Rebirth: Growing Up Together

She agreed with this statement very much, as her childhood dream was to grow up quickly and marry Xu Cheng. Now she realized that the dream of growing up quickly was not a good thing at all.

"As for the industry I want to work in..."

Xu Cheng thought for a few seconds, "Maybe it's a bit too much. Sometimes I want to be a school worker, sometimes a school team coach, a lawyer, a masseur, a repairman, a courier... Oh, and a teacher. To be a teacher, I must get to the level of a dean of studies."

“It’s indeed a lot…”

Lin Wanzhou tilted her head and looked at him. "Your dreams sound so simple, and it can be seen that you seem to like developing your career on campus."

"After all, schools are like ivory towers. They are beautiful and there are many children. Working here makes me feel like I will never grow old." Xu Cheng answered without blushing.

When I reached the corner of the stairs, the bright white lights were still on.

Xu Cheng now has long legs and big steps, so when there are only three steps left, he can jump down easily.

Lin Wanzhou walked down slowly, taking small steps like a lady.

"You're already in the third year of junior high school and you're still so childish. Don't worry about getting older."

Xu Cheng patted her head, and the girl just blushed but didn't hit him.

"To be honest, all those thoughts I had just now were just spur-of-the-moment ideas. When I grow up, I still want to do something of my own." Xu Cheng began to get serious.

"Eh? I had the same idea!"

Lin Wanzhou was so excited that he seemed to have discovered some common quirk between the two of them.

But why did this annoying guy suddenly grow so tall? I have to look up to see him all the time, and my neck is so tired.

"I still plan to do things for myself. Whether I succeed or fail, I will feel it is worth it. Anyway, I don't want to work for others for even one more day..."

"I support you! Xu Cheng, you are very talented! You have been selling things since kindergarten, and later you built a website and sold stockings..."

"They are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning."

He was a little embarrassed to be praised by Lin Wanzhou, but Xu Cheng really enjoyed the feeling of hearing her praise, hearing her say: "Xu Cheng you are great", "Xu Cheng you are so capable", "Xu Cheng I can't stand it"...

Feeling proud, he started to talk more. "Those were just attempts to train myself. If I can't become an outstanding person in the future, I'll feel very sorry. Now I have created a SNS website. Although no venture capitalists have taken a fancy to me yet, I am very optimistic about myself..."

Lin Wanzhou listened carefully to every word he said, with her two little hands behind her waist and her index and middle fingers clasped together.

She really liked the feeling of listening to Xu Cheng talk about his future. Even though he talked about some unfamiliar words that she didn't understand, she was very interested.

Although they are still in this small campus.

But it seemed as if she had spent all those long years with him...

Chapter 154 I will cherish the thoughts you give me

"how about you?"

Xu Cheng looked at her beside him, "Didn't you just say that you had something you wanted to do?"

"Me? Compared to you...it seems a little insignificant." Lin Wanzhou said coyly.

"As for me, I want to open a shop in a busy city. I will sell coffee on the first floor, read books on the second floor, and have my own small space on the third floor. In this way, in my spare time, I can sit by the window and read quietly with a cup of fragrant coffee on the table. I can also keep a cat. It may rain outside, or it may not, but it will be very comfortable. I don't need to make too much money, as long as I can maintain my expenses..."

When she said these words, her eyes were full of little stars, as if she was telling a princess's dream.

But Xu Cheng listened carefully, "Why would you open a store like this in a busy downtown area?"

"If it's too quiet, I'll be scared to be alone in such a big store, but if it's lively around me, I won't feel lonely."

"so……"

Xu Cheng asked a few more details very seriously, and Lin Wanzhou answered him patiently.

She feels very happy this way. When you tell her about your dreams, he won't laugh at you, won't belittle you, won't think it's unrealistic... he will listen very seriously.

They could see from a distance that their class was the next one, so they jogged back and took a precious photo together.

The admission ticket was sent out quickly. There was no class that morning, so time was left for everyone. The memory of junior high school should not be just an exam, so confess when you should confess, take revenge when you should take revenge, cry when you should cry, and laugh when you should laugh.

Lin Wanzhou wanted to write a graduation message to Xu Cheng, but he didn't buy the yearbook. In order to prevent a repeat of the social failure he experienced in elementary school, he took out his student card and pointed to the back.

"Write here."

Brother Qiang pushed the door and entered the classroom. He sat down on the podium very casually and encouraged everyone with a few words. At this moment, he no longer looked like a teacher, but like everyone's friend.

Suddenly, singing came from the next class, and Brother Qiang took off his glasses.

"Who in our class sings well? Come up and sing a song."

"Xu Cheng!"

I don't know who started it, but at the time of graduation, out of a little revenge, everyone felt particularly comfortable playing a prank on the usually so majestic class monitor.

Just when Xu Cheng was in great embarrassment, Li Qiuyang betrayed him.

"Teacher, Xu Cheng can play the guitar!"

After much anticipation, Xu Cheng was finally forced to take the podium, and Brother Qiang even went to the next class to borrow a guitar for him.

Since everyone is like this...

"That's embarrassing."

Xu Cheng tried to pluck the strings, but the isolated sound was harsh and monotonous.

The audience laughed indifferently. The students were just having fun and of course they didn't have high expectations of the class monitor.

Only Lin Wanzhou rested his elbows on the table, holding his cheek.

Then Xu Cheng plucked the strings a few more times. The noise that was difficult for ordinary people to eliminate when playing the guitar with their fingers was very easy for him.

The opening notes were plucked very slowly, but like a poem consisting of seven steps. The first seven were ordinary, but when it came to the eighth, everyone in the class raised their heads.

A series of notes form a song.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance"

"Say goodbye to you"

"Because I might never see you again."

Zhang Zhenyue's song "Goodbye" became popular in 05. This graduation song will be sung in every graduation season.

"I will remember your face"

"I will cherish the thoughts you give me"

"Do not look back"

“Keep going without looking back”

Some people in the classroom were humming along, some had tears in their eyes, Brother Qiang seemed to be recalling something from the past, and Guo Zining was wiping his tears with tissue paper.

Lin Wanzhou was still very strong. Her lips turned white because she pursed them too tightly. Her long legs were stretched straight under the desk, and she took deep breaths through her small nose without attracting any attention.

On the table was Xu Cheng's student card. Before she returned it to him, she picked up the pen and quietly wrote a few words on the back of his card.

Because she had a sticker of Kudo Shinichi on the back, it was easy to write on it.

Set up your desks and leave school in the morning, and you can go to see the examination room in the afternoon.

Xu Cheng and Yu Yu's examination venues were both in the nearby Experimental Middle School, while Lin Wanzhou's examination venue happened to be the No. 1 Middle School where she applied.

The three of them first went together to see the experimental examination room, and then Yu Yu said goodbye to them and went home to finish his manuscript, as the editor had been urging him.

Only Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou were left on the bus to No. 1 Middle School. There were not many people there, so they sat in the back row.

Lin Wanzhou looked out the window. The car started up with a rumble and she turned around to look at Xu Cheng.

"I won't ride a bike to No. 1 Middle School anymore. It's a bit far. I'll take the bus to and from school."

"Ah."

Xu Cheng agreed, "It's indeed a bit far. If you want to go to No. 1 Middle School, you'd better not ride a bike."

This road and this train are almost the routes he remembers most clearly in his life.

After all, the best memory in everyone’s life may be in college, but the deepest memory is definitely the three years of high school.

It was more than a thousand days and nights of working day and night with mixed feelings. Xu Cheng had felt excited, angry, and happy on this train... Sometimes he would accidentally miss his stop and be late in the morning.

In his previous life, Xu Cheng attended a very ordinary junior high school. After catching up in junior high school, he was admitted to this key high school in the city after taking the senior high school entrance examination.

Although he could not escape the fate of becoming a small town test-taker, this incident made him and his family proud for a long time.

After checking their admission tickets, the two entered No. 1 Middle School. The campus was very large and the buildings had a white, decadent atmosphere.

"The campus of No. 1 Middle School looks so old." Lin Wanzhou looked around curiously.

"Yeah, it's been a while."

Xu Cheng said helplessly that he remembered that the school renovated the campus right after the senior year graduated, and the next class could enjoy it directly.

Unable to enter the classroom, they began to visit the campus curiously, but most places were blocked by cordons and they did not dare to go in because of the security guards watching.

Lin Wanzhou thought it was not bad, at least she was able to stroll through her campus with him.

Xu Cheng found it very strange. He never thought that he would walk side by side with the campus goddess Lin Wanzhou.

When people talked less, the atmosphere became very subtle. Xu Cheng felt a little bit of ambiguity, but he didn't notice the sparkling eyes of the girl next to him, and gradually became lost.

They came to the station and waited for the bus home.

Cars kept passing by on the roadside, and there were only the two of them in front of the bus stop. The weather was a bit gloomy, and it seemed like it was going to rain tonight.

Xu Cheng glanced at his watch and said, "Why don't we take a taxi back? It's time to get off work now and the taxi might be very crowded."

"Lin Wanzhou?"

After not getting a response from her for a long time, Xu Cheng called her several times again, and finally wanted to pat her on the shoulder.

"Don't touch me!"

Lin Wanzhou suddenly pushed him away heavily, looking very angry, which made Xu Cheng feel very puzzled, "Why did you push me? I called you several times just now, but you ignored me."

"Xu Cheng promised to go to the same high school as me, right?" Lin Wanzhou looked at him with red eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

"yes……"

"Then why do you regret it?"

She pushed Xu Cheng again, but Xu Cheng was not pushed by her. Instead, she fell backwards and something like a small card in her hand fell to the ground.

Xu Cheng reached out and held her to prevent her from falling, but after she stood firmly, she pushed him away.

"Liar, let's not meet again."

She turned around and the bus arrived at the right time. She stepped through the front door and got on the bus in a daze, like a lost soul.

Xu Cheng stood there in a daze, all his good mood gone.

This was the first time since they met that he was so angry and said such decisive words.

Why are you suddenly so angry?

I saw a shiny small card on the ground from the corner of my eye. I remembered that it had just fallen from Lin Wanzhou's hand.

After picking it up, I found it was his student card, but on the lower right corner of the Kudo Shinichi sticker on the back, there was a sentence written:

“Even if your future is at Luzhou No. 1 Middle School, you must become the best person.”

Luzhou No.1 Middle School?

Xu Cheng suddenly realized why Lin Wanzhou was so angry, and then looked inside the bus.

Through the car window and the crowd, he saw Lin Wanzhou hiding in the corner of the car.

She lowered her head, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be crystal clearness in the corners of her eyes. She raised her arm to wipe them from time to time.

There were many passengers in the huge carriage, and she was standing there alone, feeling so lonely.

The car door was about to close, and Xu Cheng rushed over...

in the carriage.

Lin Wanzhou regretted it very much and still said those words selfishly.

She originally wanted to generously bless Xu Cheng and wish him a bright future in Luzhou.

There are still endless possibilities in the future, right?
