Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"Oh, I don't want to drink anymore."

"so annoying."

……

At the train station.

Xu Cheng looked at the strange boy who was annoyed by his family's nagging, and it seemed as if he saw a familiar shadow in an instant.

Time flies and it’s time to start school.

Today he will take the train with Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu.

Their parents all came to the train station to see them off.

He Ying had her hands full of bags and was chattering to him.

"Really? I asked you to take a leave and go to Shanghai with your dad. I'd like to see you off and have some fun there, but you refused to let us go..."

Xu Cheng smiled.

"Okay, don't worry, Mom. This isn't the first time I've gone out. Come, give me a hug."

"Ah? What?" He Ying thought she had heard it wrong.

But the next second, her big son hugged her in a bear hug.

Not only did he give her a tight hug, he also shamelessly kissed He Ying on the cheek.

"Mom, I love you."

"Really? What is this kid doing..."

He Ying seemed to have suddenly become a dozen years younger, her face flushed and she showed a shy expression like a little girl.

However, the arc at the corner of the mouth is harder to suppress than AK.

On the other side, Xu Jianghe came slowly, carrying a plastic bag of drinks he had bought.

"I've bought some water for you, little brats. Drink some on the way."

Before the old man could react, Xu Cheng hugged him in a bear hug.

After a few seconds, this little old man who was regarded as an idol by countless young people in the technology circle, stood there with empty hands, maintaining this posture as if his body was stiff.

He looked slowly around.

My face is full of doubts about my life.

For many families, the start of college is the first long farewell between parents and children.

It seems like the baby bird is really about to flap its wings and leave the nest that has sheltered it for so long.

Xu Cheng remembered that in his previous life, when he first went to school, he also disliked his family members for being annoying.

But later he understood what this separation meant to his life.

If I don't work locally in the future, it will be difficult for me to have the opportunity to spend a long time with my parents.

He could always remember that in his previous life, he worked away from home for many years. One time, he left home for the New Year and forgot something. He went back home again. Suddenly, his old father, who always opposed him, wiped his tears and said to him in a very hypocritical way, "I don't want you to leave."

Therefore, his farewell this time was more emotional than that of other freshmen, and his eyes were wet for a long time.

I picked up my suitcase, waved to my parents, and waited for a while at the security check. After talking to their families, the two girls came over with their suitcases.

Xu Cheng glanced at it.

Both of them seemed to have wet eyes.

Girls are different from boys in this respect. They are more sensitive and fragile psychologically.

"Eat candy?"

Xu Cheng took out a small box of mints. Yu Yu didn't react. Lin Wanzhou shook his head. Xu Cheng gave two to Yu Yu, put two in his own mouth, and then put the mints in his pocket.

But the next second, Lin Wanzhou suddenly wanted to eat candy.

People are so fickle.

This is especially true for women.

"Xu Cheng, give me two." She opened her little hands towards Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng looked at her strangely, "Don't you want it?"

"I want it now."

"Then take it yourself."

Xu Cheng was busy putting the water bought by Xu Jianghe into his schoolbag, so he turned his butt to the side and let Lin Wanzhou get the water from his trouser pocket.

The girl then put her hand in.

The next second, two passengers with red faces appeared at the train station.

"You, you..." Xu Cheng was speechless.

Lin Wanzhou didn't know what to do. Who could have thought that something like this would happen? She just lowered her head in silence, her face as red as a cute little tomato.

However, the two of them did not make much noise. In such a big train station, perhaps only Yu Yu knew what had just happened.

Her face was redder than Lin Wanzhou's.

In order to pretend that he didn't notice anything, he even crushed the mint in his mouth.

The tickets for three people are hard seats, and the positions are close.

Dragging the suitcases into the car, Xu Cheng responsibly helped Lin Wanzhou and Yu Yu carry the suitcases onto the luggage rack.

At this time, Lin Wanzhou felt a sense of security and dependence.

Yu Yu felt the same way, but she started to worry because she would have to travel alone for the second half of the journey, and worry soon appeared between her brows.

Xu Cheng saw it and reminded the girl quietly.

"If you guys take the bus in the future and can't carry it up, you can put it under the table. Just make sure it doesn't block people from walking in the aisle."

When he said this, he naturally looked at Yu Yu carefully.

The seats were in a row, Yu Yu sat by the window, Lin Wanzhou sat next to her, and Xu Cheng sat in the aisle.

The train started quickly, and the three of them looked towards the bed at the same time. The neat houses gradually disappeared into the distance, followed by dark green farmland and a slightly empty plain.

Xu Cheng saw the look that Lin Wanzhou was trying hard to capture, as if she wanted to catch a glimpse of her parents from somewhere outside the window. Naturally, she would not express this kind of thing, but would only think about it in her heart.

Yu Yu had the same look.

Compared with the separation of Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou, she was more worried that her mother-in-law would feel lonely at home.

"It's okay, Yu Yu. My parents will take good care of your mother-in-law."

Xu Cheng comforted her and then asked with some concern.

"Is it okay for you to go to Hangzhou alone?"

Yu Yu waved his hand.

"It's okay. The teacher asked my senior sister to pick me up. She is in Hangzhou and is also a teacher at the Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts."

After hearing her say this, Xu Cheng felt a little relieved.

Because the three of them would separate at Jianye Station, and Yu Yu would have to transfer to a bus to Hangzhou, the two of them talked a lot with Yu Yu on the way.

Lin Wanzhou said worriedly, "I don't know if you, Xiaoyu, will get used to Hangzhou..."

Xu Cheng said, "Don't worry, they say there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou is still very beautiful."

"Yes, there is West Lake."

Lin Wanzhou thought about it and suggested, "Xiaoyu, it seems that there will be a holiday during the National Day. How about we go to Hangzhou to visit you then?"

Yu Yu nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, okay, okay."

With the station announcements one by one, Jianye Station soon arrived.

Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng helped Yu Yu carry the luggage off the bus. Looking at the passengers coming and going, the three of them didn't know how to say goodbye for a moment.

Xu Cheng raised the drink bottle in his hand.

"I urge you to drink another cup of wine. There will be no friends west of Yangguan. How about we clink glasses of wine?"

"Like a fool."

Although Lin Wanzhou was complaining, he still raised the Coke bottle, and the three plastic bottles collided with each other.

After gulping down a few big gulps, the three of them looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"How about hugging me again?" Xu Cheng suggested.

In this environment, both girls had no objections, but Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed.

At first, she was not quite used to it and hugged Lin Wanzhou.

Then it was Xu Cheng's turn. The two looked at each other with some embarrassment on their faces, but they still hugged each other in the end.

This seemed to be the first time the two of them hugged each other openly.

In the name of a friend.

Unlike Lin Wanzhou, Xu Cheng was like a bear. When they hugged each other, Yu Yu felt that the embrace was very warm and she could bury her head in his chest.

"I wish you a safe journey, Yu Yu."

Xu Cheng's magnetic voice rang in the girl's ears.

For a moment, Yu Yu felt his eyes become blurry.

She blinked hard a few times and soon became clear again, nodding gently in Xu Cheng's arms.

Lin Wanzhou watched from the side.

The beautiful eyes blinked, as if they saw something.

She pursed her lips again and tried hard to force a smile from the corners of her mouth.

They watched Yu Yu disappear in the crowd before they got back on the train to the Magic City.

"I'm still worried about Xiaoyu." Lin Wanzhou said with a pout.

"It's okay. Guo Zining and the others also went to school alone, and Yu Yu is not a child anymore."

"But……"

"All right."

Xu Cheng rubbed Lin Wanzhou's head.

"Ms. Lin, it seems that you haven't played with Yu Yu much since you entered high school. Are you really worried or are you just saying it?"

Xu Cheng's words seemed to make Lin Wanzhou very angry.

"I'm not pretending. Why don't I play with Xiaoyu anymore? I won't talk to you anymore. It only makes you angry."

She turned her face away and hugged her chest angrily.

Xu Cheng was stunned. He teased her a few times and found that she was really angry.

Sitting in the seat somewhat helplessly, Xu Cheng gradually began to feel sleepy. After dozing off for a while, when he was half awake, he felt that Lin Wanzhou had also fallen asleep with her head resting on his shoulder.

The boy didn't say anything, but just held her hand, and soon she held his large palm in return.

Ten fingers are tightly clasped together.

"No, you are mine..." Lin Wanzhou lay softly on the boy's shoulder, muttering softly.

……

The temperature in Shanghai is a bit hotter than in Jinghai.

As soon as he got out of the station, Xu Cheng felt the sunlight was a bit glaring, and beads of sweat appeared on his neck.

However, Lin Wanzhou seemed full of energy and excitedly pulled Xu Cheng's arm.

"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, take a picture for me."

"Oh, wait for me."
