Rebirth: Growing Up Together

He found her childhood self!

At this moment, the girl clearly felt that something soft in her heart was touched.

She turned around and looked at Xu Cheng, whose face was flushed in the dark. "How did you find this?"

"At once……"

Before Xu Cheng could answer, the loud voice in the video attracted the attention of the two.

【Mr. Lamb! Mr. Lamb! 】

A fat little boy with a snotty nose raised his hand high and complained to the teacher that the kids behind him were sleeping. As the camera shifted, a confused little boy with a crew cut appeared in the picture.

"Pfft."

Lin Wanzhou couldn't help laughing, "Is this you, Xu Cheng?"

"As you can see."

"You were so ugly when you were little. Why would I play with you?"

"...??? As if you are so beautiful."

"Ok?"

"Well, you are very beautiful. You are the most beautiful in the world, Lin Wanzhou."

After hearing him say bold and unbridled things that she liked to hear, the girl rewarded him with a kick and then continued watching the video.

"Could this little fat boy be Li Qiuyang? You two are so close now that you're almost like one person. How could your relationship be so bad before?"

"Who wants to wear a pair of pants with him? Even if he does, it will be with you."

The girl didn't listen to his answer, her attention was all on the little boy in the picture.

He is simple, thin and small like a little bean, but his eyes are calmer and more mature than those of ordinary boys.

Then a sweet and happy smile appeared on her face.

"Lin Wanzhou, this birthday gift... do you like it?"

"like."

"How much do you like it?"

"I like it more than you like me."

The two people's faces turned red after hearing this, and Xu Cheng nodded.

"It seems like he really likes it."

As he spoke, the video continued to play forward.

[…Is there any kid who would like to volunteer and take the initiative to talk about what he or she wants to do when he or she grows up? ]

The teacher's voice sounded in the video, and Xu Cheng's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. He naturally knew what would happen next. He didn't know whether Lin Wanzhou could still remember it, and what kind of mood he would feel after seeing it now.

He quietly observed the girl's expression and found that she just stared with her beautiful eyes wide open, with a slight smile on her lips, watching quietly, as if she didn't know what would happen next.

When the picture finally reached the moment of the reporter's interview, Lin Wanzhou appeared on screen again.

[…You are such a cute kid, could you please introduce yourself to me?]

[Hello, sister. My name is Lin Wanzhou and I am 6 years old.]

[It's Lin Wanzhou, can you tell me what your dream is? ]

【My dream is to grow up quickly! 】

The reporter then had several more conversations with Lin Wanzhou.

[When I grow up, I want to buy the delicious food I like, and watch TV at home without my mother controlling me, and then...]

In the camera, the little girl said so, but suddenly became embarrassed and a faint blush appeared on her face.

The girl looked somewhere in the classroom several times, not at the camera. The cameraman keenly captured the figure of Xu Cheng sitting in her seat drinking AD calcium milk.

In front of the camera, Lin Wanzhou, who had already become a slim young girl, seemed to recall something. Her face began to turn red, but fortunately it was hidden by the darkness.

It was just the temperature rising from his body that made Xu Cheng feel a little hot.

"Lin Wanzhou... do we need to watch more later..." Xu Cheng asked nervously.

"Of course, I'll see." The girl replied in a low voice.

The video continues to play.

【And then what? 】

The girl finally spoke hesitantly, [And... I want to be Xu Cheng's bride...]

The classroom in the video was in chaos because of the crying of the little fat boy. In the duck boat outside the video, the two grown-up people were quiet and silent, only their breathing was disordered and rapid.

"...Let's have a simple cake to celebrate for you." Xu Cheng was the first to break the silence.

Lin Wanzhou asked in a glutinous voice, "Where are the cakes?"

"Of course I have a way."

Xu Cheng opened his schoolbag and took out a pack of Hollyyou cigarettes. Then he rummaged around and pulled out a box of matches. Finally, he put a tiny Hollyyou cigarette in his palm and stuck the match on it.

"Get ready to make a wish, Lin Wanzhou."

Lin Wanzhou nodded, understanding what he was going to do. Xu Cheng lit another match and lit the one on the Haoliyou.

Sparks began to sway in the dark boat, swaying left and right, jumping up and down, and two large black shadows of a boy and a girl were printed on the cabin.

"Ahem... Happy birthday to you~", Xu Cheng cleared his throat and sang two unpleasant lines.

Lin Wanzhou closed his eyes devoutly, clenched his fists, looked at the orange-red color under his eyelids, made a wish, and then blew it out with a "whoosh".

The darkness returned to his vision, and Xu Cheng broke the Hollyyou in his hand into two pieces.

He stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp, licked the crumbs on his palm, and asked curiously, "What wish did you make, Lin Wanzhou?"

The girl chewed it in small mouths and answered in a low voice when she heard the words.

"It won't work if you say it."

"Tell me, tell me."

Xu Cheng poked the girl and she could only mutter.

"Oh... just like in the video..."

"Same as in the video just now?"

Xu Cheng fell into deep thought, and Lin Wanzhou blushed and stuffed her arm, which felt a little cold, back into Xu Cheng's clothes.

She closed her eyes, and the orange-red scene just now appeared in front of her again.

She clenched her hands and prayed silently in her heart.

When I grow up, I still want to be Xu Cheng’s bride...

Chapter 290: Try and Die

After the rain stopped, the bus from the scenic area management office finally drove over.

Before the staff arrived with flashlights, the two people who had seen the light in the distance had already separated from each other's bodies, restored their clean posture, and sat obediently in the boat waiting for rescue.

After that, they took the bus down the mountain. The day passed just like that, and it left something deep in their minds, such as...

Xu Cheng’s cold.

When he opened his eyes the next day, Xu Cheng felt dizzy and his nose was blocked, as if only one nostril could breathe normally.

And every time at this time, he would recall if his body was normal, whether both nostrils could inhale and exhale smoothly at the same time, but he couldn't remember it every time.

My throat also feels uncomfortable, and it hurts and itches when I cough, as if I was stabbed by something.

Feeling a bit tired, Xu Cheng wrapped himself up tightly and continued to sleep. He finally opened his heavy eyelids when he heard a knock on the door and a cell phone ringing.

Lin Wanzhou stood outside the door, holding an exquisite cake box in her hand, with a large untouched cake in it.

She deliberately cut off half of it and told her mother that she wanted to leave it for her friends.

So this was not something she specifically left for Xu Cheng, but was meant for her friends, and Xu Cheng just happened to be one of her friends.

[The delicate love, the thick feeling like a blanket, the familiar sense of security after being exposed to the sun...], listening to the ringtone on the mobile phone, the girl also hummed a few lines.

Soon the call was connected, and an angry voice came from the other end.

"Hey?"

"Open the door quickly, I'm at the door."

Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, the door was opened. Xu Cheng at the door had messy hair like a bird's nest and was wearing only a pair of wrinkled and baggy shorts.

Seeing Xu Cheng's listless look, Lin Wanzhou was stunned for a few seconds, his face inexplicably flushed.

"You can only talk about getting married after you grow up. Don't let your imagination run wild now. You can't sleep..."

"???"

Xu Cheng rubbed the back of his head in confusion, and deliberately leaned his head back a little. "What are you talking about? I just have a cold. Go home quickly. Be careful not to infect you."

"Do you have a cold? How do you feel? Do you have a fever?"

The girl acted as if she didn't mind at all. She tiptoed over and raised her cool little hand to touch Xu Cheng's forehead.

It was because his parents often did this when he was sick when he was a child. Not only could they feel whether he had a fever, but it also seemed to be an action full of care and love, so Lin Wanzhou also learned to touch him.

Xu Cheng also let the girl touch him. The cold little hand made his brain, which was about to fly away, feel a little more comfortable.

"The temperature seems to be normal."

"I don't think you have a fever, just a common cold. It's probably because you stayed in the rain for so long yesterday. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm healthy."

The girl made a gesture similar to that of a gorilla massaging its back, and her chest rose and fell slightly as her delicate arms made this gesture.

"It's probably because I hid in your arms that I didn't catch a cold."

"That's good. Is the cake for me?"

Xu Cheng's eyes fell on the girl's other hand, and Lin Wanzhou nodded.

"Yes, I cut half of it for you in advance."

"Then give it to me."

Xu Cheng took the cake, then put his hand on the door frame, waved and said, "You should go home soon, Lin Wanzhou. I should be able to get better after a rest by myself. Since you don't have a cold, don't let me infect you again."

After saying that, he waved his hand and closed the door. He looked at the time and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Cheng felt hungry but didn't want to eat.

After lying down for a while, just as he was about to get up and open the cake that Lin Wanzhou brought to fill his stomach, the door was knocked again.

After opening it, Lin Wanzhou was still outside the door, but this time she was carrying a black plastic bag with something unknown inside.

"I got you some medicine. Here, Isatis root and Bupleurum chinense granules. When I caught a cold before, my mother would mix two packets together and make me drink it with water..."

"I'm not a child anymore. I still know how to drink it. Give it to me."

Xu Cheng interrupted Lin Wanzhou's chattering, but the girl did not hand it to him. Instead, she used her back to help him enter the door.

"You're sick, how can you be alone at home? And you caught a cold because of me yesterday, so I'll reluctantly sacrifice myself to take care of you."

I saw her changing into slippers, placing a large bag of medicine on the coffee table, and then busily pouring water, as attentive as the hostess of this house.

Xu Cheng suddenly felt that his head, which had been groggy for the whole day, was much more relaxed.

"Put it on." Xu Cheng took a white disposable mask and handed it to Lin Wanzhou. The girl looked at him strangely.

"what?"

"Aren't you afraid of being infected by me?"

"I won't wear it. It's so uncomfortable because it squeezes my ears. Let it be contagious..." Lin Wanzhou pushed him away.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, every time she caught a cold, Xu Cheng would always come to her house to see her. If he didn't come, she would call him to come. At that time, she would definitely drag him to get some skin, and in the end he was infected and both of them caught a cold.

The girl walked back and forth in the living room, and soon prepared the brown medicine and brought it to Xu Cheng.
