Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

What does it mean to be gentle with him?

Jingran opened her eyes wide and quietly moved her body backward, and then backward again.

The room was small and cramped, and there were only the two of them. If Bei Yao really wanted to do something to him, he would have nowhere to run.

Hmm, maybe I can make a run into the stairwell in one go?

No, no, this tenement building doesn't even have an elevator. Although he can run fast, he can't compete with Bei Yao's long legs. He'll be dragged back in just a few steps.

Or should I just scream for help?

That won't work either. Bei Yao didn't hit him or scold him. Who would care if he cried for help?

One by one, the methods of survival were rejected, and Jingran seemed to hear the background music of the Black Coffin Dance playing in her ears.

"Baby, are you that afraid of me?"

Bei Yao maintained an offensive stance throughout. As Jing Ran retreated a little, he advanced a little, until finally he had the little guy cornered between the bed and the wall.

Jing then leaned against the wall, nervously swallowing hard. "W-what do you want to do? QAQ..."

Bei Yao remained silent, lowered his head and pulled Jing Ran into his arms, his sensual thin lips slowly approaching.

Their breaths were hot, the temperature rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the small room.

Jingran wanted to run, to escape, but he didn't dare. His body was as limp and powerless as if he had been given a drug. Helpless, he simply closed his eyes and obediently waited for death.

He felt that Bei Yao should, probably, perhaps, possibly...

She wanted to kiss him.

As for why he wanted to kiss him, he didn't know, nor did he have the courage to ask.

If a kiss could bring Bei Yao back to normal, he would be willing to sacrifice himself and give up his precious first kiss to quickly put an end to this.

Bei Yao stared at Jing Ran, who was huddled by the bed with her eyes closed and a look of resignation to death on her face. His movements paused slightly, and his lips stopped just inches away from hers.

He didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Although the little thing in front of me is so tempting and cute, making me want to touch it...

But Bei Yao knew that if he took this step, his journey to win back his wife would become even more difficult.

"Are you... are you going to kiss me again?" Jingran couldn't help but ask when there was no response from the other side for a long time.

Bei Yao was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

"Didn't you want to kiss me?" Jingran's eyes were still closed, her ears red. "If you'll let me go if I let you kiss me, then kiss me."

The will to survive made him compromise; the will to survive made him surrender.

Rather than getting beaten up and hung on the clothesline, he'd rather kiss Bei Yao. As long as he doesn't open his eyes, he can imagine Bei Yao as a girl with big breasts and a perky butt...

Jingran waited for a while, but still didn't see anything. Feeling puzzled, she secretly opened her eyes a crack.

This sight nearly gave him a fright.

Bei Yao had changed his posture at some point and was now kneeling upright on the bed, looking at him with an unfathomable gaze, as if he were thinking about something.

Are you angry?

No way...

He's completely abandoned all sense of decency!

"I don't like you being so reluctant," Bei Yao finally spoke after a long silence. "I also don't want you to see me as... a pervert who will stop at nothing to satisfy his own selfish desires."

Although he appears carefree and doesn't take anything to heart, he actually has a soft spot deep down.

Just like now, Jingran, in a fit of desperation, asked him for a kiss and said things like "let him go," which made Bei Yao feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

He would rather glare at him or curse at him.

That way, his guilt wouldn't be so heavy.

Jingran stared at Bei Yao, blinked, and tried to analyze the meaning of his words.

Bei Yao said he didn't want to be seen as a pervert, which might be a bit difficult, because he does look quite perverted. As for the earlier statement about not liking him, that was rather forced...

What, you want him to take the initiative?

Jingran gripped the bed sheet, feeling a bit conflicted.

Although he had become more accepting of same-sex relationships thanks to the influence of He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu, he was still a little timid when it came to it himself.

After all, he wasn't mentally prepared for this! QAQ

"You..." Bei Yao wanted to say something, but hesitated, "Never mind, let's move the things. We still have a lot of things to do..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bei Yao saw Jing Ran rush towards him, cup his face in her hands with lightning speed, and kiss him on the lips.

The soft touch sent a jolt of electricity straight to my heart; the gears of time seemed to stop turning at that moment.

……

"Those two have been gone for ages, why aren't they back yet?" He Ziyu squeezed next to Jiang Chengyu, glanced at the time on his laptop, and said, "Did Brother Yao do *that* to that brat?"

Jiang Chengyu stared at the computer screen, his left index finger laboriously typing on the keyboard. After He Ziyu finished speaking, he casually asked, "What?"

"Well... you know." He Ziyu clicked his tongue. "Jiang Chengyu, don't play dumb. I know you know everything."

Jiang Chengyu's learning ability is evident in every aspect. He learns not only book knowledge but also other things very quickly, so quickly that He Ziyu suspects that this guy will soon take over.

"I know a little more now than before, but it's still far from enough." Jiang Chengyu released the mouse and stretched his aching wrists. "I want to make you more comfortable, so you can never leave me."

He Ziyu: "!!!"

What kind of insolent and lewd words are these!

He Ziyu blushed furiously, raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Chengyu's ear, "How come I never knew you were this kind of person?!"

"I didn't know I was this kind of person before," Jiang Chengyu said with a smile. "It wasn't until I was with you that I realized I could be quite unserious. Maybe I've been assimilated by you."

"Hmm, maybe...wait, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm indecent?!"

Feeling wronged and resentful at being subjected to a "personal attack," He Ziyu sat on Jiang Chengyu and deliberately blew air into his ear. Jiang Chengyu, whose arm was injured, could not dodge and could only let him do as he pleased.

As a result, the two of them ended up kissing while arguing, and in the process, they forgot about their business.

It wasn't until the doorbell rang that He Ziyu, panting, got off Jiang Chengyu and sighed, "Beauty can ruin a country."

……

Jingran and Beiyao returned, and the two of them silently moved things without saying a word.

He Ziyu quickly realized something was wrong and pulled Jingran aside to ask him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I'm just too tired from moving things." Jing Ran avoided He Ziyu's gaze, her face practically screaming "guilty."

He would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not tell He Ziyu that he kissed Bei Yao.

And she would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never tell He Ziyu that when Bei Yao pounced on her like a hungry wolf, "Fire Seed's" bed... collapsed.

A bed board was split in two, and Bei Yao rolled directly onto the ground.

Jingran's first reaction was shock, followed by bursting into laughter. But as he laughed, his bed collapsed, and the sound of a pig squealing accompanied the loud crash of the bed board hitting the ground, trapping him in a rather strange position between the bed and the floor.

The scene was too beautiful for him to recall.

In short, he was finally pulled out of the ruins by Bei Yao. The two sat on the cold cement floor, staring at each other for two minutes, until the neighborhood committee received a complaint that the room was making too much noise and came to investigate. Only then did Jing Ran come back to his senses from the double blow.

"You...are you really alright?" He Ziyu glanced at him, his expression puzzled.

"I'm really fine!"

"Why are you walking with your butt hunched over if there's nothing wrong?"

As He Ziyu spoke, he slapped Jingran's buttocks twice.

"Ouch!" Jingran jumped back quickly like a fish hitting a hot plate, covering her little bottom.

He was thrown hard at "Fire Seed's" house; his butt still hurts. He Ziyu's slap was practically fatal.

Seeing Jingran's exaggerated reaction, He Ziyu, the seasoned driver, frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

The two of them went to move some things, and when they came back, the child's bottom was sore. Could it be...?

"He wouldn't have actually...done that to you, would he?!"

Bei Yao is clearly a veteran; it's possible he could lure Jing Ran into a dark room and do something indecent. But the problem is, these two are still minors. If something really happens, what a disaster it would be.

"What, what is it?" Jingran asked, looking down. "I just tripped and fell while moving things, and my tailbone hit the ground. It hurts a lot."

He Ziyu narrowed his eyes. "Really?"

Jingran: "Really? Really?"

Are you really still afraid to look him in the eye?

Little rascal, you don't even bother to think before you lie anymore.

Seeing that Jingran refused to confess, He Ziyu simply turned around and went to find Bei Yao.

Bei Yao was busy moving things into the house when he saw He Ziyu and assumed he was going to help, so he quickly told him to rest over there.

"Brother Yao, I have something to ask you."

"What is it?"

Bei Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked up to He Ziyu.

He Ziyu didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "What did you do to Xiao Jing?"

"Huh?" Bei Yao was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"

"Because his butt hurts," He Ziyu blurted out without thinking, then realized something was off. "I mean... he's injured, is it because of you?"

Bei Yao scratched his head. "Not really, I can only take half the responsibility. After all, we both broke the bed while playing around."

He Ziyu: "..."

Did the two of them play so much that they broke the bed?

"Did that child tattle on me again?" Bei Yao sighed, his tone devoid of any remorse, but rather tinged with a hint of regret. "Heaven and earth bear witness, I didn't mean to. I didn't know the Fire Seed's bed was so fragile; the bed frame is probably just too old..."

He Ziyu couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Bei Yao while rubbing his temples, "No, Yao-ge, this...this isn't appropriate, is it? Xiao Jing isn't even an adult yet, how could you do this to her?"

He used to think Bei Yao was a decent person, but now that he sees him saying such things so shamelessly, he feels a chill run down his spine.

He Ziyu's words also confused Bei Yao.

He just accidentally broke the bed frame. What does that have to do with whether he's an adult or not? Minors aren't allowed to be overweight?
