Rebirth: Growing Up Together

As if afraid that Yu Yu would have to explain, Yan Wenwen hurriedly pulled Yu Yu again, and smilingly spoke to Xu Cheng before her.

"Class monitor, you don't know. Xiaoyu couldn't concentrate on her homework today because you were not in the classroom. She was distracted several times during class. Look how worried people are about you."

"Wenwen."

Yu Yu winked at Yan Wenwen timidly, with an embarrassed expression on her face. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with mist, as if water was about to drip out.

"Uh……"

Xu Cheng's reaction wasn't much better.

When I thought of Lin Wanzhou who was hiding somewhere, I felt that Yan Wenwen's words were simply the fuse.

"I'll pour you a glass of water." He said with an awkward smile.

After saying that, he ran to get two clean glass cups to pour water. When passing by the curtains, he noticed something strange inside the curtains out of the corner of his eye. Guessing something in his mind, he quietly went over and opened a corner of the curtains.

Sure enough, he saw Lin Wanzhou hiding inside.

"There are only Yu Yu and Yan Wenwen here, why don't you come out?" he asked in a low voice.

"I, I'm not going out."

Lin Wanzhou pouted and pulled the curtains back, taking the opportunity to push Xu Cheng, fearing that he would expose her.

Xu Cheng had no choice but to go back and pour water.

He poured a cup for Yu Yu first, and then when it was Yan Wenwen's turn to pour a cup, he suddenly hoped that what came out of the water dispenser was glue instead of hot water.

How can this girl talk nonsense like that?

He frowned, what if Lin Wanzhou couldn't help it and ran out from behind the curtain to fight with her...

He couldn't control the situation just because he was sick.

The boy could only pray secretly that Yan Wenwen would not cause trouble again.

Of course, during this period of time, Yu Yu and Yan Wenwen were also talking in low voices on the sofa.

As soon as Xu Cheng walked away, Yu Yu tapped the edge of Yan Wenwen's slippers twice with his slippers, then leaned close to Yan Wenwen's ear, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with resentment.

"Don't... don't talk nonsense to Xu Cheng, Wenwen, before you came... before you came, we clearly agreed..."

Yan Wenwen looked like she didn't care and just patted the girl's soft back.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Do you really know how to act?

Yu Yu tugged at the corner of his clothes, feeling nervous, as he always felt that Yan Wenwen was like a bomb.

If only you could stop talking nonsense...

The girl's heart was pounding.

Xu Cheng brought back some water. Yan Wenwen took two sips and then spoke when she remembered something.

"Class monitor, it seems that the student council member has also called in sick today, did you know that?"

"Uh……"

Xu Cheng wanted to say that he not only knew, but also knew that she was faking her sick leave and had taken it just to accompany him.

"I know. I saw her say it on QQ."

"Student Councillor..." Yan Wenwen hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to bring up some topic about Lin Wanzhou.

Xu Cheng stared at this girl nervously, afraid that she would say something that would drive Lin Wanzhou crazy.

Fortunately, Yan Wenwen just said calmly, "You two have asked for leave. The teacher ordered me around today. I am exhausted."

There seemed to be three people in the room, and all three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But why did you, the class monitor, and the student committee member take leave at the same time?" Yan Wenwen asked with some suspicion.

This reminded Yu Yu, and she recalled that during the previous exam, Xu Cheng took her out to play and took sick leave with her.

This time, he and Lin Wanzhou took sick leave together... But Xu Cheng's illness seemed real. If you think about it this way, could it be that the two of them did something contagious and infected each other?

"I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence." Xu Cheng smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily, "Lin Wanzhou has always had a poor immune system and lacks exercise..."

boom.

A strange sound came from the curtains, and the attention of the three people in the living room was immediately drawn to it.

Yan Wenwen's eyes widened a little, and she asked curiously, "Is there anyone else at home, squad leader?"

Yu Yu's eyes also switched back and forth between the curtains and Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng coughed twice, reminding Lin Wanzhou that he was helping her hide it, then smiled and waved at the two of them, "It's okay, it's okay, it might be a mouse in the house. I've been hearing strange noises these past few days."

"Rat?!" Yan Wenwen raised her feet in fear, fearing that the rat on the ground would run up her trouser legs and onto her. She felt very uncomfortable sitting on the sofa.

He didn't even have the intention to bring them together, so he just spoke to Xu Cheng reluctantly.

"Class monitor, let's take our leave first. We still have evening self-study to attend..."

Xu Cheng thought to himself that that was great, and there was indeed a look of reluctance on his face.

"OK then."

He stood up and saw them off.

Before Yu Yu left, he asked Xu Cheng if she wanted her to bring Xiaobai over to help catch mice. Xiaobai is quite good at catching mice.

Xu Cheng half-closed the door, smiled and shook his head, "No, no, I can catch this rat myself..."

The boy felt the hand pinching his soft flesh on his waist and said helplessly...

Chapter 294 Lin Wanzhou’s Heart Knot

As the sky gradually darkened, lights were turned on sporadically in rows upon rows of windows in the community.

Because he had evening self-study, Lin Wanzhou did not go home.

She was afraid of running into her mother when she got home. If she was asked why she left school early, her mother would definitely find out that she had not been in school and had been fooling around with Xu Cheng all day.

I had no choice but to stay at Xu Cheng's house for the time being, and huddle with him on the sofa in the living room.

There was no light on, so the room was dark.

A day of intravenous infusion in the hospital made both of them a little tired. After lying down on the sofa, neither of them wanted to move any more.

"Xu Cheng, it's getting dark, go turn on the light."

The girl's legs that were resting on the armrest of the sofa moved slightly, and her slender, round calves rubbed lightly twice on Xu Cheng's arm that was suspended in the air.

Xu Cheng lay motionless on the sofa like a dead pig.

"I don't want to move. Besides, I'm a patient now. You should turn on the light..."

Lin Wanzhou ignored him and stared at the dark ceiling with wide eyes.

She loves to sleep in during the weekends, so she often wakes up at this time.

That was how it was then. It was already completely dark, and my parents were still working overtime and had not come home yet. I got out of bed and opened the bedroom door, and there was no light in the house.

It might have been just an hour past dinner time, and I was alone in a dark house without a single light, while outside there were lights from thousands of houses.

Standing by the window looking down.

There are couples who just finished their meal and took their children out, lovers who made plans to go out and play together, and office workers who just got off work with a briefcase in their left hand and a bag of vegetables in their right hand...

At this time, the darkness in the room seemed to carry a kind of loneliness that was enough to crush one's soul, making one feel gloomy and confused.

That was also the time that Lin Wanzhou hated the most.

She had to turn on all the lights in the house to feel her depression alleviated a little.

But at this moment.

Although the environment was almost the same, there was no light and everything in front of me was dark.

The girl never felt that way again.

Perhaps it was because she knew that, across the darkness, there was a pig's head lying on another sofa.

From time to time, she would rub her calves against his arms. The warmth of the boy's arms and his slight tremors in response would bring the girl enough comfort.

His existence made Lin Wanzhou feel that even if she rotted in the darkness, she would not feel the same disgusting gloomy feeling as before.

Instead, there was a sweet feeling of listening to each other's breathing, chatting about interesting things at school from time to time, and then giggling together.

The darkness before my eyes seemed to add a different kind of hazy flavor to this sweetness.

This made them like two lonely travelers, exiled into space together, but because of each other's presence, no one felt lonely, and they just stuck to the adjacent sofas without moving.

Lin Wanzhou felt that this way of resting, which allowed both body and mind to relax at the same time, was much more effective than simply sleeping alone at home.

She began to become addicted to the feeling of resting with Xu Cheng, and secretly prayed that such dusk hours would last a little longer.

"I heard from my mother that she will be going abroad for training in a few days..." the girl muttered to herself.

Xu Cheng pricked up his ears.

"Training?"

"Yes, it's an overseas training organized by the company."

"How long will the training take?"

"From what she said, it will take about half a year..."

"Doesn't that mean your mother won't be at home for the next six months?"

Xu Cheng's tone gradually became excited, as if he had untied some insurmountable constraint.

The girl wanted to step on this guy's face with her feet.

"Hey, what are you so happy about?"

"Ahem, I don't have any."

"Really? I won't be able to see my mother for half a year. Is this really so happy?"

Although the girl herself longs for a free life without her mother's constraints, she feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks about not being able to see her for such a long time.

Xu Cheng hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, Lin Wanzhou. Technology is so advanced nowadays. Even if you are far away, you can still have a video chat with your mother. You can use any chat app to do that."

"Chatting software...are you using QQ?"

Xu Cheng had never been abroad, and didn't know whether the Penguin network at that time was compatible with foreign countries. "I don't know about QQ, but MSN is definitely OK."

"What is MSN? I don't understand. You can come to my house and help me fix it when the time comes."

"Well, leave it to me."

The room was quiet for a while. Lin Wanzhou swung his calves in the air for a while. Feeling that the darkness in front of him had become extremely thick, he rubbed Xu Cheng's arm twice.

"Go turn on the light, I can't see anything now."

"I'm too lazy to go."

"Go quickly, I will reward you when you go." The girl knew that this trick was very effective. Xu Cheng always liked to be rewarded by her, so he would definitely go if she said so.

This was indeed the case. I soon heard the creaking of the sofa, then the sound of slippers rubbing against the floor, and then I heard Xu Cheng standing up from the sofa.

But he wasn't walking towards the light switch; he was walking towards her.

The girl hadn't reacted yet and could hardly see anything, but she just felt herself being embraced in his arms. Her body instantly became warm, and she could feel Xu Cheng's hot breath on her neck and ears, which made her feel itchy.

"What, what? Who allowed you to reward yourself in advance?!" The girl was surprised and delighted. A hug should be unexpected to be exciting.

Xu Cheng's voice was low and domineering. "You just reminded me. You cheated me out of so many rewards before. This time I want to get them all back."

"what?"

The girl couldn't stop panicking.

If she wanted to get back all the times she had been touched before, wouldn't her entire body be rubbed raw by this guy?

"Are you trying to force me to sleep?"

The girl's sudden words frightened Xu Cheng so much that he trembled all over. He sat very straight, looking like a soldier in a summer camp.
