Rebirth Must Be Happy

"what?"

Xie Wanqing was completely stunned, "Zhizhi, she...Xu Jinhuan..."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "Auntie is an adopted daughter, and she has no blood relation to Xu Jinhuan."

"what?"

Xie Wanqing was even more astonished, but then she felt that this made sense, otherwise how could Zhizhi possibly like Xu Jinhuan?
But this makes it reasonable for Song Zhiyu to like Xu Jinhuan, yet it also increases her doubts.

If Song Zhiyu likes Xu Jinhuan, then why is she trying to matchmake herself with Xu Jinhuan?
still is……

She looked at Chen Xingzhu in disbelief and asked, "How did you know?"

Chen Xingzhu didn't explain, but smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, there must be many traces."

"Huangshan?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanqing immediately thought of the accommodation she stayed at when she went to Huangshan. She had felt something was strange at the time, but now, thinking back on it, many of the strange things suddenly made sense.

"Did Zhizhi want to share a room with Xu Jinhuan from the very beginning?"

As she pondered, she asked Chen Xingzhu, "She knows that neither of us... nor any of the three of us would agree, so if she can find a reason to let her aunt and uncle live together, then she will live with Xu Jinhuan?"

Chen Xingzhu didn't expect her to say it so directly, but she still nodded and said, "That's what I think too."

She said it was consistent with her own guess, not that it was a fact.

Xie Wanqing knew her personality to some extent, so she wasn't surprised. She added, "Back then, they lived together, and nothing happened..."

She paused for a moment, then asked Chen Xingzhu uncertainly, "Nothing should have happened, right?"

"I am not sure."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head. "Xu Jinhuan didn't tell me, but I feel like something must have happened. Since we came down the mountain, Zhizhi has been very happy, even happier than before we went."

"Have it?"

Xie Wanqing thought about it seriously for a moment, then began to doubt herself, "How come I didn't notice?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "After returning from Huangshan, the way Zhizhi interacts with Xu Jinhuan has changed. Have you noticed, sister?"

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I noticed that, but that's normal, right? Xu Jinhuan is quite good to Zhizhi, and Zhizhi still gets naughty sometimes... What does that prove?"

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either."

Xie Wanqing asked, "Are you sure you only like Xu Jinhuan?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "It's basically confirmed."

"..."

Xie Wanqing frowned slightly and said, "Thinking back, I can indeed see that Zhizhi's relationship with Xu Jinhuan is a bit strange, but..."

She ultimately didn't have the courage to voice her doubts:
'If Song Zhiyu likes Xu Jinhuan, why is she trying to matchmake me with Xu Jinhuan?'

She thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Do you know what happened when they stayed together in Huangshan?"

She was in a daze, and only after she spoke did she realize that she had just asked a similar question, to which Chen Xingzhu had also answered.

Just as he was about to change his mind, Chen Xingzhu said, "I bet something must have happened."

Chen Xingzhu naturally remembered that Xie Wanqing had just asked, so when she asked again, she thought Xie Wanqing had noticed something. So she voiced her earlier guess, saying, "Zhizhi is happy, probably because Xu Jinhuan is acting like nothing happened..."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Wanqing felt that her words were like a riddle, and asked somewhat blankly, "Why does she act like Zhizhi is happy even when everything happens?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, and I don't know how to tell my sister."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and smiled, "Anyway, it's good that my sister knows about this."

"Ah? Oh..."

Xie Wanqing was still confused, feeling that Chen Xingzhu was acting strangely. He suddenly started chatting with her and told her such a big secret, but the conversation ended abruptly.

What on earth was she trying to say?
And why would I suddenly say these things to myself?

"I'm going to take a shower." Xie Wanqing vaguely sensed that Chen Xingzhu seemed a little down. She wanted to ask, but didn't know what to say, so she went to take a shower in a daze.

She took off her clothes, walked naked into the shower stall, closed the glass door, and then turned on the shower, letting the water flow over her skin. She didn't scrub, but just quietly drifted off into a daze.

She felt like she had grasped something, and vaguely understood what Chen Xingzhu wanted to do, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried...

Water flowed down her fair and delicate skin, creating graceful curves. Xie Wanqing didn't understand anything, so she squeezed out some shower gel and applied it.

"what!"

While rinsing off the soap, she suddenly let out a soft cry and suddenly understood.

She now knew why Chen Xingzhu had told her that Song Zhiyu liked Xu Jinhuan!
They now knew what Chen Xingzhu wanted to do...

She wanted to test herself!

When someone learns that a girl likes a boy, their attitude will definitely differ depending on whether they like the boy or not!

Especially in a relationship like Xu Jinhuan and Song Zhiyu's, it's easy to discern whether it's pure gossip or mixed with other emotions like concern, worry, and doubt.

At least with Chen Xingzhu's intelligence, it would be easy for him to make a judgment.

She seemed a little unhappy at the end, which probably confirmed her initial guess or suspicion that she liked Xu Jinhuan...

Xie Wanqing stood there stunned under the showerhead, the water washing over her body with foam. Suddenly, she had the urge to keep washing and not leave the bathroom.

Her feelings were complicated; she felt shy and ashamed, thinking she shouldn't have developed feelings for her brother's classmate, and also ashamed of Chen Xingzhu, feeling as if she was taking something that rightfully belonged to Chen Xingzhu...

"call……"

After a long while, Xie Wanqing finally let out a soft breath and took the initiative to wash herself, but Song Zhiyu came to mind again.

Why did Song Zhiyu do this?
If Song Zhiyu hadn't suddenly told her that Xu Jinhuan liked her, she would never have had such thoughts, as she had always regarded Xu Jinhuan as her younger brother.

No matter how much he helps her or treats her well, in her heart, the feelings will remain limited to those between a "sister and brother," and will not undergo any fundamental change.

If Song Zhiyu likes Xu Jinhuan, why would she tell herself all this?
Doesn't she know that the best way to handle this is to never let herself know?

Xie Wanqing didn't want to go out and face Chen Xingzhu, and didn't know how to face him. Therefore, she felt a little annoyed when she thought of Song Zhiyu, but then she felt even more ashamed.

'She's so small, she probably doesn't understand these things yet, right?'

Xie Wanqing thought to herself, 'If she really likes Xu Jinhuan, knowing that Xu Jinhuan likes me must be very painful for her. The fact that she was willing to tell me this and even tried to help bring Xu Jinhuan and me together shows that she is very kind...'

How could I blame Zhizhi just because I was embarrassed to face Chen Xingzhu?
She probably just wanted Xu Jinhuan to be happy.

Moreover, since she only likes Xu Jinhuan, then in her heart Xu Jinhuan is most likely the best person in the world.

'Zhizhi is actually willing to match me up with Xu Jinhuan, which is tantamount to giving me her most cherished possession...'

As Xie Wanqing thought this, she imagined Song Zhiyu's possible struggles and reluctance at the time, and was almost moved to tears.

'Don't blame Zhizhi; it wasn't her who made me fall for Xu Jinhuan. I can only blame myself.'

Xie Wanqing took a deep breath, turned off the shower, dried herself with a towel, changed her clothes, and prepared to face Chen Xingzhu head-on.

You can't keep being so weak!

She told herself to bravely walk out of the bathroom with her clothes, only to find the living room empty, with no sign of Chen Xingzhu.

"Xingzhu,"

Xie Wanqing arrived outside Chen Xingzhu's room and found the door closed. She knocked and softly called out, "Xingzhu?"

The door opened quickly, and Chen Xingzhu appeared behind it, holding a phone and wearing headphones. Her eyes met Xie Wanqing's, and she pointed to the phone.

Xie Wanqing immediately realized she was on the phone, so she whispered, "I'm done washing, you can go now."

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded gently. Xie Wanqing had finally mustered up the courage, but seeing that she was on the phone, she naturally couldn't talk about Xu Jinhuan. So she smiled and turned to go back to her room.

Chen Xingzhu watched her return to her room, her faint smile lingering for two seconds before she went back inside, put down her phone, and unplugged her earphones.

The phone screen lights up, displaying the normal lock screen interface; there are no calls. (End of Chapter)
