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

Lin Youxi smiled slightly and said, "I'm much better now. I had a stomachache yesterday."

"It seems like you really don't care."

Xia Yuan patted Lin Youxi's shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you smile like this in a long time."

"Yes...yes."

Lin Youxi asked Xia Yuan suspiciously, "I don't usually seem so cold, do I?"

"Yes, there is. If you don't believe me, ask Ah Fang!"

"I don't think so..."

Mei Fang scratched his head, "Youxi is not the kind of person who likes to laugh and joke, so this is normal, right?"

"Who doesn't like to laugh? Youxi, you're usually in poor health because you always have a gloomy face. If you were as happy as me every day, you would be in good health!"

Xia Yuan pinched Lin Youxi's cheek to make her mouth slightly upturned, "Smile and you will look ten years younger! Do you know that?"

"Uh-huh……"

Lin Youxi responded to Xia Yuan a few times, and was forced to force a smile. Mei Fang, who was standing by, watched the two of them arguing and felt very relieved.

Everyone walked towards the school talking and laughing. Lin Youxi accompanied Xia Yuan to talk about their recent studies, but she would always turn the topic to Mei Fang from time to time.

"If you ask Ah Fang this question, he will know how to do it."

"What do you think, Alfon?"

"I think Alphonse probably likes it too."

Lin Youxi's unusual behavior of mentioning Mei Fang's name also aroused Xia Yuan's vigilance. "Youxi, I'm asking what you think. Why do you keep mentioning Ah Fang?"

"I, am..."

Lin Youxi lowered her head, pursed her lips and put her hands in her pockets, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Mei Fang thought that Youxi might have come to her senses and started to have feelings for me. Yuanyuan must not push her too much and affect the relationship between them.

So Mei Fang clapped his hands and pushed him, jokingly saying:

"Hahaha, Youxi is really weird today. Do you like me? I want to tell my mom."

"Stinky Ah Fang, narcissist!"

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi seemed to be particularly cooperative and in harmony when they were chasing Mei Fang together.

When the commotion reached school and the three of them went to their respective classes, Lin Youxi suddenly turned around and looked at Mei Fang.

"Afang."

"how?"

Lin Youxi's expression seemed very serious:

"I want to tell you something, I hope you can promise me."

"Ah...just tell me the thing first, and see if I can do it."

Mei Fang felt something was not right. Could it be that his teasing words just now just hit the nail on the head for Lin Youxi, speeding up her pace of taking the initiative?

The water is about to pour out...

Just when Mei Fang was at a loss, Lin Youxi continued:

"That is, I hope you can be nice to Yuanyuan, be her friend, and don't bully her."

"I, I'm also very nice to Yuanyuan now."

"What I mean is... you should always be Yuanyuan's good friend."

Lin Youxi said gently, "Although Yuanyuan has a cheerful personality, she is also very fragile and afraid of loneliness, so... you have to protect her well."

This sounds like...

I plan to withdraw from the competition with Yuanyuan and maintain a friendly relationship with myself.

Mei Fang didn't know what Lin Youxi was planning at the moment.

However, as he had just entered the first grade of junior high school, he had not thought too much about the future of the two of them. Many things were uncertain right now.

"We are childhood sweethearts, so of course I will treat Yuanyuan well, but... Youxi, why did you suddenly say such a thing? It sounds like you are very lonely."

“No loneliness.”

Lin Youxi shook her head. "This is a sign of maturity."

Mature?

Mei Fang didn't understand Lin Youxi's interpretation of maturity, but caring too much about it wouldn't produce any results.

"You look like you're worried. If you have something bothering you, you should tell me. If it's inconvenient, you should also tell Yuanyuan—"

"No, nothing... I'm fine!"

Lin Youxi hurriedly returned to her seat and sat down, then took out a book and started reading.

Looking at Mei Fang's back in front of him, the loneliness that Mei Fang had said began to gradually arise in Lin Youxi's heart.

I still don’t know what disease I have.

However, based on previous experience, if it is blood in the urine, it is definitely not a minor illness.

My father works already very hard, and if we tell him about this, our family won’t have enough money for his treatment.

Although if I ask Yuanyuan, she might lend it to me, but... if it is a terminal illness, not only will it waste Yuanyuan's family's money, but I will also have to endure a lot of pain and torture.

I might as well just pretend that nothing happened until I die...

If I died, Yuanyuan and Afang would definitely be very sad.

But Yuanyuan and Afang will always remember me.

Always remember that I once appeared in their lives.

They have such a good relationship, they will definitely get married when they grow up.

Maybe the child they have will be named after me in my memory?

but……

That will be a long, long time later. Maybe they will have already lived a happy life and forgotten me.

As Lin Youxi was thinking, she suddenly recalled the time when she and Mei Fang went to the cemetery to visit her mother in the fourth grade.

After I die, only my father will remember me.

But, Dad will be very sad...

Lin Youxi was thinking about something, and before she knew it, her stomach started to hurt again. The tormenting feeling in her stomach made her feel like she was dying, but she just bit her lip and lay on the table without saying a word.

They endured until the morning reading was over. Yue Xinyi, who was standing by, asked about Lin Youxi's condition with concern. Mei Fang stood up and saw Lin Youxi's pain. He immediately asked with concern:

"Is it hurting again? It was like this last night... Let's ask the teacher for leave and I'll take you to the hospital, okay?"

Lin Youxi held her stomach and shook her head. Yue Xinyi, who was standing beside her, was shouting that she wanted to find the head teacher, but was stopped by Lin Youxi.

"Don't tell the homeroom teacher. I...I'll just bear with it."

"But, squad leader, you are like this..."

Seeing Lin Youxi's sad face with tears in her eyes and thinking about what happened yesterday, Mei Fang hesitated for a while, but finally decided to move closer and whispered something in Lin Youxi's ear.

Seeing Lin Youxi's surprised and puzzled expression, Mei Fang finally understood:

"wait for me a while!"

Mei Fang was about to rush out of the classroom, but was grabbed by Lin Youxi who was standing by.

"Don't... don't tell Yuanyuan."

"Don't worry... I'm not going to tell Yuanyuan! Wait for me!"

Mei Fang rushed out of the classroom at lightning speed. Just when Lin Youxi didn't know what Mei Fang was going to do, Mei Fang reappeared from the classroom door panting; but the difference was that there seemed to be something stuffed in his arms.

Mei Fang slowly took out the stuffed item from her cotton-padded jacket, then passed it to Lin Youxi from under the desk.

Lin Youxi took the item from Mei Fang. It was something she had never used before.

"this is……"

"Ah, I know this, it's that one!"

Yue Xinyi suddenly realized after seeing this, "Youxi, is this your first time here?"

"What...first time?"

"My mother told me that after girls enter puberty—"

Before Yue Xinyi could finish explaining the science to Lin Youxi, Li Shibing had already arrived at the classroom. Seeing this, Mei Fang immediately went up to him and whispered to him.

After Li Shibing learned about the situation, he immediately tore out a release note from his desk and handed it to Mei Fang, but he was a little hesitant when handing it to Mei Fang.

"I know you mean well, but isn't it inconvenient for a boy to go there?"

"Teacher Li, you know the situation of Youxi's family. I will send her to my house and my mother will teach her how to use it."

"Okay, then you have to take good care of her."

After getting Li Shibing's assurance, Mei Fang hurried over to greet Lin Youxi, "I'll take you home, to my house. My mother is at home and she will teach you."

"Well...but..."

Seeing that Lin Youxi seemed reluctant to get up, Mei Fang also considerately leaned over and asked her in a low voice:

“Is it leaking?”

Lin Youxi nodded gently. This was one of the few times when her ears turned red to her neck in front of Mei Fang. The shy feeling made Mei Fang feel both happy and distressed. He immediately took off his cotton-padded jacket and handed it to Lin Youxi.

"If I'm worried about being seen, I can tie my clothes around my waist and it will be blocked."

"But... you will be cold—"

"You can't be cold now, that's all."

"Squad leader, just listen to Mei Fang!"

Yue Xinyi, who was enjoying herself on the side, was also very happy. She used to think that Mei Fang was a mentally retarded boy, but now she sees that he is really useful at critical moments.

"Mei Fang, I take back my previous evaluation of you."
