After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

As for the music idol route, Xia Yuan herself knew that without Mei Fang's guidance in lyrics and composition, she would not be able to write such songs.

Even without talking about helping each other in business, in life, Youxi can almost do everything that Yuanyuan can do. However, Yuanyuan has not mastered many of Youxi's skills, and she is completely suppressed by Youxi.

I'm actually...not completely level yet, am I?

Yuanyuan also said something similar to Mei Fang today, but Mei Fang really just took it as a way of acting cute...

Yu Ling said that she would only chat with Mei Fang for a while, but she ended up delaying the conversation for half an hour.

Xia Yuan hid deeper in the quilt because she was afraid of being discovered. The quilt was very thick so she couldn't hear what her mother said. She could only keep attacking Mei Fang gently to remind her to finish quickly.

After Mei Fang finally sent Yu Ling away and turned off the lights, Xia Yuan crawled out of Mei Fang's bed with a sense of relief, breathing heavily.

"What did my mom talk to you about for so long?"

"Of course, let's talk about you."

"Come on, come ...

"Oh, just entrust Yuanyuan to me and ask me to treat you well and not let you down."

Mei Fang said to Xia Yuan gently, "But your family really loves you."

"Of course...either my dad or my mom."

Perhaps, it was because of this heartfelt love that he couldn't bear to leave her alone in this world.

Of course, although this was a very distant thing, whenever Mei Fang thought of it, he would hug Xia Yuan tightly and become intimate with her.

"You just like hugging me so much?"

"You can't use so much force, just rub it gently..."

Xia Yuan blushed and gently stroked Mei Fang. She leaned close to Mei Fang's ear and whispered softly:

"Want... help?"

"Um……"

Mei Fang buried herself in Xia Yuan's arms and started to act like a baby.

It was also during this intimate interaction that Mei Fang understood again.

How could he not rely on fate?

Youxi gave him the friendship of like-minded people, but Yuanyuan gave her the warm and comforting harbor like home. Both are indispensable parts of Mei Fang.

In the future, I should show Yuanyuan more of my dependence on her.

He spent a warm night at Xia Yuan's home.

The next day, after having breakfast at Xia Yuan's house, Mei Fang saw Youxi's message saying that she was going to accompany her parents for a physical examination. Originally, Mei Fang was thinking about whether he should go with Youxi to spend some time with her, but before he could send a message, Lin Youxi predicted and rejected him.

In her reply, Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang to remember to hold a video conference to determine the name of the live broadcast section and its current progress, but Xia Yuan had to go to say goodbye to his family today and could not accompany Mei Fang.

Without the support of the gentle countryside, Mei Fang felt that life had lost its fun and could only ride his bike back to prepare to work hard. However, he met Liu Xiaoyu on the way back from Yuanyuan's house.

When Mei Fang saw Liu Xiaoyu, he wanted to go up to her and say hello, but when he got closer, he realized that she had been walking with her head down without looking at the road, and looked very upset. She almost bumped head-on into a telephone pole, and only came to her senses when Mei Fang yelled her name.

"Mei, Mei Fang?"

She held her forehead which was about to hit, and looked at the surprised face: "You...you bought an electric car?"

“Is it so surprising that I bought an electric car?”

"I did not mean that."

Liu Xiaoyu mumbled and stammered for a while, and Mei Fang saw that she was nervous and didn't dwell on the issue.

"Where are you going now?"

"I'm just about to go back."

"Isn't your home on Jiantao Road? This is quite far from there."

Mei Fang hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message to Mei Youyuan's group.

After receiving positive responses from Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi in seconds, Mei Fang asked Liu Xiaoyu, "Do you want me to take you back?"

"It's okay... I can just take a taxi or bus. If that doesn't work, I'll just take a walk."

"It's okay, I'm on my way, I'll give you a ride!"

Mei Fang moved his butt forward a little, then patted the back seat of his car and said to Liu Xiaoyu: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, come on up!"

"No need...really no need..."

Liu Xiaoyu was obviously very resistant to the back seat of Mei Fang's car, as if sitting there was a very big deal. While trying to get rid of Mei Fang's invitation, because the ground was icy and the road was slippery, Liu Xiaoyu accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, covering his ankle in pain, obviously he had sprained his foot.

Well, I have to sit down now...

Chapter 280 Thank you for understanding me

Liu Xiaoyu had never thought that there would be a day when he would sit in the back seat of Mei Fang's car, and this was when Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were not present.

She is actually quite embarrassed now.

But Mei Fang obviously didn't think about many things like her.

Now he no longer actively avoids suspicion when he sees Liu Xiaoyu like he did before. After all, all his attention is now on Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, with whom he has become a lover.

For Mei Fang, Liu Xiaoyu is a friend of the opposite sex and a subordinate with whom he has a good relationship.

The slightly special thing is that Liu Xiaoyu is currently the only girl who knows that Mei Fang is in a threesome.

She avoided too much physical contact with Mei Fang, and even when sitting in the back seat of the car, she just put her hands on the edge of the car.

Fortunately, the electric car Mei Fang bought was very large, so she wouldn't bump into him when she sat down.

He deliberately bought such a large electric car, probably to make it convenient to carry Yuanyuan and Youxi at the same time...

Liu Xiaoyu inexplicably recalled the scene of Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi riding a bike together. At this time, Mei Fang turned around and asked Liu Xiaoyu, which almost scared her:

"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital to check your foot?"

"No, no, I'll be very grateful if you can just take me home."

Liu Xiaoyu hummed and didn't dare to look at Mei Fang, then lowered his head to look at his phone.

However, Mei Fang rarely met her, and they had basically no contact after the New Year, so he still had a lot of questions.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of the further development in music that I mentioned to you earlier?"

"Well...about that matter——"

Liu Xiaoyu hesitated for a while and said, "I need to think about it for a while."

"Are you having any troubles? Pressure from home?"

"There will be some family issues, and I am worried that my family will object, so I am considering how to bring this up."

"But I think that if the bonus is taken out, it will be a very convincing thing."

"..."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your bonus? Did the finance department not transfer the money to you?"

Liu Xiaoyu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's a fight, it's not about the money... I just haven't figured out how to tell my family yet."

"Why haven't you told me yet?" Mei Fang was a little surprised. "It's been almost half a month. I thought you had given the money a long time ago."

Liu Xiaoyu lowered his voice and murmured as he nodded, "I'm still thinking about how to explain this to my dad, because my dad is a very chauvinistic person. If he knew that I had been hiding other things from him at school, I'm worried that he would lose his temper."

"Also...my father has a very strong personality. I'm also worried that he won't accept my help and won't let me continue working with you guys now."

"Why didn't you tell us earlier? We would have helped you solve the problem together."

Liu Xiaoyu shook his head. "You all helped me a lot."

"So what are your plans? You can't just keep hesitating and not do it."

"It's almost the end of the year these days, and someone will probably come to collect debts. I thought if I gave the money to my father at that time, he would probably be more willing to accept it..."

"That would feel a bit passive. Your dad doesn't necessarily have no money to pay back those people, right?"

Liu Xiaoyu lowered his head and said nothing. Mei Fang waited for a while and turned around to look at Liu Xiaoyu.

"Let me ask you... let me ask you a question that is not very appropriate. Are you aware of your family's debt situation?"

Liu Xiaoyu nodded, "It should be several million..."

Mei Fang was shocked. "Since the time when I took over Yuanyuan's hotel, I wouldn't have owed you so much money, right?"

"Not really... don't misunderstand me."

Liu Xiaoyu said softly, "My family lost a lot of money because we took over that hotel, but we still had a lot of savings at that time."

"After that, my dad started a business with someone else, but they failed several times. Later, my dad had fewer and fewer friends, and he owed more and more money. Now he can only make money by doing things for others."

"That's it..."

Mei Fang lamented in his heart the misfortune of Liu Xiaoyu's family. At least from the Liu Xiaoyu that Mei Fang knew in his previous life, her family had always been quite well-off when she was in high school.

"Thank you for your hard work... It must be hard to be asked to pay back debts at the end of the year, right?"

"Hehe...it's not comfortable, but I'm used to it."

Ever since she broke up with her best friend in junior high school, Liu Xiaoyu has never talked about these family matters with her peers, not even with her close friend Xia Yuan. After talking to Mei Fang for a while today, her tense heart relaxed a little, and she suddenly felt aggrieved.

"But if possible, I really don't want to endure it..."

“I know that feeling.”

"Will you understand it too?"

Liu Xiaoyu was just expressing his doubts, but after he said it, it sounded a bit like irony, so he quickly waved his hand to deny it, "I'm not questioning you, it's just... I think your family background is pretty good, so--"

Mei Fang did not directly take up Liu Xiaoyu's topic, but said softly while facing the winter wind, "Other families are celebrating the New Year happily, but you can't buy the beautiful clothes you see, and you don't have pocket money to buy the delicious snacks. There are many beautiful fireworks, but you can only watch others play from afar, and hope that your neighbor's friends can give you some fairy wands to play with."

"And the most uncomfortable thing is that at the end of the year, you have to turn off the stove and lights. Especially when strangers show up at the door and your parents are not at home, they keep knocking on the door. You can only turn off all the lights and the TV, and then hide in the corner shivering, waiting for their sudden knocks to stop, so that you can feel a little relieved."

"But the most painful part is that you can't tell your family about the pain you're going through because of their debt, because you know they're already working very hard to pay off the debt, and you're afraid they'll feel even more psychological pressure after knowing it. You also don't dare tell people around you, because you're afraid they'll look down on you, or give you too much sympathy, and then you won't be treated equally."

"Once you get used to it, you swallow it down in your stomach and heart, and then you dare not try anything, and you are always hesitant about everything. Then you get used to silently enduring all kinds of unfairness and grievances, and you even dare not lose your temper with others, for fear of causing trouble to your family..."

As Mei Fang was talking, he realized that he had already reached Jiantao Road, so he turned around and looked at Liu Xiaoyu, "By the way, which direction is your home——"
