Rebirth: Growing Up Together

But I just want to feel it, it's definitely not something I can't put down.

Absolutely not!

"After Xiaoshuai went to the front line, he successfully became a trumpeter in the army because he could play the trumpet."

Xu Cheng continued to tell, "The trumpeters have different responsibilities, including operation number, courtesy number, liaison number, service number, etc. Xiaoshuai is responsible for the service number, which is also called the sleeper number."

"On the other hand, after Xiaoshuai left, Xiaomei finally realized that she had already fallen in love with him. After learning that Xiaoshuai went to the front line, she commissioned a local clay sculpture master to make a clay sculpture in her own likeness and sent it to front."

"When Xiaoshuai received Xiaomei's clay sculpture, he immediately understood Xiaomei's intention, and the clay sculpture has never left his body since then."

Lin Wanzhou listened very carefully, and gradually took the love story told by Xu Cheng to heart. In her mind, she imagined the correspondence between Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei, and the scene of them being ecstatic when they saw the news about their lover.

Xu Cheng took a deep breath and tried hard to maintain his condition.

"The war lasted for a long time, and the situation changed quickly. Xiaoshuai's army was at a disadvantage. Finally, after a battle, Xiaoshuai's army was defeated, and Xiaoshuai also died in this battle. Before he died, he Xiaomei’s clay sculpture is placed next to me.”

Lin Wanzhou pouted, "I don't want to hear a bedtime story with a bad ending."

Feeling that her hands were harder, Xu Cheng couldn't help but take a breath.

"Just listen to me."

He swallowed hard and tried to resist the urge to do something.

"After the war, when the enemy generals were cleaning the battlefield, they discovered Xiao Shuai's body."

"He heard Xiaoshuai's love story from the prisoner's mouth and was greatly moved."

"Later, after the war, the general returned to his country. At a dance, he told the story of the sleeper and the clay sculpture to a playwright. The writer was inspired to arrange the story into a musical. And it caught on very quickly.”

Lin Wanchu was surprised, raised his head, and asked in a low voice in Xu Cheng's arms.

"Is there really such a musical?"

Xu Cheng nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"Yes, it really does."

"Why don't I believe it? What's the name of the musical?"

The young man bared his teeth and touched the girl's hair with a hint of pain in his smile.

"Guess." Xu Cheng kept it a secret.

"I didn't know, tell me quickly."

"You, you be gentle." Xu Cheng took another breath.

He didn't want to be forced to reveal it before he even solved the mystery.

"What's it called?"

Lin Wanchu's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Cheng's face curiously.

"Just call..."

Xu Cheng rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"I like mud."

"???"

"I really like you."

"call--"

Lin Wanzhou didn't know how to describe his complicated mood at this second.

It was like a calm lake, and a nuclear bomb was suddenly dropped into it, so much so that she imagined a proud little hen taking off with fluttering wings.

"So you told this story just to say this to me?" Lin Wanchu blinked at Xu Cheng with watery eyes.

"correct."

"laugh."

The girl could roll around in the bed lovingly. During this period, she still controlled her little hands and did not move away, which frightened Xu Cheng.

"Okay, okay, don't move. Now that you've listened to the bedtime story, you can go to sleep."

"Oh."

Lin Wanchu nodded in agreement. He just lowered his head and closed his eyes, then suddenly raised it, looked at his boy playfully, and whispered.

"Xu Cheng, I like you so much."

Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Then can you always like me?"

"Of course." Lin Wanzhou thought for a while and replied, "But I can't prove it to you, and you can't ask me to prove it either."

After saying that, she quickly closed her eyes, fearing that Xu Cheng would ask her to prove something again.

She had just seen it in the video. The girl made everything around her messy. It could be said that it was a mess. It would be too embarrassing for her to prove it like that.

The night was as gentle as water, but the moon was peaceful, occasionally flashing some trembling light.

Not a bad night's rest, not too bad either.

But when Xu Cheng woke up in the morning, he hurriedly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

This made Lin Wanzhou suspicious for a long time.

After the two of them washed up, they went to school together. They walked side by side, from the campus entrance to the teaching downstairs to the corridors, stairs, and classroom entrances.

Lin Wanzhou was very close to Xu Cheng.

When the two walked into the classroom together, she could feel the eyes of the whole classroom looking in the direction of her and Xu Cheng. There was a burst of sighs and comments in the classroom.

But this time, she didn't care at all. The girl even took the initiative to sit on the seat next to Xu Cheng. It was not like sitting next to Deng Zhi like before. The signal was not too obvious.

So in this class, the students in Economics and Management Class 2 were particularly inattentive, and all the major dormitory groups in the class, whether they were boys or girls, exploded.

"Look, look, the squad leader and Lin Wanzhou are sitting together!"

"They entered the school together. I saw them when I was buying breakfast."

"Huh? So these two people are together?"

"Nonsense, even this blind man can see it."

"I'll go, I'm heartbroken, Lin Wanzhou and the squad leader are in love."

"It's your turn to oppose these two talented men and beautiful women, like a monster like you?"

"That's right, and you don't urinate and look after yourself like that. If Lin Wanchu is not with Xu Cheng, there is no way he can be with you."

"Who said Lin Wanwan was eating porridge? I was talking about Xu Cheng."

"Damn it! Don't go back to the dormitory today."

"Shit, move his bed out tonight."

Xu Cheng didn't care too much about the ripples he had caused. He was just playing with the girl's little hand under the desk that had hurt him so much last night.

It's really super small and super soft. The fingers are not only white and tender, but also slender and flexible. I have to say that the fingers of a girl who can play the piano are really beautiful.

Well, losing to such a dexterous little hand is not too embarrassing, right?

"After the last class in the afternoon, come to the dormitory and help me move my things." Lin Wanzhou whispered.

"Okay, okay."

Soon it was afternoon, and the young man didn't pay much attention to the ripples he had caused.

Instead, it was another thing that caught his attention.

Just as I was packing my things downstairs in Lin Wanchu's dormitory, I suddenly saw Liao Dan getting out of a luxury car.

The car was worth a lot of money, with a Mercedes-Benz logo on it, and it looked more domineering than the Volvo driven by Xu Cheng.

The man who was driving the car didn't look too young. He said something to Liao Dan when he got out of the car. Liao Dan's face didn't look very good. He stood there and seemed sad for a long time before turning around.

When he found him and Lin Wanchu, his face was obviously nervous. He looked at each other and then hurried upstairs.

"Let's go." The girl pushed Xu Cheng's back and handed him the luggage.

Xu Cheng dragged the suitcase, and then very domineeringly took the bag from the girl's hand and put it on her shoulders. She squatted down and waved to Lin Wanzhou.

"bring it on?"

"What's coming?"

"Haven't you ever heard of carrying your wife's back?"

"So are you a pig?"

The girl hit him on the arm, and Xu Cheng walked towards the school gate with a smile.

"Xu Cheng, do you feel that Liao Dan is doing something secretive?"

"Never mind her, if something happens, it will come to light one day."

Chapter 416 Crisis

With the chirping of cicadas, the summer solstice arrives.

A magical epic spanning ten years also ushered in its final chapter this summer.

Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the first day of its release.

Even though he had watched it countless times, sitting in front of the big screen, the final magic battle still brought Xu Cheng an incomparable shock and emotion that touched his soul.

And when the screen finally dimmed, sitting on my seat, I felt indescribable sadness and sadness.

Xu Cheng thinks there is a saying that is quite good——

The youth of their generation ended with Harry Potter, just as the youth of subsequent teenagers ended with Marvel.

Youth is over, and in the end, all I can say is that I have no regrets in this life, and then those years are gone and never come back.

So Xu Cheng felt that he was extremely lucky. He had gone through the past ten years again, but he still couldn't face the ending with a calm smile, and was still so excited that tears filled his eyes.

This summer, heavy rains in Jinghai have been frequent, and it seems destined to leave some regrets this summer.

When Xia Yue happily received the notice from Yenching Normal University, before she had time to tell her boyfriend the good news, what was waiting was the notice from Qiao Yiming that they were breaking up.

To everyone's expectation, Xia Yue's performance was very calm. Although she still cried, she was no longer seeking life and death for love. She was not at all like the fragile look that Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou found in the grass in high school.

"People will change. After touching thorns again and again, they will grow defensive scars." On the way home after saying goodbye to Xia Yue, Lin Wanzhou said this to Xu Cheng.

As for Qiao Yiming's reason for breaking up, Xu Cheng had already expected it. After all, when he was in Yanjing, Qiao Yiming had been very close to the girl named Shan Xuechun.

It's just that the ending is a bit ugly.

When Qiao Yiming led Shan Xuechun in front of Xia Yue, the expression on his face was so determined.

However, Lin Wanzhou didn't say anything more about Qiao Yiming.

Even if it is clearly an act of cheating.

Xu Cheng said that half of her shares belong to her. As one of the largest shareholders of the company, she can completely let Qiao Yiming, who cheated on Xia Yue, get out of the company, and instantly change from a senior executive of Qingzhou to nothing.

But she didn't complain to Xu Cheng, nor did she tell Xu Cheng about Qiao Yiming, nor did she even say a bad word about Qiao Yiming in front of Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng knew that this was the respect the girl gave him and the tolerance she left him.

He was also a little sad about Qiao Yiming.

I still remember that in the past, when he had nothing to say, Qiao Yiming joined him with almost a word.

The boy who only saw computers, and even Xu Cheng would praise him as a genius, just worked with him for a seemingly ridiculous ideal.

They used to stay up late in front of the computer, sit in front of the barbecue stall and drink together. From Hapi.com to Weibo, the two young-looking high school teenagers now have beard hair growing on their chins.

For a while, Xu Cheng once felt that Qiao Yiming was his Taoist friend. Unlike Li Qiuyang, they were not only good friends, but also close friends. They could still fight for the same ideal and fight side by side. He could feel the warmth and kindness in each other. his common ideal.

But sadly, he can no longer see such light in this young man.

At Yanjing, Qiao Yiming formed cliques, wooed senior executives within Weibo, eliminated dissidents, tried to squeeze out Gong Zhengxiong in everything, and frequently interfered in management aspects that he was not good at. This can be said to be a split.

Not only that, Xu Cheng even dared to directly take over the projects that were clearly assigned to Gong Zhengxiong. Xu Cheng had already heard a lot of such news from Su Yu.
