Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Xu Cheng and Li Qiuyang followed behind, watching the two girls in front talking and laughing. It seemed that girls always liked to stick close to each other, and they would stick close to each other when they walked.

Boys won't do that. Even if they do weird moves like suddenly stopping and shooting while walking, they will never get close to other boys.

Li Qiuyang crossed his arms across his chest.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy is great to watch, but a true man should watch Bright Sword."

Xu Cheng then recalled that the drama "Bright Sword" was being broadcast these days. "Which episode is it on?"

"Let me think about it. What I saw last night was Xiuqin being arrested, and Li Yunlong gathering troops to attack Ping'an County."

"Oh, isn't it the one about the second battalion commander, your fucking Italian cannon?"

"Yeah, yeah, you can still remember your lines."

"This episode is a turning point in World War II. We must remember it."

"Ah?" Li Qiuyang didn't understand what to say.

Boys talk very little and are very frank when they speak, but girls are different. They always like to whisper in a low voice, which makes Xu Cheng always hold his breath to eavesdrop on what they are saying.

"Chengzi, look, let me teach you how to walk like Guo Zining."

Because Guo Zining has a plump figure, when he walks, his waist and hips twist slightly.

In the eyes of the experienced driver, it was naturally very exciting, but in the eyes of Li Qiuyang, it was a particularly funny thing.

"What's there to learn, silly boy? Aren't you and Guo Zining going the same way? It's so late, remember to send her off."

"Okay... okay, for your sake, I'll see her off."

At the fork in the road, the four people waved goodbye.

Half of the sky darkened, presenting a dreamy blue and purple starry sky, and the lonely sunset glow burned the end of the road.

Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou were riding their bicycles on the road.

Lin Wanzhou was on the inside of the road, and Xu Cheng was on the outside. Their cars were sometimes close to each other, sometimes far away, as if they were close yet not close enough.

"Lin Wanzhou, why do you suddenly want to debate?"

"Why... um..." Lin Wanzhou seemed to be lost in thought.

The girl's hair fluttered slightly in the autumn wind. She looked very beautiful while riding the bicycle, her legs were sometimes relaxed and sometimes tense. The area near her ankles between her shoes and her cropped pants was the most attractive. The edge of her small white socks could only cover half of her, revealing her delicate and fair skin.

She took a few deep breaths, mustered up her courage, and spoke in a low voice.

"Because of this matter..."

"Are Thai pants really hot?"

"What? Don't interrupt me..."

Lin Wanzhou held the handlebars with one hand, controlling the bike to move closer to Xu Cheng, and raised his other hand to pat his arm.

"Stop it, stop it. It's very dangerous. I'll let you do it again when we get home."

Lin Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, secretly glanced at Xu Cheng out of the corner of his eye, and then quickly looked away.

It's as if I want to go back to the same home with her...

"So what happened to this?"

"No more."

"Please don't stop talking. It's the most uncomfortable to finish a sentence halfway..."

"Guess for yourself."

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she pedaled faster with her little feet, and suddenly she moved a long way forward.

Too lazy to pay attention to Xu Cheng anymore, he just hummed a song softly.

Sunset, parasol trees, asphalt roads, evening breeze, and the fool chasing behind me...

It’s all because of this matter.

I can do it with you.

……

The school competition started soon. Everyone was a novice with no competition experience. It was called a debate, but in fact it was just cheating.

"My opponent, I found this definition in a dictionary."

"That dictionary of yours is a pirated copy!"

"My opponent, don't you know that raising children will provide for your old age?"

"Am I raising you just to take care of you in your old age?"

"My opponent, I don't have any more questions. Please ask a question!"

"Okay! My question is..."

"You can't ask counter-questions! You broke the rules, you lose. Judges, we won, the game can end now."

After seeing their amazing moves, the four of them suddenly felt that the team name "Black Fertilizer" was not so shameless after all.

Unfortunately, they met seniors from the third year of junior high school in the first round.

It was all thanks to Xu Cheng, a half-baked guy who managed three people at once, and his brilliant speech summary that added a lot of points and helped us win by a narrow margin.

Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng were not in a hurry to leave. They sat down and watched Yu Yu's game. She was actually sitting in the first debater's seat.

Although his personality affected his speech and he was halting and he didn't dare to look at people, he wrote a very beautiful argument and won the battle smoothly.

After lunch, the two went to the library to rest.

Lin Wanzhou put his feet on the horizontal bar under the table, his knees slightly bent, his elbows resting on them, his little head held in his hands, and muttered softly.

"Yu Yu is amazing. It seems that after hearing her arguments, the other party doesn't know what to say anymore."

Xu Cheng took a nap on the table, and turned half of his face to the side when he heard the words, "The angle of the argument is very good, and it will be easy for the people behind to fight."

Lin Wanzhou seemed to be thinking about something. "Well... our next round of opponents and debate topics have been distributed."

"Who?"

"Not very lucky. We're in the third year of junior high school, and we're the team with the highest score in the previous game..."

Xu Cheng was a little speechless. Why did he encounter only big monsters at the beginning?

"If we still perform at this level in the next game, we will most likely not win. Besides, the monthly exam is getting closer and closer. We may not have time to prepare materials if we are busy reviewing. Xu Cheng, if you think it is a waste of time, I will go and tell Aning and Li Qiuyang that we will apply for a waiver."

Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng calmly. She knew Xu Cheng worked very hard in his studies, and now the three of them were like a burden. If they couldn't win, at least they shouldn't delay Xu Cheng's exam.

She said it was calm, but in fact her heart was in a knot. She was afraid to hear Xu Cheng say "Don't waste time". She might be even sadder than if she lost.

Xu Cheng slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Why should we give up? We chose our team name, did practice, and searched for information. We finally made it through the first round. Of course, we have to keep going."

Lin Wanzhou exhaled slowly, trying her best not to let the boy next to her notice her nervousness, and her heart also became warm.

"What are you standing there for? Let's get ready for the next round of debate."

"Well……"

Lin Wanzhou took a sip of water and said, "The topic of the next round of debate is - can middle school students fall in love? We are on the affirmative side."

Xu Cheng blinked.

Disadvantageous topic... add a more difficult opponent...

"Have you found the direction for your argument?"

"not yet……"

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Wanzhou's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"I was thinking, in order to write a better argument, should I look for some inspiration?"

"Xu Cheng... do you want to simulate a love relationship with me..."

"After all, we got a debate topic like this..."

"If you don't experience it yourself and just rely on imaginary things, your argument will be empty and powerless..."

After Lin Wanzhou finished speaking, he turned around and drank water from the cup in small sips.

The water was not hot at all, but warm. Normally, she could drink it all in one gulp.

But she didn't want to do that now. After all, at such an embarrassing moment, she couldn't think of any other way to hide her helplessness except drinking water.

Just like when I feel uncomfortable, I will subconsciously take out my phone and scroll through it, without knowing what I am scrolling through, as if I have a hundred messages to reply to.

Xu Cheng would not misunderstand Lin Wanzhou's meaning. He understood her. This girl was very serious about everything she was going to do.

Faced with such a naturally disadvantageous debate topic, if even your own opinions are nonsense and imaginary, then there is really no need to fight.

"Ok."

Xu Cheng crossed his hands and rested them on his chin. "Just from now until school is over in the afternoon, let's just experience it briefly."

"Oh……"

Lin Wanzhou agreed, then turned his head to look out the window and said no more.

Silence fell between the two of them, and the only sound was the occasional sound of people walking back and forth in the library and the chirping of sparrows outside the window.

The girl's mind was a little confused. She hadn't found a reason to fall in love, but she had found a reason why she shouldn't fall in love.

I'll be embarrassed to talk to him!

Xu Cheng stretched lazily, "So what should we do now... We only have one afternoon, if you continue to sit like this, all your time will be wasted..."

Lin Wanzhou turned around with a red face, "I, I think, should we make a plan?"

Xu Cheng nodded, "Okay, it's better than sitting here and wasting time."

Lin Wanzhou opened her exquisite notebook, took off the pen cap, and poked Xu Cheng's arm with the capped end of the pen.

"Let's make a to-do list together, write down all the things that couples do, and then we can experience them one by one."

After all, Lin Wanzhou is just a simple junior high school student. Even when it comes to love, he thinks of copying the designated study plan.

Her idea was simple. If she made a love plan in the same way as she made a study plan, she would definitely be able to experience an efficient love life!

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little excited.

"Can we do anything that's written down?"

Seeing his naughty look, Lin Wanzhou raised her elbow and knocked on his head with the cap of her pen.

"Don't think of anything weird! It can only be written down if both of us agree!"

Xu Cheng didn't expect any benefits such as kisses or hugs.

"Can you do my homework for me?"

"Stop dreaming, do your own homework!"

She directly rejected Xu Cheng's suggestion, and then wrote a few points on it in a domineering manner.

"Memorize words together, go home together, do homework together, and explain questions that you can't do to each other..."

The most daring one is: "Help each other pack their school bags."

"What's the point of this..."

"Why is it boring? Isn't this something couples do?"

"Any ordinary friend can do something like this, right? And you wrote it without even asking for my opinion?"

"Don't ask anymore. Your head must be full of messed up bad ideas."

Xu Cheng cried out that he was wronged. What I think is definitely very green. Okay, your brain is like that, and everything will look like that.

"What you wrote is not good at all. We do homework together, memorize words together... We do this kind of thing every day."

Lin Wanzhou blinked her eyes, strongly disagreeing with his statement. Isn't this equivalent to saying to her: Lin Wanzhou, we were in love every day before~
