Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 147 [146] Skin-to-Skin Intimacy (Third Update)
"Is this your home?"

As they passed the fourth floor carrying their belongings, Li Gaoyuan and Kong Lingyu both stopped and asked Xu Jinhuan questions.

"Correct."

Xu Jinhuan dragged his suitcase ahead, agreed, put the suitcase at the door, and went downstairs to get more things.

Chen Xingzhu quickly came up, opened the door and went in. Xie Wanqing helped carry two pairs of shoes and followed him into the room, looking around.

The entrance hallway has a south-facing bedroom and a bathroom on either side. On the other side of the bathroom is another north-facing bedroom next to the kitchen, which is connected to the living room and balcony.

"I'll go with Uncle Li to get the rest of the books."

Xu Jinhuan and Li Gaoyuan went down again to bring over the remaining books, while Kong Lingyu and Xie Wanqing strolled around and inspected the place.

For Xie Wanqing, this house was not good in terms of size, decoration, or layout, but Xie Wanqing was not picky about these things now, and Kong Lingyu had no room to express her opinion.

Otherwise, if Chen Xingzhu had chosen them instead of Xu Jinhuan, they could have found a very suitable house, or even a second house of their own.

It's quite obvious that Chen Xingzhu came here partly to get away from her original home, and partly because of Xu Jinhuan.

However, there's no need to bring these things up, otherwise it would be counterproductive and put Chen Xingzhu in a passive position in her relationship with Xu Jinhuan.

"Sister Wanqing, which room do you like?"

Chen Xingzhu proactively asked Xie Wanqing, "Anything is fine with me."

"I'm fine with either."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "I still live on campus, so I'm not here every day. I'll choose this room on the north side, and you can stay in the slightly bigger one over there... We can split the rent."

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll pay more for water and electricity."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "It's alright, it's not much."

"We still need to clean it up,"

After looking around, Kong Lingyu said, "There are still a lot of things to buy. Why don't we go to the supermarket first and then clean and decorate when we get back?"

"Okay."

Chen Xingruo was the first to agree, "Sister, you have to keep a set of supplies for me, otherwise I might come again at any time."

"Wait, let me rest for a bit."

It was a bit hot. Xu Jinhuan and Li Gaoyuan had made three trips and were covered in sweat. They washed their faces first, and then, without caring whether the sofa was dirty or not, they sat down to rest. "We'll go again later."

"whispering sound!"

"So weak?"

Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingruo simultaneously mocked each other, then glanced at each other, both showing expressions of delight as if they had met a kindred spirit, and smiled at each other.

'You do nothing and yet you have the nerve to mock my brother?'

After laughing, Song Zhiyu looked away and mentally complained, growing increasingly disliked Chen Xingzhu's younger sister.

'What a pretentious act!'

Chen Xingruo felt the same disdain in her heart, and secretly wondered: 'My sister said before that this Song Zhiyu actually likes Xu Jinhuan, it's actually quite possible...'

What a pervert!
She muttered to herself, suddenly feeling that compared to Song Zhiyu, her own image was very positive, sunny, cheerful, enthusiastic, and lively.

After all, no matter what, she would never fall in love with her own brother.

"Brother, are you coming with me to go shopping?"

Song Zhiyu asked Xu Jinhuan, and then gestured with her eyes that it was time to leave.

Xu Jinhuan didn't rush to answer, but first asked Xie Wanqing, "Sister, would you like to go and see what you want to buy?"

Xie Wanqing said, "I'm not moving today, and I don't know what to buy. I'll go next time."

"Then you stay home and keep your sister company, and watch over Xiao Guai."

Xu Jinhuan instructed, "I'll go to the supermarket with your uncle and aunt."

"whispering sound!"

This time, Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingruo rolled their eyes together again. The former was unhappy with his arrangement, while the latter was unhappy that he clearly wanted to spend time with his sister but said he had to spend time with "uncle and aunt," as if he were being very sensible. What a hypocritical man!
The two were once again united in their hatred, then glanced at each other before looking away. One secretly pouted, while the other rolled her eyes, growing increasingly annoyed with each other.

This time, Xu Jinhuan didn't drive himself. He hitched a ride with Li Gaoyuan to the supermarket. Kong Lingyu sat in the passenger seat, while he squeezed into the back with Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo.

"I'm not sitting in the middle."

When they got downstairs, Chen Xingruo glanced at Xu Jinhuan, who was clearly deliberately causing trouble, because no matter how the arrangements were made, it was impossible for her to sit in the middle.

"It's okay, I'll sit in the middle."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I know sitting in the middle isn't very comfortable, but I'm willing to endure the pain."

Kong Lingyu, who was in front of him, couldn't help but turn around and look at him, gaining a new understanding of the shamelessness of this high school student.

It's not appropriate for a boy to sit between two girls, but if both girls are beautiful and they are twins, it's even easier for people to have wild thoughts.

Chen Xingzhu also glanced at Xu Jinhuan, but did not show any dissatisfaction; she just looked at him.

"I was just kidding,"

Xu Jinhuan shrugged and explained to her, "She's always picking on me, so I'm trying to respond with humor..."

"whispering sound!"

Chen Xingruo exhaled through her nostrils, and after speaking, she subconsciously glanced to the side. This time, of course, Song Zhiyu was no longer in sync with her.

Perhaps because Song Zhiyu was no longer in front of her, Chen Xingruo found herself actually missing her a little and no longer disliking her so much.

Chen Xingzhu got into the car and sat next to her sister. When Xu Jinhuan got in, although the E300 wasn't small, it was still a bit cramped for three people to sit in the back. Especially when they occasionally touched skin to skin, they could clearly feel the heat emanating from Xu Jinhuan.

She tried her best to appear calm and composed, but her heart was pounding wildly, as if being warmed by his heat, making her feel inexplicably cozy inside.

Is this considered skin-to-skin contact?

The thought flashed through her mind. She didn't think it should count, but in the era when this idiom appeared, such skin contact should be considered an extremely intimate and ambiguous act, right?

"Let's not buy kitchenware for now, let's buy everyday necessities first..."

Kong Lingyu vaguely sensed that Chen Xingzhu's attitude towards her had softened. Now that Li Yunxue was not with her, she felt much more at ease than usual, helping her daughter plan what to buy.

Xu Jinhuan stopped interrupting and just followed along obediently.

When do your parents get off work?

While shopping at the supermarket, Li Gaoyuan played a similar role to Xu Jinhuan, both being tools. Following behind the mother and her two daughters, Li Gaoyuan took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Xingzhu lives over there, which inevitably causes you trouble. If you have time, let's have a casual meal together tonight."

The three women in front, Kong Lingyu, Chen Xingzhu, and Chen Xingruo, turned around at the same time.

"Thank you, Uncle, but it's not necessary."

Xu Jinhuan didn't mind meeting his parents, but he was worried that they would feel uncomfortable. He wasn't yet at the level where he could give his parents that much confidence. However, he was confident that he could in two or three years.

Seeing that he refused, Li Gaoyuan didn't press the matter. They chatted casually about their studies, and Xu Jinhuan took the opportunity to inquire, "What kind of business does Uncle do?"

"Get some car parts."

Li Gaoyuan didn't think it would be useful to talk to a child about these things, so he casually replied, "Where are your mom and dad?"

“My mom works at a supermarket, and my dad works at a furniture store; they are both employees.”

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "I wonder when I'll be able to rest..."

Li Gaoyuan said, "Study hard, and when you get a job, your parents will be able to settle down."

After shopping at the supermarket with the mother and her two daughters, Li Gaoyuan paid for the items and then carried them back to the fifth floor.

After tidying up, Xu Jinhuan didn't participate anymore and left on her own. When she returned home, she saw Xiao Guai lying on a chair with her big, dark eyes staring at the sofa.

On the sofa, Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu were wiping away tears.

???

what's the situation?
Xu Jinhuan almost thought she had gone to the wrong door. Seeing that the two of them had noticed her, she quickly wiped away her tears. It was hard to pretend she hadn't seen them, so she had no choice but to go over and ask, "What's wrong?"
