Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 273 [272] Face is the easiest thing to give up.

Chen Xingzhu avoided any potentially impulsive conversation, then picked up her clothes, went into the bathroom, gently removed them, revealing her perfect, delicate body, and stepped into the shower stall just like Xie Wanqing had done earlier.

As the water flowed over her, she tilted her head back slightly. She hadn't planned to wash her hair today, but she changed her mind at the last minute, letting her long hair fall over her chest and shoulders, which was quickly soaked by the water.

Hot water splashed on her face, and through the steam, a faint smile appeared on her almost perfect, pure and beautiful face.

'Don't blame him,'

She struggled to maintain her smile, muttering to herself, 'It wasn't his fault he created this situation...'

There will be a way.

She told herself this, and suddenly regretted her principle of "not dating too early".

Otherwise, wouldn't we be free of these troubles?
"That online food sales thing you mentioned, is it really going to work?"

After closing the door, leaving only the four of them at home, Xu Haiguang asked his son again, "How many of you buy things online?"

"There are plenty of them."

Xu Jinhuan explained to his parents about the rise of mobile internet and e-commerce, but they didn't really understand it. Although they were a little uneasy, they didn't interfere much, only telling him not to neglect his studies. Then they took showers and went to bed.

Xu Jinhuan returned to his room and worked out the brand positioning and planning. 30 yuan is a lot of money these days. It seems that Three Squirrels was founded this year with an initial investment of only 5 yuan.

Most importantly, Xie Zhanpeng's family is in the food processing business, so building an online brand does not affect the supply of traditional channels, giving them a significant cost advantage.

"Brother~"

Xu Jinhuan was working on a planning document when Song Zhiyu suddenly appeared at the door. She was wearing a black two-piece silk nightgown, with a short-sleeved top and shorts on the bottom, revealing her fair skin on her arms and calves, with faint traces of water droplets, as if she had just taken a shower.

Am I good-looking?

Seeing him looking her over, Song Zhiyu asked with a grin, "I think I look better after I take a shower than before, don't you think?"

"It's perfectly normal for you to feel that way,"

Xu Jinhuan laughed, and just when Song Zhiyu thought he was going to praise her, she heard him say, "After all, your brain must have been flooded after taking a shower, so it's normal to have illusions."

"You're the one who's out of your mind!"

Song Zhiyu walked over and patted him on the back, then went over and closed the door, leaving Xiao Guai outside as well.

? ?
Xu Jinhuan immediately sat up straight, becoming alert. "Why did you close the door?"

"I'm talking to you."

Song Zhiyu looked at him strangely and blinked: "What else could I do?"

Xu Jinhuan asked calmly, "What did you say?"

Song Zhiyu asked, "Don't you think Sister Xingzhu is acting strange tonight?"

"No."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head. "It's normal."

"unusual."

Song Zhiyu retorted, then analyzed in a serious tone: "You see, Xingzhu's relationship with her mother isn't very good, and Uncle Li is her stepfather, so it's normal that Xingzhu didn't say much when they came, right?"

Xu Jinhuan nodded.

"But when Wanqing's parents were around, Xingzhu took the initiative to speak several times. Didn't you notice?"

Song Zhiyu stared at him and asked, "Do you think this is normal?"

"It's normal."

Xu Jinhuan certainly noticed, but could only pretend not to understand. "She and Sister Wanqing have a very good relationship, and she's not as cold as she seems, nor is she mute. What's wrong with saying something?"

"no!"

Song Zhiyu said with certainty, "I feel that Sister Xingzhu is jealous. Sister Wanqing is already beautiful, gentle, has a good figure, and can cook. Now that her parents have come to our house, Sister Xingzhu is worried that Sister Wanqing's parents are getting closer and closer to Aunt and Uncle, and she feels threatened..."

She paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I feel like Sister Xingzhu has discovered that Sister Wanqing likes you. Brother, you'd better be careful."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "What should I be careful about?"

"Be careful, or you'll break everything!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, "Sister Xingzhu and Sister Wanqing are so beautiful and kind. Aren't there a bunch of men drooling over each of them? Now that they both like you, you need to think it through carefully and not be fickle. Otherwise, they'll get angry and ignore you, and you won't get either of them!"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Think it through!"

Song Zhiyu warned seriously, "Before you think it through and make a decision, you can't let either of them think you don't like her. In other words, you can't be too close to one of them, because then the other one will leave. "Besides, they're living together now. If you get close to one of them and the other one leaves, the one you're close to will feel guilty and might even ignore you..."

Xu Jinhuan looked at her and laughed. A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Song Zhiyu's beautiful eyes as she scolded, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I'm not stupid. You don't need to explain in such detail. Just tell me what to do."

"Um……"

Song Zhiyu tilted her head slightly. She hadn't washed her hair tonight, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, making her fresh-faced face look even more pure and lovely. After thinking for a few seconds, she seriously gave her four-word mantra: "Maintain the status quo!"

Xu Jinhuan readily asked, "What do you mean?"

"Now that Sister Wanqing and Sister Xingzhu are living together, you need to maintain a balance and not get too close to either of them."

Song Zhiyu said seriously, "That way, they won't think you're with someone else, and they won't leave. Anyway, you and Xingzhu have to take the college entrance exam, and Wanqing has to take the postgraduate entrance exam, right? You all have important things to do and can't let personal feelings distract you... right?"

"Makes sense."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, then sat down in the chair and beckoned to Song Zhiyu to come over.

Song Zhiyu thought he was going to whisper something to her, so she bent down and leaned closer.

Xu Jinhuan raised a hand and gently patted her head, smiling, "Don't worry, I know."

Song Zhiyu's face flushed red. She straightened up and took two steps back. Her big, bright eyes looked at him, as if she were shy or flustered. She looked away and asked in a low voice, "You...you said...you know...what do you mean?"

"I said, I know what you mean."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I understand. It means maintaining the status quo and most importantly, not letting any of them be sad."

"..."

Song Zhiyu's heart, which had been pounding wildly, calmed down a little and she was no longer so flustered. However, she didn't dare to look at him anymore. She softly hummed in agreement and said, "It's good that you know... I'm going to sleep."

"Wait a moment."

Xu Jinhuan called out to her. Song Zhiyu had already grabbed the doorknob, but she stopped and turned around when she heard him. Her face was flushed as she looked at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinking gently, a hint of doubt mixed with a touch of joy.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Didn't Uncle Li remind me to register a company here today? I'd like to use your name, Zhiyu Studio, is that okay?"

Song Zhiyu was clearly taken aback. After staring at him for two seconds, her face seemed to turn even redder. She gently bit her lip and whispered, "I can't control you anyway."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I'm afraid you'll sue me for copyright infringement."

I'm going to bed.

Song Zhiyu snorted, opened the door, and left. Before the door closed, a soft, sweet voice drifted in: "Goodnight~"

Xu Jinhuan chuckled, but seeing that the door wasn't closed and there was still a crack, he could only say again, "Goodnight."

The door then closed softly with a "click".

"call!"

The room quieted down. Xu Jinhuan sat in front of the computer, but lost in thought, no longer interested in working on the plan. After a while, she seemed to remember something and added a brand name at the top of the plan:
Sunny

He looked at it carefully, felt that the name was quite good, and then typed another name in the blank space:
Chen Xingzhu

How can I give this girl an explanation?

Xu Jinhuan sat in front of the computer, lost in thought.

Like Song Zhiyu, he originally didn't have a high impression or evaluation of Xie Zhanpeng, but tonight he saw another side of Xie Zhanpeng.

Although Xie Zhanpeng's actions regarding Xie Wanqing were despicable to him, it must be admitted that Xie Zhanpeng's behavior tonight was not all flaws; he also had a decisive and courageous side.

It could even be said that he displayed a certain personal charm.

This is a very normal thing; people are complex and multifaceted, but it deeply moved Xu Jinhuan.

After returning from Huangshan, he became confused in some ways, struggled for many days, and remained hesitant.

But Xie Zhanpeng's two completely different sides made him see things clearly and understand many things.

We cannot generalize from a single instance; each case must be analyzed specifically.

For example, if someone eats a bowl of noodles for a client, it's considered a violation of the rules and they should be punished according to the law. But can other people be treated the same way?

The situation I am facing now cannot be judged by worldly, popular standards.

In short, after agonizing for so long, Xu Jinhuan realized that "face" was the easiest thing to give up.

'It's not that I care about my reputation, it's just that it brings me so much more!'
