Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 142 [141] I really can't tell the difference.

"Don't mess around!"

Chen Xingzhu quickly returned to her room and, upon hearing from her sister that she was going to Xu Jinhuan's place to look at houses, felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. "I never said I wanted to live upstairs from him."

"I want to go see the cats."

Seeing her sister was angry, Chen Xingruo immediately started to whine, "Besides, Xu Jinhuan said it's his dad's friend's house, so it's more reassuring. Also, it's upstairs, so he can take care of you if anything happens..."

Where did he say that?

Chen Xingzhu took out her phone and scrolled through the chat history. Sure enough, the top message was from her sister to Xu Jinhuan. She glared at him and said, "Don't you dare take my phone again!"

Both of them had their own birthdays as their lock screen passwords, which was the same password, as mentioned in their chat last night. However, she did not expect her sister to be so casual as to use her phone to chat with Xu Jinhuan.

"I won't take it, I won't take it."

Chen Xingruo quickly agreed, "Hurry up and change my clothes, I want to go see the cat... Should we wear matching outfits?"
-
"I'm done eating."

Xu Jinhuan finished his breakfast in a good mood, then called out to Song Zhiyu, who was sitting on the sofa playing with the cat.

"What are you shouting for?"

Song Zhiyu turned around and glared at him, "I've already washed the dishes once, it's none of my business if you eat by yourself."

"If you cheat, I'll cheat too."

Xu Jinhuan threatened, "My skin is definitely thicker than a face..."

"So what if you're thick-skinned?"

Song Zhiyu walked over angrily, collected all the leftover dishes and chopsticks, and snorted, "Next time I'll deliberately eat later, so you'll have to clean up eight times a day..."

"I believe you are not that kind of person."

Xu Jinhuan helped her collect the plates she couldn't carry all at once and took them to the kitchen, smiling as she said, "See, I still care about you, don't I? Unlike you, you've never helped me..."

"Okay, at least you still have some conscience."

Seeing that he was helping, Song Zhiyu was visibly happy and asked, "Why did Chen Xingzhu move here?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "Didn't I tell you that already?"

"Oh."

Song Zhiyu pouted, "When is she coming?"

"They haven't said yet, wait a bit."

Xu Jinhuan chatted with her for a few minutes to avoid her picking a fight when Chen Xingzhu arrived later. "Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to get back to work now."

Xu Jinhuan was too busy yesterday and didn't even look at the advertising revenue data. After returning to his room, he glanced at it and saw that there wasn't much fluctuation. Since the end of May, when the advertising fee rose to 1600 per day, the growth rate had slowed down significantly, and by yesterday, June 6th, it was "only" a little over 1800.

This was already hard for my parents to believe, especially since the advertising revenue for May hasn't been paid out yet, and they're still a little uneasy.

Xu Jinhuan was naturally relieved and glanced at it before continuing to tinker with Subway Surfers.

"dong dong"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Song Zhiyu was watching TV and chatting with Song Xiaohui. Upon seeing this, she eagerly got up and said, "I'll go, I'll go!"

She looked overjoyed and ran to open the door. Sure enough, Chen Xingzhu was standing outside wearing light blue jeans and a white short-sleeved T-shirt. She smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Xingzhu, you're here!"

When Chen Xingzhu saw her, he was clearly taken aback, and his gaze seemed to instinctively want to glance to the side, but he restrained himself and smiled, saying, "Mm."

"Come in quickly, my brother has already found you a place to live, it's upstairs."

While politely inviting her into the house, Song Zhiyu explained the situation, "The key will be delivered soon, and then we can go see the house. Why don't you take a look at Xiao Guai first... Xiao Guai?"

Song Zhiyu led "Chen Xingzhu" into the house and was surprised to find that Xiao Guai did not run over to rub against Chen Xingzhu as she had expected or as she had done before.

Instead, when it saw "Chen Xingzhu" enter the room, it backed away, tilting its head back and staring at "Chen Xingzhu" with great vigilance, revealing a very obvious hostility for the first time.

"Little darling, what's wrong?"

Song Zhiyu found it very strange. She looked back at the door and saw that there was only "Chen Xingzhu" and no other people or things. When she looked at Xiao Guai, he still had the same hostile and wary look as before.

"My little darling~"

Song Zhiyu and "Chen Xingzhu" were already quite familiar with each other, so they weren't so formal. Especially when she noticed Xiao Guai's unusual behavior, she didn't close the door herself, assuming that "Chen Xingzhu" would close it.

Chen Xingzhu seemed to be drawn to Xiao Guai's unusual behavior. Without closing the door, she called softly to it and went straight to the living room.

"Whoa!"

As Xiao Guai saw Chen Xingzhu approaching, it kept backing away, the hair on its back standing on end, while making strange noises.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jinhuan came out of the room and saw this scene, asking with some surprise.

Song Zhiyu was only focused on comforting Xiao Guai and completely ignored him. Chen Xingzhu, however, immediately looked over, her eyes clear and bright, and with a slightly helpless expression, pointed at Xiao Guai and said, "Xiao Guai~"

Her words were very concise, but combined with her expression and the current situation, it was easy to understand what she meant. She didn't know why Xiao Guai was acting this way either.

Song Xiaohui asked, "Could there be rats?"

"Auntie hello~"

When Chen Xingzhu saw Song Xiaohui, he greeted her with a smile.

Xu Jinhuan walked over and saw that Xiao Guai was clearly still avoiding Chen Xingzhu. Looking at her beautiful and pure face, a thought couldn't help but flash through her mind: 'Could this be Chen Xingruo?'

However, he noticed as soon as he came out that Chen Xingzhu in front of him had long black hair, not Chen Xingruo's gray-brown hair.

She wouldn't be so bored as to dye her hair to pretend to be her sister, would she?

"It's alright, don't panic."

Seeing that Chen Xingzhu seemed a little aggrieved, Xu Jinhuan came over to comfort her, "Think about it, have you petted other cats these past two days? Or maybe you changed your shampoo or something that caused a change in your scent..."

"Ha ha!"

As Xu Jinhuan was helping with the analysis, he saw Chen Xingzhu's clear and bright eyes slowly widen, revealing a joyful and triumphant expression, which quickly transformed into a bright and stunning smile.

She turned around abruptly and shouted excitedly towards the door, "Sis! I fooled him! He didn't recognize me..."

???

Xu Jinhuan reacted instantly, while Song Xiaohui and Song Zhiyu were both startled, wondering if Chen Xingzhu had some hidden illness that had suddenly flared up.

However, they still subconsciously looked towards the door and saw another Chen Xingzhu, also wearing light blue jeans, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, white flat shoes, and a black ponytail, walking in with a somewhat apologetic expression.

She turned around, closed the door, and went into the living room, explaining to Song Xiaohui and Song Zhiyu, "Hello, Auntie, this is my sister."

He then apologized to Xu Jinhuan, saying, "I'm sorry, but she insisted on doing it this way."

"fine."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, and seeing Chen Xingruo still looking smug, couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you childish?"

"Whether I'm childish or not, you didn't recognize me this time!"

Chen Xingruo raised her chin and said, "The reason you saw through me yesterday was because my hair was different; otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have recognized me!"

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing that they had started bickering, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but interject, "Which of you is Chen Xingzhu? Is Chen Xingzhu the older sister or the younger sister?"

"I am Chen Xingzhu."

Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but chuckle as he explained, "She's my younger sister, her name is Chen Xingruo."

"Are you twins?"

Song Xiaohui looked at the two sisters in surprise, "Are you twins?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded. "My parents divorced when I was a child. My younger sister lived with my father in another city and only came back to visit me yesterday."

"Okay, okay, I won't scare you anymore."

When Xiao Guai saw Chen Xingzhu come in, she wanted to get closer to her, but she didn't really want to get close to Chen Xingruo, so she stood there in a bit of a dilemma.

Chen Xingruo noticed and made way for Xiao Guai, who then ran over to Chen Xingzhu's feet and affectionately rubbed against her trouser leg.

"You really can't tell us apart?"

Chen Xingruo glanced at Xu Jinhuan, still quite smug, "Since none of my clothes are exactly the same, we found two similar ones. If the clothes were the same, we would have gone out for a walk, and you wouldn't have been able to tell them apart then, would you?"

Chen Xingzhu was squatting down to stroke Xiao Guai when she heard this and couldn't help but look over.

Song Xiaohui and Song Zhiyu glanced at the two sisters and found that apart from their T-shirts—the younger sister's T-shirt had a pattern of intertwined flowers on the chest, while the older sister's T-shirt had a pattern of dolphins leaping into the sea on the chest—they were basically identical.

Even the curves of the flowers and dolphins being supported look almost identical!
Xu Jinhuan stared for a long time and sadly realized that if the clothes were exactly the same and Chen Xingruo was intentionally disguising herself, even he couldn't tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.

'We need to think of a way,'

Xu Jinhuan quickly thought of a solution. If he couldn't tell the difference, it meant that he didn't know Chen Xingzhu well enough. After all, their relationship in their previous life had stopped at the threshold of being lovers.

Since that's the case, then we should try to understand her more deeply. Once we understand her well enough, we'll naturally be able to tell who is the older sister and who is the younger sister...
