Rebirth: Growing Up Together

The girl did as she was told, but when she took the tomato out of the water, she was so busy that she forgot that it was hot water and her fingertips were scalded by the hot water. She cried out "Ouch" and covered her hand in pain.

"Did you get burned?"

"Oh...it's okay."

"Why are you okay? Let me take a look."

Xu Cheng firmly grasped the girl's fair little hand in his palm, pursed his lips, and blew air towards the burned part of the girl.

Seeing how nervous he suddenly became because of her, Lin Wanzhou felt that being scalded was not a big deal. She felt a little happy in her heart, feeling sweet as if she was being cared for like a little flower.

"It's really okay. I'm not that delicate."

"I told you to be careful. Oh, I'll do it."

"No, I must learn how to cook, and then..."

"What's next?"

"No, nothing..."

Looking at the girl who was tough again at this moment, Xu Cheng felt familiar and cute.

"It's okay. When we get married, one of us will just have to know how to do it. Don't worry, I won't let you starve."

"..."

The girl's face began to turn red uncontrollably.

What did he just say?

After getting married...

Every girl likes to hear boys say this, not because of marriage, but because——

He said we would have a future.

So the sense of crisis in the girl's heart because of the appearance of Yu Yu's photo suddenly dissipated a little.

But Lin Wanzhou still said stubbornly.

"At least I'm going to do it for you once today."

Xu Cheng had no choice but to agree. Although he didn't know why, he didn't want to reject the girl's feelings.

Do it once for you.

No boy can refuse this statement.

Under Xu Cheng's careful guidance, the girl cut the tomatoes, green onions and coriander. Basically, if there is someone guiding every step, there will not be too big mistakes.

However, the hot oil splashing during the stir-frying process scared Lin Wanzhou so much that she hid far away with the spatula in hand. Fortunately, Xu Cheng flipped the eggs over in time before they were completely burnt.

A plate of slightly burnt scrambled eggs with tomatoes came out of the pot. As it was served on the table, Lin Wanzhou's self-confidence gradually dissipated.

"Xu Cheng, would you like to try it?" The girl looked at Xu Cheng, who was sitting across from her at the dining table, with some anticipation.

Xu Cheng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a large piece of egg and stuffed it into his mouth, then showed an expression of enjoyment.

“Mmm~ delicious.”

"Tsk, you're lying, you think I'm a little girl."

"No, it's really delicious."

Xu Cheng said with sincerity in his eyes.

Sometimes girls don't necessarily need to hear the truth from you. Don't you know whether the porridge is delicious or not? What they want to hear is probably the answer they want.

Just like the size of a bear, a girl knows her own size much better than you do, but of course she will feel surprised and happy when you praise her for being big.

And now, for Lin Wanzhou, what Xu Cheng said was one of the answers she wanted to hear.

Even though I didn't quite believe it, I was still very satisfied and happy after hearing it.

She sat up straighter, crossed her hands and folded them under her beautifully curved chin, looking at Xu Cheng with curved eyebrows.

"Is it really delicious?"

"Ah."

"...So which one tastes better, Yu Yu's or the one I made?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Xu Cheng bent over and coughed for a while, and the girl pouted.

"I know. I don't cook very well. I can't compare to hers, and I can't cook as well as she does."

"Fool."

Xu Cheng took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Why do you have to compare yourself with others? No matter whether your food is delicious or not, sour or sweet, I love it..."

He also sat up straighter and looked into Lin Wanzhou's eyes sincerely. The girl shyly avoided his gaze, her face burning.

What are you doing?

I don’t like Xu Cheng anymore, so why did I get so anxious when I saw Yu Yu’s photo on his phone…

"Hmph, I'll let you off today. If the food is burnt, don't eat it. Let's go eat the canned assorted food we just bought."

"Don't waste it, let me finish cleaning it up."

Xu Cheng picked up the plate and finished it clean in no time. Although the girl didn't say anything, she felt sweet seeing this scene.

Humph.

If he was eating Yu Yu's food, he definitely wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Still making up my mind.

From now on, I have to cook a meal for him every few days and feed him until he is full. Then he will no longer be able to eat the food cooked by other girls.

This is called paying public grain!

Xu Cheng took out the assorted cans from the bag, patted his butt, and with a light twist, the lid opened easily.

"Lin Wanzhou, your hand is injured, can I feed you?"

"My hand is fine."

"How come you're okay? How can you ignore burns? It would be so troublesome if they got infected. I'll feed you, I'll feed you."

Xu Cheng used a small spoon to scoop out the small white square-shaped coconut flakes inside, ate one himself, and then put the remaining one to Lin Wanzhou's mouth.

The girl was standing next to him. Without any hesitation, she took the entire spoon into her mouth.

She really liked the feeling of chewing the coconut in her mouth, but she also complained, "It's so annoying. It's all stained with your saliva."

"Sit down and eat slowly."

Xu Cheng sat down and naturally put his hands around the girl's waist. The petite girl lost her balance and sat on this guy's lap with almost no room for resistance.

"Let me go, let me go."

"Here's a pear for you."

"Aww!"

The girl gradually became addicted to Xu Cheng's feeding.

The remaining modesty was completely unable to withstand Xu Cheng's feeding offensive.

Xu Cheng was enjoying feeding the baby very much.

Whenever the girl put the spoon in her mouth, the strange touch from the handle of the spoon was quite addictive.

The two of them were doing shameless things in a shameless posture, but they kept emphasizing that their relationship was innocent.

I didn't even notice the sound of the key being inserted into the door...

Chapter 281: Try and Die

"Zhou Zhou, have you eaten?"

Gao Manman held the wall with one hand, bent her legs, took off her black high heels, and put her feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings into slippers.

Go through the entrance hall and into the living room.

Even though the two people on the sofa moved very quickly, Gao Manman still caught the afterimage of them staggering apart.

"Mom...Mom, why did you come back so early..."

Lin Wanzhou's little face was as red as if it was painted with red watercolor paint, which instantly reminded Gao Manman of the phrase "The mountains are all red, and the forests are dyed red."

Excluding the possibility that she was old and had seen it wrong, her daughter was sitting on Xu Cheng's lap just now, right? !

It seems like... he is still eating the canned food in his hand.

She just ended the meeting early and didn't tell her daughter that she would come back early. So she dared to "compete for freedom in the frosty sky" at home?

There are probably only a few most fatal moments in a woman's life. The first is finding out that her husband is cheating at home. The second is finding out that her daughter is cheating at home. It has to be a daughter. If a son is cheating, it doesn't count. If a son is cheating, then she is ecstatic.

After all, she was the elder, and she had the basic skill of not showing one's emotions in official circles, so she smiled gently and greeted Xu Cheng.

"Xu Cheng, come to my house to play."

“Yeah.”

When his name was called, classmate Xu stood up from the sofa and stood very straight.

"Yes, yes, yes... I, I came here after school."

He was rarely so nervous, his palms and forehead were sweating. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a scene in his past life or this life.

He didn't know what to say, and in a panic, he picked up the can and handed it to Gao Manman.

"Ah, Auntie...you eat canned food."

This made Lin Wanzhou want to kick him.

I was already afraid of this, and you took the initiative to bring it up.

However, for Gao Manman, Xu Cheng, whose face showed an honest and simple character, made her appreciate him a little more on some level.

After all, as a mother-in-law who came from that era, she likes to find a son-in-law who is upright, honest and simple.

Therefore, Xu Cheng's instinctive appearance as a simple boy of 16 unexpectedly added several points to Gao Manman's heart.

Actually, I didn’t feel too surprised.

Gao Manman had already given Lin's father a heads-up. Ever since the Chinese New Year when Lin Wanzhou tricked them into going on a trip, she and Lin's father began to suspect that there was something fishy going on between their daughter and Xu Cheng.

Today was a trigger, and it also exposed the truth, telling Gao Manman the whole truth -

Not only is there something fishy going on between her daughter and Xu Cheng, but if things continue like this, Xiao Lin Maomao will be dead soon.

If the relationship can develop to the point where they sit on each other's laps to eat, then it is definitely more than just childhood sweethearts!

As a mother, it takes a lot of effort to feed a child while sitting on his lap. She knows this much better than her own daughter.

The human brain will make adaptive adjustments based on its own and external conditions, allowing the entire brain to work in an orderly state.

This is what Gao Manman’s brain was thinking at the moment.

She didn't have many thoughts that made her angry, but she had quite a few thoughts that made her console herself.

Why are you so angry? Actually, Xu Cheng is pretty good.

She had watched him grow up since he was a child, so she knew everything about the little boy.

Look at this boy's happy expression when he was eating canned food with his daughter. This boy is so easily satisfied and he doesn't worry at all that his daughter won't be able to handle him.

Let’s talk about other things.

Xu Cheng's family was not bad, and was considered a good match for her own family. She knew Xu Cheng's parents well, and had been friends for more than ten years. The two families knew each other very well. She knew Aunt He's temper, and she knew that she was gentle, so her daughter would not be afraid of being bullied if she married into the family. Xu Cheng's family lived in the local area, so she did not have to worry about her daughter marrying out of town and only seeing her once or twice a year...

And look to the future.

Xu Cheng is tall, good-looking, and good at studying, so her offspring will definitely have good genes. When they have children, she and Xu Cheng's mother work in the same unit, so they can take turns to take leave to help look after their children. Xu Cheng's family is rich and powerful, so it shouldn't be a problem to send her to the best kindergarten. The surname Xu won't sound bad when naming a child...

Gao Manman's CPU is running at high speed.

If Lin Wanzhou knew about these thoughts, the girl would be very aggressive and complain to her mother.
