Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Page 58

“5……4……3……2……1……”

They counted together.

At 1, Lin Wanzhou suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

Her voice was unnatural.

"This is a New Year's gift... a hug of friendship..."

"Thank you for always being by my side..."

Xu Cheng, who just reacted, felt his face a little hot. He crossed his arms awkwardly and put his hands behind her back.

This feeling was different from the last time Lin Wanzhou threw him down and hugged him.

"Xu Cheng."

"Ok?"

"I'll tell you a secret..."

"You say it."

Lin Wanzhou leaned her head on his shoulder and muttered embarrassedly.

"In fact, in my heart... you have always been very powerful..."

Xu Cheng was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Oh."

Chapter 90 Because the wind is stronger

The surroundings were still quiet and deserted, and in the distant inky sky, gorgeous night-blooming cereus occasionally bloomed.

How much time had passed? Perhaps a moment, perhaps a long time, anyway, Lin Wanzhou had no intention of letting go.

Although Xu Cheng and her had hugged each other several times before, this was the first time in his memory that they had a real hug.

Perhaps everything happened too suddenly and the little girl was too scared.

I really want to open my heart and find a safe haven for my uneasy soul.

Fortunately, that safe haven is Xu Cheng's arms.

"In fact, in my heart... you have always been very powerful..."

Xu Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

In other words, until now, have I always been the person she can rely on in her eyes?

There seemed to be something in my chest, beating quietly yet violently.

Even the strength in my arms involuntarily increased slightly.

Lin Wanzhou closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the moment, and couldn't help but hum.

"Xu Cheng, why are you hugging me so tightly..."

Xu Cheng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "The wind is a bit strong. I'm afraid you'll feel cold."

"Is that so..."

Lin Wanzhou was half-believing and half-doubting, but he hugged her a little tighter with his arms.

Hugging each other tightly, they can clearly feel each other's heart beating...

No one was willing to let go first. They didn't know when would be the next time they could hug each other so frankly as childhood sweethearts.

After hugging for too long, Lin Wanzhou felt shy, but she didn't want to get out of Xu Cheng's arms like that, so she made a suggestion in a soft voice.

"Xu Cheng, can you sing a song for me? Then we'll let go..."

Lu Xun said that the Chinese people always like to compromise.

For example, if you say that the room is too dark and a window must be opened here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the window.

For example, now, after this adjustment, the girl can enjoy this hug calmly again.

Enjoy the strange feeling of being hugged tightly, your skin being stretched tight, your blood being compressed tightly, and your body about to melt into the boy's arms.

Sing a song?

Xu Cheng asked somewhat evilly.

"Have you ever heard of the King of Love Songs?"

The King of Love Song lasts 12 minutes, and later Mao Buyi wrote another song called Little Wang's Diary which lasts more than minutes, but he can't sing that one anymore.

"Whatever you want to sing..."

Lin Wanzhou rubbed her cheek against Xu Cheng's shoulder again.

In the end, Xu Cheng didn't sing that song. Instead, he hummed another song in a not-so-standard voice.

"the brightest star in the night sky"

"Can you hear me clearly?"

"The loneliness and sigh in the heart of the person looking up"

Xu Cheng's singing is not that good, so the song sounds weird.

But the tone-deaf voice seemed to capture the heart, with a softness and tenderness that made people's hearts tremble.

"I pray to have a transparent heart"

"And eyes that shed tears"

"Give me the courage to believe again"

"Crossing the lies to hug you"

"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence"

"Whenever I get lost in the night"

"the brightest star in the night sky"

"Please light my way forward"

Xu Cheng sang very hard, and Lin Wanzhou could even feel the vibrations in his chest, like a small motorcycle engine.

"Have you finished singing yet..."

"It's over... How was the singing..."

"Hehe, I won't attack you."

Xu Cheng suddenly began to regret. If he had known that this song would not be sung well... he should have sung "King of Love Songs" or repeated the chorus three or four times, at least to make the song longer.

You only regret how short it is when you need it!

Perhaps it was because they hugged each other for too long, so the moment they let go, they both shivered at the same time because of the coldness in their arms.

Lin Wanzhou looked aside sheepishly, afraid that she would not be able to control herself and hug him back again.

The stars and street lights were dim, and in the illusion, it seemed as if there were fireflies surrounding me.

"Xu Cheng is such a dwarf..."

"??? We are about the same."

"I just gestured and you're not as tall as me."

gan...

A boy who is insulted about his height becomes as anxious as a puppy whose tail is stepped on.

"You've only surpassed me recently! And isn't that because you girls develop faster?"

"Tsk, anyway, when I get married in the future I must marry a guy who is much taller than me, so that when we hug each other, I can rest my hands on his chest."

She patted Xu Cheng's head and said, "So try to grow taller quickly~"

What chest muscles did I train for you to lean on?

I was caught off guard and the intensity was increased.

He immediately retorted, "Why are you urging me to grow taller? Are you planning to have me marry you when I grow up?"

Lin Wanzhou blushed, and the two began to play around. Xu Cheng glanced at his watch.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly, otherwise my mother will be worried."

"Oh……"

There was still some reluctance in Lin Wanzhou's voice. Looking at the place where the two had just hugged each other, her eyes were full of gleams.

"Thank you...Xu Cheng..."

"Why do you keep saying thank you for no apparent reason today?"

"Well... because you accompanied me out this time, I feel like my mood has improved a lot..." Lin Wanzhou said in a low voice as if he was talking in a dream.

"Then I'll accept your thanks."

"By the way, Xu Cheng, I haven't heard the song you sang before. What's the name of it? The lyrics are very beautiful."

"I don't know. I heard my cousin sing it before. Maybe he or his friend wrote it..."

Xu Cheng answered guiltily.

Lin Wanzhou nodded thoughtfully, then raised his eyebrows, "Well, let's see who can run back home first!"

"Boring, the road is so slippery, are you going to fall again..."

"It's not very slippery now, is it? Um... the one who runs slowly should wash the feet of the one who runs fast!"

She trotted out, but Xu Cheng, resting his head on his arms, walked leisurely behind her.

Tsk, as long as it’s not an unreasonable request like drinking the foot washing water, it’s just washing feet...it doesn’t seem to matter even if I lose.

When I got home, it was dark and quiet.

To Xu Cheng's surprise, He Ying still hadn't come back. It seemed that even for adults like them, dealing with such things was a headache.

Lin Wanzhou didn't keep her word. She said the loser would wash the winner's feet. But when Xu Cheng prepared the footbath water, she didn't want it anymore. She pushed Xu Cheng out and locked the bedroom door.

"Don't come in, I want to sleep."

"It's obviously my bedroom! Why can't I go in?"

Xu Cheng slammed the door, and in the end he could only look at his bedroom helplessly and sigh.

It has become her shape...

After washing up, he lay on the camp bed in the study, not thinking about planes or the airport.

Recalling what happened today... I still feel a little excited...

But speaking of it...

Although it seems ordinary on the surface.

But Zhou Zhou...is not a child anymore after all...

Laughing like a pervert on the bed.

After thinking about all this, he began to hug the quilt again, thinking seriously about how to deal with the matter of Lin Wanzhou's father.

Half asleep and half awake, an idea suddenly came to my mind...
