Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

He Ziyu was led into a small dark room in a daze. Before he could react, Jiang Chengyu pinned him against the wall.

"Brother Yu?" In the dim light, He Ziyu's almond-shaped eyes widened, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Immediately afterward, all sorts of strange scenes from novels, movies, and TV series flashed before his eyes: wall slams, rose kisses, the Prince of Ba forcing himself on him...

The whole thing is colored.

He Ziyu took a deep breath, vaguely seeing the little devil in his mind grinning with fangs, but soon, the opposing little angel waved holy light, forcing it to retreat step by step, and did not forget to fiercely scold: "You bad thing, Jiang Chengyu is still a minor, if you think of anything else, I'll smash your head in!"

The little devil stood tall and proud, defiant to the death: "So what if I'm a minor? It's dark and we can't see anything. Besides, don't you also want to be kissed, hugged, and lifted up high by Brother Yu?"

Upon hearing this, the little angel blushed and stammered, "I, I was..."

The little devil found an opportunity and pressed his advantage.

"You're just lusting after his body!"

"Admit it!"

"You little devil in angel's clothing!"

He Ziyu: "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not..."

Jiang Chengyu: "?"

He Ziyu came to his senses and found himself covering his face and shaking his head frantically. Fortunately, the storage room was dimly lit, blurring his expression, which was a mixture of excitement and a bit of perversion.

"Ayu, what's wrong?" Jiang Chengyu frowned slightly, taking in He Ziyu by the dim light coming in from the corridor.

He admitted that he had been a bit agitated and rough, but he hadn't actually done anything too outrageous. He had just pulled He Ziyu into the storage room, and the guy was already so scared...

Does he look scary?

"I'm fine, it's just..." He Ziyu cracked his knuckles, trying to calm himself down, "Why did you drag me here?"

Perhaps because the room was too dark, He Ziyu's eyes seemed exceptionally bright at this moment, like a dazzling galaxy in the night sky, making Jiang Chengyu somewhat lost in thought.

He liked He Ziyu very much.

She liked him so much that she wanted to possess him and make sure that no one else could be in his eyes but her.

But he was also afraid, afraid that once the unspoken understanding between them was broken, they wouldn't even be able to remain friends. Just like Lan Yuan, He Ziyu once liked him so much, regarding him as a god, but in the end, they still parted ways and became like a broken road.

He cherished his friendship with Ho Tzu-yu for over a decade so much that he was careful in everything he did, and he was worried that making a promise before he was fully capable of it would be a disrespect to this relationship.

Of course, the most important thing was He Ziyu's idea.

He didn't know how He Ziyu viewed their relationship, but at least what he said to himself on the day he returned to school was enough to prove that he wasn't ready yet.

Jiang Chengyu's thoughts were in turmoil, unaware that the person opposite him was also filled with anxiety.

Seeing that Jiang Chengyu was staring at him without saying a word, He Ziyu felt a little nervous. He frowned slightly, grasped Jiang Chengyu's wrist, and gently shook it. "Brother Yu, say something! What's wrong?"

After his rebirth, he became extremely concerned about Jiang Chengyu's feelings, fearing that he might have suffered some injustice.

Jiang Chengyu pursed her lips and asked, "Why did you add Bei Yao on WeChat?"

After saying that, even he himself felt it was childish and pretentious.

It's just a WeChat account, what can it prove? He Ziyu might have already added many people on WeChat, he just doesn't know it.

"I added him because..." He Ziyu subconsciously wanted to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something.

Could Jiang Chengyu be jealous?

Thinking of this, He Ziyu's previously anxious heart instantly settled down, and he even felt a little like laughing.

Unable to suppress his desire to tease, he released Jiang Chengyu's wrist, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised an eyebrow: "I added him, of course, because he's handsome."

As expected, Jiang Chengyu's expression changed as soon as the words left his mouth, clearly showing that he was trying hard to restrain himself.

He Ziyu continued to play dumb, and even asked in a cheeky tone, "Don't you think so?"

"I don't think so." Jiang Chengyu's voice was muffled. After a slight pause, he continued, "He's about the same as that Lan Yuan."

"How can they be similar? They're completely different. Senior Bei Yao looks like the kind of handsome guy with a strong sense of righteousness, unlike Lan Yuan, who always has a sour face, has a bad character, and looks like a cockroach egg, which is disgusting."

"..."

Hearing her former rival being insulted like this, Jiang Chengyu was not as happy as she had imagined; instead, she felt even more awkward.

To be honest, Bei Yao is indeed good-looking, but it's not fair to say he's much better looking than Lan Yuan.

Is this what they mean by "beauty doesn't bewitch people, people bewitch themselves"?

"Brother Yu, you dragged me in here just to ask about this?" He Ziyu blinked innocently.

"I..." Jiang Chengyu took a deep breath, "I just wanted to remind you that you need to be careful when making friends, especially not to judge a person solely by their appearance. Just like Lan Yuan, weren't you also..."

He Ziyu smiled and interrupted Jiang Chengyu, "You can know a person's face but not their heart, I understand that principle."

"But Yu-ge, why do I get the feeling you're jealous?"

After saying that, He Ziyu deliberately moved closer to Jiang Chengyu, trying to capture his helpless little expression in the dim light.

He knew that what he was doing was wrong.

However, the ambiguity between rain and rain is often the most captivating, especially since he is several years older than Jiang Chengyu in terms of mental age. Sometimes, he simply can't help but want to tease this "naive" guy.

With his carefully guarded weakness exposed, Jiang Chengyu immediately lost his composure. "I... I didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone talking beside him.

"This storage room is too messy. I'll clean it up when I have time."

"Could we borrow a few able-bodied men from other departments? There are so many people in the student council; we can't expect the hygiene department to do all the dirty and strenuous work, can we?"

"You'll have to ask the president for permission; if he agrees, that's fine."

"Great idea! I'd love to meet the new president too. He seems so kind and handsome..."

"Wen Xiuxiu, I think you're not actually looking for help, but rather having a fit of infatuation, aren't you?"

Two girls chatted as they walked into the storage room, their footsteps growing closer.

He Ziyu was startled and was about to ask what to do when Jiang Chengyu suddenly covered his mouth and pulled him behind the shelf next to him to squat down.

It's already strange for two men to be talking in a storage room alone, especially since they didn't even turn on the lights. Nobody would believe there was anything wrong with it.

"Shh, don't make a sound." Jiang Chengyu pressed his lips to his ear, his voice extremely low.

The warm air tickled He Ziyu's ears, making him squirm and unconsciously snuggle into Jiang Chengyu's arms.

In a cramped space, two restless teenagers...

He Ziyu lingered in the warmth of Jiang Chengyu's embrace, the familiar scent of mint filling his nostrils. For a moment, he even wished that the two girls would stay, so he would have a reason to stay in Jiang Chengyu's arms and enjoy their own private world.

"Where is the iodine?"

"It should be on the shelf, take a look."

As the footsteps drew closer, He Ziyu, regaining his composure, began to tense up.

He clearly remembered what measures the Jiang family took against him after Jiang Chengyu confessed his love to him in public in his previous life. Now that he had been reborn, he didn't want the rumors of "the two of them stealing chickens and dogs in a dark room" to spread like wildfire without any preparation.

"There are so many things on this shelf, I don't know when I'll ever find them. Why don't you go ask Teacher Fan again?"

"Didn't she go to the restroom? She probably hasn't come back yet. Move aside, I'll look for her."

Soon, a rustling sound of rummaging could be heard overhead.

He Ziyu's heart raced with nervousness. He instinctively grabbed Jiang Chengyu's arm and buried his head in his chest, resigning himself to fate.

After a while, the girl probably got a little annoyed with what she was looking for, so she started rummaging through the things on the shelf. As a result, she accidentally knocked over a storage bottle that wasn't too big or too small.

Jiang Chengyu caught the bottle with lightning speed, but to his surprise, the bottle cap was ajar. In an instant, the contents spilled all over the two of them!

"Hey, did you just knock something over...?"

The girl scratched her head, about to go around to the back of the shelf to take a look, when her companion called her back.

"I found the iodine; it's right here."

"Oh, I've finally found it..."

The girl's attention shifted to the iodine, and she suddenly forgot what she was supposed to do. She happily walked away with her companion.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Jiang Chengyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He Ziyu glared at him, but after a couple of seconds, he started laughing too.

The storage bottle that just fell off the shelf contains "color running powder" used during long-distance running. This powder is made from cornstarch and comes in various colors.

The bottle that happened to fall was red.

At this moment, their heads and school uniforms were covered in red powder, making them look like butchers coming out of a slaughterhouse.

"What should we do?" He Ziyu shook the colored powder off his head, finding it both funny and a little helpless.

Jiang Chengyu helped him stand up, brushing the powder off his body as she said gently, "Go to the bathroom to wash up in a bit."

"This can't be washed off, can it?"

"Just wash your hair, you can wash your clothes when you get home." After saying that, Jiang Chengyu pinched He Ziyu's chin, "Ayu, close your eyes."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu obediently closed his eyes.

Jiang Chengyu gently blew away the powder clinging to He Ziyu's eyelashes, then wiped his cheeks with a touch as gentle as if he were touching something priceless.

He Ziyu was aroused by Jiang Chengyu's gentleness, and the little devil deep inside him began to stir again.

Thinking that no one would likely enter the storage room again anytime soon, He Ziyu's impulse gradually emerged.

Finally, when Jiang Chengyu's fingertips touched his lips...

Unable to contain his emotions, He Ziyu suddenly opened his arms and tightly wrapped them around Jiang Chengyu's waist.

Jiang Chengyu was focused on cleaning when he was suddenly hugged, and he froze on the spot.

"Splash, splash"

The sound of their heartbeats was exceptionally clear in the quiet storage room.
