Rebirth: Growing Up Together

At noon, the four members of the group did not go to the cafeteria to get food as usual, because He Ying was on vacation today. He told Xu Cheng that she would come to the school to bring him food at noon. Lin Wanzhou smiled and walked towards the school gate with him.

The sunlight was very warm on people's bodies, and the gentle breeze in the afternoon passed by the two of them from time to time, bringing a slight coolness.

Lin Wanzhou said casually, "You are so lucky to eat your mother's cooking every day. I don't know how long it has been since I last ate my mother's cooking."

A few willow catkins floated in Lin Wanzhou's long hair, and Xu Cheng carefully pinched them with his index finger and thumb.

"Isn't your father at home cooking for you?"

"He..." Lin Wanzhou's face was a little helpless, "I don't dare to criticize my father, but the food he cooked is really terrible..."

After saying that, he reminded Xu Cheng, "Don't let him know. I always encourage him at home."

"I know, I know."

Xu Cheng agreed and asked, "How long has it been since Aunt Gao came home? I feel like I haven't seen her for several months."

Lin Wanzhou put his hands behind his back with his fingers clasped together, and walked with small, unsteady steps, looking very childish.

"How could you have seen her? I've only seen her once or twice, and she could only take me out for dinner in a hurry."

"Oh." Xu Cheng agreed, and walked forward with his arms resting on his head. "Then did you cry because you missed your mother?"

Lin Wanzhou reached out her small hand to Xu Cheng's waist and pinched it lightly with her fingernails.

"hiss!"

Being attacked suddenly, Xu Cheng danced around in place for a few times as if he had been electrocuted, feeling very annoyed.

"It hurts so much! Lin Wanzhou, I won't let you eat the food my mom cooks later."

Lin Wanzhou stood there in a daze, her small chest heaving violently.

Xu Cheng realized that she was angry and pulled her arm, but she pushed him away forcefully.

"Okay, I, I won't eat other people's food... My mom, my mom will cook for me..."

The voice became more choked, with a faint tone of crying.

She pushed Xu Cheng away with force, turned around and ran towards the classroom. The moment she turned around, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"porridge!"

Xu Cheng was anxious to chase her, but his mother was still waiting at the school gate. He ran to the school gate in two steps, and He Ying had been waiting there for a long time with a lunch box.

"Xu Cheng, here, here, lunch is prepared for you and Zhou Zhou. Two servings of rice, fried tofu, minced meat and eggplant, and garlic chicken legs..."

Xu Cheng quickly interrupted her chatter, "Mom, I still have a question I can't answer. I'm going back to the classroom to eat first."

"go Go."

"Please be safe on the road."

"Am I that old?"

Amid his mother's muttering, Xu Cheng waved his hand, hurried back to the classroom, and looked around at the door.

Lin Wanzhou was the only one in the classroom. She sat in her seat with her head lowered, looking lost, with round drops of water dripping from her nose from time to time.

All the windows of the classroom were wide open. In the breeze, the glass knocked against the corners of the wall, making a crackling sound.

The white curtains swayed in the wind, brushing over the girl's head.

The mottled light reflected on her from time to time, flickering.

Xu Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, then walked slowly to Guo Zining's seat with the lunch box, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wanted to wipe her tears.

Lin Wanzhou turned her back to him and stubbornly refused to let him wipe it.

Xu Cheng had no choice but to stand up again, put his arms around her as if hugging her head, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't speak well just now."

"Let's eat together. Pan-fried tofu, minced chicken thighs... or something else... I forgot, but you must like it."

"You can also come to our house for dinner in the evening. My mother will definitely welcome you..."

Her forehead was hot, and Xu Cheng was talking softly in her ear.

Lin Wanzhou's breathing in front of him suddenly became heavy, and his warm and soft body trembled.

She rubbed her little head against Xu Cheng's forearm, then hugged his arms tightly with both hands, put her hands in front of her eyes and sobbed.

"I miss my mother... I really want her to cook a meal for me... I haven't eaten for a long time..."

"I...I didn't mean to be mean to you..."

"I was wrong, too." Xu Cheng hugged her a little tighter, "I know you miss her. Since she's too busy to come back, I'll go with you to Yinze County to see her this weekend."

When a girl is sad, she always makes people feel that she becomes childish again.

Lin Wanzhou sniffed, turned around, and looked at him with tearful eyes, her red eyes sparkling.

"But, but Yinze County is very far away..."

"It's okay. It only takes two or three hours to get there by bus. You can take bus No. 2 and transfer to bus No. 13, or bus No. 313 and transfer to bus No. K106. The last stop of bus No. K106 is Yinze County."

"Then...are you really willing to go with me?"

"Hey, when have I ever lied to you about something like this?"

Lin Wanzhou rubbed his eyes and burst into laughter.

Only then did he realize that Xu Cheng had been hugging his head. He lowered his head a little embarrassedly. Xu Cheng immediately realized it and quickly let go of his hand.

Her brown hair jumped in the air and she looked at Xu Cheng's waist.

"Does it still hurt?"

It has been a long time since Xu Cheng saw Zhou Zhou being so gentle to him, and he is still a little uncomfortable with it.

"It only hurt for a moment... Of course, it would be great if you could stop pinching me in the future..."

"Who told you to always bully me..."

"How could I bully you? Ah... I'll feed you a piece of tofu."

"do not want!"

The spring breeze blows through the classroom, bringing warm and harmonious warmth.

At the classroom door, Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining looked at each other, and at the same time, they both stood guarding the classroom door with vigilance on their faces.

This concerns the monitor's confidentiality, prestige, and dignity...

We must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not let down our guard!

Chapter 99: Children should not watch this kind of thing

The weather was warm and had been so for several days.

The sun is shining and the breeze is not dry.

This made the two of them less worried. Every time they planned something, they would always encounter obstacles of one kind or another. They must not let the trip be cancelled because of bad weather.

Lin Wanzhou still blushes when she thinks of what happened that day. It's inexplicable that she acted like that in front of Xu Cheng...

shameful……

But if you think about it carefully, she won't be like that in front of others. In front of others, she is a well-behaved, calm, ladylike, elegant, and serious mature girl.

Is it only in front of him that I can let down all my defenses?

Well... I heard from Guo Zining that there are actually two ways to call childhood sweethearts. One is childhood sweethearts, and the other is growing up together naked in the mud.

Although he didn't remember whether he and Xu Cheng had ever been naked and muddy together, he had changed and washed his wet pants in front of him when he was a child...

She remembered this.

If I think this way, it seems normal to be completely unconcealed in front of him...

Lin Wanzhou came to Xu Cheng's house early in the morning on the weekend. She thought Xu Cheng would stay in bed, but she didn't expect that he had already washed and dressed neatly.

Lin Wanzhou suddenly felt very happy.

He has this thing in his mind...

"You're up so early."

Xu Cheng looked at Xiang Lin Wanzhou. She was dressed very neatly today. Her brown hair fell over a thin light pink coat. She wore a white T-shirt underneath with a few pink letters painted on the chest.

She was wearing a pair of shorts, revealing her beautiful white legs. Her knees were a little pink, and the edges of her white sneakers showed the cute edges of her socks. There were also a few wrinkles at her ankles.

What is striking is that she is carrying a heavy bag on her back.

"Why are you carrying such a big bag?" Xu Cheng asked curiously.

"After all, we are going on a long journey, so I brought two thicker coats that we can both wear on the road. In order to prevent thirst, I brought a water bottle. If I get hungry, I also prepared instant noodles, small biscuits, and boiled eggs... I also brought a mobile phone and a universal charger, in case the phone runs out of power, I can charge it..."

Girls always have to be fully prepared when they go out. The girl showed Xu Cheng the things in her bag like treasures, "By the way, safety is also very important. This is the anti-wolf flashlight my father bought. If you accidentally run into a bad guy on the road, the strong light mode can blind him."

As she spoke, she raised her hand towards Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng subconsciously covered his eyes. When he opened them after a while, he found that the girl was covering her mouth mischievously and laughing, with cunning in her eyes.

"Do you still dare to bully me?"

This girl...

"You brought so many things with you. Don't let your father misunderstand that you and I eloped..."

The girl immediately started punching him with her fists, "What do you mean by eloping? I'll beat you with a flashlight!"

Her little face turned red. How could she say the word "elopement" so casually?

Isn't elopement about sneaking away without telling both sets of parents, and then giving birth to several big fat boys to surprise everyone?

Absolutely not!

She's going to give birth to a girl!

Xu Cheng dodged the attack awkwardly, took the big bag from her hands and put it on his back.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"not yet……"

"Then let's go downstairs and eat something."

The two went to their usual breakfast shop and drank soy milk and tofu pudding as usual. Lin Wanzhou ordered the fried dough sticks that had several fried dough sticks stuck together. She took a bite and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"This is delicious, Xu Cheng, you should try it too."

She used chopsticks to fiddle with it, tore off half of the fried cake, and brought it to Xu Cheng's mouth.

Isn't this the equivalent of feeding...

Xu Cheng took a small bite embarrassedly. It was freshly fried and was indeed fragrant and crispy.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Lin Wanzhou wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and said, "Xu Cheng, do you know the route? I brought a map."

I don’t know why, but Lin Wanzhou, who can be strong and independent, always wants to rely on this boy when she is with him.

Xu Cheng shook his head. "No need. I have already prepared in advance."

He was very familiar with Jinghai's terrain. He knew which bus to take on which route, and it had basically not changed in the past decade.

Because it was the weekend, Xu Cheng was worried that there would be no seats on the bus he was waiting for at the station, as the first bus would take more than an hour, and it would be bad if he had to stand all the way.

Just walk to the bus station, it’s not far away.

I got on the bus at the starting station and found a seat towards the back.

"You sit inside."

Xu Cheng handed the big schoolbag to Lin Wanzhou and asked her to sit by the window and hold it, while he sat near the outside.

With a roar of the engine, the car glass trembled slightly, and the bus started quickly. Lin Wanzhou fluttered her butterfly-like eyelashes, looked at the scenery outside the window, and tilted her head to look at Xu Cheng.

She was full of expectations for this trip, so much so that she was a little excited last night and fell asleep very late...

First of all, this was a secret trip. She did not call her mother in advance to inform her. She wanted to go to Yinze County to give Gao Manman a surprise.

Secondly, it was her first time traveling far away with Xu Cheng.
