Rebirth Must Be Happy

Not to mention Xie Wanqing, Xu Jinhuan felt like he'd been stabbed in the butt—his eyes had been opened wide. In his previous life, he was a late bloomer, not particularly outstanding in his student days, and knew even less about these competitions.

He had never even heard of the competition before.

"We're back!"

Before Lin Guanting and Zhang Yuanzhe had even left, Shao Yihong, Li Zhuoma, and the others returned with beaming faces.

The two teachers leading the group gave her a few instructions, and Li Zhuoma immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to say anything, but after a while she still sneaked over.

"Someone just arrived over there and agreed to the terms, which are basically the same as what we discussed this morning."

Li Zhuoma said happily, "Anyway, I think it's great, and Shao Yihong's father can get proper treatment."

The fact that China Railway Corporation was willing to invest so much in their project naturally made it significant. It was a truly beneficial technological invention for the country and its people, which is why it was shut down by the government in 2016.

"Today felt so long!"

Finally, evening arrived. On the way back, Xie Wanqing, a little tired but also clearly excited, exclaimed to Xu Jinhuan, "So many things have happened..."

"Yes, but I still wasn't specially recruited."

Xu Jinhuan sighed. Several university teachers had actually contacted him that afternoon, but he didn't take them seriously because he could participate through the regular college entrance examination without having to compete.

If you can go to those schools even if you don't come to the competition, and you still go to those schools even if you do come to the competition, then you've wasted your time.

"Let's go eat first, then we can dream."

Xu Jinhuan was joking about dreaming of being specially admitted to a university, but Xie Wanqing misunderstood, thinking that he was thinking about sleeping with her that night. She blushed a little and said, "I didn't go to see Teacher Tang today."

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan also felt that this was not a good idea, and said, "Then how about we make a phone call?"

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing called Tang Yuecheng. Tang Yuecheng was not feeling well and was afraid of disturbing her, so she didn't dare to call all day. When Xie Wanqing called, she asked carefully and learned that Xu Jinhuan had not been specially recruited by those top universities. She was a little disappointed, but she comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, there are still a few days. Do your best in your defense tomorrow."

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Jinhuan took the phone, nodded, and asked, "Teacher Tang, how much longer will you need to stay in the hospital?"

"I still can't get out of bed, and I estimate it will take a few more days..."

Tang Yuecheng thought he was looking forward to her return, and felt a little guilty. "I'm so sorry, I didn't help at all by coming here..."

"No no!"

Xu Jinhuan quickly corrected, "Teacher Tang, your presence is the biggest help to me... Uh, what I mean is, I couldn't have participated in the competition without you, and besides, you've had such a hard journey, so please take good care of yourself. Everything is fine on my end; so many media outlets are vying to report on me today!"

After comforting Tang Yuecheng, Xu Jinhuan hung up the phone, went into her room to wash her face, and then arranged to meet Xie Wanqing at the restaurant.

When he arrived, Xie Wanqing hadn't come yet, so he waited at the door. Before Xie Wanqing arrived, he saw the "Mediterranean" man come over with two other people.

Upon seeing Xu Jinhuan, "Mediterranean" was clearly taken aback for a moment, then his eyes became somewhat amused. He didn't stage any public mockery, but simply took a closer look at the competition badge hanging on Xu Jinhuan's arm.

Xu Jinhuan was also looking at the other person's identification; the name was Wei Lin.
The sign next to it reads "Industry Invited Expert".

The two passed each other. Wei Lin frowned and then relaxed, revealing a smile, while Xu Jinhuan pursed his lips.

You think I'm in your hands?

In reality, you might not even be qualified to be a stepping stone.

Xu Jinhuan wasn't blindly confident. If the other party truly held such a high position, given his arrogant demeanor on the train, he certainly wouldn't have come here for a meal.

In short, if they had the ability to show off, they would have done so already. The reason they haven't is not because they don't want to, but because they can't pull it off.

"here."

Xie Wanqing arrived quickly, still chatting on her phone. Xu Jinhuan glanced at her and saw that she was chatting in a group chat for meals. So, he put on a gentlemanly demeanor and pretended to be completely uninterested in her chat, saying, "Let's go, I'm starving."

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded and went up to the free dining area on the second floor with him. She then smiled and said, "I'm telling them about today's experience in the group chat. It was quite thrilling."

"I think so."

Xu Jinhuan was thinking about other things, but he smiled and agreed. When it was time to eat, he also chatted in the group on his phone.

"hello!"

Li Xiaoran, who has beautiful long legs, suddenly came over with another classmate and sat down next to Xu Jinhuan and Xie Wanqing. "Xu, would you like to share a table with me?"

"Of course."

Xu Jinhuan greeted them with a smile, "How was your day?"

"You go first, I saw a lot of them chatting with you today." Li Xiaoran was clearly there to get information. "I heard there's also something about Sword Butterfly... Really?"

Xu Jinhuan then briefly explained the situation, and when asked, Li Xiaoran said, "Tencent wants to buy our scheduling algorithm, and Volkswagen is willing to prepay 200 million yuan to test our project for 120 hours..."

She briefly described her team's situation, then added, "Hey, have you heard? The Xixia script recognition system project got hacked..."

"Can this still happen?"

Xu Jinhuan was both surprised and amused. He chatted with her for a while, but seeing that Xie Wanqing was just playing on her phone and not saying anything, he quickly finished his meal.

Xie Wanqing didn't finish her food and soon put down her chopsticks. Xu Jinhuan then said, "Then you guys eat slowly, we'll be leaving now."

Li Xiaoran waved: "Okay, bye-bye."

Xie Wanqing left with Xu Jinhuan, and only after they left the restaurant did she glance at him sideways and ask, "Why didn't you chat a little longer?"

"What's there to talk about with her? We've been talking about the competition all day."

Xu Jinhuan adopted the posture that he was only chatting with Li Xiaoran because of the competition, "Let's talk about something else... If Teacher Tang is still sick and hospitalized, we can't just leave her behind, can we? How about we change our train tickets and then stay here for a few days?"

"You still have to go back to class."

Xie Wanqing glared at him, "Even if you stay, it'll be me who stays to take care of Teacher Tang. You should go back to class."

"Okay, then let's hope that Teacher Tang can be discharged from the hospital soon."

Xu Jinhuan displayed a very flexible stance, and they entered the elevator together. Xie Wanqing pressed the button for the 7th floor, but seeing that Xu Jinhuan didn't, she asked him, "Aren't you going back?"

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled dryly, "I'll go back and take a shower, then grab my clothes..."

Xie Wanqing's face immediately turned red, and she said, "Aren't you... going back to sleep?"

"I'm going back to sleep tonight, and Wu Yifan will still be snoring."

Xu Jinhuan blinked, "I have my defense tomorrow, so I really need to get some rest today..."

Xie Wanqing remained silent until the elevator was almost there, then nodded with a blush: "Alright then."

This is for his defense tomorrow, as it affects his performance and whether he can get a special admission to a university. He definitely needs to get a good rest...

"Bye-Bye!"

Xu Jinhuan got off the elevator on the 6th floor and went back to her room to tidy up and take a shower. Just as she entered the bathroom, Xie Wanqing sent her another message: "Bring your dirty clothes over, I'll wash them together."

Xu Jinhuan: "Okay, thank you, sister."

He took a shower and came out of his room. Before he could even leave, Zhang Yuanzhe, Lin Guanting, and others arrived and chatted for a while. Xu Jinhuan chatted with them for a bit, and they didn't leave until almost nine o'clock.

It wasn't surprising that Zhang Yuanzhe, Hu Xiaoyang, and Wu Yifan knew that Xu Jinhuan had another place to sleep.

Xu Jinhuan arrived at Xie Wanqing's room carrying her things. As usual, she sent a message before knocking on the door. Xie Wanqing quickly opened the door, this time wearing a black two-piece nightgown, which still couldn't hide her graceful and alluring figure.

Xu Jinhuan walked into the room without looking to the side and said to Xie Wanqing, "Sister, give me the clothes, I'll take them to the laundry room to wash."

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing changed into her pajamas, which were quite form-fitting, and felt embarrassed to go out, so she asked Xu Jinhuan to take them to wash.

Xu Jinhuan returned quickly, played on her phone for a while, chatted in the group for a bit, then took out the clothes to hang up. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, she asked, "Are you sleepy, sister?"

"Kind of."

Xie Wanqing nodded, glanced at the time, and said, "Then go to sleep... I'm going to the bathroom."

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan poured a glass of water and placed it on the table between the two beds. Hearing noises from the bathroom, she sat on the bed, picked up the glass, and drank, casually saying, "I just overheard Zhang Yuanzhe and the others saying..."

As he spoke, he turned around, and his knee suddenly knocked the cup up. He also seemed to lose his grip, and the entire cup of water spilled onto the bed, leaving it soaking wet.

"Fuck!"

Xu Jinhuan cried out and jumped off the bed, looking at the bed with great frustration, "Oh no, the bed is soaked, how am I supposed to sleep?"

Xie Wanqing stood to the side, looking at the wet bed, then at the frustrated and depressed Xu Jinhuan. Her watery, charming eyes blinked gently, somewhat bewildered...

It's normal for a little water to spill from the cup; she understands perfectly well.

But with the slightest touch, the entire glass spilled... no, it practically spilled all over the bed...

That's a bit illogical, isn't it? (End of Chapter)
