Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"I want to touch yours, too."

The girl placed her small hands on his strong chest.

"It's pretty quick too." She pursed her cherry-like lips and said softly.

I remember Aning said that everyone's heartbeat is different.

And when one person's heartbeat resonates with another person's heartbeat, and the two hearts beat at the same frequency...

Love is born!

now.

Their hearts seemed to beat in unison.

At the same frequency...

Chapter 197: You can do whatever you want just because you like me

A fetus around 6 months old will show an instinct called the "grasping reflex."

If by chance, an ultrasound will show them holding the umbilical cord inside the uterus.

Even though this reflex disappears when babies are 6 to 12 months old, the human desire for touch never disappears.

Lin Wanzhou's little hand was held tightly.

She had only dreamed of herself holding the hand of the big boy Xu Cheng, walking with him through the streets and alleys, just like a real couple, letting other people's eyes linger on them.

But this was not a dream. The sticky feeling in her hands reminded her that all this was real.

The last time this happened...

It seems to go back many years.

Because of her parents' quarrel, the two of them staged a kidnapping scene and he dragged her around the streets.

It’s been almost five years!

Although she felt sweet, the girl was also a little scared. She was afraid of being seen by her acquaintances and classmates, and even more afraid of being seen by both sides' parents.

She couldn't imagine what kind of storm would break out if this scene was seen by each other's parents.

She wasn't mentally prepared to endure that, so she had to work hard to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

"Xu Cheng, we have to set a rule. You can't always do this in the future."

"How do you decide?"

"Set a time limit. I, I have to stick to it."

"Time limit... can I add more time?"

Although the girl didn't understand what extra time meant, she knew very well that once Xu Cheng said a word she didn't understand, she would just beat him up, which was definitely not a good thing.

She slapped his stiff arms a few times, then looked down at the white uppers of his shoes. She suddenly felt an irresistible urge, so she raised her little white shoes and stepped on his instep, leaving a small footprint that belonged to her.

Xu Cheng's face instantly turned bitter.

"My A-cone! Didn't we agree not to step on shoes?"

The girl said confidently, "If I don't step on it, someone else will. What's wrong with it being my first time?"

Now that she knows Xu Cheng likes her, she is very powerful.

"In short, it has to be limited in time. It can only be for a short while every day. You are still a little boy, and we can't let you indulge yourself too much."

"…Then tell me how long it will take."

"three minutes!"

"Who are you looking down on? Three minutes is enough for anyone!"

"Five minutes should be enough."

Xu Cheng thought that what he lacked was not just one or two minutes of effort, and if holding hands was calculated by minutes it would be too much like that.

"No, no, not even five minutes."

The girl didn't bargain with him and just made the deal.

"Five minutes is five minutes."

Seeing Xu Cheng was disappointed, she started feeding him cake again.

"Of course, if you do something that makes me happy, then I'll extend your period...but if you make me angry, I'll take it away from you!"

"You are quite clear about rewards and punishments. I like that."

The girl rolled her eyes at him.

She thought that she would be the head of the radio station in the future and she must have strong leadership skills.

Xu Cheng did not bargain with her. She said it was five minutes. In the past, he could pull it as long as he wanted, but he would always get a beating.

"But I want to hold your hand for a day today. You promised me before."

"How could I promise you that?"

"You agreed to it before."

The girl said stubbornly, "How can tacit consent be considered as consent? That's only because you are very strong. You forced me to do it. You held me captive!"

Her voice was quite loud, and many passers-by nearby heard it and rushed over to look.

Xu Cheng was so frightened that he quickly covered her mouth.

"What are you talking about? You can't even pronounce qian and jian clearly. How can you be a broadcaster?"

"Tui! Tui!"

Lin Wanzhou vomited twice.

"Why are your hands so salty again? It's so disgusting..."

"What nonsense! That's sweat."

Xu Cheng could not accept her slander at all.

The entrance to the mall was bustling with people. Some people were selling a bunch of balloons, all with cartoon designs, such as Doraemon, Ultraman, Pleasant Goat, Calabash Brothers...

Many children looked on with envy.

The girl also looked on eagerly, then put one hand on her waist and looked at the boy next to her in a domineering manner.

"Xu Cheng, buy me a balloon!"

The balloons were very cheap, and if she wanted, she could buy all of them herself, but she didn't want to buy them. She wanted Xu Cheng to buy them for her.

"You're not a child. You're going to buy clothes with balloons..."

"Hmph...I want it!"

The girl pouted and started to get angry. She swung their arms back and forth like they were swinging on a swing, and tried to pull her hands back from his.

Xu Cheng had no choice but to coax her like a child.

"Stop joking. What pattern do you want?"

The girl immediately laughed, "I want Lazy Sheep's! Lazy Sheep is the cutest."

Xu Cheng took out money and bought a Lazy Sheep balloon. The girl took it happily and kissed Lazy Sheep on the face twice.

"So cute."

Xu Cheng took a look and said, "I want it too."

The girl glared at him and pushed him, "Dream on, get out of here, you pighead..."

"What...I mean I want a Stitch balloon."

"Don't buy it, don't buy it."

The girl misunderstood his meaning and refused to apologize, dragging him away.

Because she was afraid that the balloon would fly away, she wrapped the red silk string of the balloon around their arms several times.

So many people can see a boy and girl who look like a young couple, walking together holding hands, dragging a balloon that looks like Lazy Sheep in the air between them.

"Hmm... Let me see, women's clothing is on the third floor."

Xu Cheng glanced at the schematic diagram of the mall and pulled Lin Wanzhou to take the elevator, but she suddenly stopped.

"How about taking a stroll on the first floor?"

"The first floor is full of gold jewelry and furniture, and you don't buy those."

“You can’t go shopping if you don’t buy anything!”

"..."

Xu Cheng had no choice but to accompany her shopping.

People frequently visit places like shopping malls, but the first floor is the least visited place.

Lin Wanzhou was curious, and so was Xu Cheng. They were like robbers waiting in advance, peeking into each counter and carefully observing the golden ornaments inside.

"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, look at this, this little golden Ruyi is so pretty!"

The salesgirl at the counter came over immediately and said, "Beauty, you have good taste. This little Ruyi suits you very well. If you like it, I'll give it to you and let you try it on."

Lin Wanzhou waved his hands quickly.

"No need, sister. I won't buy it."

"It's okay if you don't buy it, just give it a try."

The female shopping guide knows a lot about this.

Such a beautiful girl, even if you don’t buy her today, you will need her one day.

She took out the key, opened the counter, took out the bracelet with a small gold Ruyi string, and helped Lin Wanzhou put it on her wrist.

The girl happily stretched out her wrist in front of the boy.

"Does it look good, Xu Cheng?"

Her wrists were beautiful, smooth as jade, slender and white. With the gold jewellery, they looked elegant and enhanced the radiance of her skin.

Xu Cheng nodded, "It looks good. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Lin Wanzhou rolled his eyes at him and patted his arm.

"You idiot! And you gave it to me? You have a lot of money, don't you? You bought something like this..."

"I can really give it to you."

"That's not the case. If you don't change your extravagant habits, you'll be fine if you can't afford milk powder for your child when you get married!"

The girl quickly took off the jewelry from her wrist, smiled embarrassedly, handed it back to the female salesperson, and then dragged him away by the arm.

"Really? From now on, you should give me all your money. You spend the little money you have recklessly..."

"Why? I've already given you half."

"That's what you should have given me. That's my share. In addition to that, you have to pay me... um... public grain!"

"... Let's talk about it later. Let's go over there and take a look first."

They went to the furniture section again.

Under normal circumstances, they probably wouldn't even come here, but today the two of them seemed to have entered a new world, looking at all the goods around them with curiosity.

"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, look at this bed, it's so soft!"

Lin Wanzhou sat down on the big bed excitedly. The bed bounced and her whole body bounced along with it. In Uncle Long's words, her whole body was bouncing like duangduang.

"It's very soft. What brand is this?"

Lin Wanzhou glanced at the brand secretly, then saw the price, and quickly moved his butt and stood up from the big bed.

"It's soft, but my mom said it's better to sleep on a hard bed...it's good for your waist!"

"How old are you? You're already concerned about your waist."
