Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"No, don't drink mine!"

Seeing that the cup had been taken into Xu Cheng's hand, she subconsciously reached out to grab it back from Xu Cheng. During this process, as the distance got closer, her heartbeat became clearly audible, her face became very hot, and her head was filled with the smell of detergent from the sun on Xu Cheng's collar.

She even began to imagine some inexplicable scenes, Prince Xu Cheng pinched Miss Lin Wanzhou's ankles to help her put on crystal shoes, Prince Xu Cheng put his arm around Princess Lin Wanzhou's waist and kissed her deeply...

These messy thoughts could not be dispelled, and a layer of blush appeared on Lin Wanzhou's originally fair face.

I, what's wrong with me?

Chapter 40: Lin Wanzhou's Changes

The square is full of lush greenery, and the warm sunshine makes people feel warm.

Xu Cheng was admiring the pleasant spring scenery and couldn't help yawning due to spring sleepiness. Lin Wanzhou, however, looked absent-minded. Her slender legs were dangling in the air and her two spotless white shoes were tapping the ground in turn.

Weird... why is my chest beating so fast for no reason?

With such doubts, Lin Wanzhou asked, "Xu Cheng, do you have a very special feeling now?"

Xu Cheng half-closed his eyes and glanced at her, not understanding what she meant, "It's a very special feeling..."

"I feel very thirsty, very hot, and very sleepy."

Lin Wanzhou frowned, thinking that what Xu Cheng said was too superficial. She waved her hand and said, "It's not special in this sense. I mean the kind of... um... very special special."

Xu Cheng said thoughtfully, "I am very thirsty, very hot, and very sleepy now."

Lin Wanzhou took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his nameless anger.

Why do I want to punch Xu Cheng so badly?

After the rest, Lin Wanzhou was able to maintain her balance very well this time. Xu Cheng only needed to put his hand on her waist to protect her in case of any emergency.

Lin Wanzhou gradually became familiar with the process. She began to try holding the handlebars with one hand and holding up her hair with the other. She fantasized, "Xu Cheng, I've learned how to ride a bike, too. When we go to junior high school, we can ride to school together!"

Xu Cheng thought for a moment, "Have you ever thought that if you don't learn to ride a bike, I will have to take you to school every day in the future."

“Eh?” Lin Wanzhou reacted and instantly felt like he had lost 100 million. “Then I don’t want to learn anymore!”

"You have already learned it, who else do you want to guide you?"

At this time, several restless boys in the square seemed to have noticed Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng, especially Lin Wanzhou, who had a delicate face.

The heartbeats of childhood always seem so simple. They flew past Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou again and again, just like the will-o'-the-wisp boy who was eager to show his cool driving skills to the beautiful girl, as if as long as he was fast enough, he could attract the attention of that beautiful girl.

There was a guy who was very good at riding the bike. He was considered the most handsome guy among the group of boys. He confidently folded his hands in front of his chest or put them behind his back. In short, he didn't use his hands to control the handlebars at all. He made himself look very handsome, and his short hair was shiny in the sun.

Xu Cheng made up a sentence in his mind, "Brother, do you want to buy a cheat?" and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

You are so brave!

As expected, Courage is the seventh piece of equipment for AD!

Lin Wanzhou was also attracted to it, "Xu Cheng, look at that boy, he's not even controlling the handlebars!"

Xu Cheng nodded, "Yes, you can play like this. I played like this when I still had my front teeth."

"Eh~" Lin Wanzhou felt a pain in her teeth when she heard Xu Cheng's tooth fell out, but she thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. "Xu Cheng, have you ever knocked out a front tooth? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

“When I was studying in Hawaii.”

Lin Wanzhou didn't quite hear the location, and was busy asking with concern, "Is it the upper teeth or the lower teeth? Mom said that the teeth that fall out from the upper teeth should be buried underground, and the teeth that fall out from the lower teeth should be thrown on the roof..."

"oops!"

Lin Wanzhou screamed. She was not very skilled in riding a bike, so it was obvious that she could not do two things at once. She lost balance on the bike and almost fell off. Fortunately, her little feet supported herself on the ground in time.

Xu Cheng's mood went through several ups and downs in these few seconds. He was worried that Lin Wanzhou would fall, but also regretted that Lin Wanzhou didn't fall on him.

Although he is not a gentleman with evil thoughts, he certainly wouldn't mind the clichéd plot of a sweet and soft girl falling on him if it were to happen.

We gentlemen (hen) don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either!

"Lin Wanzhou, why can't you control the direction? Is it because your hands are too small to hold the handlebars?"

"Ah? Now that you put it that way, it seems a bit..."

"Are your hands much smaller than mine? Give me your hand, so we can compare."

"Oh." Lin Wanzhou nodded and stretched out his hand, then flexibly moved around Xu Cheng's palm, and lightly touched his forehead with his slender white index finger.

"What the hell are you planning, Xu Cheng?"

"what?"

Xu Cheng was stunned. "Who are you? Where is my innocent and gullible Lin Wanzhou? Did you download the anti-fraud app?"

"What are you talking about again! You've played tricks on me like this several times!" Lin Wanzhou complained with a slightly red face.

"Eh?"

Lin Wanzhou, who used to love holding hands, has now started to refuse! Is she embarrassed or has she lost love?

"But Xu Cheng, you are always special, unlike other boys..."

"Are you questioning my masculinity? Okay, okay, I admit it. I really can't let go of the handlebars and ride a bicycle."

“No!” Lin Wanzhou looked helpless. She explained loudly, “That’s very dangerous! And it looks so stupid and childish. I don’t want you to try it!”

Just as he finished speaking, several hoarse howls suddenly erupted from not far away.

"Captain! Captain, what's wrong with you? Cheer up!"

"It's just a little grievance! A man should never fall down so easily!"

"Stand up, Captain! We are going to become big shots in Jinghai City together!"

Lin Wanzhou was not affected at all. She looked into Xu Cheng's eyes and spoke seriously.

"Xu Cheng has been different from other boys since he was a child. I have never seen Xu Cheng buy toys. The cabinets in your house are always piled with all kinds of books. Xu Cheng never does childish things. He always gives people a feeling of...being someone you can rely on."

"I didn't know I was so good to you. You weren't just saying it. I couldn't even drink your water just now..."

Lin Wanzhou blinked her big innocent eyes.

"You can't sleep with me..."

"Cough, cough, cough." Xu Cheng choked on his own saliva. "Don't try to get away with it by using puns. I've already made a note of this in my little notebook."

Lin Wanzhou explained with a red face.

"It's not that I don't give you water, I just want Xu Cheng to learn a lesson. Don't be so careless and always rely on others in the future!"

Xu Cheng smiled and didn't say much.

If I were eight years old, I might actually believe it!

In fact, he had already noticed that Lin Wanzhou had been acting very reserved in front of him today. In the past, she would never mind things like holding hands or drinking water.

This girl definitely didn't start to hate him suddenly. If I guessed correctly, the problem was that Lin Wanzhou's thinking began to mature, which was the so-called puberty.

In the stomach-aching love between adolescents, there is always the iron rule that "the more you like someone, the more you have to pretend not to like them."

As the saying goes, being open and generous is friendship, and being cautious is __.

I only become reserved in front of the person I like.

"Ah..." Xu Cheng sighed, "Are we going to become the kind of people who say one thing and mean another, bickering with each other every day like mortal enemies, but actually miss each other's childhood sweethearts in their hearts?"

Chapter 41 Let’s Be Childhood Sweethearts

I had almost learned how to drive a car, and then I played around in the square for a long time.

There are many small stalls selling snacks here, selling sweet and crispy sesame candies, icy and refreshing candied haws, and cotton candies that can turn your face into a little cat...

Unfortunately, no matter how thirsty Xu Cheng said she was, Lin Wanzhou refused to let Xu Cheng use her water cup, so Xu Cheng had no choice but to go to a nearby shop to buy a Coke.

As the sun was setting, Xu Cheng said to Lin Wanzhou, "Call your father and ask him to pick us up. It's already late."

Lin Wanzhou was holding a small windmill in her hand, which was spinning in the breeze. She fluttered her butterfly-like eyelashes and looked at Xu Cheng with hope in her eyes.

"Don't let Dad pick us up. Dad is so annoying. Xu Cheng, why don't you just ride your bike and take me home."

Xu Cheng pouted and said indignantly, "This place is far from the family compound! If I take you back tomorrow, your legs will be broken. If you don't love me, please don't hurt me!"

"Xu Cheng is so petty. He has been holding a grudge about the water cup for so long!" Lin Wanzhou also turned his head to the other side angrily.

A part-time college student who was setting up a stall in the distance set up a speaker, which played Milk Tea Lun's songs one after another. At this time, the song "Can't Open Your Mouth" happened to be playing.

“I just couldn’t open my mouth to let her know.”

"I will definitely take care of you and make you laugh"

……

"us……"

"Then..."

The two of them suddenly turned their heads and spoke at the same time, their eyes meeting. Xu Cheng spoke first, "You go first."

Lin Wanzhou blushed slightly, "Let's compete! The loser will listen to the winner."

Xu Cheng nodded, "Okay, what do you want to compete in?"

so close!

He was originally prepared to surrender and say, "Then I'll take you back on my bike," but he didn't expect that there was still room for maneuver.

"Let's guess the song. This one's over with 'Can't Open Your Mouth'. Let's see who can guess what the next song is first!!"

Xu Cheng agreed immediately, "Then let me guess. I grew up listening to his songs."

“Tsk, who isn’t?” Lin Wanzhou clenched his fists and went over all of Milk Tea Lun’s songs in his mind.

Sparks flew wildly between the two people.

"A copper coin in the square, sadness is very secret..."

As soon as the prelude sounded, Xu Cheng's DNA moved and he spoke confidently.

“I’m very familiar with this song.”

Lin Wanzhou frowned, her lips turned pale. Xu Cheng glanced at her, sighed, and pretended to be lost in thought.

"call."

"So familiar... I can't even say it..."

Lin Wanzhou was thinking to herself. She opened her mouth slightly and hummed a few lines along with the song, "Da da da da da da... I remember it!"

She jumped up with full energy, "I'm sorry!"

"Oh! Yes, so annoying. Why didn't I hear it?" Xu Cheng seemed to suddenly realize something and scratched his scalp in annoyance.

"whee……"

Lin Wanzhou put her hands on her waist with pride.

"Xu Cheng, you lose, you have to ride your bike to take me home!"

"Got it~"

Lin Wanzhou sat happily in the back seat, tiptoeing to hook Xu Cheng's calf.

"Xu Cheng, you're a fake fan, you can't even tell that!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

The spring breeze is gentle, the shadows of the trees are slender, and the asphalt road is shining with golden light under the afterglow of the setting sun.

The shadows of the boys and girls on the bicycles were also stretched very long.

Lin Wanzhou imitated the heroines in idol dramas and sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle. Normally when her mother took her, she was not allowed to sit like this.

Xu Cheng pedaled the bike vigorously, "Lin Wanzhou, if you don't hold me, aren't you afraid of falling off?"

“No, no need…” Lin Wanzhou blushed slightly, “I don’t think it will fall.”

"Because this is my first time riding a bike with someone else, I'm worried that the bike will shake and you'll fall off." Xu Cheng said this righteously. This was indeed the first time he had been with someone after his rebirth.
