Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Yu Yu, who has always been a money-grubber, felt a little sad.

"Eh hey hey? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing her eyes redden, Xu Cheng stopped watching and said, "You definitely can't catch it like this. Do you want me to help you?"

"Well?"

The girl with misty eyes glanced at him, but Xu Cheng didn't care and just hugged her from behind, holding the girl's two soft and small hands.

It feels so good to hold her little hand, like holding a piece of soft jade in my hand.

"Shake it first, then release the hook..."

Yu Yu’s face was turning red and his body was going limp.

She could feel the warmth of Xu Cheng's palms, and the solidity of his embrace.

The machine shows the remaining time: 5s.

That means he held her in his arms for a full 15 seconds!

"It's now."

Xu Cheng held her little hand and pressed the button. Her hand was so small that it didn't even seem as big as the button.

The hook was lowered, and both of them hooked it together.

At this moment, both of them focused their attention on it.

It grabbed the head of a fish at an angle, lifted it up tremblingly, then retracted it to its original position and let go.

A small bastard fell into the reward slot.

"I caught it!"

Yu Yu moved in Xu Cheng's arms in surprise, and Xu Cheng naturally let go of her hands, went to the reward slot, took out the doll and handed it to the girl.

"Want to play something else? I'll treat you."

"No, I don't want to play anymore."

"No, I have to play."

In one afternoon, the two of them played all the machines that were turned on. Except for the dance machine, neither Yu Yu nor Xu Cheng had the nerve to play it.

When I came out of the video game arcade, the sky outside was already filled with sunset glow.

This made Yu Yu feel like he was dreaming that day. Not only did he not have any exams, but he also spent the whole day playing with Xu Cheng.

After squeezing onto the bus, the two of them found two seats. Yu Yu leaned back on the seat a little sleepily, and the two of them chatted intermittently.

Even Yu Yu found it strange that she, who was usually taciturn, would always talk to him endlessly.

"I didn't expect the ending to be like that... By the way, Yu Yu, what's your favorite sentence in that book?"

The girl didn't say anything. She tilted her head to the window, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed into a long and beautiful slit.

Seeing that she seemed to have fallen asleep, Xu Cheng did not disturb her anymore. He took off his coat and put it on her considerately.

Only the girl knew that she was awake, secretly looking at the scenery outside the window.

The sky was already falling into night, there was no light in the car, and the world seemed dark.

She recited the sentence quietly, in a voice that only she could hear, without stumbling.

"There is no sunshine in my world, only darkness."

"But there are things that can shine instead of sunlight. Although not as bright as the sun, it is enough."

"..."

Chapter 278 When two people are in a bad mood, negatives add up to positives

The next day, Xu Cheng and Yu Yu both took the exam normally.

After the last English test in the afternoon, the students returned to their classrooms for two self-study classes.

People are in a state of anxiety, and everyone is looking forward to doing something during the two-day holiday.

As a result, before I had time to be happy about this two-day vacation, the test papers had already been graded and distributed.

"The class representatives of each subject will go and pick up the test papers, and the student council members will go and collect the transcripts." Xu Cheng simply assigned the tasks at the podium.

There was a sudden burst of complaints from below the podium.

"Oh my god, how slow are these teachers? Can we even have a good holiday?!"

"I can't see, I can't see, I've already gone home, I don't know what the test paper is."

……

However, when they saw their head teacher Li Jia come in, the students who were shouting just now quieted down.

Seeing that the usually amiable Li Jia had an unfriendly look on his face, the students in the audience fell silent.

Li Jia first looked around quietly, and the students she saw were horrified and began to wonder if they had done badly in the exam.

"Now that the exam is over, you're all completely relaxed, right? Look at how you all performed this time. Our class didn't even get first place in average score this time!"

Li Jia scolded at the podium, and Xu Cheng understood at that time that this was a classic teacher's move before the holiday: he was afraid that the students would have too much fun, so he gave them a beating first.

Moreover, he failed to maintain his first place in the grade average score, which was largely due to the fact that he and Yu Yu did not take part in the first day of the exam. It was not necessarily because other students had declined.

Li Jia must have known this, but as an experienced teacher, he took the opportunity to use these superficial data to scare students.

"Xu Cheng went to my office to take down the papers. I will go back to finish this holiday. I will check it myself when school starts."

"Oh."

Xu Cheng agreed.

As soon as he stood up, Li Qiuyang next to him poked his arm. He turned his head and saw him whispering to him furtively.

"Old Xu, when you go to the office, remember to help me check my score this time."

This scene happened to fall into Li Jia's eyes. She raised her arm and pointed at the guy.

"Li Qiuyang, they are still whispering to each other. I know you did well in the exam, right?"

"Ah? Really? Really..."

"Stand up for me."

Li Jia looked at him unhappily, "I haven't had the chance to say anything to you yet. You are the only smart person left in our class. You asked me to be a famous person in the teaching and research group with you."

Coincidentally, the class representatives returned to the classroom with the papers.

Li Jia spitted on his fingers, rummaged around and pulled out a paper, held it in the air, and tapped his fingers.

"Come, come, look at Li Qiuyang from our class. He is so smart. Not only is he smart, but he is also considerate of the teacher. He not only did the test paper himself, but also corrected it himself..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was a burst of happy laughter from below the podium.

Li Qiuyang stood there stupidly, shaking his butt.

Xu Cheng helped his forehead helplessly, and also noticed that Guo Zining in the front row turned his head and gave this guy a contemptuous look, and the red on Li Qiuyang's face became even deeper.

"What are you laughing at? Li Qiuyang, bring your parents with you when you come to school next week."

Li Qiuyang looked bitter, and Li Jia looked around the classroom again.

"And Xia Yue, stand up too."

Xia Yue stood up timidly from her seat, and the sisters who often played with her all looked at her nervously.

"Your score in physics, chemistry and biology combined is not as high as others' in chemistry alone. And you're still running a radio station every day. You should quit immediately. Do you hear me? Also, bring your parents to school next week. I need to have a good talk with them..."

After school.

The students who were looking forward to the holiday just now now had an unspeakable bitterness on their faces.

When I thought about having to take two more sets of papers during the holiday, I suddenly felt that it would be better not to take this holiday at all.

Xia Yue lay on the desk and cried, so Lin Wanzhou and Guo Zining gathered around the table to comfort her.

Guo Zining took out the toilet paper and wiped away the tears from Xia Yue's face.

"Teacher Li, you are really going too far! You have only made a small step backwards this time."

"That's right. How can you not do this test? Let me explain it to you. If I don't know how to do it either..."

Lin Wanzhou hesitated for a few seconds and said softly, "If I don't know either, let Xu Cheng explain it to me first, and then I will explain it to you."

After coaxing Xia Yue for a long time, she finally felt better.

Lin Wanzhou walked out of the classroom with a few girls and chatted with them for a while before saying goodbye to them.

Then he looked at his cell phone, and went to the playground with his schoolbag on his back, feeling worried.

The evenings in spring are always bright. There is a touch of bright blue in the sky, and the playground is dyed with a thin layer of red under the setting sun.

From a long distance, Lin Wanzhou noticed Xu Cheng's familiar black bag, which was thrown in a pile of bags next to the basketball hoop.

His coat was also hanging loosely on the rack, but it was unique and not placed next to the others.

This made the girl feel at ease.

If this guy dares to mix his coat with other boys', he will never be able to give her a coat again.

Before Lin Wanzhou got close, he felt as if many eyes were staring at him, and the competition on the court seemed to become more intense.

Her hair fluttered in the wind, and her quiet white shoes and sweet face all stood out in the venue, like a little white flower that suddenly broke into a group of boys.

"Give me the ball, give me the ball."

"Get out of the way."

"You wait, you bastard..."

For high school students, a large part of the reason for liking basketball is to look cool on the court and in front of girls.

However, the girl's gaze did not linger on them, but went straight through everyone and landed on the boy who had half of his sleeves rolled up.

Xu Cheng touched the ball, tapped it twice on the ground, then jumped backwards. The basketball moved in an arc like an antelope hanging its horns without leaving any trace, achieving a good result of three clean shots.

"It stinks."

"what."

The other boys on the court scoffed at this.

Xu Cheng didn't care. He rubbed his nose, patted someone's shoulder nonchalantly, and said breathlessly.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, the target has come to me."

Then he walked straight towards the girl next to the court and saw that girl holding his schoolbag and hugging his coat.

This made the wolves on the court feel even more angry than when he had blocked ten of their shots just now.

Lin Wanzhou stood gracefully at the edge of the court.

She is definitely the type of person who can be taken out. She behaves well outside, like a lady from a noble family, and is gentle and elegant.

You can't tell at all that he is actually a barbaric type who can trample on Xu Cheng in private.

She leaned slightly sideways.

She tried to read from Xu Cheng's lip movements what this guy was saying to others, but the next second, this guy ran towards her in a hurry, with sweat all over his neck and hair.

Lin Wanzhou felt that when he stood in front of him, the air in front of his face was made even hotter by this guy.

"Ok?"

"……what?"

"I'm talking about Xia Yue."

"Oh, she's already gone home, but she still looks a little sad. Aning was going the same way as her, so she went back with her."

"It's good to have someone with you. It's easy to do stupid things when you're emotionally unstable."

Xu Cheng picked up the water bottle under the rack and took a big sip.
