Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 226 [225] Take good care of him
Xie Wanqing did not answer, and Xu Jinhuan did not ask again. He went to the taxi, opened the back door for her to get in, and then followed her into the back seat instead of the front passenger seat.

The driver glanced back at Xie Wanqing, completely understanding Xu Jinhuan's choice, and asked, "Where to?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "Zhongtai Plaza."

Xie Wanqing turned to look at him, and Xu Jinhuan explained with a smile, "I'm taking my sister somewhere."

Xie Wanqing suddenly thought of Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu going to the movies, and remained silent, wondering to herself, 'Is he going to take me to the movies?'

Upon arriving at the square, Xu Jinhuan paid an extra two yuan for the bus fare, then, holding an umbrella, went to the mall with Xie Wanqing.

There weren't many people on the rainy day. Xu Jinhuan led Xie Wanqing all the way to the fourth floor and into an arcade.

"I don't play games."

Seeing Xu Jinhuan take out money to buy coins, Xie Wanqing finally couldn't help but whisper.

"This isn't play, this is work."

Xu Jinhuan said seriously, "Don't ask so many questions now, you'll understand in a moment... Xiao Xie, you must obey the leader's arrangements."

Xie Wanqing glared at him, then said nothing more and followed Xu Jinhuan through the games one by one.

"shhhhhh"

"boom"

The two played a multiplayer game, then moved on to coin pushers, racing games, and then basketball, all in two-player mode.

"Why can't I throw it in?"

Xie Wanqing was a little absent-minded at first, but then she got into the zone, especially when she saw that her shooting score wasn't high enough for the next round, she started to get anxious, "How am I supposed to shoot?"

"I'll teach you in a bit."

After failing to pass this level and the game ending, Xu Jinhuan deliberately kept a basketball in his hand, placed it in her hand, and then guided her hand to correct her posture. "Shoot with one hand, use your wrist strength to push, your arm can drive your wrist..."

Since there was only one basketball, she couldn't shoot it. Xu Jinhuan tried to explain the movements in detail, "You can try it first. If you can't shoot accurately, then just do it the way you can... Practice makes perfect. Even if you can score while holding a chamber pot, that's good!"

Xie Wanqing didn't know what "carrying a chamber pot" meant, and looked at him in confusion. Xu Jinhuan then gestured to her, "Like this..."

Xie Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle at his basketball shooting motion, which resembled carrying a chamber pot. She pursed her lips and said, "One more time."

"it is good."

The two played several more rounds, shooting hoops until they were covered in sweat. Xie Wanqing, who was not in good physical condition to begin with, had just gone out to play for two days and hadn't had a chance to rest yet. She was panting and said, "Let's rest for a bit."

"Take your time, let's try something else."

Xu Jinhuan led her to a corner and finally saw what she was looking for. She smiled and said, "Does this look familiar?"

Xie Wanqing looked at the various fruits on the screen with some surprise: "Fruit Ninja?"

"Yes, that mobile game has also been moved to the arcade."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Could we make an arcade version of our Flappy Bird game someday?"

"It might work."

Xie Wanqing was surprised that he actually came to work. Hearing him keep saying "we" made her feel a little shy, but also sweet inside, and she became even more serious.

She carefully tried out the gameplay of the arcade version of "Fruit Ninja," experiencing the similarities and differences between it and the mobile version. Seeing that there was also "Angry Birds" nearby, she also went over to try it out.

"Flappy Bird is even simpler to play; you only need one button..."

After thinking it over, Xie Wanqing offered her idea to Xu Jinhuan: "Similar to 'Angry Birds,' but simpler..."

"My sister thinks the same way I do."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "But we have to wait until we are more famous. Then we won't have to do anything; we can just sell licenses."

"Ok!"

Xie Wanqing nodded and said, "You should participate in that innovation competition next month, and it would be best if you could win an award... What did you say you were going to prepare? Let's start preparing as soon as possible."

"It's mainly about layout."

Seeing that she was gradually shaking off her low and confused mood, Xu Jinhuan smiled and assigned her a task, "The most urgent thing is to finalize the data to be prepared for the exhibition. The specific data will definitely be updated on the same day, but which data and how to display it need to be decided in advance..."

"Uh-huh!"

Xie Wanqing began to ponder these things and said, "Let's stop playing and go back."

“Okay.” Xu Jinhuan checked the time; it was almost eight o’clock. So they returned the remaining coins and left together with Xie Wanqing.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'd like to buy some food."

When Xu Jinhuan left home, his family hadn't cooked dinner yet, but they must have already finished eating. He saw an advertisement for braised meat rolls in the mall, so he bought two.

"It's delicious, sister, have a taste."

Xu Jinhuan enthusiastically promoted the product to Xie Wanqing, saying, "Just try it, you don't have to finish it, I'll eat the rest."

Xie Wanqing blushed a little, but didn't refuse again. She took a bite, nodded, and said, "It's really delicious."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Want another bite?"

Xie Wanqing took another bite, then shook her head and mumbled, "I'm not eating anymore, you eat it."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan then asked her to hold the umbrella while he took two meat rolls in each hand and ate them alternately, taking a bite of one and then a bite of the other.

Xie Wanqing pretended not to see it.

The rain had stopped outside. She opened her arms, breathed in the fresh air after the rain, and smiled, letting out a soft "whoosh," and said, "How refreshing!"

"Mmm, it feels very comfortable."

Seeing her rarely happy smile, Xu Jinhuan smiled too. Just as he was about to hail a taxi, Xie Wanqing said, "Let's take the bus back. I want to take it."

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan felt that Xie Wanqing was acting strangely tonight—it was understandable that she would act strangely after arguing with her family, but Xie Wanqing's strangeness was a bit odd.

The way she speaks now inexplicably gives off a coquettish feeling, somewhat like Song Zhiyu has possessed her.

—Because Song Zhiyu's condition is unstable, this specifically refers to Song Zhiyu in a docile state.

In the past, she always felt that she was the older sister and had to take care of others. Even when she needed Xu Jinhuan's help while climbing mountains, her attitude was somewhat awkward and not as natural and casual as it is now.

It seems like they no longer care about age or sibling status; they're simply two genuine people getting along.

To be honest, she's not that old; she's just a junior in college. To a high school student, she's an older sister, but in the real world, she's just an innocent young girl.

In Xu Jinhuan's eyes, she simultaneously possesses two identities.

This is something that neither Chen Xingzhu nor Song Zhiyu possessed.

The two boarded the bus together. There was an empty seat, and Xu Jinhuan gestured for Xie Wanqing to sit down while he stood next to her.

Xie Wanqing did not refuse. After sitting down, she quietly looked out the window as the car moved forward. Occasionally, she would look up at him, sometimes making eye contact with him, sometimes not. When she looked out the window again, a warm and peaceful smile would unconsciously appear on her lips.

"thank you."

After getting out of the car, Xie Wanqing casually swung her arm as she walked towards the entrance of the residential area. She turned to Xu Jinhuan and smiled, "Thank you for giving me the courage to resist, thank you for giving me the determination to fight back, and thank you for being with me."

"Just saying thank you isn't enough."

Xu Jinhuan looked at her and smiled, "Don't just talk, let's show our gratitude with some actions."

Xie Wanqing's face flushed red. She avoided his gaze and looked ahead, asking, "Wh...how should I thank you?"

“My dad goes to work, and my mom has to stay home to take care of Xingzhu and Zhizhi, who are two little ones. I’m going to participate in a competition next month, can my sister come with me?”

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I've checked. A maximum of two people can accompany a participant. Just register in advance."

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then it's settled."

Xu Jinhuan said with a bright smile, "Please ask Assistant Xie to make proper arrangements for the trip."

Xie Wanqing ignored his teasing, feeling relieved but also slightly disappointed. She then put aside these messy emotions and began to think about participating in the competition next month.

Although Xu Jinhuan took care of me the most last time we went to Huangshan, that was a special case—it was mountain climbing, and I wasn't physically fit enough. But this time it's different; I'm going to participate in a competition, which doesn't require strong physical abilities.

Whether as an assistant or as an older sister, she felt it was necessary to perform well, to regain the face she had lost in Huangshan, and to let him know that she was not only good at crying, but also at taking care of people.

We will definitely take good care of him!
