was once so cool and aloof now appears in front of Mei Fang like a debuted child star idol. It would be strange if he was not surprised.

"Is that all you can say about the contrast? You really don't give Lin Youxi face."

Xia Yuan pushed Lin Youxi's shoulders and walked forward, "You should wear more beautiful skirts in the future, and don't always wear shirts. You can borrow my clothes."

“I still don’t think it’s suitable…”

Lin Youxi twisted her black sneakers and said, "I feel like something is weird."

"It's not weird! You're just not used to wearing something like this for the first time."

Xia Yuan continued to listen to Lin Youxi's intimate words, "Although I have a lot of friends in my class... I still like you the most! There is no chance for us to be in the same class in elementary school, but you can try hard in middle school!"

"I heard from my mother that the experimental middle school divides classes according to grades. If we all study hard, we can be in the same class when we enter junior high school."

"Yeah... OK." Lin Youxi nodded, "I've been studying hard."

"Okay, let's put this aside for now and practice dancing together."

"Um... OK."

"See, I told you I wasn't needed at all."

Mei Fang saw that he had no way to fit in now, so he thought about finding an excuse to slip away, "Can you let me go back now? I may have something to do at home."

As he spoke, he stood up, but before he took two steps, Xia Yuan, who came forward aggressively, grabbed his arm and stopped him from moving.

"No! You have to help us evaluate the performance of the show!" Xia Yuan frowned, "What can you do when you go home? Isn't it just playing games?"

"I still have to learn programming code. I'm going to watch an online video course today."

Mei Fang noticed that Lin Youxi's eyes were also fixed on him, with a look of great concern.

Maybe what she wants to do now is to learn coding with Mei Fang instead of dancing

"You can study online later. When my dad comes back, you will go back."

Xia Yuan's tone suddenly became aggrieved, "You haven't come to my house on weekends for two weeks. You wanted to leave after staying for a while today. Don't you like playing with me anymore?"

As she spoke, she leaned towards Mei Fang and stood on tiptoe towards Mei Fang's face. Mei Fang subconsciously took two steps back.

Damn it... don't look at me like that!

It’s so cute!

"Don't talk nonsense."

Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan's head and said, "I'm just worried that you and Lin Youxi would feel embarrassed if I were a boy here."

"I would definitely feel embarrassed in front of other boys, but Mei Fang, you are different."

Xia Yuan said seriously, "The three of us are childhood sweethearts, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Childhood sweethearts..."

Kids in 2005 were not like today where they can get all the information by swiping down their phones, so this was the first time Lin Youxi heard such a statement. "What does this mean?"

"Childhood sweethearts refer to good friends who grew up together. Girls like you and I are childhood sweethearts, and boys like Mei Fang are childhood sweethearts. It has the same meaning as the term 'faxiao' used in our hometown."

After Xia Yuan explained, he changed his mind and realized that the three of them were such good friends and it seemed that they didn't have any special nicknames.

My nickname is Yuanyuan, but Lin Youxi has never called me that.

Mei Fang only called me once, and I forgot what I felt afterwards!

"Come to think of it, we have such a good relationship, but it seems a bit strange to call each other by our first names!"

Xia Yuan smiled and said to Lin Youxi, "Well, from now on I will just call you Youxi! This way it will be more intimate. And you can also call me—"

"Yuanyuan."

"Where's Mei Fang?"

"Didn't we agree before that we would only be alone—"

"It's okay, Youxi, she's not an outsider!"

Xia Yuan climbed onto the sofa. In order to prevent her shoes from getting the sofa dirty, she sat in a super cute duck position, holding Mei Fang's arm and begging, "Call me... Call me by my nickname again."

"Yuanyuan."

Mei Fang responded quickly. Xia Yuan blushed slightly after being called, but soon she pursed her lips and walked away.

"Finally, it's about Mei Fang's nickname!"

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Mei Fang, your family seems to call you by your full name."

"Yes, I was born into such a family that had no love for me, and my name was given to me casually."

Lin Youxi took over the conversation and said, "I have discussed this matter with Mei Fang before. In fact, it is good to use the name as a reduplication like you, but he doesn't like it... I think it goes well with your nickname."

After hearing this, Xia Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed.

“Hehe… That’s indeed the case. One is Yuanyuan (Yuanyuan), and the other is—”

"I don't like being called that! Don't do that!"

Mei Fang once again refused righteously, "You can give me a nickname, you can call me Dafang, Ermao, Sanmao, Sigou, but you can't call me that reduplicated word."

"Why do you dislike that name so much..."

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's shoulder and thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, "How about calling her Xiao Fang! This sounds very smooth. Lin - No, Youxi, what do you think?"

"Whatever Yuanyuan thinks is good is fine." Lin Youxi was still as obedient to Xia Yuan as ever.

"Why didn't you ask for my opinion?" Mei Fang protested, "This name is too feminine. I'm called a sissy. Don't you have the responsibility?"

"Didn't you say that any name would do except that one? You liar."

"The name Liar is a good one!" Lin Youxi raised both hands in agreement, "I think this is the best name. Mei Fang is a liar."

"Indeed! Hahahaha! Mei Fang, from now on you will be called Liar. Liar, Liar, Liar—"

Xia Yuan happily shook Mei Fang's shoulders, and Mei Fang let him play with him as if he had lost all hope in life.

As a result, the two of them were arguing, and Xia Yuan used too much force and pushed Mei Fang down on the sofa.

Xia Yuan also leaned down, supporting herself on the sofa with her hands, her twin ponytails hanging naturally, and she stared quietly at Mei Fang in front of her.

Not only Xia Yuan, but Mei Fang had never experienced this kind of up-and-down eye contact in his entire life.

However, seeing that Xia Yuan looked very embarrassed but was still struggling to get up, Mei Fang did not feel that much psychological pressure.

Xia Yuan slowly climbed up from Mei Fang, tidied her hair a little, and then looked at Lin Youxi:

"The nickname turned out to be longer than my real name! It doesn't seem appropriate, don't you think?"

Lin Youxi had been staring at this place in a daze since just now. After being reminded by Xia Yuan, she came back to her senses and nodded, "How about keeping it simple, like Ah Mei and Ah Fang."

"Afang seems like a good name... What do you think?"

"Okay," Mei Fang had no objection, "This is fine."

But I always feel that this name sounds like a funny kid in some creative advertisement. That video was very popular for a while.

Afang and Amei are the most common boys' and girls' names in Guangdong and Guangxi. Meifang gets angry when she thinks that her parents gave her such a cheap name.

"Well, it's settled then!"

After licking his lips subconsciously, Xia Yuan got up and sat on the sofa. After looking at Mei Fang who also sat up, he stammered, "From now on, we will all call you 'Afang'!"

"Afang..."

Lin Youxi tried to shout, and Xia Yuan followed suit, moving closer to Mei Fang and shouting in his ear.

"Afang Afang Afang Afang!"

Mei Fang covered his ears and leaned towards Xia Yuan and shouted loudly to express his protest, "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it!"

“Hahahahahahaha!”

The girls' cheerful laughter echoed throughout the living room.

This chapter will show Lin Youxi's twin ponytails alone, and the next chapter will be Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan's combined twin ponytails!
