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

"Okay, okay..." Xiang Xiaoxia liked the soaked Lin Youxi more and more. "Come in first. Take a hot bath when you come back to avoid catching a cold."

"it is good."

Then Lin Youxi was arranged to take a shower, while Mei Fang and Mei Lijun sat in the small living room wrapped in blankets.

"Is it not wet?"

"As long as I bring my laptop, it's fine."

As Mei Fang was speaking, Mei Lijun, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at him cheerfully.

"Hey, boy, where did you meet such a pretty girl? She's a local girl, you're quite good at finding one."

"Don't ask so many questions."

"What does she do? Does she make games like you?"

"Ah."

"Where are your parents? Where are they from? Their old family. Maybe your dad and I know their family and I can ask more. Are they not living here now?"

"she--"

Lin Youxi changed into single clothes and came out of the bathroom drying her hair. Xiang Xiaoxia, who was preparing food, trotted over and said, "The hair dryer is over here. I'll get it for you."

"No need, Auntie, I'll get it myself."

"No, no, I'll blow you, don't be polite to your aunt, just treat this as your own home."

"Ok, I know……"

Youxi’s nemesis has been found, hahaha!

Mei Fang could never have imagined that Lin Youxi would be so reserved and gentle in front of her mother, as if she was as well-behaved as a kindergarten child.

But after all, I'm a guest at someone else's house, so feeling embarrassed is normal, right?

After everyone took a shower, Xiang Xiaoxia invited everyone to have dinner together.

Braised fish, steamed pork with rice flour, roasted native chicken, stir-fried cabbage, cauliflower, beans and eggplant, as well as the Chubei Province's specialties of pork ribs and lotus root soup and hammered meat soup. The taste of hometown was instantly filled, and the overflowing aroma made Mei Fang drool.

"Oh my god, this is as sumptuous as Chinese New Year."

"My son brought his girlfriend back home. This is not something as happy as Chinese New Year—ah, bah, it's a friend of the opposite sex."

Before Mei Fang came, she specifically told Xiang Xiaoxia not to mistake Lin Youxi's identity. Of course, Xiang Xiaoxia completely regarded it as a test before the relationship was completely confirmed. He said he was going to live in her house, so how could she not mind having an ordinary friend of the opposite sex?

Xiang Xiaoxia kept staring at Lin Youxi. After taking a bath, Lin Youxi looked elegant and refined, and it was obvious that she was not a girl from an ordinary family.

"Come on, eat more, Lin Youxi...right?"

"Just call me Youyouxi, Auntie."

Lin Youxi responded softly, then ate her rice in small bites. She didn't even have to pick up the food herself, Xiang Xiaoxia filled her cup directly, "Eat more."

"Wife, you are feeding a pig. How can a little girl finish eating so much?"

"You're the only one who knows how to talk! Who are you calling a pig? Shut up!"

Xiang Xiaoxia pushed Mei Lijun with disdain. Lin Youxi was eating happily. Mei Fang was worried that she was shy, so he took the initiative to approach her and asked:

"Can you finish all these dishes? If not, give me some."

"No, I can finish it, it's all delicious."

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were having a lively meal, while Xiang Xiaoxia took this opportunity to chat with Lin Youxi:

"Youxi, where did you live when you were a child?"

"I live on Renmin Avenue, in the alley next to Xiangyang Community." Lin Youxi asked softly, "Is Xiangyang Community still there?"

"Xiangyang Community?!"

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia were stunned for a moment when they heard this. "Isn't that where we lived before? We lived in that neighborhood before."

"Is that so? Yuanyuan also lives in that neighborhood."

"Yuanyuan is——"

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "She was a very good friend of mine when I was little. She, Ah Fang and I went to kindergarten together when we were little. I still remember it."

"Ah? Is this true? So you two have known each other since you were young? This is really fate..."

"Yes……"

Mei Lijun asked while picking his teeth, "What's your father's name, Youxi? I ​​might know your father."

"My dad...my dad's name is Lin Guochuan."

"Lin Guochuan? This name... sounds familiar."

"I think so too! Maybe I really know him..."

Xiang Xiaoxia thought about it and couldn't remember the name for a while, so she asked Lin Youxi, "How is it, Youxi, is the food cooked by Auntie to your taste?"

“Delicious, delicious. Very delicious.”

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Ah Fang is so lucky to have a mother who is so good at cooking."

Hearing Lin Youxi calling their son Ah Fang, Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun were so happy that they said a few more words, "Does it feel like your mother's?"

"Um……"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "This is my blind spot in knowledge..."

"Blind spot in knowledge?"

Mei Fang quickly explained, "Youxi...her mother died when she was three years old."

"Ah...Is that so? I'm so, so sorry...Auntie didn't know."

"It's okay, Aunt Xiang."

Lin Youxi smiled softly and said, "You are right, this should be the taste of my mother."

"If you have a chance to go home, come to my house often to eat. Auntie will definitely feed you until you are plump and white!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Lin Guochuan...Lin Guochuan...I remember it!"

Mei Lijun pondered, "Your father should be the third son of the Lin family in Dongmen Aquatic Street, who works on the construction site. I remember he seemed to have been there a few years ago..."

"Yeah, my dad died too."

Lin Youxi said softly, "He died during my senior year."

"..."

Mei Lijun single-handedly brought the topic to an unexpectedly heavy level, and Xiang Xiaoxia couldn't help but start wiping away tears as she listened.

"You are such a sad child. You have been without a mother since childhood, and your father also passed away later. Why is your life so miserable..."

"Ah, it's not that scary anymore. I'm used to it now."

Xiang Xiaoxia came closer and said, "Can I give you a hug?"

"what……"

Lin Youxi didn't expect Xiang Xiaoxia to suddenly ask her this. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay."

As Xiang Xiaoxia spoke, she hugged Lin Youxi. A warm feeling came from her body, and her dry and calloused hands gently stroked Lin Youxi's back.

"We used to live very close to each other. It would have been great if I could have met Youxi earlier."

Xiang Xiaoxia said gently, "When the time comes, you can come to my house every day to eat delicious food. It will be like I have another daughter. How wonderful it would be..."

"It's not too late now."

Mei Lijun echoed, "Just stay at our house for a few days, and feel the changes in Baimei County with Mei Fang, okay?"

"Ah."

Lin Youxi closed her eyes and leaned on Xiang Xiaoxia's shoulder, her body trembling slightly. Mei Fang just watched her quietly, and when she saw a tear running down the corner of Lin Youxi's eyes, she suddenly couldn't hold it back.

A hug from her mother like this was the mother-son interaction that Mei Fang had disliked since she was a child.

But for Lin Youxi, this might be her first experience ever.

How did this girl survive every day and night when her father was busy with work and her mother was not there to take care of her...

……

call……

Mei Fang stood up and walked towards the toilet.

An inexplicable feeling of palpitations came over him.

He came to the bathroom and suddenly leaned against the wall, feeling somewhat exhausted. He clutched his chest, his face distorted in pain.

This kind of chest pain hasn't happened for a long time since he stopped working overtime. Every time he went for a check-up, he was just told to stay up less late, but this time he felt particularly scared.

Well……

Don't do it at this time -

Mei Fang covered his aching heart, leaned against the bathroom door, slowly sat down, and tried to calm himself down.

He didn't want Lin Youxi to see him like this, so he forced himself not to shout out.

She finally felt a little bit of happiness.

I can't let her think... it's her problem again—

Mei Fang's current house is an old one, but because it is located in the urban area of ​​a small town, one can always hear the speakers of the clothing store outside the house.

At this time, the song "The Nameless Man" coming from the loudspeaker is very appropriate for the occasion. Ordinary and ordinary small town test-takers like Mei Fang -

About their insignificant life journey of joys and sorrows and bitterness and helplessness——

[I am the nameless person on this road]
