Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 164 [163] For Happiness (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
Xu Jinhuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned around, looking at Chen Xingzhu with a mixture of surprise and astonishment.

Even with Chen Xingzhu's "confession" in the classroom earlier, he still felt like he was dreaming.

To be more precise, he never dreamed that Chen Xingzhu would say those words on her own initiative.

What kind of science fiction is this?
"Don't look back!"

Chen Xingzhu finally managed to say those words, and breathed a sigh of relief, but was also incredibly shy. When she saw him turn around, she was immediately blushing even more, "You promised you wouldn't turn around!"

"well."

Seeing that she was almost crying with embarrassment, Xu Jinhuan quickly turned back, "Then I'll keep walking forward, you follow..."

"Hmm~"

Chen Xingzhu responded softly. Xu Jinhuan wondered if it was just her imagination, but after that sentence, even the tone of her "hmm" sounded different.

This gave him the feeling of chatting with his girlfriend.

"Although I...I..."

Chen Xingzhu had just said those words, but now she chickened out and vaguely said, "We still can't have a relationship right now."

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan couldn't understand her thought process. Confessing that she wouldn't date early is no different from taking off the condom and not letting her in.

"Don't look back!"

Chen Xingzhu tapped his shoulder with one finger as a warning, and continued, "I'm just letting you know, but we can't be dating right now..."

"Wait, let me sort this out."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, we can't define our relationship right now, right?"

"Ok!"

Chen Xingzhu nodded immediately, "We can't have a relationship too early."

"Okay, then we won't date too early."

Xu Jinhuan quickly figured it out and simply agreed. Looking at the matter from a different perspective, wasn't this voluntarily absolving himself of responsibility?

As for the name of the relationship, it doesn't matter to him at all and has little impact. Otherwise, would he stop if he didn't get a marriage certificate?
The Chinese translation is: As long as you don't fall in love too early, you can do anything.

If you can do anything, then why bother with early romance?
"You agreed."

Chen Xingzhu's understanding was clearly different from his. Seeing that he had agreed, she quickly made it clear, as if afraid that he would go back on his word, "No going back on your word!"

"No regrets."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Can I turn around now?"

"……and many more!"

Chen Xingzhu panicked a little and wanted to say something more, but found that she had already said everything she wanted to say and he had agreed. For a moment, she couldn't find any other reason to stop him.

Xu Jinhuan stopped and turned around, looking at her shy and flustered appearance, and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. We're still young, there's plenty of time in the future."

"..."

Chen Xingzhu bit her lip, about to speak, when her phone suddenly started vibrating.

She took out her phone, saw it was a video call from her sister, glanced at Xu Jinhuan, and then clicked to answer: "Hello?"

"Sis, are you out of school yet?"

On the screen, Chen Xingruo sits on a swing, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the background, offering a view of a city at night. "Are you home?"

"No, I just got out of school."

Chen Xingzhu answered softly, "Are you home?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingruo nodded. "I originally wanted you to video chat with Dad, but he hasn't come home yet. The driver picked me up."

Chen Xingzhu said, "It's alright, no rush."

How are you getting home?

"Take the bus."

"Um……"

Chen Xingruo thought for a moment, "How about I buy you a car and have Xu Jinhuan be your driver, taking you to and from school every day? If he behaves well, you can give him the car as a reward after you finish your college entrance exam next year..."

"Okay!"

Before Chen Xingzhu could answer, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but laugh and agree, "I heard you, no take-backs allowed!"

"Why are you here?"

Chen Xingruo's eyes widened. "Sis, you're with him? What are you two doing?"

Chen Xingzhu glared at Xu Jinhuan, afraid he would say something inappropriate again, and quickly explained, "It's nothing, we were just about to wait for the bus after school."

Do you think I'm blind?

Chen Xingruo said irritably, "Are you two on the playground? What are you doing?"

"Just take a walk, what else can you do on the playground?"

Chen Xingzhu was a little embarrassed. "Don't overthink it." "I shouldn't overthink it?"

Chen Xingruo muttered under her breath, "You should probably just stay away from doing anything reckless..."

Chen Xingzhu was both embarrassed and angry, but she had just confessed to Xu Jinhuan and felt a little guilty. Just as she was wondering what to say, Xu Jinhuan reached out his hand.

Chen Xingzhu exchanged a glance with him, and seeing that he was about to take the phone, she did not resist and handed it over to him.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Xingruo said fiercely from inside the screen, "Give my phone back to my sister. I don't want to look at you, you're so ugly!"

"Don't waste your sister's data by talking nonsense."

Xu Jinhuan said disdainfully, "Let me find out, Uncle is so rich, what kind of business does he do?"

"Who's your uncle?"

Chen Xingruo disliked him more and more. "Don't try to get close to me."

"Alright, let me put it another way. Where does your father work?"

Xu Jinhuan asked with a smile, "Maybe we'll have a chance to collaborate in the future."

"Pooh!"

Chen Xingruo rolled her eyes at him, then thought for a moment and said, "I'm not really sure either. Anyway, as long as I have money to spend, that's fine. He's always busy and never home. Isn't he afraid that his young and beautiful wife will run off with someone else..."

Chen Xingzhu was both amused and exasperated, and said with a slight reproach, "Speak properly."

"If you're ignoring me, I'm not going to talk to him properly."

Chen Xingruo snorted, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. You should go home now, and remember to lock the door so someone doesn't get any bad ideas..."

"I know, I know."

Afraid that she would say something inappropriate again, Chen Xingzhu quickly took the phone back and said, "Go to sleep early."

"Ugh, I'm so sleepy, bye~"

Chen Xingruo waved her hand and warned, "Hey you, if you dare to bully my sister, when you come to Beijing for university, to my territory, I'll kill you!"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "How did you know I was going to university in Beijing?"

"If my sister comes, will you not come?"

Chen Xingruo scoffed, "What dog doesn't eye a bone... Pshaw, pshaw, I didn't say it was your bone, otherwise I'd be a bone too, since we look alike..."

"Oh, go to sleep now, bye-bye, bye-bye."

Chen Xingzhu suspected that her younger sister was a bit talkative, so she quickly hung up the phone. Then she saw a somewhat familiar figure jogging slowly towards her.

She almost thought she was seeing things and turned to look at Xu Jinhuan.

"You read that right, it's Xie Zhiqiang."

Xu Jinhuan laughed, "Lately, I've been running at night, and he's been running with me, just at a lower intensity... The power of love is truly admirable, isn't it?"

"Is he in a relationship?"

Chen Xingzhu clearly showed a gossipy look, "With whom?"

"You're actually curious about these things?"

Xu Jinhuan chuckled, "This matter is a bit complicated and can't be explained in just a few words. I'll explain it to you in detail later. Let's go now."

Xu Jinhuan was mainly worried that Xie Wanqing would misunderstand her motives for helping Xie Wanqing. After all, Xie Wanqing had now moved upstairs. Although there was a few years difference in age, Xie Wanqing's assets were too substantial, and the possibility of being misunderstood had to be taken into account.

Chen Xingzhu asked, "Aren't you running anymore?"

"I won't go running today, I'll just take a walk with you."

Xu Jinhuan still wanted to find an opportunity to hold hands. Last time, he had planned it all out, but ended up holding Chen Xingruo's hand instead. He felt he had lost out, so he had to make up for it this time.

"No need, I'll wait for you here. You go for your run."

Chen Xingzhu moved a little to the side of the track and pointed to the sports equipment such as the horizontal bar next to her. "I'll also move around here for a bit. I feel bad watching you... You go and run."

"alright."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, and seeing Xie Zhiqiang running over like a wild boar, he stretched his joints a little and then jogged after him.

What are you two doing?

Xie Zhiqiang remained silent until he had run a good distance away from Chen Xingzhu, then, panting, asked, "A date?"

"Waiting for you."

Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips, "Don't think about gossip all day. Focus on regulating your breathing. That way, when you're in college, you might be strolling around the school playground with someone."

Xie Zhiqiang, perhaps attracted by the pie in the sky he casually painted, actually stopped gossiping and focused on his running, trying to regulate his breathing.

Xu Jinhuan accompanied Xie Zhiqiang on a jog around the track. When they returned to Chen Xingzhu's corner, they saw her standing on one leg in the shadows of the playground, with one arm raised and the other extended behind her. Her head tilted back, and her beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her waist was faintly visible in the darkness, and her graceful figure was also faintly visible, like the movements of classical dance.

'That's good, practice it well!'

Xu Jinhuan's heart stirred, and he muttered to himself. Without disturbing her, he quickly ran over.

She practices, and I have to practice too, all for the sake of our happy future!
