Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 194 [193] Xie Wanqing's Gift

"The gift that pretty girl in your class gave you is on your desk."

There was a lot of food today, and Xu Jinhuan helped clean up after the meal before washing his hands and returning to his room. Song Zhiyu saw him doing this and reminded him from behind, "It's right next to the gift that Sister Wanqing gave you. Don't accuse us of hiding it for you later."

Did I say anything?

Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips and returned to her room. Sure enough, she saw two gift boxes on the table. One of them had a familiar light green wrapping and was a gift from Xiao Yuanxi, but the wrapping had obviously been opened.

'They must have taken them apart one by one!'

Xu Jinhuan didn't even need to think; he could figure out with his toes that it was Song Zhiyu's handiwork. But he didn't care and wasn't even in a hurry to open it himself.

The other was a square box with beige striped packaging. Xu Jinhuan carefully opened it and saw two boxes inside. The box on the left was sealed with transparent plastic, and inside the box on the left was an exquisite white porcelain cup.

Xu Jinhuan opened the box on the right and found a red amulet inside. It had seal characters embroidered on the front and red tassels at the bottom. He didn't know if it was bought or embroidered by himself.

Xu Jinhuan picked up the Ping An Fu (a type of amulet), examined it carefully, and quickly guessed that it must have been embroidered by Xie Wanqing herself.

If it was purchased, it shouldn't be crooked...

"Huh, is that a Ping An Fu?"

Suddenly, Song Zhiyu's voice rang out from the side. Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw her peering through the door. So he put down the Ping An Fu (a type of Chinese herbal tea), opened the cup to take a look, and then placed it on the table.

After his rebirth, he didn't bother with these things. He's currently using a porcelain cup he bought when he was a child, which isn't very nice.

Xie Wanqing clearly thought so too, so she gave an extra cup as a gift in addition to the Ping An Fu (a type of amulet).

At this moment, Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu also walked over. They exchanged a glance with him. Chen Xingzhu's expression was calm, but Xie Wanqing seemed a little nervous and even a little shy. However, she quickly hid it and explained with a smile, "I didn't know what to give, so I picked out two things..."

"Thank you sister, I like it very much."

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he glanced at Chen Xingzhu again. Chen Xingzhu knew what he meant; he was also talking to her. Thinking about going to the movies together tomorrow, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Xiao Guai is very sensible. Just then, it ran over, so Chen Xingzhu squatted down to hug it and took the opportunity to cover herself up.

Song Zhiyu glanced at Xu Jinhuan and said, "Don't you want to see the gift your pretty female classmate gave you?"

Xu Jinhuan was almost immune to her sarcastic remarks. When she opened the gift box that Xiao Yuanxi had given her, she saw that it was also a transparent plastic-sealed box, but inside was a very familiar airplane model.

That's the 10th Master who "covers a plastic sheet at home and wins 6-0 outside".

"Ok?"

Xu Jinhuan was a little surprised; she really didn't expect Xiao Yuanxi to give her this.

"There's also a note."

Song Zhiyu, standing to the side, pursed her lips and, without any hesitation, reminded him, "It's so touching."

Xu Jinhuan looked at her suspiciously, then at Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, knowing that the three of them must have seen it before he went home.

He was too lazy to investigate further. He found the note and saw that it was written in neat handwriting:

I didn't know what you liked, but I overheard you discussing these things with your classmates once when I passed by, so I bought this. I hope you like it.

Happy birthday to you.

Xiao Yuanxi

Xu Jinhuan quickly remembered that it was during a break last month when he was discussing the combat capabilities of various countries with Xie Zhiqiang, Wang Yuan and a few others. The J-20 had already made its maiden flight last year, but it had not yet been put into service. The main force was still the J-10.

Even more than a decade later, if it weren't for that 6-0 victory, many Chinese people wouldn't have realized the J-10's combat capabilities, and now, in comparison, it is naturally even more belittled.

Xu Jinhuan then made a few jokes, which made several classmates laugh, all of whom thought he was talking nonsense.

It was around that time that Xiao Yuanxi overheard it, so she bought this model and gave it to him.

This wasn't a large, realistic model, but rather a decorative piece. The workmanship looked quite good, and Xu Jinhuan was fairly satisfied. He disassembled it and placed it on the table.

"what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Song Zhiyu began to feel indignant on Xie Wanqing's behalf, "You don't care about the gift that Sister Wanqing gave you, but you put out the gift for the pretty female classmate first, right?"

"Don't cause trouble here."

Considering the gift, Xu Jinhuan didn't hold it against her.

Among these gifts, the watch given by Song Zhiyu was undoubtedly the most expensive, estimated to be close to 3000 yuan. This was in 2012, and even if Song Zhiyu had a secret stash of money, she would have spent a lot of it.

Moreover, this is a niche product, so she must have spent a lot of time researching related information. In addition, Xie Wanqing's gift took the most time and effort, while Chen Xingzhu's gift... Xu Jinhuan was most looking forward to it.

"I love and am very touched by the gift my sister put so much effort into making."

Knowing that girls are sensitive and might cause misunderstandings, he told Xie Wanqing again.

"No la."

Xie Wanqing could tell from his words that she had clearly made the peace charm herself, and felt a little embarrassed. She also pretended to tease Xiao Guai.

"I still don't know what Sister Wanqing gave me."

Song Zhiyu came over to look, not paying much attention to the cup, but carefully examining the auspicious charm, she turned to Xie Wanqing and asked, "Sister Wanqing, did you sew this yourself? You actually know how to do this..."

She didn't realize it, but since Ping An Fu was bought, Xu Jinhuan wouldn't have said it was "time-consuming and laborious."

Xie Wanqing smiled but didn't dare to say anything.

"That's so thoughtful!"

Song Zhiyu smiled and praised him, then asked Chen Xingzhu with her big, curious eyes, "Sister Xingzhu, what gift did you give my brother?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled calmly and said, "A fountain pen."

"oh oh."

Song Zhiyu nodded and didn't ask any further questions, but she pretended to be deliberately changing the subject so as not to embarrass Xingzhu, saying, "That's great, receiving so many gifts for one birthday... Don't forget to give me a gift on my birthday!"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "I won't forget."

Are you going back?

Xie Wanqing asked Chen Xingzhu, who nodded. Then the two of them turned around and said goodbye to Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui before going back upstairs together.

After Xu Jinhuan tidied up, there was plenty of space in the room. He put the gift boxes from Song Zhiyu, Chen Xingzhu, and Xie Wanqing into the cabinet. As for Xiao...

I'm so sorry, although I still have time, I need to save it for the gifts I'll be giving to the other three people later, so I have to throw away her gift box.

"Liu Liangfu and I will go get the cake first, then we'll meet up."

Wang Yuan and his friends, who often went out to play, had already decided on a place to eat that evening. Liu Liangfu borrowed an electric scooter from a classmate, and Wang Yuan went with him to get the cake. As soon as the school bell rang, he turned around, said something, and immediately slipped away.

Xu Jinhuan, Xie Zhiqiang, and Li Hang got up and walked out of the classroom together. Xiao Yuanxi had already stood up. Seeing them coming over, she said to Xu Jinhuan, "Can I go with Wang Qi?"

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I also wish you a happy birthday."

"Go ahead."

Xiao Yuanxi wasn't familiar with the others, and going alone would definitely be awkward. Besides, Wang Qi was more mature and popular in class. She and Wang Yuan seemed to be classmates in the first year of high school. Going with her would actually help create a better atmosphere than Xiao Yuanxi going alone.

The group left the classroom together, and when they reached the second floor, Xu Jinhuan said, "You guys go ahead, I'll wait here for someone."

"Shall we wait for Chen Xingzhu?"

Xiao Yuanxi smiled and said, "I'll wait with you."

Li Hang and Xie Zhiqiang looked at each other. Although they really wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, they were afraid of getting involved, so they wisely chose to leave: "Then we'll be going now."

Xiao Yuanxi was surprised that they were all leaving. Seeing that only she, Wang Qi, and Xu Jinhuan were waiting for Chen Xingzhu and the others, she felt a little awkward. However, she managed to keep her composure and asked Xu Jinhuan, "Did you open the gift I gave you?"

"I really liked it when it was demolished."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."

"It's okay, as long as you like it."

Hearing him say that, Xiao Yuanxi relaxed a lot. Then she looked down into the corridor and said with a bright smile, "I was worried you wouldn't like it. I'm glad you like it."

Xu Jinhuan turned around following her gaze and saw Chen Xingzhu, Zhou Wei, Zhu Xinyao, and Hu Yingxin walking out of the classroom together, all staring at her.

Chen Xingzhu's expression remained unchanged, but she appeared more aloof than she did in front of others. Even her clear eyes seemed to be frozen with frost, only showing a slight fluctuation when Xu Jinhuan looked over and met her gaze.

When Zhou Wei and the other two saw Xu Jinhuan and Xiao Yuanxi standing together, with Xiao Yuanxi smiling like a flower, their expressions clearly turned sour.

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone.

　　I had a severe writer's block today, but I've finished updating. Sorry about that.
