Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 162 [161] Have they gone public with their relationship?
"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Liu Liangfu had already arrived at the classroom. He was just about to complain to Huan Ge about Gu Siying when he heard this.

Holding his phone, he excitedly typed "Holy crap!" several times before finally saying, "Brother Huan, you're awesome!"

"Fuck!"

"It's such a shame you're not here!"

???

Xu Jinhuan had just put down his phone when it started vibrating again. He was still surprised that Chen Xingzhu had sent so many messages at once, but when he opened his phone, he saw a bunch of nonsensical messages from Liu Liangfu.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan thought the guy was going crazy, so he simply set his phone to "Do Not Disturb," put down his phone, and continued studying, planning to look at the message later when he had time.

Otherwise, if you're constantly distracted by a bunch of trivial things, how can you improve your grades?

He continued studying, but soon noticed a faint commotion brewing in the classroom, which spread rapidly like ripples on water.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Xu Jinhuan"

Xu Jinhuan was concentrating on her studies when she suddenly heard someone call her name. When she looked up, she saw that almost everyone in the classroom was turning around and staring at her.

The person who called him was Ruan Jingqiu, the class monitor. Holding her phone, she looked on with a gossipy expression and shouted from the front row to the back: "Xu Jinhuan!"

Xu Jinhuan asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

"do not you know?"

Ruan Jingqiu looked at her with disbelief. "Didn't anyone tell you?"

Xu Jinhuan was even more puzzled: "What did you say?"

Ruan Jingqiu asked directly, "Are you and Chen Xingzhu together?"

Now, the students in the classroom who were unaware of the situation all looked up, exchanging incredulous glances before turning to Xu Jinhuan and Ruan Jingqiu.

Tang Jingming also arrived at the classroom and was studying hard, hoping to redeem himself in the final exam. His midterm exam results were actually worse than Xu Jinhuan's, which made him feel extremely humiliated. He vowed to surpass Xu Jinhuan in the final exam.

He also noticed the unusual atmosphere in the classroom, but he didn't pay much attention to it. They had just come back from vacation, and everyone was eager to chat after the exams. It was normal.

Upon hearing Ruan Jingqiu's question, Tang Jingming looked up in surprise and gazed at Xu Jinhuan.

'How is this possible?'

This was Tang Jingming's first reaction, but then he realized that this wasn't the first time he had reacted this way.

This is not the first time something like this has happened to Xu Jinhuan that makes people think, "How is this possible?"

but……

'No way? '

Tang Jingming still finds it hard to accept this fact. He is still working hard, preparing to surpass Xu Jinhuan in his studies.

If Chen Xingzhu's side has already fallen, what's the point of me striving?
Not far behind Ruan Jingqiu, Xiao Yuanxi, who was chatting with others, also turned around and looked back, her expression equally incredulous.

Her expression was even somewhat similar to Tang Jingming's.

"No!"

Xu Jinhuan's answer relieved many in the class, especially Tang Jingming. But before they could relax, Ruan Jingqiu said, "Chen Xingzhu said she likes you in her class!"

"what?"

"No way?"

"Really, I've heard about it too!"

"how is this possible?"

"My elementary school classmate is in Class 9. I just saw it in our elementary school group chat!"

"I do not believe!"

……

The classroom erupted in chaos.

Xu Jinhuan was stunned for a couple of seconds, then immediately picked up his phone, opened Liu Liangfu's chat window, and saw that he had sent a series of messages.

After I put Liu Liangfu on Do Not Disturb mode, the first message Liu Liangfu sent was:
"Brother Huan, Chen Xingzhu just publicly told our class that he likes you!"

She said: I like him!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Our class is going crazy."

"Of course, I'm referring to our inner thoughts; on the surface, everyone pretends to be calm while frantically typing and chatting on their phones."

"Brother Huan?"

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

"Brother, you're my own brother, can you teach me how to pursue a girl? I have someone I like."

"Brother Huan, I know you're excited, but you don't have to be as excited as Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination, do you?"

……

'Why don't you just get to the point!' Xu Jinhuan cursed inwardly for this guy's delaying things. He almost couldn't resist running to Class 9, but he quickly calmed down and restrained the impulse.

What can I do if I run over there now?

Should I hug her and kiss her a couple of times?

That’s not impossible…

He was hopeful, then sighed. He was very willing, but Chen Xingzhu had to be willing too!

After calming down, he replied to Liu Liangfu: "I've calmed down now, let me explain what happened."

Liu Liangfu: "Damn, I thought you were going to come to our class."

Liu Liangfu: "The process was..."

He briefly described the incident, emphasizing the nonchalant way Chen Xingzhu said "I like him" and the aura that instantly stunned the entire classroom.

"We were all stunned. We wouldn't even dare to dream of such a plot! Huan-ge, you're amazing..."

Liu Liangfu showered him with flattery again, then asked, "Brother Huan, what are your thoughts now?"

Xu Jinhuan now only has two thoughts,
The first one is: Thank you, Gu!

The second one is: Labor and capital are like turtles in a wishing well!

Even after being reborn, his expectation for the relationship was that they would develop feelings for each other in high school and enter into a romantic relationship in college. He never thought that there would be any substantial progress during high school.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he understood Chen Xingzhu's personality very well and knew that she was a slow-burner. In the past, he had been like a frog being slowly boiled in water for five years!
However, life surprised him completely, giving him a wonderful surprise and making their relationship clear in this way.

Moreover, strictly speaking, it was actually Chen Xingzhu who confessed first!

Even the turtles in the wishing well wouldn't dare to have such presumptuous thoughts!
However, after calming down, Xu Jinhuan found that this was actually quite reasonable. First of all, thanks to the advantage of being reborn, he was essentially playing a second playthrough with a walkthrough guide. Moreover, because Chen Xingzhu was younger and less frozen, he was playing a version with reduced difficulty, which made it easier to complete the game.

Secondly, Kong Lingyu, Chen Xingruo, and even everyone around them except for Song Zhiyu, who was a troublemaker, provided considerable assistance during this period.

It was a combination of luck and serendipitous encounters, such as him appearing in front of her twice when she was at her most vulnerable, that allowed their relationship to quickly heat up.

However, Chen Xingzhu chose to confess her feelings in a public setting when I was absent, yet she was reluctant to do the same for me, which clearly indicates that she still had reservations...

But in any case, this is a complete, huge, and exciting victory.

Without further hesitation, Xu Jinhuan sent a message to Chen Xingzhu: "Chen, you've got some nerve, haven't you?"

Chen Xingzhu replied after a while: "See you on the playground after evening self-study."

Xu Jinhuan replied, "Okay."

Chen Xingzhu did not reply, nor did Xu Jinhuan reply to Liu Liangfu. He himself had no answer yet.

Putting down her phone, Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw that most of her classmates were still staring at her. She rolled her eyes and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen couples showing affection before? It's no big deal. Honestly, don't use me as an excuse not to study. I don't admit it..."

"whispering sound!"

Many classmates booed, and some even pressed, "Are you two actually together or not?"

"Exactly, stop keeping me in suspense!"

……

There were quite a few gossipy students, so Xu Jinhuan could only wave his hand and say, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. Just let everyone know, don't be too ostentatious."

Just as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, Wang Yuan, carrying his schoolbag, rushed into the classroom like the wind, crouching low. He came to Xu Jinhuan's desk and slammed his hand on it: "Holy crap, you're with Chen Xingzhu?"

Xu Jinhuan gestured with both hands: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

……

"Huan-ge, you and Chen Xingzhu have gone public with your relationship?"

A few minutes later, Li Hang ran into the classroom and shouted again, but his voice was clearly out of tune.

"low profile."

……

"You're dating Chen Xingzhu? And you've gone public with it?"

Xie Zhiqiang was the last to arrive, and the rumors were almost at their final form. "Is it true or false?"

"low profile!"

……

"Ahhhh!"

A similar scene was unfolding in Class 9, except that when Zhou Wei, Zhu Xinyao, and Hu Yingxin arrived at the classroom, they were all excitedly grabbing and scratching at people.

When Zhou Wei arrived first, she grabbed Chen Xingzhu directly. By the time Zhu Xinyao and Hu Yingxin arrived, Chen Xingzhu was already on guard. When they grabbed her and made her cry "Ahhh," she quickly dodged away. Then, she watched them grab Zhou Wei and made "Ahhhh" to express her excitement.

"Xingzhu, you're amazing!"

"Too good!"

Once the three of them were together, they didn't forget to share their excitement again, and then asked, "Have you told Xu Jinhuan?"

"Does he know?"

Are you two together?

……

Chen Xingzhu clearly felt her face flush and hot, but she tried her best to maintain her cool and aloof persona, adopting an attitude of not wanting to say more, and said: "I won't tell you."

In reality, she was far more shy and flustered than she appeared. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said to Gu Siying, but now, facing her friend, she felt a little lost.

But none of that matters. The most important thing is how to face Xu Jinhuan tonight.
　Since no one is speaking up for me, can I call this clickbait?
