After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 46 The Name I Want to Shout Out Loud (Please read on, please vote!)

When Lin Yueyao heard Xia Ke's serious statement, her first reaction was that Xia Ke was making a fuss over nothing.

"Some of the things shown on TV are fake, right? We're just kids, we can't have any hair."

Xia Ke retorted, "How do you know I can't have children?"

"Because... I've never seen it before."

Lin Yueyao said, "No child's belly can grow as big as a pregnant woman's."

Xia Ke had her own understanding: "Because adults are adults, that's why their bellies are so big. Maybe when a child is pregnant, their belly will be smaller, and we won't be able to tell."

"But……"

Lin Yueyao still found it hard to believe, but Xia Ke then whispered to Lin Yueyao, "There's one more thing. You see, boys in school usually only play with boys, and girls only play with girls. We get along so well with the young master, and we even go to the young master's house to play."

Xia Ke said to Lin Yueyao, "So, people like us are definitely a minority, which is why we weren't discovered by the other children."

Lin Yueyao was not quite sure how babies came to be, which had been a question that had been bothering her for a long time. In her understanding, babies were conceived when a boy and a girl kissed, so she didn't pay much attention to what Xia Ke said at first.

However, after Xia Ke's series of analyses, Lin Yueyao was indeed intimidated and immediately began to worry.

Last night, my child asked me if my mother and Xu Yuan were like family, so that my mother would know that my child is Xu Yuan's.

But... but he doesn't know yet! How can I tell him?

"Then, should we give birth to our little Mao Mao? If we do, will we have to take care of her and she won't be able to come to school?"

"Wait a minute, you don't need to worry about your things, you won't get hairy."

Xia Ke said, "You only kissed the young master, but you didn't sleep with him. I slept under the same blanket as the young master, so I'm bound to have some hair."

"I actually was, before..."

"I can't hear you clearly."

"No, nothing..."

Lin Yueyao had actually done things like sleeping next to Xu Yuan many times before. She felt that whether or not she was covered by a blanket was not the most important thing; what mattered was whether they were close together.

Since we're sitting close together, there's definitely a risk that I might get pregnant.

But she couldn't tell Xia Ke about this, because if Xu Yuan found out, he might look down on her.

"Yueyao, what should I do now?"

Xia Ke, who is usually the most decisive, is now a little flustered. "It would be a good thing if we didn't have to go to school because of Mao Mao, but the young master will definitely blame us for secretly getting pregnant with his Mao Mao without telling him. What if he breaks off all ties with us?"

"I think we should confirm again whether it's really true that we have hair, since the adults never said that kissing and sleeping together will result in hair."

Lin Yueyao said to Xia Ke, "Anyway, let's go back and ask our parents first."

"Well, that's all it can do."

Xia Ke thought for a moment, "Then, after school this afternoon, what about Yuan Yuan's side—"

"We can't tell him yet!"

Lin Yueyao twirled her fingers and thought for a moment, "If I tell him, he will definitely be very angry, and he might really break off our friendship."

"He doesn't know anything about you, so he won't break off our friendship."

Xia Ke bit her lip, then patted Lin Yueyao's shoulder and said with feigned laughter, "Don't worry, Yueyao, even if the young master wants to break off our friendship, I won't reveal anything about you!"

Lin Yueyao gave Xia Ke a big hug to comfort her.

Lin Yueyao didn't pay attention in class the first time. She kept erasing the calculations she had written in pencil on the draft paper with an eraser, her mind filled with thoughts of how to explain things to Xu Yuan.

Whenever they encounter a problem, the first thing they do is consult Xu Yuan, and he always gives them the best advice.

But this time, the situation is completely, completely different!

I'm so stupid, really.

Why did I stand so close back then?

However, I didn't kiss him myself; Yuanyuan kissed me by accident.

If I tell him the truth, he might not blame me.

Lin Yueyao quickly gave up on the idea.

Because that would leave Ake all alone there.

I was the one who lied to Ake first, saying I was playing a prank.

I must also take responsibility!
Lin Yueyao touched her belly and felt that it was much larger than before.

I haven't had lunch yet!

She was a little scared and tried to pull her stomach in and hold her breath.

But what if this suffocates the little kitten?

She loosened her stomach again.

……

When school was over, Lin Yueyao and Xia Ke were like two deflated balloons, slowly walking home with their schoolbags on their backs.

"How about we skip going to the young master's house to do our homework today?"

Xia Ke muttered, "I'm afraid the young master is too sharp and will be able to tell at a glance that I have his hair."

"You don't have to go, but I'm going back with my mom."

After hearing this, Lin Yueyao felt that Xia Ke was very disloyal and said angrily, "Then what am I supposed to do?"

Xia Ke tilted her head in confusion: "But you won't grow any hair, so why are you so afraid!"

"me……"

Lin Yueyao was stammering and about to explain when someone suddenly patted them on the shoulder from behind.

"Hey, why did school leave so late today?"

Xu Yuan's sudden appearance startled Lin Yueyao and Xia Ke, both of them instinctively trembling. Xia Ke even stood at attention, no longer daring to joke with Xu Yuan.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost when you see me today."

Xu Yuan frowned as he looked at his two childhood sweethearts. "You're not still angry about what happened yesterday, are you?"

Xu Yuan only lightly tapped their palms, and the two little ones were quite cooperative when he was drawing things on their faces.

"No, no... not alive."

Xia Ke quickly waved her hand and said, "We did something wrong first. We should be thankful that you're not angry with us, Young Master."

"..."

Xu Yuan frowned and stared at Xia Ke for a long time. Xia Ke's lips twitched slightly, and sweat began to appear on her forehead.

Then, Xu Yuan took Lin Yueyao's hand and whispered something to her:
"Yueyao, what's wrong with Xia Ke? Why is she so frightened?"

Xu Yuan remembered Xia Ke as a mischievous child who would climb on the roof and cause trouble if he wasn't disciplined. The fact that she was so well-behaved now meant that something must have gone wrong.

Could something have happened at home that's affecting Xia Ke's personality development? I'd better help her!
Lin Yueyao's reaction was also hesitant, "No, no... she's the same as usual."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you sure she's the same as usual?"

"Uh...yeah!"

Tsukiyaki's reaction was also strange.

But she must know something, which is why she helped Xia Ke keep it from her.

……

I can't force them.

Let's ease the tension first.

Xu Yuanyuan believed there were ways to get them to open their mouths obediently.

Xu Yuan, Xia Ke, and Lin Yueyao were walking home when, after a while, they smelled a delicious aroma wafting from the street food stalls.

Xu Yuan suddenly turned around at this moment, raised his hand and smiled:

"Excuse me, which child would like to eat stinky tofu?"

"me!"

Xia Ke was already drooling, and upon hearing Xu Yuan's words, her body reacted almost instinctively by raising her hand.

However, after Lin Yueyao gave her a meaningful look, Xia Ke suddenly changed her mind:
"I won't eat it!"

Xu Yuan asked in surprise, "You...don't want to eat stinky tofu?"

"Stinky tofu is junk food!"

Xia Ke clutched her stomach and said seriously, "I...I will only eat the food my mothers cook from now on!"

"Are you having an upset stomach, or—"

"In that case, Yueyao and I will eat together?"

"I...I won't eat it either."

Lin Yueyao interrupted Xu Yuan, placing her hand on her stomach as well. "Um, I... I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Yueyao, you must have said that just to keep me company.

You're so loyal!
If we switched places, I couldn't stay with you.

At this moment, Xia Ke's stomach started to rumble.

Can I hold back?
"Okay, if neither of you are going to eat it, then I'll just buy it and eat it myself."

Xu Yuan queued up and bought a serving of stinky tofu. He picked up the fragrant stinky tofu and showed it to Xiao Qingmei. Xia Ke's mouth watered so much that she almost drooled. Lin Yueyao pursed her lips and looked away.

It's strange, even Xia Ke can resist temptation, let alone Yue Yao.

I don't recognize you at all!
Could it be that my delayed gratification training has been successful?

But I didn't promise her any reward.

So, something must have happened...

Just as Xu Yuan was struggling with his decision, Xia Ke suddenly stopped.

"That, that!"

Xia Ke wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, then said loudly, "I'm sorry, young master, I... I have something to take care of at home, I'll go back first!"

"Hey, Xia Ke!"

Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao didn't have time to stop Xia Ke, as she ran towards home as fast as she could.

Lin Yueyao was shocked.

Xia Ke, you traitor!

We agreed to go to Xu Yuan's house together, but you betrayed our friendship!
I'm never going to be friends with you again, hmph!

Xu Yuan watched Xia Ke leave, then handed the unfinished stinky tofu to Lin Yueyao. "Alright, now it's just the two of us. Xia Ke, what happened? Can you tell me now?"

"..."

Lin Yueyao pursed her lips and shook her head, a troubled expression on her face. "I... I really have an upset stomach."

"Then I'll throw it away."

Xu Yuan knew that Lin Yueyao couldn't stand him wasting money, and if he did this, she would definitely stop him.

No, nothing?
Xu Yuan threw the stinky tofu into the trash can. Seeing that Lin Yueyao was still enduring without saying anything, he then began to fall into deep self-doubt.

Since his rebirth, he has been cultivating his relationship with his childhood sweetheart for almost three months.

For the past three months, the three little ones have been together almost every day.

He felt that Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao both liked him quite a bit. He wouldn't say that death was the best outcome, but they were definitely very good friends.

Logically speaking, no matter what happened, they shouldn't be so cold to me.

Do they have something more important to them than the little boat of our friendship? How could it capsize so easily?
Xu Yuan and Lin Yueyao didn't speak to each other the whole way.

When they were almost home, Lin Yueyao suddenly grabbed Xu Yuan.

She gripped Xu Yuan's clothes tightly.

They held it tightly.

It was as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would leave her.

Lin Yueyao leaned against the courtyard wall, her head drooping, remaining silent.

"..."

"You have something you want to say to me, don't you?"

Xu Yuan turned around and stood in front of Lin Yueyao.

He simply raised his arm, and Lin Yueyao immediately moved closer.

Xu Yuan's gesture of patting Lin Yueyao's head clearly reassured her a lot.

"I... I'll tell you the truth, but can you grant me one request?"

"What conditions?"
