Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Lin Wanzhou's eyes were filled with excitement.

She didn't particularly want to watch Xu Cheng play football. Everything was just an excuse to deceive Guo Zining.

What's so interesting about playing football? She doesn't even want to watch even when Xu Cheng begs her to.

but……

For the sake of her good friend's lifelong event, she had to accompany Guo Zining no matter what!

The two of them, caring about each other, walked towards the playground together.

Unlike the campus that was empty in an instant after the holidays in the past, there was still some bustle and noise along the way, and many students from other schools came to watch the game played at No. 1 Middle School's home stadium.

"Do you want to buy a bottle of water, Zhou Zhou..." Guo Zining reminded in time on the way to the playground.

“It’s impossible that their team is out of water, right?”

"It's different now. At halftime, go, go and give Xu Cheng a bottle of water. He will definitely be motivated in the second half."

Guo Zining had a good idea.

After all, this is how it’s played out in youth novels and romance movies: when the heroine gives the hero a bottle of water, he will become as vigorous and invincible as if he had taken medicine, and their relationship will be flourishing and inseparable.

Well, it’s all for Zhou Zhou’s feelings.

Even if she accompanied Lin Wanzhou there, she was worried that Zhouzhou would not be able to save face and it had nothing to do with Li Qiuyang.

"Oh...that makes sense." Lin Wanzhou agreed.

She thought that this plan of delivering water at halftime was super clever, and she could take Guo Zining along with her, which could be considered as helping to bring them together.

So, this was not her intention to deliver water to Xu Cheng, everything was just part of the plan.

They hurriedly bought a few bottles of water from the store next to the school, and then trotted to the playground.

The reason why he bought several bottles was that Guo Zining carefully reminded Lin Wanzhou that one bottle might not be enough.

After all, there are often scenes on TV of athletes washing their faces with a bottle of mineral water, which makes them look cool and sunny.

However, Lin Wanzhou just thought that he should buy a few more bottles of water so that he could ask Guo Zining to give a few bottles to Li Qiuyang.

Although she is not happy now, who can say what will happen next?

The two of them sat down in the front seats, each with their own thoughts.

Guo Zining took a look at the court, then shook his head like a veteran fan.

"School-level games are just average. I watch those games on TV and there are cheerleaders cheering before the games. But they must be boring to play, so I'll just watch with you."

"There is also a cheerleading team?" Lin Wanzhou was curious.

"Yeah, it's the girls wearing miniskirts and knee-high socks, dancing before the game to cheer on the contestants."

"Mini skirt, knee-high socks..."

Lin Wanzhou thought about that outfit.

Does this really add oil?

She didn't know about others, but she was sure that if she wore a miniskirt and over-the-knee socks, revealing a small part of her white thighs to Xu Cheng, he would definitely hold his stomach and be unable to straighten his back, and would not have the strength to play football.

But then the girl was glad that there were no cheerleaders dancing here.

Otherwise, if Xu Cheng saw other girls dancing, she wouldn't know how many days it would take for her to get over her anger.

Just as I was thinking about it, the players from both teams lined up to go on the court and shook hands with each other.

The girl took a quick glance and immediately saw Xu Cheng wearing a red jersey with a striking number 10 written on it.

"Aning, I don't think Xu Cheng is that good. He's only ranked tenth in the team. There aren't many people on the team...Huh? Li Qiuyang is pretty good. He's ranked sixth."

Guo Zining followed the direction she pointed and glanced at Li Qiuyang's No. 6 jersey. The guy seemed to have seen her as well and looked in her direction. She quickly turned her head and talked to Lin Wanzhou with a slightly blushing face.

"That's not what I meant. The jersey numbers are just simple labels to make it easier for the referee to distinguish."

"Oh, so that's how it is. So this number has no special meaning?"

"No."

Guo Zining shook his head, thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"However, in the traditional sense, the number 1 jersey is usually worn by the goalkeeper, the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the team's defense, the number 7 is the team's sharp knife, like Cristiano Ronaldo wears number 7, the number 8 is the team's brain, the number 9 is the center forward, and the number 11 is the team's fast horse..."

Lin Wanzhou listened with great interest, "What about number 10? Why don't you say number 10?"

"It's hard to define the number 10, but generally only the most core players in the team can wear this jersey. Oh, do you know Messi? He wears number 10."

Lin Wanzhou, who knew nothing about sports, only half understood what he said.

She didn't remember anything else, but in short, she understood that the person wearing the No. 10 jersey meant he was the best player on the team.

Xu Cheng took this game very seriously and did not treat it with contempt at all.

He glanced at the audience and immediately saw the beautiful girl.

He only had time to smile and wave to her. When he turned his eyes to the ball again, he could always feel someone looking at him, a gaze coming from the audience.

There might be a lot of people looking at him, but he felt like he was standing in Lin Wanzhou's field of vision alone.

Oddly enough, the boy's strength suddenly became much greater than usual, his legs and feet were incredibly flexible, and his dribbling was incredibly smooth and easy.

Lin Wanzhou didn't understand all this. The ball was passed back and forth, but she didn't pay any attention to it. Her eyes were fixed on Xu Cheng.

Watch him rush through the defense of several people with the ball, watch him dodge the collision of several tall boys, watch him run forward at a speed far ahead of others, watch him suddenly shoot a long shot...

The cheers from the home team were like a tsunami, causing the girl's chest to rise and fall along with it.

She had never realized that a football game could be so thrilling. Every time the ball was passed to Xu Cheng's feet, she felt like she was about to jump up with excitement.

Although she was just a spectator, Lin Wanzhou felt that she had a strong sense of participation.

Every time Xu Cheng tried to shoot, the girl held her breath in nervous anticipation. Every time the ball was blocked or hit the goal frame, the girl beat her chest in anxiety.

Guo Zining explained to the girl what the opposing team's 442 defensive formation was and how it would be difficult to break through. The next second, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The ball was suddenly intercepted by a player from the Foreign Language School, and with the opponent's quick counterattack, it went into the net, and the Foreign Language School scored the first point.

Students from the Foreign Language School cheered in the stands and the players celebrated on the lawn.

Lin Wanzhou immediately confirmed with Guo Zining whether the other team scored first. After getting Guo Zining's confirmation, the girl felt extremely aggrieved and sad, and she even wanted to cry. She especially hoped that Xu Cheng would quickly score back the one point.

However, as Xu Cheng dribbled the ball smoothly again and again, he would always be bumped by several boys from the opposing school.

"What if they can't afford to play!" the girl said angrily.

Guo Zining was also very angry. "They saw that Xu Cheng was the most threatening one. He had shot the net several times, so they deliberately confronted him to affect his performance. It's disgusting."

"Isn't this against the rules?"

"That's the tactic. We have to fight you even at the risk of committing a foul. It's all about the physical strength of the players."

Finally, during a breakthrough, Xu Cheng was kicked in the calf by the opposing player and fell heavily on the grass.

The boy held his ankle in pain for a long time.

Lin Wanzhou, who was sitting in the audience, felt so heartbroken.

Her eyes were red with anger on her fair face, but she was afraid that others would see her and say that she was petty and couldn't afford to play tricks, so she secretly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and secretly hoped that Xu Cheng would quickly shoot the ball into the net to piss off the group of unsportsmanlike guys on the opposite side.

The referee blew the halftime whistle and the players from both teams went off to rest. Lin Wanzhou and Guo Zining ran to the No. 1 Middle School team's resting area.

Under the curious gazes of the players, Lin Wanzhou lowered his head embarrassedly and put the Pulse in Xu Cheng's hand, then looked up at him, who was covered in green weeds and sweating profusely.

"You weren't hurt just now?"

"It's okay. Although the opponent's attack was quite heavy, it's okay. I just need to move around a little bit."

Guo Zining glanced around unnaturally, and finally saw Li Qiuyang hiding in the back of the crowd.

The other person's eyes were obviously secretly looking at her, but he quickly looked away when she saw it.

She walked over quietly and pulled his clothes.

"Come here, I have something to tell you..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Hearing this, Guo Zining glared at him.

For some reason, Li Qiuyang suddenly became timid when he saw her look like that. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his neck, stood up and followed her away.

The two went to the corner behind the auditorium and stayed there for five or six minutes before coming out.

However, this time when he came out, the expression on his face had changed, which was obviously different from his previous state.

When he came on the field in the second half, Xu Cheng had time to ask him what Guo Zining had said.

This kid just smiled.

"hey-hey."

"She won't eat breakfast then."

"I was going to give it back to him."

"I was going to give it back to him..."

Chapter 325: The Perfect Fit of Two-Dimensional Meaning, the Answer of Three-Dimensional Space

"Aning, what did you say to Li Qiuyang?"

In the audience, Lin Wanzhou kicked Guo Zining's leg and asked.

Guo Zining's expression turned a little strange.

“No, nothing…”

She shook her head and stammered in her answer.

At this time, her chest also shook a few times. Lin Wanzhou was sitting on the side with an excellent observation position. He was very envious when he saw it.

With a whistle, the second half began.

The scattered students in the audience stopped chatting among themselves and all their attention was focused on the green field.

Seeing that the foreign language school had control of the ball from the beginning, Lin Wanzhou clenched his fists anxiously.

My sight found Xu Cheng who was running on the court. His hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair sticking up and swaying as he ran.

He did not rush to grab the ball, but kept observing and adjusting his position, waiting for the opportunity like a falcon ready to hunt.

The boy could always feel the vague gazes on him.

And the strange thing was, he knew that there was definitely more than one person looking at him, and he also knew that Lin Wanzhou might not be looking at him, but he could just feel a line connecting him from the girl's position in the audience.

Then, attributes such as speed, strength, and burst were continuously transmitted to him along that line.

It’s like using a cheat!

Finally, at a certain point in time, the boy suddenly burst out with extremely fast speed and snatched the ball from the opponent's feet.

There was immediate loud cheering from the sidelines. After all, this was No. 1 Middle School’s home court, and the students were very excited to see their own team start to counterattack.

Lin Wanzhou was also very excited.

She had just asked Guo Zining that the result of the game was based on the total score of the first and second half, which meant that as long as Xu Cheng could score two goals in the second half, No. 1 Middle School could still win the final victory.

So when there were cheers around her, she excitedly wanted to stand up and shout "Come on" to Xu Cheng.

Fortunately, the girl's modesty helped her control her physical impulses, but she could not control her hot and expectant eyes.

She didn't know what moves Xu Cheng used, nor could she understand them. She just felt that he was dribbling the ball very fast, and his movements were smooth and natural, so fast that people around him could hardly keep up with him even if they were just running.

The audience burst into cheers again.

At this moment, a particularly glorious emotion arose in Lin Wanzhou's heart.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to announce loudly to everyone around her: Do you see the fastest runner down there? That boy is mine!

"We're almost at the door, we're almost at the door..." Guo Zining didn't have the composure that Lin Wanzhou had, and he kept chattering and pointing down.

The arrogance of the old fans who looked down on ordinary games before the game has disappeared.

However, a crisis ensued. The boy who had been defending Xu Cheng in the first half rushed towards Xu Cheng.
