Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"Correct."

"Amazing!"

Yu Yu looked at Xu Cheng with admiration.

"I feel like you can break the world record... I'm afraid the limit for humans is only 2,000 words, right?"

"That's about right. My readers all advise me to take care of my health."

Chapter 142: Fear is only due to insufficient firepower

"Xu Cheng, you are so amazing..."

Yu Yu looked at him with admiration.

I didn’t expect that Xu Cheng already has readers, but she is still having her manuscripts rejected.

"You must be very happy to have readers, right?"

"Ahahaha, it's okay."

Xu Cheng felt embarrassed by what she said and scratched his scalp awkwardly.

In fact, what he said about writing a book was just for his own amusement, and he didn't even succeed in signing a contract with the website.

As for the readers, he just joined a group of failed authors, and the group was full of garbage who couldn't sign a contract.

They would leave comments under each other's books with nice words like "fast farming, sleepless nights" and "platinum appearance" to satisfy each other's vanity.

"Xu, Xu Cheng, how can you attract others to read your work?"

Yu Yu asked Xu Cheng with a serious look in his eyes, "If my work is attractive enough, it will definitely not be rejected."

"Uh……"

Xu Cheng was speechless.

How could he have the nerve to instruct her as an experienced artist? He himself had never successfully submitted a manuscript.

However, he is also a reader and likes to read comics, so he helped Yu Yu analyze the story from a reader's perspective.

First of all, of course, we must rule out the red line of being naughty, which cannot be crossed.

"Let me think... I think the story must be rich enough and the characters interesting enough, so that readers can see the effort you put into your work from these places."

"This is a work you created with all your heart, everyone will definitely support it, and besides..."

He looked at Yu Yu hesitantly, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Also... Yu Yu... you don't seem to like what you are drawing now, the Calabash Brothers vs. Sun Wukong."

"Eh?"

Yu Yu’s eyes widened.

Did this guy Xu Cheng eavesdrop on her thoughts?

Why do you even know this!

“I think that for a work, at least the creator must like it, and then the readers will like it. If even you don’t like it, then the creation process becomes a torture for yourself, and in the end it will consume your interest in painting.”

Yu Yu lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes, and her little hands began to pull up the edge of her white socks.

"Don't let your imagination run wild for now."

Xu Cheng stood up with his body hunched.

"Let's first look around to see if there's a wall that's lower so we can climb out of the school."

"Oh, okay..."

The two of them searched in the dark on campus.

However, No. 3 Middle School is indeed a good school, and its precautions in this regard are particularly strict. The walls are either covered with barbed wire or broken glass is built into the top of the wall.

With their skills, they couldn't climb over these walls.

You don’t have the ability to know.

Yu Yu felt anxious and wanted to cry.

"It's too late. If I don't go home, my mother-in-law will worry about me..."

Xu Cheng didn't have the concerns that his parents had, since he lived alone anyway, but he thought about it carefully.

If Yu Yu's mother-in-law can't find her, she might contact her parents to ask if she is at their house. By then, Xu Jianghe and He Ying will find that he is not at home either.

it's over...

If people thought they eloped, it would be hard to explain.

Xu Cheng squatted down and thought carefully for a while.

"The power should be on in the teacher's office. Let's try to see if we can get in. If we can find a cell phone charger in there and charge my phone, we can call someone to let us out."

Yu Yu bit her lips lightly.

"You mean... go inside the teaching building..."

"correct."

"But……"

Yu Yu was very reluctant in his heart. The teaching building was dark and looked just like a building in a horror movie. He had to go in at this time...

please do not.

Xu Cheng walked a few steps towards the teaching building and found that Yu Yu was still standing there, holding the corner of his clothes.

"Why are you still staying there?"

Yu Yu then realized that he had gone far away, and hurriedly ran towards him in small steps.

Xu Cheng looked at her reaction and guessed something.

"Are you scared?"

Yu Yu lowered his head and said nothing.

"If you don't want to go, I can go there by myself."

"Don't……"

Yu Yu was extremely anxious.

Leave her here alone?

That's even more scary...

She also knew that Xu Cheng's idea was right. She couldn't just stay here and do nothing. She was just particularly scared...

After hesitating for a long time, she clenched her fists, bit her lips lightly and made a decision.

"I'm not afraid... I'll go with you..."

And said he was not afraid...

The words "scared to death" are almost written on his face.

It was darker inside the teaching building than the campus. When turning a blind corner, it was pitch dark.

Yu Yu followed Xu Cheng closely, feeling the hairs on his body standing up. His little hands always wanted to pull Xu Cheng, fearing that he would disappear as soon as they met.

"If you are really scared, you can hold on to my clothes."

Yu Yu was a little hesitant at first, but then he heard a sound like marbles falling to the ground from somewhere.

She shuddered all over and grabbed the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes tightly. Xu Cheng felt that his collar was about to be torn off.

"Be gentle...you're strangling me..."

"Oh... yeah, I'm sorry."

Xu Cheng straightened his collar and coughed a few times.

Yu Yu looked around with a worried look on his face.

"What was that sound just now..."

"I don't know. This is how it is in the building. It's made of reinforced concrete. In the summer, there are always some strange noises at night due to thermal expansion and contraction. Don't be too scared."

Xu Cheng used to live on the top floor and often heard the sound of high heels walking upstairs in the middle of the night, as well as the noise of something falling. Later, he roughly understood the reason and was no longer afraid.

"so……"

After hearing Xu Cheng's explanation, Yu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no open office doors on the first and second floors, and they couldn't climb in, so the two went up to the third floor.

At the corner of the stairs, Xu Cheng saw a broom leaning against the wall. He picked it up and handed it to Yu Yu.

"Any source of fear is simply due to lack of firepower, take this."

???

Yu Yu held the broom tightly in both hands, like a little white rabbit holding a carrot to hit someone.

It looked so cute that Xu Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't, don't laugh at me..."

Yu Yu's face turned red with shame, but he didn't dare to let go of the weapon.

Looking at Xu Cheng laughing, I really want to let him taste the power of the big sword.

but……

Having the weapon in hand, I felt much more at ease.

Going up to the 4th floor, they found an office door that was ajar but not locked. They pushed the door open, turned on the light, and the view finally became bright.

saved!

Yu Yu's nose twitched and he tried hard to suppress the urge to jump up and cheer.

Fortunately, they found a universal charger in the office and charged the battery. After making a phone call, someone came to open the door soon. Xu Jianghe even drove over to pick them up.

The two people finally walked out of the locked campus.

After opening the car door, Yu Yu sat in the back seat.

Looking out the car window, the dark campus gradually faded away, and she began to understand Xu Cheng's strange words before.

Summer night, campus, the boy next to me.

Such a scene is indeed worth remembering...

Chapter 143: Am I going to witness a kiss?

The normal start time for the third grade of junior high school has been moved forward a little.

Lin Wanzhou also hurried back from her grandmother's house by plane.

After not seeing each other for a summer vacation, everyone seemed to have endless things to say to each other, and the classroom was bustling.

Lin Wanzhou shared with everyone the gift she brought, which was a specialty from her grandmother's side, lotus root candy. It was crispy and sweet, and when you bit it open, there were tiny holes in the middle, just like a broken lotus root.

Xu Cheng sat with his body turned around, just like he did during the group discussion.

"Lin Wanzhou, why are you..."

“I came back by plane!”

Lin Wanzhou excitedly took out her cell phone and showed him the photos she had taken.

“Look, I took a lot of nice pictures.”

Xu Cheng forgot what he wanted to ask her and just took the book in his hand and started reading.

Lin Wanzhou stared at her phone, afraid that Xu Cheng would turn to the private photos behind her, and she muttered softly.
