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

Chapter 59: Just Like Playing House When We Were Kids

The first thing Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi did when they got home was to shout that they wanted to take a bath.

Im all sweaty, Ill go first!

After saying that, Xia Yuan stuck her head out of the bathroom again, Youxi, its rare for us to spend the night together, lets take a shower together?

Huh? Um

Lin Youxi felt a little embarrassed as she twirled her hair, Ah Fangs bathroom is a bit small, wont it be too cramped

Whats the big deal, come on!

In the end, Lin Youxi was dragged to the bathroom by Xia Yuan.

Lin Youxi hurried to the bedroom to get clothes, and on the way, she passed by the corridor where Mei Fang was, gesturing a fist at him.

If you dare to peek, you know what will happen, right?

Whats there to see.

Mei Fang looked disdainful.

I am a gentleman.

While the two were taking a bath together, Mei Fang tried all the DVDs they rented.

They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs.

In this era, many Chinese dubs were pirated and privately recorded. Probably due to technical issues, whenever a character spoke, it would lower the background and special effects sounds of the entire scene. In short, it was not very comfortable to watch. Original DVDs were still more enjoyable.

But as long as the crucial Silent Hill had the original audio, it was enough to fully enjoy the experience.

After Mei Fang finished testing the DVDs, he took out the snacks Xia Yuan had gathered from home. He took out the watermelon soaked in water and cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, brought over some cola, and even put all the ice cubes from the fridge into it.

There was no air conditioning in Mei Fangs living room, but fortunately, it was not very hot after 4 oclock, and the strong wind from the fan was refreshing.

The sound of street vendors selling snacks could be heard outside, while the sound of girls playing and laughing could always be heard from the bathroom.

Girls sure take their time in the shower.

Mei Fang yawned, eating watermelon, leaning on the sofa, and was about to take a break when the girls finished taking shower and came out of the bathroom.

Ahh, Ah Fang, you smell bad, dont dirty the sofa! Get up, get up!

Xia Yuans hair was all curly and wet after taking a shower, and the scent of shampoo could be smelled from the distance.

Mei Fang was urged by Xia Yuan to get up and was forced to take a shower.

He only took 5 minutes to shower and came out. At this time, Xia Yuan had just finished blow-drying her hair and was blow-drying Lin Youxis hair. She sat behind Lin Youxi, carefully taking care of and combing Lin Youxis hair, her eyes filled with a motherly affection.

You finished washing so quickly?

Thats how it is in the summer.

Well its up to you.

Xia Yuan finished blow-drying Lin Youxis hair and then called Mei Fang over, Ill blow-dry your hair for you.

Mei Fang patted his newly trimmed buzz cut, I only have a few strands of hair left. Itll dry in a moment.

Wet hair can cause a headache. Listen to me!

Mei Fang reluctantly took Lin Youxis previous seat, and Xia Yuan gently blow-dried his hair with a low setting. Mei Fang couldnt help but reminisce:

Its just like playing house when we were kids

Mm-hmm

Xia Yuan agreed while she concentrated on blow-drying Mei Fangs hair.

Meanwhile, Lin Youxi started fiddling with Mei Fangs DVD player. She carefully wiped the disc of Anacondas and put it in.

If we keep fussing around, itll be dark soon. Can we start?

Just wait a moment!

Xia Yuan pressed down on Mei Fangs head and instructed Lin Youxi to close the curtains.

Turn off the lights and lets start watching. Thats how you create an atmosphere!

Lin Youxi hesitated for a moment, but then obediently did as she was told.

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was not a horror film, but a disaster thriller. These Hollywood movies generally followed the same formula: In order to change the current dire situation or for scientific progress, the team members had to venture into the ancient deep mountains and forests to find treasures. The team members would have a brief introduction, with characters like the attractive heroine, the handsome hero, and the strong guy. Also, there would always be a villian with hidden agenda, who would put everyone in danger.

The plot started with everyone peacefully on an adventure. Then, things got eerie, and the impulsive strong guy was unexpectedly swallowed by the giant snake. After that, everyone started escaping, encountering more dangers, and discovering the villains secret. In the end, the villain was killed by the giant snake due to his ambition, and the handsome hero also sacrificed himself.

The attractive heroine didnt get the treasure in the end, just barely survived by the skin of her teeth. At least, the giant snake was killed. Just when everyone thought it was finally over, the giant snake opened its eyes again and its offspring came out from its lair, setting the stage for the next installment.

Since it was their first time watching a movie together, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were quite engrossed. Every time the giant snake appeared, they would scream, hugging each other tightly. Mei Fang, on the other hand, sat on the side like an outsider, quietly eating potato chips while paying attention to the plot.

They chose movies that Ive already seen. Its really boring

The highlight of this movie was mainly in the special effects in the second half. Just when it should be the scariest, there would always be the untimely sound of a street vendor selling snacks outside. The vendor was playing their announcements through loudspeaker on a loop in a rap-like style, declaring their arrival to the surrounding residents.

Tofu pudding, mini steamed buns, flower rolls, sponge cakes, braised eggs, steamed buns, wood ear mushroom soup, tremella soup, lotus seed congee, eight treasure congee, rice cake, soy milk, milk.

The sound from the vendors loudspeaker traveled through the streets, penetrated the neighborhood, and reached Mei Fangs home. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi watched the brutal scene with calm expressions first, but eventually couldnt bear it any longer.

Its so noisy outside! Why does it keep stopping here?

Isnt it like this every day at this time

Mei Fang reluctantly pressed the pause button. Should we watch it later?

Yeah, thats a good idea

Xia Yuan rubbed her growling stomach and looked at the almost empty food on the coffee table. Ah Fang, lets go buy some food from the stall! I want to eat braised eggs.

Then Ill go down and buy. What do you want to eat, Youxi?

Ill go too. Lin Youxi said. The auntie at the snack stall makes the best pancakes. I dont know why its not in her announcements.

Both of you are going? Then, then Ill go too But lets not buy too much. We still have to eat dinner. I promised Aunt Mei to make sure you eat properly, Ah Fang.

The three of them went together to the stall at the entrance of the neighborhood and bought braised eggs, tofu puddings, and the pancakes recommended by Lin Youxi. They finished the pancakes on their way back to the elevator.

After watching Anacondas, the three of them started preparing dinner.

There were already batch of vegetables stored in the fridge prepared by Mei Fangs mom, so they didnt need to buy any. Mei Fang cooked rice, Xia Yuan washed the vegetables, and Lin Youxi was in charge of cutting the vegetables. Although they were all 12-year-old children, they were already able to handle some tasks like adults.

While cooking, they discussed the details of the movie they just watched and also discussed what movie they should watch next.

I noticed that Ah Fang looked like he wanted to fall asleep earlier, but this time the movie I chose definitely wont be like that.

Xia Yuan looked confident, with one hand on her waist. Ive been following this movie for a long time. Its much scarier than the zombie game we played in the arcade before! Ah Fang, you might get scared and wet your pants like when we were kids, hahaha!
