Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 73: Gift for Dad

Yuan Yuan is here?

i Fang initially wanted to quickly ride away, but he rembered that he was still wearing his life-saving gear on his head.

Its fine, Im wearing a helt, so she shouldnt be able to recognize .

i Fang looked across the street and indeed caught a glimpse of Xia Yuans figure.

At this mont, Xia Yuan was holding her mothers hand, and the two of them were each carrying a bag, as if they had just co back from shopping.

She and her mother were chatting and laughing, seemingly unaware of i Fang and Lin Youxi on the other side of the street.

After the traffic light turned green, i Fang rode the scooter around the street corner and stopped. Lin Youxi was still hugging him tightly.

Yuan Yuan shouldnt be able to see us anymore, so you can let go now.

Ah Fang, did she see us?

i Fang shook his head, No

Are you sure?

Yeah from this distance, even if she saw us, she wouldnt recognize us!

Thats good. Lin Youxi slowly released her embrace on i Fang. Lets go ho now.

But, Youxi i Fang paused. Dont you think its a bit strange for us to be like this?

Strange? How?

i Fang explained, Although buying an electric scooter and riding it today is a special circumstance, I feel like ever since middle school, when were together, it always seems secretive. Even at school, you rarely talk to , it feels too deliberate.

Yuan Yuan is not in the sa class as you now, and she has a lot of academic pressure. If were always together, I feel like

Lin Youxi paused, I feel like she would feel insecure.

That might be true, but

i Fang worriedly said, I care about Yuan Yuan just like you do, but I also hope that you care more about yourself. Not talking to at school is not really a big deal but dont force yourself not to talk to , that would be really uncomfortable.

Im not like that!

Lin Youxi suddenly pinched i Fang in annoyance.

Ah Fang, youre great in every way, but this is the most annoying thing about you! You always like to guess whats on my mind, but I like the way things are now. In school, I have to prioritize studying and need to focus more on that, otherwise

As Lin Youxi was speaking, she suddenly realized sothing. She leaned in close to i Fangs ear from behind and whispered:

Ah Fang do you feel like Ive been ignoring you at school and feel insecure?

Huh? Haha, dont joke around, how is that possible

The warm breath from Lin Youxis words brushed against i Fangs ear, giving him a tingling sensation

As soon as i Fang finished speaking, Lin Youxi suddenly started pinching and teasing him, making i Fang scream:

Hey, hey, stop it! Youre the class monitor, rember? Class Monitor Lin, its shaful for you to be so mischievous! If the students from Class 9 see you, theyll make fun of you!

Hey, Group Leader i, please understand, that were not at school right now.

Lin Youxi pinched i Fangs waist, Im not the Class Monitor Lin Youxi right now, Im your friend Youxi, understand the situation.

She smiled and pinched i Fangs shoulder, Actually, I thought you would have made a lot of new friends at school and be quite content, so you wouldnt need to always be with you. But since Ah Fang feels lonely, Ill spend more ti with you outside of school and co play with you.

Whos lonely? Not to ntion you and Yuan Yuan, my mischievous little sister at ho, even though shes only 7 years old, she drives crazy every day, and shes incredibly noisy.

i Fang didnt understand how the topic suddenly turned to him being lonely, but fortunately, Lin Youxi didnt continue talking about it and changed the subject:

By the way, how is that Flappy Bird ga we made performing overseas?

Its been a while since I last checked, probably only getting dozens of downloads a day, not making much money.

i Fangs strategy was to release the ga for free and earn money through traffic and advertisents. Players were only given 3 lives per day, but they could watch an ad to get an extra life.

In 2008, the first generation of iPhones didnt enter the dostic market at all. Before, setting up overseas paynt accounts for i Fang was quite troubleso. This ti was just a trial run. For this ga to truly beco popular, they would need to wait for Apple to go international. Only by becoming a truly social ga, by introducing leaderboards and sharing features, could it beco popular.

We can put this ga aside once its done, lets think about what ga to make in the future together. Ah Fang, do you have any ideas?

Of course I do but the ti isnt quite right yet. We can look into it in a year or two.

At this ti, Unity3D did not have support for the Android platform, so i Fangs early plan in the ga could only go to this extent. And i Fang didnt have enough ti, technology, and manpower to make a standalone PC ga.

Also, I want to see if I have the ability to create a website for watching videos.

A website for watching videos Do you an, like Youku?[1]

Not exactly its a relatively new type of website technology that I learned about on a forum. Its a danmaku[2] video website, which has beco popular in Japan in the past two years.

Dan what?

Lin Youxi was very curious about the unknown knowledge. She kept pushing i Fangs back, urging him, Tell quickly, what is it for?

Well that website, you should learn Java and Golang[3] first. Specifically, it allows ssages sent by others to appear as scrolling text on the video youre watching

i Fang chatted with Lin Youxi about his future plans to beco an industry tycoon. Before long, they arrived at Lin Youxis house.

Lin Youxis house was a relatively old two-story single-door house. Seeing a motorcycle parked at the doorstep, she said to i Fang, My dad should be ho now, Ill go call him.

Have you figured out what to say? Dont reveal your secret.

Yeah. Lin Youxi nodded and walked into the house while i Fang followed her behind. She told her dad about winning the first prize at the Xinchun Supermarket from a lottery event while shopping with i Fang.

Shopping at the supermarket with i Fang and winning this electric scooter from the lottery?

Lin Guochuan looked at the electric scooter outside and the excited expressions of Lin Youxi and i Fang. Still a bit groggy from just waking up, he didnt appear overly happy. He just scratched his head and said, Since you both won it together, our family cant monopolize it.

Its okay, Uncle Lin. I was just accompanying Youxi to buy things, and she drew the prize. It has nothing to do with . I just helped Youxi ride it back.

You cant say that. How much does this scooter cost Ill give you half, but i Fang, you have to give it to your mom. Ill call her later to tell her about this.

Lin Guochuan took out several hundred yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to i Fang.

No, really, its not necessary, Uncle Lin

Ah Fang, just take it. Lin Youxi also persuaded i Fang. Seeing this, i Fang no longer refused.

This scooter is pretty good you two are quite capable.

Lin Guochuan finally ca to his senses and looked at the electric scooter with joy. My old motorcycle always fails to start. Now I have a replacent.

Its just that this scooter is a bit small, Uncle Lin, its not that comfortable for you to ride.

Its okay, size doesnt matter to , as long as I can ride it, haha.

Lin Guochuan, just like his daughter said, didnt mind the size or compatibility of the scooter at all. He smiled and said, Ah Fang, when you grow up a little more, you can borrow this scooter.

Okay, Uncle Lin!

Well, Dad, Im going to play at Ah Fangs house now.

Will you co back for lunch?

I will. Ill eat at ho and then go over in the afternoon. Lin Youxi nodded. Its rare that youre at ho and not at the construction site, so Ill definitely want to eat with you.

I dont mind, its fine if you want to go to the i Fangs house to eat.

After his daughter and i Fang left, Lin Guochuan tried starting the electric scooter that Lin Youxi had won in the lottery.

Although it was a bit small, the electric scooter was much easier to use than a motorcycle.

In the future, I can also pick up and drop off Youxi for school when I have ti.

While thinking about this, Lin Guochuan suddenly found a small receipt tucked beneath the storage compartnt inside of the scooter.

He bent down and picked up the receipt, which had the contact number and paynt details for Aima Electric Scooter Shop written on it.

Lin Guochuan imdiately understood that this gift given to him was not as simple as winning it in a lottery.

He imdiately opened his phone, ready to call i Fangs ho.

But his finger hovered over the dial key for a while before putting it down.

Lin Guochuan sat on the electric scooter in silence for a long ti, staring blankly at the sky.

In his eyes, Lin Youxi has always been a sensible daughter that he is proud of.

But the more sensible she was, the more guilty he felt as a father.

Guilty for not paying enough attention to his daughter, he didnt even know about the money she had saved.

Lin Youxis New Years money has been left to her, who also has her own savings account. Besides that, she must have found a way to earn so money.

As for the source of the money, he believed in his daughters character and knew she wouldnt do anything out of the line. Her best friend i Fang should also be fully aware of everything

After a while, he scrolled through his contacts and dialed a number.

This ti, he called a friend of his.

After exchanging pleasantries on the phone, Lin Guochuan brought up the main topic:

By the way, Lao Jiang, about that thing you ntioned last ti

Heh, Lao Lin, have you finally co to your senses? Ive been saying for a long ti that people always need to move forward, and you should too. By the way, I have to ntion, it might not matter to you, but your daughter Youxi is at that age now, and there are many things that you, as her father, cant teach her, and you dont have ti to take care of her properly.

Anyway, it is important for a family to have a mother figure in order to ensure the emotional well-being of the daughter.

I know So please contact her and ask when she has ti to et, I want to have a good talk with her.

Since I told you about her situation last ti, do you have any other questions?

Nothing Let et her first.

After a pause, Lin Guochuan continued, As long as she can treat Youxi well.

I think hes probably going on a bit of a date, at least from the context here his coworker mightve recomnded it before to give his daughter a mother but he was never able to move on from his late wife.
