Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 132 [131] Reunion in a Foreign Land (Fourth Update)
"If you want to clear your head, can't you just stay in Suicheng?"

Xu Jinhuan had never traveled far from home before, and Song Xiaohui was a little worried. "Forest park, wetland park, and what kind of museum..."

Xu Haiguang said, "Go if you want to. It's a rare opportunity to go out with your classmates."

Before Xu Jinhuan could even feel happy, her father asked again, "How many of you are there? Can you bring Zhizhi along to play?"

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan didn't expect his father to say that; he had no intention of bringing Song Zhiyu along!

Anyone who has traveled with a girl would never want to go back a second time, unless they have ulterior motives. But for him, having ulterior motives towards Song Zhiyu is obviously more dangerous, and he could easily end up in the orthopedics department.

Song Zhiyu glanced at him, seemingly deliberately picking a fight. She had been ignoring him lately, but seeing Xu Jinhuan's predicament, she surprisingly smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I'm always in a rush when I go back to China, I haven't had a chance to explore..."

Before Xu Jinhuan could reply, she put on a somewhat troubled look and said, "I just don't know if it's convenient for you, brother. If you don't want to take me with you, then forget it."

Towards the end, her tone became noticeably downcast, conveying a mix of anticipation and hurt.

'Are you trying to fool me?'

Xu Jinhuan wanted nothing more than to slap her rebellious younger sister to death. She said to her mother, "If Zhizhi is willing to go, I definitely have no objection. After all, Zhizhi is so pretty, and I'd definitely feel proud to take her along! Besides, we're all boys, and having a pretty girl with us will surely be a lot of fun..."

"Never mind, let's just go next time."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaohui decisively rejected the suggestion to send Song Zhiyu, saying, "It's inconvenient with a group of boys."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled inwardly. Song Zhiyu was beautiful and at the age where she was most likely to be coveted. Her mother was already worried, after all, she had never raised a daughter before. Hearing that she was with a group of boys, it was no wonder she would feel at ease letting Zhizhi follow her!
What if someone takes a liking to Song Zhiyu?

What if there are many people and someone gets lost on the way?
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, quickly composed herself, and smiled sweetly, "Then let's go next time. It would be best if our whole family went out to play."

"That's right, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

As long as he can get rid of her, Xu Jinhuan doesn't care about the future. Even if he has to take her with him in the future, it will be Xu Jinhuan who suffers in the future. What does it have to do with Xu Jinhuan now?
but……

"Zhizhi, are you free right now?"

Less than an hour later, Xu Jinhuan finished showering and saw that Song Zhiyu's door was open, so she politely knocked on it, then stood in the doorway, smiling at her, "I want to discuss something with you..."

Song Zhiyu was teasing Xiao Guai by swinging her shoelaces. She lay on the bed, swinging the shoelaces around on the bed and floor, deliberately enticing Xiao Guai to jump onto the bed and off, just like walking a dog.

This is to increase its exercise so that it won't make a fuss in the middle of the night.

"..."

Song Zhiyu was clearly still holding a grudge. While teasing Xiao Guai, she glanced at him sideways with a haughty air, like a noble concubine looking at her servant Xiao Huanzi. She slightly raised her chin and said, "Speak."

What you seem to mean is "grant permission"...

Xu Jinhuan muttered a curse under his breath, walked into the room, closed the door behind him, turned around and smiled again. Before he could speak, Song Zhiyu's eyes suddenly turned wary: "What are you going to do?"

"I need to borrow money from you!"

Xu Jinhuan said irritably, "Otherwise, what else could I do to you?"

Song Zhiyu asked suspiciously, "What kind of money do you need?"

"I'm going out to have some fun, so I'm asking you to lend me some money."

Xu Jinhuan shrugged. "I don't need to borrow a lot, three or five hundred is fine. I'll pay you back when I get my advertising fee next month."

Song Zhiyu asked suspiciously, "Didn't your aunt just give you your 500 yuan allowance for June?"

"We're just going out for fun, and I don't know how much it will cost."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled dryly, "Lend me a little more, just in case."

Song Zhiyu's eyes widened slightly, and she seemed even more wary, almost like a cat with its fur standing on end: "Chen Xingzhu is going too?"

"No, what is she going to do?"

Xu Jinhuan immediately denied it, "I already said they're all guys, she definitely won't go. You can ask her directly if you don't believe me, anyway you have her contact information."

"Ok."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Song Zhiyu's expression finally softened. "Then you can lend it to me if you agree to one condition."

"You said."

"Bring me a gift when you come back."

Song Zhiyu kept a straight face, behaving as if she were negotiating rather than asking for a gift. "I don't want one that you can just buy off the street." "That won't do. Change your terms."

Xu Jinhuan refused without hesitation, "Even if you don't lend me money, I will definitely bring you a carefully prepared gift. That can't be considered a condition. Let's find something else."

"..."

Song Zhiyu pursed her lips, but couldn't help but let out a sweet smile, her cherry-like lips gleaming. She snorted and said, "That's the condition I want, otherwise I won't lend it to you."

"Fine, I give in, you win."

Xu Jinhuan left with 500 yuan, feeling extremely helpless and distressed. Back in her room, she sent Chen Xingzhu a message: "What are you doing?"

Chen Xingzhu replied: "Watching a movie."

Xu Jinhuan: "Are there any recently released movies you'd like to see?"

Xu Jinhuan: "I haven't seen it in the cinema yet. Shall we go see it together next time?"

Chen Xingzhu: "There's nothing good to see. Let's talk about it later."

Xu Jinhuan: "Mhm, no rush."

He chatted with Chen Xingzhu for a while, then asked her, "Could you lend me some money?"

Chen Xingzhu: "How many do you want?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Three hundred or five hundred is fine."

Chen Xingzhu: "Then I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Xu Jinhuan: "Aren't you going to ask me what it's for?"

Chen Xingzhu: "What do you need the money for?"

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

Xu Jinhuan: "I'm working on a new game, and I'm planning to go to Jiangning during the college entrance exam break to check out the subway..."
He briefly explained the situation, then said, "If you're free, would you like to come with me?"

As for Song Zhiyu asking, of course I can lie to her!

What brother in the world doesn't lie to his sister?

On the other end of the phone, Chen Xingzhu seemed lost in thought, her cheeks slightly flushed. After hesitating for two seconds, she typed a reply: "No, you go ahead."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Don't you want to go and take a look?"

Chen Xingzhu: "No, maybe later."

It was already quite remarkable that she could make such a promise, so Xu Jinhuan decided to stop while she was ahead and said, "Alright then, I'll go scout ahead first."

高考在6月7号、8号两天，高一、高二年级都是6号放假，8号上晚自习。

Xu Jinhuan declined Xie Zhiqiang's invitation to play games together, packed his things in advance, and early on the 6th, carrying his bag and money, he boarded a bus to the train station.

Take a train to Pengcheng Railway Station, which takes 40 minutes. Then transfer to another train at the same station (back then, many high-speed trains departed from and arrived at the railway station). After more than 3 hours, you will arrive at Jiangning Railway Station.

Xu Jinhuan borrowed money to buy a scanner, but after searching on his phone and asking around, he couldn't find one, so he simply gave up.

Since it's not a realistic model, just putting in some iconic elements is enough. Take a picture so you don't forget it.

It was already 11 a.m., but Xu Jinhuan didn't waste any time. He bought two pancakes outside the train station and then carried his bag into the subway.

At that time, Jiangning only had two subway lines, Line 1 and Line 2. Xu Jinhuan boarded Line 1 first, ignoring the stares of the people around him, and took pictures of the subway and station with his phone as if no one else was around.

He would get off at every stop, wander around the subway station, and look for landmarks, to the point that it almost became a mechanical task.

After a busy day, Xu Jinhuan was sitting in the station eating a pancake, not even knowing which station he was at, when another subway train arrived and the crowd quickly poured out.

Xu Jinhuan choked on the pancake and was drinking water when he suddenly caught sight of an extremely familiar figure in the crowd and froze for a moment.

He almost thought he was seeing things, so he couldn't help but stand up and adjust his angle to take a closer look. The style of the white midi skirt and the white inner layer were unfamiliar; she had never worn them before. But on such a hot day, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt over it. Coupled with her tall and graceful figure, her almost perfect pure and beautiful profile, and her elegant and refined temperament, who else could it be but Chen Xingzhu?
She actually followed us here secretly?
Xu Jinhuan was a little incredulous, then felt a mix of emotion and amusement. Could it be that the little girl had been following him all day?

Then, he noticed that Chen Xingzhu had changed her hairstyle. Her originally natural black long hair had been dyed a grayish-brown color, which actually looked quite good against her fair and radiant skin.

'They can even fake it now...'

Xu Jinhuan found it increasingly amusing. Watching Chen Xingzhu's figure quickly disappear into the crowd, he hurriedly wrapped the half-eaten pancake in a plastic bag and chased after her.
