Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 211 [210] Taking care of Sister Xie (Third Update)

Xie Wanqing was taken aback, then blushed and said, "Why should I share a room with him? Weren't we already separated?"

According to the original room division, Xu Jinhuan and Xu Haiguang shared one room, Song Xiaohui and Song Zhiyu shared one room, and Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu shared one room. Now that Chen Xingruo has joined, she is crammed into a room with Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu.

We booked an extra room tonight, firstly because the room rate wasn't expensive, and secondly because we need to rest well and recharge for our hike tomorrow.

Tomorrow we'll go to the mountaintop. A room costs 800 yuan per night, so we won't easily ask for extra rooms, since it's just for one night and we'll be coming down the mountain the next day.

"I think it would be better for my aunt and uncle to live together."

Song Zhiyu gave a perfectly reasonable explanation: "They've been married for so many years, and it's rare for them to go on a trip like this. They can talk to each other anytime about their feelings about the trip or if they feel uncomfortable..."

She paused, then blushed slightly and whispered, "Even if I wanted to...do whatever...it would be fine, right?"

"what?"

Xie Wanqing looked blankly at her for several seconds before she suddenly realized what "doing what" meant, and her face immediately turned red.

Although she was older and had been influenced by dormitory late-night talks, she still only had a vague understanding of these things, and didn't even know if she would still have this ability at forty or fifty, but was too embarrassed to ask.

“If that’s the case, then someone will have to share a room with my brother.”

After explaining her reasons, Song Zhiyu then laid out the "difficulties," saying, "I think it would be best if you, Wanqing, slept in the same room as my brother. He would definitely be happy to do so..."

"no no……"

Xie Wanqing blushed and quickly shook her head, "No! No way!"

"Anyway, there are two beds, my brother wouldn't dare to do anything."

Song Zhiyu kindly advised, then added, "As long as you don't agree."

"That's not OK!"

No matter what Song Zhiyu said, Xie Wanqing refused to agree.

"What should I do?"

Song Zhiyu frowned, looking very worried, and said, "Then I'll ask Sister Xingzhu again..."

"go ahead."

Xie Wanqing nodded quickly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xingzhu probably wouldn't agree either..."

She tentatively suggested, "Why don't you share a room with your brother? It's just the two of you siblings, there's nothing between you."

Chen Xingzhu knew long ago that Xu Jinhuan and Song Zhiyu were not related by blood, and Chen Xingruo also heard about it from her sister, but Xie Wanqing was completely unaware of it and thought that the two were cousins.

"what……"

Song Zhiyu called out with a drawn-out tone, looking very unwilling, "No way... I'll ask Sister Xingzhu."

In fact, just as Xie Wanqing said, Song Zhiyu was well aware that Chen Xingzhu would not agree. If it were just going out with Xu Jinhuan alone, there might be a tiny chance that he would agree, but now that he was going out with Xu Jinhuan's parents, how could he possibly agree to such a thing?

However, we still need to ask; the process cannot be omitted.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make it seem like I was deliberately trying to sleep with Xu Jinhuan?

I was trying to be considerate of my aunt and uncle's feelings, but neither Wanqing nor Xingzhu would allow it, so I had no choice but to compromise.

"Sister Xingzhu, I need to discuss something with you,"

Song Zhiyu sent Chen Xingzhu a WeChat message, briefly summarizing the situation, and then asked her, "How about you and my brother share a room tomorrow night?"

She was about to continue typing, emphasizing that it was about two beds or something, when she saw that Chen Xingzhu had already replied: "Okay."

???

Song Zhiyu was stunned and didn't know what to say. She looked at herself carefully for a long time, but still couldn't believe her eyes.

Chen Xingzhu actually agreed?

How can this be?

"What laughing?"

Chen Xingzhu came out of the bathroom and saw her younger sister lying on the bed, giggling like a little hen. She smiled and asked her.

Chen Xingruo smiled and said, "I'm happy for you."

"what?"

Chen Xingzhu immediately became alert, walked over and saw her holding her phone, quickly snatched it back, glanced at the chat history, her face turned bright red, and she scolded, "If you keep doing this, I'll hit you!"

"Hehe~"

Chen Xingruo wasn't scared at all. She rested her chin on her hand and stared at her sister with wide eyes: "Sis, will you say yes?"

"Of course not."

As she spoke, Chen Xingruo typed a reply to Song Zhiyu: "Xingruo just used my phone to reply."

"call!"

In the next room, Song Zhiyu was still confused. Seeing Chen Xingzhu's explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent a voice message, but her tone turned disappointed: "Ah? Then, Xingzhu, do you agree?"

Before Chen Xingzhu could reply, she sent a second voice message, earnestly persuading, "It will definitely be a standard room with two beds. As long as you don't agree, my brother definitely won't dare to act like a hooligan..."

Chen Xingzhu also sent a voice message saying, "Then let's book another room later, I'll pay for it."

Song Zhiyu said, "My aunt and uncle would definitely not agree, otherwise my brother would have contributed money too."

She continued to plead, "Sister Xingzhu, please say yes! I promise you, even if my brother has the desire, he definitely won't have the guts."

Chen Xingzhu replied via text: "No." Her words were concise, but her attitude was much firmer than Xie Wanqing's. This wasn't because Xie Wanqing wanted to live with Xu Jinhuan more, but rather it was due to her personality.

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu have somewhat similar outward personalities, and they tend to be more tolerant of the words and actions of their friends and relatives. However, when it comes to matters of principle that require a decision, Chen Xingzhu is more resilient and decisive, while Xie Wanqing is much weaker.

"Ok."

Seeing that Chen Xingzhu was determined, Song Zhiyu stopped trying to persuade her. She said goodnight to Chen Xingzhu and then turned to Xie Wanqing on the bed next to her and said, "Sister Xingzhu won't agree either. Sister Wanqing, what should we do?"

She trailed off her words, her coquettish manner incredibly cute, and Xie Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Then you can live with your brother..."

"I don't want to live with him."

Song Zhiyu mumbled a couple of words and said, "Never mind, I'll go to sleep first... I'm turning off the light."

"Ah."

Song Zhiyu turned off the lights, then secretly revealed a sly, smug smile in the darkness.

It's not her fault. She had already asked Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu, but neither of them agreed. She had no choice but to live with Xu Jinhuan.

This is sacrificing oneself for the greater good, and because it's done under the guise of siblings, no one can say anything about it.

As for Chen Xingruo, she was not even in her consideration. Chen Xingruo had no relationship with Xu Jinhuan, so why should she ask her?

"bang bang"

"bang bang"

The next morning, Xu Jinhuan was woken up by her alarm clock. Before washing up, she knocked on each room door and called out to people. Only her parents were already up; the other four girls were still asleep.

He woke them up, then went back to wash up. Fortunately, none of the four of them wore makeup. After washing up, they simply applied sunscreen, and he applied it to Song Xiaohui as well. Then, they packed their bags, checked out of the room, and set off.

After having breakfast, buying hiking poles, and filming a few backup transition videos, the group finally set off. They took a bus and then a coach to the South Gate of Huangshan Scenic Area, which is Tangkou Town, and then took a scenic bus to Yuping Cableway.

They were supposed to take a bus to the Ciguang Pavilion trailhead instead of the cable car, but Xu Jinhuan had been here a long time ago and his memory was hazy, so he got off at the cable car station and had to walk for quite a while to reach Ciguang Pavilion.

Fortunately, no one knew he had been here before, and he had just arrived in high spirits, so no one cared about it. He chatted and took pictures along the way, having a great time.

"Don't linger here too long, we're currently on the cable car route."

Seeing that the girls were getting a little too excited, Xu Jinhuan had to remind them, "In other words, the real scenery hasn't arrived yet."

"It's okay, we have the energy anyway."

Song Zhiyu was full of confidence. Even Xie Wanqing, who was originally the most apprehensive, did not feel any pressure after climbing this section of the road and laughed, "That's right, we have a whole day anyway, let's take our time."

"Row."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, waiting to see them prove them wrong.

"Come on, let's take a group photo."

Xu Jinhuan quickly joined in and pulled Chen Xingzhu to take a group photo. Chen Xingzhu blushed a little, but stood still.

"Alright, one at a time."

Chen Xingruo took out her phone to help take photos, saying, "If I had known you were taking such important photos, I would have brought my camera... It's okay, at least you can see them clearly."

"Zhizhi, come here."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't shy at all. She called out to Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing to take turns taking pictures, and then asked Chen Xingruo, "Want to take a picture together?"

"No, thanks!"

Chen Xingruo refused without hesitation.

Song Zhiyu pouted and said, "Anyway, she looks just like Sister Xingzhu. Taking a picture with one is the same as taking a picture with two people."

"Huh...huh..."

The excitement lasted only an hour. Soon everyone became more mature and composed. Two hours later, Xie Wanqing was panting heavily.

Where are we?

Song Zhiyu was also a little tired and couldn't help but ask Xu Jinhuan, "Have we climbed halfway yet?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "We haven't even climbed halfway up the cable car route yet."

"what?"

Even Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, somewhat regretting not taking the cable car, but it was too late to regret it now, and she could only continue climbing.

Among them, Xu Haiguang undoubtedly has the best physical strength, followed by Xu Jinhuan, then Chen Xingruo and Song Xiaohui. Chen Xingzhu doesn't like sports much and has less endurance than her sister, but still better than Song Zhiyu.

Finally, there's Xie Wanqing. Even after recent stair-climbing exercises, Xie Wanqing, who used to be out of breath climbing stairs, still has a drastic difference in stamina compared to the others.

"No, I can't walk anymore."

They climbed and rested intermittently until they reached the Halfway Temple. Xie Wanqing was completely exhausted and could no longer climb. After resting for a while, she said with some shame, "You guys go ahead and climb up. I'll climb slowly behind you and rest a bit more."

That won't do. What if something happens to her if she falls behind? No one can take responsibility. Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll accompany Sister Wanqing as she climbs slowly. You guys go up first, so that everyone can rest with her and she won't feel bad about it."

"Ok."

Song Zhiyu quickly winked at Xie Wanqing, then was the first to agree, saying, "Then we'll go first and wait for you up ahead. Remember to check your phones."

Chen Xingzhu said to Xu Jinhuan, "Then take it slow, don't rush."

Xu Haiguang gave Song Xiaohui a few more instructions, and then he and three other girls climbed up first, leaving Xu Jinhuan to take care of Xie Wanqing at the end.
