Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 237 [236] He even kissed her.

The sun rose but not high, obscured by distant buildings, its golden light shining only at the edges of the buildings, illuminating the few trees and flowers in the community.

Xie Wanqing glanced at the elderly men and women returning with their grocery baskets, as well as the uncles or brothers carrying breakfast, and then turned to ask Xu Jinhuan, "Are you just running around here?"

She had planned to run outside, not wanting to run in her own neighborhood to avoid being pointed at and gossiped about by the elderly. However, with Xu Jinhuan beside her, she subconsciously wanted to hear his opinion.

"How about we go to Suihe Park?"

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go by bike, I'll give you a ride."

This bicycle has carried Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu on the back, but it hasn't carried Sister Xie yet. It's flawed, imperfect, and unfair.

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She watched him unlock the car, seem to lift his leg slightly, but then looked unsure how to sit down. "How am I supposed to get in?" she asked.

"Climb up."

Xu Jinhuan, already quite experienced, offered Xie Wanqing a hand, "I'll help you, you can step on these to go up..."

This was nothing compared to climbing a mountain. Xie Wanqing didn't shy away from it and held onto his hand, but because she had no experience and her arms were weak, she still couldn't climb up.

Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to reach out and grab her arm, helping her up. He caught a glimpse of her waistline as she turned to the side, which resembled a full moon rising from the bicycle seat before being obscured. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling a sense of loss.

It's nice to feast your eyes, but looking at it all the time... makes you drool!

"Hold on tight."

Xu Jinhuan pushed his bicycle toward the entrance of the residential area.

Aren't you coming up?

Xie Wanqing waited for a while, and seeing that he still didn't come up, she couldn't help but urge him, "Come on and ride."

Xu Jinhuan said, "No rush, let me warm up and walk a few steps."

"Then why did you ask me to come up here?"

Xie Wanqing felt a little shy, and thought it was strange that he was pushing her on his bicycle.

When she was a child, she saw an old man who loved fishing. He caught a very big fish, tied it to the back of his bicycle, and showed it off by circling the whole street several times.

Now she felt that Xu Jinhuan was the one showing off by pushing the bicycle, while she was the big fish tied to the back of the bicycle...

Fortunately, Xu Jinhuan didn't gloat for long. When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, he got on his bicycle and took her to Suihe Park.

The small town was bustling in the morning. Sunlight shone on the not-so-wide streets and alleys, and the breakfast shops and roadside stalls were filled with the steam and aroma of food. Because it was a holiday, we were finally spared from being run over by the deflated tires of our car as we continued on our way.

This gave Xie Wanqing a brief moment of disorientation. Recalling the short few months they had known each other, she inexplicably had the illusion that their fates were intertwined and that they were heading towards the future together.

The Sui River runs through Suicheng. Although Xu Jinhuan's home is in an old and dilapidated neighborhood, it is in a very good location, very close to the Sui River Park built along the river. It takes less than ten minutes to get there by bicycle.

"Stretch first,"

Upon arriving at the park, the two found a secluded spot. Xu Jinhuan earnestly taught Xie Wanqing how to warm up, openly admiring the beautiful curves she displayed as she did the warm-up exercises. He felt increasingly that his originally pure moral values ​​were being challenged.

The dike of principle seemed unable to withstand the relentless, surging waves of floodwater, after all, Xie Wanqing was far too overwhelming.

Who can bear this?

"Is it okay?"

Xie Wanqing wasn't unaware of his gaze, but she was too embarrassed to point it out, so she could only perform the actions more earnestly and concentrate fully to cover up her embarrassment.

After warming up for quite a while, seeing that Xu Jinhuan still showed no sign of stopping, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you ready to run now?"

"That's enough, let's run."

Xu Jinhuan felt a little guilty, but not embarrassed. He started running with Xie Wanqing around the park. After half a lap plus the river, their watches showed they hadn't even covered two kilometers when Xie Wanqing started to feel the strain and gasped, "I... I need to rest..."

"It's okay, it's the first day, take it slow."

Xu Jinhuan slowed down as well, "Don't stop, walk slowly, walk a little further..."

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded, walked a lap around the park track, and returned to the parking area at the entrance. Finally feeling better, she said, "I'm so tired!"

"Just run it a few more times and you'll get used to it."

Afraid that she would give up, Xu Jinhuan gently encouraged her, "Sweating in the summer is good for your health, it improves your appetite, helps you sleep better, and makes your skin better too."

Xie Wanqing asked with some skepticism, "Will my skin get better too?"

"I said a whole bunch of stuff, and that's all you heard?"

Xu Jinhuan chuckled, but the main point of his entire statement was just this: "Of course it will be good. People who exercise regularly generally have good skin. Their metabolism is vigorous, which helps to flush out the waste products circulating in their bodies..."

He didn't know anything about this; he was just making things up. Anyway, Xie Wanqing's skin was already good, and as long as she paid attention to sun protection, it wouldn't get worse.

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded. She was so tired that she wanted to give up, but hearing this gave her renewed motivation.

She does have great skin and is very confident, but after living with Chen Xingzhu, I saw her skin exposed in her pajamas, which was almost flawless. I was very envious and felt that I still had room for improvement.

“Your dad…” Xu Jinhuan rode her bicycle with Xie Wanqing on the back to the entrance of the residential area. She saw Xu Haiguang carrying a bag of pan-fried buns walking ahead. She quickly poked Xu Jinhuan with her finger, reminding him nervously.

"I saw it."

Xu Jinhuan had no reason to feel guilty and called out loudly, "Dad!"

Xu Haiguang turned around and saw the two approaching. He asked in surprise, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

"I went for a run."

Slowing down, Xie Wanqing tried her best to appear natural, waving and greeting, "Good morning, Uncle!"

"morning."

Xu Haiguang gestured with the bag in his hand, "Zhizhi said she wanted to eat steamed buns, so I went and bought some. We'll eat them together later."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Wanqing nodded obediently.

"We're leaving first."

Xu Jinhuan didn't wait for his father. As he spoke, he drove Xie Wanqing past his father and arrived downstairs first.

"I'm going to change my clothes."

After locking the car and going upstairs, Xie Wanqing didn't go directly to Xu Jinhuan's house. Instead, she pointed upstairs and said, "I'll come back later."

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand, took out his key to open the door, and was changing his slippers when Song Zhiyu came running over happily with Xiao Guai in her arms.

"It is you?"

Seeing it was him, Song Zhiyu seemed a little disappointed, pouting and saying, "I thought Uncle had come back... Where did you go?"

"I ran two laps in Suihe Park."

Xu Jinhuan told part of the truth, "Should I call you tomorrow?"

Surprisingly, Song Zhiyu didn't refuse outright. Instead, she thought about it seriously for a moment and then asked him, "Morning?"

"Ah."

"Then I won't go."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, seemingly hesitant, but then shook her head, "I want to sleep, I can't get up."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan was well aware that Song Zhiyu's willingness to think and hesitate was already a great respect for him.

Of course, her not going is a greater sign of respect.

Xu Haiguang quickly brought up the steamed buns. Song Zhiyu grabbed one and ate it first before helping to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Jinhuan washed her face, and Xie Wanqing quickly followed, sitting down at the table. Song Zhiyu asked her, "Sister Wanqing, what are you planning to do today?"

Xie Wanqing went for a run early in the morning. She was actually a little sleepy, but she was too embarrassed to say so. Instead, she said, "Let's continue studying... What's wrong?"

"It's okay, then you should study hard."

Song Zhiyu asked sweetly, "Which school do you want to apply to? You should decide by now, right?"

Xie Wanqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'd like to try Beijing University of Technology and Business."

"That's great, my brother will definitely go to Beijing too."

Song Zhiyu said with a grin, "That way, next year my brother and Sister Xingzhu will go to university in Beijing, and Sister Wanqing can also go to graduate school, so we can all be together."

Xie Wanqing didn't know what she meant by "still together," so she smiled but didn't reply.

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were quite happy about this. Although they didn't know much about how to take the postgraduate entrance exam, they still discussed it with her and planned to accumulate some experience for their son's future postgraduate entrance exam.

After breakfast, Xu Jinhuan went to the toilet and lurked in the Flappy Bird forum on his phone when he suddenly received a message from Chen Xingruo: "What was that secret you mentioned yesterday?"

You know to swerve when the car hits a tree, you know to shake off the snot dripping from your nose, you know to dodge when Xizong clenches his fist... Too late!
Xu Jinhuan sneered, immediately took a screenshot of the chat interface, and sent it to Chen Xingzhu: "Your sister is still interrogating me about your secrets, that's too much!"

"??"

Chen Xingzhu did not reply, but Chen Xingruo quickly sent two question marks, and then sent a screenshot, which was a screenshot of the chat history between Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu, showing Xu Jinhuan complaining to Chen Xingzhu.

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment, then took a screenshot of the chat history where Chen Xingruo questioned her and sent it to Chen Xingzhu. She then sent Chen Xingzhu two question marks as well: "?"

Chen Xingzhu replied quickly this time: "Ruoruo just snatched my phone away."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and asked her, "How do I know if the person holding the phone right now is Chen Xingzhu or Chen Xingruo?"

Chen Xingzhu: “…”

Xu Jinhuan: "Unless you tell me a secret that only the two of us know."

Chen Xingzhu: "Under the Flying Stone, you held my sister's hand for a photo and even kissed her."

　The continuous stream of updates has caused writer's block, resulting in a slight delay. I should get things sorted out now.
