Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 191 [190] A Crime Committed by an Acquaintance (Thanks to Alliance Leader 'Yun Zan Neng Wan Liu' for the 510 reward)

Xiao Yuanxi chose to give a gift in public, which probably means she wasn't afraid of people knowing what she gave, but Xu Jinhuan was.

So he didn't open the gift. What if he gave something strange and it got back to Chen Xingzhu?

There was no way he could take it apart. Ignoring Xie Zhiqiang and the others' chatter, Xu Jinhuan stuffed the gift box into the desk drawer. Fortunately, the final review hadn't started yet, and there weren't enough books and exercises. He had already put quite a few on the desk, otherwise he might not have been able to fit them all.

"Chen Xingzhu,"

During the break between the second and third periods, Chen Xingzhu and Zhou Wei went to the restroom. On their way back, as they passed through the corridor, a girl from their class suddenly stopped her and said, "I have something to tell you."

Chen Xingzhu nodded slightly, then feigned curiosity and asked, "What?"

"Today is Xu Jinhuan's birthday, right?"

The girl blinked and said, "I heard from Class 11 that before the first class this morning, Xiao Yuanxi from Class 11... you know, before the Qingming Festival, when Xu Jinhuan came to our class to confess to you, didn't a girl in Class 11 also confess to Xu Jinhuan? You know, it was Xiao Yuanxi!"

"I know, I know,"

Zhou Wei urged, "Tell me what it is."

"Just this morning, before the first class, Xiao Yuanxi gave Xu Jinhuan a birthday present in front of the whole class,"

The girl, with a gossipy expression, emphasized, "It was given away publicly!"

Zhu Xinyao asked, "What gift?"

"I do not know."

The girl from Gaomi shook her head. "Xu Jinhuan didn't open the gift. And also, Xiao Yuanxi added Xu Jinhuan's phone number, QQ, and WeChat..."

She reminded Chen Xingzhu, "Xingzhu, Xu Jinhuan made a lot of money from that game, right? And he's doing well in school now, so a lot of girls are eyeing him. You have to be careful... Xiao Yuanxi may not be as pretty as you, but she's quite beautiful, and she's Xu Jinhuan's classmate. She's in a good position to get what she wants."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Wei rolled her eyes. "Xu Jinhuan is too busy pursuing our Xingzhu to be fickle!"

The girl laughed and said, "I was just giving you a heads-up."

"I see."

Chen Xingzhu smiled at the girl, and seeing that she seemed a little surprised and flattered, she smiled again before returning to the classroom with Zhou Wei and the others.

"What happened before the first class, and now two classes have passed, didn't Xu Jinhuan tell you?"

After the four of them sat down, Hu Yingxin asked, "Could Xu Jinhuan really have something on his mind?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Wei retorted, "Maybe Xu Jinhuan didn't care at all, which is why he didn't say anything."

"Let's wait and see."

Zhu Xinyao was also pondering, "Could it be that he felt he couldn't explain it clearly, so he wanted to tell Xingzhu face to face?"

"When Xiao Yuanxi confessed last time, some people said it was a prank and that she didn't really like Xu Jinhuan. It was as if they thought Xu Jinhuan wasn't good enough for Xiao Yuanxi."

Hu Yingxin snorted again, "Let's see what these people say now. Surely Xiao Yuanxi's birthday gift wasn't a prank?"

"Xingzhu!"

The girl who had previously snitched suddenly peeked out from the window and whispered, "And another thing, I was so excited that I forgot to mention that Xiao Yuanxi offered to attend Xu Jinhuan's birthday party tonight, and Xu Jinhuan agreed."

She finished speaking in one breath, then smiled and said, "I'm done, bye!"

Zhou Wei and the others rolled their eyes in disgust, then looked at Chen Xingzhu together. Zhou Wei whispered, "Xingzhu, aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

Chen Xingzhu shook her head, "It's not like Xu Jinhuan gave her a birthday present."

"We can't just let it go like this, can we?"

Hu Yingxin grumbled discontentedly, "After all, Xiao Yuanxi confessed to him, and they're still being all lovey-dovey, and he didn't even tell you..."

"I have an idea."

Zhou Wei suddenly lowered her voice even further, saying mysteriously, "We can go and get revenge on Xu Jinhuan..."

Hu Yingxin asked, "How do we get revenge?"

"You do not know?"

Zhou Wei blinked, "Because of Xingzhu's incident, all the boys in our school now dislike Xu Jinhuan. His bicycle tires get deflated every day..."

"I see!"

Zhu Xinyao realized, "When the third period ends and there are fewer people, let's sneak down and let the air out of Xu Jinhuan's tires?"

"You guys..." Chen Xingzhu was both amused and annoyed. "He didn't do anything, why are you retaliating against him?"

"Xingzhu, you can't be so soft-hearted."

Zhou Wei and her two friends rarely discussed doing something naughty, and they were all a little eager to try it out. "Besides, it's just letting out some gas, Xu Jinhuan won't know..."

"Does what we're doing count as vandalism?"

Zhu Xinyao said with some worry, "I've never done anything like this before..."

As she said this, her eyes shone even brighter, clearly indicating that she really wanted to do something naughty.

Chen Xingzhu initially found it boring, but after being persuaded by the chatter of the others, she found herself somewhat eager to try it out.

"Happy birthday, Huan-ge!"

After the fourth period, Xu Jinhuan came to the bike shed with a gift box and saw Liu Liangfu riding his bicycle over, with two other boys beside him.

Upon seeing Xu Jinhuan, the three greeted him with smiles, but their expressions were all gloating.

"My tire is flat again?"

Xu Jinhuan instantly understood, "Did you see who it was?"

"We don't even know when this happened, how can we find out?"

Liu Liangfu and the others burst out laughing. "It's alright, you're used to it anyway..."

"Could it be that you guys planted it?"

Because the damage was limited to simply releasing air from the valve stem without any real destruction, this level of retaliation began to be seen as a prank, almost like a joke. Xu Jinhuan is now starting to suspect that someone he knows is behind the crime.

"how is this possible?"

"We are absolutely loyal to Brother Huan!"

"There is only one sun in my heart."

The three of them quickly slipped away. Xu Jinhuan went to the bicycle shed, found his old bicycle, and was speechless.

This time, not only were the rear tires deflated, but the front tires were also flat, and both wheels were damaged.

"Hey, hey!"

In the crowd not far away, Zhou Wei and the others excitedly tugged at Chen Xingzhu's sleeve, "Xingzhu, did you see that? Xu Jinhuan!"

"He found it!"

Zhu Xinyao felt a little guilty and hid behind Chen Xingzhu. "He won't suspect us, will he?"

"how is this possible?"

Hu Yingxin whispered, "He's not Zhuge Liang, how could he predict the future?"

Chen Xingzhu didn't say anything, but she also felt a little guilty.

She really didn't want to cause trouble, but after learning about Xiao Yuanxi's situation, she couldn't help but secretly check her phone. She even checked it two or three times during class, afraid of missing any messages from Xu Jinhuan.

As a result, nothing happened until the end of the third period, so she followed Zhou Wei and the others downstairs with a slightly mischievous intention.

When they arrived at the bike shed, they found Xu Jinhuan's bicycle and discovered that the tires had been deflated.

The girls were laughing so hard. Zhou Wei and the others were about to leave when they saw that someone had already gotten there first, but Chen Xingzhu suggested that they take a look at the other tire.

Then everyone noticed that the front tire was intact, and felt that this was unfair to the rear tire, so they considerately made things fair for both wheels.

In short, she bears the primary responsibility for the previous pregnancy's mishap.

"Oh, she's even carrying a gift!"

Zhu Xinyao suddenly saw Xu Jinhuan walk out of the bike shed carrying something, so she reminded Chen Xingzhu, "Was that given to you by Xiao Yuanxi?"

"probably."

Chen Xingzhu spoke uncertainly, but she was already certain in her heart, because if it wasn't the gift wrapping she had given, it must have been from Xiao Yuanxi.

When the tires are flat, you can't push the bicycle directly, otherwise it will cause the valve core to shift. Xu Jinhuan would always be conscious of not lifting the rear wheel to prevent it from putting pressure on the tires. Anyway, there's an air pump soon after you leave the school gate, so it's not too much trouble.

But this time both wheels were flat, which was a bit of a problem; I'd have to carry the bicycle there.

But in this heat, only a fool would actually carry a bicycle there, so Xu Jinhuan chose a less strenuous method:
Go to the supermarket and get the air pump.

Holding the gift Xiao Yuanxi had given him, he took a few steps and spotted Chen Xingzhu and the other three in the crowd.
