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

"No... that——"

"Let me take a look."

Mei Fang led Lin Youxi in the direction pointed by the little girl in his blurry vision. As they walked, Lin Youxi soon stopped in front of a tombstone.

"This... here, this is the tomb of Yuanyuan's family."

Lin Youxi looked up at Mei Fang in surprise, "You, you are just guessing, right?"

"I, I can't say... I really saw a little girl pointing here just now."

"Just think of it as... just think of it as Yuanyuan welcoming me, haha."

As Lin Youxi said this, he and Mei Fang came to Xia Yuan's family's tombstone.

The tomb of Xia Yuan's family was built very luxuriously, and even the material of the stone tablet was much more exquisite than others, but the tombstone was still old and weathered, and it seemed that no one had come to worship for many years.

On the tombstone is a photo of Xia Yuan's family of three. In the photo, the father is handsome, the mother is gentle and lovely, and the daughter is innocent and cute. It is hard to imagine that this is ZS's family.

But what’s the point of lamenting these things now?

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were busy sweeping the graves of Xia Yuan's family. They lit incense sticks and burned yellow paper, which was blown away by the wind. Lin Youxi also placed snacks as tribute to Xia Yuan.

"I'm sorry, Yuanyuan. I haven't seen you for many years. You must be mad at me."

Lin Youxi had already let go of a lot of her emotions just now, and she seemed especially calm when she came to Xia Yuan. "But don't be angry. I brought you your favorite snacks, biscuits, chocolates, and your favorite strawberry-flavored lollipop... Oh, and this, this, this."

Lin Youxi knelt in front of Xia Yuan's tombstone and patted the shoulder of Mei Fang who was also kneeling on the ground.

"This is Ah Fang. Do you have any impression of him? He's a famous bed-wetter. You comforted him and told him not to be sad. I remember you liked him so much when you were in kindergarten. It was just that he didn't like you at that time. Otherwise, I would have thought that you two would have been together for a long time!"

As Lin Youxi was talking, she pulled Mei Fang and said, "Say hello to my best friend Yuanyuan, Fang."

"Hello, hello..."

Mei Fang's somewhat nervous expression immediately amused Lin Youxi to no end, "Why are you as nervous as if you met your first love, hahaha!"

"W-What first love?"

"I know you're afraid of ghosts, but it's okay."

Lin Youxi said in a gentle voice, "Even if our Yuanyuan becomes a ghost, she will still be a cute ghost, a kind ghost, a little angel, and will never harm you."

"If she really becomes a ghost, I would like to meet her."

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "I have a lot of grievances that I want to tell her, and a lot of things that I want to tell her. Our Yuanyuan will definitely listen to me sincerely and attentively, find a way for me, and stand up for me."

"I didn't have a mother when I was a child, and I was always very self-conscious and introverted. It was Yuanyuan who always protected me."

"She said I didn't have a mother, so she came to be my mother."

"Every time we play house, she is the only one who plays with me."

“I couldn’t tie my shoes, and she would help me tie them.”

"I always have a runny nose, so she wipes it for me."

"When there is something delicious or fun, she is always the first to share it with me, and she gives in to me in everything."

"Anyway... I always thought she was the best girl in the world. In fact, I used to fantasize about marrying her and having her be my bride, haha."

Lin Youxi was talking and Mei Fang was listening.

After listening so fascinated, Mei Fang vaguely saw a short-haired girl standing in front of Lin Youxi, gently stroking Lin Youxi's head; her cheeks were blurry and it seemed that she had no facial features; when Mei Fang was shocked and wanted to shout out, the girl turned around and looked at Mei Fang, making a gesture to him to be quiet.

Am I...really seeing a ghost?

Mei Fang was so frightened that he dared not say anything more.

But it really looked like Yuanyuan's ghost.

After Lin Youxi finished talking about the past, he kowtowed to Xia Yuan, and Mei Fang beside him also kowtowed a few times.

When Mei Fang kowtowed for the last time and stood up, he happened to meet the little girl who was blurry in his sight.

Before Mei Fang could open her mouth to speak, the little girl's blurry facial features turned into Xia Yuan's face in the photo. She raised her little head and stared at Mei Fang with a sweet smile, then gave Mei Fang a big hug.

[Thank you... for always being with Youxi]

? !

Mei Fang was about to say something when the little girl holding her suddenly flashed and disappeared like a point of light.

When Mei Fang came to his senses, he saw Lin Youxi staring at him with a playful look:

"You've been in a daze since a while ago. You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I, I'm telling you, I seemed to have seen Yuanyuan just now, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head. "If Yuanyuan was really here, she wouldn't have only seen you and not me. We knew each other for six years when we were alive, and we've known each other for more than ten years after Yuanyuan passed away. Our relationship is much deeper than yours."

"That's true..."

Mei Fang's vague memory could not explain what he had just experienced in his trance, but the stunning glimpse of Xia Yuan's angelic face could not be erased from Mei Fang's mind.

What just happened...

Is it real or imaginary?

……

Hard to understand.

……

In the next few days, Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to visit many old streets in Baimei County. They also checked and sorted out a lot of information together, and sorted out the events they had experienced and had not experienced, which was considered to be preparing many materials for "Baimei Time".

During this period, Lin Youxi had been eating at Mei Fang's house. Xiang Xiaoxia also cared for her son's friend of the opposite sex and treated him as her own child. She even pretended not to hear the noise made by the young people at night, but she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

In this way, Lin Youxi spent the new year at Mei Fang's home.

Lin Youxi will never forget the fact that she didn't have to spend the New Year drinking beer alone.

Because their birthdays are close, Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun also celebrated Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's birthdays together.

When the big cake was served, Lin Youxi's surprise was beyond words.

At first glance...it seems like she is indeed following the development path of a daughter-in-law.

Even Mei Fang was a little too proud of himself, to the point that he felt that Youxi had begun to give in in some areas.

When it was time to leave and go back to work, Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun packed their luggage full and then took a taxi to the waiting hall.

Before leaving, while Mei Fang and Mei Lijun went to the bathroom, Xiang Xiaoxia hesitated for a while, and finally took Lin Youxi's hand and handed a bracelet to her.

"Youxi... Look, this is a jade bracelet that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Mei family. It was left to me by Ah Fang's grandmother. Now you are not young anymore. There are some things that everyone knows even if they are not said. So, I want to give this bracelet to you. I hope you can accept it."

"Wow... this is a really beautiful bracelet."

Lin Youxi gently stroked the jade bracelet Xiang Xiaoxia handed to her. "It feels very warm. I feel at ease when I hold it in my hand. Moreover, the color of this jade is very special at first glance. It doesn't look old at all!"

"If you like it, then try it on. I think it should suit you well..."

Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head, then presented the jade bracelet with both hands and respectfully placed it back in Xiang Xiaoxia's palm.

"Auntie, Mei Fang and I are really just friends - at most, we are childhood sweethearts."

"Oh, Youxi, Auntie knows it may be a little early to say this, but, it is just... Isn't it obvious that Ah Fang treats you and you treat Ah Fang--"

"Auntie, we won't be together."

"You... don't like Ah Fang?"

Lin Youxi shook her head. "My love for Ah Fang may be even deeper than your love for Ah Fang."

"I like Ah Fang more than any other living person in the world. He is my sun and star, and he gives me warmth."

"In that case, then you——"

As Lin Youxi spoke, he tapped his forehead, making a knocking head gesture.

"I have a mental illness, bipolar disorder, manic depression, the kind that can never be cured in my lifetime."

“And it will be passed on to the next generation.”

"Afang certainly didn't tell you these words."

"But I must tell you."

"I'm sorry, I did something despicable... After enjoying the love from my uncle and aunt, I told you the real situation."

"Don't think that I look normal now. When I get sick, I will torture your son to death. He has already experienced it once. The next time I get sick, I may take the initiative to leave him."

"So, I also hope that you can persuade your son to find a normal girl to date."

Lin Youxi's sudden words made Xiang Xiaoxia fall into great shock and bewilderment. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She could only watch Lin Youxi return the bracelet to her palm. She wanted to hand it back but hesitated.

Then, Lin Youxi stood up, patted Xiang Xiaoxia's shoulder gently, bowed his head, and said to her gently:

"Afang is the most gentle boy I have ever met. He deserves a happier and better future. In fact, he can easily find such a good person instead of being with me--"

Lin Youxi put his arm around Xiang Xiaoxia's shoulders, smiled and waved at his beloved who was walking towards him not far away, and continued:

"If you follow me, you can only experience a hellish life that keeps falling into a chaotic spiral, gradually rotting and stinking, and eventually leading to self-destruction."

Chapter 399 A Very New Relationship

After following Lin Guochuan to visit You Xiaobing, on the way back, Lin Guochuan asked Mei Fang this question:

"You, Youxi, and Yuanyuan have always had such a good relationship since childhood, but now all three of you are single... Can you tell Uncle Lin about your plans for the future?"

"Regarding future plans..."

Mei Fang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Right now, the company is still in the initial financing stage, and many developments are still unstable. In addition, I need to study hard at university. The reason why Youxi and I broke up is because I want to focus on my career and studies..."

"I know, so I'm asking about what happens after that."

Lin Guochuan said softly, "You know, uncle only has Youxi as his daughter. Although my family is not as rich as Yuanyuan's family, and I am not like Yuanyuan's father who can invest in your company, Youxi is also my precious daughter, and I will never let her suffer any grievances."

"Uncle, I know this."

"When you were with Yuanyuan before, I happened to find out that you had lung nodules. At that time, I thought that if you really had a terminal illness, we at least had you as our support."

"You were also raised by your uncle, and you have done a lot of favors for our family. Your uncle will always remember that."
