Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

He Ziyu led Bei Yao to the dressing room.

After moving, the old house's walk-in closet was almost entirely turned into a storage room, though there were still some items left inside.

He Ziyu pulled out a bottle of perfume and a box of hair wax, transforming himself into Bei Yao's personal stylist.

"The clothes you're wearing just arrived and haven't been washed yet. They have a synthetic smell. Try covering it up with perfume..."

"Your bangs are a bit long, let me use hair wax to style them so you look more refreshed..."

Bei Yao was like a professional model hired by He Ziyu, obediently accepting his manipulation.

After a while, the doorbell rang. He Ziyu took out a tissue to wipe his hands and ran out to open the door.

Jiang Chengyu and Han Zhiruo were outside the door. The two used each other as cover, successfully gaining their freedom for the weekend.

"You've arrived?" He Ziyu helped the two with slippers and eagerly led them into the living room.

Bei Yao was admiring himself in front of the full-length mirror in the living room when he saw the two of them and greeted them naturally: "Hi, good morning."

Jiang Chengyu was taken aback: "Brother Yao? What brings you here?"

"I……"

Before Bei Yao could explain, He Ziyu helped him turn around.

"Yu-ge, Ruo-ruo, what do you guys think of Yao-ge's look today? Is he handsome?"

Han Zhiruo: "Not bad, quite sunny."

Jiang Chengyu: "He looks a bit like a movie star."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu explained to the two with a smug look on his face, "Brother Yao is going to visit Xiao Jing's house today, so I made some minor modifications for him. Since you both think it's fine, then it's definitely fine."

"Going to Xiao Jing's house as a guest?" Han Zhiruo raised her eyebrows slightly. "You two are developing at an unusually fast pace."

"Of course! Don't you know who I am?" Bei Yao raised his eyebrows narcissistically, then looked at Jiang Chengyu, "Our guild leader should also work hard! The door to happiness will open for you and Ayu one day~"

Jiang Chengyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

……

Bei Yao left shortly afterward, saying he was going to buy some gifts. After he left, the three of them quickly got back to work.

He Ziyu, who was reborn seven years later, knew that self-media would be very developed in the future. Therefore, in the process of connecting with publishing, he also helped "Fire Seed" set up a personal website, regularly updating some comic information and short stories, and accumulating fans.

In a few years, traffic will be money.

He not only wants to get "Fire Seed" works into the market, but also to make the name "Fire Seed" a household name and secure a place for it in the comic book industry.

……

In the afternoon, Bei Yao, carrying various sizes of plastic bags, rang Jing Ran's doorbell.

It was Jing's mother who opened the door. When she saw Bei Yao, her mouth instantly stretched to her ears. She took the things from his hands and pushed him inside.

"Oh, Yao Yao, you've finally arrived! Auntie has been waiting so long! Next time, you don't need to bring so much stuff, just come straight here. Please come in, please come in..."

Jing's mother led Bei Yao to the living room, had him sit on the sofa, and served him tea, snacks, and fruit.

"These are cookies that my aunt brought back from Türkiye, and these fruits too. They were all air-freighted in this morning and are very fresh..."

"Thank you, Auntie. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Bei Yao had always thought Jing Ran was quite eloquent, until he met Jing's mother and realized what it meant for the younger generation to surpass the older generation, with the older generation always standing at the top.

Jing's mother said "I know" but her hands were still reaching for snacks under the coffee table, and her eyes kept glancing at Bei Yao. She seemed to like him no matter how you looked at him.

Bei Yao seems even more handsome today than when we first met. He has a bit of Bei Cong's look in his eyes and is just as good as the models in magazines.

Bei Yao felt a little awkward under his gaze, licked his lips, and asked, "Auntie, where's Xiao Jing? Isn't he home?"

"Him..." Mentioning Jingran, Jing's mother's face immediately fell. "He was playing games until the wee hours of the morning yesterday and still hasn't gotten up. He's sleeping like a log. You wait, I'll go drag him out of bed!"

"Hey, um..." Bei Yao called out to Jing's mother, "I'll go call him."

Upon hearing this, Jing's mother stopped rolling up her sleeves.

"Okay, go and wake him up. He should wake up soon."

A handsome guy waking you up – who wouldn't be tempted?

If she were twenty years younger, she would definitely hold onto Bei Yao every day and never let go.

Bei Yao arrived at Jing Ran's bedroom, carefully pushed open the door, and immediately saw the little darling lying sprawled on the bed.

Jingran was sleeping soundly, snoring softly from time to time. Beiyao tiptoed over and sat down by the bed.

Jing Ran: "Phew..."

Bei Yao: "..."

It was going to be dark in a few hours, and this guy was still sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice someone coming into the room. You can imagine how much fun he had last night.

Bei Yao stared at the sleeping Jing Ran for a while, but couldn't bear to wake him. So he simply took out his phone and started secretly taking pictures of his sleeping posture.

The room was blasting heat, and Jingran, feeling so hot, lifted her pajamas to reveal her round belly. Bei Yao, with a lecherous grin on his face, was taking a 360-degree, all-around photo...

Feeling the bed beneath him sway slightly, Jingran frowned and woke up from his deep sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Beiyao straddling him, his phone camera pointed at his bare belly.

Jing Ran: "..."

Bei Yao: "..."

The air instantly became extremely quiet.

The two remained staring at each other for a few seconds until Bei Yao put down his phone. Only then did Jing Ran open her big, round eyes and ask him, "What are you doing?"

"I'll take your picture."

Why are you taking pictures of me...?

"For DIY at home."

Jingran paused for two seconds upon hearing this, then blushed and quickly pulled her clothes down.

"Could you please stop driving all the time?"

Driving without a license can easily lead to accidents, you know...

Bei Yao chuckled, placing his hands on either side of Jing Ran and looking down at him.

"I'm your boyfriend now, what's wrong with driving a car? Besides, I was just joking, I didn't actually do anything."

Jingran's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands.

"Just venting your anger is bad enough, what more do you want!"

"I want to..." Bei Yao slowly bent his strong arms like he was doing a push-up, and a handsome face got closer and closer to him.

The hot breath mixed with the scent of perfume sprayed on his face, making Jingran, who had just woken up, feel a little dizzy. With the "boyfriend filter" on his mind, he felt for the first time that Bei Yao was more handsome than any other boy he had ever seen.

Just as Bei Yao's lips were about to touch hers, Jing Ran tightly closed her eyes.

However, the next second...

"Is this little brat not going to wake up? I just bought a new rolling pin, I'll see if I don't... uh..."

When Jing's mother saw that the two of them hadn't come downstairs for a while, she assumed that Jingran was still asleep, so she picked up a rolling pin and went upstairs. But as soon as she got to the door, she stumbled upon such a shocking scene.

"Um... I'm sorry to have disturbed you. Please continue, please continue..." Jing's mother smiled awkwardly, then slammed the door shut and fled.

Jingran was so startled by her mother's sudden visit that her mind went blank. After a moment of stunned silence, she sprang up and, by sheer bad luck, bumped her forehead into Beiyao's high nose.

"Ugh..." Bei Yao groaned, covering his nose and bending over.

Jingran was startled and quickly went over to her. "Are you alright? Did you fall badly?"

Bei Yao curled up like a shrimp and didn't utter a sound.

"Bei Yao?"

"..."

"Brother Yao?"

"..."

Jingran called Beiyao several times but received no response, which made her increasingly anxious.

Today is Bei Yao's first time visiting his home. If he gets hurt, how will he explain it to Uncle Shuai?

Just as he was thinking of a way to shift the blame, the shrimp in front of him suddenly straightened up and pounced on him onto the bed!

Bei Yao curled the corners of his lips into a smile, and before Jing Ran could speak, he leaned down and sealed his lips with his...

……

Jingran's parents are similar to He Ziyu's parents, both following the traditional model of the husband working outside the home and the wife staying at home. In the early years, Jingran's mother also worked outside the home, and the couple left Jingran to be raised by his grandparents. Later, when Jingran started elementary school, Jingran's mother realized that she had missed too many of her son's growth moments, so she resolutely quit her job and became a full-time housewife.

As Jingran grew up, her life as a full-time housewife became more and more leisurely. When Jingran was not at home, she would either meet up with her girlfriends for afternoon tea or do flower arranging and gardening at home. Sometimes, when she was bored, she would also look for novels to read online.

It was two years ago that she came across the legendary BL (Boys' Love) novels.

At first, Jing's mother read it as a romance novel, until the author wrote a passage about a tricycle and described the size of the two protagonists in detail...

From then on, Jing's mother became completely engrossed in reading BL novels.

This is also the biggest reason why she can so readily accept Jingran's liking for boys.

That evening, Jing's mother personally cooked for her two children.

Bei Yao had previously obtained a recipe from Jiang Nanqiao and learned a few dishes. In order to leave a better impression on Jing's mother, he volunteered to be her assistant.

Jing's mother was already smitten with Bei Yao's appearance, and after learning that he could also cook, she almost contacted a fortune teller on the spot to calculate an auspicious day for the two of them to get married.

Jingran wasn't idle either.

While his mother and Beiyao were busy in the kitchen, he ran to his bedroom and began to write his homework furiously.

As expected, Bei Yao will be staying here tonight. Seeing how much his mother likes him, she'll probably invite him to stay for dinner tomorrow night.

He certainly wouldn't have time to do his homework during this period, so he could only squeeze in time to complete his tasks and try to make the most of his time to spend with Bei Yao.

After a while, a steaming hot dinner was served.

To celebrate Jingran bringing back such an outstanding son for her, Jing's mother specially opened a bottle of red wine.

"Your uncle is away on a business trip and won't be back this month, but I've already sent him your photo, and he's very happy with it!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Yao's thick skin flushed red.

"Uh, thank you, Uncle..."

"No need to thank me, we're family now."

Jing's mother was very enthusiastic, serving Bei Yao food and chatting with him, almost forgetting that there was another person at the table.

It wasn't until halfway through the meal that I remembered I still had something to ask Bei Yao.

Mrs. Jing put down her chopsticks and said, "Um, Yao Yao, Auntie has a favor to ask, and I hope you can help me..."
