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

"Oh, how can this be possible? A successful family and career are necessary for a fulfilled life."

The boss wanted to say a few more words to Mei Fang, then he looked at his watch, picked up his coat and said to Mei Fang, "I have to go to the show, otherwise your sister-in-law will scold me again."

"Go quickly, Brother Yu."

Mei Fang said goodbye to his boss with a smile, then heaved a sigh of relief and began to focus on the progress of the project.

Without the programmer to collaborate, it would take a little time to figure out the process, but after all, they have been connected for so long that he can handle many things on his own.

However, if I had studied programming in college, would it be easier and more flexible now, and would the project progress faster?

Mei Fang couldn't help but sigh.

The lost days will never come back. Even if we ask him to learn the code again now, he doesn’t have the energy given the intensity of his current overtime work.

Let’s launch the project sooner.

It would be better to go online sooner.

This way, at least I can get a bonus, and the salary I cut before may even increase...

Then, the debt owed by my father can be paid off, and we will have money to renovate the new house in my hometown.

What happens after that?

Mei Fang couldn't help sneezing. He looked out the window at the mottled night sky. He was the only one left in the company.

Today everyone really went home.

Obviously, few of them have a partner. They are probably just taking advantage of the holiday season to relax...

But it's understandable.

I'll go back early today too.

After working overtime until half past ten, Mei Fang turned off all the lights in the company, locked the door and went downstairs. On the way to take a taxi home, all the restaurants were closed and only the Lawson convenience store next to it was still brightly lit.

It’s better to have some midnight snack before going back...so that you won’t have to eat instant noodles when you’re hungry.

Mei Fang walked into the convenience store, ordered a simple bowl of oden and a few skewers, then took a can of sugar-free cola, and then sat down at the buffet table.

Next door is an urban office lady who looks quite elegant. She has long black hair, but it is a little frizzy. She usually goes out without makeup and doesn't look like she knows how to take care of herself.

At this moment, she was looking out the window with her chin in her hand. There were many empty beer cans on the table.

You have pretty facial features, but you actually spent Valentine's Day alone?

He drank so much, it seems he is a sad person.

In fact, this was not the first time Mei Fang had seen her. Usually, Mei Fang would stay in the convenience store for a while after working overtime, and the two of them would almost always run into each other.

Of course, we didn't talk much before that.

Mei Fang is not the type of person who would actively approach women.

Mei Fang was eating oden while refreshing today's game-related information.

Oh, Wolong is about to come out.

You can also kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou together with Guan Yu, which looks very cool.

Unfortunately, the project is so tight that I can only watch the big guys' clearance videos at noon...

While watching the video, Mei Fang unconsciously glanced towards the woman.

She had been keeping the same posture for a long time. He couldn't see her expression from this angle, and the beer can in her hand had been hanging in the air without moving, which was always a cause for concern.

Wow, she must have fallen asleep...

Mei Fang wanted to raise his hand to greet the other party, but his hand hanging in the air unconsciously retracted.

Haha...I hope I won’t be mistaken for a pervert.

Mei Fang once was complained by a girl when he was taking the subway to work in the capital because he was too close to her. At that time, she deliberately shouted very loudly, making Mei Fang embarrassed. After that, he would subconsciously keep a certain distance from women.

Let’s finish eating the oden first and then wait and see. If she’s still not awake after I finish eating, I’ll call her.

Mei Fang lowered his head and finished eating the oden, with half a can of sugar-free cola left.

She still maintained a stiff posture.

……

Mei Fang was really worried about her condition. He cleared his throat and called out to her softly.

"Um... hello? Beautiful?"

The woman moved slightly at Mei Fang's response. She rubbed her numb elbow and looked at Mei Fang in a daze, with some confusion in her eyes.

At the same time, the work badge hanging around her neck fell down.

Mei Fang was stunned for a moment when he saw the name on the other party's work badge. When he was about to start a conversation, his cell phone rang.

"Feel sorry……"

The person who sent the video chat was Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia. Upon seeing this, Mei Fang quickly turned off the video request and instead called back for a voice chat. The two began to talk in their hometown dialect.

"The signal here is bad, what's wrong?"

"Isn't this just caring about you?"

"Didn't we contact each other on the weekend?"

"You're still outside now. Have you eaten yet? Are you still working overtime?"

"No, I'm outside..." Mei Fang paused, "I'm having dinner with friends!"

"Today is Valentine's Day, so it should be with a girl, right?"

"Uh...don't worry about it."

"Okay, I don't care, you guys just have a good chat, haha...work less overtime, your health is more important."

"know."

Mei Fang hung up the phone in a hurry, and then saw that the woman he woke up was staring at him.

"I'm sorry... I saw you didn't move just now, so I thought you were asleep."

The other party shook his head gently, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"Um……"

Mei Fang glanced at her work badge again with some concern, but didn't say anything more.

The young woman took a sip of beer, shook the can and thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Mei Fang, and asked with a smile, holding her chin:

"You are from Baimei County, right?"

She asked this question in her hometown dialect, and Mei Fang was also surprised when she heard it, "What a coincidence... Are you also from Baimei County?"

"Yes." The young woman nodded, "But I haven't been back for many years."

"Um...you're not going back for the New Year?"

"There aren't many people at home. My mom died in a car accident when I was very young, and my dad died of illness when I just graduated from college. As for other people, there's nothing much to mention."

"..."

Mei Fang didn't expect that she could tell a stranger about her misfortune so lightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Well... well, it may not make sense to say this now, but people always have to look forward."

"Look forward..."

Mei Fang smiled slightly at the other person's stunned gaze and said, "Were you a senior at Baimei No. 1 Middle School? Did you do very well in school and always rank first in the grade?"

"Do you recognize me?"

"You are indeed the Lin Youxi. We are from the same grade, in Class 14, and on the same floor. Oh, by the way... my name is Mei Fang."

Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang for a while, and finally smiled warmly:

"I remember your name."

"Haha... How could you possibly remember me? I didn't do anything notable in high school, and my grade ranking wasn't high."

"I went to the same kindergarten as you. You peed in your pants in kindergarten and borrowed someone else's pants. Everyone called you the bed-wetter."

"Hey, hey... when did that happen? You remember it so clearly from decades ago! I have completely forgotten it!"

Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang and said, "Because you wet the bed at that time, the teacher asked you to take a bath in a tub or something, and everyone was watching you, so I remember it. That was the first time I saw a boy's pussy."

"Let's not talk about this dark history..."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Lin Youxi smiled and rubbed his eyes.

When she was in high school, she was a university bully who was kept away by strangers. After she started working, her goddess temperament was reduced a lot, but she still had a cold face from a distance. Mei Fang didn't expect that she could smile so brightly.

"A top student is indeed a top student. His memory is so good... He can even remember everything in kindergarten so clearly."

"Not really... I remember it so clearly, there is actually another reason."

"Ok?"

Lin Youxi held his chin and gulped down the beer in the can.

"When you were in kindergarten, you had a very good relationship with my childhood sweetheart. She was always around you."

"Really? Is the childhood sweetheart you're talking about a girl? I've been single since birth and have never been popular with girls."

"At least there was one at that time."

Lin Youxi lightly touched the beer cans around her and found that she had drunk all the beer. She stood up and went down to get another can of beer. Mei Fang was surprised to see that she seemed to be fine.

"Isn't your boyfriend worried about you after drinking so much?"

"I don't have a boyfriend. I'm single like you."

Lin Youxi put a can of beer on the table. "It's rare to meet a fellow countryman in a place like Pengcheng. Do you want to drink with me? I'll treat you."

"Forehead……"

Mei Fang didn't have a habit of drinking and would get drunk easily, but the other party seemed interested, and Mei Fang was also interested in the childhood sweetheart she mentioned, so she agreed immediately, opened a can of beer with Lin Youxi, and took a sip.

"By the way, what was the name of your childhood sweetheart? I might still remember it."
