Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Jiang Chengyu held his phone, unsure of what to reply for a long time.

He felt that if he agreed too quickly, he would reveal his truest thoughts, but if he didn't agree...

No, he couldn't possibly refuse.

"Silence means consent." Before Jiang Chengyu could come up with a suitable word, He Ziyu had already finalized the matter.

My father is away on a business trip these past two days, and my mother won't interfere too much. I can stay at his place under the pretext of taking care of Jiang Chengyu, so there shouldn't be any problems.

After making his own calculations, He Ziyu's cheeks flushed even more.

……

Back home, He Ziyu, as usual, helped his mother cook dinner, then eagerly grabbed his lunchbox and schoolbag and rushed to the next room.

With Jiang's parents away from home these past few days, it's become very convenient for them to meet privately. In addition, since the two are currently in the throes of a passionate relationship, they take every opportunity to be together whenever they have free time.

"Brother Yu, I'm here, catch!" He Ziyu casually put his things down at the door, opened his arms, and excitedly rushed towards Jiang Chengyu.

Then, just a few centimeters away from him, he abruptly stopped.

"Oh dear, I forgot you broke your arm..." He Ziyu's expression instantly turned gloomy. "When will your arm get better? I can't even hug you, it's such a nuisance."

Jiang Chengyu was amused by his pitiful look and reached out to pinch his ear. "It'll be over soon, just bear with it a little longer."

"You're just kidding me. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. This cast won't be completely removed until the dead of winter. But that's fine, I can take the opportunity to take better care of you and maybe even take advantage of the situation a little..."

He Ziyu smiled mischievously as he spoke, and his two hands skillfully slipped inside Jiang Chengyu's clothes, openly stroking his abs.

Before, he only dared to think about Jiang Chengyu's body in his mind, but now that the secret has been revealed, he no longer needs to secretly fantasize and can openly make his move.

Moreover, the temperature, the feel...

That's so awesome!!

He Ziyu was so engrossed in the man's beauty that he touched him vigorously, completely unaware that Jiang Chengyu's face had turned as red as the evening glow.

"Wow, that's really tough. You've practiced really well."

"..."

Feeling the cool temperature on his fingertips, Jiang Chengyu's Adam's apple bobbed.

He quickly grabbed He Ziyu's hand, his voice burning, "Ayu, I never knew you were so...so lewd."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu froze.

Two seconds later, her expression turned into a mixture of shyness and anger.

"Yeah, that's right, I am a pervert. Didn't you know all along that I like handsome guys? Now you're not satisfied? I'm telling you, it's too late. Unless you become a big fat man... no, becoming a big fat man won't help. Anyway, as long as it's you, you won't be able to escape my clutches."

Jiang Chengyu: "I'm not dissatisfied. I'm satisfied with whatever you do. It's just that you're touching me like this..."

After saying that, Jiang Chengyu lowered his head.

He regretted admitting it, but then he thought, He Ziyu isn't blind. Even if he didn't admit it, what difference would it make? Could he really hide his little thoughts?

After a brief, awkward standoff, He Ziyu on the other end suddenly scratched his head and said weakly, "Actually... I'll have one too."

"What?"

He Ziyu forced a smirk, trying to make his tone sound natural, "I don't think it's a big deal, besides, I don't mind..."

"It's not a matter of whether you mind or not, it's that I..." Jiang Chengyu took a deep breath, mustered the courage to look He Ziyu in the eyes, "I'm feeling really uncomfortable."

This feeling of seeing something but not being able to have it is just too agonizing.

Jiang Chengyu has resisted the temptations of games, food, and all sorts of other things throughout her life...

But she couldn't resist He Ziyu's temptation.

He Ziyu blushed and looked at Jiang Chengyu for a while, then tiptoed to his ear and said in a softer voice than usual, "Then... I'll help you tonight, okay?"

……

At night, everything is silent.

He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu sat on the floor around a coffee table, which was covered with textbooks and test papers. The only sounds in the quiet air were the faint sounds of pens scratching paper and pages turning.

After finishing their meal, the two did not engage in any entertainment activities but went straight to reviewing their lessons, tacitly aware of what was about to happen that evening.

"Brother Yu, is there something wrong with this question? Why can't I figure out the correct answer?" Halfway through his homework, He Ziyu got stuck on a math problem and scratched his hair in frustration.

"Which one? Let me see it."

He Ziyu grabbed the test paper and leaned close to Jiang Chengyu, pointing to the messy scribbles on the question. "I've tried this question so many times, and I still can't even get close to the answer."

Jiang Chengyu glanced in the direction he was pointing and immediately understood what was going on.

This question was quite difficult, and he had to calculate it several times before he could solve it. It's perfectly normal for someone like He Ziyu, whose foundation isn't very solid, not to be able to solve it.

So, with a comforting attitude, Jiang Chengyu said, "This question is too difficult. If you can't solve it, just leave it for now."

He Ziyu had originally come with a humble attitude to learn, but after Jiang Chengyu poured cold water on his enthusiasm, he instantly became a little unhappy.

"Even if it's difficult, you have to explain it. If you don't, I'll never learn, and it will always be a problem." He Ziyu straightened his back. "I want to hear it. Tell me now, or I won't bring you food tomorrow."

Jiang Chengyu was both amused and slightly uneasy by his appearance.

He wasn't afraid of anything except He Ziyu's displeasure.

"It's not that I don't want to explain it to you, it's just that I'm afraid it will take you too long to digest and delay your work on other questions. If you want to hear it, I can explain it to you five times, ten times... as many times as you want."

He Ziyu knew Jiang Chengyu too well, and instantly detected a hint of panic in his tone.

Perhaps this relationship was too hard-won for him, so much so that he was always walking on thin ice. Ironically, this caution was what He Ziyu feared most and least wanted to see.

After a moment, He Ziyu slumped his shoulders and softened his tone: "I didn't mean to blame you, I just feel that my grades are far behind yours, and it won't be easy for me to catch up. But if I don't catch up, I won't be able to go to the same university as you... Brother Yu, I want to be with you forever, so I have to work hard, ten or a hundred times harder than the average person, understand?"

He Ziyu looked at Jiang Chengyu, a glint of light in his eyes.

God gave him only one chance to be reborn, and he must not waste it. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, he must grit his teeth and persevere.

Jiang Chengyu looked back at He Ziyu and saw his own reflection in his deep eyes, causing his heart to skip a beat.

He thought He Ziyu was just being silly and throwing a tantrum, never expecting that behind his arrogance lay such a hidden intention...

Jiang Chengyu: "Then... take a piece of draft paper, I'll tell you what to do, and you write it down."

He Ziyu: "Hmm!"

He Ziyu's temper was like the wind, coming and going quickly. Seeing that Jiang Chengyu had agreed to explain the problem to him, he quickly pulled out a piece of draft paper and began to obediently take notes.

In order to make him understand, Jiang Chengyu deliberately slowed down his speech and patiently repeated one point of knowledge after another.

The two worked in perfect harmony, one speaking and the other writing, and quickly figured out the solution to the problem.

"Brother Yu, I think I understand!" He Ziyu's eyes were full of excitement. "Although I might not be able to do another question of the same type, at least this one is no problem."

Jiang Chengyu was also very happy, "You are even more amazing than I imagined."

"Really? Then shouldn't you reward me?" He Ziyu raised an eyebrow and turned his face to the side.

Jiang Chengyu understood perfectly.

Unexpectedly, just a second before his lips were about to touch He Ziyu's cheek, He Ziyu suddenly turned his head and kissed him on the lips.

Jiang Chengyu was powerless to resist such blatant provocation. He hooked his arm around He Ziyu and forcefully kissed him back.

The two quickly spread their textbooks out to one side and leaned against the sofa next to them.

He Ziyu didn't know how long they kissed, but he knew that when they separated, his brain felt a little oxygen-deprived.

He leaned on Jiang Chengyu's shoulder, and after his breathing calmed down a bit, he glanced at the time.

It's already 10 p.m.

"It's so strange, when I'm with you, it feels like time is on fast-forward, it just flies by..."

"I think so too," Jiang Chengyu said, playing with He Ziyu's fingers with one hand. "I really wish time could just stop like this, so I could stay with you forever."

He Ziyu lowered his head and chuckled to himself. Then, he stood up from Jiang Chengyu's arms. "No way, I don't want time to stop at this critical moment."

Why?

"Because... I haven't showered yet!" He Ziyu said, and ran upstairs. "I stink, I'm going to take a shower first, you wait for me obediently in bed, okay?"

Jiang Chengyu pursed his lips, recalling the words He Ziyu had whispered in his ear, and his body grew increasingly hot.

……

After taking a shower, He Ziyu walked out of the shower area and saw that Jiang Chengyu had already placed his pajamas on the bathroom table.

He put on his pajamas and slipped on his slippers to go to Jiang Chengyu's room.

Jiang Chengyu had already made the bed, but there was only one pillow on it.

"You can sleep here tonight. I'll go to the next room, otherwise you might bump your arm when you turn over at night." Jiang Chengyu explained, sounding a little unsure of himself, and didn't dare to look He Ziyu in the eye.

He Ziyu didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the room.

Half a minute later, he returned, this time with a pillow in his hand.

"I want to sleep with you." He Ziyu threw the pillow onto the bed and locked the door.

Jiang Chengyu: "..."

Without saying a word, He Ziyu walked up to Jiang Chengyu, his body radiating a warm, damp scent from a recent shower.

"You've already agreed to let me help you."

"Well, but..."

"It's okay, Brother Yu." He Ziyu reached out and wrapped his arms around Jiang Chengyu's neck, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Just try it once, isn't once enough? My technique... is pretty good, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
