Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 193 [192] A Simple Birthday Wish
Xu Jinhuan borrowed an air pump, went back and inflated the tires, then slowly pedaled his bicycle home.

"Xu Jinhuan!"

Just as Xu Jinhuan reached the entrance of the residential area, someone called from behind. He turned around and saw Miao Yin walking over with a smile: "Hey, I heard that both of your tires are flat this time. Is that true?"

"You found out pretty quickly."

Xu Jinhuan got off the car, waited for her to come over, and then pushed his bicycle away, asking, "Who told you that?"

I heard it from someone on the bus.

Miao Yin said with a smile, "You still say you and Chen Xingzhu aren't together? If you're not together, why are you so hated?"

"A false reputation can be harmful."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and felt it was necessary to ask Chen Xingzhu for some compensation, otherwise he would feel sorry for the bicycle that had been in trouble every day.

After parting ways with Miaoyin downstairs, Xu Jinhuan climbed to the fourth floor and found that the door was not closed, the dining table was already full of food, and Xiao Guai was squatting on the floor under the table, staring longingly at the door.

Hearing Xu Jinhuan go upstairs, Xiao Guai cautiously moved to the side. Song Zhiyu thought it was going to run away, so she threatened from the side, "You dare to take one step forward and see what happens?"

"I am back."

Xu Jinhuan changed into slippers and took the shoes inside, intending to put them on the balcony.

"Ugh, it stinks!"

Song Zhiyu came over with a large bottle of cola and a bottle of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator. Seeing him carrying these, she disdainfully held the beer in front of her nose.

"You smell something rotten?"

Xu Jinhuan pretended to hand over the shoes, but Song Zhiyu exclaimed "Eh!" and kicked him, saying, "Stay away from me."

'Indeed, a well-behaved younger sister is fleeting, but an immature younger sister is forever.'

Xu Jinhuan sighed inwardly, reminiscing for a few seconds about the well-behaved and sensible Song Zhiyu from that morning, before asking, "Where are Sister and Xingzhu?"

"Here it is."

Xie Wanqing brought out a plate of fragrant braised pork with potatoes from the kitchen. Today, she was unusually not trying to hide her figure. She was wearing a white skirt with a light purple short-sleeved top, both colors and styles were elegant and tasteful.

However, both the top and skirt were designed to be fitted at the waist, highlighting her slender waist and showcasing her enviable figure. She looked gentle and dignified yet charming and alluring, and smiled at Xu Jinhuan, saying, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you sister."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and thanked her, then saw Chen Xingzhu also bringing out bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Everyone's so diligent, except for someone..."

"What do you mean?"

Song Zhiyu said irritably in the living room, "You're being sarcastic, don't think I can't tell... Uncle, come back! My brother is insulting me!"

Xu Jinhuan put the shoes on the balcony and came back to find his father sweating profusely. Song Zhiyu greeted him and then started complaining.

"It's his birthday today, don't take it personally, scold him tomorrow."

Xu Haiguang had seen the siblings arguing before, so he could easily guess what was going on. Besides, he and his wife had already discussed it and decided not to get involved in their affairs. He went to the bathroom to wash his face with a smile.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work."

Since Song Xiaohui didn't have to go to work, she was much more relaxed at home cooking and cleaning. After preparing the food, she cleaned up in the kitchen, and Xu Jinhuan deliberately went over to flatter her, saying, "Let me give you a shoulder massage."

"Go, go."

My mother shooed away flies with disgust.

"There's cake too?"

Xu Jinhuan returned to the dining table and saw a small cake in the middle. She smiled and asked, "Who bought this?"

"you guess."

Song Zhiyu poured drinks at the table and said first, "If you can't guess, you're not allowed to eat the cake."

"It's my birthday, and you won't let me eat cake? How could you even think of that?"

Xu Jinhuan pulled out a chair and sat down, pondering, "You came back with Xingzhu, so it definitely wasn't just the two of you. It must be Mom and Dad or my sister... I'm guessing it was my dad, which is why he came back so late, right?" Song Xiaohui smiled and said reproachfully, "Your dad brought it back, but it had already melted."

"Mom's giving me a hint," Xu Jinhuan instantly understood, and smiled at Xie Wanqing, "Did my sister buy this? I'm so touched."

As they sat down, Xu Jinhuan, holding a drink, said, "Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday. Of course, the most important thing on my birthday is to thank my mom. She made such a big feast. She worked so hard."

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie!"

"Auntie, you've worked so hard!"

Several girls raised their glasses as well, and Song Xiaohui smiled and clinked glasses with each of them. After taking a sip of her drink and putting it down, she looked at the three pretty and sensible girls at the table, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling a little worried for her son.

Halfway through the meal, Song Xiaohui asked, "Wanqing just said that the advertising fee suddenly jumped to almost four thousand today?"

Song Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

Chen Xingzhu didn't speak, but she also showed a look of surprise. The advertising fee for "Flappy Bird" had been stuck at 2000+ for several days, and finally it surged, which could be regarded as breaking through a bottleneck.

"So many?"

The advertising fee was delayed by two days; it was actually the advertising fee from the day before yesterday, but since her parents were used to saying "today," Xu Jinhuan didn't correct them anymore and said, "I haven't watched it yet."

He took out his phone and checked the backend data. Sure enough, he saw that the advertising revenue on the 19th had risen to 3879.9 yuan, which, rounded up, was indeed four thousand yuan.

"Advertising revenue on the US server has increased."

Xu Jinhuan immediately understood what was going on. He was somewhat surprised, but not entirely unexpected. This was to be expected, as Flappy Bird was historically more popular in Europe and America.

Moreover, it is now 2012, and domestic iPhone sales have not yet taken off, while the number of users in Europe and the United States has an overwhelming advantage.

"Great news, let's cut the cake!"

Xu Jinhuan was in a good mood and deliberately saved some room for the cake. "I'll make a wish first, one at noon and one in the evening."

Song Zhiyu turned the fan that was blowing air next to her around, and Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing helped to plug it in and hold it in place. Xu Haiguang lit the fire, and then they all watched Xu Jinhuan make a wish earnestly.

"call!"

After making a wish, Xu Jinhuan blew out the candle in one breath and said with a smile, "Wish done, how about we get some chopsticks to eat?"

Song Xiaohui retorted, "Who eats with chopsticks?"

"that is!"

Song Zhiyu led the way in expressing her disdain, saying, "There's no sense of ceremony at all. How can you do this to the cake that Sister Wanqing bought?"

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to cut the cake for them, "Mom, the first piece is for you, on Good Friday; the second piece is for Dad; the third piece is for Sister Wanqing who bought the cake..."

Since there was another meal tonight, Xie Wanqing bought a small cake, just enough for each of the six people. Xu Jinhuan cut it first and then distributed the rest.

"The third to last piece is for Chen, who worked hard to tutor me; the second piece is for my rather cute little sister; and the last piece is for myself..."

It goes without saying that the money should be given to the parents first. Although the others may have different opinions, it is actually given to them according to their closeness to the family.

Although Song Zhiyu is a cousin, she is currently treated the same as a younger sister. Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu are outsiders at this time. Chen Xingzhu is essentially a girlfriend without a formal title, so Xie Wanqing will be given the position first.

None of the others had any objections, except for Song Zhiyu, who muttered, "I'm just cute..."

She took a couple of bites of cake and asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"

"secret."

Even if Xu Jinhuan were beaten to death, he would never tell them his wish, because the wish he just made over the cake Xie Wanqing bought was:
'I don't want to waste any more of my prime. I hope I can strip Xingzhu naked as soon as possible and have a deep emotional exchange every day...'

Simple, unpretentious, and straightforward.

Moreover, he felt that this wish was not difficult, because it was something that would happen sooner or later; he just wanted to bring it forward a little.

It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so why not enjoy it sooner?
