Rebirth: Growing Up Together

It’s not that Xu Cheng can’t go alone, but he mainly doesn’t want the venture capitalists to think that he is a lone commander and he has to bring some “subordinates” with him.

Xu Cheng ran to Yu Yu's house and asked her if she wanted to go to Shanghai with him.

"Am I also an employee of your company..."

Xu Cheng persuaded him patiently.

"You can be our company's artist. I'm really short of people right now. Don't worry, it won't affect your part-time job of drawing comics."

Yu Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement. If Xu Cheng wanted her help, she would be willing to agree. After all, he had helped her so much in the past. As long as she could help him a little, she would be willing to do it.

"But, I, I'm a part-time artist in your company," she emphasized.

She is the great cartoonist Yu Zhile, not an employee.

The matter was settled, and my mother-in-law happened to come back from get off work.

Ever since Yu Yu enrolled in No. 1 Middle School, the school has assigned cleaning work to my mother-in-law. It’s called cleaning, but in fact it’s just walking around. The work is much easier than selling sweet potatoes, and the income has increased a lot.

Xu Cheng asked the old lady for her opinion, but her mother-in-law did not stop him.

"Just be safe, go out and have some fun, see the world, that's good."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will definitely take good care of Yu Yu."

……

After booking two tickets to fly to Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai early in the morning, Xu Cheng asked Yu Yu to stay at his house for one night, and they took a taxi to the airport together the next morning to save time.

When Lin Wanzhou heard that Xu Cheng was going to take Yu Yu to the Magic City tomorrow, she hurried to his house.

"Are you going with Yu Yu?"

Somehow, when Lin Wanzhou heard that Xu Cheng was going out with another girl, he felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, we two are on a business trip."

On business trip?

Yu Yu became inexplicably nervous when he heard these words.

She has seen a lot of stories about business trips, and she prayed silently in her heart that no bad plot would happen where the heroine of the movie turned out to be me, which would be terrible.

"Xu Cheng, I want to go too. Please buy me a plane ticket."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Cheng glared at Lin Wanzhou.

"Your mother has told you not to go. What if your mother follows you to the Magic City right after you leave?"

The girl became depressed.

Xu Cheng and Yu Yu had to go to the supermarket to buy some things they needed for the journey, and Lin Wanzhou hurried to follow them.

"You're so careless, what if you forgot to buy something? I'll help you keep an eye on it."

"Makes sense."

When it comes to preparing things, girls are ten thousand times more careful than boys.

Lin Wanzhou did a particularly good job in this regard, just like her bag, no matter what he needed, she could take it out for him, as if it was not a simple small bag, but Doraemon's pocket.

Picking up the shopping baskets, the three of them started shopping in the supermarket. Most of the time, Lin Wanzhou was packing things, while Xu Cheng and Yu Yu followed behind.

"I've been to the Magic City before. It's very cold there in the winter. You should prepare some thicker clothes."

"understood."

"By the way, it still rains in winter there, so you should prepare an umbrella. Do you have one at home?"

"Let's go buy it over there. It's very troublesome to go through security with an umbrella."

"What's the problem? What if it rains after we get off the plane?"

The girl muttered to herself as she brought them a folding umbrella.

Xu Cheng didn't say anything. He still quite enjoyed this feeling, as if he didn't need to bring his brain with him when he went out, and all he needed to do was bring Lin Wanzhou with him.

"Why don't you come with us, Lin Wanzhou?"

"Go to hell, aren't you afraid that my mom will come looking for you?"

"We eloped secretly."

Yu Yu, who was standing by, heard this and was shocked.

Three people eloped?

This is so exciting...

When going to the checkout, Lin Wanzhou had packed the food and she also paid for it.

Xu Cheng felt that it was no big deal and there was no need to separate his money and her money too clearly.

Of course, the things were given to Xu Cheng to pick up.

When the cashier was giving the change, Lin Wanzhou asked for three lollipops. They each took one and took a taxi home.

When they arrived at the gate of the community and on the way home, Lin Wanzhou started to care about Xu Cheng again.

"What time do we leave tomorrow?"

"The flight is at 8:30, so if I get up at 5:30 I should be able to make it in time to avoid traffic jams."

"Well, a little earlier, otherwise it will take a long time for you to reunite with Xiaoyu."

"She's staying at my house today... She'll leave straight away tomorrow morning."

For some reason, Xu Cheng felt a little guilty when he said this.

Yu Yu also felt that Xu Cheng's words were strange, and he could clearly see that Lin Wanzhou didn't say anything else, and the atmosphere was very low.

It was not until they reached the bottom of Xu Cheng's apartment building that Lin Wanzhou finally spoke.

"Xu Cheng, I'll stay at your house tonight..."

Chapter 216 Give Me a Piece of Gum

The three of them went home carrying a mess of things.

Xu Cheng bit the lollipop into pieces, pulled off the stick, and threw it into the trash can downstairs. He chewed it hard in his mouth, making a crunching sound.

He looked at Lin Wanzhou strangely.

"Live in my house...why?"

Lin Wanzhou's beautiful big eyes are bright.

Of course she couldn't say: I'm afraid that Xu Cheng, you bad guy, will be in the same room with Yu Yu and do to Xiaoyu all the bad things he did to her.

He folded his hands across his chest, looking calm and composed.

"I don't know how long you will be gone. I will miss Yu Yu if I don't see her for too long. I want to sleep with her tonight."

After saying that, he took Yu Yu's arm and didn't even look at Xu Cheng.

She is not jealous!

I'm just worried about Xiaoyu's safety. She's so naive, not as smart as me. She's a cunning monkey-like girl, and will definitely be easily fooled by the bad guy Xu Cheng.

In order to prevent her from becoming a fallen girl like herself, Lin Wanzhou felt that it was necessary for her to stay and protect her tonight.

Xu Cheng also understood it very well.

Between the lines of Lin Wanzhou's words, he clearly heard two words: eat and jealous.

Of course he didn't think he would be angry. Looking at Lin Wanzhou pouting and turning her head to the side pretending not to care, he thought she was even more adorable.

"Then how are you going to tell your parents if you stay at my house tonight? Will they agree?"

"I just said I was staying at a female classmate's house."

"You'd better tell the truth, Lin Wanzhou. You're being so sneaky as if we're having an affair."

Adultery?

Yu Yu's little ears moved, as if he heard something very interesting, and he glanced at the two of them in surprise.

When Lin Wanzhou heard this word, she thought of the time when he secretly hugged and kissed her without the knowledge of Aunt He and Uncle Xu at her home.

Her little face immediately turned pink and she shyly raised her little hand to push the annoying guy away.

"It's none of your business. Open the door quickly."

In fact, she also wanted Yu Yu to live in her house, but after thinking about it, although she and Yu Yu were very familiar with each other, and Xu Cheng's family were also very familiar with Yu Yu, her family did not know Yu Yu very well, and Yu Yu had basically never been to her house.

Given Yu Yu's unwillingness to interact with outsiders, it would probably be very uncomfortable for her to live in her house. For her sake, she did not mention this option.

Once they entered the room, they did what they were supposed to do as a family.

Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Xu Cheng opened the shopping bag and checked again to see if there was anything he had missed.

"What did you buy?"

Although you can still buy it when you get there, it is most convenient to be fully prepared before setting off, so as to avoid not being able to buy what you need urgently.

There are many kinds of things in the bag, including disposable paper cups, umbrellas, throat lozenges, hot packs, motion sickness medicine... and many snacks.

Just then, Lin Wanzhou came out of the kitchen with a cell phone in her hand, ready to call home.

"Xu Cheng, I bought a lot of snacks for you. You can eat them if you are hungry in the hotel."

Xu Cheng glanced at her little mouth.

"Why haven't you finished your lollipop yet? What flavor is it?"

"What are you doing!"

The girl protected it vigilantly, fearing that Xu Cheng would snatch her candy stick and suck it again.

"There are too many here. I might not be able to put them in my bag. I'll pick out some and you can eat the rest."

"That can."

When Lin Wanzhou heard that they wanted to keep it for herself, she immediately agreed, and Xu Cheng roughly counted it.

"Energy bars, Red Bull, biscuits, melon seeds, potato chips, rice crackers, throat lozenges... Du Lei...?"

Slow!

It seems like there’s something strange mixed in with the snacks!

Would Lin Wanzhou not take away the things other people bought?

Xu Cheng picked up the box of blue, thin cubes and asked Lin Wanzhou tentatively.

"Why are you still holding this?"

Lin Wanzhou looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong? I saw this at the checkout. This brand of chewing gum should be new. I haven't eaten it yet, so I just grabbed one. Don't you want it? If you don't want it, keep it for me."

“…No, no, I’ll just pretend.”

Xu Cheng was about to put the money into his pocket helplessly, but Lin Wanzhou hit his arm.

"Give me one."

"…What do you want this for?"

"I'll have a taste."

"No."

After asking a few more times, Xu Cheng refused to give it to her. The angry girl tried to snatch it away. Xu Cheng dodged left and right, and finally just held the gum high in one hand.

Lin Wanzhou came closer, but she was not tall enough to reach him, so she pressed closer to him.

Being clinging to the soft and cold girl, Xu Cheng couldn't help but have some sexy thoughts, so he gradually bent his waist, and as a result, when she jumped up, she could just grab his hand.

This made Xu Cheng seriously suspect that she had found his weakness and did it on purpose.

"You're so stingy, I bought this with my own money."
