Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 223 [222] Zhizhi's Plans (Third Update)

However, Xu Jinhuan could only make a judgment based on his memory; he had no way to confirm it, let alone have any evidence.

Even if you took photos back then to compare, it wouldn't make any sense, because today's mobile phones simply cannot accurately record lipstick colors, and it will be just as difficult more than ten years later.

After putting the lipstick back in its place, Xu Jinhuan quietly left Song Zhiyu's room. After closing the door, she felt something was wrong.

Where's the cat?

After calling out twice, they soon heard Xiao Guai scratching at the door from Song Zhiyu's room. They quickly picked it up and closed the door.

Xiao Guai's water, food, and cat litter are usually kept in Song Zhiyu's room. This time, she put them in the living room while she was on vacation. They haven't been put back in her room yet, otherwise Song Zhiyu wouldn't have closed the door.

"Ok?"

Xu Jinhuan suddenly noticed a detail: Song Zhiyu usually didn't close the door, so why did she suddenly close it this time? Did it mean she felt guilty?

He went to the bathroom mirror, first washed off the other tube of lipstick, then smeared the lipstick, which appeared to be the tool used in the crime, on his lips and observed himself in the mirror.

It looks even more like it...

After observing for a long time, Xu Jinhuan sighed, washed off the lipstick, washed his face, and returned to his room to tinker with the game.

There's a bug in the Android version of Flappy Bird that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed."

Not long after, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside. Then Song Zhiyu told her mother and called Xiao Guai as she approached.

She quickly appeared at the door with the cat in her arms and said sweetly, "Brother, I'm going to take a nap. If Mom needs... or if Aunt needs help, you can go and assist her."

She accidentally called him by the wrong name, and her innocent and sweet face turned bright red. She quickly picked up her little darling and ran away.

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan didn't even have time to laugh at her before she ran away. He could only laugh and go to the kitchen to find his mother and ask, "Mom, did you hear that just now?"

Song Xiaohui asked, "What did you hear?"

"Zhizhi just called you 'Mom'."

Xu Jinhuan was still laughing, "I wasn't even planning to make fun of her, she just ran away first..."

"If you call me 'Mom,' then so be it."

Song Xiaohui remained very calm, seemingly not taking it seriously at all. "Let her shout whatever she wants..."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan thought about it and realized it had nothing to do with her. Neither the person calling her "Mom" nor the person being called "Mom" had any objections, so why should she object?
"Ok?"

Inside the room, Song Zhiyu was lying on the bed with Xiao Guai in her arms when she suddenly realized that the litter box was not in the room. So she went over and opened the door that she had just closed to prevent Xiao Guai from pooping in her room.

She returned to bed, and suddenly her gaze fell on the shelf on the table where skincare products were displayed. She keenly sensed that something was amiss.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly got up, went to the table, and carefully bent down to examine the backpack.

The strand of hair she had deliberately placed at the opening of her backpack before leaving home is gone...

This shows that…

Song Zhiyu gently bit her lip, and a blush slowly spread across her fair and delicate cheeks.

This means he has doubts and is looking for evidence.

'In other words, he did see the lipstick; he didn't just wash it off without noticing...'

When she woke up yesterday morning, she seemed groggy, but she had actually been secretly observing him and noticed that he wasn't wearing lipstick. She had been feeling uneasy ever since, wondering if he had actually seen the lipstick.

If he hadn't found the lipstick, he would likely have thought that what happened that night was just a dream.

It's like all the plans I made along the way failed.

It's like when you finally manage to ask that question, but he asks you a question in return, and you immediately back down and try to make amends.

'fine……'

This time it wasn't in vain; he understood.

In this way, even if he is not sure what the situation is, he won't be as clueless as before, right?
I almost wrote the answers down for him.

As noon approached in summer, in a bright room even without direct sunlight, a young girl, wrapped in a blanket, lay on her side in bed. In the cool air from the air conditioner, she stared blankly at the kitten lying beside her, extending a finger as if to poke its mouth.

But she pulled her finger back halfway through, and slowly leaned closer, bringing her cherry lips, which were still red and alluring even without lipstick, close to Xiao Guai's head.

"boom"

Little Guai slapped her face with its paw, then jumped off the bed, refusing to sleep with this bad woman who wanted to kiss it again.

"bang bang"

Xu Jinhuan had just told his mother about Chen Xingzhu giving him money when he heard a knock at the door. He went to open it and saw Xie Wanqing standing there gracefully in a lotus-root-colored dress. After a brief eye contact, Xie Wanqing shyly looked away and entered, asking gently, "Is Auntie home?"

"Yes, what do you want with her?"

"Help me cook."

Xie Wanqing went straight to the kitchen, "There are so many of us, it's too tiring for Auntie to cook all by herself..."

"My sister is so kind."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "I wonder when Zhizhi will become so sensible..."

As he spoke, he noticed that Song Zhiyu's door was not closed, and he quickly lowered his voice to avoid getting himself into trouble.

This isn't cowardice; it's simply a wise person avoiding dangerous situations.

Xie Wanqing seemed to get along quite well with her mother. Xu Jinhuan chatted with her for a while, and when she realized there was nothing else for her to do, she went back to her room to play games.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door again. Xu Jinhuan went to open it and saw Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo standing outside.

One of them was wearing the same white short-sleeved floral dress, with bright, lively eyes and a distinctly cheerful demeanor; the other was wearing a lake-blue short-sleeved long dress, with gentle, serene eyes and a tranquil air.

Xu Jinhuan didn't investigate who was who. Whether it was Chen Xingzhu or Chen Xingruo, they must have already conspired together.

"Trying to run away?"

Xu Jinhuan led the two into the room and was about to return to his own room when Chen Xingruo, wearing a white floral dress, called out to him, "Aren't you going to verify it? Or explain it?"

"Take a look, take a closer look."

Xu Jinhuan ignored Chen Xingruo and smiled at Chen Xingzhu, "This is Chen Xingruo's personality, taking the initiative. If you're just pretending, you'll have to learn the essence."

Chen Xingzhu retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was her who just arrived."

"It's okay, if he doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it, it's not important."

Chen Xingruo snorted, "I'm going to tell Auntie..."

The two sisters were indeed hard to tell apart, and neither seemed to be faking it. Xu Jinhuan was also a little unsure, but she wouldn't back down, so she pouted and said, "You don't know anything, what are you complaining about?"

If the person she just held hands with was Chen Xingzhu, given her personality, she most likely wouldn't have told Chen Xingruo.

If the person I just held hands with was Chen Xingruo, then I might as well complain. After all, no one would suspect that I had designs on her.

The probability is even lower than that of Song Zhiyu.

Do you need the car this afternoon?

During lunch, Xie Wanqing suddenly asked Xu Jinhuan, "If you don't need it, I'm going home."

"Need not."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head and replied, "Your parents are calling you home?"

"Why are you talking as if it's your car?"

Chen Xingruo couldn't help but complain to him, "When Sister Wanqing asked you a question, you answered so naturally."

Xu Jinhuan really wanted to say, "Who are you to object, you monster?", but this was her sister-in-law, and in front of her sister, so she had to pretend she didn't hear.

"My parents didn't call me home,"

Xie Wanqing explained with a smile, "I just haven't been back for a while, so I'm going back to check on them so they won't worry."

Clearly, after being away from home for so long, especially after this trip and even a good cry, she had vented her emotions and was no longer so angry, so she started to soften again.

Xu Jinhuan did not stop her, nor could she stop her. Even if Xie Wanqing had not suffered the same kind of harm as Chen Xingzhu during her growth, given her personality, she could not have been as decisive as Chen Xingzhu.

Moreover, even Chen Xingzhu is not as decisive and indifferent as she seems.

"Sister, come here for a second."

After lunch, the girls discussed photos and edited videos with Song Xiaohui. Xu Jinhuan waited until they finished talking before sending a message to Xie Wanqing.

"what happened?"

Xie Wanqing quickly arrived at Xu Jinhuan's room, looking slightly puzzled, and perhaps a little shy and nervous. "Is something the matter?"

Xu Jinhuan was speechless at her reaction, wondering what she was thinking. Her mother, Song Zhiyu, Chen Xingzhu, and Chen Xingruo were all in the living room. What could she possibly do to her?

He took a paper bag from the very back of the drawer, handed it to Xie Wanqing, and said with a smile, "Sister, take this."

Xie Wanqing took it, squeezed it, and felt that it contained books or money, becoming increasingly puzzled: "What is this?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't explain, but said in a manner reminiscent of Zhuge Liang arranging his troops: "If everything goes smoothly when my sister goes home today, then don't worry about it; if my uncle and aunt mention money or anything like that, then just leave this to them."
