Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 1: Reborn from 20 Years Ago?

Chapter 1: Reborn from 20 Years Ago?

Since he could remember, Mei Fang had never felt as lost as he did today.

Other peoples stories of rebirth and time travel always started during the golden summer after the college entrance examination. Why did it have to be kindergarten for me? Isnt that 20 years ago?

And when Mei Fang woke up, he found out that he had wet the bed during the school nap time^[1] and was forced to clean himself in front of the other children.

This incident did happen in kindergarten and it was a childhood trauma for Mei Fang, but after so many years, the memories were only fragments and he didnt have much psychological burden.

But to experience it firsthand and be watched by so many children, it felt like a public execution!

The teachers intention was to teach Mei Fang a lesson, but it was affecting his physical and mental health as a future flower of the country! Thankfully, it was 20 years ago

Mei Fang wiped his body with bitterness while sorting out the current situation. In short, when encountering something unexpected, dont panic, smile and face it!

2002 This was the beginning of the golden age of the 21st century!

In 2002, China had just joined the World Trade Organization and was preparing to become the most important world factory in the global market.

In 2002, it was easy to get a job and housing prices were ridiculously cheap. You could almost buy a house without much effort.

In 2002, the internet was booming and the three giants were rapidly rising. The myth of Bitcoin was still a yet-to-be-seen fantasy.

In 2002, the Chinese music scene was flourishing, and the future President Chou, Allen^[2], released his third album X-Degree Space,^[3] with songs like The Island Copper Box^[4] and Tiger Leg^[5] still popular today.

Although this rebirth point was a bit absurd, at least there was hope for the future.

In his previous life, he had endured so much for money and even worked overtime until his sudden death.

But in this life, he finally didnt have to work like a horse!

Sit properly!

Im sitting properly!

Mei Fang! Sit up straight! Why are you smiling foolishly? Are you proud of wetting the bed? You should attend class with the preschool children.

Amidst the laughter of the children, Mei Fang reluctantly followed the other children, placing his hands on the small desk and lowering his head to listen to the teachers lecture.

Sit up straight!

I got it.

Hmm

Mei Fang looked around and hardly recognized any of the faces.

His current memories were almost the same as before he sudden death, and he naturally had no recollection of kindergarten.

He waited for the teacher to leave the classroom and then the children in his class started playing on their own. After all, they had spent several years together in kindergarten, so they got along relatively well.

Mei Fang was now leaning on the desk, lost in thought, when the girl with bun hairstyle sitting next to him nudged him arm and whispered.

Mei Fang, its okay, bedwetting is not something to be ashamed of. My mom said I used to wet the bed when I was little too, so dont be too upset.

Do five-year-old kids also use the term when I was little?

Mei Fang couldnt help but laugh, Im not upset.

As he spoke, he couldnt help but take a closer look at the girl. She had a fair and tender face with big bright eyes.

Her eyelashes were especially long, and she had cute dimples when she smiled. When she spoke, her mouth pouted, making her sound cute.

If it were 2022, she would definitely be a child star or internet celebrity. She wouldnt be ugly when she grows up.

The girl with the bun hairstyle didnt avoid Mei Fangs gaze. She also stared at Mei Fang with her big bright eyes.

Mei Fang couldnt hold it in and unconsciously looked away.

Yay, I won! the girl exclaimed happily.

Childish.

Whos playing games with you

Mei Fang was contemplating his future plans when the girl started pulling on his arm, which made Mei Fang feel annoyed. Go play by yourself, why are you always bothering me? Arent you annoyed?

Mei Fangs words seemed to deeply affect the girl, and soon her eyes started turning red.

Then, her tears flowed like beads that had broken off a string.

Why dont you want to play with me suddenly I didnt say anything bad about you sniff I didnt even laugh at you for wetting the bed dont stop playing with me sniff

The girl with the bun hairstyle rubbed her eyes and continued to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice, attracting the attention of many other children around.

Is my relationship with her good in kindergarten?

Okay, okay, I didnt say anything, I was wrong, I was wrong

Mei Fang didnt expect this girl to be such a crybaby. He was about to comfort her when the other children started teasing, Mei Fang made Xia Yuan cry, Mei Fang made Xia Yuan cry, lets go tell the teacher!

Hey, its not me, I didnt do anything!

Mei Fang watched as a few tattletales slipped out of the classroom, while the little girl named Xia Yuan continued to cry.

Helpless, Mei Fang walked up to her and gently patted her shoulder, soothing her softly, I didnt say I wont play with you, so stop crying, okay? Ill buy buy lollipops for you tomorrow!

Xia Yuans crying abruptly stopped, but she still sniffled.

R-really? Hic

Really! Even more real than pearls.

Children in this era have eaten fewer snacks, so they are easily appeased.

Mei Fang reached out and raised only one little finger, If you dont believe me, shall we do a pinky promise?

Facing Mei Fangs invitation, Xia Yuan tilted her head in confusion.

This should be popular by now, right?

Mei Fang reached out and lightly swayed Xia Yuans pinky finger, suddenly feeling a strange sense of guilt. He felt a little embarrassed.

Pinky promise its a deal No change is allowed within a hundred years.

A hundred years no changes

Xia Yuan followed Mei Fang in chanting a cheerful nursery rhyme, and her mood gradually calmed down.

But at this moment, Mei Fang felt a strong bump from behind, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face.

The one who bumped into Mei Fang was a short-haired girl with a watermelon-shaped head. After pushing Mei Fang away, she ran into the crowd.

In this era, many facilities were not well-equipped. The kindergarten in the county town still had a cement floor. Mei Fang felt a sourness in his nose and when he stood up, his nose started bleeding profusely.

The sight of Mei Fang bleeding frightened the children present, and everyone gathered around to check the situation, including Xia Yuan. Her eyes were full of concern, Let me help My mom taught me how to stop nosebleeds, tilt your head back

Tilting the head back to stop a nosebleed doesnt seem right! But Xia Yuan gently supported Mei Fangs head, making him raise it, and then she wet her hands with water and patted the back of Mei Fangs neck. Mei Fang felt a bit of enjoyment and didnt complain.

When the teacher arrived and took over to continue dealing with the situation, she couldnt help but complain, Mei Fang, why is it always you causing trouble and never stop

At this moment, a child came forward to speak up for Mei Fang, I saw it, it was Lin Youxi who pushed him!

Lin Youxi! Youre causing trouble again.

Lin Youxi? This name seems a bit familiar

Mei Fang watched as the teacher pulled out the short-haired girl with a watermelon-shaped head standing behind Xia Yuan. Lin Youxi stood quietly in front of the teacher, bowing her head and saying nothing.

Her clothes were dirty and she looked a bit messy, like a wild girl.

Did you push him?

Lin Youxi nodded.

Why did you push Mei Fang?

Lin Youxi ignored the teacher and just kept her head down, feeling a bit uncomfortable with communication.

Lin Youxi Lin Youxi

In Mei Fangs mind, the image of Lin Youxi gradually became clear.

But he couldnt connect the rude girl in front of him with Lin Youxi

Lin Youxi Isnt that the name of the top student in high school, the top female academic genius?

Turns out we were classmates in kindergarten!
