Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 366
Chapter 366: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (49)
Shen Mubei stuffed a chip into her mouth, watching the young male lead on stage, and asked, “What are you joking about?”
Xu Lin, seeing her expression was genuine, asked, “Do you know who the princess school grass An was talking about?”
Shen Mubei replied, “I’d like to know too.”
She silently thought to herself that the young male lead was starting to have his own little secrets.
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but sigh, feeling like the cabbage she had grown was about to be taken away by someone else.
As the school festival came to an end, the sun’s dim light had reached the horizon. Students were gradually packing up and leaving the campus.
Waiting in the usual spot for the young male lead to arrive, Shen Mubei checked the time and saw that there were three minutes left until the No. 11 bus arrived.
From a distance, she saw him standing out among the crowd. The boy in the white shirt walked towards her, his delicate face wearing a gentle smile, with the entire golden sky behind him serving as a backdrop.
Shen Mubei waved and said, “Ziyu, let’s go; the bus is coming.”
An Ziyu stopped a few steps in front of her, his eyes curving into a smile and his voice soft, “Luoluo, do you remember the time when you carried me home when we were kids?”
Shen Mubei was taken aback, recalling their childhood, “Yes, I remember. You fell during gym class and scraped your knee.”
She couldn’t help but laugh a little at the memory; the young male lead was so amusing back then, not like now.
An Ziyu looked down at the girl, his lips curving up, “How about we switch places for a moment?”
Shen Mubei said, “Ziyu, stop joking. Otherwise, we’ll miss the bus.”
An Ziyu’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
“Back then, I said I’d carry you next time. You said you were too heavy and that I couldn’t carry you.”
He actually envied his younger self and even felt a bit jealous for being able to approach her freely with innocent disregard. Now, he was afraid he couldn’t control his inner greed and desires and worried that he might scare her.
Shen Mubei tried to suppress her laughter, “That’s because I was afraid telling the truth might hurt your little man’s pride.”
An Ziyu slightly raised his lips, his glass-like eyes gazing at the girl before him, “Even by middle school, I was still shorter than you.”
Shen Mubei said, “You grew up so fast later on.”
As if recalling something, she fell silent and looked up cautiously at the young male lead.
An Ziyu lowered his gaze briefly before lifting it again, offering a soft smile, “It’s been a long time.”
In Shen Mubei’s eyes, the melancholy of the young male lead was deeply touching.
To lighten the mood, she said, “Look, now I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach your head. No matter how much milk I drink, I can’t seem to grow taller.”
An Ziyu chuckled lightly, “Would you like a chance to change that?”
Shen Mubei looked at him with some confusion, “Hmm? What chance?”
An Ziyu turned around, tilting his face with a smile, “Don’t you want to stop having to stand on tiptoes to reach my head?”
Shen Mubei touched her nose and said, “Ziyu, stop fooling around.”
An Ziyu softly said, “Later, I asked my mom, and she said if I drank more milk, I’d grow tall enough to carry you. I drank milk for a long time, but it didn’t work.”
He smiled, looking at her with gentle eyes, “Eventually, we both grew up.”
