Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

That evening, He Ningqiu did not return to Xinrong Home.

He Ziyu saw that the rain was heavy outside and wanted to go out to look for it, but Jingran stopped him.

"We didn't force him to leave. He wanted to leave on his own, so why are you looking for him?"

"That's right," Jiang Nanqiao agreed. "He did something wrong and doesn't dare to face Huozi or anyone else. Let him fend for himself."

Jingran chewed on the pearls and nodded repeatedly.

He Ziyu was still a little worried, so he turned to Jiang Chengyu, wanting to ask for his opinion. But Jiang Chengyu stood up and said, "It's getting late, Ziyu and I will go and rest first."

"Huh?"

He Ziyu glanced at the time on the wall; it was only a little past nine.

He usually spends this time doing practice problems and isn't sleepy at all, so he said to Jiang Chengyu, "You go to sleep first, I'll come back later..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Ziyu felt a warmth in his palm.

Jiang Chengyu grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the sofa.

Jiang Chengyu: "It's so humid here, I want to take a shower, can you help me?"

He Ziyu: "Uh..."

Jingran had just taken a big gulp of milk tea when he heard Jiang Chengyu ask He Ziyu to help him take a bath. He choked instantly, and the milk tea dripped out from between his lips and onto his pants.

Seeing this, Bei Yao quickly pulled out two tissues, wiping his mouth while complaining, "You can get milk tea all over your face, are you a kindergarten kid?"

Jing Ran, "..."

"You even got it on your pants," Bei Yao muttered. "Take your pants off before you go to bed, and I'll wash them for you."

Caught between two couples, Jiang Nanqiao: "QAQ."

What's going on here? Are you comparing whose dog food is cheaper and comes in a bigger bowl?

Although she thoroughly enjoyed the dog food from both brands, but...

What was that fleeting feeling of envy in my heart?

……

Jiang Chengyu pulled He Ziyu back to the bedroom and closed the door.

Jiang Chengyu: "Although I don't think He Ningqiu deserves sympathy, if you insist on going out to find him, I'm willing to go with you."

One autumn rain brings a chill, and it's easy to catch a cold if you go out in this weather. If He Ziyu gets sick because he went out to find He Ningqiu, he will be very unhappy and may even take his anger out on He Ningqiu. As for the others, they probably think the same way.

"No, no, it's too cold outside, and your injury hasn't healed yet." He Ziyu refused decisively. After saying that, he realized that Jiang Chengyu might be worried about him, so he explained gently, "I just saw that the rain was too heavy outside, and I was afraid that something might happen to him, and my parents would come after me..."

"That's his own fault." Jiang Chengyu looked at him, her tone firm. "Ayu, I know you're kind at heart and easily swayed, but you need to know that kindness is a double-edged sword. While it can warm others, it can also hurt yourself."

He Ziyu: "Brother Yu..."

"I'm telling you this for no other reason than I don't want you to waste your kindness on unworthy people, and I don't want you to get hurt because of it," Jiang Chengyu said. "He Ningqiu's jealousy and dissatisfaction are written all over his face. Others may not be able to see it, but I can see it more clearly than anyone else, because he coveted the person I care about most and crossed my bottom line."

"Today, He Ningqiu's act of secretly photographing the manuscript of the Fire Seed is enough to prove that he has malicious intentions and has already put them into action. We must be wary of such a person and nip his thoughts in the bud."

"If you can't bring yourself to shut him out, then let me be the bad guy."

After Jiang Chengyu finished speaking, he took He Ziyu's hand with a very serious expression.

These words struck a chord with He Ziyu, causing his Adam's apple to bob slightly and his eyes to well up with tears.

Kindness is indeed a double-edged sword, but he didn't know that in his past life, and no one ever said these heartfelt words to him.

So he chose to trust He Ningqiu, handing him the sharp dagger, only to end up with his family destroyed and himself covered in wounds.

Looking back now, it's not that God didn't give him opportunities in his past life, but he chose the wrong options every time, which ultimately led him down a path of no return...

Fortunately, in this life he has Jiang Chengyu.

Jiang Chengyu was like a knight in armor. Even before the war horn had sounded, he felt incredibly at ease, as if as long as Jiang Chengyu was by his side, no difficulty was insurmountable.

"No need, Brother Yu, I can handle these things myself." He Ziyu gently squeezed Jiang Chengyu's hand. "Besides, I promise you I won't be soft-hearted towards him. Just be a good student and leave everything else to me, okay?"

"Oh no!" Jiang Chengyu pulled He Ziyu into his arms with a forceful wrist movement. "I'm your husband, your business is my business."

When Jiang Chengyu suddenly referred to himself as "my husband," He Ziyu was taken aback, and then his eyes widened as wide as grapes.

"What did you say?"

"I said, your business is my business."

"The sentence before that!"

"I'm your husband."

He Ziyu stared at him for a few seconds, and soon a blush crept onto his cheeks.

"Where did you learn all this? I don't think I taught you any of this!"

"Just because you didn't teach me doesn't mean I can't learn on my own." Jiang Chengyu smiled frankly.

"Stop talking nonsense. You wouldn't investigate those things yourself, would you? It's definitely Bei Yao, right? That guy ruined Xiao Jing and now he's ruined you both. He'll drag you both down with him sooner or later." After saying that, He Ziyu muttered, "Besides, why are you my husband..."

"What else?" Jiang Chengyu tilted his head and looked at him. "I heard from Yao-ge that when two boys are in love, they must be two different types. If one of them is the other, the other has to compromise and either be the dominant one or the submissive one for love."

He Ziyu: "..." As expected, it was that old fox from Beiyao, who "pollutes" innocent young men every day.

"I think neither of us needs to compromise," Jiang Chengyu said, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "In other words, we're a perfect match."

He Ziyu paused for two seconds, then realized what Jiang Chengyu was saying, and in a fit of anger, he pinned him to the bed.

"What do you mean 'just right'?! Hmm? I'm clearly the dominant one here!"

"Okay, okay, you are."

Jiang Chengyu verbally agreed, but he didn't really think so.

After all, Bei Yao told him that whether he was the top or the bottom would be decided in bed. Once his arm was healed and the time was right, would he still let He Ziyu do this to him?

The answer is obviously no.

……

Because Jiang Chengyu's arm was still injured, He Ziyu didn't dare to make too much of a fuss. Seeing that he was giving in, he stopped in time and dragged him into the bathroom.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? I'm helping you take a bath." He Ziyu lowered the toilet seat, let Jiang Chengyu sit on it, and then started to help him take off his clothes.

"No need, Ayu, I was just making an excuse, I didn't really mean to make you..."

"Stop talking nonsense." He Ziyu glared at him and said, "Your arm is injured, you usually just wipe it, right? You don't mind the dirt, but I do."

Jiang Chengyu blushed at what He Ziyu said and let him lift up his clothes.

In the days since his injury, He Ziyu has been feeding him, washing his face and hair, and accompanying him to the toilet, all of which he has silently accepted.

But taking a shower...

To be honest, he's quite shy.

He Ziyu struggled with Jiang Chengyu's clothes for a long time, but no matter what he did, it looked awkward. Finally, he sighed and said, "No, I have to go get a pair of scissors."

Jiang Chengyu: "???"

"Your cast is getting in the way, I need to cut your clothes..."

"Ayu, calm down." Jiang Chengyu was both amused and exasperated. "If you cut it, what am I supposed to wear?"

He Ziyu brought most of his clothes with him when he moved to Bishuiwan. He didn't bring many extra pieces with him, in case he found out he had nothing to wear after cutting them up, which would be a laughing stock.

He Ziyu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "With such a big house, we should be able to find something you can wear!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the bathroom.

When he returned, he had a pair of scissors in his hand and a strange smile on his lips.

He Ziyu: "My little darling, let your big brother take good care of you."

Jiang Chengyu: "..."

The thought of tearing Jiang Chengyu's clothes and doing *that* to him was so stimulating it made his nose bleed. With this wicked idea in mind, He Ziyu walked up to Jiang Chengyu, lifted his shirt, and cut it without hesitation.

The clothes ripped open, and He Ziyu ripped them open. The fabric hissed as it tore open, a sound that brought to mind countless images.

"Ah Yu, be gentle, oh..."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to give it my all... Heh, ha!"

At that time, outside the bathroom door.

Jingran held her second cup of milk tea, her brain completely blank.

His pants got dirty from the milk tea, and he wanted to ask He Ziyu if he had any spare pajama pants. But as soon as he arrived, he overheard this stimulating conversation.

Moreover, there seemed to be a tearing sound coming from inside?

Is this really exciting?! ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄O⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

"They're all lovey-dovey, why are you standing here trying to steal their thunder?" Bei Yao had just finished showering, with a towel still around his neck. Seeing Jing Ran standing motionless at the bathroom door, he curiously walked over, bent down, and leaned close to Jing Ran's face. "Are you envious of them? If you are, come find your brother Yao, and I'll make sure you're happy."

Jingran turned her head and glared at him, then kicked him in the calf. "I don't need that!"

Bei Yao narrowed his eyes, pulled the towel off his neck, wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled him into his embrace. "Why are you being so fierce, little guy? Weren't you quite into kissing me during the day?"

It would have been better if Bei Yao hadn't brought it up, because as soon as he did, Jing Ran's face turned bright red, and she started pounding Bei Yao's chest with both hands.

"I didn't! You must be dreaming! Let me go!"

"I won't let go."

Bei Yao raised the corners of his mouth, grabbed Jing Ran behind the knees without saying a word, and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

"you!!!"

"Keep your voice down." Bei Yao smacked Jing Ran's bottom. "I've given you the bathroom. You're all sweaty from running around all day. Go wash up quickly so I can cuddle you tonight."

Jing, feeling utterly hopeless: What should I do if I suddenly don't want to live anymore...?

……

The scene returns to the bathroom, where He Ziyu finally tears open Jiang Chengyu's clothes.

The place was a mess.

Jiang Chengyu: "Isn't there a pair of scissors over there...?"

He Ziyu: "Yeah, but tearing it apart with your bare hands is more exciting. You idiot wouldn't understand."

Jiang Chengyu: "..." It seems like my strange knowledge has increased again?

Before he could figure out what was going on, He Ziyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stand up, let me take your pants off too."
