Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 227 [226] Fighting for Immortality (Third Update)

"Hahaha!"

When the two arrived at Xu Jinhuan's house, they heard Chen Xingruo's happy laughter coming from inside.
—Although the two sisters have the same voice, only Chen Xingruo has ever made this kind of laughter. It is unknown whether Chen Xingzhu could imitate it if she wanted to impersonate her sister.

Pushing open the door, I saw Chen Xingzhu, Chen Xingruo, and Song Zhiyu playing cards with their parents around the coffee table, each of them with some notes stuck to their faces.

"Still playing?"

Xu Jinhuan said with amusement, "Dad, you lost too?"

"I... made a mistake."

Xu Haiguang also had several notes stuck to his face. He coughed and asked, "Wanqing is back too?"

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded, greeted Song Xiaohui, and walked over. Song Zhiyu said, "Sister Wanqing, can you play for me for a bit? I'm going to the restroom."

She was sitting barefoot on the sofa, but after she finished speaking, she ran away in her slippers.

Chen Xingzhu also had two notes stuck to her forehead. Seeing Xu Jinhuan staring at her, she asked him a little shyly, "Are you playing?"

"Then I'll play a round."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and took her place. Just after the cards were dealt, Song Zhiyu came back in slippers and sat down next to him with Chen Xingzhu on either side. Then she sniffed him like a puppy.

‘Suffer it! ’

Xu Jinhuan felt a jolt of realization as he noticed the flaw in the plan.

He didn't smell of smoke!
He said he was going to play games when he left home, which implicitly meant he was going to an internet cafe, but if he came back from an internet cafe, he would definitely smell of smoke.

There are usually smokers in the arcade, but today it was raining and there were fewer people, so there was hardly any smoke.

Song Zhiyu smelled him, definitely to confirm whether he was lying and whether he really went to the internet cafe to play games...

After all, she had come back with Xie Wanqing. Although it was said to be a coincidence, they were clearly not so easily convinced.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at Chen Xingzhu again and understood why she had offered to play cards in her place and why she had taken the initiative to sit next to him.

The younger girl was clearly more "insidious." While Song Zhiyu openly smelled the smoke, she didn't show any obvious signs of it.

If Song Zhiyu hadn't suddenly come over and smelled him, he probably wouldn't have known where he slipped up when she suddenly brought up old grudges someday...

Men should be more meticulous!

Xu Jinhuan was secretly on guard, and casually said, "Don't smell it, there's no smoke. There are fewer people because of the rain, and I specifically chose a non-smoking private room just in case you don't like the smell of smoke."

Song Zhiyu didn't know whether she had received the letter or not, so she didn't speak. Chen Xingruo also remained silent.

Song Xiaohui cautioned, "Don't you dare secretly start smoking."

Xu Jinhuan said, "I'd rather smell Xiaoguai's cat litter every day than smoke... I'll go first."

"What? You go first? Are you handsome or...?"

Chen Xingruo was halfway through her sarcasm when she saw him throw a three of hearts on the table, so she had no choice but to change her tune: "Since you're so bad at this game, you can pay up."

After playing cards for a while, Xu Haiguang, who hadn't rested during the day, was the first to leave and go to sleep. Xu Jinhuan and the others played a couple more rounds before dispersing.

"Bro, didn't you post it on WeChat Moments?"

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu went back upstairs. Xu Jinhuan came out after washing up and saw Song Zhiyu bending over to move the cat litter box, so she helped her move it over.

Song Zhiyu then took the water bowl and cat bowl from him and asked curiously, "Don't you want to post this?"

Xu Jinhuan put down the litter box, clapped his hands and said, "No, I was just waiting to copy your copywriting."

"We've already sent them."

"Then I'll go take a look."

Xu Jinhuan took out her phone and, sure enough, saw that the others had all posted on their social media platforms, with identical captions:
Little Huangshan, conquered

The difference is that Song Zhiyu ends with "~"; Chen Xingruo ends with "!"; Xie Wanqing ends with "!!!", which is a super double; while Chen Xingzhu ends with ".".

There are a total of nine pictures, including two group photos and the rest are mostly individual photos of the sisters. Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo also have two more group photos.

Even my parents posted on their WeChat Moments, but their captions were different. My dad posted: "Went to Huangshan." My mom posted: "Traveled to Huangshan with my son, it was beautiful!"
Half of the accompanying photos are landscapes, there's also a photo of the couple, a photo of the three of them, and finally a group photo of seven people, including four girls.

Unfortunately, mobile internet coverage for middle-aged and elderly people is not yet comprehensive and deep enough, so my parents probably don't have many friends in their social circles.

Xu Jinhuan could only see the likes and comments from Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu on WeChat Moments, but QQ Space was much more lively. Song Zhiyu had only been back in China for a few months, yet she already had quite a few likes and comments. Xie Wanqing's side had even more, with twenty or thirty comments alone.

Many people are asking: Are those two who look exactly alike twins?

Song Zhiyu was even more surprised when someone on her side recognized Chen Xingzhu:
"You went to climb Huangshan with Chen Xingzhu?"

"Does Chen Xingzhu have a twin, or is it a younger sister?"

"Could it be a clone?"

……

The quietest spot was actually Chen Xingzhu's own space. She didn't have many friends to begin with, and her space was locked, making it very peaceful.

"You have a lot of friends?"

As Xu Jinhuan liked and commented on their posts, she casually remarked to Song Zhiyu, "So many comments?"

"I only have a few people here, Chen Xingruo has so many more." Song Zhiyu pouted, "If I had known others were adding me as a friend, I would have accepted. There are so few of us..."

"is it?"

Xu Jinhuan subconsciously wanted to check Chen Xingruo's social media profile, only to find that she had no friends with her at all.

"Take mine and look at it."

Song Zhiyu handed her her phone. QQ Space was still a standalone app at the time. She opened it and found Chen Xingruo's posts on QQ Space.

"Fuck!"

Xu Jinhuan glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim. The screen was full of comments under Chen Xingruo's post, and there were at least a hundred comments when he scrolled down.

"Is Sister Ruo out to play again?"

"Which one is Sister Ruo?"

"Does Sister Ruo have an older sister or a younger sister?"

"Twins?"

"Sister Ruo is so beautiful!"

"Sister Ruo, I'm also in Huangshan. Where are you?"

"Who is that guy? How dare he stand next to our Sister Ruo when he's so ugly?"

……

A ton of comments were either praising or asking questions, but Chen Xingruo only replied to the one that slandered Xu Jinhuan's looks: "Get lost!"

Below is the other party's apology: "I'm sorry, Sister Ruo, please apologize to this man on my behalf."

"I didn't realize he knew how to protect me."

Xu Jinhuan was very surprised and felt that he could be a little nicer to his sister-in-law in the future. He said to Song Zhiyu, "Send me her QQ number."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Jinhuan originally thought that Song Zhiyu would refuse or make sarcastic remarks, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily, which made her a little strange.

"I sent it to you."

Song Zhiyu sent the QQ message and blinked her big eyes, asking, "Brother, do you like Sister Xingruo?"

"Pooh!"

Xu Jinhuan almost bit her tongue off. "Don't talk nonsense. I only like Xingzhu."

"whispering sound!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes. "What's the point of confessing to me... If you're so capable, why don't you go confess to Sister Xingzhu?"

"sleep."

Xu Jinhuan didn't say anything more to her and went back to his room to continue updating "Flappy Bird".

"Ding Dong"

Xu Jinhuan's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Chen Xingzhu: "Is something wrong, Sister Wanqing?"

Xu Jinhuan frowned and thought for a moment, wondering what she knew, so she asked in return, "Why do you ask that?"

Chen Xingzhu: "You went out this evening to pick up Sister Wanqing?"

Chen Xingzhu: "She didn't bring her keys, and she didn't get her umbrella back either. She also seemed to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"

Xu Jinhuan: "You're so smart!"

Xu Jinhuan: "You are the epitome of intelligence and wisdom. Even the best praises are not enough to describe you."

Chen Xingzhu ignored his flattery and asked, "What happened?"

"It's the same thing as before, only this time it's gotten much worse."

Xie Wanqing, Chen Xingzhu, and Song Zhiyu all have family problems. Comparatively, Song Zhiyu's family situation is the least serious; Chen Xingzhu's family situation is more complicated; but in essence, Xie Wanqing's family situation is the most disheartening.

Needless to say, regarding Song Zhiyu's side, as for Chen Xingzhu's side, Kong Lingyu's actions are puzzling, infuriating, and even despicable. However, emotionally, it is still evident that Kong Lingyu has feelings for Chen Xingzhu, and she herself possesses the normal emotions a mother has for her daughter.

But it's harder to judge Xie Wanqing's situation.

The very description of this matter as "difficult to judge" speaks volumes.

After Chen Xingzhu moved out, she gradually came to understand many things, but she still had vivid memories of what had happened in the past. She could say that she had a personal understanding of Xie Wanqing's feelings at this moment, so she asked Xu Jinhuan, "Should I go and persuade Sister Wanqing?"

Xu Jinhuan was about to refuse at first, but then she changed her mind and typed, "Sure, you're all girls, so it's easier for you to talk to her and you can help comfort her."

He was initially worried that Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing would have too much contact and cause trouble, but then he thought that since the two lived together, they already had a lot of contact.

Most importantly, Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing have a good relationship, which may pose a danger to me in the short term, but in the long term, it may not be a bad opportunity...

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!

For the sake of future happiness, it's worth a shot!
Even the mighty Nangong Zheng dared to risk becoming an immortal, let alone someone like himself who has been reborn.
