Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 112 [111] Choosing a Good Hotel (Fourth Update)
"You need to lose weight."

Xu Jinhuan continued chatting with Song Zhiyu, "I'll be generous and help you with some of the food."

Song Zhiyu: "???"

Song Zhiyu: "You dare say I'm fat?"

Song Zhiyu: "I'm 165cm tall and weigh less than 100 pounds. Am I fat?"

Xu Jinhuan: "I'm just being prepared; it's because I care about you."

Song Zhiyu: "Pah!"

Song Zhiyu: "Go and worry about your Xingzhu instead!"

Xu Jinhuan: "Her figure is much more standard, okay?"

Song Zhiyu: "More?"

Song Zhiyu: "You mean she has a better figure than me?"

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

Xu Jinhuan: "I'm going to class now, bye-bye."

He decisively put down his phone and bury his head in the sand, not because he was afraid of Song Zhiyu, but because he knew that arguing like this would never end and he would never be able to reason with her.

"Stop thinking about it, let's go."

After finally getting through four classes, Xie Zhiqiang and the others were still discussing Sun Hanlei's report on the way out of the teaching building. Xu Jinhuan didn't get involved and quickly rode his bicycle home.

"Phew... I'm back!"

Xu Jinhuan unlocked the door and pretended to be out of breath because she was in a hurry to get home. Then she saw Song Zhiyu peeking half her body out of the kitchen and snorting, "Who cares if you come back or not?"

"Are you cooking?"

Xu Jinhuan was very surprised, "Then it was worth climbing up to the fourth floor in one go... Don't worry, even if it tastes terrible, I will still eat it."

"whispering sound!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes again, pretending not to want to pay attention to him.

Xu Jinhuan went to the kitchen and, as expected, saw his mother cooking, with Song Zhiyu just chatting beside her.

Xu Jinhuan greeted her mother, then asked Song Zhiyu with a smile, "Is there any for me?"

"no!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes. "You can eat the leftovers after we finish eating."

"You can't tell the difference between the two kings, can you?"

Xu Jinhuan knew her personality and didn't deliberately avoid these topics, saying, "My mom is the one cooking!"

"This is still my aunt!"

Song Zhiyu raised her chin, "Besides, I bought the groceries myself. Although my aunt gave me money, I didn't charge her a delivery fee..."

"Okay, you did the work, so you're right."

Xu Jinhuan readily admitted defeat, "Next time I'm not coming home for dinner, I'll definitely let you know in advance... Is that okay?"

"Who cares about you?"

Song Zhiyu snorted and rolled her eyes again, but she didn't mention Xu Jinhuan not having lunch. Instead, she asked, "Did you tell your homeroom teacher that I went to study at a secondary school?"

"No, our homeroom teacher doesn't have any classes today."

Xu Jinhuan had long forgotten about it, but didn't dare tell her, lest she cause trouble again. "I'll see if she comes during evening self-study. If she does, I'll ask her."

Although Song Zhiyu is not her biological sister, at the age of fifteen, she seems to be much more troublesome than her biological sister in later years. Her ability to cause trouble is no less worry-free than that of a biological sister.

"You should talk to your teacher, Mr. Fu, about this."

The siblings had been bickering, and Song Xiaohui, focused on cooking, finally chimed in, "Always staying at home, you can't even find anyone to ask when you have a problem. Besides, your grades in junior high weren't good either..."

"I see."

Xu Jinhuan agreed. Song Zhiyu looked at him, pouted, and looked away. Then she turned back to him and instructed, "I mean, I mean your class. Don't make me go to another class."

"As if my words carry any weight..."

Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes.

Song Zhiyu was quite adaptable; when she needed his help, her attitude immediately became incredibly good, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she said sweetly, "Thank you, brother~ When I learn to cook, the first thing I'll cook for you is!"

"Then I'll wait until 2025 and still have no chance!"

Even after several years of lockdown during special periods, Song Zhiyu only learned how to cook instant noodles and fried rice by following tutorials. Strictly speaking, fried rice can already be considered cooking, and it tastes quite good.

However, she rarely cooked for him, especially after they had a falling out because of Xu Jinhuan's dissolute behavior.

"what?"

Song Zhiyu blinked in confusion, "Why 2025?"

"It sounds good."

Xu Jinhuan didn't explain. His father had eaten out for lunch and hadn't returned. The three of them ate lunch, and Xu Jinhuan continued washing the dishes. Then he went back to his room for a nap, and after waking up, he fiddled with the game for a while before returning to school. During evening self-study, Fu Qingxuan indeed came to the classroom. Xu Jinhuan followed her to the corridor and briefly explained Song Zhiyu's situation.

"Then she won't be able to study even if she comes to our class, right?"

After listening to him, Fu Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Teacher Zhuang's sister is a teacher in our junior high school. I'll ask her tonight to see if your sister can study in the third grade class for two months."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Fu."

Xu Jinhuan quickly thanked him. This was more convenient than attending high school on a temporary basis, and he didn't have to worry about Song Zhiyu being annoying by hanging around him all day.

"Huh! Huh..."

After evening self-study, Xie Zhiqiang still went running with Xu Jinhuan, and it seemed that he was determined to persevere.

His physical fitness was indeed lacking, and Xu Jinhuan was worried about discouraging him, so he only made him run two laps, and then he walked and ran while waiting for her.

Afterwards, the two of them slaughtered each other again, but Xie Zhiqiang was in real pain, while Xu Jinhuan could relax his muscles without Xie Zhiqiang stepping on him.

"Go to bed early and stop staying up late playing games."

Xu Jinhuan cautioned, "Be careful of sudden death!"

"how do you know?"

Xie Zhiqiang was a little surprised. He had indeed played games with "Tao Tao" again after school last night, but he hadn't mentioned it to anyone. He didn't know how Xu Jinhuan knew.

"It's easy to guess."

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes. Xie Zhiqiang thought he had met his true love in the game, and Ding Wenjie thought he was getting close to Xie Wanqing. It would be strange if they didn't get into a passionate relationship!

If Xie Wanqing hadn't consistently shown Ding Wenjie the cold shoulder, preventing Ding Wenjie from revealing his true intentions, Xu Jinhuan believed that the two would have communicated directly within a week, leading to the truth coming to light.

"understood."

Xie Zhiqiang was indeed tired, but after returning home, taking a shower, and sitting down at his computer, he couldn't resist logging into the game.

His computer is several years old. He didn't know much about computers back then, and the configuration was outdated. Now it's very laggy when playing games. Xie Zhiqiang used to refuse to use it, but yesterday he used various methods such as modifying the graphics settings and unlocking performance to make it run more smoothly.

Upon logging into the game, the "Peach Fairy" was indeed online and quickly sent Xie Zhiqiang a message:
"You're online?"

"in or out?"

Xie Zhiqiang instantly felt refreshed and quickly typed back, "I can play two rounds."

……

"Go to a junior high school to study temporarily?"

When Xu Jinhuan returned home, his parents asked about the matter of studying at the school on his behalf. He answered truthfully, thinking that Song Zhiyu would be very happy. However, to his surprise, she immediately pouted after hearing the answer.

"Going to junior high school is good."

Xu Haiguang said, "You're already reviewing for junior high school, and you're still in your final year. You won't be able to learn high school material anyway."

"correct."

Song Xiaohui didn't rush to speak. She looked Song Zhiyu up and down for a while before saying, "Go ahead, it's only for two months... We should go and thank them later."

"We should go."

This matter not only troubled Fu Qingxuan, but also required her to ask someone else for help. Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui had originally planned to thank her if things went well, and now they naturally couldn't avoid it.

"Okay."

Song Zhiyu knew they made sense, so she puffed out her cheeks and agreed, looking a little unhappy.

Xu Jinhuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? You don't seem happy about going to junior high?"

"The third year of junior high school is about to take the high school entrance exam, so the atmosphere in the class must be very tense."

Song Zhiyu hummed and said, "The first and second years of high school are so easy and fun."

"Study hard, you might even meet your classmates from your next year of high school."

Xu Jinhuan adopted the older brother's tone and scolded, "Don't just think about playing all day long. What if you do poorly in the entrance exam? Your dad will lose face too."

"You're really meddling?"

Song Zhiyu still looked sullen, and rolled her eyes at him, "Go take a shower, you smell awful."

"A dog bites Lü Dongbin."

Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself, grabbed his clothes, and went to take a shower. He was almost used to her strange behavior.

After taking a shower, he returned to his room and continued tinkering with the game, only to find that the US server's review process was quite efficient, and Flappy Bird was already available on the US server.

"Hopefully the North American server will become popular soon."

Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself that it was really inconvenient to do things without money, especially as the weather was getting hotter. He urgently needed money to install air conditioning to improve the living conditions of himself and his family.

Thinking further ahead, if there really is a breakthrough, when it comes to booking a hotel room, we might not even have the money to choose a decent one...

I can't just keep living off my wife, can I?
