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

"Ah... yeahj it's been a while since we slept together/' Xia Yuan said, following Lin Youxi's lead and counting on her fingers. "It's almost been a week!"

"And you still have the nerve to say that... Last time, the two of you crawled into my bed and talked so loudly, that Aunt Meijuan almost caught us."

"That was Yuan Yuan who was being too loud; it had nothing to do with me," Lin Youxi replied while fixing her hair and looking into the distance.

"You-’re so mean, Youxi, passing the blame!" Xia Yuan pouted. "If you hadn't been touching everywhere, how could | have suddenly screamed like that?"

"I can't help it; Ah Fang's bed is too small for the three of us," Lin Youxi thought for a moment and then turned back to Mei Fang. "How about if we let Ah Fang come to our room tonight?"

"Yes, yes! I was thinking the same thing," Xia Yuan eagerly nodded. "Ah Fang should-’ve been sleeping with us all along!"

Mei Fang kept a polite smile and asked, "So, should I wait for you two to message me tonight?" "Mm-hmm, just wait!" Xia Yuan confirmed.

As the year-end approached, besides preparing for final exams, there were many things to handle at the company-like year-end reviews, salary adjustments, and finalizing various funding agreements. All of these required Mei Fang's approval.

When Mei Fang wasn't at the company, many decisions relied on Mei Yue's judgment. However, while Mei Yue excelled in administrative and HR management, she struggled with evaluating work performance, often needing Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's input.

Mei Fang realized the need to cultivate a professional manager within the team-someone who could efficiently handle the company's day-to-day operations.

But that, of course, brought up potential issues of organizational complications such as power struggles, which gave Mei Fang a headache. Sometimes, he wished he could just take charge and lead the team himself.

Running a company was tough enough, but balancing it with school and preparing for finals was even more challenging. The double burden created an exponential increase in stress-far more than just double the trouble.

So, in this cold winter, the only solace Mei Fang could find was in the warm embrace of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

VieLi...

To be precise_, onLy Yuan Yuan has a warm embrace.

Youxi; on the other hand; even seems to drain away my body heat...

Since they didn't have classes the next day, after coming home from school on Friday, no one did any homework. Instead, they spent some rare time together watching TV and chatting with Liang Meijuan. When they noticed her rubbing her eyes, Lin Youxi quickly patted her stepmother's shoulder:

"Mom, if you're tired, go ahead and sleep."

"Mm... You all should rest early too. Don't work too late; it's cold and you might catch a cold."

"We won't! We'll sleep soon."

Xia Yuan watched eagerly as Liang Meijuan headed to the inner room to rest, thinking it was finally time to get intimate with her Ah Fang. But when she turned around, she saw that Lin Youxi had already started getting close to Mei Fang. Panicking, Xia Yuan quickly pulled Mei Fang to her side and pouted at Lin Youxi.

"Youxi! That's not fair... you're being too sneaky! We haven't even started yet, it's unfair."

Lin Youxi licked her lips as if savoring the moment, "Hasn't it already started? You had plenty of time with Ah Fang at school today..."

"Well, if you put it that way-"

Realizing her voice might be too loud, Xia Yuan lowered her tone, "Then when you and Ah Fang start dating publicly in the future, I'll sneak around like this too, okay?" ŗᴀꞐОᛒÈ𝙨

Lin Youxi smiled and nodded, "Sure? And this isn't sneaking around. We've always been in a relationship with Ah Fang together. Now it's just that your relationship with him is out in the open, so don't forget that."

"Uh..."

Ah; this...

Mei Fang had always thought that given Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's personalities, along with the close bond they'd built over the years, they wouldn't have any conflicts. But seeing them almost at odds over something as small as getting close to him, even creating a tense atmosphere, was quite surprising.

Sensing the rising tension, Mei Fang quickly spoke up to mediate, "Don't fight over me. How will we cuddle together tonight if you're arguing?"

Lin Youxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "We're not fighting, just discussing some ground rules."

"Exactly, Ah Fang, you're so full of yourself, thinking we're arguing over you... Anyway, I'm heading to the room first."

Xia Yuan made a face at Mei Fang, then pulled Lin Youxi along with her. The tension from earlier instantly vanished without a trace.

Ah; the mysterious friendship between girLs... truLy hard to understand.

Mei Fang returned to his bedroom after resting in the living room for a bit. He planned to wait an hour before messaging Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, as usual. However, this time, Lin Youxi sent a message in less than half an hour.

[Come]

She sent a single, concise word, and Mei Fang grabbed his phone and then tiptoed to the master bedroom door, carefully opening it.

Previously, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi would always use the excuse of going to the bathroom to find Mei Fang. Mei Fang would simply wait in his room, feeling no psychological burden.

But now, having to actively go and knock on Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's door, while also having to pass by Liang Meijuan's bedroom, made him a bit nervous.

Mei Fang suddenly felt like one of those young guys in American TV shows who secretly climbs through the window of a girl he likes to have a private meeting with hei—it gave him a strange thrill.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had cracked the door open just a little, and as Mei Fang slowly edged his way in, Xia Yuan quickly pulled him inside. Lin Youxi quietly closed the door behind them. The three of them moved carefully, staying cautious until they all finally made it to the bed.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi each had their own blankets, and Mei Fang occupied one side of their respective blankets.

"Phew... It's so cold..."

In the cold, unheated liangcheng night, leaving the warmth of the blanket required a lot of courage. After Mei Fang lay down, Xia Yuan immediately wrapped her arms around his and snuggled up to him.

"I'll help warm you up..."

lust as Mei Fang was about to say something to Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi also snuggled up to him, pressing against his other arm.

Even though her hands and feet were a bit cold, her body was still warm. Lin Youxi had a habit of whispering in Mei Fang's ear, speaking in a way that wasn't entirely clear but was definitely enough to be tantalizing, sending shivers through him.

Every time they cuddled like this, the situation was always different, making it challenging for Mei Fang to maintain a certain level of composure and avoid doing anything improper. This was especially hard for someone his age, even if he tried to mentally prepare himself beforehand.

But overall, it was a kind of test for him. To keep things innocent, he had to focus on thoughts unrelated to anything sensual-like strategic plans for Ximilu Games and Lin Xi Technology, or perhaps seeking Xia Yuan's help, or even reminiscing about past embarrassing moments.

Or—

Mei Fang grabbed Lin Youxi's wandering hand, then glanced between her and Xia Yuan with a mysterious smile and said, "Hey... How about I tell you some ghost stories tonight? I've got some pretty interesting ones prepared."

"I want to hear it!"

Xia Yuan seemed very excited, "We haven't done this in so long. It brings back memories! I still remember the time when Ah Fang wet his pants after watching a horror movie..."

Mei Fang, annoyed, pinched Xia Yuan's cheek.

"Hey, are you sure you're not remembering something that never happened?"
