Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 445: Are You Having an Affair?

Under Lin Wanwan’s persistent invitation, i Fang accompanied her to an off-campus Gold dal Roast at Restaurant.

Usually packed during sesters, the shop was nearly empty during sumr break.

“Go ahead, Senior! Order whatever you like—my treat!”

Lin Wanwan handed i Fang the nu with both hands, then propped her chin on her palms, beaming at him with starry-eyed admiration.

Yet i Fang barely glanced at the nu. Instead, he rested his cheek on one hand, studying Lin Wanwan intently. When their eyes t, he remarked casually:

“Just get my usual.”

“H-how would I know your usual order? Senior loves teasing people!”

Lin Wanwan pouted. “I just wanted to test our fateful connection. If you guess right, maybe we can be friends.”

“Hmm… let think…”

i Fang watched as Lin Wanwan agonized over the nu before tentatively pointing at one item:

“This… honey-glazed char siu rice, right?”

“Sure?”

i Fang smiled. “My exes could recite my preferences blindfolded.”

“W-why bring them up? I’m not your ex!”

Though she protested, sweat beaded on Lin Wanwan’s forehead—as if guessing wrong would spell disaster. After prolonged deliberation, she finally committed:

“It’s the char siu!”

“No take-backs?”

“Final answer!”

Her eyes shone with determination.

i Fang nodded and called out their order: “One char siu rice, one roast duck with soy sauce chicken combo.”

“S-so… was I right?” Lin Wanwan leaned forward eagerly.

“Right or wrong doesn’t matter.” i Fang smiled. “What matters is company. You’re fun, so—”

“It matters! Did I guess correctly?!”

She lunged across the table, her athletic top straining over her curves. i Fang raised his hands in surrender:

“Fine, fine—you got it. My turn: the duck combo is your favorite, right?”

“I love everything here…”

As she twirled her hair absently, a strand ca loose. i Fang instinctively reached out to tuck it back, adjusting her wig in the process.

“S-Senior! What are you—”

Lin Wanwan swatted his hand away, blushing. “We just t! You can’t be this familiar!”

“Sorry, you reminded of soone.” His gaze turned nostalgic. “My first public girlfriend had the sa adorably clueless vibe.”

“Always talking about exes! Bringing up past relationships with new girls is a major turn-off!”

“I don’t mind.”

“Because you don’t care about my opinion?!”

i Fang stated plainly: “I’ll never date anyone else.”

Lin Wanwan froze. “…Because you can’t move on?”

“They’re my only true loves. No room for a third.”

His lancholy moved her. “Then—then win them back!”

“You wouldn’t understand.”

“You’re not that much older!”

“I’ve lived through things you can’t imagine.”

Their food arrived, and conversation flowed. Lin Wanwan shared her band aspirations.

“You seem passionate about music. What inspired you?”

“Well…”

She dabbed her lips theatrically. “Back in high school, I attended a music festival in Jiangcheng. The energy—especially bands performing together—left breathless…”

“What’s the difference between solo and band performances?”

“Alone is fine, but…” Her eyes sparkled. “I hate feeling solitary. I want to support others and be their support—not just lean on soone forever…”

As she spoke, their gazes locked—his tender, hers radiant.

After the al, Lin Wanwan wheeled her bike alongside i Fang. Before parting, she suddenly turned:

“Ah—Senior! We forgot to exchange contacts! Add my WeChat!“

“Even if you can’t have ? My heart belongs to my exes.”

“Pfft—so dramatic!”

As i Fang scanned her QR code, Lin Wanwan abruptly kissed his cheek.

…

?

i Fang stared at the blushing girl. Just as he feigned outrage, she struck a magical girl pose:

“By the power of Clow Cards, I command you—erase the last five minutes!”

“Agh—my head!”

Playing along, i Fang clutched his skull before looking up dazedly. “You needed sothing?”

“Nothing~!”

Lin Wanwan suddenly hugged him, then skipped backward, hands behind her back.

“Rember my na? Lin Wanwan.”

“Now I do.”

“Keep rembering! Our band’s first livehouse is coming—I’ll ssage you!”

“Wouldn’t miss it.”

They shared a knowing smile.

Though neither acknowledged the charade, their tacit understanding was palpable—

Dating your childhood sweetheart ans communicating in code.

That said—YuanYuan’s makeup skills are terrifying!

Only a husband like could’ve recognized her. This “Lin Wanwan” persona should work perfectly for the band.

Honestly, between her cosplay expertise and vocal flexibility—if she masters voice modulation—

Holy shit, I’ve hit the jackpot!

Elated, i Fang drove ho to find the cats swarming him.

“Missed ? Wait—Daddy’ll get your treats.”

He spent the afternoon napping on the couch until the door creaked open. Rubbing his eyes, he saw Lin Youxi in a business suit removing her heels.

“Did I wake you? Sorry.”

“It’s fine…”

As Lin Youxi undressed unabashedly, i Fang protested: “The AC’s on! You’ll catch cold!”

“Too hot outside. Showering first.”

She pinned him to the couch, straddling him while grinding against his lap.

“Ah-Fang… so cool… I’m sweaty… let … dirty you.”

“Hah… okay, okay…”

As i Fang groped her thighs, he whispered: “Now we’re both dirty. Shower together?”

“Mmm… good idea.”

Just as she stood, Lin Youxi’s expression darkened. She gripped his chin, examining his cheek.

“Ah-Fang… why is there lipstick on your face?”

“Huh? Where—”

She rubbed the faint mark. “Not mine or YuanYuan’s shade.”

“Oh! Must be from when Lin Wanwan hugged—”

“Wait. Who’s Lin Wanwan?“

i Fang blinked. “Right! It’s YuanYuan’s stage na for the band.”

“Explain.”

“She’s using that alias so—”

Lin Youxi cut him off coldly: “I asked about the lipstick. Are you cheating?“

“What?! No! It’s from YuanYuan! We had lunch!”

“YuanYuan?”

Lin Youxi frowned. “She’s at band practice across campus. Why would she be with you?”

“Maybe… she missed ?”

“Band ans everything to her right now. You wouldn’t be her priority…”

“That… hurts…”

i Fang looked crestfallen. “Fine, call her!”

……

Lin Youxi’s gaze turned glacial—a rarity. She pulled on a shirt and dialed Xia Yuan.

Ring… ring…

No answer.

“Probably busy practicing… Wait, you don’t believe ?!”

“After all these years, I want to trust you…”

“That’s not convincing!”

i Fang recounted the “Lin Wanwan” encounter. Lin Youxi pondered:

“Your story assus it’s her, but where’s the proof? Are you certain it wasn’t so lookalike?”

“I’ve known YuanYuan forever! The voice, scent, appearance, breast size—even the music festival anecdote!”

“Anyone targeting you would research your public interviews. And YuanYuan tells stories freely…”

i Fang paled.

Holy shit.

Her phone and accounts were different. The makeup altered her features slightly…

Did I really misidentify my own wife?

Seeing his panic, Lin Youxi softened. “It’s okay… I know it wasn’t intentional… Since you confessed, I’ll forgive—”

Her tone then turned steely: “But if it happens again? Kneel on steel wool. Mom taught us that punishnt. Understood?”

“Y-yes…”

As i Fang quaked, Lin Youxi suddenly smirked.

“Of course it was YuanYuan. Did you actually think you cheated?”

She showed him Xia Yuan’s selfies as “Lin Wanwan” on her phone—

They’d orchestrated this together.

“You two tricked ! Evil!”

i Fang tackled Lin Youxi in retaliation. “You’re getting punished!”

“Then… punish in the shower?”

Lin Youxi stuck out her tongue impishly.
