Rebirth Must Be Happy

Who is Xiao Yuanxi?

Xu Jinhuan asked with great confusion, "Our classmates?"

"..."

Chen Xingzhu had clearly underestimated his shamelessness. She hadn't expected him to pretend not to know her, and to do it so convincingly. She was stunned for a moment: "You..."

She wanted to argue, but felt it was pointless; could she possibly wake someone who was pretending to be asleep?
"Xiao Yuanxi?"

Song Zhiyu thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Is it that guy from my brother's original class who confessed to him but then denied it?"

"you know?"

Chen Xingzhu was a little surprised.

"Who is it that you confessed your feelings to?"

Chen Xingruo stopped pretending to be asleep, sat up excitedly, and asked with wide eyes, "Sister, do you know? Tell me!"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "Great! It just so happens that someone forgot. Let's take this opportunity to remember."

Xie Wanqing adjusted her posture to make it easier for her to turn around, and leaned on the chair, saying, "Tell me, tell me... is he his classmate?"

"That was a misunderstanding."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't pretend not to know him anymore, so she had to explain, "During the flag-raising ceremony before Qingming Festival, I accidentally bumped into you. Tang Jingming likes you and is jealous of me, so he asked Xiao Yuanxi to help him pretend to confess his feelings to me and embarrass me..."

"Did you accidentally bump into Sister Xingzhu?"

Song Zhiyu snorted, "Who would believe that? You weren't even careful?"

She raised her hand and said, "Raise your hand if you don't believe it was an accident!"

Brush brush!
Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingruo immediately raised their hands in response.

Song Zhiyu spoke as if she were presiding over some kind of ceremony, even announcing: "Very good, unanimously approved."

Xu Jinhuan said, "Are you blind? Can't you see two living people like this?"

"You two are the parties involved, so you are not eligible to vote."

Song Zhiyu snorted, "Does the person involved know that they should recuse themselves?"

"That was intentional."

Chen Xingruo then said, "Alright, you can continue your presentations..."

Chen Xingzhu didn't hold it against them and said, "Before the Qingming Festival holiday, I heard from someone that a girl in his class confessed to him, and it seems that he rejected her. I don't know anything else."

Xie Wanqing asked, "What's the deal with that Tang Jingming?"

"Exactly, that's terrible."

Xie Wanqing was clearly gossiping about Tang Jingming's feelings for Chen Xingzhu, but Song Zhiyu twisted her meaning, acting as if she wanted to settle scores with Tang Jingming, full of righteous indignation, "She even let someone confess to him, what if he agrees?"

"Even if I agree, they won't agree."

Xu Jinhuan pouted, "Didn't I tell you? Their goal is to embarrass me. If I agree, they'll definitely say, 'I was just kidding...'"

"So that's why you won't agree?"

Song Zhiyu asked, "If they're serious, you'd agree?"

Am I the kind of person who lacks willpower?

Xu Jinhuan focused on driving, her eyes fixed straight ahead, but her speech was deliberately vague, like writing lyrics, leaving room for interpretation: "I know what my goal is, okay?"

Xie Wanqing, Chen Xingzhu, and Song Zhiyu immediately fell silent.

Chen Xingruo asked, "What is your goal?"

"Of course, it's the stars and the sea!"

Xu Jinhuan would never answer, "I am a fine man with ambitions to travel far and wide; how can I indulge in women every day!"

Xie Wanqing glared at him.

Song Zhiyu scoffed.

Chen Xingruo spat.

Chen Xingzhu, on the other hand, was observing the reactions of the others.

There was basically no traffic jam for the first half of the journey, and we arrived in Jiangning in just over three hours. Xu Jinhuan finally couldn't take it anymore, so he stopped at a service area to rest.

"Baguazhou?"

Xie Wanqing glanced at the name of the service area and read it aloud out of curiosity.

"what?"

Song Zhiyu didn't hear clearly, and blinked her big eyes, looking around. "Eight-treasure porridge?"

"Baguazhou!"

Xie Wanqing almost burst out laughing, "What kind of ears do you have?"

"Oh~"

Song Zhiyu was a little embarrassed. Seeing Chen Xingruo laughing so exaggeratedly, she slapped her on the butt and then ran away.

"You dare to ambush me?"

Chen Xingruo's athletic ability is even stronger than her sister's. With a few long strides, she grabbed Song Zhiyu. "Trying to run away?"

"Sister Xingruo, I was wrong, please don't hold it against me!"

The little girl was very adaptable and immediately admitted her mistake obediently, "There are many people here, we shouldn't fight in public, it's not a good thing..."

It was the National Day holiday, and the service area was bustling with people and cars. The four pretty girls immediately attracted a lot of attention. Chen Xingruo glanced at them, then let go of one of them, saying, "Don't do it again." "Hehe~"

Song Zhiyu smiled sweetly and hugged her arm, saying, "Sister Xingruo, you ran so fast?"

"I have long legs."

"I have long legs, so why can't I run fast?"

“I’m always out having fun, hiking and traveling, but you don’t do that.”

"So, Xingzhu isn't as fast as you, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

Chen Xingruo became wary. "You still want to hit my sister and then run away?"

"how is this possible?"

Song Zhiyu immediately shook her head in denial, "I'm so close to Sister Xingzhu, I would never hit her..."

Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing walked arm in arm to the service area, while Xu Jinhuan lagged behind, stretched, and then leisurely followed.

"There's stinky tofu over there, do you want some?"

After leaving the restroom, Chen Xingruo dragged her sister to buy stinky tofu. The two sisters, who had been apart, were now together, and their amazement multiplied exponentially. As soon as they arrived, there was a noticeable commotion in front of the stinky tofu stall.

Xu Jinhuan, fearing something might happen, waited nearby. Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing browsed around and bought a thumb bag.

"It doesn't smell very bad~"

The two sisters quickly bought stinky tofu and each took a bite with a bamboo skewer. Seeing Xu Jinhuan there, Chen Xingruo used another bamboo skewer to put a piece for him, asking, "Do you want some?"

"It doesn't smell bad? Let me try it."

Xu Jinhuan was a little disgusted, but then he still stuck a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth and chewed it. The taste was alright.

He munched on stinky tofu, noticing the surprised or suspicious looks from many people nearby. To be honest, this feeling... was quite enjoyable.

"Come on, come on~"

Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing soon arrived as well. The four of them gathered together, attracting even more attention. After enjoying the stares of passersby for a while, Xu Jinhuan quickly urged them to leave.

Before finding the car, Xie Wanqing asked, "Do you want me to drive for a bit?"

"Sure, the highway is actually easier to drive than the roads below, so don't be nervous."

The two switched places, and Xie Wanqing drove off again, but this time things were clearly not going smoothly; she got stuck in traffic as soon as she started driving.

"The Yangtze River is right ahead!"

Song Zhiyu looked at her phone and exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen the Yangtze River before!"

I haven't seen it either~

Chen Xingruo had just switched seats with her sister and was now sitting in the middle. Chen Xingzhu was by the window and was also looking out at the river, but the view was blocked by the railings on both sides of the bridge, so she couldn't see much.

"How about we just have some fun in Jiangning?"

Chen Xingruo suddenly suggested, "I didn't get to do much last time I came, he just took me away..."

"My brother is going to Hangzhou to inspect work, okay?"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at her, "Why are you inspecting anything while staying in Jiangning to play? Inspecting you, of course."

"forget."

Chen Xingruo then realized there was more important business to attend to, and then reached out to pinch her, "Inspect me? I'll inspect you first..."

Song Zhiyu couldn't beat her, so she quickly admitted her mistake. Chen Xingzhu also scolded, "Don't fight in the car."

"Oh~"

The two younger sisters finally calmed down.

Why is there still a traffic jam?

Xie Wanqing was a little annoyed. Xu Jinhuan had been driving all morning with smooth traffic, but she had only just started driving when she got stuck in traffic.

"It's okay, drive slowly."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and reassured Xie Wanqing that they had finally gotten through the traffic jam. They increased their speed, but before they even left Jiangning, they got stuck on the ring road again.

Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingzhu both fell asleep in the back. Xu Jinhuan chatted with Xie Wanqing, who was also clearly a little sleepy. After getting through another stretch of traffic, it was already noon, so they went to the service area to find something to eat.

After finishing their meal, they set off again, with Xu Jinhuan driving. Fate was not on his side; they were stuck in traffic again, and for nearly an hour.

The girls didn't have a clear understanding of the highway. Seeing that the vehicles in front of them had stopped to rest, they also got off. Then they heard someone explain the reason for the traffic jam: a chain-reaction rear-end collision, and one of the cars caught fire.

Soon the ambulance came up from the emergency lane. The girls looked at the ambulance and the thick smoke in the distance, and they were clearly a little frightened.

"Bro, slow down!"

As the roads cleared and the journey resumed, Song Zhiyu gave instructions from behind, and Chen Xingruo also said, "Safety first. We won't chat with you anymore. Just focus on driving."

"It's fine to chat casually, as long as you don't cause trouble."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, if I don't cause trouble or run into idiots, the probability of an accident isn't that high, so there's no need to be so afraid. I'll be careful."

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were not in favor of driving there in the first place, but they couldn't dissuade them. After hearing about the accident from Song Zhiyu in the group chat, they both reminded her to be careful again.

Song Zhiyu replied, "Okay, we're all helping him watch the road!"

They were all a bit frightened by the accident and nervously helped watch the road. However, seeing that Xu Jinhuan was driving very steadily, they gradually relaxed and, feeling sleepy in the afternoon, they quickly took turns falling asleep.

The road became much smoother after that, and around 5 PM, we finally entered Hangzhou city. (End of Chapter)
