Chapter 258: Reborn 20 Years Ago
? Since he could remember, Mei Fang had never felt as lost as he did today.
? Other people’s 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? Isn’t 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 didn’t have much psychological burden.
? But to experience it firsthand and be watched by so many children, it felt like a public execution!
? The teacher’s 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, don’t 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 didn’t have to work like a horse!
? “Sit properly!”
? “I’m 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 teacher’s 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, it’s okay, bedwetting is not something to be ashamed of. My mom said I used to wet the bed when I was little too, so don’t be too upset.”
? Do five-year-old kids also use the term “when I was little…”?
? Mei Fang couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m not upset.”
? As he spoke, he couldn’t 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 wouldn’t be ugly when she grows up.
? The girl with the bun hairstyle didn’t avoid Mei Fang’s gaze. She also stared at Mei Fang with her big bright eyes.
? Mei Fang couldn’t hold it in and unconsciously looked away.
? “Yay, I won!” the girl exclaimed happily.
? “Childish.”
? Who’s 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? Aren’t you annoyed?”
? Mei Fang’s 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 don’t you want to play with me suddenly… I didn’t say anything bad about you… sniff… I didn’t even laugh at you for wetting the bed… don’t 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 didn’t say anything, I was wrong, I was wrong…”
? Mei Fang didn’t 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, let’s go tell the teacher!”
? “Hey, it’s not me, I didn’t 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 didn’t say I won’t play with you, so stop crying, okay? I’ll buy… buy lollipops for you tomorrow!”
? Xia Yuan’s 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 don’t believe me, shall we do a pinky promise?”
? Facing Mei Fang’s invitation, Xia Yuan tilted her head in confusion.
? This should be popular by now, right?’
? Mei Fang reached out and lightly swayed Xia Yuan’s pinky finger, suddenly feeling a strange sense of guilt. He felt a little embarrassed.
? “Pinky promise… it’s 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 doesn’t seem right! But Xia Yuan gently supported Mei Fang’s head, making him raise it, and then she wet her hands with water and patted the back of Mei Fang’s neck. Mei Fang felt a bit of enjoyment and didn’t complain.
? When the teacher arrived and took over to continue dealing with the situation, she couldn’t 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! You’re 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 Fang’s mind, the image of Lin Youxi gradually became clear.
? But he couldn’t connect the rude girl in front of him with Lin Youxi—
? Lin Youxi… Isn’t that the name of the top student in high school, the top female academic genius?
? Turns out we were classmates in kindergarten!
