Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 122 [121] Sleeping Together

"It's your turn to do the dishes tomorrow!"

After dinner, on the way to school by bicycle, Song Zhiyu was chattering away, figuring out how to help him promote the game, when Xu Jinhuan suddenly interrupted, "Don't think I've forgotten."

"I'm not that kind of person."

Song Zhiyu snorted, "Hey, your birthday is coming up soon after the exams, right? What kind of present do you want?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "You'll give me whatever I want?"

"You wish!"

Song Zhiyu seemed lost in thought, sounding somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "I'm not going to give you anything... I just don't know what to buy you."

"It's okay, I don't mind buying anything. It would be even better if you could wash the dishes for me for a week."

"Pooh!"

Historically, Xu Jinhuan rarely celebrated his birthday properly at this age because he had few friends. The birthdays that were truly memorable for him were mostly those in the years after he met Chen Xingzhu.

The year after Chen Xingzhu passed away, he had just decided to resign and start his own business. He practically lived and ate in that small office every day. If his parents hadn't sent him messages, he would have almost forgotten his own birthday.

Then I went to work as usual. During that time, I went to the restroom, washed my hands, and came out. I saw Song Zhiyu wandering around in the corridor looking for her room number.

That was probably the most heartwarming day for the brother and sister, but unfortunately it didn't last long. The following year, as their careers improved, Xu Jinhuan began to "fall into depravity," and their relationship quickly plummeted to a freezing point.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan felt a little emotional and smiled, "Is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you when it's your birthday."

"Um……"

Song Zhiyu tilted her head and thought about it seriously for a moment. "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

"Row."

The high school entrance exam was not difficult, and there was not much pressure for the students of Suicheng No. 1 Middle School. However, the teachers needed to use it to motivate the students and kept emphasizing that it "affects the college entrance exam." Therefore, as the time approached, the atmosphere in the classroom became noticeably tense and solemn.

Xu Jinhuan had taken the exam once before and had no pressure in his previous life, so he was naturally even less worried now. However, he did not let his guard down and continued to study step by step.

There are three evening self-study sessions in the third year of junior high school, and school doesn't end until 9:10 pm. So Xu Jinhuan adjusted her schedule, like some of the boarding students, to stay in the classroom a little longer, and then go to the playground to exercise a little more when it's almost time to turn off the lights, and then pick her up when it's almost time for school to end.

Xie Zhiqiang still goes running with him, but leaves earlier. This guy has been visibly studying harder lately and is also sticking to exercising, but he still goes home to play video games.

I got home around 9:40. After saying goodbye to my parents and taking turns showering, it was already 10:00, which was basically bedtime.

However, Xu Jinhuan still insisted on chatting with Chen Xingzhu every day. She usually went to bed around 10:30 pm, which was just the right time for them to chat before bed.

"Do you remember I told you I'd give you a share of the profits?"

On Monday, the advertising revenue from last Saturday was released, and as expected, there was a significant increase, rising from 86.8 to 205.7. If this figure is maintained, the monthly income will exceed 6000 yuan, which is quite considerable these days.

Moreover, based on download and daily active user data, advertising revenue is bound to grow further, and there will be stable income at least in the short term. Therefore, Xu Jinhuan finally formally brought up the matter of profit sharing with Chen Xingzhu.

The reason they didn't wait for it to become even more popular was because, given Chen Xingzhu's personality, she would have been even less likely to accept it.

"I do not want."

Chen Xingzhu quickly replied, and the answer was as expected: "I was not involved."

Xu Jinhuan: "Without your help in registering a developer account, I wouldn't even be able to get the app listed."

Chen Xingzhu: "Just give me the registration fee."

Xu Jinhuan: "I just didn't want to give it, so I used profit sharing instead."

Xu Jinhuan: "Let me finish speaking first. I don't know how long the recommendation will last. There are so many smartphone games. Many games will pop up and then disappear. The amount you get may not be more than 688."

Xu Jinhuan: "I'm going to give you a 10% share of the profits. If it's 2580 per month, then you can get 258 per month. You'll be able to break even around the time summer vacation starts."

Xu Jinhuan: "If the daily active users plummet after the recommendations are over, then there will be no income. Fortunately, maintenance is easy and can generate income steadily, but it may take one or two years to recover the costs."

Chen Xingzhu wasn't like Song Zhiyu; she wasn't so easily fooled. After he finished speaking, she still replied, "I don't want to."

After trying for a while, Xu Jinhuan realized she wouldn't listen, so he said, "How about this, you look at it from a different angle. I'll give you a share of the profits, and that way we can stay connected. Even if we don't get into the same university, I'll still have a reason to contact you, right?"

Chen Xingzhu: "That's not right." Xu Jinhuan: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu: "I'm going to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

Knowing Chen Xingzhu as he did, he naturally knew that the girl was expressing her dissatisfaction. After all, the two of them were not closely connected now, so he had no choice but to compromise and say, "Okay, okay, if we don't want to share the profits, we don't want to share them. Anyway, I'll always find a reason to come see you when I miss you."

Xu Jinhuan: "I won't pressure you. I'll pay you back when I get my salary next month."

Chen Xingzhu: "Mm."

Chen Xingzhu: "I really want to sleep now."

Xu Jinhuan didn't reply. Instead, he took his phone, walked out of the room, and gently knocked on Song Zhiyu's door.

Song Zhiyu's voice came from inside very quickly, and judging from his tone, it was obvious that it was him: "What?"

"I'm coming in."

Xu Jinhuan politely said something, then pushed open the door and saw Song Zhiyu wearing a black nightgown she had never seen before, lying on the bed reading a novel on her iPad. She had already finished watching "Home with Kids" and was now reading "The Three-Body Problem".

Her figure was already quite impressive, especially her slender, rounded waist, which seemed almost too delicate to be grasped. This, combined with the smooth lines of her shoulders, back, hips, and legs, created a beautiful and flowing ink painting that was pleasing to the eye and breathtakingly beautiful.

Little Guai lay stiffly beside her, like a cat stick.

"I'll take a picture."

Xu Jinhuan took a picture of Xiaoguai with her phone, then sent it to Chen Xingzhu while turning around and leaving, saying, "All done, bye-bye, goodnight..."

He walked to the door, but didn't hear Song Zhiyu respond, so he paused in his hand as he opened the door, then turned back and added, "This set of pajamas is very pretty, very beautiful."

"Do you even need to say this?"

The little girl huffed arrogantly from behind, "Goodnight."

"Take a normal rest tomorrow. Everyone remember to check the exam venue this afternoon. Treat this like the real college entrance exam. Pay attention to filling in the answer sheet and the order in which you answer the questions..."

On Friday afternoon the 18th, Fu Qingxuan came to the classroom, handed out the exam admission tickets, gave some instructions, and then left.

The classroom quickly became noisy as everyone discussed the exam room. Xu Jinhuan also took a picture, but then remembered that the classroom needed to use mobile data, so he switched to typing to ask Chen Xingzhu.

The examination venues were divided according to the county and district. The examination was conducted by eleven schools, including Suicheng No.1 Middle School, No.3 Middle School, No.4 Middle School, No.6 Middle School, No.10 Middle School, No.11 Middle School, Mining Middle School, the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and three private high schools.

Xu Jinhuan was lucky; he was assigned to the examination room at the High School Affiliated to the Normal University, which was closer to his home than the No. 1 High School.

Xie Zhiqiang was unlucky and was assigned to the farthest high school, the Mining Bureau High School. He became depressed when he saw the examination room and didn't want to speak for a long time.

"Oh dear, I feel so awful!"

The exam admission tickets had just been handed out in Class 9's classroom, and Zhou Wei was standing nearby, feeling depressed. "I don't want to go to No. 11 Middle School, there are bound to be a lot of bad students there..."

"It's alright, at least it's not too far."

Zhu Xinyao comforted her, "Xinxin is the most comfortable, being in our school. Xingzhu and I are just so-so..."

"Buzz"

When Chen Xingzhu heard her phone vibrate, she took it out of the desk drawer and saw the message from Xu Jinhuan. A look of joy flashed across her face. She then unlocked her phone and typed a reply.

"Xu Jinhuan is also at the affiliated high school?"

Zhou Wei leaned over for a look, and immediately forgot all about complaining, teasingly saying, "You two are so destined to meet!"

"Xu Jinhuan is also at the affiliated high school?"

Zhu Xinyao immediately understood and became excited as well, lowering her voice to suggest, "Then you two can skip lunch and eat and sleep together..."

She had only spoken halfway when she noticed that Chen Xingzhu, Zhou Wei, and Hu Yingxin were all staring at her. However, Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin simply widened their eyes, suspecting that she had taken the wrong medicine, while Chen Xingzhu's eyes showed a hint of shyness and reproach.

"I mean, after eating, you take a nap in the shop, like lying down..."

Zhu Xinyao quickly realized the reason for their reaction and hurriedly explained, "It's not like we sleep together..."
