Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 430: Lin Youxis Vigilance

Although i Fang had lived in Pengcheng for many years in his past life, he had almost no experience visiting Luohu District—after all, his workplace in Lanshan District was quite far from Luohu.

Additionally, because Luohu was close to Hong Kong and had historically catered to many Hong Kong guests, so Hong Kong-style establishnts had been replicated there. Thus, Luohu was known as a “club paradise,” far beyond the ans of soone as poor as i Fang in his past life.

This ti, accepting Liu Xiaoyu’s invitation to visit Luohu was i Fang’s first experience. The group parked near a hotel-scale standalone building, where Liu Xiaoyu led them inside while explaining the hydrotherapy club’s procedures:

“Everyone will receive a wristband, and staff will guide you to the changing rooms to shower and change. Girls can follow directly, while Ah Fang, you’ll go with the other n. The shower area has soaking tubs, steam rooms, and scrubbing services. I’m not familiar with the n’s section, but it should be similar.”

“They also provide laundry services here. After we’re done, we can change into clean clothes before leaving.”

“Got it… We’re all sweaty, so let’s hurry and shower first.”

After collecting his wristband, i Fang prepared to head to the n’s area when Lin Youxi suddenly stopped him:

“ssage us after you finish showering. Don’t wander off alone. I read online that these clubs have many ‘bad won’—don’t let them trick you.”

“Haha, as if.”

i Fang scratched his head and laughed. “Don’t you trust ? Or are you not confident in your own charm?”

“That’s not it. I’m mainly worried you’ve gotten tired of YuanYuan.”

“Hey, Youxi! Stop using as teasing material every ti!”

i Fang followed the crowd into the n’s changing area—presenting his wristband, opening a locker, changing clothes, and grabbing a towel to shower.

The process was smooth with staff guidance, but as a southerner unaccustod to public baths, walking around naked made i Fang sowhat embarrassed.

Sigh… Will other guys feel ashad when they see ?

After a comfortable shower, i Fang retrieved his phone from the locker. No ssages yet from Xia Yuan or Lin Youxi.

Girls do take longer to shower…

He didn’t dwell on it, enjoying the steam room until he felt thoroughly refreshed, then showered again.

Erging into the lounge, i Fang found a dimly lit hall filled with recliners, where many guests lounged while watching—

Just then, a service technician carrying a small bag approached. Dressed in a blue-and-white qipao with delicate makeup, she tried to link arms with i Fang:

“Handso, want to try our lounge services?”

“Uh, no thanks…” i Fang quickly stepped back. “I’m waiting for my girlfriend.”

“You can still enjoy services while waiting! There’s a promotion—complintary lounge treatnts. Just a small tip for loosening your arms and legs—”

“No need, really.”

i Fang repeatedly declined before retreating to a small table near the entrance to check his phone.

Before long, soone tapped his shoulder from behind—

Lin Youxi, the first to finish from the won’s area, had co looking for i Fang without waiting for Xia Yuan and the others.

“Why are you sitting here?”

“Waiting for you guys, like I promised. No wandering.”

Relieved, i Fang took Lin Youxi’s hand and pinched her cheek.

“That yukata… looks really good on you.”

At this upscale hydrotherapy club, guests could choose from various attire. Lin Youxi had selected a blue-green yukata, giving her a fresh, Japanese-style refined aesthetic.

In response to i Fang’s praise, Lin Youxi leaned in for a quick kiss.

“Glad you like it. Let’s explore inside first.”

“Ah? What about YuanYuan and the others?”

“YuanYuan’s soaking in a salt bath with Bingbing, Xiaoyu, and Xinyi. I didn’t want you feeling lonely, so I ca to find you.”

“Heh, my Youxi treasures most.”

Hand in hand, they toured the lounge—observing guests receiving services—before visiting other areas and grabbing snacks from the buffet.

“Want to relax in the lounge?”

“Let’s skip it… The vibe feels a bit off here.”

“True. Let’s book a private room instead! I asked Xiaoyu—private rooms are cozier.”

“Wait, that’s an option?”

“CEO i really doesn’t know how to have fun.”

Lin Youxi arranged a private room with staff—equipped with a mahjong table, six massage chairs, and a bathroom stocked with drinks and snacks. Once alone, i Fang relaxed into a massage chair, exhausted from basketball.

“Whew…”

As he lay back, Lin Youxi removed her shoes and joined him—

Not on another chair, but straddling his lap. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she smiled:

“Hello, sir. No. 520 at your service.”

“W-what are you—where did you learn this? Just now?”

Lin Youxi shook her head. “YuanYuan and I studied so… educational materials together. So featured this the—quite interesting.”

“What? Why wasn’t I included?”

“If you joined, we’d just end up doing it. You know how easily YuanYuan gets distracted during ‘lessons.’”

As Lin Youxi massaged his legs, i Fang chatted:

“Xiaoyu really knows how to have fun. How’d she find this place?”

“I saw so many entertainnt zones here—seems lively.”

“Mhm… Sounds more interesting than .”

“N-no! Don’t be so jealous.”

“Do you think I’ve beco more jealous lately?”

“Well…”

i Fang pondered. “I think you’re mostly joking… Though jealous Youxi is cute too.”

He patted her thigh. “The great Lady Lin worrying over ? How enviable!”

“But jealousy stems from insecurity.”

Lin Youxi murmured, “I’m actually conflicted.”

“Conflicted?”

“On one hand, I trust our bond—I know you’d never betray or YuanYuan.”

“But on the other, I dislike you getting too close to other girls.”

“Like Bingbing and Xiaoyu?”

i Fang considered. “If it bothers you, I’ll keep my distance…”

He rubbed his nose. “I admit I sotis lack boundaries—”

Lin Youxi suddenly leaned down to massage his shoulders, locking eyes:

“Then… do you want to do it with them?”

“W-what? Of course not! They’re just friends.”

i Fang pinched her cheek sternly. “If you’re this insecure, I won’t invite them out anymore.”

“That’s not what I an.”

Lin Youxi nestled against him, whispering:

“Since childhood, I’ve only wanted a world with just us three.”

“Right—I rember how annoyed you were when YuanYuan befriended Peng Xue. You felt ‘stolen.’”

“I still mind that. YuanYuan’s heart isn’t entirely ours—she’s reserved space for Peng Xue.”

Lin Youxi grumbled. “Though I crave just our trio’s happiness, I know you and YuanYuan aren’t like . I can’t force you to accommodate endlessly… so sotis I stay silent.”

“You two have many friends. Without , you’d probably have even more.”

“We don’t need tons of friends. Don’t bla yourself.”

i Fang hugged her. “No three people align perfectly—but our 80% compatibility brought us this far. The rest is compromise.”

“Our relationship is healthy—no one sacrifices unilaterally.”

He smiled. “Mutual compromise, three-way commitnt—isn’t this ideal?”

“Mhm…”

Lin Youxi fell silent as i Fang continued:

“I know you’ve compromised more lately—always accompanying us to basketball…”

“But it’s for fitness, right? You said my stamina worsened, so I started exercising.”

“Mhm…”

Lin Youxi nodded, then gazed down at him with a aningful smile:

“Sir, this is a wholeso massage. Since you’re misbehaving… big sister must punish you—”

“Stop—not here! There are people—”

Just then, Liu Xiaoyu knocked and entered, freezing at the sight before backing out:

“S-sorry to interrupt!”

Youxi and Ah Fang really go at it anywhere…

Another successful “infidelity detection” by Liu Xiaoyu.

Harbor No. 9’s five floors included a dedicated banquet area on the fourth level, where private chefs served excellent dishes. After bathing, the hungry group feasted heartily.

Lin Youxi unexpectedly sat beside Yue Xinyi instead of i Fang.

“……”

“……”

After a silent stare-off, Yue Xinyi—long bored of their romance—was baffled. “Aren’t you—”

“Our trio’s dynamic requires balance. I’ve had enough solo ti with Ah Fang today—he and YuanYuan need bonding ti.”

Nearby, Xia Yuan eagerly fed i Fang peeled shrimp, giggling and showering everyone in PDA.

“I admire YuanYuan. She and i Fang still act like honeymooners—I expected an old-married-couple vibe.”

“That happens too, but…”

Lin Youxi watched them fondly. “With them, I never get bored.”

“What can I say?”

Yue Xinyi shrugged. “You’ve lasted this long—who am I to judge?”

“You can admit envy. No sha.”

“Why envy that playboy? I don’t get his appeal. Ti will tell.”

She glanced at Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing, who kept stealing looks at i Fang:

“You two still get it?”

“Huh? What? Munch…”

Xiang Bingbing chewed pork blankly, clearly uninterested in the topic.

Liu Xiaoyu hastily deflected, serving Yue Xinyi:

“Here, try the roast goose and pigeon—you’ve had a long trip…”

Oh no!

Yue Xinyi had assud any lingering feelings from high school would’ve faded by now—

But sothing felt…

Off.

Lin Youxi noticed too—though not just today.

Eyes never lie.

Xiang Bingbing’s gaze at i Fang now mirrored how she’d once looked at Wan Chaoxiong—different from before being confronted.

As for Liu Xiaoyu…

Lin Youxi had never forgotten i Fang’s stunned expression upon first eting her. Despite repeated probing, Liu Xiaoyu had remained flawlessly guarded—making her even more suspicious.

This didn’t an Lin Youxi distrusted i Fang.

But unchecked, these relationships might develop unpredictably.

After all, their unconventional trio dynamic could inspire dangerous fantasies in friends.

To maintain the group’s harmony, adjustnts were needed—

Preferably without hurt feelings, but reality wasn’t always forgiving.

As Lin Youxi pondered, Xia Yuan sat blissfully in i Fang’s lap, begging for food.

YuanYuan, stop flaunting and read the room!

Defending their trio alone was exhausting.
