Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Although everyone is confident in their appearance, no one would mind if their photos looked better.

Sitting on the bench where they had taken their ID photos, Lin Wanzhou suddenly suggested.

"Shall we take a picture together to commemorate this?"

Xu Cheng and Yu Yu both looked at her.

"Together?"

"……Well?"

Lin Wanzhou nodded. "Yes, just take a picture with your phone."

"It's okay. Just ask the boss to help take one more photo. It'll just cost you a little more money." Xu Cheng said.

After telling the boss, the three of them sat side by side on the bench they had just sat on.

Lin Wanzhou is on the left, Xu Cheng is in the middle, and Yu Yu is on the right.

With a shout of "cheese", a photo of the three of them was taken.

A few minutes later, the three of them left the photo studio with all the printed photos.

Lin Wanzhou was quite satisfied with the photo of three people, especially the red background behind the people. She quietly covered Yu Yu's part with her hand. It looked like her wedding photo with Xu Cheng.

Anyway, she didn't dare to take a photo with him openly, so it felt good to take it secretly.

The trio's last stop was the train station.

There were so many people here that the two girls were nervous and couldn't help but lean closer to Xu Cheng.

Most of the people who bought tickets were students preparing to go back to school. The three of them waited in line for a long time, and their legs were a little numb from standing, before they finally got their turn.

"Where to go?"

"Erxian Bridge?"

"Ok?"

The conductor glanced over through the glass window.

Xu Cheng reacted and quickly changed his words.

"Oh, the devil's city, the people standing here are numb and their brains are confused."

Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou first bought train tickets to Shanghai, which was nearly 500 kilometers away and would take more than seven hours by train to arrive.

It was almost the same for Yu Yu to go to Hangzhou. The other three were excited because there was actually a section of overlapping routes between Shanghai and Hangzhou. The three of them could set off together, and when they arrived in Jianye, Yu Yu would just have to change buses again.

"You don't have to worry about being alone on the road, Xiaoyu." Lin Wanzhou said happily.

Yu Yu was also very happy.

Going to a strange city all alone...it's impossible to say I'm not scared.

The three of them walked out of the station and suddenly saw a girl sitting on the ground in the square in front of the station. There was something written on the ground in front of her with chalk.

Driven by curiosity, the three of them came over.

He first glanced at the girl in front of him. She was not very old, and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Then he looked at the chalk writing on the ground.

It turned out that she was also a high school student who had just graduated this year and was planning to earn some tuition money before school started.

Later, I saw a textile factory in the next city recruiting workers while on the van, so I went there to work.

As a result, after working hard for two months, when it was time to calculate her wages, she was not paid for a long time. Thinking that school was about to start, she went to ask for it several times. Finally, the director got tired of her and only paid her half, and there was no sign of the remaining payment.

But this half was not enough for tuition, let alone train tickets, so she had to ask a kind-hearted person to lend her some money and pay it back when the remaining balance was paid.

Xu Cheng frowned and wanted to pull the two girls away, but he noticed Yu Yu's eyes.

She seemed somewhat touched.

Because when this girl introduced her family, she also said that she only had an elderly mother-in-law in her family.

"Are you lying?" Lin Wanzhou pulled at the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes.

He shook his head.

"How do I know?"

He looked at Yu Yu again and asked.

"Aren't you leaving, Yu Yu?"

Yu Yu turned around and looked at him with some hesitation and uneasiness in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Xu Cheng immediately understood the girl's thoughts.

Her experience is very similar to hers.

At this time, Lin Wanzhou also pulled on the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes.

She is also soft-hearted, and when she sees something like this, she can't help but feel sad for others.

"Xu Cheng, why don't we help her? This girl feels so pitiful."

Xu Cheng was silent for a few seconds.

He knows the dangers of society.

But the two kids who had just left school had never seen these things.

But it would be too cruel to tell these dark sides directly to the two girls.

"Don't worry."

"Let me try it out first..."

Chapter 347: How about spending the night together?

"What's your name?"

Xu Cheng walked over and smiled, "If you want to borrow money, you should know your name."

"Wei Xiaoli." The girl answered immediately.

While Xu Cheng was looking at her, she was also observing Xu Cheng.

The boy looked tall and was accompanied by two girls who looked like ladies from wealthy families.

These two girls speak softly and are almost flawless little ladies.

Wei Xiaoli let down her guard a little, after all, good-looking people are not bad people.

"Oh, classmate Wei, it's almost time for dinner. Why don't we go have dinner together and chat about it to get some details so that we can help you, right?"

"...You, you're not trying to trick me into paying for you, are you?"

Wei Xiaoli was a little nervous.

It was like ordering a table full of dishes, but when it came time to pay the bill, everyone left and only one person was left to pay. She had seen this kind of rip-off story on Story Collection.

"Don't worry, there's a small noodle shop over there. We can go there and have a simple meal. If you're worried, I can pay the bill in advance."

After hearing what Xu Cheng said, Wei Xiaoli had no reason to refuse. After all, she needed help from others.

"it is good."

She stood up and spoke with an accent.

"I'm just afraid of meeting some bad guy and getting fooled again. Please forgive me."

"fine."

Xu Cheng waved his hand generously.

The four of them entered the small noodle shop. The interior of the noodle shop was very simple, with just a few tables and noodle patterns posted on the walls.

Several people sat down around a small square table.

Xu Cheng first asked Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu what they wanted to eat.

"I'll just have a small bowl of teriyaki ramen. I've already eaten a lot this afternoon."

"I...I also have a small bowl."

He first ordered noodles for the three of them from the boss. Then Xu Cheng looked at Wei Xiaoli, who was looking a little embarrassed.

"Student Wei, what do you want to eat? I'll order all of them."

"I-I'm not hungry."

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Meeting is fate. I'll treat you."

Wei Xiaoli's heart was moved for a moment, but she tightened her lips and refused.

"I'm really not hungry. I ate too much at noon... I feel full..."

"Then if you don't eat, we will feel embarrassed to eat next to you."

Xu Cheng's voice was a little louder. "How about this? You can count this meal money as a loan from me. You can pay it back when you have money later."

"...Okay then. I'll just have some clear soup."

"Then I'll help you order."

Xu Cheng ordered two small bowls of braised beef noodles, and two large bowls, one large bowl of braised beef for him, and one large bowl of clear soup for Wei Xiaoli. In addition, he also ordered a dish of braised beef in soy sauce and peanuts.

In order to dispel Wei Xiaoli's concerns, he took the initiative to go to the front desk, paid the boss for the meal first, and then whispered a few words to the boss, which was naturally seen by no one.

Wei Xiaoli felt very touched but also a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to apologize.

"I'm also afraid of being fooled again. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's human nature."

While waiting for the meal, the three of them started asking about Wei Xiaoli's background.

Of course, most of the time it was Xu Cheng who asked.

Wei Xiaoli confessed everything.

It turned out that her family lived in Weijiazhuang, which was far away from the urban area of ​​Jinghai City. Her parents died in a car accident when she was very young. For so many years, she had been dependent on her mother-in-law.

"You just graduated this year?"

Wei Xiaoli nodded quickly, "Yes, I just finished the college entrance examination this year."

"We are also high school students who just graduated this year." Lin Wanzhou spoke from the side.

Wei Xiaoli felt a little hesitant when she heard this, wondering if they were high school students and would have money to lend her. But at this moment she had no choice but to believe them, after all, they were willing to treat her to a meal.

"Do you remember the questions for this year's college entrance examination?" Xu Cheng asked.

Wei Xiaoli answered without hesitation, "This year's college entrance examination essay topic is to read a poem by Ruan Yuan and write about your associations. I wrote the best one that is suitable..."

"OK OK."

Xu Cheng interrupted her chatter with a smile, "Which high school did you go to?"

"The middle school in our village."

"Oh, like this."

Xu Cheng recalled that there shouldn't be many people around him studying in that school. It would be a bit troublesome to ask around. After all, it was so far away. If he wanted to go to Weijiazhuang, the drive would take about two hours.

At the serving station, the boss called out, "Handsome guy, the noodles are ready. You can add chopped green onions, cilantro, etc."

The four of them went to serve the food.

Four large bowls were placed on the plate, two large and two small.

Xu Cheng took the initiative to help hold up the plate, and quickly sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions and coriander on his noodles, almost covering all the noodles in the bowl, and asked someone next to him.

"Zhou Zhou, Yu Yu, do you want anything to add?"

Lin Wanzhou shook his head.

"No, I'm too embarrassed to talk to people after eating coriander. I'll just add some chili myself."

Yu Yu also spoke.
