Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 203 [202] My brother did it all for you (Third update)

"Is there?"

Song Zhiyu had no idea that Xie Wanqing was deliberately avoiding Xu Jinhuan. She was only guessing and making wild guesses, but judging from Xie Wanqing's reaction, she knew she was right.

"Now you know why my brother is unhappy, right?"

She immediately became more confident and composed, and continued, "However, my brother has been unhappy these past two days, not only because of Sister Wanqing, but also because of Sister Xingzhu."

Xie Wanqing temporarily set aside her shyness and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My brother went to see a movie with Sister Xingzhu a couple of days ago."

Song Zhiyu lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Sister Xingzhu doesn't want anyone to know. My brother told me secretly. Sister Wanqing, please don't tell anyone, especially not Sister Xingzhu..."

"Ok!"

Xie Wanqing nodded seriously, "I definitely won't tell... when they went to see a movie?"

"The day after my brother's birthday."

Song Zhiyu whispered, "But it wasn't my brother who invited Sister Xingzhu; it was Sister Xingzhu who invited my brother, saying it was a birthday present for him..."

In fact, she didn't believe that Chen Xingzhu would take the initiative to ask Xu Jinhuan out; it must have been that shameless Xu Jinhuan who asked Chen Xingzhu out first.

However, she wanted to fool Xie Wanqing, so she deliberately said that and made up a reasonable excuse. She never thought that she would actually guess the truth by accident.

"No wonder..."

Xie Wanqing was slightly taken aback, recalling that the day after Xu Jinhuan's birthday, when she left in the afternoon, Chen Xingzhu was indeed packing up and had even washed her hair.

She was wondering why Chen Xingzhu was washing her hair at that time, but now she finally understood that it was because she had an appointment with Xu Jinhuan, which is why she washed her hair specifically.

She felt a sudden tightness in her chest, but forced a smile and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Of course not!"

Song Zhiyu said without hesitation, "Although my brother is a bit fickle and indecisive, he likes you and also has feelings for Sister Xingzhu, but he clearly likes you more!"
“If it were you, Wanqing, who asked him out, he would be ecstatic. But now you're ignoring him, and instead, Xingzhu is asking him out. My brother is a lecher, and Xingzhu is so beautiful. If this continues, the scales in his heart will definitely tip towards Xingzhu…”

Song Zhiyu's words were so reasonable that I almost believed them myself. "My brother knows what kind of person he is. He knows that if things continue like this, he will eventually end up with Sister Xingzhu, and then he will have no hope for you at all. He must be in a lot of pain!"

"..."

Xie Wanqing vaguely sensed that something was amiss, and after thinking about it carefully, she said, "Then, is it possible that your brother has been very happy these past two days because Xingzhu invited him to go to the movies, so he's happy? That would make sense, wouldn't it?"

"impossible!"

Song Zhiyu flatly denied it, "I can tell whether my brother is really happy or not, and besides..."

To increase credibility, she went further and fabricated a story: "Besides, Sister Wanqing, you don't know, do you? My brother keeps a diary, and I've secretly read it."

"what?"

Xie Wanqing was even more surprised. She never expected that Xu Jinhuan would keep a diary, and she never expected that Song Zhiyu would peek at it.

"real!"

Song Zhiyu nodded seriously, worried that Xie Wanqing would ask Xu Jinhuan to confirm, which would expose the truth, so she added, "But my brother is embarrassed to let others see it. If you ask him, he'll definitely say he didn't write it..."

Even if Xie Wanqing confronts Xu Jinhuan, she won't be able to confirm that she was the one who lied.

She inwardly applauded her own intelligence and asked seriously, "Sister Wanqing, I want to ask you a question."

Xie Wanqing felt a little flustered, but still asked, "What?"

Do you like my brother or not?

Song Zhiyu stared at her with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes without blinking. "You don't need to answer me. Just think it through yourself."

She spoke in a philosopher's tone, like something out of a movie: "If you have absolutely no feelings for my brother, then you don't need to worry about anything, and he'll end up with Sister Xingzhu; but if you have even the slightest feeling for my brother, or if you're unsure whether you have feelings for him, then you should take the initiative with him..."

"You don't even need to take the initiative. Just don't reject him or avoid him when my brother is nice to you. That way, he will be motivated to reject Sister Xingzhu and continue to try to be with you."

"..."

Xie Wanqing was in a state of utter confusion and had no idea what to say.

“Look, even though you’ve been avoiding my brother lately, he’s been working really hard on that game, right?” Song Zhiyu looked at her expression and pressed on, “My aunt and uncle don’t actually have high expectations for my brother. Not to mention now, even after graduation, my aunt and uncle never thought my brother could earn tens of thousands a month.”

"But now, my brother is only in his second year of high school, and he's already earning tens of thousands of yuan a month. That's already amazing and outstanding, right? But my brother isn't arrogant at all..."

Song Zhiyu paused here, realizing that her words sounded a bit too guilty, so she changed her tune: "Of course, he is indeed a bit boastful and loves to show off, but he is not arrogant or complacent. He is still studying and working hard. Sister Wanqing, you must know why he does this, right?"

"..."

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Because of me?"

"It's definitely because of you!"

Song Zhiyu slapped her thigh, getting so into the performance that she accidentally hurt herself a little. She frowned and endured it, continuing to deceive, "Look, my aunt and uncle don't have cars, but Sister Wanqing, you're still in school, and you already have a car, an Audi at that."

"This……"

Xie Wanqing wanted to explain why her parents bought her a car, but Song Zhiyu interrupted her, saying, "No matter what the reason is, at least compared to my brother's family, your family is quite wealthy, right?"

"……Um."

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment, but did not deny the fact, and finally understood what Song Zhiyu meant.

"So, my brother must be under psychological pressure."

Song Zhiyu sighed and said, "He's such a chauvinist, and he likes you so much, he definitely doesn't want you to suffer after you're with him, so he wants to work hard to earn money so that he can give you a good life in the future..."

"..."

Xie Wanqing remained silent for a long time.

"Sister Wanqing, I'm telling you this secretly behind my brother's back because I really think he likes you a lot, and you're a good match for him."

Song Zhiyu gave a final summary, looking a little uneasy, "Of course I like Sister Xingzhu too, but I feel your personality is better and more suitable for my brother... I don't know if this is the right thing to do, don't feel pressured, I don't want to put pressure on you, I'm just afraid you'll miss out..."

She convincingly portrayed herself as someone who didn't know how to express herself and was a little incoherent, "Anyway... well, well... I don't want you to miss out. Don't feel pressured, and don't think about age or anything like that. Look at my parents, how much they like you!"

"No, I wasn't thinking anything."

Seeing her unease, Xie Wanqing felt guilty yet grateful, thinking that she was only doing this for her own sake, and quickly comforted her, "I understand what you mean, I will think about it seriously."

"Uh-huh!"

Song Zhiyu smiled and said, "That's good!"

"Then I'll go back first."

Xie Wanqing sat for a while longer, then got up to say goodbye. She went back upstairs and sat there in a daze for a while. After hesitating for a moment, she checked the time and sent a message to her younger brother: "Have you finished class yet?"

Xie Zhiqiang quickly replied: "get out of class is over, what's up?"

Xie Wanqing: "It's nothing."

Now that get out of class was over, she felt relieved and sent Xu Jinhuan a message: "I've had someone translate the French and German versions. Should I give them to you tonight?"

She made a note in a document, which she could have sent directly to Xu Jinhuan, but considering that she had neglected him for so long, she decided to meet with him and say a few more words.

Xu Jinhuan was unaware of the document and assumed it was handwritten. Upon seeing the message, she didn't think much of it and replied, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister."

Xie Wanqing inexplicably felt much better and typed back: "It's okay, you focus on your studies."

Xu Jinhuan: "Yes, sister, you should also study hard."

Xie Wanqing replied with an emoji, feeling relaxed and happy, and then saw her brother's complaints:
"what does it mean?"

"You're afraid Xu Jinhuan's phone will ring in class and he'll get caught by the teacher, but you're not afraid my phone will ring and I'll get caught by the teacher, right?"

Xie Wanqing typed a reply: "That's because they study hard, and I'm afraid of affecting their studies, since you're not studying hard."

"..."

Xie Zhiqiang was speechless, increasingly doubting whether he or Xu Jinhuan was the real younger brother.
