Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Hey, you didn't think about it all afternoon?"

After being woken up by the alarm clock, Xu Jinhuan came out of the room. Song Zhiyu happened to be washing up and saw that he was not as listless as she had expected after tossing and turning all afternoon. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised and disappointed. "You fell asleep?"

"Sleep like a fool."

Xu Jinhuan yawned and deliberately went along with her, saying, "I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't know whose idea it was... I only slept for ten minutes in the end."

"hey-hey!"

Song Zhiyu was immediately delighted. "I knew it... So, do you want to know the truth? I can tell you."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "What are the conditions?"

"The condition is that you agree to one condition of mine."

Song Zhiyu stared at him intently, "It's like I'm answering you a question, and if I ask you any questions in the future, you have to answer me honestly too."

"I'll go wash my face first and think about it."

Xu Jinhuan yawned again, then went to the bathroom to wash her face. After closing the door, she splashed around for a while before washing her face again. Just then, she heard Song Zhiyu say from outside, "Open the door when you're done peeing..."

Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to open the door. Song Zhiyu stood excitedly in the doorway, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him: "Go wash up, and think about it while you wash..."

Xu Jinhuan went to wash her face, and she said at the door, "If I was the mastermind, then nothing would have changed, because I already knew that Sister Wanqing liked you, but Sister Xingzhu didn't know before. So if Sister Xingzhu was the mastermind, then the nature of the matter would be different, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Jinhuan, washing his face, mumbled an agreement.

"So, this matter is quite important, don't you want to know?"

Song Zhiyu continued to tempt him, "If you promise me, I'll tell you the truth, and I promise I won't lie to you."

Xu Jinhuan wiped his face and asked vaguely, "What guarantee do you have?"

"Of course I'll use my character!"

Song Zhiyu spoke with great confidence, "My character is still quite reliable, isn't it?"

"hehe!"

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She wiped her face and came out, only to see Xu Jinhuan still standing in the doorway in her nightgown. She poked Xu Jinhuan's forehead with her finger, making Xu Jinhuan's head tilt back, before saying in an annoyed tone, "Focus on your studies, stop thinking about this kind of thing, stop overthinking..."

Song Zhiyu took a step back to steady herself. Seeing him about to leave, she grabbed his arm and said in a drawn-out tone, "So, will you agree or not?"

"Promise, promise."

Xu Jinhuan stopped helplessly, looked at her and smiled, "I'll agree to whatever you say, okay? Next time you want to make a request, you don't have to beat around the bush like this, and betray Chen Xingzhu to negotiate... Just tell me directly."

Song Zhiyu asked doubtfully, "If I just tell you, will you agree?"

"meeting."

Xu Jinhuan nodded gently and smiled at her, "I'm your brother."

"..."

Song Zhiyu met his gaze, initially wanting to confirm if he was lying, but then, for some reason, her pure and pretty face suddenly turned red. She rolled her eyes at him, then turned and went back into the house: "Then I'll go change my clothes!"

Xu Jinhuan shouted, "You haven't said anything yet!"

"Didn't you say I didn't need to do this, and that you would agree to my request if I just asked?"

Song Zhiyu's voice came from inside the room, "Then I won't tell you!"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan stood there for two seconds, then raised his hand and slapped himself from a distance.

Serves you right for pretending!
He was actually quite curious about the answer and wanted to know Chen Xingzhu's attitude.

The young lady hid her thoughts too well; even he couldn't see through them, and it was equally difficult for him to judge her.

Moreover, because of him, the relationship between Chen Xingzhu and Kong Lingyu in this life did not become irreconcilable as it was in the original history. Recently, it seems to have improved on the surface. In addition, with the appearance of Chen Xingruo, Chen Xingzhu's personality has deviated quite a bit from the original history.

We can no longer make judgments based entirely on our original understanding of history, as that could easily lead to vastly different conclusions from seemingly minor ones.

He went back to his room to change his clothes. When he came out, Chen Xingzhu had also come down. He hugged Xiao Guai, and the three of them went downstairs together.

"I just checked, it's actually quite far."

Chen Xingzhu said softly, "Although it's over 600 kilometers, neither you nor Sister Wanqing have ever driven long distances before. You two are the only ones who can drive, so we definitely can't drive very fast. If there's traffic during the holiday... if we leave in the morning, we might not arrive until the evening."

In her past life and even after her rebirth, when Chen Xingzhu met her again, she rarely spoke so much at once. Yet now, she naturally shared the information she had just researched, "In that case, we'll play all day on the 2nd and have to come back on the morning of the 3rd because we need to consider traffic and not be late for class..."

"Can we only play for one day?" Song Zhiyu was a little disappointed, blinking her eyes. "Then where should we go? I want to see West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, and Broken Bridge... Are they far away?"

“I asked my cousin, and he said that half a day is enough to see just West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda.”

Chen Xingzhu said, "But there will probably be quite a lot of people."

"That's alright, there are plenty of us, and my brother is here too."

Hearing that she could watch what she wanted, Song Zhiyu was no longer worried. "Then let's play for one day. We can play on the night of the 1st, and the night of the 2nd too..."

"Then I'll make a plan later."

Chen Xingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's make a priority list, first look at the places we definitely need to go, and then go to other places if we have time..."

"Uh-huh!"

Song Zhiyu nodded, hugged her arm, and giggled, "Sister Xingzhu is so nice. From now on, I'm your real sister. No, you are my real sister, and I'm your real sister, Xingruo's adopted sister..."

Chen Xingzhu looked at her carefully, and Song Zhiyu blinked her big eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu asked, "Have you done something wrong?"

"No!"

Song Zhiyu quickly shook her head, "What wrong thing could I have done? I've always been so well-behaved and sweet-talking, isn't that normal?"

Chen Xingzhu nodded without saying much. After going downstairs, she sat in the back seat. Song Zhiyu followed, but took the opportunity of Chen Xingzhu getting into the car first to glare at Xu Jinhuan, who had just opened the driver's side door, her eyes conveying: 'You betrayed me?'

Xu Jinhuan didn't understand what she meant and returned a questioning look.

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, worried that if she wasted too much time, Chen Xingzhu would become suspicious, so she quickly sat down.

Did you tell your sister?

Xu Jinhuan fastened his seatbelt and asked Chen Xingzhu, "Is she going?"

“I told her, and she’s going too.”

Chen Xingzhu nodded and said, "But we haven't decided on the specifics of how to get there yet. She can either fly directly to Hangzhou or come and meet up with us."

"I guess she'll eventually come and meet up with us first, and then we'll go together."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks and gestured, "Luckily, this car is quite spacious, and we're all very thin... Except for Sister Wanqing and my brother, they can drive in the front, and the three of us can sit in the back. It shouldn't be too crowded, right?"

"Look back at her."

Chen Xingzhu didn't seem to care much about these things. "Should we book a hotel in advance? Online, or should we have my cousin book it for us?"

"I'll ask my cousin later."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "The company is in Binjiang, which is quite a distance from West Lake. Where do you think would be a better place for us to stay?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "If you go to the company a lot, you can stay next to the company."

"I'd better ask first."

Xu Jinhuan didn't plan to live near the company, but he still had to put on an act, otherwise it would make it clear that he never intended to stay at the company for long in the first place.
Wouldn't that expose his true intentions in bringing Xie Wanqing on the business trip?

Details determine success or failure!

With the monthly exams just around the corner, the two of them stopped thinking about going out and focused on studying after returning to the classroom.

Chen Xingruo quickly received the news. She planned to fly to Pengcheng on the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, spend the morning with her father, the evening with her sister, and then travel to Hangzhou with them the next day.

"I call this living up to my father's and sister's expectations; I'm so smart!"

After announcing her decision in the group chat, she started showing off again, "And I recently practiced driving. Although I can't drive, I can sit in the passenger seat and help watch the road and other cars... It's still very useful, isn't it?"

Song Zhiyu: "It's over, Sister Xingruo, you're doomed."

Chen Xingruo: "??"

Chen Xingruo: "Can't you speak properly?"

Song Zhiyu: "Haven't you noticed that you're starting to sound more and more like my brother?"

Chen Xingruo: "No!"

Song Zhiyu: "Ask Sister Xingzhu and Sister Wanqing. Your smug look is exactly like my brother's."

Chen Xingruo: "No, I don't believe it!"

Xu Jinhuan didn't participate in their bickering and idle chatter. Only after two days of monthly exams did she discuss and finalize the travel plans with Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu. The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived the next day. (End of Chapter)
