Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Xie Wanqing knew why Tao Menghua was acting this way, and said with some embarrassment, "Xu Jinhuan came to talk to my dad about serious matters."

"Hey, you guys talk, you guys talk."

Tao Menghua quickly smiled and turned back to Xie Zhiqiang's room: "Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, why aren't you up yet?"

Xie Zhiqiang didn't respond, so Xu Jinhuan stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

He knocked twice on the door, then pushed it open and went inside. He saw that the air conditioner was on, the curtains were closed, and the lights were off. Xie Zhiqiang was lying on the bed playing on his phone.

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan glanced at his expression, guessed what was going on, found the remote to turn off the air conditioner, went over and opened the curtains, and laughed, "You look listless, did you masturbate too much last night?"

The sunlight was a bit too bright. Xie Zhiqiang glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, then put down his phone and said, "Tao Tao deleted me from her game friends list."

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan knew exactly what was going on. Ding Wenjie stopped bothering Xie Wanqing and naturally stopped playing games with "Xie Wanqing." However, he looked surprised and asked, "Why? Are you guys on a losing streak?"

"No."

Xie Zhiqiang was also distressed, "We had a three-game winning streak last time we played games... We were supposed to duo queue this weekend, but she didn't log on all day yesterday."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "When did you find out he deleted you from his game friends list?"

“I came back from your house last night, logged into the game, and found that she was no longer my friend.”

Xie Zhiqiang looked utterly dejected. "Do you think I did something wrong? Did I offend her?"

"Probably not."

Xu Jinhuan sat on the edge of the bed and earnestly helped analyze the situation, "Could it be..."

Xie Zhiqiang hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "Put some clothes on before you talk. You're all fat."

"I've lost a lot of weight, okay?"

Xie Zhiqiang was energized. He immediately put on his clothes, sat down on the bed, and said, "Go ahead and tell me."

"This is very sudden and inexplicable, isn't it?"

Xu Jinhuan asked, "But objective facts tell us that almost everything in this world has a reason... I have an idea, I don't know if it's right because I don't know your situation, but you should be able to judge how likely it is yourself."

Xie Zhiqiang said, "Go ahead."

"I guess she might like you."

Xu Jinhuan immediately unleashed her ultimate move, instantly locking Xie Zhiqiang under control. "But you two only met through the game, you don't know each other very well... Have you two contacted each other through any other means besides the game?"

He could actually guess the answer, because Ding Wenjie was afraid of being discovered by "Xie Wanqing," so he probably wouldn't dare to contact her through other means.

Xie Zhiqiang shook his head dejectedly: "No."

"now it's right!"

Xu Jinhuan slapped her thigh, "You two don't know each other very well, but you have feelings for each other, so the more she likes you, the more afraid she becomes, because she doesn't know what you look like, whether you're tall or short, fat or thin, ugly or handsome..."

"If I get to know you better, my beautiful fantasies might be shattered. If I don't get to know you better, I might miss out on a relationship. But I will still keep the beautiful memories."

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, she observed Xie Zhiqiang's expression. "She chose the latter, painfully deleting you from her friend list to preserve the beautiful memories, because she was afraid of continuing the contact and that she might not be able to resist contacting you through other means and then meeting you offline... This could lead to disillusionment."

Xie Zhiqiang fell silent.

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Didn't you try adding him back as a friend?"

Xie Zhiqiang shook his head: "No."

"That's a good thing; it means you've matured."

Xu Jinhuan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You need to think this through. Once you've thought it through, you can add her back... If that doesn't work, you can still use her game account to locate her address. As long as you're determined, there's always a way."

Xie Zhiqiang remained silent.

Xu Jinhuan asked again, "Does he know you're taking the college entrance exam?"

Xie Zhiqiang said, "I've already spoken to her about it."

It's fine even if you say it, because Ding Wenjie won't believe it at all; he'll just think Xie Wanqing is impersonating her brother.

"She's probably worried about it affecting your college entrance exam," Xu Jinhuan sighed. "Did she try to persuade you to focus on your studies or anything like that?"

"...I said that."

Xu Jinhuan sighed again, "That makes more sense. She doesn't want to hold you back... If I were you, I would study hard first and then go to her after the college entrance exam, so as not to let her down."

Xie Zhiqiang remained silent.

"You can still lose weight in this year,"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Although I don't know what you'll look like when you lose weight, judging from your sister, you shouldn't be too ugly... That's all I can say."

"I understand, thank you."

Xie Zhiqiang took a deep breath, then got out of bed. "I'm going to brush my teeth."

Xu Jinhuan followed Xie Zhiqiang out of his room. Xie Wanqing also thought about the possible impact of Ding Wenjie giving up on her. Seeing that her younger brother seemed to be in good spirits as he went to wash up, she gave Xu Jinhuan a questioning look.

"This isn't something to talk about here," Xu Jinhuan glanced back at her, then started talking to Xie Zhanpeng about serious matters.

"You can make both pull-apart bread and sandwich bread,"

After listening, Xie Zhanpeng said, "Meat floss cakes aren't difficult to make, but the factory hasn't made them before... If they sell well, we can make them too."

"No rush, we'll sell whatever we have in the early stages."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "In the early stages, we should focus on stability and figure out a feasible plan first. We can consider these things after the online store is up and running..."

After chatting for a while, Xie Zhiqiang came out after washing up and ate breakfast nearby. He listened to Xu Jinhuan chatting with his father. Before the excitement had even subsided, he showed some concern and asked Xu Jinhuan, "Are you able to manage?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I'll mainly take the helm; you'll be in charge of the specifics."

"I?"

Xie Zhiqiang was starting to doubt himself. "I don't know anything."

"Who is born with this skill?"

Xie Zhanpeng spent 300,000 yuan to tie Xu Jinhuan to his two children, not just for Xie Wanqing, but also because it would be a good thing for his son to learn something from Xu Jinhuan. He quickly scolded, "Can't you learn if you don't know how?"

"That's right, and besides, you have your dad to help you."

Tao Menghua also advised, "Of course, that's all after the college entrance examination. You should focus on your studies now, and we can talk about the rest after the exam."

Xu Jinhuan never had a good impression of Xie Zhanpeng and Tao Menghua, and their enthusiasm made him even more uncomfortable. After finishing the meal, he quickly said goodbye.

Xie Wanqing originally wanted to go with him, but she hadn't been home for a long time and was afraid that her parents would worry if she left in a hurry, so she saw him off first and stayed a little longer.

When he got home, he found his mother already helping him pack for his trip to Yinchuan with Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu. He said helplessly, "Isn't it a bit of a rush?"

"Aren't you in a hurry!"

Song Xiaohui glared at him. "We're leaving the day after tomorrow. If you're not in a hurry today, when will you be? Have you ever been to such a far place?"

"Brother, you have to be good~"

Song Zhiyu also said with a grin, "It's always better to prepare early than late. We just checked, and it's quite hot in Yinchuan, reaching a high of 37°C. Be careful of heatstroke, and it seems there will also be sandstorms..."

"I'm not going out either."

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes. "The sand couldn't possibly blow into the house, could it?"

"What if you've just arrived, or are about to leave?"

Chen Xingzhu actually sided with Song Zhiyu, saying, "It's better to be prepared, right? Auntie is just going to bring you some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke) so you can drink it if you get heatstroke. I won't bring much else."

"...Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Faced with the trio, Xu Jinhuan sighed and decisively chose to back down, "I don't need to bring many clothes. I can wash them at the hotel. I'll just get them myself later. I still have to carry my laptop."

"I've talked to my aunt for ages, but she just won't listen,"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him. "You listen to Sister Xingzhu as soon as she speaks, don't you?"

"If she were on my side, it would be two against two. Now that she's on your side, it's three against one. Do you think I'd dare disobey?"

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes, picked up her laptop, and left her room. "You guys take your time packing up. I'm going to the living room."

His words of "taking sides" sounded a bit like a family taking sides, and Chen Xingzhu's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Song Zhiyu didn't care at all. She checked the weather forecast on her phone and said, "Bring another small umbrella... no, we need to bring two, preferably big ones..." (End of Chapter)
