Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Her clothes stuck to her body, perfectly outlining the beautiful curve behind her, like a crescent moon.

Xu Cheng also squatted down with her, opened the shoe box next to her, and took out the pair of shiny silver French stiletto heels that were stored inside.

The upper is covered with sparkling rhinestones and has a big bow with a four-leaf clover pattern, making it look like a crystal shoe.

The strong princess style made Xu Cheng instantly understand why Lin Wanzhou liked this pair of shoes so much that as soon as her mother left, she quickly stole them and put them in her room.

Such a pair of shoes can really fulfill a girl's princess dream.

"These can't be your mother's wedding shoes, Lin Wanzhou. They look like they are meant to be worn with a wedding dress."

"No way, I can wear this dress too."

"Then I'll help you put it on."

The young man enthusiastically volunteered, so Lin Wanzhou did not refuse. She sat on the bed, shook off her slippers, and slightly poked out her small feet wrapped in black stockings.

Xu Cheng also knelt on one knee, with one hand gently resting on the sole of the girl's feet. The unique feeling made him unable to help but rub it twice.

He held the shoe with his other hand and put it on the girl's toes first. The shoe fit perfectly, and the girl's small sole and the shoe upper matched almost perfectly, as if they were tailor-made.

The entire sole of the foot is covered by the shoe, and finally the heel is gently lifted up, and the shoe is perfectly worn on the girl's foot. Finally, a thin silver metal buckle is fastened on the girl's slender ankle.

Lin Wanzhou just watched quietly with a slightly blushing face, feeling her feet covered by the soft leather. At this time, she secretly glanced at Xu Cheng and saw his focused and serious expression. She felt that he really was like a handsome prince, and she seemed to be his princess.

If you think about it this way, when the girl saw the Prince Charming since she was a child and fantasized about him in her mind, the prince's face always seemed to be Xu Cheng.

"The other one."

Xu Cheng stretched out his hand, and the girl obediently handed her feet to him. He held her small feet and put on the other shoe.

"Okay, get up and give it a try."

There was a full-length mirror in the girl's room. She tried to stand up when she heard that. Some girls would have exaggerated blood vessels on the back of their feet when wearing high heels.

Xu Cheng paid special attention to it and found that Lin Wanzhou did not have that problem. Even though the arch of her foot was obviously tense, she still looked graceful and natural like a beauty.

"Hold me on." The girl stretched out her hand to Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng moved closer and let her hold him.

The two of them walked slowly towards the full-length mirror. Stepping on the soft carpet, Xu Cheng suddenly felt like he was walking out of a wedding hall.

Lin Wanzhou stood in front of the mirror with a look of joy in her eyes.

She feels extremely happy every time she wears this pair of shoes. However, in the past, she always staggered to the full-length mirror. But today, there is someone who can support her.

She stood in front of the mirror and walked around for a long time before returning to the bed and reluctantly taking off her shoes.

This process was like time had passed, and Cinderella turned from a shining princess into an inconspicuous girl.

But there are differences.

The girl sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs gently. She glanced at Xu Cheng who was sitting next to her, and she didn't feel unhappy at all.

When Cinderella changed back, the prince was not with her.

The boy raised his wrist to check the time. "Let me see. It's almost ten o'clock. Time to go to bed. Time to go to bed. Do you want to take a shower first or should I?"

"You... are shameless!" Lin Wanzhou almost blurted out the words "You first".

Without even discussing it with her, this guy wanted to sleep in her house.

The girl felt more and more that the fact that he tried so hard to persuade her to stay was the biggest conspiracy this summer.

"You, you go back to your own home and sleep... Even if no one is at home, we can't be too reckless..."

The girl thought, if the two of them slept together on the first day her father passed away, what would happen in the next few months... She didn't even dare to think about it.

"never mind"

Xu Cheng comforted the girl and said, "It's not the first time we've slept together. Don't you know how much of a gentleman I am?"

The girl felt something was wrong.

It seems that she suffers a lot every time she sleeps with him. If he is a gentleman, doesn't that mean she is a female hooligan?

Xu Cheng beside him continued to persuade him.

"I'm just worried that you'd be scared sleeping alone. It's such a big room, and you're sleeping alone in the dark. If you're scared and can't sleep, how would you have the energy to go to work tomorrow?"

"..."

There are some things that you won’t think about if you don’t mention them, and you won’t be afraid if you don’t think about them. But if someone mentions them, you will think about them, and the more you think about them, the more afraid you will be, until you forget them.

Lin Wanzhou's expression changed.

"Then you can sleep in another room... I have many rooms in my house."

"Okay then." Xu Cheng compromised reluctantly.

He thought that as long as he could stay, Lin Wanzhou could stop him wherever he wanted to sleep.

"Who of us should take a shower first? I'm a little sleepy, Lin Wanzhou."

"But I want to wash my hair first today."

"Isn't taking a shower just washing your hair?"

"Of course not."

The girl looked at Xu Cheng like he was a fool. "Washing hair is washing hair, taking a bath is taking a bath, these are different."

Xu Cheng felt that this kind of thing could not be communicated clearly to the girl, and this issue was naturally a gap between boys and girls.

After all, two people can't take a shower together, and neither one knows how the other takes a shower. It's similar to a kind of information cocoon.

Finally, it was decided that Xu Cheng would go wash first, while the girl sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched TV. Listening to the sound of splashing water, her imagination was rich, and the scene on TV in front of her eyes suddenly changed into a strange scenery.

The girl's face felt hot when she saw it.

How could she imagine this?

Is she really a female hooligan?

Absolutely not anymore!Just curious, just curious. After all, she has never seen many parts of Xu Cheng's body. Even fantasy can only be replaced by a burst of mist.

Or maybe it was his appearance as a child. She had seen him everywhere when he was a child.

The cell phone suddenly rang, and the note on it read "Mom". The girl quickly picked up the phone and answered it.

Gao Manman on the other end of the phone had just gotten up. After all, they were several time zones apart. She and Lin Wanzhou had agreed to call each other at this time every day, and there was almost no chance to contact each other at other times.

"Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"I just had dinner. There are a lot of hamburgers and cakes here. You young people like them, but people of our generation are not used to eating them."

"I don't like those either. I still like the breakfast you make, mom."

The girl quietly acted coquettishly to her mother. Gao Manman smiled on the other end of the phone and began to care about her daughter.

"Is your father on a business trip today?"

"Yeah, I left this morning."

"So you're staying home alone tonight?"

"...Yeah." The girl agreed with a guilty conscience.

"Then remember to close the doors and windows before going to bed, and check whether the gas valve is closed..." Gao Manman began to instruct her "living alone" daughter on the other end of the phone.

As they were talking, Xu Cheng came out of the bathroom, wiping his still wet hair and greeted them loudly.

"Lin Wanzhou, I've finished washing the porridge. You can go wash it quickly."

The boy was very recognizable, with a pleasant, slightly magnetic voice that echoed throughout the living room.

On the other end of the phone, Gao Manman, who was speaking, suddenly stopped talking.

On the other end of the phone, the girl sitting cross-legged on the sofa quickly wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Chapter 301 But She Said I Didn’t

"Auntie, are you used to everything over there?"

Xu Cheng moved closer to the phone and greeted Gao Manman in a very enthusiastic tone.

"Xu Cheng, you are here too..." There was nothing unusual in Gao Manman's voice on the phone.

Lin Wanzhou covered his face with one hand and sat on the sofa in a duck-like posture.

Being familiar with her mother, she could already hear the anger on the other end of the line.

This is the relationship between most children and adults. If they do something small wrong, they may dare to argue with adults, but if they do something big wrong, they often just dare to lower their heads and accept the criticism.

At least that was the case until I went to college.

Lin Wanzhou, who usually dared to argue with her mother over trivial matters, felt weak and limp at this moment, without any strength in her body.

She was telling her mother that she was spending the night alone at home one second, and the next second Xu Cheng was discovered taking a shower at home.

Now she'd be lucky if her mother didn't fly back from across the ocean to arrest her.

"What a coincidence, Aunt Gao! My water heater is broken, so I don't have hot water for my shower today. So I came to your house to borrow your bathroom to take a shower."

Xu Cheng said without blushing, and asked the person on the other end of the phone in a particularly surprised tone, "What's wrong, Auntie? Didn't Zhou Zhou tell you I was there?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, so Xu Cheng just laughed and said.

"Maybe I made her angry today, so she didn't say anything." He explained like this, then grabbed the girl's hand and winked at her.

The girl is also very smart.

She and Xu Cheng are a perfect match, and sometimes they can understand what the other wants to do at a glance.

So the little face that looked as if she had lost her parents just now suddenly showed a cold look.

"Have you finished washing? If you are done, leave now. I don't want to talk to you..."

Gao Manman's voice of persuasion came from the phone.

"Zhou Zhou, what's wrong with you? You have no manners at all. Don't talk to Xu Cheng like that..."

Although she was scolded by her mother, the girl did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, she felt fortunate. Being scolded for such a thing was simply a huge win.

After Gao Manman finished teaching Lin Wanzhou a lesson, she changed the subject and called Xu Cheng.

"Xu Cheng, your uncle Lin is on a business trip these days, and your aunt can't come back either. There's no one at home, so you should take good care of Zhou Zhou. After all, she's a girl alone at home."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm not as petty as her...hiss."

Hearing this guy taking the opportunity to say that she was narrow-minded, the girl of course disagreed. She quietly reached out her hand to his waist and pinched it lightly symbolically.

Xu Cheng grabbed the naughty little hand, and it felt smooth and tender in his palm.

The girl blushed instantly.

She was already used to holding hands, so she wasn't embarrassed by it.

Just talking to my mother on the phone while secretly holding hands with Xu Cheng on the other end, I felt indescribable excitement, and adrenaline was rapidly secreted in my body.

"Xu Cheng, why is your water heater broken? Auntie knows a friend, how about asking him to fix it for you?"

Faced with another wave of temptation from Gao Manman, Xu Cheng agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, Auntie, please ask him when he is free tomorrow. I'm having a headache over this issue."

The girls nearby were all dumbfounded.

This bad guy really has some potential to be an actor. He tells lies so naturally. She has to be on guard in the future. What if she calls him and he holds another girl's hand on the other end of the phone...

The girl became inexplicably angry just thinking about this scene.

If this happens, he must be chopped off.

Not chop hands.

"Auntie, don't worry about you being there, and let uncle work with peace of mind. Don't worry about Zhou Zhou. I will definitely protect her and will not let any bad guys bully her." Xu Cheng said righteously.

The girl pouted and rubbed her little butt on the sofa. Her five nimble fingers also slipped into the gaps between Xu Cheng's fingers, and her hands were clasped together.

The moment I heard him promise to protect me, my heart warmed.

But her little mouth would never admit that she was touched, and she just hummed hesitantly.

"You are the worst one..."
