Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Jing Ran's voice was so loud that passersby cast strange glances at him.

Startled, Gu Wang quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, but two seconds later, she let go as if she had touched a hot potato, a few words flashing through her mind: "You can't touch my sister-in-law."

"What's going on, woof woof?" Jiang Nanqiao asked anxiously.

She just said that Xin Chuan didn't seem like a bad person...

Luckily, I didn't say those words out loud, or I would have gotten my face slapped!

"Well, well..." Gu Wang stammered for a long time, looking like he was constipated, "Oh dear, I can't say..."

His cousin is such a kind and honest person, and he's so easily embarrassed. If this gets out, how will he ever face anyone again?

Bei Yao: "Stop beating around the bush, okay? Don't you know that saying only half of what you mean is more likely to be misunderstood? It's like when you go to the toilet to poop, and you suddenly stop halfway through. No matter how clean you wipe your butt, your anus will always know that there's still a part hidden inside."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, the air froze.

The expressions on the faces of the several people became somewhat indescribable.

"You're disgusting!" Jingran couldn't help but break the silence. "What do you mean by 'buttocks and anus'? Can't you say it another way?"

Bei Yao raised an eyebrow. "Your husband is a rough guy; he just likes down-to-earth things."

Jing Ran: "..."

Oh, so he's down-to-earth too?

Finally, under duress and coercion, Gu Wang confessed under torture.

"The hotel registration record clearly states Xin Chuan's name, and the hotel staff also said that only Xin Chuan escorted my cousin in that night. After that, I wanted to find someone to beat him up, but my cousin absolutely refused, probably because he was afraid of Xin Chuan's revenge."

After Gu Wang finished speaking, the group fell silent for a moment. Just as Jiang Nanqiao was about to launch into a passionate attack, Han Zhiruo suddenly asked, "It's true that he took your cousin to the hotel, but how can you be sure that he was the one who drugged him?"

"Who else could it be but him?" Gu Wang frowned. "If he didn't have feelings for my cousin, why would he have a relationship with him? It's obvious he was the one who drugged him."

That seems to make sense...?

Upon learning of the feud between the two, He Ziyu felt somewhat uneasy.

He let Gu Chao leave because he felt that Xin Chuan wouldn't hurt him, but if what Gu Wang said was true, and Xin Chuan really did that kind of thing to Gu Chao, then wouldn't he be pushing Gu Chao into a fire pit with his own hands?

He Ziyu: "No, I have to go and find him..."

Jiang Chengyu: "Where to?"

Yeah, where to?

Why didn't he ask Xin Chuan where he was taking Gu Chao?

That blockhead!

"Forget it, Young Master He, I'll handle this mess myself," Gu Wang said. "I'll call my cousin again later, hopefully nothing bad will happen."

Even though Gu Wang said that, He Ziyu still felt quite bad, but there was nothing he could do. Xin Chuan had already disappeared and they couldn't find him. So he had no choice but to add Gu Wang to the group and ask him to notify everyone immediately if there was any news.

On the way home, He Ziyu was very worried, fearing that something had happened to Gu Chao.

"Why did I let him go? If I had been more assertive, Xin Chuan might have chickened out..."

"This is not something you can control," Jiang Chengyu comforted him. "Just like Gu Chao said, only he can resolve his issues with Xin Chuan. This time, it depends on whether they can reach an agreement."

"What's the point of talking now that he's already taken the medication? What if he goes berserk again this time..."

He Ziyu was struggling with this when a message suddenly popped up in the group chat.

It was sent by Gu Wang.

My cousin replied to my message, saying that Xin Chuan took him to the reed marshes to the west, and that we shouldn't worry.

He Ziyu: "..."

The reed marshes are such a desolate place, it's even more worrying!

Beside him, Jiang Chengyu kept his head down, pressing his phone.

He Ziyu thought he was replying to a message in the group chat, and waited for a while, but no new message popped up for a long time.

He curiously leaned his head over.

Then I saw Jiang Chengyu chatting with a stranger by a nickname, and they were having a pretty lively conversation.

He Ziyu immediately became unhappy.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

"I am here……"

Before Jiang Chengyu could finish speaking, He Ziyu couldn't help but complain, "Senior Gu Chao was taken to the reed marshes by that guy, aren't you worried at all? You actually have the leisure to chat here?"

"I……"

I don't want to talk to you!

He Ziyu turned back to look at the scenery outside the window.

Jiang Chengyu pursed his lips, wanting to touch He Ziyu, but afraid of making him angry, he hesitated for two seconds before silently withdrawing his hand.

After a long pause, he said gently, "I'm contacting friends to ask them about Xin Chuan."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window.

"I have a friend I met at a tutoring center who happens to be from No. 5 Middle School. He told me that Xin Chuan is not the kind of arrogant and rebellious devil."

"He received several disciplinary actions last year, all for standing up for his friends, and for beating up those rich kids who bullied others."

He Ziyu: "So you mean, it's safe for Senior Gu Chao to fall into his hands?"

"I wouldn't dare make such a guarantee," Jiang Chengyu said, "but this information at least shows that Xin Chuan is not the kind of person who would bully the weak."

He Ziyu frowned, snatched Jiang Chengyu's phone, and began to scroll through the chat history.

The other party seemed to be quite familiar with Xin Chuan. When stating the facts, they were quite objective, neither blindly favoring nor blindly attacking. For example, regarding Xin Chuan's use of hidden weapons to injure people, the other party said that doing so did violate the rules of the "way," but it was not excessive for those guys who bullied the weak and collected protection money from lower-grade students all day long.

Jiang Chengyu: "At first, I was also worried that he might do something to Senior Gu Chao, but when I thought of Ruoruo's guess, I suddenly felt that there was another possibility to this matter."

He Ziyu: "What possibility?"

Jiang Chengyu paused for a moment and said, "Bars are chaotic places. Gu Chao himself doesn't know who handed him that drink. In other words, it's quite possible that it wasn't Xin Chuan."

He Ziyu: "..."

What should have been a scene of petty thugs robbing and extorting money suddenly became complicated and mysterious after Jiang Chengyu's words.

After calming down, He Ziyu also began to feel that something was wrong.

If Xin Chuan really wanted to do something to Gu Chao, wouldn't it be easier to follow him to a secluded place and make his move?

Riding a big motorcycle in front of the school gate to show off, what a waste of time, is he?

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the main entrance of Bishuiwan.

Because they had to deal with Gu Chao's matter today, the two of them didn't have their driver pick them up, but instead chose to take a taxi back.

On the way to the villa, He Ziyu tugged at Jiang Chengyu's sleeve and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Chengyu paused, then quickly stopped. "What's wrong, Ayu?"

He Ziyu lowered his head. "I wasn't very nice to you in the car just now..."

At the time, he was preoccupied with Gu Chao's affairs, and upon seeing Jiang Chengyu chatting, he launched into a tirade of accusations without a second thought...

It turned out they were asking about Xin Chuan.

He Ziyu felt guilty, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize in the car. To make matters worse, Jiang Chengyu didn't say anything to him, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"You lost control of your emotions because you were nervous," Jiang Chengyu said. "Besides, you didn't hit me or yell at me. As my boyfriend, it's nice to occasionally throw a little tantrum at me; it adds spice to the relationship, isn't it?"

"What kind of fun is this!" He Ziyu said, both amused and a little sorry for Yu-ge. "Next time I yell at you, just yell back at me. I won't hold a grudge."

He Ziyu's serious expression made Jiang Chengyu laugh.

He ruffled He Ziyu's hair, looked into his eyes, and said, word by word, "I'm not afraid of you getting angry at me. Life is so long, and fights are inevitable, as long as you don't leave me."

As long as I don't leave, anything is fine.

He Ziyu stood frozen in place, locked in Jiang Chengyu's gentle gaze, a slight soreness welling up in his nose.

"You idiot..." He Ziyu chuckled, "Have you forgotten what we said the day we got together?"

"I haven't forgotten," Jiang Chengyu gently pinched his nose, "I'm just giving you a chance to change your mind, aren't I?"

"There's no going back on my word!" He Ziyu slapped Jiang Chengyu's hand away. "The best decision I've ever made in my life is being with you. Unless you betray me one day and run off with some other young heartthrob, I won't leave. No matter how much you bother me, I'll keep clinging to you and sticking to you..."

Before He Ziyu could finish speaking, Jiang Chengyu pulled him into her arms.

"Okay, then let's each rely on the other and see who can outdo the other."

The momentary temper dissipated quickly because of their mutual care, and He Ziyu was very happy. For the first time ever, he spent a little more time with Jiang Chengyu at his doorstep.

Just as the two were about to let go of each other and go home, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Ayu, Chengyu?"

He Ziyu turned around and saw that standing not far away was Jiang Guosheng, who was carrying a briefcase.

"Dad, why are you home so early today?"

Jiang Chengyu spoke first, his tone seemingly calm, but actually mixed with some tension and unease that were not easily noticed.

"Your birthday is in a few days, so I finished my meeting early today to come back and have dinner with you all," Jiang Guosheng said, picking up the paper bag in his hand. "I also bought you a gift."

"Thank you, Dad." Jiang Chengyu took the paper bag, trying his best to act naturally.

Jiang Guosheng smiled, looked at He Ziyu beside him, and asked, "Ayu, would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"

"No need, Uncle, I've gained weight recently, so I eat very little at night." He Ziyu quickly came up with a reason, "I just had Brother Yu feel it, and he also thinks I'm much heavier than before."

From the moment they separated until Jiang Guosheng appeared, only a few seconds had passed. Unsurprisingly, he must have witnessed their intimate actions.

Fortunately, they only hugged and didn't do anything more outrageous.

"You don't look fat, don't ruin your health by dieting." Jiang Guosheng maintained a kind smile. "Next time you have a chance to come over for a meal, I'll let you try my and your Aunt Shen's cooking."

He Ziyu: "Okay..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Ziyu returned home.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after closing the door, but his anxiety was not completely gone.

I don't know if it was just his imagination.

He had a feeling that Jiang Guosheng's smile just now was not simple.
