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

"Okay, Xiaoyu, Xiaoxue...you two should stop arguing. I really don't think as much as you say. I can really understand why you like Ah Fang, because Ah Fang and I have been together for so many years, and of course I know how outstanding our Ah Fang is..."

"But, I like Ah Fang, and as long as I don't do anything to Ah Fang, it won't affect our relationship. Let's not talk about this topic anymore. Can we just stop here?"

"Yeah...I can."

Liu Xiaoyu nodded. She didn’t want to talk about this at all. She hoped that no one would know that she liked Mei Fang in this life.

Peng Xue on the side also nodded reluctantly, but she was in a bad mood now.

"Okay, now let's talk about the band's planning! So, the first topic is about the name of the band. I have a few alternatives here, you can take a look..."

Xia Yuan was talking about the band's planning, but only Xiang Bingbing and Yue Xinyi occasionally joined in the conversation. When he asked Liu Xiaoyu, he just said "anything is fine with me", and when he asked Peng Xue, he just said "whatever", which made the atmosphere of the discussion very stiff.

Yue Xinyi felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so she took the initiative to suggest: "We just picked up Xiaoxue today, and we might be a little tired from working right away. How about we talk about this tomorrow? Let's eat first, yeah! yeah!"

"Yeah, good meal, good meal!" Xiang Bingbing patted her chest, "Yuanyuan said she would take us to a barbecue buffet today, I want to eat as much as I can in one go!"

Although Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu had some conflicts over their concepts, they were still willing to give Yuanyuan face. They just seemed a little silent when they were having dinner together, so everyone dispersed quickly after the meal.

Xia Yuan took Peng Xue to send her back to the hotel, and showed great concern for Peng Xue along the way:

"Xiaoxue, you didn't eat much today. Are you not full? Do you want to come to my house to eat something? I can ask Youxi... No, I will make something for you. You can go and see my children. Daju and the others are so cute..."

"No, no, that's all I'll eat." Peng Xue shook her head, "Besides, that's your love nest, I can't just disturb it."

"You say something like that...are you still unhappy about what happened today?"

"Not really..."

Peng Xue thought about it, and then asked Xia Yuan: "Yuanyuan, I want to ask you something."

"Yeah, tell me."

"If I could go back to the beginning and still have a choice, would you like me to tell you that I like Ah Fang, or would you rather not know?"

"I'm actually... a little unsure." Xia Yuan scratched his head, "I don't really care about this... because I think it's impossible for Ah Fang to leave Youxi and me, so it doesn't matter whether I know or not."

"You really are... Ever since I met you in middle school, I've noticed that you don't have any sense of crisis about Ah Fang. Aren't you afraid that someone else will snatch Ah Fang away from you?"

"It's not like we haven't had it before, because we don't know how Ah Fang sees us. The only one who feels pressured is Youxi. But we've talked it out, so we'll compete fairly and reasonably and wait for Ah Fang to make his own choice..."

"Then you can be considered lucky, as even the rival you meet is so good..." Peng Xue tilted her head and showed a somewhat bitter smile, "But Fang's excellence is known to all. In addition to Youxi, there will definitely be some over-the-top rivals around you. They may do anything to get your Fang, even when you are least prepared... In short, I don't want to see you betrayed by your friends..."

"Are you worried about Xiaoyu? You don't have to worry about her. I have been with her for many years and I know her very well. Although Xiaoyu doesn't like to talk, she is really kind at heart. She won't do anything to let me down."

"You are a good person in every way, except that you are too trusting of others..."

"I will definitely only trust people I trust." Xia Yuan patted Peng Xue's shoulder, "I trust Xiaoyu, just like I trust you... Even if Xiaoyu really likes Ah Fang, she will just keep it in her heart..."

"Okay... since you've said that... I won't worry about Xiaoyu anymore." Peng Xue scratched her head, "But I'm really bored. If the emperor isn't anxious, then the eunuchs are. I'm worried about this and that for you..."

"You love me! Of course I know that and I'm grateful." Xia Yuan said as he hugged Peng Xue, "I know I'm very happy, living in everyone's love, so I'm always grateful to the friends who appear around me, and I want to give them enough trust..."

Peng Xue couldn't help but go crazy after listening to Xia Yuan's warm words. She hugged Xia Yuan and wanted to kiss her cheek.

“Ahhhhhh Yuanyuan, you really are a little angel! I want you to be my wife! Meigou or whatever, get out of here!”

"Xiaoxue, don't do this, don't do this... I am Afang's person!"

Xia Yuan dragged her tired body back home. When she opened the door, she met Mei Fang who had just taken a shower and was wearing pajamas:

"Why would such a cute girl appear in our house... Oh! I see, it turns out to be my wife—"

Before Mei Fang had finished showing her courtesy at the door, Xia Yuan suddenly threw herself into Mei Fang's arms and started whimpering. Several kittens jumped around Xia Yuan's mother, meowing non-stop.

"Ah...what's wrong with you...are you unhappy having dinner with your friends? Why are you crying..."

"Listen to me, listen to me..."

Xia Yuan lay in Mei Fang's arms and told him everything that happened today. Mei Fang felt a little confused after listening to it. Was this about forming a band or chatting about gossip?

"In short... organizing a team is not easy... you are the captain of the band, you must do a good job of mediating conflicts among the team members... although this matter has passed, it may not be so easy for Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu to reconcile completely, we have to find an opportunity for them to reconcile..."

"Now I understand how hard it was for Ah Fang to recruit people to make the game... I wish I could share more of the burden with you."

"It's okay. I wasn't as complicated as you back then..." Mei Fang touched Xia Yuan's cheek, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, no... This is my own band. I have to be independent and handle the problems myself... As for where Ah Fang can help me..."

Xia Yuan hummed and reached into Mei Fang's arms, "I haven't played with Ah Fang for the past few days... Can you reward me today?"

Facing Xia Yuan's delicate humming, Mei Fang was immediately frightened and trembled all over. At this moment, Lin Youxi had just finished taking a shower and came out clean. When she saw Xia Yuan, she was surprised:

"Why are you back so early... I thought I could continue soloing with Ah Fang until the evening..."

"? You said you were busy at work today, is that what you were busy with?"

Xia Yuan's face was filled with a mmp smile.

Chapter 423 Yuanyuan's Ice-breaking Plan

Xia Yuan had dreamed of forming a band when he was in high school.

In order to help Yuanyuan realize this dream, Mei Fang has also been helping Xia Yuan find reliable band members, and to a certain extent has given them various material and spiritual support and inspiration.

Now the guitarist (Xia Yuan), bassist (Peng Xue), keyboardist (Liu Xiaoyu) and drummer (Xiang Bingbing) are all here.

However, this does not mean that the construction of the band can begin immediately. Now Liu Xiaoyu and Peng Xue have a grudge due to their different ideas. This kind of thing has a great impact on the tacit understanding of the team.

In order to allow his own and everyone else's band dream to continue, Xia Yuan, as the band's leader, needs to do something.

For this reason, she also consulted Mei Fang and Lin Youxi for their opinions. With many years of experience in balancing the water, the stationmaster Mei Fang said:

"I don't think this is an irreconcilable conflict. If we can find a way to create an opportunity for the two of them to sit down and talk calmly, the problem can actually be solved."

Miss Lin Youxi thought about it and thought:

"In fact, in addition to liking music, Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu follow you largely because they see your face and trust you. The relationship between them is not actually close. This problem does not necessarily occur only to them, but also to Bingbing."

“So I think that in the early stages of team building, we can focus on strengthening team cohesion. Band planning does not necessarily mean rushing to write songs and determine the team name…”

"Youxi obviously doesn't have many close friends, but when it comes to how to manage a team, isn't she very knowledgeable? Hahaha."

"These two things are different. Managing a team is managing a team, and making friends is making friends."

Lin Youxi taught Xia Yuan a lesson in a serious tone, "You can't manage a team like you normally do with friends. You can't just show who you like directly. You need to think more like Ah Fang, that is, learn to balance the water. Everyone knows about your relationship with Peng Xue, but if you act like this in the band, Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing might think you are biased."

"I, I won't... I will definitely come for fairness and justice."

"So how do you plan to convey your ideas to other people? Do you plan to hold meetings and explain them publicly?"

"Well... indeed, that doesn't work either."

Xia Yuan nodded, "It seems that we really need to increase team cohesion... But, are there any activities that are more suitable? As for meals, we already ate yesterday, and it seems that apart from Bingbing's big belly, there is no other effect..."

"How about an activity like a haunted house escape room or something like that?"

Lin Youxi suggested, "In a dark, claustrophobic and dangerous space, two people who support each other are more likely to like each other. Of course, there is also the saying of the suspension bridge effect... Of course, the premise is that they are interested in this."

"A haunted house? But I feel like the haunted houses in Pengcheng aren't particularly scary..."

"There is a colleague in the programming department of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment who runs a horror escape room at home. Last time, he invited people from our department to play in the escape room together. I saw that the feedback was good and many girls were scared to tears."

Mei Fang suddenly became alert when he heard this, "? Did that person also invite you to the haunted house?"

"I'm the big boss of the programming department, so he would definitely invite me politely... But I declined politely."

"What's the employee's work number? Let me see..."

"Why are you looking at his work number, Fang? Is it because you think he has improper feelings towards me and want to fire him?"

"Of course not!"

Mei Fang quickly denied it, "I'm not such a stingy person. There are so many people who like you, how can I manage them all... At most I just pay special attention to them, um, that's what I mean..."

Lin Youxi really liked to see Mei Fang's "tough" look, and then looked at Xia Yuan and said, "Let's try that secret room. I can ask the boss to help arrange it so that Liu Xiaoyu and Peng Xue can solve the task together and be chased by the NPC together."

"Okay... it's okay, but..."

Xia Yuan muttered, "I'm quite afraid of haunted houses. I'm afraid of just the four of us going there."

She quickly turned her mumbling gaze towards Mei Fang who was thinking about something.

"Ah, Yuanyuan, do you want me to go with you?"

"Can't you?"

"I think my appearance is very abrupt, why don't you call me a few more, youxi? Come and accompany us."

"I definitely can't go... If I go, everyone will treat me as a public enemy, and we won't be in the mood to bond with each other."

"Youxi, what you said is incoherent... Even if you are referring to the woman who took Ah Fang away, I was also involved. Why am I no longer a public enemy?"

"I can only say... those who understand will understand."

Xia Yuan felt that Youxi was somewhat disrespectful to him!

After making up his mind, the decisive Lin Youxi immediately asked his colleagues in the programming department to temporarily add a script for Xia Yuan and the others for tomorrow, choosing an escape room game that could just fit five or six people.

At the same time, Xia Yuan also invited Peng Xue, Liu Xiaoyu, Xiang Bingbing and Yue Xinyi, and tried his best to persuade everyone to participate in the escape room activity.

Although Yue Xinyi is not a member of the band, she is very popular and loved by everyone in the team because of her outspokenness, just like Xia Yuan. She is also an indispensable friction in the team.

However, after receiving the invitation to the escape room, Yue Xinyi seemed to be more interested in playing another role, so she did not appear on the list of participants in the escape room.

……

The next day, everyone agreed to meet at the gate of Mei Fang's community, because Mei Fang would be bringing four people to play in the escape room at that time.

Peng Xue, who lived nearby, arrived at the gate of the community early, followed by Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing.

Xiang Bingbing greeted Peng Xue warmly, and Peng Xue also smiled and had a cordial and friendly exchange with this big loli. Although the two did not have much interaction, Xiang Bingbing's energetic warmth quickly made her and Peng Xue become friends.

As for Liu Xiaoyu, Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu made eye contact and nodded politely, but there was no further interaction between the two.

……

Peng Xue thought that maybe the words she said during her interaction with Liu Xiaoyu yesterday were inappropriate. She was thinking about going up to say something to Liu Xiaoyu, but a black Benz S550 slowly drove out of the community and stopped in front of the three of them. Peng Xue gave up for the time being.

The car window rolled down, revealing Xia Yuan's clean and sweet face. She waved to everyone excitedly:

"Come on, everyone, get in the car, we're ready to go!"

"oh oh!"

Xiang Bingbing was about to happily follow Peng Xue into the back seat when Mei Fang stopped her: "Bingbing, you are the tallest, so remember not to sit in the middle."
