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

Chapter 60: Being a Child is Actually Quite Nice

The movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse is an adaptation of a very classic game, and in Mei Fangs opinion, it can easily be in the top 3.

In this movie series, it can be said that Apocalypse is the most worth watching. The others either have too small of a scope, lacking the despair of a zombie-infested city, or they become too grand and end up with scenes of characters with superpowers fighting each other.

Of course, the story that takes place in Raccoon City is one of the most iconic in this series.

In order to observe Mei Fangs viewing experience up close, Xia Yuan deliberately had Mei Fang sit in the middle of the sofa while patting Mei Fangs shoulder and jokingly reminding him.

This way, you have big sisters protecting you on both sides, Ah Fang. If youre scared, its okay to hold onto your sisters.

You two are going to protect me? Or the other way around?

Hmph, how is that possible

Can I start now?

Lin Youxi asked while holding the remote control in her hand, and after getting permission, she pressed the play button.

Two naive little brats who dont know anything.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, one initially cheerful and the other expressionless, gradually became tense as they watched the movie.

Xia Yuan unconsciously held Mei Fangs arm, while Lin Youxi placed her hand on Mei Fangs waist.

Will this person wake up later?

These, these people are so evil. They wont let so many innocent civilians go!

The zombies here are so strong, how can these few people possibly defeat them

Mei Fang was immersed in reliving his childhood memories when he suddenly noticed that Xia Yuans gaze had been fixed on him the whole time.

Why are you looking at me? Watch the movie.

I-I want to make sure youre not scared.

Its obviously you whos scared

Before Mei Fang finished speaking, a scene of a zombie devouring a female reporter suddenly appeared on the TV screen, and the loud sound of the devouring scared Xia Yuan, who screamed loudly. Lin Youxi, on the other hand, lowered her head and tightly pinched Mei Fangs waist, causing Mei Fang to also scream in pain.

This movie is so scary! Since everyone is scared, lets not watch it, okay?

Im not scared. Mei Fang defended himself.

Youre not scared? You just screamed so loudly!

Thats because Youxi was pinching me so hard!

I didnt!

Lin Youxi lied with a straight face.

Lets not watch it anymore, Im so tired Ah Fang, I want to sleep. Youxi, you must be tired too, right?

Mei Fang interrupted the two before Lin Youxi could respond, Weve already watched this far, there cant be much left. How can you sleep without finishing it?

I feel the same way Lin Youxis hand was still on Mei Fangs waist, but she didnt exert any more force. Lets finish watching it, Yuan Yuan.

Youreright.

Reluctantly, Xia Yuan let Mei Fang continue playing the movie.

What kind of horror movie is this? The female lead has superpowers, and some of the teammates are also powerful. If you really want to watch a horror movie, it should be the one I picked

Shh, dont talk!

Mei Fangs enthusiastic introduction was interrupted, but he didnt feel offended. Instead, he felt a bit somewhat sentimental.

Being with them, Ive become a bit childish too

He was really enjoying the movie-watching experience at the moment.

Mei Fang has always been someone who loved watching movies since he was young. He often went to the audio and video rental shop to rent DVDs to watch. However, at that time, his parents were busy with work, so he always watched them alone.

Of course, watching movies alone could also be thrilling.

However, without someone to share the movie-watching experience with, it always felt like something was missing.

The reason why he chose Silent Hill was also to fulfill a childhood regret.

The first time he watched Silent Hill was on the TV. It was already very late that time, and he was the only one at home.

He curled up in his blanket and watched the movie alone, his teeth chattering in fear.

And just when the movie switched to a tense and thrilling scene, the power in his house suddenly went out.

The power outage lasted until noon the next day.

One can imagine how Mei Fang spent that night alone.

He still remembers the pitch-black world in his dream, the dream where he couldnt see his own hand in front of him, the pyramid head, the corpse in the toilet, and the little girl on fire.

Although many years later, he finally watched it again, he could never find the feeling he had when he first watched it in his elementary days.

Now, watching Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi completely absorbed in the movie, Mei Fang felt an indescribable happiness.

Although he could never return to his innocent past, seeing the two of them reminded him of his youth.

Im very lucky to have met them.

Phew finally finished watching.

Xia Yuan stretched and yawned, In the end, it wasnt that scary. The final boss didnt feel as oppressive as those zombies earlier.

Lin Youxi nodded, I feel the same way. It was a bit anticlimactic. Maybe they were in a rush to finish filming. The boss was supposed to be so oppressive, they could have filmed more scenes.

Alright, alright!

Mei Fangs excitement was just beginning, Next, lets watch Silent Hill. Dont forget, we still have a bet!

Ah were still watching? Ah Fang, I really dont want to watch anymore, Im tired.

Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes and said, Im tired and sleepy. I just want to sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Youxi also nodded in agreement, Lets watch it tomorrow, Ah Fang. Weve already watched two movies today, lets process what weve seen first!

Okay

Mei Fang took a deep breath, looking disappointed.

After washing up, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi went to the master bedroom to sleep, while Mei Fang returned to his own room.

Mei Fangs mind was now filled with the plot of Silent Hill.

He wondered how Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan would react if they saw those scenes, how scared their expressions would be.

As he kept thinking, he started to feel a bit sleepy.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Mei Fang jumped up from the bed in shock.

Dang it, you scared me!

It was Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan who came in.

Ah Fang

Why are you two not sleeping? Why are you here?

Ah Fang we cant sleep.

Xia Yuan pinched her nose and looked around, Theres no air conditioning in your room, its hot to sleep at night. Do you want to come to our room?

Isnt that a bit inappropriate? Mei Fang shook his head. Im a guy, after all.

What are you thinking about? You can sleep on the floor, or I can sleep on the floor with Youxi. What do you think?

Hurry up and come over.

Lin Youxi said concisely, staring coldly at Mei Fang, with an expression that seemed to say I wont let you off.

Okay, Ill sleep on the floor.

Mei Fang couldnt argue with the two girls and reluctantly followed them to the master bedroom.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi helped Mei Fang set up a sleeping area on the floor and brought him a pillow.

This should be fine

Mei Fang looked towards Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, who were sitting on the bed facing each other. Can we turn off the light now?

Wait, why do you want to turn off the lights so early?

Xia Yuan wrapped herself and Lin Youxi tightly in a blanket, Lets talk about something else before sleeping.

Mei Fang thought for a moment and smiled slightly, How about telling a ghost story?

Do you want to die!?

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi threw pillows at Mei Fangs face.

After that, they playfully chatted about various topics. After a while, everyone finally started to feel tired.

Mei Fang turned off the light quietly, leaving only the faint murmurs of conversation from Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan on the bed.

Seeing that both of them had peacefully entered dreamland, Mei Fang tiptoed toward the bedroom door, ready to leave quietly. However, at that moment, he heard faint murmurs.

Ah Fang dont go please dont go, okay?

Mei Fang paused for a moment, because he couldnt tell if the voice was from Xia Yuan or Lin Youxi.

After a moment of silence, he chose to return to his own room.

Although it was a bit hot outside, it was still bearable.

Mei Fang leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and looked at the sparkling starry sky outside the window, a beautiful night view that could still be seen in 2008.

If it were a few more years later, he might never see the stars in the sky again.

Time really flies

Mei Fang let out a long, long sigh.

Being a child is actually quite nice.
