Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"Xiao Yu, um... I'm here."

"..."

Yu Yu was startled outside the door.

These two people are too time-saving. They took advantage of her time to check the fire. Is it always like this...

His sight passed through Xu Cheng and then saw Lin Wanzhou, whose clothes were somewhat disheveled in the room.

Yu Yu suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She couldn't quite explain why.

"I, I..." The strange thing was that although it was obvious that there were two people in the room having an affair, Yu Yu was the first to feel uncomfortable.

After holding it in for a long time, the girl finally squeezed out a sentence.

"I'll check the kitchen again."

Xu Cheng quickly stopped him.

"No, no, no, Zhou Zhou just said there was a mouse in this room, so I came in to help her check, but I'm also quite afraid of mice..."

It turned out to be a mouse.

Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

It turned out to be just a mouse, and she thought it was a particularly ambiguous situation.

"Let me take a look..."

Yu Yu entered the room. The small room, which was not big to begin with, suddenly became even more crowded and stuffy.

"Xiao Yu, you are so brave." Lin Wanzhou said as he hurriedly tidied his clothes.

Xu Cheng also nodded in agreement.

He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, a praying mantis fell into his clothes. He was so scared that he jumped up and down. It was Yu Yu who helped him catch it.

"No, not very big..." Yu Yu bent down and searched for a while, "Where did you see Zhou Zhou?"

"It was right here. I was just wiping myself when a fat creature suddenly jumped out. I was so scared that I quickly called Xu Cheng in..."

Lin Wanzhou also bent down and gave Yu Yu instructions.

At this time, Xu Cheng was standing behind them. Feeling that this perspective was a bit awkward, he consciously turned his back again.

After searching for a long time, the mouse that Lin Wanzhou saw was still not found.

"You weren't the one who really shouted that..." Xu Cheng looked at the girl suspiciously.

Lin Wanzhou beat him.

"I must have seen it. I, I don't dare to sleep in this room anymore..."

Xu Cheng frowned, "Then where are you going?"

Lin Wanzhou stammered.

"How about we change rooms, Xu Cheng..."

"You mean." Xu Cheng was stunned, "Yu Yu and I sleep here, and you sleep in my room...hiss, it hurts."

Lin Wanzhou angrily let go of the little hand that was twisting his ear.

"What are you talking about? I mean Xiaoyu and I will sleep in your room, and you can sleep here alone!"

"That won't work."

Xu Cheng refused decisively, "You are afraid of mice, but why am I not afraid? I won't sleep here either."

Yu Yu glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then said embarrassedly.

"How about, how about I sleep here, Zhou Zhou, you...you two sleep over there..."

Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng were stunned for a moment.

Xu Cheng naturally had no objection to this.

But for Lin Wanzhou, the blush on her face was so intense that it almost reached her ears.

Although it was not the first time that he slept with Xu Cheng, they had always slept together secretly. Sleeping together so blatantly was simply exposing their relationship.

"I, I won't sleep with him...or else we can just...sleep over there together..." Lin Wanzhou said embarrassedly.

Sleeping with Xu Cheng alone would lead to misunderstanding, but if three of us slept together, it should be innocent enough.

After hesitating for a long time, the three of them finally decided to sleep in the same room tonight.

Xu Cheng's room faces south and has a large south-facing window.

There were no curtains to block the view, and no light bulbs in the room. It was pitch black once you pushed the door open, with only the bright moonlight and stars spreading on the ground like a hazy veil.

The bed also faced south. The three of them looked at each other and Xu Cheng suggested.

"Go to sleep. How about you sleep in the middle, Lin Wanzhou?"

"Oh, good."

With little objection, the three of them decided on their beds.

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

Because it was summer, there was no air conditioning in the room and the weather was hot enough, so I didn't feel like covering myself with a blanket.

Xu Cheng was the last one to climb onto the bed. He took off his shoes quietly and secretly glanced at the two girls' sleeping positions.

Yu Yu turned sideways, facing outside, and Lin Wanzhou also turned sideways, facing Yu Yu.

The two girls didn't move at all, and I didn't know if they were pretending to be asleep or were really asleep.

"Drink--"

Stretching, the boy lay down comfortably on the bed.

Fortunately, the beds in the countryside are large, so it’s not too crowded for three people to lie down on them. Although they can touch each other, they don’t feel stuffy. Instead, they feel particularly safe.

This feeling is quite special.

Even if there was such an experience once.

He was in Shanghai at that time, and the three of them spent the night together in the hotel bed.

But at that time, they were still relatively young and had basically no idea about certain aspects. At least Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu only had a vague understanding of those aspects... right?

And putting these aside, due to age restrictions, Xu Cheng didn't dare to have too many thoughts.

But things are very different now.

They are adults now, no longer the children they were back then, so they now have many complicated thoughts in their heads.

However, listening to the chirping of katydids in the yard and looking out the window at the inky starry sky, my mind became exceptionally peaceful again.

"Are you asleep?" Lin Wanzhou was no longer lying on his side, but lying flat like Xu Cheng, looking at the window in front of him.

"No."

"without……"

Lin Wanzhou pointed at the window and said, "Look at the sky outside. It's so beautiful. Fortunately, Xu Cheng and I changed rooms, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see it."

Yu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "There are fewer lights in the village... It's clearer than what I see in the city..."

"Can you see the constellations?" Xu Cheng asked softly.

"I can't see it. I can see the Big Dipper. Look at that spoon." Lin Wanzhou pointed with her little hand.

Xu Cheng also saw the big funnel she was pointing at, which was extremely obvious in the sky.

"What's your zodiac sign?"

“I’m a Taurus.”

"Libra..."

"I'm a Scorpio. Scorpio is the most visible constellation in the summer. Look at that bright star. It's the Alpha star in Scorpio. Look down from the Alpha star. Do you see the scorpion's tail?"

Xu Cheng gestured as he spoke, and the two girls stared with wide eyes and looked in the direction he said.

“I can really see it.”

"I also saw..."

Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu both had surprise on their faces.

After all, the starry sky always has an indescribable charm for human beings.

There is a saying that the nitrogen in human DNA, the calcium in teeth, and the iron in blood were all formed during the Big Bang era of the universe when millions of stars were scattered.

Therefore, it can be said that each of us is a star, and each of us has an inextricable connection with the starry sky.

Lin Wanzhou curiously asked Xu Cheng about the position of Taurus. Yu Yu also looked at him, curious about his own Libra position.

Xu Cheng stuck out his tongue regretfully.

"I don't know, but I remember that Taurus is not easy to observe in the summer, and the same goes for Libra. I'll point it out to you when I have the chance."

"Ok."

Lin Wanzhou felt it was a bit of a pity, but girls always liked topics like zodiac signs.

"I read in a book that Taurus is suitable for careers in accounting in the future."

"And me?"

"Scorpio, it seems like you are a politician, entrepreneur or something. No wonder you started a business. It seems to be quite accurate."

Xu Cheng smiled when he heard it.

In his previous life, he was just a worker, how could he become an entrepreneur or a politician...

This kind of prediction is the same as predicting when you were a child that you would be crowned emperor and work as a delivery boy for a certain group when you grow up.

Lin Wanzhou was still mumbling beside him, "But I remember that Scorpio is a water sign, and boys of water signs are all scumbags."

"..."

Xu Cheng also remembers this statement.

Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio are the three notorious water signs.

Lin Wanzhou kicked the boy on the calf in disgust.

"Huh, it turns out that what you said is quite accurate."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense about Lin Wanzhou. I don't have any scum."

“How come it’s gone?”

The two people were chattering incessantly, and Yu Yu was looking at them sideways, with a slight smile on his lips.

An unknown amount of time passed. After Xu Cheng called out to Lin Wanzhou several times and Lin Wanzhou didn't respond, he turned around and saw that the girl had fallen asleep just above his shoulder.

Looking at the other side, Yu Yu was also sleeping soundly.

The girls' breathing when they sleep is so quiet, like two cats sleeping soundly.

The boy then secretly kissed Lin Wanzhou on the cheek, but she just smacked her lips. Her cute look almost made the boy commit a crime again.

As for Yu Yu, of course he didn't dare to do that.

He lay back on the bed comfortably, looking at the bright starry sky outside the window and sighed.

How did time go by so fast.

in a blink.

We've all grown up...

"Oh, I see. You keep nagging me."

"I don't take this."
