Rebirth: Growing Up Together

He moved quickly and stepped out of the hotel door.

The rain has stopped.

The number of tourists at the lake is also much smaller than before.

The wind blew softly.

You can see lines of water droplets falling along the eaves.

The vegetation was washed and turned into a soft green color, and the ground was wet and full of puddles.

A thin mist rises from the lake not far away, like curling green smoke, like a fairyland on earth, reminding people of the saying...

"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Xu Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he saw under the tree not far away, the slender Yu Yu was standing on tiptoes and stretching out a hand, as if he wanted to touch the water droplets on the branches and leaves.

The golden light that has seeped out from behind the clouds will add a layer of light yellow fluorescence to the leaves, and the fallen leaves under the trees will also have the same color. This background pattern is like a picture frame, making it look like you are standing alone under the tree. The girl is quiet, calm and touching.

Xu Cheng didn't call her for a long time, as if he couldn't bear to disturb this beautiful scene, but the girl had already caught a glimpse of him.

"Eh!"

As if he had done something stupid and was discovered by his parents, panic flashed in his eyes.

Because I was distracted, my fingers accidentally touched the leaves.

The cool water drops rolled down playfully, along the girl's green fingertips, quickly across her arms and armpits, and ran to the front of her clothes.

"Yeah!"

Because of the coldness, Yu Yu's body trembled instinctively, and he quickly covered his chest with his arms to stop the water droplets from continuing to jump.

The water droplets were quickly absorbed by the small clothes she wore underneath, but the girl immediately realized that she must be very silly dancing alone.

She glanced at Xu Cheng and found that he was indeed looking at her with a smile on his face.

As a result, the shame attribute in my heart grew rapidly.

The girl lowered her head and looked at the ground with an embarrassed face. She squirmed her heels playfully on the ground and tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, hoping that her red face would return to normal quickly.

Xu Cheng was afraid that she would suddenly shrink and slip into the cracks in the ground, so he stopped teasing her about it.

He walked over and suggested, "Yu Yu, now that the rain has stopped, let's go see if we can row a boat at this time."

"Oh, good."

The girl nodded.

Then he suddenly remembered how he let Xu Cheng take the initiative again.

She obviously still thought that she would take the lead today.

Go to the boating ticket office.

Rain in the south of the Yangtze River is nothing unusual here, and boat tickets are still on sale.

The two of them stood in line. Yu Yu turned his head and glanced at the rental price posted in front, and his face suddenly became pale.

She doesn't have that much money anymore.

Renting it for an hour is enough, not to mention that it seems to require a deposit.

Xu Cheng seemed to feel that there was an increase in the dark atmosphere around him. He glanced at Yu Yu, who was obviously wilted, and then looked at the boating price in front of him, and he immediately understood the reason.

"I'm so bored waiting, how about playing a game?"

"Ok?"

The girl looked in his direction, and Xu Cheng spoke.

"Come on, arm wrestle, who loses..."

He thought for a few seconds and said, "Well, whoever loses will get the treat for this boating trip."

"???"

Yu Yu glanced at his thick arms and frowned.

Arm wrestling.

How is she his opponent?

So thick...

I'm afraid that as long as he touches her, she will be driven to the point of death.

Xu Cheng seemed to notice her concerns.

"How about this, I'll use three fingers and you use two arms. Can you give way to me?"

Xu Cheng stretched out the index, middle and ring fingers of his right hand, and Yu Yu looked at them with concern.

Why is this guy's fingers so thick?

But if she can use two arms, she doesn't seem to have no chance of winning against these three fingers.

"……Um."

She nodded.

Both of them put their arms on the guardrail beside them.

Xu Cheng used three fingers, while Yu Yu stretched out two small hands and held him tightly.

Her hands were really small. With ten fingers, she could hold three of Xu Cheng's thick and long fingers.

It was still cool, with a slightly greasy feeling, soft and white, which made Xu Cheng think of the word Rouyi inexplicably.

It originally referred to the first leaf buds of a plant, but was later compared to a woman's hand by the ancients.

When Yu Yu's little hand touched, Xu Cheng suddenly felt that this metaphor from the ancients couldn't be more appropriate.

While her mind was wandering, Xu Cheng's fingers hooked in Yu Yu's hand. The girl thought he had already started, so she started to pull in the opposite direction with all her strength.

Xu Cheng immediately grinned.

"Hiss... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. I haven't even said to start yet, why are you using so much strength?"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Yu Yu bit his lip and let go of his little hand. Looking at Xu Cheng's three blood-congested fingers, he pursed his lips guiltily and blew a few times somewhere.

Xu Cheng could feel the wind coming out of her mouth.

With some orchid-like fragrance, it hits the hand with moist heat, and with some pleasant numbing feeling, the slight pain in the finger disappears in an instant.

"Okay, okay."

He didn't feel embarrassed at this time, "Let's compete quickly, we're almost there."

"Oh."

The girl stroked his fingers again, and with Xu Cheng's "start", Yu Yu used all her strength.

"Ey."

Facing Yu Yu's fierce offensive, Xu Cheng could only hold on for two or three seconds before surrendering.

"call--"

He gasped angrily, "It's too much. I didn't expect you, a girl who looks so petite, to be so strong."

Yu Yu stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and suggested.

"Let me treat you, Xu Cheng... I don't have enough money with me today, how about you buy it first, and I'll pay you back when we get back to school."

"What for? Do you think I can't afford to lose?"

The boy pushed her shoulder and went to the ticket office.

There are many kinds of boats in West Lake. Xu Cheng naturally didn't want to take a boat with other tourists, so there were only two types: electric self-propelled boats and human-operated hand boats.

He thought that since he arrived at the West Lake, he would like the ancients to have some pure natural romance and paddle the oars himself.

He rented a hand-cranked boat and took Yu Yu to the dock.

He also patted his chest and said very confidently.

"Huh, let me show you today how durable I am."

"..."

Yu Yu was dubious.

Putting on the life jacket, Xu Cheng jumped on the boat first, then turned back and extended his hand to Yu Yu who was standing on the pier.

The girl looked at the swaying boat and didn't know where to start. When she saw Xu Cheng's outstretched hand, she took it without thinking.

I thought about jumping up directly with his support.

As a result, Xu Cheng easily picked her up from the dock and placed her firmly on the boat, just like lifting a chicken.

"Safety first," he explained.

After being hugged, Yu Yu was too shy to speak, so he had to sit down on the seat first.

Xu Cheng also sat down.

The two of them happened to be facing each other.

Obviously one person occupied half of the boat, but because Xu Cheng's legs were long and the space on the boat was small, his legs invaded Yu Yu's side and sandwiched her feet between them.

So the two people's feet were placed in the position of "Orange Fish Fish Orange".

Xu Cheng tried shaking the oar a few times, but at first he couldn't figure it out, but then he gradually found a pattern, and the boat started to move and slowly left the dock.

This made him excited.

As a result, his big feet unconsciously tightened around Yu Yu. Yu Yu couldn't pull away, let alone stretch toward him, so he had no choice but to endure it silently.

As the cruise ship started, waves of clear ripples appeared on the nearby lake. Looking at the mountains in the distance, it was not the deep dark green, but a hazy light green.

The water of the lake seems to be moisturized by the rain and becomes more delicate. Walking through the thin mist, breathing the moist and sweet air, even the internal organs feel soothed for a while.

At this moment, Xu Cheng began to feel annoyed that he was not well versed in literature, and could only say one sentence other than "f*ck".

"Wuhu is so beautiful, my family..."

Yu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the golden and red koi fish in the lake, as well as the large green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers. He wanted to reach out and touch them several times.

Of course, most of her attention was actually on the boy in front of her.

The two happened to be facing each other, and it was difficult not to see Xu Cheng. Coupled with the lingering mist, the girl felt as if they were the only two left in the world.

I am lonely and independent, but because of that boy, I don't feel lonely.

"Is that the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon?"

“I guess so…”

It was not good to have no one to guide them. They had to guess all the scenery by themselves, but the two of them enjoyed it.

After rowing for an unknown amount of time, Yu Yu noticed that the speed of the boat seemed to be much slower, and Xu Cheng's paddle frequency also decreased.

Just a word of concern.

"Xu Cheng, can't you row anymore?"

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Xu Cheng kept breathing heavily, and when he heard this, he tried his best to smile, "Where are we now? It's not a problem if I come back for another half hour."

In fact, at this moment, he was just regretting his bravery just now.

You must choose a manual one rather than an electric one.

And women seem to easily see through men's forced pretense.

Yu Yu soon discovered the truth that Xu Cheng was very tired.

"Take a rest first. It's so cold here. If you make yourself too tired, it will be bad for your health..."

"Ok."

Xu Cheng's arm was extremely sore.

He is no longer trying to be brave.
