Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"My heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of my throat, and it's still beating now."

"Then let me listen..."

As he spoke, Xu Cheng put his head close to the girl's chest, pricked up his ears, and placed one half-clenched hand next to his ear, as if he really wanted to listen to her heartbeat.

Lin Wanzhou grabbed him by the ear and pushed him away in time.

"What the hell are you planning?!"

"Cough cough."

With a cough that was somewhat regretful and awkward, Xu Cheng suddenly remembered that now was not the time to be sentimental.

But after thinking about what Lin Wanzhou had just said, about the many problems caused by being frightened while sleeping, he was not afraid of frightening her, so he had to use a more tactful approach.

"No, Lin Wanzhou, something really happened. I didn't lie completely just now. I told half the truth and half a lie. Which one do you want to hear first?"

The girl's eyelids were half drooped because she was sleepy. Upon hearing that, she blinked twice in the direction of Xu Cheng.

"Are you crazy?"

"Oh, choose quickly."

"That's fake."

"Your mother is coming to arrest us."

The girl had just woken up and was still a little groggy and couldn't think straight.

"So really?"

"Your mother called me."

"……What do you mean?"

"Are you still sleepy now?"

"Say it!"

"Um, it's past one now. Your mom couldn't find you, so she just called and asked me where you were?"

After saying that, the girl's face sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her blood color faded a bit.

This world really follows the law of conservation of energy!

As much as she enjoyed being with Xu Cheng just now, she felt as panicked now.

That happiness must be returned eventually.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lin Wanzhou kicked Xu Cheng's thigh in dissatisfaction, then covered his face like a child who couldn't explain to an adult.

"Well... I'm going to die..."

no solution anymore.

Let Xu Cheng and her mother tell her that he will definitely marry her in the future. I guess only this way can her mother's anger be calmed down.

He mumbled to Xu Cheng about his thoughts.

The boy poked her between the eyebrows.

"Are you confused because of sleep or because of fear?"

"What's wrong? You don't want to marry me?"

Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng with an expression that was dozens of times more nervous than when her mother was about to arrest her.

The boy was helpless, "I didn't say I didn't want to, but it seems that girls can't get married at the age of 18..."

He knew that Lin Wanzhou's brain was still half-activated at this time.

It’s outrageous just to think about it.

He couldn't imagine how wonderful the expression on Gao Manman's face would be when he said these words to her.

And this is really the plan.

Wait until the summer vacation a few months later.

Others are still celebrating their graduation at class reunions after taking the college entrance examination and fantasizing about their future university life.

As for the two of them, they just held a grand banquet, walked on the flower path, wore wedding dresses, drank wedding wine, and imagined their married life.

We are several versions ahead of others and have saved ourselves at least decades of detours.

If you think so...

It seems pretty good!

"Xu Cheng, what did you say to my mother just now?" the girl asked nervously, grabbing Xu Cheng's arm.

"I didn't say anything. I just said my phone was out of battery and turned it off to buy you some time to think of a solution."

"You're smart."

The girl looked at him with admiration.

But then he became a little suspicious.

This guy is so skilled at doing bad things, right? He really isn't hooking up with someone else behind her back?

"Military Advisor Xu, what's your countermeasure?"

"My Lord, in my humble opinion, why don't you pretend that you fell on the way back and fainted in the bushes..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my mother believe this?"

"You're kidding. There's a road under construction in the neighborhood these days. Just pretend you fell there. Smear some mud and tree branches on your body... You can also tear your clothes a little to make it look more realistic."

"..."

"Do you want me to tear it for you?"

Xu Cheng put his hand on the girl’s T-shirt.

When she heard that he was about to tear her clothes, Lin Wanzhou quickly kicked him with her little feet like a rabbit kicking an eagle.

"What are you doing!"

"Well, I'm helping you."

"Who asked you for help? Besides, your idea is not reliable at all. What about falling in the bushes..."

"Too."

In Xu Cheng's opinion, Lin Wanzhou has always been a very clean girl. If she were really to be covered in mud and dirt, the girl would probably think it would be better to confront her mother directly.

The girl was muttering over there.

"What if my mom really believes it and goes to cause trouble for them? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble for others?"

"..."

Xu Cheng looked at Lin Wanzhou in surprise for a few seconds.

The girl noticed that he was looking at her. She felt a little embarrassed and looked away awkwardly.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Lin Wan Porridge."

"Ok?"

"I find that I still don't know you well enough."

"and then?"

"And then I think I like you even more."

"..."

Although the girl didn't know what he had learned, but when she heard him say that he liked her more and more, she felt excited and proud as if the two of them were getting closer step by step.

"Don't say such things at this time... Hurry up and think of another countermeasure."

Lin Wanzhou searched his empty pockets and remembered that his cell phone had run out of battery and was turned off, so he had left it in his bag.

No wonder her mother called Xu Cheng instead of her.

"Can you think of another solution?"

Xu Cheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, "How about pretending that you met a bad guy on your way home."

Lin Wanzhou blinked at him.

Somehow, the feeling of fear as if the sky was falling that I had felt when I first woke up and heard that my mother was coming to catch me suddenly disappeared.

Just lying on the sofa with legs hugged.

"What bad guy?"

"It's the kind where I have evil intentions because of your beauty. You don't need to dirty your clothes, you just need to tear them a little. I'll help you, I'll help you."

"Don't even think about it."

Xu Cheng put his hand on the girl's shoulder again, and Lin Wanzhou kicked him again.

She felt that there was no bad guy in the entire community who could tear her clothes, except Xu Cheng.

This was the nth time he had wanted to take off her clothes tonight!

“Hiss, then I can’t think of any solution…” The young man felt that there was no possibility of a comeback in this unfavorable situation.

At this time, Lin Wanzhou showed a look of pain.

"Xu Cheng...it hurts..."

She said it in a coquettish tone, so her voice had a bit of cute and gentle sound, which made people's hearts tremble a few times after hearing it.

Xu Cheng is like this.

His eyes were so gentle as if he was looking at his precious baby.

"What's wrong? Is your aunt in pain?"

Xu Cheng looked down and the girl hit him on the arm. Then, with red cheeks, she covered her mouth with her arm and spoke incoherently.

"I'm in great pain."

"Don't make a fuss. You don't have it."

"You can have this!"

"This really doesn't exist."

"You, you're still mad at me!"

The girl glared at Xu Cheng.

The boy didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Why does it hurt?"

"Girls will feel pain during their period. It seems to be due to the secretion of female hormones, which causes swelling and pain..."

"Painful?"

The young man glanced at her and said, "Really? Lin Wanzhou, you are more…"

At the end of the words, under the murderous gaze of the girl, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally cleared its throat.

"What should I do? Will rubbing it help?"

"There should be..."

Xu Cheng swallowed his saliva, then raised his hand and gradually reached towards the restricted area.

Lin Wanzhou showed her white teeth and bit his palm hard.

"Hiss...why are you biting me?"

"You bastard, where are you touching? I don't have to lie to my mother now. I really met a bad guy. It's you, the bad guy. One moment you want to take off my clothes, and the next moment you..."

"I just see that you are in pain."

"Then, I can rub it myself. Who needs your help? Go get me a hot towel. It will feel much better after applying it."
