Rebirth: Growing Up Together

After filling my stomach, my body felt warm. I lit a fire in the kitchen, put a steamer on the stove, and steamed five small multi-grain buns.

Xu Cheng can eat three, but Lin Wanzhou can only eat two.

Taking advantage of this free time, she brushed her teeth and washed her face, then cleaned the glass in the room, printed the paper on it, fixed it with tape, and allowed the outside light to pass through the paper, forming a natural copy table.

"Am I very smart, Xiaobai?"

The girl proudly touched the cat's head, satisfied with the creative ideas of the talented beautiful girl cartoonist Yv.Yu.

"Meow……"

Soon she was so immersed in the world of lines that she was almost unaware of what was happening around her.

"Sbarasi..."

"Eh?"

The sudden sound startled her and she trembled and hunched her shoulders.

If she hadn't seen two familiar figures, she would have swung Xiaobai to hit them.

"When did you guys..."

"You want to ask, when did we arrive?"

Yu Yu nodded.

"Ok!"

Xu Cheng pointed to a certain place and said, "It was probably when you drew here. You look so professional. Do you draw like this now?"

"Yes, yes, he really looks like a professional cartoonist." Lin Wanzhou also said.

Yu Yu blushed and put the manuscript away.

"I, I made some steamed buns for you..."

She ran to the kitchen in small steps and, with her ruthless iron hands, took out five plump steamed buns from the steamer.

When I got back, I saw Xu Cheng holding Xiaobai in both hands, holding it high, with his mouth pouting, sucking hard on its belly.

"Xu..."

Yu Yu wanted to say something but stopped himself.

How to explain?

You can't say... Xiaobai has a part-time job at her house...

While he was thinking, Xu Cheng said something to the cat with disgust on his face.

"Xiaobai, why do you stink?"

Her face got even redder, so red that water seemed to be dripping out.

What nonsense are you talking about!

She gave Xiaobai a bath... and... she also washed his feet...

The creator's imagination is very rich. Yu Yu suddenly imagined that if one day Lin Wanzhou cried and said that she had athlete's foot on her mouth...

Then she is really a very evil fish.

Xu Cheng took a steamed bun from her hand. It was still a little hot when he held it between his fingertips. He quickly switched between his left and right hands and started to eat it in big mouthfuls without any hesitation.

"What are you thinking about?"

"No, nothing..."

"lie."

"what?"

"You're obviously worried. What's wrong? Don't you want us to go to the library with you?"

"No, no!"

Yu Yu waved his hands hurriedly.

"Xiao Yu, your face is so red, are you sick?" Lin Wanzhou asked with concern.

"No, I'm not sick..."

Yu Yu, who was suddenly the focus of attention, blushed even more and quickly changed the subject, "Zhou Zhou, you, you should eat the steamed buns..."

She handed the small iron basin in her hand to Lin Wanzhou.

Lin Wanzhou did not take it, but reached out and touched the soft flesh on her waist.

"Xiao Yu, I never noticed that your waist is so thin."

"Ah... stop, stop making trouble, Zhou Zhou..."

Yu Yu was suddenly attacked and dodged and stepped back a little.

"How much do you weigh now? You're too thin."

"I, I don't know... I don't know how much..."

Lin Wanzhou was very envious of Yu Yu's slim figure. She had already weighed over 80 kilograms in the past few days and was worried about getting fatter.

"Let me see how much thicker I am than you. Let me feel it."

"Woo~"

“It’s really much thinner!”

Lin Wanzhou stretched out her little hand, covered Yu Yu's waist, and measured it inch by inch with her palm. Yu Yu couldn't dodge and her body bent forward and backward.

"Stop, don't do this to me, Zhou Zhou..." She begged for mercy pitifully, her voice almost sounding like tears.

Plus, Xu Cheng was watching from the side, and her face turned red like a small tomato.

Lin Wanzhou was full of envy, "It's really so thin, I'm so envious, I'm going to start losing weight!"

Xu Cheng couldn't bear to watch it.

"Don't be silly, Lin Wanzhou. You only weigh a few pounds. You don't need to lose weight at all. Besides, losing weight at this age will affect your normal development."

Girls are always like this, even though they are not that fat, they suddenly start to lose weight nervously.

"development……"

Lin Wanzhou is very sensitive to this word now.

She looked down at herself, then at Yu Yu, and suddenly she felt a sense of sympathy and a comrade-in-arms.

"Xu Cheng, please go out for a while."

"why?"

"Get out now!"

Lin Wanzhou pushed him out the door and said, "Girls should talk in private, boys shouldn't listen."

Although he was not allowed to listen, Xu Cheng still eavesdropped dishonestly.

The laughter of the young girls, and what else, soybeans, tendon stew, papaya, royal jelly...

"Can I come in?"

"come in."

When he returned to the room, the two girls looked at him with blushing faces.

"What are you doing..."

Xu Cheng picked up another small steamed bun and started eating it. He hadn't had breakfast and was hungry.

"What did you just say?"

Yu Yu turned her head away with a red face, and Lin Wanzhou waved his fist.

"I want you to manage."

"There are still so many steamed buns left, why don't you eat them?"

"how?"

"Are you discussing the steamed buns?"

"Can't bear to eat it?"

Chapter 128: A familiar scene

The three of them took the bus to the city center library, which is the Xinhua Bookstore.

There were only two seats left, so Xu Cheng naturally gave them to the two girls very gentlemanly, and he stood by holding the seat.

Lin Wanzhou thought of something and asked suddenly.

"Yu Yu, have you ever thought about submitting your work to a magazine? You've been drawing for a long time, right?"

Yu Yu thought about it.

"My current level is still very low... and I'm still very young... I'll talk about it when I grow up..."

Xu Cheng held onto the chair and encouraged.

"You don't have to wait until you grow up. Do you remember Zhao Jia, the author of Black Blood? She started serializing her first comic in a magazine when she was 10 years old, and created the masterpiece Black Blood when she was 15. I think you can also try to submit your work."

Yu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Can I try it?

"I really think you can give it a try. Maybe you can earn some money from your work. How can you know if you haven't submitted it yet?"

Xu Cheng had a good grasp of Yu Yu and knew that this girl was a die-hard money-grubber.

Yu Yu really looked conflicted and excited.

"I, let me think about it..."

The car stopped at a traffic light and the three of them fell forward together.

Lin Wanzhou looked at Yu Yu from the side.

"Is Xiaoyu's current dream to be a cartoonist?"

"Well, it's not really a dream..."

"But you want to keep drawing comics, right? Just as a hobby or something?"

Yu Yu nodded, "About the same..."

"You can also say it's a dream. I envy you people who have dreams. Your dream is to be a cartoonist, and Xu Cheng's dream is to buy a house."

Xu Cheng was helpless. Don’t go around promoting my dream of buying a house…

He coughed twice and reminded.

"Lin Wanzhou, don't you have a dream too?"

"Ok?"

Lin Wanzhou looked at him puzzledly.

"Being the best debater, isn't that also your dream?"

“Is this also considered a dream?”

"Why not?"

We arrived at the station in a short while, and the city center was bustling and lively.

Because most children nowadays don’t have mobile phones, if you want to make a date with someone, you either have to go to the other person’s home or agree on a place and time in advance and wait there.

Yu Yu and her team members agreed to meet at the entrance of the bookstore to look up information together.

There were only a few scattered people, and they gathered together in a short while.

Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou both felt uncomfortable, after all, they were not familiar with these people.

Yan Wenwen, who had a mushroom-like hair style, enthusiastically grabbed Yu Yu's hand.
