Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Xu Cheng's temptation has always been able to accurately capture Lin Wanzhou.

After all, growing up together gives you this advantage, because you know each other so well that you can easily come up with chips that will make the other person's heart beat.

Anyway, we eat at home every day, and we rarely eat the meals cooked by Xu Cheng. And if he is asked to cook, he will definitely be busy and will definitely be very tired.

Well, she didn’t want to eat the food this guy cooked, she just wanted to see him working hard.

"Then I'll eat at your house. It's nice to change the taste occasionally. Do you want to go out and buy some groceries?"

"Of course I want it. There's nothing at home."

The two of them put away the books on the dining table, and Xu Cheng put on a black and white baseball jacket.

The two walked to the door one after the other. The shoe-changing area in the entrance was small. Since Xu Cheng never untied his shoelaces when putting on his shoes, he could put them on very quickly. He just had to step on the upper of the shoe to be done.

At this time, he turned around and took a look at Lin Wanzhou who was waiting behind.

"Do you want me to help you put it on?"

"..."

The girl's heart was slightly moved, and she couldn't help but imagine the scene of the prince helping Cinderella put on the crystal shoes.

"No!", she said stubbornly.

The two went out again, but this time they were looking for food.

The bird of the white-bearded old man downstairs was still there. When it saw them, it started calling "baby, baby" again.

Xu Cheng tried to be naughty by knocking on its cage. The starling was frightened and flapped its wings in the cage, and several feathers fell off.

"Xu Cheng is actually jealous of a bird."

"...I don't have any."

Xu Cheng answered guiltily and changed the subject, "Lin Wanzhou, what do you want to eat?"

“I want to eat a broccoli.”

"Garlic, I know how to make this."

"I also want to eat some fried chicken with corn kernels. Can you make it?"

"Yes."

Lin Wanzhou looked at the boy next to her curiously.

"What about Mapo Tofu? Can you make it?"

“Aren’t two dishes enough?”

"I don't want to eat mapo tofu, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"Won't do it."

The girl felt that the two people seemed to be a good match in some strange way.

He just happens to know how to make the things she wants to eat, and he just happens not to know how to make the things she doesn't want to eat.

The weather was a little warmer than in the morning, and the sunlight was so scorching that it was difficult to open one's eyes.

"Would you like to hold hands, Lin Wanzhou?"

"do not want!"

The girl was frightened by his unreasonable request and hid far away, "We are so close to home, why are you holding hands? We are all acquaintances."

"In idol dramas, young couples always hold hands when buying groceries, don't they?" Xu Cheng tempted again.

Lin Wanzhou felt that what he said made sense. The young couples in idol dramas were indeed like this, always showing their love in all kinds of strange places, making the audience in front of the TV tremble with sweetness.

Well, so pull your hands down...

Slow!

I almost got fooled again!

The girl gave the boy next to her a fierce look, then slapped him.

"Who is your sweetheart?"

"Hiss... all right, all right..."

The girl patted Xu Cheng all over, touching his abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, and biceps.

"Will you dare to do this again in the future?"

"Your mother, your mother..."

"Xu Cheng, you dare to scold me!"

"Congee?"

Lin Wanzhou was still enjoying the fight, and his actions were becoming more and more like he was touching Xu Cheng wantonly in broad daylight.

However, when he heard the familiar voice behind him, he stood up quickly, turned around at a loss and looked at his own mother.

"Mother……"

She lowered her head, pulled at the corner of her clothes, hooked her fingers, and rubbed her little white shoes on the ground. She looked like a good and sweet baby, completely different from the female hooligan just now.

"Auntie." Xu Cheng greeted her a little embarrassedly.

Gao Manman glanced at the two of them and sniffed twice, as if she could smell something fishy.

"Zhou Zhou, how could you hit Xu Cheng?"

"He, he made me angry..."

"You two should have fun together. The boys are letting you go, but you keep bullying them."

"me……"

The girl pouted and kept silent.

Gao Manman looked at Xu Cheng again and said kindly, "Xu Cheng, let's go to my house for lunch at noon."

"Ah? No, Auntie. Lin Wanzhou and I decided to cook together for lunch."

"You two? Zhou Zhou, aren't you going home for lunch?"

Lin Wanzhou wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and nodded angrily.

"Ah."

Xu Cheng coughed and said, "Auntie, shall we go buy some groceries first?"

"Oh, go ahead." Gao Manman agreed with some surprise.

I watched the two of them gradually go away and disappear at the entrance of the community.

At the corner, he saw his daughter impatiently rushing to Xu Cheng's arm and hitting him on the arm.

This, this, this...

Why does it feel like she's become an outsider? !

……

The two of them went shopping in the market for a while, then walked back to the community carrying the vegetables. When they saw the electronic scale at the entrance of the market, they were both unable to move.

After all, no one can resist an unattended, wild scale.

Xu Cheng carried the food and pulled Lin Wanzhou over. "Weigh yourself, Lin Wanzhou. Let me see how much you weigh now."

"I...I don't want to..."

Although the girl was eager to try, she was afraid that she would gain too much weight and be seen by Xu Cheng.

"Then let me try it first." Xu Cheng handed the dish in his hand to Lin Wanzhou, and their fingers inevitably touched each other.

As soon as Xu Cheng stood on the electronic scale, the scale clicked under the heavy weight and the number stopped at 76.52kg.

"You're so fat!" Lin Wanzhou said with disgust.

She could not normally tell that Xu Cheng was so heavy. Growth really was a kind of magic. Little Xu Cheng, who was the same age as her when he was a child, was now almost twice her weight!

"It's okay. I'm quite tall, so this is my normal weight. Do you want me to be as thin as a bamboo pole?"

"..."

Lin Wanzhou no longer wanted to be like Xu Cheng. She quite liked the way Xu Cheng looked now, tall, big and strong.

If Xu Gougou was really as thin as a bamboo pole, the girl imagined what he would look like when he was thinner. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't like him. She had a sick feeling as if he couldn't stand the wind.

It would be better for boys to have a sturdier body.

"It's your turn, it's your turn." Xu Cheng got down from the scale and pushed Lin Wanzhou up impatiently.

The girl resisted and pushed him away, "I don't want to be called, I don't want to be called..."

"I'll stand behind you and not look."

"……real?"

Lin Wanzhou looked at him suspiciously, and Xu Cheng made a solemn promise.

"I have never lied to you before."

"..."

Lin Wanzhou clearly remembered that it happened many times, but when he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't remember it.

Did he really not lie to me?

He stepped up carefully, turned his head and stared at Xu Cheng, and found that he really didn't turn his head to look at him, and he felt much more at ease.

He looked back at the number on the scale.

'92.23KG.'

"!!!"

The girl wiped her eyes several times and checked several times before she was sure that she had not seen wrongly the number.

"Xu Cheng, you broke this scale!"

"Ah? That's right."

Xu Cheng secretly withdrew his foot that he had just secretly put on the scale, but it still did not escape Lin Wanzhou's eyes.

"Xu, Orange!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

The girl rushed down and hit him with her teeth bared, attracting many sidelong glances from passers-by. She felt too embarrassed to continue the fight and gave up.

"Okay, okay, just weigh yourself. I won't make trouble this time."

"Really?"

"It's true. I'll carry you up."

Xu Cheng put the vegetables in his hands on the ground, picked up the girl's arms, and lifted her up again.

Lin Wanzhou didn't make any noise either.

It’s the same feeling as being lifted up high when I was playing on the swing yesterday!

Although she is afraid of heights, she feels that while it's exciting, she also feels an indescribable sweetness and a sense of reliable security.

This made her somewhat addicted to it.

I wouldn’t get tired of doing this a hundred times!

Xu Cheng placed her steadily on the electronic scale. The numbers jumped rapidly. Xu Cheng leaned over to take a peek. Even though the girl pushed him hard, he could still see the display with his head.

"44.83 kilograms, you are too thin, Lin Wanzhou, you don't even weigh 100 kilograms."

"I'm fat again. I need to lose weight."

"Why lose weight? I'll feel accomplished only when I can fill your belly up."

"Round? How round?"

Lin Wanzhou looked at him strangely, and Xu Cheng answered very naturally.

"As round as a pregnant woman."
