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

Chapter 193: Studying Together Is Impossible

Chapter 193: Studying Together Is Impossible

“It’s not completely transparent. The middle layer is frosted glass, so you can’t see inside from the outside. It covers most of the body,” Lin Youxi said as she touched the glass wall of the bathroom and spoke to both of them.

“But it’s still similar to being transparent… You can still see through,” Xia Yuan muttered on the side.

“By the way, if you don’t trust me, you don’t have to shower together. One person can shower while the other monitors me, right?” Mei Fang proposed what he thought was an acceptable solution. However, as soon as he finished speaking, both Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi fell silent.

Xia Yuan pursed her lips and looked around nervously, while Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang coldly. As soon as Mei Fang’s gaze met hers, she quickly looked away.

…

What does this mean? Hey, do you think I’m unreliable?

“It’s… it’s not about trust or distrust. We’ve known each other for so many years… It’s not like we haven’t seen each other’s body before,” Xia Yuan grumbled. “Back in kindergarten, when Ah Fang wet himself, we all saw him naked…”

“Indeed, there’s nothing to worry about,” Lin Youxi nodded and gestured with her hand. “Speaking of which… he was so small back then.”

“How long do you plan to talk about something that happened when we were around six years old?! Are you really going to remember it for a lifetime? I can’t believe it!” Mei Fang yelled with a red face, not allowing the two to continue.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi decided to take a shower together, while Mei Fang turned his back and played with his phone and waited.

The two girls undressed quietly, and Mei Fang didn’t turn around even when he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Although Mei Fang felt a little excited upon hearing the sound of running water, his conduct remained gentlemanly. Even after the girls went inside, he continued to have his back turned while playing on his phone, constantly messaging Zhang Ming to ask if he was studying properly.

Then, a voice came from the bathroom:

“Ah Fang, can you come here for a moment?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I forgot to bring the shower cap. Can you pass it to me?”

“Do you still use a shower cap when you shower? Can’t you just go without it?”

“Don’t say so much, just hurry up and get it.”

Mei Fang then rummaged through Xia Yuan’s bag.

Shower cap, shower cap, shower cap…

Is it this one?

After taking out the shower cap, Mei Fang accidentally knocked out a small item from the bag.

As he picked it up, his face turned red instantly…

Why did she bring the rubber distributed in X education class?

What is this girl thinking?! Seriously…

Mei Fang put back the rubber into the backpack, then covered his eyes and turned his back to pass the shower cap.

“Are you done?”

“I’m coming.”

Mei Fang kept his back turned while handing over the shower cap, and Xia Yuan could clearly see it from the bathroom.

She was now both grumpy and fond. Grumpy at him for being so indecisive and useless, but fond of her childhood sweetheart who was genuinely pure and innocent, with no ill intentions.

“Should I leave it at the door?”

“I can’t reach it, can you pass it to me?”

With his back turned, Mei Fang fumbled around for a while before finally finding Xia Yuan’s hand, and only then did he pass over the shower cap.

After that, Mei Fang sat obediently on the edge of the bed, away from the bathroom, and kept his head down, engrossed in his phone. The voices of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi speaking in the bathroom were muffled, but occasionally, their light laughter could be heard.

After a while, the sound of the shower stopped. Mei Fang waited for a moment, and then he felt the bed sink in one direction, and someone poked him on the back.

Mei Fang turned his head and saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi both wearing bathrobes, sitting on the bed with bare feet, and smiling at him.

…

“Did you peek just now, Ah Fang?”

Mei Fang shook his head, raising both hands, “I swear I didn’t peek or see anything at all——”

“But now you’ll see!”

Before Mei Fang could finish speaking, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi almost simultaneously opened their bathrobes. Mei Fang was so startled that he quickly covered his eyes and turned his head away, making both girls burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, Ah Fang, you looked so funny just now, hahaha…”

Mei Fang took a closer look and realized that under their bathrobes, the girls were wearing pajamas. He immediately became furiously embarrassed: “You’re such grown-up girls now, how can you have no sense of shame at all?!”

“It’s just you, Ah Fang, there’s nothing to be shy about…”

Xia Yuan had a personality of taking advantage of the weak and fearing the strong. The more awkward Mei Fang appeared the bolder Xia Yuan became. She pinched Mei Fang’s ear and then gently pulled him up, saying, “It’s your turn to take a shower, Ah Fang. But let me make it clear in advance, I can’t guarantee that I won’t peek.”

“…You wouldn’t dare either.”

Mei Fang didn’t believe that Xia Yuan had the guts to do such a thing.

He took out his change of clothes from his backpack and then turned to look at Lin Youxi, who had been watching him.

“Let me tell you, you’re not allowed to look either, and you definitely can’t barge in suddenly. Got it?”

“What do you take me for?”

Lin Youxi frowned and glanced at Mei Fang, showing a slight hint of annoyance, which made him feel like he had gone too far.

Youxi is just brave, not that she will actually do anything, right?

Most of the time, she just stops at a certain point, or she knows that I will stop her when she reaches that point…

Mei Fang carefully washed himself, mostly keeping his back turned to avoid making eye contact with the girls.

When he finished showering and came out wearing a hotel robe, he saw Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan sitting on the bed with their legs crossed, reading books.

“What are you reading? You’re not actually here to study, are you…”

“I already said, I’m here to study. This is the compulsory Math 7 textbook for high school.”

Lin Youxi showed her reading material to Mei Fang, who nodded and then sat down on a nearby chair.

…Mm? It feels like I’m sitting on something. He reached behind and pulled out a long black socks.

Mei Fang had a peculiar habit—whenever he picked up socks or underwear in his room, he would sniff them to see if he’d already worn them. Here, his mind blanked for a moment and he subconsciously brought it closer and sniffed it, then he heard the shutter sound of a camera clicking.

Lin Youxi captured the scene with her camera, while Xia Yuan curiously watched Mei Fang.

“Ah Fang is such a pervert, secretly sniffing girls’ socks.”

“N-No, it’s not like that…”

Mei Fang held up the socks and said, “Are these yours? I haven’t seen either of you wearing them before. I was wondering if they were left here by the previous guest or something…”

“Regardless, you shouldn’t have picked them up to sniff! Ah Fang is really a pervert.”

Xia Yuan made a face at Mei Fang, while Lin Youxi chimed in, “I bought these socks, and they’re actually brand new, never worn. But now Ah Fang has already sniffed them, so they’re no longer clean.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Take your socks back, and delete the photo.”

“Delete the photo? Not a chance!”

Xia Yuan stood with her hands on her hips, “Unless you straighten up and apologize to both of us.”

“I’m telling you, I’ve already accommodated both of you a lot, don’t push it… I… I’m warning you, I’m a 16-year-old boy now, and I-I’m capable of anything.”

Mei Fang’s threatening words amused Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

Seeing them laughing on the bed, Mei Fang, frustrated, immediately climbed onto the bed to try to snatch the phone, intending to erase his newly added embarrassing moment. Lin Youxi stretched her arm out, while Xia Yuan grabbed onto Mei Fang and refused to let go. He retaliated by tickling Xia Yuan, causing her to squirm and roll around on the bed.

At the same time, Lin Youxi hid her phone and began to counterattack. She reached into Mei Fang’s bathrobe, which slightly slowed down his movements. Xia Yuan then took the opportunity to get out of Mei Fang’s attack range and playfully pressed her foot on his face to block his assault.

…

“Alright, alright… ceasefire, ceasefire.”

After a tumultuous moment, Mei Fang, unable to withstand the combined forces against him, eventually surrendered. He lay down in the middle, breathing slightly, while Xia Yuan lay on the bed, propping her cheek and watching him, gently pinching his face to enjoy the aftermath. Lin Youxi, on the other hand, put on the thigh-high socks that Mei Fang had sniffed, showing no signs of concern.

“It feels like we’ve suddenly gone back to the time when we used to play together as kids,” Xia Yuan squinted her eyes and smiled. “I really miss those days!”

“Nonsense.” Mei Fang looked disdainful. “You two weren’t this naughty when you were kids, okay? Back then, Yuan Yuan was a well-behaved little angel who never did anything mischievous, and Youxi, although more lively at the time, still followed the rules more than now…”

“What do you mean I don’t follow the rules? What rules are you talking about?” After finishing her hair, Lin Youxi lay down and placed her hand on Mei Fang’s chest, gently patting it while asking him.

Being stared at by both of them simultaneously made Mei Fang feel very embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject.

“What time is it now…?”

“It’s only seven o’clock, still very early.”

Xia Yuan pulled the messy blanket from under everyone, “Why don’t we lie down and sleep for a while?”

“What about studying?”

“Just now, Youxi and I have already studied. We finished all of it!” Xia Yuan spread the blanket, and Lin Youxi caught one corner of it.

“Um… I mean, isn’t this really inappropriate?” Mei Fang touched his nose and continued. “Although I promised you that the wish coupon could be used more freely, doing something like this with three people together…”

“Just think of it as reliving our childhood! I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about it.”

I’m such a bad girl, always using sweet words to deceive our Ah Fang… Sigh… Xia Yuan felt guilty as she lay down and adjusted the pillow.

She held Mei Fang’s arm in her embrace and then lay on his side, closing her eyes.

“We can turn off the lights now and sleep.”

“Um, who’s going to set the alarm clock…”

Mei Fang’s words were cut off as Lin Youxi turned off the light.

“I’ve set the alarm, it’s okay.”

Although Mei Fang was worried whether Lin Youxi had actually done as she said, since neither of the girls was speaking now, he felt embarrassed to ask again.

So… let’s just leave it like this?

Although the streets were particularly lively during New Year, the even sound of their breathing could still be clearly heard in the room. Xia Yuan was leaning against Mei Fang’s shoulder, and Lin Youxi had almost half of her body pressed against him, and the friction from her new socks was particularly strong.

In this situation, Mei Fang didn’t dare to move at all.

In such a state, he wouldn’t be able to suppress anything. If he could suppress it, that would be strange.

Fortunately, both of them have been relatively well-behaved today and haven’t done anything that would make me lose control.

However, after a while, Mei Fang began to regret the flag he had just raised.

He first reached out to stop someone’s leg that was trying to explore further up, and then his neck was being pecked by another person who was sleep-talking.

Mei Fang, the outstanding reborn person, struggled desperately in the face of these various difficulties.
