Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan immediately let go, looking at her suspiciously. "Are you Chen Xingruo?"

"It's a good thing it was me who came this time. If it were my sister, she would definitely have been fooled by you!"

The girl in front of him, whose identity was unclear—whether she was the older or younger sister—snorted. Seeing him let go, she didn't answer and walked straight to the door.

"and many more!"

Xu Jinhuan sensed something was amiss, took two steps forward, and exclaimed, "Ha! I almost fell for your trick... You're Xingzhu, right?"

If it were Chen Xingruo, having caught someone in her weakness, why would she be in such a hurry to leave?
Moreover, why would Xiao Guai be so close to Chen Xingruo?
I might mistake someone for someone else, but Xiao Guai won't!

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Xingzhu turned around, looked at him expressionlessly, and warned, "I'm not as weak as my sister. I'm trained. I can kick you away with one kick!"

"Stop pretending."

Xu Jinhuan deliberately bluffed, then smiled helplessly, "I didn't mean anything by it. Just sit for a while, let's chat, okay? There have been too many people these past few days, I haven't had a proper conversation with you..."

"Okay."

Chen Xingzhu smiled brightly at him and said, "I'll go ask my sister if she'd like to chat with you."

She turned her head, opened the door, and left.

Xu Jinhuan had no idea who she was, and he couldn't make a move, so he could only watch her push the door open and leave.

"Hey!"

He suddenly realized what was happening, quickly returned to the sofa, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Chen Xingzhu while going back to the door.

Unfortunately, even after hearing the sound of a door opening and closing upstairs, Chen Xingzhu's phone didn't ring.

Is it really Chen Xingruo?
Or was it because she was on guard and silenced her phone?

Or... the delayed notification feature that Apple's version of WeChat consistently delivers?

"Sis, you're back?"

Chen Xingzhu returned to her room upstairs, where Chen Xingruo was chatting with Xie Wanqing on the sofa. Seeing her return, Chen Xingruo asked curiously, "Did he accept it?"

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment, and Xie Wanqing immediately understood that it was because she was there. She smiled and said, "Xingruo just told me, but we didn't each spend 1500, right?"

Seeing that she already knew, Chen Xingzhu told the truth: "He only accepted one thousand."

"Okay, then I'll give him a thousand later too."

Xie Wanqing had her own little savings, so she didn't mind. "I'll withdraw the money tomorrow and give it to him."

Xu Jinhuan paid her 1500 yuan salary on the 15th, which was enough for her to pay, but she felt it was strange to return the money to him since it was given to her by Xu Jinhuan. She decided to withdraw her own money from the bank to give it to him.

After chatting for a while, Xie Wanqing went back to her room to sleep. Chen Xingruo hadn't slept well in the car last night either and was also sleepy, so she also went back to her room to sleep.

"Ruoruo,"

Chen Xingzhu followed her back to the room, closed the door, and then said to her younger sister who was lying on the bed, "I have something to tell you, but don't let it slip."

Chen Xingruo lay on the bed, turning her face, which was exactly the same as her sister's, but feigning a drowsy and sleepy look, as if she would fall asleep if startled: "Huh?"

"I was just pretending to be you to scare Xu Jinhuan,"

Chen Xingzhu was too embarrassed to mention that Xu Jinhuan had touched her inappropriately, so she covered it up, saying, "You have to pretend it really was you just now, don't let him know."

"Scare him?"

Chen Xingruo blinked, "You think you can scare him by pretending it's me?"

She stopped pretending to be asleep and looked at her sister suspiciously: "Did he try to touch you inappropriately, so you pretended to be me?"

Before her sister could answer, she sat up excitedly and asked, "What was his reaction? Was he really scared?"

"No physical contact was made."

Chen Xingzhu denied it somewhat shyly, "I just suddenly wanted to scare him a little..."

"impossible."

Chen Xingruo didn't believe it at all. "He must have done something!"

She crawled a few steps on the bed with her legs, grabbed her sister's arm and pleaded, "Oh, you know, I won't laugh at you. After all, we look alike. If I lay a hand on you, it would be the same as touching me... uh," she said, then realized something was wrong and quickly added, "What I mean is, we sisters are of one mind. I won't laugh at you."

"I already said no."

Chen Xingzhu shook off her sister's hand, lay down on the bed, and changed the subject, saying, "The main problem is that my acting isn't very good. He seems to have seen through my act and doesn't believe I'm you. I'm afraid he'll test me later, so we need to agree on something..."

"Okay, I definitely won't give myself away."

Chen Xingruo thought for a moment and readily agreed, "It's fine if he's suspicious, the point is to make him suspicious, but not sure who it is... Hehehe! That's what makes it fun..."

She was intrigued when she thought about how Xu Jinhuan couldn't tell her apart from her sister. The two sisters used to pretend to be each other when they were little, and she loved playing this game more back then, and she still enjoys it now.

Unfortunately, there aren't many people who can perform like this nowadays. Mainly because Chen Xingzhu is unlikely to cooperate easily, and it's not fun to tease others, so only Xu Jinhuan is left.

"Sis, how about we just keep pretending to be each other next time?"

She suggested, "When we were in Huangshan, I was thinking, let's switch identities for a day and see if they can tell... Anyway, we're both on vacation recently, so how about we pretend for a few days?"

"not good!"

Chen Xingzhu didn't want to play this game with her sister. Just like in Huangshan, it was a good thing she didn't agree to her absurd idea, otherwise Xu Jinhuan would have been taking pictures with Xingruo's hand when they arrived at Feilai Shiwuhai.

How is this possible?

"It's so much fun!"

Seeing that her sister refused, Chen Xingruo was a little disappointed, then she started gossiping again, "What exactly did you two do just now? You have to tell me carefully, otherwise what if I let something slip? That guy is pretty smart, he'll find out if you're not careful..."

"I've already told you everything."

Chen Xingzhu still refused to tell her sister.
-
"Sweetie, remember to remind me if you hear any noise!"

Downstairs, Xu Jinhuan didn't receive a reply from Chen Xingzhu, nor did she continue to ponder whether it was Chen Xingzhu or Chen Xingruo. In any case, Chen Xingruo would only stay for a few days before leaving, so it didn't matter if she admitted her mistake.

Besides, it's not an important matter. Even if I admit I was wrong, it's not a big deal. It's not like it's a wedding ceremony or the wedding night.

He then thought of another important thing:
Did Song Zhiyu bring any lipstick with her when she went to Huangshan?!
Song Zhiyu had just finished showering when she went grocery shopping with her mother. She didn't wash or air out her underwear from the past few days, which means that the bag she took with her might not have been touched either.

Now, all I have to do is sneak into her room, rummage through her bag, and see if she's secretly carrying lipstick. That way, I can find out if she was the one who committed the crime that night.

If she has lipstick in her bag, it's almost certain it's her.

'Hopefully not...'

Xu Jinhuan gave Xiao Guai some instructions, then sighed in his heart before opening Song Zhiyu's door and quietly slipping inside.

Upon entering, Xu Jinhuan saw Song Zhiyu's backpack on the table. He was very cautious and did not touch the bag, leaving it in place before carefully opening the zipper.

"Well……"

The first thing that caught his eye was a light pink bra, the very one he had seen by chance that morning on the day he set off.

Xu Jinhuan carefully examined the interior of the backpack, then pushed the bra aside with her hand, revealing two more bras underneath, one milky white and one pinkish-blue, along with a pair of light blue panties that gave off a delicate pinkish feel...

They all look somewhat familiar.

After clearing everything away, Xu Jinhuan finally discovered that the hidden compartment was full of underwear, which made her feel a little embarrassed. So she moved to another hidden compartment and found a power bank, earphones, keys and other odds and ends.

He opened the other pockets in the backpack and looked inside, but there were no traces of lipstick.

'Not her?'

Xu Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief, but was even more puzzled.

Just like the confusion I felt when I discovered the lipstick early yesterday morning, if it wasn't her, who else could it be?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Jinhuan looked at the shelf on the table. There were many bottles and jars on it, including skin care products, sunscreens, and a few tubes of something that she couldn't tell if they were lip balms or lipsticks.

If Song Zhiyu takes the lipstick out of her bag as soon as she gets home, she will definitely have enough time.

Xu Jinhuan hesitated briefly, then took the tubes that looked like lipsticks, opened them one by one, and found that two of them were indeed lipsticks.

He put the lip balm back in its place, opened the two lipstick tubes, and applied a small amount to the back of his hand like a girl would when trying on colors.

Like most boys, Xu Jinhuan is not sensitive to lipstick colors, but he does have basic color recognition ability.

After applying both lipsticks to the back of his hand, he examined them carefully and quickly realized that one of the lipsticks was very similar in color to the one he had worn the day before.

And the more you look at it, the more it resembles it! (End of Chapter)
