Chapter 287 I Help You Get Your Childhood Back
"Did you bring any coins, Lin Wanzhou?"
The boy's questioning voice came from the small pond surrounded by rusty copper chains.
In front of him was a small artificial pond planted with clusters of emerald green lotus leaves. If he looked down carefully, he could see that the bottom of the pond was covered with white coins.
"I remember I came here to throw coins when I was a kid," the girl said as she rummaged through her wallet.
She was very careful when searching. After all, her parents' generation had taught her a hundred times that wealth should not be shown to others. She stood very close to Xu Cheng, as if she was in his arms, and even pulled his arm, asking him to help cover it.
"Maybe there's another coin in there that you lost when you were a kid." Xu Cheng glanced into the pond, as if searching for the coin.
The girl didn't quite believe it . "How could it still be there? It must have been rusted a long time ago."
"Not necessarily. Coins can be preserved for a long time if they are soaked in water. If they have not been salvaged, they may still be there."
"I don't know... I don't have any coins in my wallet."
Lin Wanzhou took the schoolbag from Xu Cheng's arm and put the wallet back into the compartment of the schoolbag.
After zipping up his pants and turning back, he saw Xu Cheng had already rolled up his sleeves and was squatting on the ground.
He stretched out his hand and scratched the surface of the pond, as if he wanted to take a coin out of it.
The girl blushed for him, "What did you do, Xu Cheng? Stealing other people's money? Be careful to be struck by lightning!"
As she spoke, she tried hard to cover him up, trying to contain his huge body with her small body.
This gave me the thrill of becoming his accomplice, and I was wondering why I should care about him. Then a strange voice gave me the answer, saying something like 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog'.
Of course Xu Cheng didn't really try to fish it out. He just held the only one-yuan coin in his pocket in his palm, dipped it in the pool to dip it in the water, then stood up in surprise and waved at Lin Wanzhou.
"Look, I found the coin you lost when you were a kid."
"???"
"I just have this feeling, I feel like this is something you lost once when you were a child. Maybe this is a hint from the Buddha. If you look at it this way, our fate must be very deep. Maybe we are destined to be a match made in heaven..."
Although he was very good at seducing her, the girl was very cunning and not easy to fool.
Lin Wanzhou took the wet coin, placed it in the palm of his hand and took a look at it. In the sunlight, the coin emitted a bright white light in the palm of his hand.
He first looked at its pattern and finally saw the number 2005. Then he saw that only Xu Cheng's palms were wet, and he understood what was going on. He thought Xu Cheng must be a fool, but he didn't point it out.
Although it was silly, she still wanted him to do more for her like this.
Then he put the coin back into his palm and said, "Xu Cheng, throw it back to the owner."
"Let's throw it together, and it's like making a wish together."
"Why throw them together?"
The girl looked at him curiously, and Xu Cheng walked behind the girl and hugged her in the same position.
His body temperature allowed Lin Wanzhou to clearly feel that there was someone standing behind her, and the unique scent of Xu Cheng at the tip of her nose made her feel at ease and safe.
Xu Cheng raised his arm and pressed his forearm against Lin Wanzhou's forearm. The water marks on his hand had been evaporated by his body temperature, and now only a few drops of water remained.
The big hand wrapped the girl's palm in the center of the palm, and with the other hand stuffed the coin into the girl's hand, and whispered softly in the girl's ear.
"Let's throw it out together. The more it bounces on the water, the more wishes will come true."
"childish."
Although the girl spoke with disdain, her face was full of anticipation and excitement. Her picturesque eyebrows were curved and the corners of her mouth were raised in a beautiful arc.
"Humph, I'm the best at skipping stones. If it hasn't happened more than a dozen times, it means that the two of us are not suitable and can't work well together."
"A dozen times?"
Xu Cheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "That's a world record, right? Don't be too ridiculous, Lin Wanzhou."
"It has to be at least seven times, otherwise we won't be compatible. Husband and wife should have a tacit understanding and know each other's minds. If you can't do this, then don't even think about me marrying you in the future."
"What?"
When Xu Cheng heard that if he wanted to marry Lin Wanzhou, he had to be able to hit it at least seven times, the pressure on him suddenly doubled.
Both physically and mentally.
"Are you ready?" the girl asked him softly while he was lost in thought.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
Hearing his answer, Lin Wanzhou could not only feel his breathing getting heavier, but also clearly felt that the strength of his big hand holding her small hand was much stronger.
The two of them raised their arms high together, and the little bit of skin exposed on their arms was almost sticking together, and the posture was the same as Xu Cheng hugging Lin Wanzhou from behind.
There was no time to think of any romantic ideas. The two of them waved their arms, and when the moment was right, they loosened their fingers. The coin flew out of their hands, making a subtle sound of splashing on the calm and green pond. Green waves appeared on the surface of the pond, and the aftermath of the ripples grew larger and larger, finally reaching the side of the pond.
"Once, twice..." Xu Cheng and the girl in his arms counted with their eyes wide open.
Especially Xu Cheng.
When he learned that this little game was actually a test of whether Lin Wanzhou had a telepathic connection with him, he became even more concerned about the result.
"... five times, six times..."
pity.
Under his expectant gaze, the coin plunged into the water without making a final splash .
Just one miss.
Such an insignificant little game made Xu Cheng feel slightly disappointed for a moment, and his eyelids drooped a little.
After all, people are sometimes so idealistic. Not only does he want to prove it to the girl, he also wants to prove it to himself.
When I like you, the whole world wants us to be together.
But the seventh one was not played...
Before he could come to his senses, the girl in his arms suddenly moved and turned around.
Their eyes met for only a brief moment, but Xu Cheng felt like he would remember that second forever. Lin Wanzhou's cheeks were as stunningly beautiful as the sunset in the sky.
The next moment, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek lightly.
"Seven times."
She lowered her head and whispered.
Xu Cheng stood there in a daze. He only remembered that her lips were very soft, very light, and slightly moist.
It was clearly only a weak force, but it almost overturned the pond in Xu Cheng's heart.
When I like you, the whole world wants us to be together.
If not, then I will come to you myself...
