Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 216 [215] Zhizhi: Do you like me? (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Xu Jinhuan wasn't surprised by anything strange that Chen Xingruo and Song Zhiyu did, so he didn't take it to heart at all. He took a lot of food back, ate and drank his fill, chatted for a while, and then went back to his room.

"Dad, can you press this for me?"

Xu Haiguang was a manual laborer and had experience in massaging muscles. When they returned to the room, Xu Jinhuan called her father for help and instructed Chen Xingzhu and the others, "You guys have to get a massage too. Don't be afraid of the pain, you must get a massage."

Chen Xingruo blinked and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Jinhuan nodded and said, "It will definitely hurt, but you can bear it. If you don't massage it, it will hurt even more when you go down the mountain tomorrow."

"Then let's go see your uncle to help you with the massage."

Chen Xingruo asked with a grin, "Sis, are you going or not?"

Chen Xingzhu nodded without hesitation. Xie Wanqing didn't say anything, but her eyes lit up, clearly looking forward to seeing Xu Jinhuan scream in pain.

"Uncle, come quick!"

Song Zhiyu was even more decisive, urging Xu Jinhuan to hurry up and make a move.

Song Xiaohui also laughed and said, "It's a good opportunity for everyone to see how to press the buttons, so we don't press them randomly..."

"Just look at it."

Xu Jinhuan scoffed, "I'm not like you guys, screaming in pain the moment I press you..."

Chen Xingruo asked, "You didn't press it for us, how do you know it will scream when we press it once?"

"...Let me show you what true integrity is!"

Xu Jinhuan ignored her, walked back to her room with her head held high, and flopped onto the bed. "Dad, you do it."

"Uncle, you can do it!"

Song Zhiyu encouraged him, "My brother isn't afraid of pain."

"Uncle, push harder!"

Chen Xingruo chimed in, "Press harder for it to be effective."

"Uh-huh!"

Xie Wanqing still remembered the embarrassing things she had done on the mountain and in the room, and couldn't wait for Xu Jinhuan to embarrass herself, so she quickly agreed, "You have to use more force to stretch your muscles."

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle, good luck!"

Xu Haiguang grabbed his son's leg and pinched and squeezed his calf. Xu Jinhuan tried to hold back, but he didn't expect his father to be so strong. He yelled "Ouch!" and almost jumped off the bed. "Dad, be gentle!"

"Hahahaha!"

The girls burst into laughter instantly, and Song Xiaohui couldn't help but chuckle as well, scolding Xu Haiguang, "Be gentle!"

"I didn't use much force!"

Xu Haiguang, who had been doing manual labor for many years, was naturally much stronger than the average person. He didn't feel like he was using much force. Seeing his son writhing in pain like a fish out of water, he quickly comforted him, "I'll be gentle, I'll be gentle."

"hiss--"

Xu Haiguang reduced his strength, but at this point, it would definitely hurt to exercise the muscles. This was his son, not his daughter, so Xu Haiguang didn't hold back and continued to pinch Xu Jinhuan until he grimaced and tossed and turned on the bed.

"Hahaha!"

Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingruo kept laughing on the side. Xie Wanqing felt embarrassed in front of him, so she was more unrestrained than usual and laughed happily as well.

Although Chen Xingzhu was occasionally amused by his comical appearance, she also felt sorry for him. She wanted to remind Xu Haiguang to be gentler, but was too embarrassed to say so, so she said, "Let's go back."

"No, I want to finish reading it."

Chen Xingruo refused without hesitation, "It's so exciting, I definitely can't miss it..."

"That's right!"

Song Zhiyu reached an agreement with her again, and they even gave each other a high five. Then, they both took out their phones and recorded the scene.

"call--"

Having finally endured this torture, and with her father finally letting go, Xu Jinhuan lay on the bed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Forgetting all about saving face, she cried out, "It hurt so much..."

"Let's go!"

After he finished pressing the button, Chen Xingruo pulled her sister away.

"Don't leave in a hurry."

Xu Jinhuan sat up and asked, "Does anyone need help? I can give you a massage for free..."

"Do not care."

Chen Xingruo dragged her sister away.

Xie Wanqing had initially thought that although his massage of her was painful, it might have been sweet and romantic. However, when she heard that he was going to massage other people, she was a little unhappy. She said goodbye to Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui and left.

"Why are you going?"

Seeing Song Zhiyu follow along, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but ask her, "Don't you live here?"

"I'll ask Sister Xingzhu and the others to give me a massage!" Song Zhiyu said matter-of-factly, "Or should I ask you to give me a massage?"

She rolled her eyes, seemingly having never considered the option, and left. Before even closing the door, she turned back, clearly intending to shower there as well.

Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips, took out her phone to record her diary, and suddenly remembered something. She sent a message to Chen Xingzhu: "Did you guys order an extra down jacket?"

Chen Xingzhu replied after a while: "No."

Judging from the brief reply, Xiao Nizi is most likely being "tortured" by Chen Xingruo and Song Zhiyu. Xu Jinhuan really wants to save her, but unfortunately, he is unlikely to be understood in the past. Therefore, he replied: "I will go and ask for another one, two for each room. You don't have enough."

He went to the front desk and asked for another down jacket. After returning home, he washed up and tidied himself up for a while, then lay on the bed playing on his phone, trying to fall asleep.

Song Zhiyu was doing something next door. Xu Jinhuan had already turned off the lights and was getting ready to sleep when she came back. Even though the lights were off, she still asked, "Brother, are you asleep?"

Xu Jinhuan said irritably, "Going to sleep."

Using her phone as a light, Song Zhiyu climbed onto her bed and lay down. Xu Jinhuan, still half asleep but hearing the noise, asked, "Didn't you brush your teeth?"

"I've already washed up over there."

Song Zhiyu turned off the flashlight, lay down, and said, "I'm lying down too, let's go to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan mumbled an "Mmm," drifting off to sleep. She didn't know how much time had passed before she fell asleep, when she heard her mother ask, "Did you set your alarm?"

"It's booked."

Xu Jinhuan, slightly annoyed by her morning grumpiness, said irritably, "Go to sleep now."

"Oh."

In the darkness, Song Zhiyu responded and then fell silent.

Xu Jinhuan drifted off to sleep again, but before he was fully asleep, he heard her say, "Brother, are you asleep?"

Xu Jinhuan ignored her and continued sleeping.

"elder brother?"

Suddenly, a foot reached out from the side, groping in the darkness until it touched his waist, then gently kicked him. "Brother?"

"..."

There was a meter between the two beds, and Xu Jinhuan couldn't tell how she had stretched her legs out. Unable to sleep any longer, she said helplessly, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to sleep?"

"..."

After a moment of silence in the darkness, Song Zhiyu's voice rang out again, sounding somewhat aggrieved, as if she were about to cry: "Do you really hate me?"

What is this all about?

Xu Jinhuan was a little annoyed. He got up and sat up. He saw a shadow in the darkness scurry into the blankets from the bed next to him. It looked like it was kneeling and crawling under the blankets. Then a small head popped out and cautiously looked at him.

Xu Jinhuan's eyes adjusted to the darkness, and in the dim light, he could vaguely glimpse her bright, sparkling eyes, blinking rapidly, as she repeated, "Do you really hate me?"

"what are you thinking?"

Xu Jinhuan felt a little helpless, thinking that she was acting strangely tonight. "When did you become so sentimental? Do I look like I dislike you?"

Song Zhiyu paused for a moment before asking, "Then why did you treat me like this?"

"You mean my attitude just now?"

Xu Jinhuan shook off some of her sleepiness and said helplessly, "I just want to sleep... Besides, my attitude just now was better than your usual attitude towards me, right?"

"Have it?"

Song Zhiyu seemed taken aback for a moment, "Have I been bad to you usually?"

"Okay, he's always being sarcastic and sarcastic, always cursing me or belittling me. He hardly ever says anything nice to me."

Xu Jinhuan pouted, "Of course, I'm used to it. What sister in the world doesn't deserve a beating? You'll get used to it."

"..."

Song Zhiyu remained silent for several seconds before whispering, "I didn't think that way... I'll change in the future."

"It's fine, whatever you want."

Xu Jinhuan yawned. "Are you done talking? Can you go to sleep now?"

"still have a question."

Song Zhiyu seemed to be hesitating, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "After you finish asking, you can go to sleep."

"Then hurry up and ask."

Xu Jinhuan lay back down, found a comfortable position, pulled the blanket over himself, yawned, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep. "I need to go to sleep quickly after asking the questions; I have to get up before four o'clock tomorrow..."

"..."

In the stillness of the night, on the main peak of Huangshan Mountain, nearly two thousand meters above sea level, in the room atop Bright Summit where the six major sects besieged the Ming Cult and Zhang Wuji showed off in the novel, after a brief silence, Song Zhiyu's tender and sweet voice rippled like water as she softly asked, "Do you like me?"
