Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 218 [217] Applying Lipstick

This……

what's the situation?
Xu Jinhuan strongly doubted that she was still dreaming. Otherwise, if she had a dream and was kissed, how could she possibly have a lipstick mark on her lips?

A belated golden finger?

Xu Jinhuan still had the mind to speculate wildly, 'For example, if I dream about something, it can be reflected into reality. That way, if I dream of winning a billion-dollar lottery, I can just project a few hundred million into reality...'

After washing her face, the cold water helped her sober up a bit. Xu Jinhuan finally confirmed that this wasn't a dream, but fearing it was just her eyes playing tricks on her, she looked at herself carefully in the mirror again, then dabbed her lips with her finger.

That's right, it's lipstick!
It's not a lip balm to prevent chapped lips, it's a lipstick for makeup.

He licked his lips, vaguely sensing a sweet fragrance, and couldn't help but look suspiciously at the bed through the wall.

Song Zhiyu?
She doesn't usually wear lipstick!
In other words, even in the most extreme scenario, if she were dreaming or sleepwalking and suddenly came over and kissed me in the middle of the night, there wouldn't be any lipstick mark left...

Unless you specifically apply lipstick before kissing.

But what's the point of all this?
Are you afraid you won't know you've been kissed?
I was afraid that I would wake up and mistake it for a dream.
So, I'm keeping some evidence so I know for sure it wasn't a dream... But what's the point?
Xu Jinhuan was completely baffled; this was utterly illogical.

Isn't it her?
There were only the two of them in the room. If she wasn't his biological daughter, could it be Xiaoqian?
Or kiss yourself...

Xu Jinhuan washed off her lipstick, then turned off the light, came out of the bathroom, turned on her phone's flashlight, and peeked at the door. She saw that it was locked from the inside, and the door chain was fastened.

This must have been done by Song Zhiyu when she came back last night. It's very secure and safe, indicating that no one else came into the room after she returned last night.

If we eliminate all other options, then there's only one possibility left, no matter how improbable it may seem...

Xu Jinhuan, feeling dizzy, sat down by the bedside and saw that Song Zhiyu was still fast asleep in bed, which made him question his life.

I never noticed before that he only had a sleepwalking problem?
Or is it that I am actually dreaming?
Xu Jinhuan lay down again, but this time he really couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep again.

Before she could fall asleep, Xu Jinhuan heard her phone alarm ring. She opened her eyes, turned off the alarm, and sat up to look at Song Zhiyu on the next bed.

The room was still dimly lit, and you could vaguely see her lying on her back asleep. She had clearly heard the alarm clock, and she slightly raised her head to look over. She made a soft, indistinct "hmm" sound to express her question, but before the sound faded, she sank back into the pillow and continued to sleep.

"Get up!"

Xu Jinhuan called out and reached out to turn on the light, illuminating the room. At the same time, he looked towards Song Zhiyu's bed.

The temperature on the mountaintop had dropped by night. The air conditioner was still on, but it wasn't blowing warm air. Song Zhiyu wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, her long black hair spread out on the pillow, highlighting her pure and sweet face, which was fair and delicate. She was fast asleep.

Her mouth was small and delicate, with cherry lips in the traditional aesthetic. Her lips were pink and tender, but there was no trace of lipstick on them.

"Um--"

The light was blinding, and Song Zhiyu instinctively raised her arm to shield her eyes. She then turned her head away, making a muffled sound similar to before, and opened her eyes with difficulty, asking him, "What time is it?"

"It's four o'clock, time to get up."

Xu Jinhuan got up, picked up his coat, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom to change. You can change on the bed; it's a bit cold. Call me when you're done."

"..."

Song Zhiyu was still not awake and did not answer. Xu Jinhuan took the clothes into the bathroom and called out as she changed, "Are you awake? Don't sleep!"

"Hmm~ I'm not asleep..."

Song Zhiyu responded from outside, "Why is it so cold?"

"It's cold at the top of the mountain, of course it's cold."

Xu Jinhuan answered from inside the bathroom, "There's a down jacket in the closet, put it on before you go out..."

"Ok!"

Song Zhiyu agreed from outside.

Seeing that he was awake, Xu Jinhuan called Chen Xingzhu while washing up. The call rang twice and was quickly answered. Chen Xingzhu said "hello" sleepily.

Xu Jinhuan: "Are you up?"

"Yes, I'm changing clothes."

Xu Jinhuan suppressed the images that instinctively surfaced in her mind and said, "Remember to put on your clothes, and tell your older sister and younger sister."

"Ah."

"Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jinhuan called her father again to give him a reminder. After washing up, she called out, "Have you changed your clothes yet?"

"Ah."

When Xu Jinhuan came out of the bathroom, he saw that Song Zhiyu had already put on her down jacket and was putting her things into her bag. She still looked sleepy when she looked over, as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

"We'll get ready after we get back from watching the sunrise. You go wash up first."

"Ah."

Song Zhiyu nodded, went to the bathroom to wash up, took a few steps, then stopped, looked at her yellow down jacket with the hotel logo on it in the mirror, and turned to Xu Jinhuan angrily to complain, "This down jacket is so ugly!"

"The clothes are indeed a bit ugly."

Xu Jinhuan nodded in agreement, then added with a smile, "Luckily, this one is quite fortunate. Wearing it on you instantly enhances its appearance. After all, clothes make the man."

Song Zhiyu smiled, seemingly pleased with his flattery. She looked in the mirror again before turning and going into the bathroom to wash up.

Xu Jinhuan tidied up quickly, then opened the door to find her father, also dressed and ready, coming out of the room. "Just bring your phone and room key."

Xu Jinhuan reminded her mother in the hallway, then knocked on the door of the next room. Soon she heard Xie Wanqing's voice: "Coming!"

Then the door opened, and Xie Wanqing, wrapped in a down jacket and with her hair down, stood in the doorway. She met his gaze, then looked away shyly, saying, "Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "No rush, you don't need to take the bag. You can come back after breakfast."

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded. Xu Jinhuan and her father waited in the corridor for a while and heard voices coming from inside and outside the hotel. It seemed that many people were waiting to watch the sunrise.

Chen Xingzhu quickly came out of the room, and Xu Jinhuan looked her up and down and clicked his tongue twice.

Chen Xingzhu gave him a questioning look.

"I finally understand what temperament is."

Xu Jinhuan exclaimed, "This down jacket is so ugly, yet you manage to look elegant and refined on it. Amazing!"

Chen Xingzhu could tell he was praising her, and gave him a shy, reproachful look. When she saw Song Xiaohui come out, she smiled and greeted her.

"What about us?"

Chen Xingruo came out of the room, looked at him and smiled, "Praise me in a different way too."

Xie Wanqing followed behind her and took the room key, her charming bright eyes also staring at him.

"When you're not talking, you're just like your sister."

Xu Jinhuan gave a perfunctory reply, then smiled and said, "My sister is gentle and beautiful, and my mother is kind and gentle..."

He was about to stop there, but hearing noises coming from his and Song Zhiyu's room, he raised his voice and added, "She's just pure, sweet, obedient, and cute."

"How perfunctory."

Chen Xingruo snorted in dissatisfaction, "What if I say something?"

"That's what liveliness is all about, just as adorable."

Xu Jinhuan gave another perfunctory reply, and seeing Song Zhiyu come out of the room, he urged, "Let's go, let's go out and watch the sunrise."

As the group walked out of the hotel, the receptionist kindly gave them directions, but it was completely unnecessary, as the best viewing spot was right outside the door.

"so many people?"

It was still pitch black outside, and dawn hadn't broken yet, but the viewing area next to it was already packed with people, and some were even climbing up from below.

Xu Jinhuan checked the time; it was only 4:10.

There are empty seats over there.

Xu Jinhuan noticed someone climbing onto the rocks next to him. He looked closely and then led them up. They found a small empty space under a tree and squeezed together to sit down.

Several girls were taking photos and videos with their phones. Song Xiaohui was also filming. Although her parents were tired from the trip, they were clearly happier than Xu Jinhuan and the others, or rather, they cherished the experience. Her mother's phone was always in her hand the whole way, recording everything. Not to mention her phone, even her power bank was completely drained.

Fortunately, photos and videos don't take up much space these days, otherwise 16GB of storage wouldn't be enough.

"The weather is nice, I wonder if there's a sea of ​​clouds..."

The sunrise was expected at 5:15. Xu Jinhuan and his group were lucky enough to catch the sea of ​​clouds. After waiting for nearly half an hour, light gradually appeared in the clouds on the horizon. Amidst the commotion of the crowd, the light gradually stained the clouds, weaving a magnificent glow in the eastern sky that changed from orange to gold and from dark to bright.

As time passed, the sea of ​​clouds surged and flowed, and a red sun rose slowly, suddenly leaping out and transforming into a blazing sun, illuminating the land of China.

"So beautiful!"

Song Zhiyu muttered to herself, taking photos with her phone, trying to find the right angle. The group had just divided up the tasks, and she was in charge of taking pictures of the sunrise.

"Ok!"

Chen Xingruo was in charge of recording the sunrise video and was focused on her work, barely making a sound, for fear of affecting the video quality.

Xie Wanqing was in charge of recording portrait videos. She turned her phone around and filmed Xu Jinhuan and their reactions.

Chen Xingzhu was in charge of taking photos for people. She turned to look at Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui, looking for the right angle to take photos of them at sunrise, and then looked at Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and made a heart shape with her hands.

As the sky brightened, the crowd watching the sunrise gradually dispersed, and people looked for rocks and trees to take pictures. Xu Jinhuan also took many photos for his parents and Chen Xingzhu.

Are you hungry?

Seeing that they were still very enthusiastic and seemed to want to keep taking pictures, Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to remind them, "Why don't we go eat first, and then we can continue to play after we eat? Flying Stone, Monkey Watching the Sea... there are still many attractions in the back mountain that we haven't visited yet."

"Let's go eat."

It was already 6:30. Two and a half hours had passed since they got up, and the girls were all hungry, so they obediently followed them to the restaurant for dinner.

"Then let's not sleep, let's sleep in the car when we get back."

After everyone took their things and found a place to sit down and eat, Xu Jinhuan waited for their excitement about discussing the photos and videos to cool down a bit before saying, "After we finish eating, we'll go back and pack up, and then we'll set off again."

No one objected. Xu Jinhuan looked at the girls and casually smiled, "It's the last day. Do you want to put on some makeup, or at least some lipstick? It'll make you look healthier in the photos."
