Rebirth: Growing Up Together

The sun has set halfway, and the clouds are still embedded with golden edges.

The diluted evening light was thin and bright, and all fell into Lin Wanzhou's eyes.

Xu Cheng held the bag of vegetables in his hand and opened his arms to embrace the evening breeze.

"Lin Wanzhou, do you feel that the feeling of going home after school together is different now than usual?"

"Have it……"

The girl glanced calmly at the boy walking on the side of the road, and her heart was shocked.

They really have a tacit understanding!

Along the way, Lin Wanzhou has always had this feeling.

The feeling was completely different from going home together after school as usual. After school, both of them clearly understood that they would go back to the community together and then go back to their respective homes.

But after get off work together, they would go home together, buy groceries together, and then they would cook together, eat together, and spend several hours together in the kitchen. Maybe Xu Cheng, the shameless guy, would shamelessly stay at her house without adults to supervise them, and maybe they would even sleep together...

As the girl thought about it, her face began to turn slightly red. Fortunately, the sunset was orange-red, which reflected on her face and helped her cover it up perfectly.

"Xu Cheng and Zhou Zhou are back. Where did you two go to play?" The elder sister who lived upstairs in the nearby residential area greeted them enthusiastically when she saw them.

In her arms was a little girl who was less than a year old. She looked very tender and chubby. When she saw Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou, she happily crawled in her mother's arms and stretched out her little hands towards them with a smile.

"Oh~ it's my brother and sister..."

No matter how they grow up, humans are super cute animals in their cub form.

Lin Wanzhou has already liked it very much.

She looked at the baby's big eyes which were shining brightly, and the baby also looked at her with shining eyes. The girl stretched out her hand several times but put it down at a loss. She wanted to interact with the baby but didn't know how to do it.

Xu Cheng was much more familiar than her. He clapped his hands at the baby, and the baby giggled happily.

Looking at the little baby kicking his feet gently, Xu Cheng suddenly felt that time was passing quickly.

Only new life can make people feel the power of time most intuitively.

He clearly remembered that in his original life trajectory, this sister was the king of children in the community. Because she was the oldest, all the children in the community liked to play with her.

When he was in kindergarten, she was in elementary school. When he was in elementary school, she was in high school... Now that he is in high school, his sister already has her own children.

Xu Cheng couldn't help feeling melancholy. Perhaps when her child grew up, he would become old again.

But think about it from another perspective. When her child grows up, maybe he and Lin Wanzhou will have a whole litter of children. If that happens, it would be quite exciting.

The older sister upstairs coaxed the struggling child in her arms, and seeing that she was still reaching out to the two of them, she asked them with a smile.

"The baby likes you guys very much. Do you want to hold him for a while?"

"Can, can I?" Lin Wanzhou, who was already overflowing with maternal love, looked at her elder sister flattered.

"Of course, she's very easy to hold. Come on, Zhou Zhou."

The elder sister smiled gently and handed the baby in her arms to Lin Wanzhou.

The girl stretched out her arms nervously, feeling like she was holding a soft little toy in her arms. Although it was a little heavy, it felt great.

Is this a human cub?

Well, I really want to make a bunch of them quickly!

"Can you just hold it here?" the little girl asked cautiously.

She was afraid that she would hurt the baby by holding her too tightly, and she was also afraid that she would not hold her tightly enough and drop her to the ground.

The sister upstairs smiled and said, "It's okay, you can hold me any way you want."

Xu Cheng also comforted her, "Don't worry, Lin Wanzhou, babies over six months old can be held in any position."

After they said this, Lin Wanzhou hugged her more naturally.

The baby curled up in the girl's arms and scratched Lin Wanzhou's cheek with his tender little hands.

The girl, with eyes full of excitement, also applied the stickers on her face. She had no makeup on her face, so there was no need to worry about irritating her skin. It just felt so tender and comfortable.

"She likes Zhou Zhou very much. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and she's not afraid of strangers at all."

"laugh."

The girl felt proud, thinking that being liked by the baby seemed to be a very remarkable physique.

Didn't he want Xu Cheng to hug him because he didn't see her? He only wanted her to hug him.

The girl became curious when she felt the baby in her arms raise his hands as if he was looking for something.

"Sister, what is she doing now?"

"You must be hungry."

The elder sister upstairs smiled and reached out to take it from the girl's arms, "Come here, mom, I don't have it."

Realizing what she said, the girl handed the baby back with a bit of embarrassment and a sense of inferiority.

What do you mean, sister has no...

Just because there isn’t one now doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future!

"Sister, what's the baby's name?"

"Her father and I both hope that she can study hard in the future, so we called her 'Study'." The older sister upstairs said lightly.

"???"

The girl felt very shocked.

How can someone be called to study?

Is this too casual???

After saying goodbye to her elder sister and following Xu Cheng into the residential area, the girl dared to whisper to Xu Cheng.

"This name is too random."

Xu Cheng, who is well aware of the routines of later generations, does not think it is strange. "In the future, there will definitely be more weird names given by parents born in the 90s. This can be considered a trend."

"People born in the 90s have started to give random names, what about those born in the 00s?"

“People born after 00 don’t have children.”

Lin Wanzhou didn't understand Xu Cheng's strange words and just thought about things on her own.

"I can't name my child like that anyway."

"How?"

The girl rubbed her chin in thought, "At least it can't be called Xuexi, Xu Xuexi... that sounds too weird."

"Xu?"

"No, that's not the point!" the girl hurriedly emphasized.

Isn’t this the point?!

The corners of Xu Cheng's mouth twitched, and in order to save the girl's face, he did not continue to question her on this issue.

"By the way, I forgot to ask the baby's last name." Lin Wanzhou suddenly said.

Xu Cheng thought for a while, "I remember the child's father's name was Bu something..."

"So put them together and it's..."

"Bu study."

"..."

With almost no discussion, the two of them returned to Lin Wanzhou's home together in tacit understanding.

They squeezed into the house together, taking off their shoes and changing into slippers. When the girl turned on the light and the dark living room was lit up, an unspeakable feeling suddenly emerged in her heart.

It’s a room that only belongs to her and Xu Cheng!

The soft light in the living room enveloped only the two of them.

This feeling was felt when the two of them cooked together and brought the hot meals to the table. Then Xu Cheng reminded her to help get the chopsticks, and she asked Xu Cheng if he wanted to get an extra small bowl.

Finally we sat together at the dining table.

Lin Wanzhou picked up a piece of mushroom with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted salty and fragrant at first, and then the aroma of the mushroom itself lingered in his mouth.

"good to eat."

The girl was delighted from the bottom of her heart.

Although it is just such an ordinary life, there are still dozens of days and nights like this!

It’s just such ordinary days and nights that I will never get tired of them even after a year, ten years, or even a lifetime.

Pouring the Coke into the goblet, Xu Cheng held the glass elegantly, placed his elbows on the table, and shook it gently towards Lin Wanzhou as if he was clinking red wine.

"Unravel the silk."

The girl who was sipping the Coke was shy for a second or two, then with blushing cheeks she extended her delicate arm forward and wrapped it around Xu Cheng's arm. What had just been a Western-style clinking of glasses suddenly turned into a Chinese-style drinking ceremony.

Xu Cheng was stunned for a few seconds, but without correcting himself, he leaned over and drank the Coke in one gulp.

The girl also leaned her head forward. The carbon dioxide in the cup was jumping around like the deer in her chest.

After having a full meal and a few drinks, the two of them leaned lazily on their chairs, looking quite relaxed.

It wasn't intentional. Because of the way they were sitting, their feet were stretched forward under the table and were vaguely touching each other.

"Lin Wanzhou, um... didn't you say you would wear a uniform for me to see?" Xu Cheng stepped on the ground with his heels, and his big feet lightly touched the girl's small feet wrapped in white socks twice.

"I didn't say I'd regret it. Why are you in such a hurry? Wash the dishes first."

After hearing what she said, the boy who didn't want to move just now suddenly became full of energy.

After he washed the dishes with great anticipation and knocked on Lin Wanzhou's bedroom door, he saw Lin Wanzhou wearing a thick green and white winter school uniform and fell into deep thought.

"Lin Wanzhou, this style of play is too advanced for me, right?"

"What do you mean by play? I, this is also a uniform, I'm not kidding you."

"It's a scam! It's definitely a scam!"

Xu Cheng approached the girl angrily, "It's covered tightly, what do you want me to see? Liars will be punished, Lin Wanzhou..."

Seeing him getting closer and closer with a threatening tone, the girl was afraid that she would be punished by being pressed on the bed and spanked, so she quickly pushed him away.

"Okay, okay, I...I'll change, you go out first."

Xu Cheng was pushed out of the door and heard the door being closed with a bang, and then the sound of the door being locked.

He walked around the living room twice, thinking that the girl would not just stay in the bedroom and not come out. While he was sitting on the sofa eating two bananas, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

The young man immediately looked towards the direction of Lin Wanzhou's bedroom, and saw a girl in a black pleated skirt slowly walking out of the bedroom. The hem of the skirt just reached her knees, and her slender and smooth calves were wrapped in a pair of shiny and deep black stockings, which went all the way to the girl's jade feet in slippers.

The upper body is a white T-shirt with lace and puff sleeves, which highlights the girl's charming waist. The neckline is trimmed in a lotus leaf shape, highlighting her slender white neck. The not-so-obvious rise and fall on the chest adds a bit of youthfulness and cuteness to this mature outfit.

The girl's hair was also spread out, and the soft brown hair exuded a charming charm. Seeing that Xu Cheng was still looking at her, the girl shyly used her left ring finger to wrap around the ends of her hair from time to time, making her look more charming.

"Does it look good?"

"No one is more beautiful than you."

"Humph."

The girl hummed softly without leaving any trace, feeling very happy in her heart.

"Lin Wanzhou, your socks are so transparent, are you going to be exposed? Are you wearing safety pants?"

"No, why are you wearing safety pants at home? What's wrong? Do you want to see it?"

"Where are you looking?"

"Under the skirt."

The girl grasped the hem of her skirt with her two small hands, and Xu Cheng smiled awkwardly with dry mouth.

"Is this okay to watch?"

He was a little embarrassed.

After all, Lin Wanzhou used to be poor and stingy, but today he suddenly became generous. He, who always acted like a gangster, couldn't quite adapt to the rhythm of Lin Wanzhou who suddenly joined the evil and chaotic camp.

"It's okay to show you. Do you want to see it?"
