Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Standing behind the wall, which was more than two meters high, Jingran rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

This was the first time he had climbed over a wall since entering high school, and he was a little nervous. After all, it had been a long time since he had done it, and it would be embarrassing if he fell flat on his face in front of Bei Yao because of his lack of skill.

"Are you sure you want to climb over here?" Bei Yao estimated the height of the wall and was a little worried.

"What else can we do? Go through the front door and wait to get caught by the teacher?"

"But this seems a bit too high for you..."

With Jingran's height, even with a running start, he might not be able to touch the edge of the wall. Even if he did manage to climb over, how could he jump down if there was no one on the other side?

"You underestimate me. I'm a pro at scaling walls." Jingran rolled her eyes, took a few steps back, and started her run-up. "Don't blink!"

"Um, you..."

Before Bei Yao could finish speaking, the people around him rushed out with a "whoosh".

Little Lightning lived up to its name; in the blink of an eye, it was at the base of the wall, using its momentum to leap upwards and firmly grip the top edge of the wall with both hands!

Jingran has always had excellent jumping ability, often getting full marks in long jump and high jump, so this height is naturally no problem for him either.

But the problem is...

His arms are weak.

Feeling her body slowly sliding down, Jingran quickly lifted her leg to push against the wall.

The walls of the junior high school section of No. 8 Middle School are covered with ivy, making them easy to climb. However, the senior high school section was renovated last year, and there's nothing on the walls there. You can't climb anything after trying for a long time.

So, Jingran, which was hanging on the wall, began to wriggle and twist like a big worm.

Bei Yao: "..."

so poor.

So cute.

Although he should have run over to help at this moment, Jingran's desperate struggle with her hips was just too cute, so cute that Bei Yao couldn't help but take out his phone and turn on the recording function.

"Bei, Bei Yao! Help me!" Jing Ran's arm was getting more and more sore, and it looked like he was about to lose his grip. He felt like he wanted to die.

Bei Yao walked over, holding his phone, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Call me 'husband' and I'll help you."

"I don't!"

"Then just leave it hanging."

"!!!"

Jingran looked miserable, filled with regret...

If he had paid more attention to the wall before his run-up, he wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.

The crucial point is that Bei Yao, that heartless bastard, is actually laughing at him!

"Baby, call out once, and I'll come get you." Bei Yao continued to coax you from below, determined not to give up until he had tricked the little rabbit into his hands.

"I...I won't..." Jingran gritted her teeth, stubbornly refusing to comply.

"Oh, alright then, since you don't need me, I'll be going now."

"?!"

Jingran really wanted to retort, "You dare to leave? I'll divorce you right now!" but he was too tired to speak.

Seeing her fingers gradually lose strength and support, Jingran simply gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and stopped struggling.

So what if he falls? It's only a little over two meters high, he definitely won't die from the fall. But after he falls, he and Bei Yao will probably say goodbye.

Poor thing, his first love ended tragically in less than an hour o(╥﹏╥)o……

Lost in thought, Jingran let go of her hand and fell to the ground to the background music of "Goodbye Mom, I'm setting sail tonight," her eyes tightly closed as she waited for her fate.

However, the expected pain did not occur.

Jing Ran was caught by something and came to a steady stop in mid-air. When he opened his eyes again, he found Bei Yao looking at him with a half-smile.

"Is it so hard for you to call me husband?" Bei Yao stared at the little thing in his arms, a slight smile on his lips, his breath hot and tender.

"You, you didn't... leave?"

Jing Ran instinctively wrapped her arms around Bei Yao's neck, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

"You don't really think I'm going to leave you up there alone, do you?" Bei Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at him like he was a fool. "What if you break something? How am I supposed to deal with you then?"

Jing Ran: "..."

That sounds really strange!

Bei Yao smiled and pecked Jing Ran on the cheek, then put him on the ground and helped him dust off his clothes.

"It's only because your husband is strong that I can catch such a big lump like you... By the way, have you gained weight recently?"

Jingran was initially touched that Beiyao hadn't abandoned him, but after hearing what he said, he instantly lost his temper.

"What do you mean 'a lump'?! 'A lump' is used to describe poop, okay?! I only feel heavier because I'm wearing a coat!"

"Mmm, okay, whatever you say goes..." Bei Yao couldn't help but chuckle, silently smoothing out the wrinkles on Jing Ran's clothes with his large hand.

Jingran was both ashamed and angry, and turned to leave in a huff.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Go back to class."

"Not going out to eat?"

"I'm not eating anymore, and I can't get out anyway..." Jingran muttered, looking dejected.

The embarrassing scene of his failed attempt to bypass the Great Firewall was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Bei Yao took a few steps forward and grabbed Jing Ran's wrist.

"what?"

"Why don't you just step on my shoulders and flip over?"

Jing Ran paused, her gaze sweeping over Bei Yao's light-colored coat.

"No, no, your clothes are such a light color, they'll get dirty."

"We can wash it when it gets dirty." Bei Yao didn't care, pulled Jing Ran back to the wall, half-squatted down and patted his shoulder, "Step here."

Jingran hesitated for a moment, until Beiyao urged her again, then she held onto the wall and carefully stepped onto it.

Bei Yao's shoulders were broad and stable, so there was no need to worry about stepping into the air. Jing Ran slowly stood up, braced herself with her hands, and sat down smoothly against the wall.

"Sit down first, and I'll climb over to get you from the other side," Bei Yao said, stretching his limbs on the spot.

Jingran: "You've never even climbed over a wall before, do you think you can do it?"

Bei Yao: "Whether it works or not, we'll only know by trying."

Jingran wanted to tell him not to be stubborn, and if he couldn't turn things around, so be it. After all, even he, an experienced person, had failed to achieve his goal.

However, before he could even speak, Bei Yao rushed over from a distance, taking three steps at a time, and leaped up at him.

Jing Ran: "???"

Hello? Is this 110? Someone's cheating here!

Bei Yao dusted off his hands, glanced behind him to make sure there were no obstacles behind the wall, and then took a long stride and jumped down as lightly as a swallow.

The skill with which he moved left Jingran speechless.

"Come on, baby, jump into your husband's arms." Bei Yao opened his arms and raised an eyebrow at him cheekily.

Jing Ran: "..."

How despicable! I must be out of my mind to have fallen for this guy.

Enticed by Bei Yao, Jing Ran gritted her teeth and jumped into his arms...

……

The two who successfully escaped from prison arrived at Yuecheng East Street and headed straight for a skewer restaurant.

"The skewers at this restaurant are super delicious! I used to skip class with Ayu to come here to eat all the time..." Jingran sat down in her usual spot and reached out to ask the waiter for a menu.

A short while later, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked over.

"Isn't this Jingran? It's been a long time since I've seen you." The woman was very happy to see Jingran and greeted him warmly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the woman's gaze fell on Bei Yao.

"Huh, why is it a different person today? Where's A-Yu?"

"Him? He's in class." Jingran scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

He used to skip classes openly and honestly, not caring about anyone's opinions. But for some reason, ever since He Ziyu changed his ways, he has become much more thin-skinned, always feeling like he is doing something wrong.

The woman glanced at Jing Ran, then at Bei Yao, as if she understood something, and said with a smile, "Since you've brought new friends, all the drinks are free for you today. Feel free to take whatever you like from the freezer later."

Upon hearing this, Jingran quickly thanked him, as happy as a 200-pound fat man.

"Brother Yao, you can look at the menu first. I'll go get the skewers. Remember to order me some fried milk!"

"Okay, sure."

Jingran took off her coat, ran to the glass cabinet, picked up a plastic basket and started filling it with things.

Meanwhile, Bei Yao silently flipped through the menu.

Normally, he wouldn't consider the price of such an affordable skewers shop, but things are different now.

He knew Jingran was rich, but he didn't want Jingran to pay. Even if Jingran had to pay, they should at least split the bill. Otherwise, his damn pride would definitely kick in and make him uncomfortable throughout the meal.

After looking at the menu, Bei Yao waved to the woman.

The woman wiped her hands on her apron and walked over with a smile.

"Young man, what would you like to order?"

"I'd like a serving of fried milk."

"Anything else?"

Bei Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What did Xiao Jing like to eat before?"

"He likes to eat sweet things with salty things, like osmanthus-flavored lotus root and ice jelly."

"Then give me one of each."

"Okay, no problem."

"Oh, right..." Bei Yao called out to the woman who was about to turn around, took out his wallet from his pocket, and pulled out two hundred yuan. "Please keep this money for now. Don't tell him I paid it. Xiao Jing will pay the rest. Just say... the store is having a discount today, okay?"

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this, then seemed to understand something and took the two hundred yuan from him.

"I understand, I promise I won't let him find out."

"thank you."

After completing this series of operations, Bei Yao felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

These two hundred yuan were originally his last savings to get through the end of the month.

It seems the only option now is to go back to class and "extort" Gu Yan a sum of money.

……

After a while, Jingran returned to her seat carrying a large basket of skewers.

He couldn't normally eat that much, but thinking about how pitiful Bei Yao had been eating instant noodles these past few days, and not wanting him to suffer, he insisted on filling the basket with twice the usual amount, until it was almost overflowing.

"So many, can we finish them all?" Bei Yao looked at the mountain of skewers, both amused and exasperated.

"If we can't finish it, we can pack it up and take it back for Ayu and the others to eat." Jingran calmly rolled up her sleeves and started putting skewers into the pot.

Soon, the dishes that Bei Yao had ordered were served.

Looking at the dazzling array of sweets, Jingran's eyes widened in surprise.

"Can you believe it? These are all my favorite foods!"

"Our tastes are so similar!"
