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

"Do you dislike me?"

"How is it possible? Hey—"

Mei Fang was quietly complaining to Lin Youxi as she watched Lin Youxi use her cup to get water. At this point the work group was already in an uproar.

[Damn it, Brother Fang’s girlfriend is too beautiful! ]

[Isn’t this the penguin girl I had dinner with before? I hate her so much. ]

[Brothers walk together for life, whoever gets out of being single first is a dog, Brother Fang, you have no heart. 】

[Brother Fang works so much overtime and still has a partner, but you, Xiao Cao, have nothing to do every day and earn so little money, yet you still don’t have a partner. You should reflect on this!]

[I am just a piece of trash that no one loves, okay! Woohoo]

【Caring for Xiao Cao is everyone’s responsibility】

Mei Fang's screen was filled with booing chats. Now, while he felt ashamed, he also felt particularly happy.

Is this what they call showing affection?

Lin Youxi came over with some water and drank while watching Mei Fang work. With someone she liked watching her, Mei Fang became more motivated and quickly finished all the work.

"Okay, now we can get out of this."

At this time, Xiao Cao tagged Mei Fang.

[Brother Fang, there shouldn't be any problem now. I'll keep an eye on you. Go on your date quickly and don't keep your sister-in-law waiting too long.]

[I don’t feel comfortable leaving it to you…]

Mei Fang had just finished typing, and then saw Lin Youxi who was a little drowsy beside him, so he returned the characters he had typed.

【Thank you then】

Mei Fang is not a born workaholic, he just has a dream about games since he was young.

He probably still loves games.

But now he has something more precious.

The two bought some semi-finished dishes at a convenience store. On the way home walking with Lin Youxi, Mei Fang looked up at Lin Youxi's reflection elongated by the setting sun, mustered up the courage to chase after her, and patted Lin Youxi on the shoulder.

"By the way, Lin Youxi, do you have time the day after tomorrow...on holiday?"

"No, I'm busy."

"Huh? That..."

Lin Youxi looked at Mei Fang and touched his nose awkwardly, then tilted his head and smiled, "I will only have time to accompany you if you call me Youxi."

"Then... Yes."

Mei Fang was a little embarrassed when he murmured. He cleared his throat and said gently:

"Let's go out for dinner the day after tomorrow. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

"Whatever, it's up to you."

"Is it really so casual? There is nothing you can avoid eating."

“There’s always something I can eat.”

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Besides, there's a guaranteed dessert in front of me, right?"

"what……"

Mei Fang knew that Lin Youxi was talking about him, but it was really embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Anyway, you're free, right? Then I'll prepare in advance."

"Rather than worrying about the day after tomorrow, let's spend tonight well first. You still have to match the watch, don't forget to do this."

"Yeah... I know!"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi smiled at each other. They could clearly feel that the tacit understanding between them had risen to a new level after yesterday's events.

However, if he continued to be with Lin Youxi blindly, it would be extremely irresponsible to her.

This is not a situation that Mei is willing to accept.

He wanted to give Lin Youxi a status.

On the day of May 520, Mei Fang took Lin Youxi to a western restaurant in a business district near their home for dinner.

The candlelight in the restaurant was like a dream, and the melodious violin music made people immersed in it. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi ate steak while lightly clinking their glasses. The mellow red wine made both of them a little tipsy.

"This restaurant is so full, it looks hard to get a seat, right?"

Lin Youxi said gently, "I can tell you put a lot of effort into this."

"Let's not talk about that for now, how does it taste?"

Lin Youxi thought for a moment and said, "The red wine is pretty good, but other than that it just tastes expensive."

The last time Mei Fang mustered up the courage to chase Lin Youxi was also under the beer. In his hazy vision, the appearance of his beloved was reflected in his sight. Finally, he could no longer bear the desire in his heart, and slowly moved forward and held Lin Youxi's hand.

As if she had anticipated Mei Fang's move, Lin Youxi did not shrink back. Instead, she put down her knife and fork and looked up at this person who had special meaning to her.

"Lin Youxi..."

"Ah."

"I...I like you."

"Can you date me? I want to be with you... forever."

"No."

Lin Youxi responded to Mei Fang's extremely shocked expression with a smile.

Because he thought it was a natural thing.

"I actually think we are not suitable for each other. It's better for us to just be friends."

Lin Youxi did not break free from Mei Fang's tightly grasped hand, but used a fork to pick up the steak with one hand, and then explained while holding the food in his mouth:

"But if you want to kiss me, I can accompany you. We can go to the movies, have a date, go out, and do anything that lovers can do. By the way, if you really want to sleep with me, I am willing to do it with you as long as your body can handle it. I also want to do it with you."

"You mean... we can't establish a relationship, but we can still do things between lovers?"

Mei Fang didn’t quite understand Lin Youxi, and the sadness on his face was about to overflow.

"Why does it have to be like this..."

"Hmm... why? I don't really understand."

Lin Youxi held his chin and thought for a while, "Anyway, I've already made up my mind. I don't plan to fall in love with a living creature that can breathe in my life. As for getting married, I've never even thought about it."

"I understand……"

Mei Fang slowly let go of Lin Youxi's hand, loneliness and sadness almost written all over her face.

But then Mei Fang just continued eating with his head down and stopped talking.

Lin Youxi asked:

"Won't you just walk out in anger and dump me?"

"I'm afraid you'll get sick outside, and I'll have to go find you in the end."

"Hey, I hope you figured it out."

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's head and said, "I am such a bad woman. If you like me, you will end up badly. I have already warned you."

After Lin Youxi and Mei Fang finished their meal, paid the bill and prepared to take a taxi. On the way, Lin Youxi took the initiative to hold Mei Fang's hand to show closeness, but this time Mei Fang took the initiative to break free.

His explanation for this is -

"Since you don't plan to date me, then let's not hold hands. It's not good to cause others to misunderstand our relationship..."

"You're still angry and haven't thought it through at all."

Lin Youxi took the initiative to move forward and hold Mei Fang's hand. Mei Fang dodged several times. Finally, Lin Youxi grabbed Mei Fang's shoulder and warned him seriously:

"If you don't let me hold your hand, I will lock you out tonight and won't let you sleep in my house."

"Hey, don't be so unreasonable, can we rent a house together?"

"I don't care. If you come in, I will sue you for trying to do something bad to me."

"Isn't that reasonable..."

Mei Fang was finally held by Lin Youxi's hand.

He was forced.

"Hehe... It would be great if it were this way earlier. Everyone can be happy and get what they need."

Looking at Lin Youxi who was happily holding hands with him and walking forward with big strides, Mei Fang felt a little uncomfortable.

Although in reality it is no different from being together.

But this is not the result Mei wants.

"Youxi... I actually know what you are worried about. I know the severity of bipolar disorder type 1 better than anyone else."

“I know it’s a lifelong disease, I know it’s never going to be cured, and I know it’s going to be passed down to the next generation.”

"But it doesn't matter, because you are the girl I have decided to protect."

"When I confessed my love to you, I was ready to walk with you forever and endure your torture forever."

"You have to believe me, Youxi..."

"Uh-huh...what did you say? I wasn't listening."

Lin Youxi came closer and looked at Mei Fang, but he was too embarrassed to look Lin Youxi in the eye.

"What I mean is... I hope... I just hope that you can believe that I am sincere to you."

"Of course I know you are sincere to me."

"And I know it better than anyone else."

Lin Youxi held Mei Fang's cheek and looked at him with a smile.

"So, do you want to kiss me? It's hard not to in this atmosphere..."
