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

There were a lot of sundries in Peng Xue's room, and her underwear was placed randomly when she entered the room. She, who had a slightly weird personality, quickly cleaned up the things, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and chatted about some long-standing stories about Baimei County.

Lin Youxi didn't mind following Mei Fang to meet these fellow villagers from Baimei County. Listening to them talk about the past also gave Lin Youxi some special insights. However, there were too few topics to talk about, and the two did not dare to ask Peng Xue why she was still working as a waitress after more than ten years in Pengcheng.

Until Lin Youxi's eyes fell on a "guitar" placed in the corner of the room.

"Peng Xue, you like music, right? Do you play guitar?"

Lin Youxi said, pointing at the musical instrument beside him.

"Well... I'm learning to sing folk songs, and sometimes I sing in bars. But the instrument you're referring to is a ukulele, not a guitar. My guitar is right here."

Peng Xue showed off her old guitar, then touched her nose and smiled, "But my job doesn't make much money, and not many people listen to the songs I write. After all, I don't know when I will die in Pengcheng. Anyway, I will never go back to be a brother-supporting demon. This is just a psychological sustenance for me to survive here."

Perhaps it was because she hadn't shared her thoughts for too long, and Peng Xue's few short sentences seemed to hide a lot of past information. However, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi didn't ask in detail. Lin Youxi took the initiative to ask Peng Xue about her musical dream.

"Can you play the song you wrote for us? I'm a little curious."

Mei Fang on the side reminded Lin Youxi, "Youxi, don't forget her hand—"

Peng Xue laughed freely after hearing this, "Ahahaha, my arm is fine. I'm glad you want to hear about it! It's a good chance to get rid of the bad luck on my body. It's really speechless to meet a low-class man. Just consider this as a thank you gift for helping me. Oh, by the way, I will definitely return the money to you later, Mei Fang."

"It's okay, just tell me on your prestige."

So Peng Xue picked up his broken wooden guitar, tuned it briefly, and began to play the song "Beautiful Things" for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi with his eyes closed.

【In the midsummer, you come back to listen to the cicadas】

【Traveling in the North Again and Knowing the Cold】

【It’s worth being young along the way】

【There is a happy ending】

[Look, the playful drizzle is waving across the clouds]

[I have repaired a flickering lamp somewhere in the shop]

[Listen, the river flows by and people are clamoring to get ashore]

[Have you been to Jiangnan in March with fireworks?]

[Look, Qiuyue gently tears the petals]

[But just for fun in the late winter when the snow is falling]

[You said you wanted to forget all the unpleasant moments]

【Complete the beautiful things with innocence】

Holding the guitar in her arms, Peng Xue seemed to have completely changed into a new image, from a cold and world-weary young spiritual girl to a literary and artistic young woman full of energy pursuing her musical dream.

Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder and listened quietly to Peng Xue's performance, as if she was recalling distant memories of the past in Peng Xue's music.

Mei Fang was also immersed in Peng Xue's small, narrow, and almost impossible dream, feeling her stubbornness, and -

Always have hope.

Chapter 412: Becoming a Parent for the First Time

Since Sanhua Niangniang abandoned her six children and disappeared, now the Mei Youyuan Big Three need help taking care of Sanhua's six little kittens.

The first issue facing the three of them was how to name the kittens.

The name of Sanhua, Xia Yuan, took her a long time to come up with. Now the six little cuties had to be named again. Xia Yuan was overwhelmed and wrote all kinds of combinations of words on the notebook, but they were basically all about food.

"Yuanyuan, don't worry about it. Your black sesame, white peach, orange and so on are too hard to remember. Just do what I say!"

"I don't want to give the babies such an ugly name. Ah Fang, you don't love the babies at all!"

"A simple name is better for giving birth. Look how simple my name is."

"I don't think so! I think Alfang is a nice name."

Mei Fang named the six cats Big Orange, Little Orange, Big White, Little White, Big Black, and Little Black, and Mei Fang was very proud of it.

At this time, Lin Youxi put forward his own opinion and said, "The problem now is that it is easy to remember the difference between two kittens of the same color. After all, there is no pattern identification. I think it will be easier to remember them using the one, two, three, four, five, six method like that."

Mei Fang nodded and said, "Okay, then big orange, two white, three black, four orange -"

"Afang! You are so mean! Don't just because your name is simple--"

Xia Yuan covered her mouth in the middle of her words. Mei Fang seized the opportunity to pinch Xia Yuan's cheek and hit back fiercely, "Okay - now you admit that my name is not nice! You bad Yuanyuan, I'll teach you a lesson! Lift your pg up for Daddy!"

"Don't act like a hooligan so early in the morning!"

The last six little ones were named by Xia Yuan as Daju (the heaviest orange cat), Ernai (Nai in milk, the older sister of the white cats), Sanye (Ye in night, associated with the color black), Sixi (the orange cat that had no better name), Wuyue (the moon can be associated with the color black) and Xiaobai.

Xia Yuan was actually not satisfied with many of the names in this name, but Mei Fang was still a little bit persistent about the naming rights, which seemed to be a compromise.

This way all three people feel involved.

Because the kittens were born not long ago, even their meows are not very loud. Now there is no mother to feed them, so Mei Youyuan can only buy goat milk and a special milk feeder to feed them. This milk feeder is not like a baby bottle, but an object like a syringe.

When the kitten was born, it was only the size of a palm and couldn’t even open its eyes. Three people had to feed it seven or eight times a day.

Because it was Xia Yuan who first proposed the idea of ​​raising cats, Xia Yuan would always take the initiative to assume more responsibilities when taking care of the kittens and would actively rush to do any work.

As for the job of feeding breasts, Xia Yuan took it all on himself and did not let Lin Youxi and Mei Fang interfere.

This lasted for a week, and Xia Yuan was so tired from feeding the milk that she couldn't even open her eyes. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi felt very distressed when they saw this, so Mei Fang took the initiative to stop Xia Yuan who was feeding the cat.

"Yuanyuan, let me help you feed it."

"No, no, I can do it... Ah Fang, you must be tired from cleaning up the stinky things."

"I've seen you feed me so many times, I know how to do it, give it to me."

“No, no… I’ll do it, I’ll do it—”

Xia Yuan said a few words and the chickens began to peck at the rice. Mei Fang, who was standing by, took the milk feeder and fed it to the kitten. Lin Youxi, who was standing by, also helped. Xia Yuan quickly dissuaded them, saying:

"Youxi, Ah Fang and I will be here. You don't understand this—"

Lin Youxi ignored Xia Yuan and continued feeding the kittens. Her technique was skillful and professional, and Xia Yuan looked very surprised.

"Hey, when did you--"

"Do you think that since it was you and Ah Fang who came up with the idea of ​​raising a cat, I am not interested in cats?"

Lin Youxi turned around and smiled at Xia Yuan, "I like cats, too. Besides, taking care of a child is something that should be shared by three people."

"Wow... Youxi, I really love you so much!"

Raising a cat is a very hard job. Newborn kittens are very weak, and it takes a lot of care and attention to keep them alive.

Xia Yuan has been focusing all her attention on raising cats and kittens during this period. Whenever she has time, she goes home to observe the growth of the cats, worrying about whether the kittens are fighting or if they are feeling unwell.

Because they are not accompanied by their mother, Xia Yuan always helps to caress the kittens and give them motherly love. Sometimes she stays there for the whole day on weekends. Even if it is just to stare at the kittens in a daze, Xia Yuan can stay for a long time.

When Mei Fang and Lin Youxi are free, they will sit next to Xia Yuan and help her take care of the kittens.

“What’s it like being a mom?”

Mei Fang smiled and stroked the hair of Xia Yuan, who was sitting in his arms and looking at the kittens in the cat bed. Xia Yuan complained a little and acted coquettishly in Mei Fang's arms.

"It's too hard. It's much harder than when I was playing house and being Fang's mother! Um...but——"

"but?"

Xia Yuan said as she pulled Mei Fang's hand into her arms, "Although being a mother is hard, watching these palm-sized children grow up day by day and become more lively day by day, I also feel that my hard work has not been in vain. I feel healed."

“Yeah, it’s very fulfilling.”

"It's not a sense of accomplishment, it's a sense of healing! How can raising a child be considered an achievement? You think about playing games every day, you childish bad dad, look at your mommy to educate you well!"

Xia Yuan gently bit Mei Fang's cheek, then gave her a sly smile.

Mei Fang rubbed back, and Xia Yuan started to fight back, gently biting Mei Fang's nose.

So Mei Fang started to roll Yuanyuan's nipples into a round shape. Xia Yuan was amused by Mei Fang and laughed so hard that she turned over and started to get intimate with Mei Fang.

At this moment, six little kittens lying in the soft and warm cat bed are scrambling to stick their heads out and look around with wide eyes, curiously gazing at the new world in front of them.

... (This ellipsis has been marked by a friend)

Just like that, one month after the Empress left, the kittens had grown from the size of a palm to kittens. They had begun to learn to eat by themselves, get water to drink by themselves, and clean their own poop. They were lively and active, and were running around the house happily.

Daju is the most lively cat among all the cats. As the eldest brother, he often runs around shaking his little head. He loves to try various jumping activities. He often climbs onto the coffee table and then jumps into Mei Fang's arms, giving Mei Fang a meat bomb attack. Si Xi, who is also a ginger cat, seems a little duller and more timid. He always tilts his head when he is doing nothing.

Nino and Xiaobai are both relatively quiet types. The two white cat sisters always lick each other and feel very intimate. In addition, they are very attached to Xia Yuan. As soon as Xia Yuan comes back, they will come around and meow, and they will not stop until Xia Yuan holds them and plays with them.

Sanye and Wuyue have two different styles. Sanye is a very lazy little black cat who always lies down and sleeps alone while his brothers and sisters are playing. Wuyue likes to have fun just like his big brother Daju, but he is the weakest and smallest among the six cats, so he is often taken care of by everyone.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Yue is a cat that is very close to Lin Youxi. Every time Lin Youxi comes over to feed the cat snacks, Wu Yue will be the first to run up. When other kittens are scrambling to eat the cat snacks, Wu Yue will keep licking Lin Youxi's hands, appearing to be very close.

Girls can't resist cute things at all. During the period when Mei Fang's family raised a cat, her good friends Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu from the same school often came to visit the cat.

In fact, Mei Fang had often invited Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu to her home to play, because they wanted to experience the musical atmosphere of the actual soul-style game.

However, before they got a cat, they had only come here twice in about half a year.

However, ever since Mei Fang's family got a cat, the two of them would come to Mei Fang's house to visit the cat almost every week. Xiang Bingbing devoted herself to playing with the cat. When the cat jumped, she jumped along with it. When the cat crouched on the ground, she would crouch on the ground like a kitten, and she was especially close to the big orange cat.

Xiang Bingbing even proudly shared her cat-stroking experience with Xia Yuan:

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, I found that Daju is really talented in sports. Yuanyuan, can you let me teach Daju how to do a backflip?"

"Don't let Big Orange be a bad boy! He was a naughty kid to begin with, and he became even naughtier after you came here."

"Hey, it's okay for a cat to be more lively... Just let me teach him, okay, Yuanyuan's mother!"

"No, don't call me mom too!"

Xia Yuan was completely unable to resist the magic of the title "mother", just like she was unable to resist the title "father", and seemed to begin to soften under Xiang Bingbing's constant persuasion.

Liu Xiaoyu prefers to observe and feed cats. When Xiaobai or Wuyue come over, she will reach out and tease them.

After half a year of college, the impression given by Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing has changed significantly compared to when they were in junior high and high school.

Although Bingbing is still as lively and active as before, she is no longer as immature in dressing. After entering university, she and Liu Xiaoyu became very close, and Liu Xiaoyu often took Bingbing shopping for clothes.

Liu Xiaoyu herself is a very elegant girl. In high school, she was actually a treasure girl whose halo was overshadowed by Xia Yuan. Now Xia Yuan does not often go to the campus, and Liu Xiaoyu, who was a leader of the Etiquette Department, is increasingly noticed by people around her.

Of course, this is also largely due to the remuneration for participating in Xia Yuan's return to music career.

As a core member of the startup team, Liu Xiaoyu put a lot of effort into music production. Mei Fang not only provided her with generous bonuses as a reward, but also advanced her future possibilities and gave her the opportunity to further her studies in music and art. This can be regarded as some compensation for taking away Liu Xiaoyu's luck after her rebirth.
