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

The movie “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” is an adaptation of a very classic game, and in Mei Fang’s 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 Fang’s viewing experience up close, Xia Yuan deliberately had Mei Fang sit in the middle of the sofa while patting Mei Fang’s shoulder and jokingly reminding him.

“This way, you have big sisters protecting you on both sides, Ah Fang. If you’re scared, it’s 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.

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 Fang’s arm, while Lin Youxi placed her hand on Mei Fang’s waist.

“Will this person wake up later?”

“These, these people are so evil. They won’t 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 Yuan’s gaze had been fixed on him the whole time.

“Why are you looking at me? Watch the movie.”

“I-I want to make sure you’re not scared.”

“It’s obviously you who’s 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 Fang’s waist, causing Mei Fang to also scream in pain.

“This movie is so scary! Since everyone is scared, let’s not watch it, okay?”

“I’m not scared.” Mei Fang defended himself.

“You’re not scared? You just screamed so loudly!”

“That’s because Youxi was pinching me so hard!”

“I didn’t!”

Lin Youxi lied with a straight face.

“Let’s not watch it anymore, I’m 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, “We’ve already watched this far, there can’t be much left. How can you sleep without finishing it?”

“I feel the same way…” Lin Youxi’s hand was still on Mei Fang’s waist, but she didn’t exert any more force. “Let’s finish watching it, Yuan Yuan.”

“You’re…right.”

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, don’t talk!”

Mei Fang’s enthusiastic introduction was interrupted, but he didn’t feel offended. Instead, he felt a bit somewhat sentimental.

Being with them, I’ve 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 couldn’t 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.

I’m very lucky to have met them.

“Phew… finally finished watching.”

Xia Yuan stretched and yawned, “In the end, it wasn’t that scary. The final boss didn’t 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 Fang’s excitement was just beginning, “Next, let’s watch Silent Hill. Don’t forget, we still have a bet!”

“Ah… we’re still watching? Ah Fang, I really don’t want to watch anymore, I’m tired.”

Xia Yuan rubbed her eyes and said, “I’m tired and sleepy. I just want to sleep.”

Seeing this, Lin Youxi also nodded in agreement, “Let’s watch it tomorrow, Ah Fang. We’ve already watched two movies today, let’s process what we’ve 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 Fang’s 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 can’t sleep.”

Xia Yuan pinched her nose and looked around, “There’s no air conditioning in your room, it’s hot to sleep at night. Do you want to come to our room?”

“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Mei Fang shook his head. “I’m 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 won’t let you off”.

“Okay, I’ll sleep on the floor.”

Mei Fang couldn’t 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, “Let’s 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 Fang’s 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… don’t go… please don’t go, okay?”

Mei Fang paused for a moment, because he couldn’t 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.
