Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 189 [188] Wait for me to grow up

"Blow...oh, oh, blow-dry your hair?"

Xu Jinhuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Looking at her arrogant expression, he chuckled and said, "If you want my help, just say so. There's no need to use this method..."

"I don't have one."

Song Zhiyu muttered something under her breath, then turned and went back into her room. Xu Jinhuan followed her in and saw Xiao Guai sleeping on the bed. So she scratched its head and woke it up.

Xiao Guai raised her head, her big round eyes instantly becoming clear, looking at him innocently, as if hoping he would play with her.

Xu Jinhuan ignored it and said to Song Zhiyu, "Sit down."

"Do you know?"

Song Zhiyu sat down at the table, looking up at him suspiciously, "Don't mess up my hair..."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, it definitely won't catch fire."

When Song Zhiyu moved in, she brought a small hair dryer with her. At first, she wanted to recommend it to Song Xiaohui, saying that hers had a stronger airflow. However, after trying the big one in the house, she found that its larger size had an advantage in this regard, so she didn't recommend it as much. But she still preferred to use her small hair dryer. It was pink and much lighter and prettier than the big black one in the house.

She took a hair dryer from the drawer and held it up in the air.

"and many more."

Xu Jinhuan didn't take it. Instead, he grabbed her hair, divided it into sections, and tied up the top section.

"What are you doing?"

Song Zhiyu was a little confused. "I asked you to blow-dry my hair, so why did you tie it up?"

"Blow in layers, starting from the bottom."

Xu Jinhuan lectured, "You don't even understand this? How do you usually boast about it?"

"Just blow it."

"Learn more."

"whispering sound!"

Xu Jinhuan casually tied her hair up, then took the hairdryer, adjusted the temperature, and started blowing from the roots down.

The little girl's hair was of very good quality; the water droplets had already been dried with a towel, and it felt smooth and moist to the touch. It complemented her long, fair neck and the occasional glimpse of her sweet profile, making her very pleasing to the eye.

Xu Jinhuan first dried the lower layer of her hair to about 80% dry, then let down some of the hair that was tied up on top and continued to dry it, doing so methodically and skillfully.

"Have you ever blow-dried someone's hair?"

After he finished blow-drying, Song Zhiyu tidied her hair in front of the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and asked her curiously, "Who did you blow-dry?"

"No, but I secretly practiced at the hair salon."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I was originally planning to save it to help my girlfriend blow-dry her hair later, but it's perfect, I'll use you to try it out first."

"Pooh!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, then took out a few envelopes from the drawer. "They're all here, take a look."

Xu Jinhuan casually took the letter, sat on her bed to read it, and casually asked, "What will you do if he sends you love letters every day from now on?"

"what can I do?"

Song Zhiyu was still fixing her hair when she casually asked, "Does my hair smell good?"

"But you can't keep accepting incense forever...."

"Then you didn't praise me at all."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks. "Does my hair smell better, or does Chen Xingzhu's hair smell better?"

"You've graduated from kindergarten."

Xu Jinhuan quickly glanced through the love letters and suddenly noticed other signatures. "More than one person sent me love letters?"

"correct."

"Kids these days... tsk!"

Xu Jinhuan clicked her tongue, got up and left, "Alright, I've taken care of it for you, no need to thank me."

Did I give you authorization?

Song Zhiyu snorted but didn't stop him. She stood up, and when she saw him walk to the door, she turned back and asked, "By the way, can you ride an electric scooter?"

"If you can ride a bicycle, then you can ride it, right?"

Song Zhiyu blinked. "Are you going to buy me an electric scooter?"

"You know, someone's been letting air out of my tires lately."

Xu Jinhuan looked at her helplessly, "I've already subscribed to the supermarket owner's monthly air pump service..."

"I know."

Song Zhiyu nodded, "Who told you to get entangled with Chen Xingzhu..."

"you know?"

Xu Jinhuan was a little surprised, "This matter has already spread to the junior high school?"

"No, it was Sister Wanqing chatting with Sister Xingzhu, I overheard it." Song Zhiyu tilted her head and winked at him, "So, are you going to buy me an electric scooter?"

"Buy it for myself."

Xu Jinhuan pouted, "But now three of us need to go to and from school, one electric scooter probably won't be enough."

"We'll ride electric scooters, and you can ride a bicycle."

Song Zhiyu replied matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, would you like to ride a bike with me, or with Chen Xingzhu?"

She snorted and said disdainfully, "It's indecent!"

This is indeed a problem; Chen Xingzhu may not be willing to agree.

"You'll be starting high school after summer vacation, which doesn't coincide with our schedules, right?"

Xu Jinhuan was a little worried. "We can't possibly buy three cars, can we?"

"No need, two are enough."

Song Zhiyu said decisively, "That way, when we go to university in the future, we can still give it to our aunt and uncle."

"You two in one car?"

Xu Jinhuan looked at her strangely, "We'll be leaving school late for evening self-study, are you going for a run too? Even if you do run, you can't run for that long."

"Then you don't have to worry about it."

Song Zhiyu snorted, "Anyway, two electric scooters are enough."

Xu Jinhuan said irritably, "So you two each have one, right?"

"You can have one yourself."

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, "You're so petty!"

"You said it yourself."

With exams just around the corner, Xu Jinhuan wasn't in a hurry to buy one. He didn't press the matter further and decided to just buy three.

Anyway, I'm not short of money now.

"Ring ring ring"

The next morning, Xu Jinhuan was woken up by her phone alarm. She turned off the air conditioner, yawned, got up to change her clothes, and then went to wash up.

"Happy birthday!"

When he came out of the bathroom, Song Zhiyu was standing at the door. She had just gotten up and was still wearing her nightgown. She was holding a gift and gave him a sweet smile. "How about it? Am I the first person to wish you a happy birthday and the first person to give you a gift?"

"It really is."

Xu Jinhuan was genuinely pleasantly surprised and chuckled, "I didn't even expect you to wish me a happy birthday... Thanks, what kind of gift is this?"

"Why don't you just take it apart yourself and you'll see?"

Song Zhiyu handed him the gift box and said sweetly, "Open it and take a look."

"Could it be a prank?"

Looking at her sweet smile, Xu Jinhuan instinctively became more vigilant. He carried the gift box to the living room, unwrapped the outer paper, and saw a silver Garmin logo printed on the dark blue cardboard box. Below the logo was a black watch image that looked very similar to a smartwatch from later generations, with a round dial and a physical button on the right side.

Xu Jinhuan was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Song Zhiyu.

The little girl stood by the table, still smiling sweetly at him. Her dimples were shallow, and her big eyes blinked, overflowing with sweetness and pride. Her voice was also sweet: "Do you like it?"

She offered to introduce it, saying, "Don't you like running? This watch can record running data, such as pace and distance, and it can also measure heart rate. It has GPS positioning and can record running routes. Plus, like the iPhone, it has a touchscreen..."

Apple Watch and Xiaomi Mi Band didn't appear until 2014. At that time, sports watches were still a niche hobby, and their prices were naturally high. Most importantly, most ordinary people probably didn't even know that such a thing existed.

Song Zhiyu was clearly not a fan of this kind of watch; she must have asked countless people and searched countless websites before finding one that could be considered the most suitable for her in 2012…

Xu Jinhuan never expected her to give her such a birthday gift. Thinking that she had just been on guard against whether she was playing a prank, she was moved, ashamed, and a little suspicious.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm dreaming...

Fortunately, this couldn't be a dream, because he had no idea that such a watch existed in 2012, and he couldn't possibly dream of such a gift.

"do you like it?"

After Song Zhiyu finished her introduction, seeing that he didn't speak, she blinked her big eyes and asked him, "It took me a long time to find this watch... Don't you like it?"

I like it, of course I like it!

If Chen Xingzhu had given it to him, Xu Jinhuan would have been excited enough to hug her and kiss her to express his gratitude. But since Song Zhiyu gave it to him, he couldn't do it that way.

He decided to be less argumentative with the little girl in the future and try his best to act like a good older brother. He smiled and said, "I like it, I like it very much, I like it so much."

"I knew it."

Looking at his expression, Song Zhiyu seemed a little shy. She gave a haughty snort, then turned and went to the bathroom to wash up. "What's wrong with the gift I gave you?"

'Those two little bitches, Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu… well, calling them little bitches doesn't seem very polite… those two stinky older sisters, no matter what they give, it can't possibly be better than the gift I chose!'

Song Zhiyu closed the bathroom door with a happy mood. Looking at the girl's still youthful, yet exceptionally pure and sweet face in the mirror, she smiled with pride and satisfaction.

'When I grow up, I'll show them what cruelty is...'
