Rebirth: Growing Up Together

But before she could ask any questions, the boy was already humming softly to her.

“The years are worth remembering.”

"Nostalgic."

"Shy red face..."

It was obviously him who was singing, but she blushed beside him, as red as a ripe apple on a branch, making people want to take a small bite and taste the girl's youthful sweetness.

……

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

"Is everyone here?"

On the school playground where several buses were parked, Xu Cheng, the class monitor, simply counted the volunteers in his class and let them get on the buses.

Because Yu Yu signed up, Yan Wenwen also signed up for the event.

The two of them ran to the toilet, and by the time they got on the bus, there were only two people sitting in the last row.

The two of them sat down in the last row.

"Yeah yeah yeah, that's great, I don't have to go to class again."

Yan Wenwen sat on the outer seat with a relaxed look on her face, her legs trembling with pride. Yu Yu, who was sitting on the inside, tried to dissuade her in a low voice.

"Wenwen...you failed the last exam again..."

"Oh, I'm not as smart as you. It's my fault for not studying well."

"We are all in our third year of high school..."

"Oh, it's okay. My mom has planned it for me."

Yan Wenwen said in a loud voice, "After the college entrance examination, I will apply for a law major, and then take the selection examination after graduation. If I fail, I can still take over my father's unit."

Selection? Succession?

Yu Yu listened to these unfamiliar words in a daze.

But she doesn't understand, there are many girls around her who understand these things.

After hearing Yan Wenwen's words, Li Lihua, who was sitting in front, turned around and interrupted.

"Wenwen, I heard that civil servants have very low salaries. Do you want to take that exam?"

"Yes, yes."

"Why take that exam? A month's salary isn't even enough to buy a new set of clothes."

"That's right, I will definitely not take the exam in the future."

"Then what do you learn?"

"Study civil engineering. My cousin is studying that. I heard that the salary after graduation is very high."

"I remember experts said psychology is also a good job now..."

"Tell me details."

There was a constant chattering in the bus, and because the weather was hot today, the carriage was as noisy as boiling water.

Many people shouted at the driver to turn on the air conditioner, but the driver seemed not to hear them and remained motionless.

Xu Cheng was the last one to get on the bus.

Seeing the chaotic scene in the carriage, he frowned and shouted.

"Everyone be quiet"

His words were effective and the car soon became quiet.

The driver glanced at the boy with some surprise.

This is certainly not the first time he has done this kind of work.

In the past, there were often school activities that required drivers, so he picked up a lot of students.

But this is the first time I have seen a situation where a person can rely on his personal authority to quickly quiet down the entire carriage with just a few words.

You have to know that there are students from more than one class sitting in the bus. In previous years, even if there were many teachers maintaining order, there were often students who refused to obey.

However, some people despised Xu Cheng's behavior, and several people huddled behind their seats and whispered.

"Why are you pretending to be so awesome? You're just the student council president."

"Yes."

The voices were so quiet that no one heard the discussion.

"Master, the weather is quite hot today. I brought you a bottle of water when I came up just now." Xu Cheng enthusiastically picked up the mineral water in his hand and handed it to the driver.

"Oh, thank you, thank you." The driver took it with a smile, and his opinion of the young man suddenly became much higher.

At this time, Xu Cheng lay on the passenger seat and looked out the window again.

Because the school gate was not big and many classes had not yet assembled, the several buses parked in the playground could not get out for half a day, so we could only sit in the car and wait.

"Why can't we leave yet?" the boy frowned.

The driver unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few sips of water.

"These teachers don't have good organizational skills. When I was at No. 6 Middle School, we had just driven past them and they were able to leave immediately. It took no more than five minutes..."

The driver was a talkative person and Xu Cheng listened patiently beside him, occasionally asking about details out of curiosity.

He waited until he finished listening before asking with a smile.

"Master, I see the cars ahead haven't left yet. We still have to wait for a long time. Why don't we turn up the air conditioner? Otherwise, the students won't get heatstroke while waiting."

"alright."

The driver didn't say much and agreed politely.

As soon as the air conditioner was turned on, the temperature in the car dropped immediately. The students who had been frowning and fanning themselves with their hands just now, now lay down comfortably on their seats.

The carriage was quiet for a while, and suddenly some students started talking and pointing out the window.

"Look over there, look over there."

"what happened?"

The busybody suddenly hit the left side of the car window.

"Why is there a quarrel over there?"

“Is he a student?”

"Isn't that Lao Zhou, the student council member of Class 3?"

"I'll do it."

The students who heard the noise all looked towards the left window curiously. Some stood in the corridor of the carriage, while others knelt on the seats and looked out the left window.

On the bus parked nearby, the class monitor of Class 3 was pointing at the driver and arguing with him with a red face.

"What's going on?"

"Someone in my class said in the group that Lao Zhou asked to turn on the air conditioner, but the driver refused. As a result, they started arguing."

"Doesn't every car have air conditioning? Why not turn on the air conditioning for them?"

"Yes, why?"

"It's fuel consumption. The bus company has fuel consumption targets, and the driver has to pay for any excess."

“It’s still like this.”

"Do you think our driver turned on the air conditioner for free? If Xu Cheng hadn't told him to, he wouldn't have turned it on."

"..."

The quarrel outside was quickly quelled by the Security Department. Many students were discussing the incident in their mobile phone groups. There were also students in the car who were cursing and saying they were going to die of heat in the car.

At this time, on the bus that Xu Cheng was on, although it was not very obvious, many people looked at Xu Cheng with different colors in their eyes.

Although the conversation between him and the driver just now was not loud, the students in the car could hear it.

Even the few people who were talking about Xu Cheng at the beginning looked at each other awkwardly and stopped talking.

A busload of students sat quietly on their seats, enjoying the cool breeze, and the bus in front finally began to drive out of the campus one by one.

The car Xu Cheng was in also made a rumbling sound, and the car turned around and drove out of the school gate.

At first, everyone was a little surprised by the scenery outside the window, but after a while, the students instinctively felt sleepy in their seats and began to doze off.

Yan Wenwen stealthily poked her head into the corridor of the carriage, looked left and right, then glanced in the direction of Xu Cheng and retracted her head.

"Why don't I see the student council?"

"Congee?"

"Yes, don't all class leaders have to attend?"

"She took a leave today...her mother returned home this morning." Yu Yu explained.

"That's it."

Yan Wenwen thought for a few seconds, then under Yu Yu's strange look, she unbuckled the seat belt around her waist and walked out of her seat.

"Wenwen, what are you doing?" Seeing her go out, Yu Yu asked in a low voice.

Yan Wenwen did not answer.

He walked alone, trembling, holding on to the rows of seats, to the front of the carriage and stood in front of the tall Xu Cheng.

"Monitor, monitor." She poked at Xu Cheng who was checking the list on the seat.

Xu Cheng raised his head and looked at her strangely.

"what happened?"

"Um... I feel a little carsick, can you let me sit in the front?"

"……Fine."

Xu Cheng himself was prone to motion sickness, but since his female classmate wanted it, he couldn't say anything and just agreed reluctantly.

"Thank you, squad leader. Long live the squad leader!" Yan Wenwen said with a smile.

Xu Cheng unbuckled the seat belt around his waist and asked, "Where did you sit?"

Yan Wenwen pointed to the back of the carriage.

"there."

……

Yu Yu sat in his seat, wondering why Yan Wenwen went out, and from time to time he stuck his head out to look forward.

However, when she saw Xu Cheng stand up and walk towards her, her heart skipped a beat and she had a guess.

Bad…so bad…Wenwen.

Of course the girl understood her thoughts.

She lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to look up and meet the gaze of Xu Cheng who was walking towards her. Soon she felt a figure as tall as a mountain sitting down beside her.

The feeling of sitting next to Xu Cheng is very different from that of Yan Wenwen.

Xu Cheng was like a bear, making the girl feel that the space inside her had become much smaller, as if she was isolated from the world.

His body is also hot.

The girl originally felt that the air conditioning was a bit cold, but after he sat down next to her, the burning body temperature came over her and dispelled the chillness from her body.

"Yu Yu, are you sitting here too?" Xu Cheng greeted Yu Yu who was sitting next to him.

Yu Yu, who was pretending to look out the window, turned around, glanced at him, and said "hmm" softly, as a greeting.

The girl was very embarrassed to appear close to Xu Cheng in front of other people.

But when he looked around, because they were in the last row and many people were sleeping and not looking in their direction, he felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.

But it's really crowded.

She always felt like she was being squeezed by a wall, with her thighs and arms inevitably sticking to him.
