Rebirth: Growing Up Together

As I was thinking about it, suddenly my feet left the ground and my whole body flew up, and my hands could easily reach the branches.

Xu Cheng lifted him up again? !

She really liked the feeling of being lifted up by Xu Cheng, but she didn't dare to enjoy it too much, otherwise she would be so embarrassed if seen by so many people here.

She quickly tied the red cloth, and then with a blushing face, she also imitated Xu Cheng's just now, crossing her hands and making a wish.

"I, I will...just make my wishes come true..."

Xu Cheng smacked his lips and said as he put her steadily on the ground.

"Everything you wish for will come true? You are too greedy, Lin Wanzhou."

The girl turned her head away and ignored him.

Humph.

Where is the greed?

From now on...I think it's orange.

is it not OK?

……

Chapter 287 I Help You Get Your Childhood Back

"Did you bring any coins, Lin Wanzhou?"

The boy's questioning voice came from the small pond surrounded by rusty copper chains.

In front of him was a small artificial pond planted with clusters of emerald green lotus leaves. If he looked down carefully, he could see that the bottom of the pond was covered with white coins.

"I remember I came here to throw coins when I was a kid," the girl said as she rummaged through her wallet.

She was very careful when searching. After all, her parents' generation had taught her a hundred times that wealth should not be shown to others. She stood very close to Xu Cheng, as if she was in his arms, and even pulled his arm, asking him to help cover it.

"Maybe there's another coin in there that you lost when you were a kid." Xu Cheng glanced into the pond, as if searching for the coin.

The girl didn't quite believe it. "How could it still be there? It must have been rusted a long time ago."

"Not necessarily. Coins can be preserved for a long time if they are soaked in water. If they have not been salvaged, they may still be there."

"I don't know... I don't have any coins in my wallet."

Lin Wanzhou took the schoolbag from Xu Cheng's arm and put the wallet back into the compartment of the schoolbag.

After zipping up his pants and turning back, he saw Xu Cheng had already rolled up his sleeves and was squatting on the ground.

He stretched out his hand and scratched the surface of the pond, as if he wanted to take a coin out of it.

The girl blushed for him, "What did you do, Xu Cheng? Stealing other people's money? Be careful to be struck by lightning!"

As she spoke, she tried hard to cover him up, trying to contain his huge body with her small body.

This gave me a sense of excitement as if I were his accomplice, and I was wondering in my heart why I should care about him. Then a strange voice gave me an answer, saying something like 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog'.

Of course Xu Cheng didn't really try to fish it out. He just held the only one-yuan coin in his pocket in his palm, dipped it in the pool to dip it in the water, then stood up in surprise and waved at Lin Wanzhou.

"Look, I found the coin you lost when you were a kid."

"???"

"I just have this feeling, I feel like this is something you lost once when you were a child. Maybe this is a hint from the Buddha. If you look at it this way, our fate must be very deep. Maybe we are destined to be a match made in heaven..."

Although he was very good at seducing her, the girl was very cunning and not easy to fool.

Lin Wanzhou took the wet coin, placed it in the palm of his hand and took a look at it. In the sunlight, the coin emitted a bright white light in the palm of his hand.

He first looked at its pattern and finally saw the number 2005. Then he saw that only Xu Cheng's palms were wet, and he understood what was going on. He thought Xu Cheng must be a fool, but he didn't point it out.

Although it was silly, she still wanted him to do more for her like this.

Then he put the coin back into his palm and said, "Xu Cheng, throw it back to the owner."

"Let's throw it together, and it's like making a wish together."

"Why throw them together?"

The girl looked at him curiously, and Xu Cheng walked behind the girl and hugged her in the same position.

His body temperature allowed Lin Wanzhou to clearly feel that there was someone standing behind her, and the unique scent of Xu Cheng at the tip of her nose made her feel at ease and safe.

Xu Cheng raised his arm and pressed his forearm against Lin Wanzhou's forearm. The water marks on his hand had been evaporated by his body temperature, and now only a few drops of water remained.

The big hand wrapped the girl's palm in the center of the palm, and with the other hand stuffed the coin into the girl's hand, and whispered softly in the girl's ear.

"Let's throw it out together. The more it bounces on the water, the more wishes will come true."

"childish."

Although the girl spoke with disdain, her face was full of anticipation and excitement. Her picturesque eyebrows were curved and the corners of her mouth were raised in a beautiful arc.

"Humph, I'm the best at skipping stones. If it hasn't happened more than a dozen times, it means that the two of us are not suitable and can't work well together."

"A dozen times?"

Xu Cheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "That's a world record, right? Don't be too ridiculous, Lin Wanzhou."

"It has to be at least seven times, otherwise we won't be compatible. Husband and wife should have a tacit understanding and know each other's minds. If you can't do this, then don't even think about me marrying you in the future."

"what?"

When Xu Cheng heard that if he wanted to marry Lin Wanzhou, he had to be able to hit it at least seven times, the pressure on him suddenly doubled.

Both physically and mentally.

"Are you ready?" the girl asked him softly while he was lost in thought.

Xu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Hearing his answer, Lin Wanzhou could not only feel his breathing getting heavier, but also clearly felt that the strength of his big hand holding her small hand was much stronger.

The two of them raised their arms high together, and the little bit of skin exposed on their arms was almost sticking together, and the posture was the same as Xu Cheng hugging Lin Wanzhou from behind.

There was no time to think of any romantic ideas. The two of them waved their arms, found the right moment to loosen their fingers, and the coin flew out of their hands, making a subtle sound of splashing on the calm and green pond. Green waves appeared on the surface of the pond, and the aftermath of the ripples expanded and expanded, finally reaching the side of the pond.

"Once, twice..." Xu Cheng and the girl in his arms counted with their eyes wide open.

Especially Xu Cheng.

When he learned that this little game was actually a test of whether Lin Wanzhou had a telepathic connection with him, he became even more concerned about the result.

"... five times, six times..."

pity.

Under his expectant gaze, the coin plunged into the water without making a final splash.

Just one miss.

Such an insignificant little game made Xu Cheng feel slightly disappointed for a moment, and his eyelids drooped a little.

After all, people are sometimes so idealistic. Not only does he want to prove it to the girl, he also wants to prove it to himself.

When I like you, the whole world wants us to be together.

But the seventh one was not played...

Before he could come to his senses, the girl in his arms suddenly moved and turned around.

Their eyes met for only a brief moment, but Xu Cheng felt like he would remember that second forever. Lin Wanzhou's cheeks were as stunningly beautiful as the sunset in the sky.

The next moment, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek lightly.

"Seven times."

She lowered her head and whispered.

Xu Cheng stood there in a daze. He only remembered that her lips were very soft, very light, and slightly moist.

It was clearly only a weak force, but it almost overturned the pond in Xu Cheng's heart.

When I like you, the whole world wants us to be together.

If not, then I will come to you myself...

Chapter 288 Waiting for Rescue

"I have made a wish. I am leaving now."

Lin Wanzhou walked quickly towards the temple gate, his heart still beating wildly.

After all, she did something bad, and it was her who took the initiative.

Although this was part of the plan for this trip, to complete something that would be remembered by both of them for the rest of their lives.

But when we actually kissed each other, my brain short-circuited for a long time.

This aftereffect has persisted until now, to the point that the girl still walks unnaturally with her limp, and even while walking, she would inexplicably jump up and down with her hands behind her back, as if she was very proud of herself.

No, it is, okay!

Xu Cheng tried hard to suppress the waves in his heart and break away from the beautiful kiss that was like a blooming flower. With his long legs, he easily caught up with Lin Wanzhou who had already slipped away.

The hem of her skirt seemed to be touched by the setting sun, swaying in the dim light.

"Zhou Zhou, do you want to go somewhere else to play?"

"not going."

Lin Wanzhou said this with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes, and her voice became softer than usual.

"We've visited so many attractions, and it's almost dark. Let's go down the mountain and go home."

"Are you going back now?"

Xu Cheng seemed a little hesitant, and the girl looked at him curiously.

"What's wrong? Where else do you want to go?"

"No, no more."

At dusk, the light in the sky gradually became softer, and the soft clouds with shadows were dyed a dark golden color.

The two of them walked back slowly along the same route they had come. As they looked at the scenery along the way, they saw some remnants of the laughter they had had together on the way here, and they were filled with each other's smiles.

When it was time to go down the mountain, Lin Wanzhou suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

But if you think about it carefully, you have already completed everything you need to play and do, so there seems to be no need to stay.

How come this day passed so quickly!

She couldn't help but complain, it would be great if time could go as she wished.

"It looks like it's going to rain." Xu Cheng looked up at the sky with some concern.

Lin Wanzhou also raised his head and felt that the clouds were indeed thick and dense, and his body was feeling uncomfortably hot and stuffy, which seemed like a sign of rain.

"But I didn't bring an umbrella."

Xu Cheng looked around but couldn't find any obvious buildings. Thinking back to when he went up the mountain, this section was the closest to nature and there was not even a single person in sight.

"Let's walk faster. We have to get down the mountain quickly. There doesn't seem to be any place around here to shelter from the rain."

"Ah."

The girl nodded very seriously, and instinctively held Xu Cheng's big hand with her small hand, feeling much more at ease.

Unfortunately, after walking less than a hundred meters forward, the sky was already dark. Scattered water droplets began to float in the air, and soon became as dense as fine silver needles, with a tendency to gradually grow larger. The air was also filled with the fragrance of fragrant grass and wet soil.

Xu Cheng pulled Lin Wanzhou and ran as fast as they could. Finally, before the rain became increasingly heavy, they saw the broken duck boat that had stopped there once when they went up the mountain. The two of them hurriedly got into it.

Although the duck boat was old and shabby, it could at least serve as a good shelter from the rain at this moment. Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou sat side by side in it.

The girl adjusted her skirt, feeling a little cold, and glanced outside the boat.

The raindrops outside became as big as beans, and the rain curtain was even denser, as if completely separating the boat from the world. Overhead, one could hear the crackling sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the boat.

Because the wind blew the moisture from the rain, the two of them sat close together, leaning against each other, which made Lin Wanzhou feel that she finally felt some warmth, and she even had the urge to snuggle into Xu Cheng's arms.
