Rebirth Must Be Happy

We're leaving!

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt!"

"Goodbye, Uncle!"

"Slow down on the road!"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui saw him off downstairs and watched their son drive away with four girls. Then, they glanced at him again and couldn't help but sigh.

"People say going out with girls is a hassle, but look what happened, your son went out with four girls all by himself..."

Song Xiaohui sighed, "At least last time we were there to keep an eye on things, but who knows what might happen this time."

Xu Haiguang said, "We don't have to live together this time, so what could possibly happen?"

"Who knows."

Song Xiaohui sighed again, "These girls, including Zhizhi, are all incredibly smart..."

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Although the three girls woke up earlier than Xu Jinhuan, they were all in high spirits when they were going out to play. Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingruo were sitting in the back, with Chen Xingzhu in between, and they were even able to wave to each other, just like they were watching a concert.

"Do we have to go through tunnels on the way?"

Chen Xingruo suddenly asked, "I saw a way to shoot videos. If we're going through a tunnel, we can use our phones to provide light, and then sing and record a video together inside the car..."

"Yeah!"

Song Zhiyu responded enthusiastically, "Then let's choose a song first... Hey, I recently heard a song called 'Wish,' sung by four girls. Have you guys heard it?"

"No."

Chen Xingruo shook her head, then looked at her sister, Chen Xingzhu, who nodded. Xie Wanqing, who was in front, also turned around and said, "I've heard of that too."

Chen Xingruo asked, "Who are the four girls?"

Xie Wanqing said, "They weren't singers, just four female students who sang the song together."

"It seems to have been around 96, sung by four 16-year-old girls. It is said that the song was written in just 20 minutes."

Chen Xingzhu, who knows more, said with a smile, "They certainly didn't expect that so many people would listen to that song, and that people would still listen to it after all these years."

"I'll put it down for a moment."

The car's infotainment system was connected to Song Zhiyu's phone via Bluetooth. She quickly found the song and laughed, "What a coincidence, we're also four girls... what a wonderful coincidence."

The guitar intro quickly began, followed by the girl's clear and melodious voice: "The lake is your gaze, dreams are as numerous as the stars in the sky..."

"My feelings are a legend, an eternal wait."

Chen Xingzhu, Song Zhiyu, and Xie Wanqing spontaneously joined in singing, "Growing up is a door made of leaves, childhood is filled with a group of dear people..."

This was the first time Chen Xingruo had heard this song. She was listening carefully when she saw the three of them singing it. She pouted, then noticed that Xu Jinhuan was also singing along. She couldn't help but ask, "You can sing it too?"

"That's not."

As Xu Jinhuan drove onto the elevated highway, he said with a smile, "Zhizhi still heard this song here."

"No, that's not true. I heard it from Sister Wanqing."

Song Zhiyu interrupted, "Just focus on driving and stop interfering with our conversation."

"Okay, okay, I'll focus on being a driver."

Xu Jinhuan pursed his lips. In 2012, the domestic car market was on the eve of its boom, and traffic jams were not serious. He was focused and consciously increased his speed. Soon he got from the elevated road onto the highway, and wild farmland began to appear beside the road.

Apart from Song Zhiyu, the other three girls were all on their first long-distance road trip. Song Zhiyu had no experience on domestic highways either, so they all found it quite novel. They even found the road signs interesting and would take photos with their phones from time to time.

Unfortunately, mobile phone photography is still in its infancy and hasn't even started to take off yet. It can take decent photos in good conditions, but don't expect to get good shots when driving at high speeds.

"Hey, a new iPhone came out, did you guys know?"

They weren't satisfied with the photos of the scenery they took, so Chen Xingruo suggested that Xie Wanqing take selfies for everyone from the passenger seat. They had just taken a few and were looking at the photos when Song Zhiyu suddenly said, "The iPhone 5 has been released, and they say the photos and videos are even better... Do you want to upgrade?"

"I don't need to change."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head, "Mine has only been used for a year, and it doesn't lag."

"I won't change it either."

Xie Wanqing shook her head and asked again, "What does the iPhone 5 look like?"

"It has become longer and thinner."

Song Zhiyu tried hard to recall, "It seems the charging port has changed too, it looks quite nice..."

She took out her phone and found a picture of the iPhone 5. "It's so thin, isn't it?"

"It's quite beautiful."

Several girls looked at it and were fairly satisfied with its appearance.

"How did it get so long?"

Chen Xingruo glanced at it again, compared it with her own phone, and muttered, "It feels a bit strange..."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "I quite like it, but I don't need to change it now. I'll change it when I want to later."

"Can I buy it now?"

Chen Xingzhu asked, "Give one to my dad and Sister Shan. They both have an iPhone 4, which is two years old. It's time to get a new one."

"Hey!"

Song Zhiyu seemed to have thought of something, "Then what do they do with their old phones after they get new ones?"

"Huh?" Chen Xingruo thought for a moment before realizing what she meant, blinked, and said, "The old phone is still there... What's wrong?"

"Then give me the old one."

Song Zhiyu smiled and pleaded, "I saw that Sister Caiwei was using one of those old Nokia phones yesterday. Can I give her the old one?"

Chen Xingruo glanced subconsciously at Xu Jinhuan, who was driving in front: "And who is Sister Caiwei?"

"My brother's cousin."

Song Zhiyu explained, then added, "My dear!"

Xie Wanqing, Chen Xingzhu, and Chen Xingruo all stared at her, but she didn't care and asked, "Is it okay? Of course, you have to clear all the data on your old phone first before you send it over."

Chen Xingruo said nonchalantly, "He's not short of money, just let him buy another one, right?"

Song Zhiyu said, "People will definitely be embarrassed to accept a new phone, it's not like we're giving them a gift right after the college entrance exam."

Chen Xingruo said, "Then why don't you get a new one and give her the old one?"

"I won't change it."

Song Zhiyu pouted, "If none of you are changing, I won't change either. I'll change with you when you all do."

"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

Chen Xingruo didn't care about these things and casually agreed. After chatting for a while, she yawned and said, "Sister, I'm sleepy. I'll lie on you and sleep for a while."

"Okay, you go to sleep."

Chen Xingzhu nodded. Seeing her sister leaning on her shoulder, she reached out to tidy her hair. Before she could put her hand down, she felt a weight on her other shoulder as well.

"I'll take a nap too."

Song Zhiyu also lay on top of Chen Xingzhu, looking up at her with her pure and pretty face, "Is it okay?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "Go to sleep."

Song Zhiyu leaned on her shoulder, but did not close her eyes, looking as if she had unfulfilled wishes and would die with her eyes open.

Chen Xingzhu found it somewhat amusing and could only reach out to help her tidy her hair as well.

Song Zhiyu then smiled sweetly and closed her eyes.

Are you sleepy?

Xie Wanqing asked Xu Jinhuan softly, "If you're sleepy, take a rest, or I can drive."

"It's okay, it's only been less than two hours."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I was listening to you guys chatting just now, so you're definitely not sleepy. If I get sleepy later, I'll go to the service area."

With so many people in the car, he dared not take any risks. Although the S500's safety was certainly not bad, he would be heartbroken if these girls even got a scratch before he picked up the car, so he definitely wouldn't take the risk.

"We'll keep you company and chat with you."

With one person lying on each of Chen Xingzhu's shoulders, she sat in the middle like a nanny, smiling as she said, "I read online that you should talk to the driver while driving on the highway to prevent them from getting sleepy."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Okay, what are you guys talking about?"

"Um……"

Xie Wanqing knew that Chen Xingzhu was not good at speaking, so she took the initiative to find a topic, but after thinking for a while, she really didn't know what to say.

"Sister, don't rush. Just say whatever comes to mind."

Chen Xingzhu seemed to see through Xie Wanqing's thoughts and smiled as she advised her. Then, after a moment's hesitation, she asked Xu Jinhuan, "Can we say anything?"

"Of course."

Even if there were things she couldn't say, Xu Jinhuan couldn't say them like this right now, so she casually smiled and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I've heard that many boys have crushes on girls as early as elementary school?"

Chen Xingzhu asked him curiously, "People usually like many girls from childhood to adulthood... Is that true for you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingruo and Song Zhiyu, who had been resting on her shoulder, opened their eyes simultaneously.

Their eyes swept halfway around the car, then met each other's gaze, both seeing the same excited expression in each other's eyes and on their faces:

If you guys start talking about this, then I won't be sleepy anymore!
"Is that right?"

Xie Wanqing had never heard of this before. She first turned to look at Chen Xingzhu, and then noticed two pairs of excited, gossipy eyes on her shoulder. She then turned to look at Xu Jinhuan and asked, "Who have you had a crush on?"

"We can't generalize from a single instance!"

Xu Jinhuan denied it, saying, "I've always known how to play since I was little. I've never had a crush on any girl. What's more appealing than games? Besides, I'm so handsome, I don't need to have any crushes on anyone. It's always others who have crushes on me..."

'Pooh! ’

'Pooh! ’

Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingruo, separated by Chen Xingzhu, once again had the same thought, glanced at each other, and felt a sense of mutual appreciation for each other.

Are you that narcissistic?

Xie Wanqing said with a non-aggressive laugh.

Chen Xingzhu smiled and asked in return, "Really?"

Her voice was soft, and her tone casual as she asked lightly, "What about Xiao Yuanxi?" (End of Chapter)
