Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 184: This Prospective Boyfriend of Yours Is a Big Ph

Due to the need for ancestral veneration during the Lunar New Year, i Lixiong’s family would always return to their ancestral ho in Baii County a few days before New Year. They would go with i Lijun to pay respects to i Fang’s grandparents and other ancestors by sweeping their graves and offering incense.

In previous years, they would stay in the ancestral house they inherited. However, there was a slight change in the situation this year.

The area near i Lijun’s ancestral ho was undergoing urban redevelopnt, and that old house was also part of it. This ant that i Lijun would receive a compensation paynt for the demolition.

Of course, this event was different from his previous life. In his past life, after i Lijun’s failed business venture, he sold his house and moved back into the ancestral ho in an area without much developnt planned. This change was hard not to associate with his current position as the bureau’s deputy director.

However, i Lijun always cherished his reputation. He had checked the docunts and planning process, and everything was done according to regulations, without any corruption.

Now that i Lijun’s family was doing well financially and had no economic pressure, they naturally wanted to share the compensation from the demolition of the old house and discuss the resettlent of the new house with his older brother and younger sister.

His early invitation to i Lixiong was also to discuss these matters and see if his family had any thoughts or desires to return to Baii County.

Adults dealt with adult matters, while the younger generation enjoyed carefree childhoods and passionate youth.

i Yue had recently heard from i Ya about i Fang’s romantic history with his two childhood sweethearts. Being curious, she kept pestering i Fang for photos. Helpless, i Fang finally sent her a photo taken by Xia Yuan before they left their apartnt, capturing the two girls together. It instantly made i Yue’s heart explode with excitent.

“I can’t believe you’ve known these two girls for over ten years. You’re quite impressive, Xiaofangzi! How did you manage to keep this a secret and never tell about it?”

“I didn’t keep it a secret… There just wasn’t any topic that could bring up their nas in our conversations.”

i Yue carefully examined the photo of Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.

“Based on the photo, these two girls have their own unique beauty, but personally, I prefer the girl with the radiant smile.”

“You an Yuan Yuan?”

i Yue nodded after learning Xia Yuan’s na. “She seems to be more lively. Xiaofangzi, you’re sotis too serious. You need a girl who is proactive, sunny, and cheerful to accompany you. Otherwise, even if you grow up, you might not understand anything.”

It seems that Youxi’s dignified image is really deceptive…

“You don’t need to worry about that, Sister Yue Yue. Speaking of which, I already showed you their photo. What about your prospective boyfriend?”

“Alright, since you showed their photo, here it is.”

i Yue showed i Fang a photo of a young man on her phone.

i Fang nodded, noting that the man in the photo matched the appearance of the scumbag from his mories perfectly.

At first glance, he appeared mature and reliable. His daily photos also seed to have a sense of style. He often took selfies while drinking coffee, beautiful scenery shots, and with artistic captions.

Of course, looking at it from the perspective of a person from 2022, the information i Yue showed could easily make people feel suspicious.

However, in 2012, when the internet was not as developed and idol dramas were still popular, girls like i Yue, who ca from average families and had just stepped into society, were full of passion, energy, and innocence. They had naive fantasies about love and were unaware of the world’s wickedness. They had just taken their first painful step into a pit.

“How long have you known him, Sister Yue Yue? How did you et him?”

“It’s been almost half a year. We t at a senior sister’s wedding.”

“At first, I didn’t give him my contact information because he seed a bit frivolous. But later, we coincidentally t and chatted in a coffee shop near our company. I realized that he’s actually an approachable guy.”

As i Yue spoke, her fondness for him beca apparent. “He really pays attention to details. Although he’s busy with work, he often checks up on and asks how I’m doing. We have many common interests, we eat together and watch movies together. When I’m upset, he’s willing to stay up late talking to …

“The most important thing is that he respects . We’ve known each other for so long, but he’s never touched inappropriately. I think that’s great. Xiaofangzi, don’t be handsy with your two childhood sweethearts, okay? I’m telling you, most girls really hate flirty guys.”

i Fang thought to himself: “In my case, it’s ‘they’re handsy with ’ and ‘they want to be handsy with them.’ I guess I don’t fall into the category of being flirty…”

He then asked i Yue, “Have you been to his company?”

“Um… No, I haven’t been. He said he works in the tech industry. He studied computer science. You used to like computers when you were young, right? You know, an IT guy.”

i Fang shook his head, “IT guys don’t have ti to groom themselves so ticulously and be all refined like him. They always look exhausted with thick dark circles under their eyes. They can spend a whole night fixing bugs, unlike him, who looks so radiant.”

“Xiaofangzi, that’s a stereotype… Besides, he’s the boss after all, so he shouldn’t be that busy, right?”

“Starting a business is not easy, and bosses have to work hard to make their ventures successful… Well, maybe I went too far with that statent.”

i Fang knew that this kind of persuasion required a gradual approach, and he also didn’t want to co across as just a high school student, so he slightly eased off his offensive.

“I just feel that as a boyfriend, he seems okay. But this guy doesn’t sound busy at all, completely different from what I know about startup company bosses.”

i Yue pondered for a mont, “Hmm… I always get instant replies when I ssage him, and I’ve asked him about it, but he says it’s because he has set to “Top Priority.” But maybe he’s just not that busy lately? I guess tech companies aren’t busy all year round, are they?”

“Well, this… this guy definitely sounds like a talented IT expert.”

“Mm-hmm! He’s not only the founder of the company, he’s also a skilled programr. His technical prowess is well-known.”

“Since he has so much ti recently, I happen to have so programming issues. There’s a piece of code that I can’t compile, and I can’t find the bug anywhere. I don’t know anyone around who understands this. Can you help send it to him to take a look?”

i Yue always knew that i Fang had a passion for programming since he was young, but she didn’t think much of her cousin’s ten years of coding experience. At best, it was probably just a beginner’s level, so she naturally didn’t take his probing too seriously.

Besides, it seed like her cousin was sowhat dissatisfied with her prospective boyfriend, which presented a great opportunity for building trust between the two.

“Sure, I’ll help you and send it to him. He always replies to my ssages instantly, so I guarantee he’ll help you solve it right away.”

“Okay, no need to rush… Just let know the solution tomorrow night.”

i Fang successfully sent his old code to i Yue, which she then sent it to her prospective boyfriend, and since then, i Yue had been waiting for a reply from him.

On the following night, she was still staring at her phone anxiously.

i Fang leisurely approached i Yue, who had a worried expression on her face.

“So, Sister Yue Yue, did that guy fix my code’s bug?”

“Well… he said he could do it quickly, but he hasn’t replied to my ssages for the past two days. I’m starting to worry.”

“Maybe he got busy with work?” i Fang pretended to remind her.

“How can things be so coincidental, do you think I’m stupid?”

i Yue pondered for a mont and then asked i Fang, “Did you really write this code yourself? It’s not so difficult coding question you gave him, right?”

“I did write it myself… Because I’m not skilled, I added comnts to every line. Since this guy is an expert programr, he should be able to understand it just by reading the comnts, right? If you don’t believe , you can search it on Baidu. If you can find my code there, that proves I found this code online, right?”

i Fang innocently played the role of an innocent and clueless person, while i Yue gradually realized that sothing was off.

“Maybe he really is as you described, and this whole tech company thing is a scam… No, I have to call and ask him.”

Just as i Yue finished speaking, her phone suddenly vibrated. She checked the ssage content and then happily forwarded it to i Fang.

“He’s been busy with work these days, fixing bugs overnight, so he forgot to reply to . Take a look and see if it’s fixed.”

“No need to look, Sister Yue Yue.” i Fang waved his hand after hearing that and let out a sigh.

“This prospective boyfriend of yours is a big phony.”
