Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Xu Cheng, who was suddenly ganked by Maomao, came to his senses and helplessly touched the white stuffed animal that had transformed from a small milk cat into a big cat.

"Nian Gao, do you know how fat you are now? How can you just jump on someone else's belly casually?"

"Meow wow?"

Nian Gao tilted his head and patted Xu Cheng's phone with his tail. Only then did he see that the girl had sent a reply.

Porridge boss: "[Grimace]"

Porridge boss: "I'm going to bed first."

The young man replied hastily.

Jinghai No. 1 said affectionately: "Good night and sweet dreams."

Lying down with one arm as pillow, gently stroking the cat with the other hand, looking at the quiet top of the room.

Nineteen.

Xu Cheng feels that he is so lucky. His life has gone from being an emo person who could die at any time to becoming very meaningful and full.

This fullness does not come from the wealth he created, but from his most precious thing...

From the 6-year-old girl who only relied on herself, to the 19-year-old girl who takes the initiative to share her worries.

All the experiences of the two of them quickly emerged in his mind.

People live just for Lin Wanzhou!

The boy was so happy that he picked up the whole cat, and then, regardless of the cat's refusal to scratch it, he put it on his face and sucked it wildly.

Finally, I hugged the cat contentedly and peacefully and fell asleep.

……

What woke Xu Cheng up the next day was not the first ray of sunshine, but his mother calling him too early.

It was all leftovers from last night, reheated for a while.

Xu Cheng didn't dare to complain. He ate it honestly and it seemed to be very delicious.

After all, I was very dissatisfied yesterday that my first meal when I got home was not at my own home.

He Ying packed Xu Cheng's suitcase and schoolbag. In her opinion, Xu Cheng's clothes were all extremely dirty, so of course she had to take them out and wash them again, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble for her.

Of course, not only was she tidying up, Deputy Director He also searched carefully to see if there were any key items she imagined.

"Mom, don't lose the documents inside me."

"Can I lose it for you? You can lose yourself, but I can't lose it for you."

"..."

After being choked by my mother, Xu Cheng shut up obediently, drank the hot soy milk in small sips, and stopped talking.

He Ying spoke abruptly.

"Xu Cheng, are you and Lin Wanzhu from Aunt Gao's family dating now?"

He Ying's abrupt question almost caused all the soy milk in Xu Cheng's mouth to spurt out.

He showed a rare shy expression.

"Mom, did you ask that? I am such an adult, I will be shy, okay?"

"Look at your potential."

He Ying scolded, but judging from the boy's reaction, he had already guessed a lot.

Sure enough, it was won.

The thoughts and speculations that I had not dared to look forward to for many years finally came to fruition.

Deputy Director He felt as sweet and satisfied as if he had eaten candy, and he couldn't help humming a song.

"The stars are shining, shining..."

"Mom, I'm going out first."

Xu Cheng wiped his mouth, stood up and said.

He Ying became excited again when she heard this, "Go on a date... with Zhou Zhou?"

"Cough cough cough cough."

Xu Cheng seemed to have stumbled while walking, "What's the date? I'm looking for Li Qiuyang."

Li Qiuyang had returned home early for vacation. Last night, the two made an appointment to meet today. As for Qiao Yiming, he said that he was worried about his work at Weibo and would stay in Yanjing for a while without coming back.

Xu Cheng couldn't tell whether this guy was here for work or for something else.

I went out and got on the bus and went to the appointed intersection. Before I even got off the bus, I saw Li Qiuyang standing at the stop sign.

Half a year later, he seemed to be a little slimmer than before. There was no pretense when they met. Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? Why did you come to see me today?"

"Damn, you're a dog, right? Xu Cheng, why are you talking about me like this? Couldn't it be that I want to see you and call you out?"

"Come on, if you have nothing to do, I will leave. I don't have time to waste with a grown man like you."

"..."

Seeing Xu Cheng turn around, Li Qiuyang quickly grabbed him and said, "No, no, no."

"Chang Wei, you also said you don't know martial arts."

Xu Cheng joked, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Li Qiuyang looked embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Can you please let me be more reserved..."

Sometimes boys’ thoughts are actually very vague thoughts, and they are not even aware of them.

Li Qiuyang called Xu Cheng out because he just wanted to chat with him, and then as they chatted, the topic turned to Guo Zining.

He made another insinuation.

Perhaps with the help of Xu Cheng, his relationship with Guo Zining can make some progress?

Because their schools are far apart, Li Qiuyang has never met Guo Zining this semester, and the frequency of contact is not very frequent.

During the National Day holiday, he was fully looking forward to returning home, wondering if the two of them would meet by chance on a street, but what he got was the news that Guo Zining had not returned home at all.

So now he didn't know what Guo Zining was thinking, and he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask a girl out.

That's not good after high school.

No matter what happened before, you could always see her at school.

But once I graduate, if I want to meet her again, except by chance, I always need a way out.

"If Lin Wanzhou and Guo Zining go out to play together someday, can you ask me to go with you to look for them..."

"???"

Xu Cheng looked at him doubtfully, "You won't break up with Guo Zining, right?"

"What breakup?!"

Li Qiuyang was startled. Not only was his fat face flushed with embarrassment, but he also looked around for fear of being overheard.

"I……"

Seeing him stumbling, Xu Cheng suddenly realized something and asked tentatively.

"You're not with Guo Zining yet, are you?"

Li Qiuyang's face didn't know whether he was suppressing his blush or turning red from anger. He sighed quietly.

"It was better in high school..."

"I rely on."

Xu Cheng seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, "Li Qiuyang, you are still making no progress. We were already flirting with each other in high school. Now, don't tell me that you are still flirting with her."

"ambiguous?"

Li Qiuyang had a bitter face. He finally found someone he could talk to and spoke out his true feelings.

"Since I went to college, we have been in less contact. Guo Zining hardly talks to me now. She used to send me messages occasionally, but now the last time she sent me a message was more than a month ago. I, I don't know if she has... Shit."

At the end of the conversation, Li Qiuyang angrily punched the telephone pole next to him.

"Let's go have a barbecue at noon, and I'll drink with you."

"Fuck you, you can only drink drinks. If I drink beer, then I will die."

"Why are there so many fussings? I'll just foot the bill, right?"

"That's pretty much it."

The two of them strolled aimlessly on the street, and Li Qiuyang shook off all the grievances he had suffered throughout the semester.

"Ugh--"

Xu Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Don't read Li Qingzhao when you are young. The most painful thing in life is lovesickness."

Li Qiuyang's ears twitched and he quickly moved closer to Xu Cheng's ears.

"Old Xu, you and Lin Wanzhou are not..."

Xu Cheng glanced at him.

"We're fine."

"..."

"Why do I think you seem a little disappointed?"

"No ah."

Li Qiuyang shook his head and the flesh on his face trembled, "You must have seen it wrong."

Xu Cheng ignored him and digested Li Qiuyang's thoughts.

"So right now, you just want to find a chance to meet Guo Zining, who you miss day and night, right?"

"Anyway... if you say so... then it's like this..."

Li Qiuyang shyly played with his fingers beside him, which made Xu Cheng feel a little uncomfortable and quickly looked away.

"If it's just a one-time meeting, then I've already thought of a way."

Li Qiuyang immediately became excited.

"any solution?"

Xu Cheng said lightly, "It's very simple. First, you take out your phone, second, find Guo Zining's contact information, and finally edit and send the four words 'I want to see you'."

"..."

Li Qiuyang felt like he wanted to hit someone.

"Do you think if I dare to send it to her, I still don't need to come to you?"

"Being timid will only make you miss everything." Xu Cheng looked at him meaningfully.

A few traces of struggle flashed across Li Qiuyang's face, and finally he returned to decadence.

"Okay, okay, I understand the truth, but I just don't dare. What can I do? I don't have too high requirements. Even if I peek at her somewhere, maybe I can satisfy it."

"Peeping? Your idea... well, sounds a bit perverted."

"Do we have to fight today?"

"Okay, okay, just kidding you."

Xu Cheng pushed him away.

"Isn't that easy to achieve? If you go and wait downstairs at her house, I don't believe that she doesn't go out twenty-four hours a day and you can always see her."

"I'm going to her house downstairs... What if we bump into each other and she asks me why I'm here?"

Xu Cheng didn't answer, just called his name lightly.

"Li Qiuyang."
