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

Soon Liu Xiaoyu returned to her seat. Seeing her busying around, Yue Xinyi looked dissatisfied:

"Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, what do they want you to do?"

Liu Xiaoyu said this as she packed her bag.

"They want to go shopping, but Youxi has no makeup to use, so I'll go and help her put on some makeup... You eat first, it's my treat today."

"Liu Xiaoyu, are you sick?"

Yue Xinyi finally couldn't help but slammed the table and yelled at Liu Xiaoyu. The other customers in the restaurant looked at them:

"They are seeking death together, why are you trying to make up for it? Are you trying to please yourself? Even if Lin Youxi dies, Mei Fang will die with her. Is there any place for you to interfere?"

Liu Xiaoyu lowered his head and accepted Yue Xinyi's scolding, "I didn't intend to interfere with their relationship... I just... just -"

“I long for their feelings.”

"And I also believe that there must be a reason why he and I met again, and there must be some way I can help them."

Then Liu Xiaoyu looked up and smiled.

"If you insist, just treat it as me collecting materials, right?"

"I'm really impressed. You can't even live a good life as a young lady, but you're just trying to get material here. You too—"

Yue Xinyi bit her lip and let out a long sigh, then continued to look at the menu and prepared to order. "Just be a licking dog. It's better to blow up the earth with one punch. Everyone is going crazy."

Liu Xiaoyu even stuck out his tongue playfully and teased Yue Xinyi, "Of all novel writers, there are few who are not crazy..."

Liu Xiaoyu quickly calmed down in the taxi.

She went home to tidy up first, and then went to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's home.

After opening the door, she saw Mei Fang with a dazed look in his eyes.

It has been a while since they last saw Lin Youxi after the accident. His spirit and energy are completely different from before the game was released.

The change was so great that Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but tear up.

"M-Sorry for bothering you to come... Thank you so much for coming."

"It's okay. I should have come to see you guys a long time ago."

Liu Xiaoyu's voice was a little choked, but she tried to lower her voice so that Mei Fang would not notice.

"Is Youxi awake now?"

"In the bedroom, I'll take you there..."

Mei Fang said softly to Liu Xiaoyu, "Please don't be afraid of her. She won't hurt you."

"I'm not afraid of her, I'm not afraid."

Liu Xiaoyu smiled gently and shook his head.

Lin Youxi's consciousness has returned to an unconscious state. She ignored Liu Xiaoyu's words to her, but she was very cooperative when Liu Xiaoyu was doing her makeup. Mei Fang was also waiting in the living room.

Lin Youxi calmly looked at Liu Xiaoyu applying foundation in the mirror. She was silent, but when she saw Liu Xiaoyu sniffing uncontrollably, she suddenly asked:

"Are you crying?"

"No, no... Look at you now, don't you look much better like this?"

With Liu Xiaoyu's carefully applied makeup, Lin Youxi regained 70% to 80% of her usual pretty face. With her expressionless face, she looked like a cold and taciturn ice beauty, but there was still some sense of dementia in her lifeless eyes.

"It looks great, thank you...thank you so much."

Lin Youxi held Liu Xiaoyu's hand and said, "But I have to say sorry to you, too. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry...what?"

"Afang can't give it to you now."

Lin Youxi said softly, "I have an appointment with him."

"I won't steal it." Liu Xiaoyu smiled.

Liu Xiaoyu brought Lin Youxi, who had changed her clothes and put on makeup, out of the bedroom.

Mei Fang, who was waiting in the living room, was very happy when she saw Lin Youxi's appearance.

"I told you that you are still very beautiful, right? You can look like this after a simple make-up."

"This is not easy at all." Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head, then looked at Liu Xiaoyu and said, "Can you help Ah Fang clean up as well?"

"Me? I don't need it... No - I really don't need it." Mei Fang waved his hand immediately.

"You've already caused Xiaoyu a lot of trouble, so don't cause any more trouble."

"It's okay... It's no trouble. I'll help you style it quickly."

Liu Xiaoyu said softly, "You guys go out on a date, you have to take pictures... It's not good for you to look like this."

"I think Xiaoyu is right."

Lin Youxi nodded and smiled, then pushed Mei Fang into the bedroom and locked him and Liu Xiaoyu in the same room.

"..."

Liu Xiaoyu didn't expect Lin Youxi to suddenly close the door, but Mei Fang didn't get up to open the door at this time. Instead, he took this opportunity to pick up his mobile phone and transferred three thousand yuan to Liu Xiaoyu.

"I don't know what to buy you to thank you... This is just a small token of my appreciation, so please accept it."

"What do I need your money for? I, I...you are so chilling."

Facing Mei Fang's words, Liu Xiaoyu seemed very angry, but she spoke very softly, as if she was afraid that Lin Youxi would hear. Her sudden anger made Mei Fang a little at a loss:

"S-Sorry... I really wanted to repay you."

"We are friends. We have been friends for so many years. Friends should help each other, right?"

"That's why..."

Mei Fang bit her lip. "I no longer have the ability to help you, or...if there is anything you want me to do for you, I can do it, I can--"

He stood in front of him, looking haggard and depressed, completely different from the high-spirited game producer in Nuclear Fusion when they met again. This servile posture was quite ugly in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Liu Xiaoyu did not dislike it.

She held Mei Fang's arm to support him, then took him to sit on the chair in front of the dressing table. The two people looked at each other in the mirror.

"I only ask one thing of you, that you live with her, okay?"

Liu Xiaoyu said softly, "I still want to drink at your wedding."

"We will work hard."

"Don't be so depressed, cheer up!"

Liu Xiaoyu patted Mei Fang on the shoulder and said, "Recall your omnipotent attitude in high school, and you will be able to solve all difficulties."

"You must have a confused memory. How could I be omnipotent when I was in high school?" Mei Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"No? I just felt that when we were deskmates, you seemed to know everything... You dared to try everything, you were fearless, you did what you said, and even if the results were not satisfactory, you could have a clear conscience..."

"Is it like this."

Mei Fang smiled and shook her head, "Now I only remember that I was very humble at that time. After seeing you shine on the stage of the Top Ten Singers, I didn't even dare to say hello to you."

"Is... is it because I participated in the Top Ten Singers?"

Liu Xiaoyu was surprised and said, "No wonder I felt that you suddenly became indifferent to me after that. Later, when we sat apart, you no longer talked to me. I thought I did something to make you hate me..."

"how come……"

Mei Fang smiled and shook his head, "At that time——"

"At that time, I liked you."

After hearing Mei Fang's words, Liu Xiaoyu's hand hanging in the air suddenly stopped for a long time and never lifted up.

"Eh?"

"A-just kidding..."

"No kidding, it should be okay to talk about this now, right?"

Mei Fang smiled and shook her head. "It was at that time that I felt inferior, fragile and sensitive. When I saw you shining brightly on the stage, I had many ideas, but most of them ended up in failure. When I saw you coming down from the stage and being surrounded by everyone, I suddenly felt that we were not from the same world. I felt...unworthy of standing with you, you know..."

"How could we not be compatible? Didn't we keep talking when we were at the same table? I thought——"

"You're like this to everyone. You have something to talk about with everyone, right?"

"Well... yes... I don't like fighting with others..." Liu Xiaoyu bit his lip.

"so."

Mei Fang nodded gently, "But it's all in the past."

"Yeah, it's all over."

Liu Xiaoyu continued to take care of Mei Fang, helped him with his hairstyle, then took him out of the bedroom and sent him to Lin Youxi, who was about to fall asleep on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Youxi rubbed his eyes, and when he saw Mei Fang cheering up and smiling, his expression also became a little happier.

"Afang is so handsome!"

Lin Youxi smiled and took Mei Fang's arm, then bowed hard to Liu Xiaoyu behind her, "Thank you, thank you, Xiaoyu."

"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Liu Xiaoyu smiled softly, "Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, let's have fun."

"We'll take you back."

"No, no, can I stay at your house for a while? I'll go back later and I'll close the door for you."

"Then...then——"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi thanked Liu Xiaoyu for his kindness, and then went out together to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Remember, Youxi?"

"Remember what?"

"The first time I met you was on Valentine's Day."

"Remember... I was drunk at the time, and you were talking to your mother on the phone, asking if you had a date—"

"Now I finally have it."
