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

"I, there is nothing for us to do anymore..."

Mei Fang gradually let go of the trembling Xia Yuan. Just as Xia Yuan patted his butt and prepared to take a closer look at the puzzle materials, a female ghost in white clothes suddenly appeared from behind Mei Fang and was observed by Xia Yuan on the spot.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Xia Yuan's screams echoed throughout the office. She pulled Mei Fang and ran away desperately. The female ghost also followed suit, making a creaking sound and chasing Mei Fang and Xia Yuan.

In the end, Xia Yuan was forced into a corner by the female ghost because of her clumsy movements. With nowhere to go, she looked at the female ghost getting closer and closer, and was immediately frightened out of her wits and hid in Mei Fang's arms, trembling.

Seeing the female ghost getting closer, Mei Fang, who had a calm expression, suddenly remembered the many jokes he had seen on Douyin in his previous life, so he did the opposite and kissed Xia Yuan affectionately in front of the female ghost.

“Woo… woop—woo—”

Xia Yuan was originally in a state of high mental tension, but after feeling the warmth from her lover, she slowly relaxed and began to swing back and forth while hugging Mei Fang. This wave of female ghosts was originally immersed in the role and scared people to death, but when they saw the two of them start to show off their love, they were immediately broken:

"Fuck, you two are kidding me!"

Wait, this familiar voice——

Mei Fang and Xia Yuan quickly stopped kissing and turned around to look at the tiny female ghost. They discovered that after she took off her wig, she looked exactly like their old friend Yue Xinyi.

"Oh my god...Xiao Yizi, why are you here? You're still acting like a female ghost! You scared me to death."

"Didn't you tell me when you invited me that this was a place opened by an employee of our Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment, so I came here to play. I wanted to play as an NPC to experience it, but I didn't expect you two to be so capable."

Yue Xinyi fiddled with her hair and said, "But it feels pretty good to chase someone in front."

"You feel good, but Fang and I are terrified!"

"At least I got all my anger out. Hahaha. It feels so good to snipe the boss."

Yue Xinyi said seriously, "Mei Gou, see, don't always ask everyone to work overtime, otherwise what happened today may happen tomorrow, do you understand?"

"You are here to teach me a lesson..."

Mei Fang smiled and scratched his head. "I know, I know. We don't force people to work overtime. Everyone works overtime voluntarily."

"They'd better volunteer, huh!"

Yue Xinyi glanced at Mei Fang unhappily, "You really didn't bring Xi out to play today. Do you have a clear conscience? You left her alone to look after the house."

"You said you didn't bring Xi to play. I've been worried about the band's affairs lately. Youxi and Ah Fang are having a lot of fun, don't you know—"

Seeing this, Mei Fang quickly covered Xia Yuan's mouth and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic in a semi-public place. Let's continue the mission."

"The next task will have to wait until Bingbing's team and Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu's team are done."

"Do they also have female ghosts like you to scare people over there?"

"There will be some depending on the plot, but Bingbing will not send any more NPCs."

"how?"

"Just now, there was an NPC standing at the intersection trying to scare Bingbing, but Bingbing almost got knocked unconscious by a punch out of reflex, and fell to the ground on the spot."

“But this is Bingbing!”

Mei Fang, who was once inspired by Xiang Bingbing at a high school sports meet, has a deep understanding of this.

"How are Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu doing?"

"They should still be solving the puzzle. Their quest line is very long... How about we go and try to scare them?"

"Now? There's no time to put on makeup."

Yue Xinyi explained, "Just put on a hood and mask. I'll take you through the NPC passage."

"Come on, come on! Go, go, go!"

Xia Yuan, who was almost scared to tears just now, became interested when she heard that she could scare Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue. She pulled Mei Fang to the backstage to do a simple styling. Xia Yuan wore very long hair and Mei Fang wore a blood-stained mask of a murderer, and then hid in the closet in the storage room.

This room is the only way for Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu to find the password of the locked diary of the female ghost who died suddenly.

call……

The closet in the storage room was quite crowded, and it looked like Mei Fang and Xia Yuan had to stick together to squeeze in.

Xia Yuan turned his head to look at Mei Fang's look, and immediately couldn't help but chuckle. Mei Fang knocked his head in disgust, "Is my look so funny? You're so afraid of ghosts, but you're not afraid of me."

"Hahaha... It's not funny, it's just... As long as I think that the person under the mask is you, I won't feel scared at all."

She is such a cowardly girl who is afraid of ghosts...

When Mei Fang saw the female ghost version of Xia Yuan with long flowing hair, she inexplicably found her cute.

call……

The subtle atmosphere in the closet suddenly made Mei Fang excited.

Cute, want to -

Just when Mei Fang was distracted and ready to move closer to his wife, Xia Yuan suddenly became excited and turned to look at Mei Fang, "Ah Fang, Ah Fang, do you remember the days when we played hide-and-seek together?"

"I remember. I think it was when I was in the second or third grade of elementary school. You and Youxi always liked to hide in the closet together. I would pretend to have been looking for you for a long time before I found you."

"So you were just pretending! You stinky Ah Fang, you actually deceived my feelings... I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Xia Yuan muttered that he wanted to teach Mei Fang a lesson in the closet, but as they were making a fuss, the door of the storage room suddenly opened with a click. Mei Fang and Xia Yuan quickly covered each other's mouths, and then looked through the gap in the closet to observe the situation in the storage room.

"..."

Peng Xue and Liu Xiaoyu ran into the room one after another. After they came in, they quickly closed the door and then leaned on it, gasping for breath.

"call……"

"This is still... a little scary, right?"

Liu Xiaoyu's face flushed as she looked at Peng Xue who was also panting.

"It's okay, it's a little unexpected."

Peng Xue pretended to be calm and touched her hair, looking like she was trying to save face.

"You were obviously frightened. When you saw the ghost, you just pulled me and kept running."

"I'm just worried that you'll be frightened. You look so weak and fragile. I'm afraid you won't even dare to run away."

"I just look weak. Wasn't it me who solved all the puzzles in the past?"

"That's true... I can only say that doing homework in advance is beneficial."

Peng Xue reluctantly acknowledged Liu Xiaoyu's efforts, and then sighed silently.

"My casual personality is really annoying. If you weren't here this time, I don't know how long we would have to waste on solving the puzzle ahead."

"What's wrong with having a casual personality? You don't have to worry about various things every day."

Liu Xiaoyu sighed, "I always can't help but worry about others, worrying about mistakes here and problems there. When everyone is fast asleep, I am the only one who is still checking over and over again. I don't know why I worry so much..."

"Your serious and responsible personality makes you perfect for being a worker. Mei Gou doesn't feel any psychological pressure when using you. Hahahaha!"

"That is to say..."

Liu Xiaoyu sighed again, "Although the work is very busy, the help and rewards he gave me are really a lot. If he hadn't given me this opportunity, I would definitely not be able to get to where I am today."

"..."

Seeing Liu Xiaoyu's lost look, Peng Xue couldn't help but sigh.

"Liu Xiaoyu, do you know why I don't like you?"

Liu Xiaoyu shook his head. "I can't force everyone to like me."

"Hey, don't argue with me, just listen to me, okay?"

"Actually, I can guess it..."

Liu Xiaoyu responded, "You think I'm a green tea who has been hiding beside Mei Gou and secretly in love with him, wanting to find a suitable opportunity to take advantage of him and confess my feelings to him, and then win Mei Gou over."

"Oh my god...you, you said everything I wanted to say. So you know it so clearly!"

"In fact, many girls talked about me in private in high school, and some in college too, because I didn't date other people and was always with Mei Fang Xia Yuan."

It was the first time that Mei Fang and Xia Yuan knew that Liu Xiaoyu had been suffering from such criticism, and they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

Peng Xue's reaction was also very surprised, "So there is such a thing... Have you never told anyone about it?"

"What are you talking about? Are you going to promise Yuanyuan that I absolutely don't like Mei Fang? I think it's fine to maintain the status quo. There's no need to make things awkward for everyone."

"Indeed it is……"

Peng Xue couldn't help but cover her cheeks as she spoke, "Compared with you, I find that I am really a selfish and annoying woman..."

So Peng Xue explained her past to Liu Xiaoyu, "When I ran away from home, I actually confessed my love to Mei Fang."

"Confession?"

Not many people actually knew about Peng Xue's confession, because everyone felt that Peng Xue and Xia Yuan had such a good relationship that they would definitely not do anything to poach her.

"The last time I lectured you, I told you that as long as you can say it out loud, it means you have let it go. But the actual experience is completely different. For example, after I confessed my feelings, I actually cared about him even more."

"I originally thought I could let him go and focus on my friendship with Yuanyuan, but whenever I see him, I get that heart-pounding feeling... I can't help it - do you understand? I really can't tell Yuanyuan about this feeling, you know..."

"..."

Peng Xue said this and then complained with some sadness:

"Now it's so awkward for me to meet him. This feeling is worse than the way we were together before I confessed. At least I'm still happy... So you don't know how much I envy you... How jealous I am of you. I'm twisted."

"I just don't want to see anyone close to him besides Yuanyuan Youxi, so it doesn't matter if you say that I'm jealous. I'm just such a bad person. It's already very uncomfortable for me to tolerate Lin Youxi, and seeing that you have such a good relationship with him, I-"

The more Peng Xue talked, the more uncomfortable she felt. Thinking back to the sweet interactions between Xia Yuan and Mei Fang that she had seen today, she felt even more uncomfortable the more she watched.

No one can tell whether she feels bad for Yuanyuan or for Mei Fang.

"You don't even dare to be jealous of Yuanyuan Youxi, and you are jealous of me, right..."

Liu Xiaoyu didn't get angry after hearing Peng Xue's confession, but laughed out loud, "If I have to say I'm jealous, then I'm the one who's jealous of you."

"Jealous of me? Why should I be jealous?"

"At least you conveyed your feelings to him."

"Whether he responds to my feelings or not, I think it's a courageous thing to be able to convey them to him and take the initiative to tell him."

Liu Xiaoyu whispered, "And it's not like Mei Gou didn't respond to you. He wrote the song 'Song of Strange Abilities' for you, right?"

"Well...I shamelessly forced it."
