Rebirth Must Be Happy

After the official start of the school year, the evening self-study sessions for senior high school students were extended to 10 p.m. Song Zhiyu would get out of school at 8:20 p.m. every day, take the bus home first, and then come to school with Xu Jinhuan and the others to run when they were about to get out of school.

Liu Liangfu, Wang Yuan, and Li Hang joined the runners, so Xu Jinhuan stopped jogging with them and the boys formed their own teams to run 3,000 meters.

I hear raindrops falling on the green grass~

Because it was too hot, Xie Wanqing only ran two and a half laps, and Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingzhu only ran four laps before stopping to rest. After calming down, Song Zhiyu went to Chen Xingzhu to learn how to sing "A Little Happiness".

She originally wanted to hint that the lyrics were about her, so that Chen Xingzhu would know, but remembering the lesson she learned from being spanked, she gave up, lest she be persecuted by the vicious second female lead.

—In her own definition, she is undoubtedly the female protagonist of this youth story. Chen Xingzhu was originally a cold and arrogant second female lead, but now she has transformed into a vicious and scheming second female lead.

As for Xie Wanqing, she is a gentle and kind third female lead. She is not very bright, but she is simple-minded and has a distinctive personality.

Chen Xingruo is a supporting character. If it weren't for the fact that she looks like Chen Xingzhu, she would have been just an extra like Li Yunxue. Now, thanks to the advantage of her character model, she has barely made it into the cast list, but that's all.

Who among the heroes of the world can rival him?
do not have!

After deciphering the meaning of the lyrics, Zhizhi's confidence soared once again. However, she has become more mature now, and when she finished running and left the school, she even took the initiative to ride in the same car as Xie Wanqing.

What's wrong with letting you ride in the same car as him?
They will all be trash that I will crush!

"What are you doing?"

Xie Wanqing slowly drove out of the school gate and noticed the changing expressions on Song Zhiyu's face, sometimes smug and sometimes proud. She asked her curiously, "Is something making you happy?"

"Yes, I have."

Song Zhiyu tilted her head and grinned at her, "I wonder what my brother's head is made of, that he can even write songs..."

Xie Wanqing laughed and said, "Some people are just smart."

"Why didn't we notice this before?"

Song Zhiyu was just making things up, but as she spoke, she started to find it strange herself, "Then what has my brother been doing all these years?"

"Because I'm playful."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "Boys are all like that. They probably only know how to do serious things after they've had their fill of playing around."

"I'm better off because I'm not playful."

Song Zhiyu chuckled, glanced at Xie Wanqing, and suddenly an idea popped into her head. She subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Sister Wanqing, I have a question for you."

Xie Wanqing said, "Go ahead."

"Drive carefully, don't let your hand slip and cause another accident,"

Song Zhiyu is very safety-conscious. "That kind of plot is too cliché. Nobody likes it these days."

"You say it."

Xie Wanqing said irritably, but she was a little nervous, wondering what Song Zhiyu would ask.

She felt guilty because of what happened during the competition in Yinchuan. Although she hadn't had much opportunity to contact Xu Jinhuan privately since returning, they had slept together after all. Her words, actions, and even eye contact would be subtly different, and she might be noticed and suspected.

Do you know what Sister Xingzhu is thinking?

Song Zhiyu asked softly, "I feel... please drive carefully. I think Sister Xingzhu should have realized that my brother likes you too..."

Xie Wanqing's heart raced, and she subconsciously slowed down the car, asking, "How did you know?"

"You guessed it."

Song Zhiyu pouted, "I can tell when my brother says that to you, so Sister Xingzhu is so smart, she must be able to tell too..."

She turned to stare at Xie Wanqing, "Do you feel that Sister Xingzhu is hostile towards you?"

"No."

Xie Wanqing shook her head, "We have a good relationship. We usually live together, and we help each other with things like cleaning, laundry, and snacking... It's all very nice."

"Have you two had a heart-to-heart talk?"

Song Zhiyu thought for a moment and asked, "Like when you chat with your classmates or roommates about gossip, or like when the two of us chat... would you do that with her?"

"rare."

Xie Wanqing shook her head. "We've met a few times, but we haven't talked much. I mainly talked about gossip about our classmates. She doesn't talk much." "That's true, she doesn't like to talk."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, "But she's very calculating. You see, not only me, but you can't figure out what she's thinking either..."

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment and smiled, "She's just not very talkative, it's nothing, maybe she'll tell her sister."

"Also a possibility."

Song Zhiyu vaguely sensed something was amiss, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "You have a younger brother, and I have an older brother, but there's not much to talk about with them. It's more interesting to talk to my older and younger sisters..."

The two chatted casually until they entered the residential area, when Song Zhiyu suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and realized that something was wrong.

She widened her eyes slightly, looking at Xie Wanqing in surprise: "Sister Wanqing, my brother and Sister Xingzhu are like this all the time, aren't you jealous?"

A liar naturally knows the magnitude of their lies. Therefore, whether she initially used Xie Wanqing as a tool or later developed genuine feelings and felt ashamed and guilty, she never truly viewed the matter from the perspective of emotions.

Therefore, it was only now that she suddenly thought of this.

From the first time she told Xie Wanqing, "My brother likes you," she made it clear that Xu Jinhuan liked Chen Xingzhu. At the time, Xie Wanqing also said that she believed Xu Jinhuan liked Chen Xingzhu...

In other words, Xie Wanqing knew from the beginning that Xu Jinhuan liked Chen Xingzhu.

According to Song Zhiyu's observation, Xie Wanqing is now acting "somewhat strangely" towards Xu Jinhuan. If that's the case, how come Xie Wanqing isn't jealous when Xu Jinhuan is always with Chen Xingzhu?

"Why...why should I be jealous?"

Xie Wanqing felt a little flustered. She was already feeling guilty and thought Song Zhiyu was testing whether she liked Xu Jinhuan. Afraid that lying like this would be too easy to be found out, she covered it up by saying, "They're just classmates, nothing happened..."

"Okay, you're right."

Song Zhiyu immediately understood that her sister Wanqing's "acquisition of the country was illegitimate," and she felt guilty and had no jealousy at all.

At the same time, she could also confirm that her sister Wanqing now truly had feelings for her brother...

'This is troublesome!'

The young girl sighed inwardly. As the situation "became clearer," she realized that Xie Wanqing was no longer needed as a tool.

If Xie Wanqing doesn't like Xu Jinhuan, then she's prepared to admit her mistake to Xie Wanqing, saying she misunderstood, so that Xie Wanqing can extricate herself from this mess and she can confront Chen Xingzhu herself, no longer dragging Xie Wanqing into it.

But if Xie Wanqing has already fallen for it, this method won't work; otherwise, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?

Sister Wanqing is so big, she could suffocate herself if she wanted to...

But if we don't tell the truth now, when will we?
Is it because Sister Wanqing doesn't like him?
Even setting aside subjective biases and trying to look at it from an objective perspective, Song Zhiyu couldn't find a reason for Xie Wanqing to "change her mind" about Xu Jinhuan. After all, that guy was becoming more and more prominent, and now he could even write songs.

No matter how you look at it, Sister Wanqing will only get more and more involved...

"Why are you driving so slowly?"

Xu Jinhuan noticed halfway there that Xie Wanqing had suddenly slowed down, which seemed a bit strange. "Is she on the phone?"

"It's okay if it's slower."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and, seeing the streets deserted, opened the car window, leaned against it, felt the night breeze, and began to hum softly, "I hear raindrops falling on the green grass, I hear the distant school bell ringing..."

Xu Jinhuan didn't speak, but listened quietly to her humming. Then he opened the window to let the night breeze in. Although it was a bit hot compared to the car, he felt refreshed.

He enjoyed the atmosphere.

Of course, it would be great if Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu were in the car too...

'Uh, I only thought that because they were both in the car in front and were getting in the way, it doesn't mean I had any ulterior motives...'

Xu Jinhuan silently tried to justify himself, 'Otherwise, if I were really that shameless, I would have thought of Chen Xingruo, but I didn't think of Chen Xingruo at all, which means I'm not that shameless...'

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly focused on listening to Chen Xingzhu sing. He was surprised to find that she had actually sung the entire song, and exclaimed, "You memorized it all?"

"It's not difficult."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him sideways, her eyes brimming with shy joy, "It really does sound quite nice..."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Of course, when have I ever messed up?"

After finishing the song, they arrived at the residential complex. Xu Jinhuan slowed down and continued following Xie Wanqing downstairs. Chen Xingzhu suddenly asked, "By the way, when will your Qingfanghao online store open?" (End of Chapter)
