Rebirth: Growing Up Together

He was sleeping soundly, with his lips slightly parted, revealing his shiny teeth.

Lin Wanzhou stared at him carefully to see if he would drool, so that she could quickly take an ugly photo of him with her cell phone.

Her eyes moved downward to Xu Cheng's porcelain-white neck, which was the part that made her most excited.

Just watching was not enough for the girl, so she quietly stretched out her little hand and gently scratched the boy's neck.

It was like using the fingertips to give him a small "kiss" on the neck, and then quickly retracting it.

"laugh……"

My heartbeat quickened a little, as if I was doing something astringent and exciting.

She suddenly wished that time would stop forever, and that everything would always be so gentle, so quiet, and so warm.

Or it could be like this every morning from now on.

Perhaps Xu Cheng was tickled, and he smacked his lips and woke up. He looked to the side, and the girl hurriedly closed her eyes, refusing to admit what she had just done.

She could feel their breaths mixing together.

"He must be looking at me..."

What she didn't expect was that the boy had seen through her poor disguise and spoke softly.

"Are you awake already?"

Lin Wanzhou pretended to be a cat that had just been woken up from a nap and looked at him resentfully.

Stars of light appeared in each other's eyes.

Xu Cheng's lips curled up.

"Good morning, Lin Wanzhou."

laugh……

The girl's little heart is like a little bird chirping on a branch.

"...Good morning, Xu Cheng."

dong dong dong.

The dull knock on the door made both people in the room nervous at the same time.

"Zhou Zhou, are you awake? Let me help you collect your dirty clothes...", the voice of Lin Wanzhou's grandmother came from outside the door.

Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou looked at each other quickly and saw the solemnity on each other's faces.

They reached a consensus in a matter of seconds.

You must not get caught!

If their grandmother saw them sleeping in the same bed, it would be difficult to resolve the situation if they didn't get married on the spot.

The two of them moved very quickly and fell off the bed in a snap.

Xu Cheng rushed into the bathroom in a few skillful steps.

Lin Wanzhou was inexplicably talented. He stuffed Xu Cheng's quilt and pillow into the closet.

It's too late to say.

The next moment after the two of them finished their little action, grandma suddenly pushed the door open.

quiet……

She glanced into the house.

Lin Wanzhou was already awake and sitting on the edge of the bed in her pajamas, staring at the computer.

She was extremely nervous and looked very unnatural. She held the mouse in her little hand and kept right-clicking and refreshing the desktop.

"Why do you play computer right after getting up? It's so bad for your eyes." Grandma started nagging.

"Well...there's nothing to do..."

Lin Wanzhou raised her hand unnaturally and tidied her hair.

Grandma said, "Where's your laundry basket? I washed the dirty clothes you took off yesterday."

broken……

A bolt of lightning struck Lin Wanzhou's mind. The clothes basket was in the bathroom!

"Grandma, the clothes are not dirty, no need to wash..."

"Why not? I went out for a day yesterday. It's so hot here. Clothes will get dirty if I wear them for a day..."

As he said that, he walked towards the bathroom.

As she approached the bathroom, she actually heard the sound of running water. She looked inside through the frosted glass door and saw that the light was on.

"Kid, why don't you turn off the faucet? And don't turn off the light either."

"That, that's..."

Lin Wanzhou clenched the corner of her clothes tightly in her little hands and rubbed her slippers on the ground, not knowing how to explain it.

dying! dying!

As she watched her grandmother reach out to push the door, Lin Wanzhou had already chosen the style of wedding dress she would wear at the wedding in her mind.

With a suffocating "creak", the bathroom door was pushed open.

"Ouch!"

After seeing the scene inside the door, grandma screamed in fright.

How come there is a big rat hiding in there?

Xu Cheng's hands and face were covered with facial cleanser foam. Several holes were visible from the white foam: eyes, nose, and mouth.

He was hunched over in front of the sink, and when he heard the noise he turned his head to look at his grandmother outside the door.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Who!"

"It's me, Xiao Xu."

"Xiao Xu? What are you doing in Zhou Zhou's room so early in the morning?"

By the end of her speech, grandma's voice had automatically risen half a pitch.

She glanced at the flustered Lin Wanzhou, as if she had seen through something.

"You two...?"

"We just slept..."

Before she could finish the word "together", Xu Cheng interrupted her and said, "It's like this, grandma. I don't know why the water in my room is not running. I came to her place to wash my face."

Grandma looked at him doubtfully, "The water is not flowing?"

“It really doesn’t flow anymore!”

As if to prove it, Xu Cheng pointed to the clothes basket and said, "It didn't flow yesterday. I took a shower here yesterday and left all my clothes here."

Grandma found it very strange, but since the boy was quite honest, she didn't doubt it too much.

"I'll ask someone to take a look for you. How come the water hasn't flowed yet..."

After saying that, he picked up the clothes basket and walked out the door muttering to himself.

The two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Of course.

Grandma was also very shrewd. She relaxed her guard on the surface, but in fact she ran to Xu Cheng's bedroom to check again.

I went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and water kept flowing out of the faucet.

I just relaxed my vigilance a little, but it suddenly became more intense again...

Chapter 166 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix

"That's outrageous!"

Grandma muttered angrily to Old Gao.

Old Gao held two walnuts in his hands and kept sizing them.

"Oh, back then Zhou Zhou's uncle was in love, and you were against it like Sherlock Holmes. Now that Xiao Xu and Zhou Zhou are living at home, you're back in your element, right?"

"These two are so young, but they can already lie. And Xiao Xu can even smoke at such a young age."

When Old Gao heard about the smoking incident, he felt even more guilty towards Xu Cheng and plucked up the courage to speak up for him.

"I was the one who smoked it that day... Stop using this to criticize Xiao Xu."

"You are so good, old man Gao! You made me wrongly accuse Xiao Xu for so long!"

Grandma chased him and beat him up, and confiscated all of Gao's cigarettes.

After making a fuss for a while, the old couple sat down again, and old man Gao gave them some weak advice.

"These two kids grew up together and know each other very well. Xiao Xu is not bad either. It would be great if he can succeed."

"You can't do this now!"

Grandma looked very angry, "She is just a little girl. If something happens to Zhou Zhou, how are we going to explain it to Man Man?"

Old Gao thought so too. Although they were indeed at a passionate age, they should not make mistakes impulsively...

He doesn't object to falling in love, but you have to talk enough before falling in love, and you can't fall in love too early.

Breakfast consisted of eggs, fried dough sticks, buns, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Two old people and two children sat at the table, and all four of them had unnatural expressions.

"Xiao Xu, come and have an egg."

Grandma peeled a tender white egg and handed it to Xu Cheng.

"Thank you grandma."

Xu Cheng thanked him politely.

"Ah."

Grandma smiled and got to the point, "I just checked your room, the water is fine, it's flowing normally."

Grandma's eyes were sharp, and there was obviously something else behind her words.

The breakfast felt like the Hongmen Banquet.

Lin Wanzhou became nervous, and her calf could not help but move closer to Xu Cheng's calf, and her slippers began to rub the floor again.

What should I do? Can I hide it no longer?

Old Gao felt the atmosphere was extremely awkward, so he said, "I'm full", put down his bowl, and hid not far from the restaurant to tease Ah Fu.

The golden-yellow Ah Fu stuck out his little butt, squinted his eyes, and grinned as if he was smiling.

You won't give me any melon seeds, right?!

Rat, I told you long ago that there will be retribution!

There are still many good people in the world.

Xu Cheng would not admit that he lied so easily.

I didn't do anything, it was just a misunderstanding.

He didn't want Lin Wanzhou's family to think that he had done something wrong. He had only eaten vegetarian dishes, but in the end he was treated as a meat dish.

“Is the water flowing normally?”

He looked surprised, "But yesterday I tried the shower head and wanted to take a shower, but the shower head didn't run."

Shower head not running?

Grandma made some guesses based on the clues provided by Xu Cheng.
