Rebirth Must Be Happy

"A kiss?"

On the second day of the holiday, which was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Jinhuan drove Chen Xingzhu to Pengcheng Airport alone. It was during the Spring Festival travel rush, and there were quite a few cars at the airport entrance. When they got stuck in traffic, Xu Jinhuan turned to look at Chen Xingzhu and said with a smile, "We won't see each other for so long, so a kiss isn't too much to ask, is it?"

"I came back in my third year of junior high school."

Chen Xingzhu's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Don't think about these things all the time..."

"I haven't been thinking about it all day; I'm just thinking about it now."

Xu Jinhuan smiled at her, "Just one kiss, okay?"

It's just not convenient right now, otherwise he would have just picked her up and wouldn't have asked her.

Chen Xingzhu shook her head again, and Xu Jinhuan sighed and said, "Alright, I respect your decision... If you don't want to kiss, then you don't have to."

After parking the car, he helped drag the suitcase to the airport terminal. Chen Xingzhu seemed to have a premonition of something; her fair cheeks were still a little red. She glanced at him and said, "Give it to me."

"Ah."

Xu Jinhuan nodded and pushed the suitcase forward slightly. Chen Xingzhu came over to take the suitcase, but she felt him reach out and wrap his arm around her slender waist, which was covered by a down jacket. Then he leaned in and hugged her.

Chen Xingzhu froze instinctively, then realized she should struggle. She tried to struggle gently, but sure enough, she felt he was holding her very tightly and she couldn't break free at all. So she whispered, "Let me go~"

"Just one hug, just one hug~"

Xu Jinhuan reached out his other hand and wrapped it around her slender waist, then moved one hand up and gently supported her head.

It wasn't summer, and winter clothes were thick, so when I held her, the physical sensations were nowhere near as clear and real as when I held Xie Wanqing during the competition. But the feeling in my heart was very wonderful, very enjoyable, and very peaceful.

Historically, the most intimate thing the two ever did was this, and it didn't happen very often.

Holding her in his arms, Xu Jinhuan felt as if he had experienced two lifetimes in one.

"That's great~"

Xu Jinhuan held her head, pulled her close to his body, buried his face in her hair, and softly sighed, "Xingzhu..."

"Ok?"

Chen Xingzhu no longer resisted. Her cheeks flushed red, and her heart pounded. She felt completely enveloped by his aura, as if she had returned to summer in the dead of winter.

"After the college entrance exam, you'll be my girlfriend, right?"

"No... I didn't agree to that..."

"It's okay, you'll agree when the time comes."

Xu Jinhuan had originally wanted to steal a kiss from her, but now he no longer had that urge and felt that he was already very content just to hold her like this.

"Okay~"

A few seconds later, Chen Xingzhu gently nudged him.

"Ah."

Xu Jinhuan released her, but as her body moved from close to away, he suddenly changed his mind again. He cupped her head in his hands, leaned forward slightly, and kissed her smooth, glistening forehead.

"We can't have relationships too early."

After the kiss, Xu Jinhuan said righteously, "So I can't kiss your cheek or lips. I'm a person with principles..."

Chen Xingzhu was both embarrassed and angry. Before he could finish speaking, she blushed and slapped him, then turned and left.

She moved decisively, grabbing her suitcase and walking forward. After taking two steps, she slowed down, turned back to look at him, her expression a mixture of reproach and delight, half shy and half happy. She gently bit her lip and said, "Come pick me up when you come back."

Xu Jinhuan nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Chen Xingzhu didn't leave. Looking at him, she said again, "You yourself."

"it is good!"

Xu Jinhuan smiled, but Chen Xingzhu was extremely embarrassed. She waved her hand perfunctorily and then turned and walked into the airport passage.

Xu Jinhuan took a picture of her back with his phone, watched her leave, then sighed and turned back to the parking lot.

"Ding Dong"

Chen Xingzhu sent a voice message, her voice unusually gentle: "Be careful on your way home, and stay safe."

Xu Jinhuan: "Okay, I'll drive slowly."

Chen Xingzhu: "Mm."

Xu Jinhuan: "Let's go!"

Chen Xingzhu: “Yeah!”

He drove home, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a delicious aroma and exclaimed, "Mom, did you fry meatballs?"

Xiao Guai was also in the kitchen. It ran out to see him, and Xu Jinhuan tried to pick it up, but the little guy darted away.

"Ignorant of good and evil!"

Xu Jinhuan finally hugged Chen Xingzhu. Now there was only one crab left in the basket, so there was no need to worry about them getting stuck and not being able to climb out. Therefore, he was in a particularly good mood. He made a complaint and then went into the kitchen.

Xie Wanqing was also helping out, wearing an apron like her mother. There was no heating in the house, and she was wearing a royal blue down jacket, but it still couldn't hide her curvaceous figure.

Especially when she heard the noise and turned around in front of the oil pan, her gentle and dignified appearance, along with the apron she was wearing, made her look even more like a hardworking young wife cooking. As she turned around, her slender waist and full figure were revealed, and her curves looked just like a gourd.

She also resembles a young married woman, and a captivating and alluring one at that.

Perhaps because Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu weren't around, and her mother was still frying meatballs nearby, Xie Wanqing's gaze already seemed a little strange. It wasn't that she had any ulterior motives, but rather that she seemed guilty. She met his eyes briefly before quickly looking away. "Sister can fry meatballs too?"

Xu Jinhuan walked over, stood behind Xie Wanqing, and asked with a smile, "Your cooking skills have improved quite quickly. In just a few months, you've learned everything."

"No, I'm watching."

Xie Wanqing shook her head, then gestured towards the bowl next to her, "There's some freshly scooped-out stuff in this bowl, you can try it."

The family's life has undergone a complete transformation in the past six months. The son earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, has become a boss, and has even stepped into Peking University with one foot in the door.

In addition, the couple also quit their jobs, and the business of the courier station got better and better. Although they only made a few thousand yuan a month, which is not much compared to their son, at least they no longer had to spend their son's money and could truly live a worry-free life by earning their own money.

Having lived for over forty years, this was the first time Song Xiaohui had experienced a life without worrying about money. In addition, she had recently been spending time with several girls, and with Kong Lingyu and Tao Menghua leading the way, she had started doing some daily skincare, and she had visibly become much younger.

Hearing this, she smiled and said, "It's a new recipe I learned from Wanqing's housekeeper. Try it and see if it's good."

"I'll try it."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, picked up a meatball with his chopsticks, and mumbled a compliment: "It smells so good! The cooking time is just right, Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better... Why don't you give up on the courier station and open a restaurant instead? I guarantee you'll make more money than I do from advertising!"

"All they do is talk all day long."

Song Xiaohui scolded, "Don't get in the way here..."

"Okay, it's fine."

Xu Jinhuan pursed his lips, then casually took the whole bowl, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and went back to his room to eat slowly.

"You even took all the bowls?"

The fried meatballs for the New Year were definitely too big to fit in the bowl, so they were meant to be tasted. But Xu Jinhuan actually took the bowl away, which made Xie Wanqing laugh a little. She quickly followed and said reproachfully, "There's another kind of meatball, it'll be ready soon. Do you want some? If so, I'll go get it for you."

"That's so embarrassing."

Xu Jinhuan was sitting at the table scrolling through Weibo when she heard this and immediately smiled, "Sister is so nice, much more considerate than Zhizhi and Xingzhu..."

"You only dare to say that to me."

Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, took the bowl away, and quickly came back from the kitchen with a few meatballs in the bowl that were clearly freshly scooped out of hot oil.

"Let me try it!"

Xu Jinhuan picked up a shiny, golden-brown meatball, blew on it, and then, as if just remembering something, asked Xie Wanqing, who was looking at her with a gentle smile, "Sister, have you eaten?"

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "You eat first, then I'll eat..."

The meatballs were very hot when they were first taken out of the water, so she definitely couldn't handle them with her hands. There was only one pair of chopsticks here, and she meant that Xu Jinhuan should use the chopsticks first, and then she could use them herself.

"Sister, you should eat first."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't sure if she understood, but she used her chopsticks to pick up a meatball and handed it to her, saying, "I'll eat after you finish, sister."

"Do not……"

Xie Wanqing was about to refuse when she saw Xu Jinhuan already holding the meatball to her lips. She met his gaze, blushed a little, but still opened her mouth.

Xu Jinhuan moved the chopsticks forward a little more and said with a smile, "It's not so hot anymore, but just in case, take small bites."

"Ok!"

Xie Wanqing nodded gently, opened her full red lips, took a small bite of the meatball, and nodded, saying, "It's quite delicious... a little hot..."

"I'll try it."

Xu Jinhuan put the small piece of meatball she had bitten off to her own mouth, took a bite, chewed and tasted it, and smiled, "Indeed, it's very fragrant and delicious..."

"..."

Xie Wanqing stared wide-eyed, feeling as if all the blood in her body rushed to her face and head, staring at him in disbelief.

Xu Jinhuan held out her chopsticks again and placed the remaining half of the meatball in front of her: "Sister, would you like some more?"

Xie Wanqing quickly shook her head and said, "I...I'll go see Auntie..."

"Wait a moment."

Xu Jinhuan put the last bit of meatball into his mouth, chewing as he said, "I have a gift for my sister."

"what?"

Although Xie Wanqing was shy, she was also curious, so she stopped and turned to look at him, "Why did you give me a gift?"

"My sister will know when she sees the gift."

Xu Jinhuan put down her chopsticks and pretended to open the drawer to get a gift. "Sister, close your eyes first, otherwise the gift won't be a surprise."

"..."

Xie Wanqing looked at him, then stood there and closed her eyes.

"Don't open your eyes, right now!"

Xu Jinhuan seemed to quickly take out a gift and then walked over. Xie Wanqing was guessing what the gift was when she suddenly felt something vaguely in front of her.

Then, something soft touched and pressed against my lips, and quickly pressed against them.

There was a familiar, faint aroma of meatballs... (End of Chapter)
