Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"I can't just turn my back on you, because then I won't know where to block for you."

The girl didn't say much. Anyway, her hands and feet were always played with by this guy many times, so this kind of thing didn't really matter.

But today was a little special, because Xu Cheng wanted to block it for her, so the distance between them was very close, especially Xu Cheng's eyes were staring at her feet, and her toes couldn't help but feel hot.

and……

The girl slowly took off her white socks, revealing her feet wrapped in black stockings bit by bit.

The black stockings are transparent, with the flesh color half-hidden and half-visible, and the black regular patterns on the socks can be clearly seen. The small feet are hooked upwards, emitting a faint and attractive luster.

The girl rolled up the small white socks into a ball, held them in her palms, and used her slender fingers to adjust the position of the stockings on her feet, smoothing out all the wrinkles.

"I'll hold it for you."

"what?"

Before Lin Wanzhou could react, Xu Cheng had already taken the little white socks from her hand and put them in his pocket.

The girl couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"Why do you like the socks I stole so much?"

"Help you pack it, don't lose it."

The girl pursed her lips but said nothing.

This guy……

I’ll give you hundreds of pairs of shoes for your birthday. They’re all worn and will stink to death!

After taking off the shoes, she put them into the shoe box and put on the silver high heels with some excitement.

Girls will be very happy to wear new clothes and new shoes that they don’t wear normally.

"Is it nice?"

She lifted her feet and shook them in front of Xu Cheng, who nodded honestly.

"It looks great. Get up and take a few steps to try."

The girl stood up excitedly, but when she stood up she felt discomfort in her feet and it was very difficult for her to walk steadily. She had to put her hands on Xu Cheng's shoulders to feel safe.

"Can you go on stage later?"

Xu Cheng was worried. Although she was only going on stage to play the piano and then leave, he was worried that the girl would fall on the stage.

Lin Wanzhou is very stubborn.

"I won't hold you back."

Xu Cheng said helplessly.

"The show comes second. I'm worried you'll get hurt."

Lin Wanzhou glanced at Xu Cheng's expression, and his eyes seemed to be filled with nervousness towards her.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened, and I suddenly wanted to hug him.

"Hold me, I'll be fine after a little walk."

So, just when everyone was busy preparing for the show, a scene appeared backstage where Xu Cheng was walking with his arm around Lin Wanzhou's shoulders.

Many boys wanted to come over with prop knives and chop to death these two people who were blatantly showing their affection.

Finally, it was their turn to wait in the backstage. Behind the dark curtain, the girl's eyes were exceptionally bright under the lights on the stage.

"Xu Cheng, I'm starting to get a little nervous again." She said in a low voice.

"What should I do? I didn't prepare any iced tea for you."

"How dare you say iced tea!"

The girl waved her little fist and hit him lightly, and then she felt less nervous.

With him by my side, there's nothing to be afraid of.

When Pei Xueqi introduced the show with a string of brilliant copy, the three of them came on stage.

Xia Yue was the most eye-catching one. Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou huddled in a corner of the stage, like a night covered with gauze, mysterious and charming.

Lin Wanzhou's piano music ended, and the song he played was "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Xia Yue danced gracefully. Qiao Yiming, who always said he hated singing and dancing shows, squatted in the audience and watched with his eyes wide open.

Xu Cheng's playing was only joined in the last bar, just playing lightly so as not to destroy the atmosphere of the song itself.

Lin Wanzhou pressed every key of the piano attentively. From the corner of her eye, she seemed to see Xu Cheng beside her, as if he was staring at her.

So she boldly stopped looking at the music score and looked at him.

At this moment, the guy stopped playing the guitar and leaned over to play with her.

The girl's eyes widened.

There has never been such an arrangement before!

I don’t know how many times this guy secretly planned it, and he grasped the timing so well that he didn’t disrupt the music.

But there was absolutely no ensemble, he just leaned over to touch her fingers on the keys.

The girl's heart was beating very fast. Her face was red and she lowered her head, trying her best to concentrate on the song.

In front of the whole audience, across the piano, he touched her hand.

Every time I touched it, it was like lightning bursting out of the music.

A different kind of excitement surged into her heart, and sweat gradually appeared on her palms.

This kind of sneaky behavior under the bright lights gave her an indescribable feeling that fascinated her.

Surprisingly, not a single note or syllable was played out of order, but instead, it added a loving flavor to the song.

The gentle music and graceful dance gradually stopped.

There was silence for a long time.

It seemed that everyone was immersed in the emotion brought by the performance.

Several music teachers stared at the stage commentary in a daze.

“These students put in a lot of effort.”

"Yes, I have some skills, both in piano and dancing."

Just when everyone felt that silence was better than words, Lin Wanzhou made the only mistake in the performance.

The girl stood up, but her high heels slipped and she fell to one side.

The audience just watched.

Xia Yue's eyes widened nervously, Qiao Yiming raised his hands to cover his face, and Pei Xueqi, who was hiding behind the curtain, felt her heart beating in her throat...

At this moment, Xu Cheng, who was wearing a white shirt, hugged her around the waist.

The movements were so graceful that the audience thought it was a choreographed move.

After all, they seemed to be acting as backup dancers in the corner. When they played the guitar together just now, the two of them were quite dramatic.

"I caught you."

Xu Cheng hugged the girl, looked at her and whispered.

Lin Wanzhou also looked at him, inexplicably wanting to cry, and hugged him tighter.

This posture lasted for three seconds before Xia Yue turned around and bowed blankly.

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

Gentle music, romantic performance.

After all this was over, the first reaction of the pianist Lin Wanzhou who stepped down from the stage was to punch Xu Cheng twice.

Her face flushed and her tone was filled with shame and anger.

"What are you taking advantage of to touch..."

Chapter 209: What does she eat but he won’t eat?

When he hugged Lin Wanzhou on the stage, his hand couldn't help but move down a few inches.

Very slippery...

"I didn't mean to do that. It was just that when I hugged you, my hand just happened to go there."

Xu Cheng explained in a pale voice, and Lin Wanzhou glared at him angrily.

Humph.

Who believes it?

"clothing."

She stretched out her hand to Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng took out the black down jacket and put it on her shoulders.

Lin Wanzhou wrapped herself in a thick coat, and she looked as bloated as a penguin despite her small stature.

The girl straightened her clothes, remembered something, and raised her head to look at Xu Cheng.

"You hugged me once more on stage just now. You used up two of your three chances to hug me, and there is still one more."

"???"

Xu Cheng was unhappy, "Are you being unreasonable, Lin Wanzhou? I can't let you fall to the ground."

The girl ignored him and reached out to him.

"Where are my socks!"

Xu Cheng pretended not to hear and left in a hurry. The girl quickly took off her high heels and put them away, then chased after him in her white sneakers and rushed to beat him up.

I chased him all the way out of the auditorium from the backstage. The night was a bit noisy, and the cold wind had a hint of fireworks.

Afraid that she would fall while chasing, Xu Cheng slowed down.

Lin Wanzhou caught up to him, panting heavily, grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands, and stretched one hand in front of him.

It’s like a girl who lost her virginity chased after a thief who stole flowers, stretched out her little hand and asked the thief to give her bellyband back.

Xu Cheng reached his hand out of his pocket and grasped the little hand in front of him tightly.

"What are you doing...let me go..."

The girl resisted shyly, her voice was soft and very pleasant to hear.

She was very good at judging the situation. Now that there was no one around, she automatically became cuter to prevent Xu Cheng from suddenly doing something bad to her.

You can also say that she bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Xu Cheng ignored her resistance.

"Lin Wanzhou, don't go back to watch the show, let's go out and have fun, go to the night market."

The girl was still trying to resist shyly, but when she heard Xu Cheng's suggestion, she immediately moved and stopped trying to break free with her hands.

"Now?"

"Yeah, the two of us, now, are going out to play together."

"Then I want to eat takoyaki."

"Okay, I want to eat the old lady's clam noodles too."

He just held the girl's hand and walked out of the campus.

With the cover of the pitch-black night, Lin Wanzhou suddenly became much bolder. Plus, most of her classmates were in the auditorium watching the cultural performance, so the girl was not too afraid of being discovered while holding hands.

She also pulled Xu Cheng's arm and swung back and forth like a swing. At first it was just a slight arc, but later it swung higher and higher.

After leaving the school gate, the flow of people at the station suddenly increased. Lin Wanzhou pleaded with Xu Cheng in a low voice, promising to give him the hand after getting on the bus. Only then did Xu Cheng agree to let go temporarily.

The bus arrived quickly and the two of them sat down in the last row, one in front of the other.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Cheng couldn't wait to spread his hands in front of Lin Wanzhou, with his fingers staggered, obviously wanting her to also stagger her fingers and then insert them.
