Rebirth Must Be Happy

Xie Wanqing quickly ran out of the room, and Xu Jinhuan tidied herself up and followed her out.

Reaching the bathroom door, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, you don't need to... uh..."

He originally wanted to say that this was not something he asked for, but then he felt that even if he was already a jerk, saying it like that would be too jerk-like.

Xie Wanqing spat out the water again, turned around, and looked at him with resentment in her eyes, "I will never help you again next time."

Xu Jinhuan pretended not to understand and did not mention the next time. He said with concern, "Let's go quickly. It's too cold. Don't get cold."

"I'm going to the restroom, you can go back first."

Xie Wanqing pushed him out of the bathroom and closed the door from the inside.

Xu Jinhuan had been holding back for so long, and this was a rare moment of satisfaction. Although it wasn't a truly exhilarating experience, he was still quite content.

Take it slow, it doesn't take a day or two...

Based on the current progress, it should be fine by summer vacation at the latest.

'I wish time could pass by faster!'

He went back to Xie Wanqing's bed and lay down. This time he was really drowsy. He picked up his phone while lying down and realized it was almost midnight.

"Can you go back now?"

Xie Wanqing returned quickly, still blushing slightly, "Let's go quickly."

"I'll leave later, I'm so sleepy right now."

Xu Jinhuan didn't want to leave at all. Holding her watch, she said, "I'll set an alarm and leave in the middle of the night so I won't wake you up... As long as I get back before my parents wake up, it's fine, right?"

"You should leave now."

Xie Wanqing's cheeks were still burning when she thought about what had just happened, especially when the light was turned on and she saw it. She still felt like it was happening right in front of her. She pleaded in a sweet voice, "I can't sleep well with you here."

"I promise I'll get a good night's sleep."

The interaction just now was no different from physical intimacy for Xie Wanqing—strictly speaking, it already counted after the last competition, but this time the feeling was different, and she could clearly feel that the relationship between the two had become even closer.

Xu Jinhuan refused to leave, so she didn't chase him away anymore and quickly turned off the light and lay down again.

"Is it cold?"

Xu Jinhuan immediately leaned over and pulled her plump, soft body into his arms.

"Hmm~"

Xie Wanqing ran out of the air-conditioned room from under the covers. It was indeed a bit cold. Feeling his care and warm embrace, she did not resist. She gently snuggled against him and then reminded him with concern, "Don't do anything reckless."

"Okay, sleep."

Xu Jinhuan lay on her side and reached out to place her hand in front of her pillow, just under the gap of her neck, so that the pressure on her arm would be lighter, while her other hand remained on her waist.

Xie Wanqing leaned back against him, nestled in his arms. Relieved that she no longer felt any resistance, she said sweetly, "Sleep... Goodnight~"

"OK, good night."

Xu Jinhuan's hand slid down Xie Wanqing's slender waist, but was quickly slapped away by her hand, so he tried to slide in another direction.

The decline was relatively small this time, and Xie Wanqing did not resist. Xu Jinhuan then stopped pushing her and quickly fell into a deep sleep while holding her.

"Buzz"

"Buzz"

While Xu Jinhuan was fast asleep, her watch suddenly vibrated. She opened her eyes with difficulty and found that it was already the time she had set her alarm.

"Ok?"

Startled awake in the darkness, Xie Wanqing asked in a muffled voice, "What time is it?"

"Half past four."

Xu Jinhuan turned off the alarm clock, then hugged and kissed her. "I'm leaving."

"Hmm~"

Xie Wanqing did not resist, letting him kiss her cheek and lips twice, and even letting him touch her a couple of times, before pushing him away and saying in a soft voice, "Be careful."

What could possibly happen on one floor?

Xie Wanqing turned on the light, and Xu Jinhuan quickly put on his clothes. He saw her lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, her beautiful hair spread out, and her originally gentle and dignified face showing signs of fatigue. Her charming and alluring demeanor seemed to emanate from her very bones. He couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart, and sat down by the bed to hug and kiss her.

"move."

Xie Wanqing was hugged and kissed twice by him. She sensed that he seemed to be getting impatient again and was afraid that he would want her to do what he did last night, so she quickly urged him.

"Okay, sister, go back to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan kissed her forehead, then got up, turned off the light, turned on his phone's flashlight, and left the room.

Xie Wanqing whispered in the room, "Tell me when you get home." "Okay."

Xu Jinhuan closed the door and, as she passed through the living room, couldn't help but glance at Chen Xingzhu's room, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

Although Chen Xingzhu wasn't home, she usually stayed here...

'That's pretty scummy.'

Xu Jinhuan secretly berated herself, then tiptoed out of their house, returned to her own home, and then tiptoed back inside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two eerie green lights in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisps, moving closer to him.

Xu Jinhuan was startled, but fortunately she quickly realized that it was Xiao Guai.

Song Zhiyu wasn't home. Lately, she hasn't closed her bedroom door at night, so Xiao Guai can move freely in her room and living room. She obviously heard the footsteps a while ago and ran to the door to wait.

Sure enough, Xiao Guai quickly came over and rubbed against his trouser leg.

Xu Jinhuan picked it up and stroked it, then quickly put it down again, clearly finding it less comfortable than stroking Xie Wanqing.

After leaving Xiao Guai outside, Xu Jinhuan returned to her room, turned on the light, and quickly sent a message to Xie Wanqing: "I'm in bed now, sister, go to sleep."

Xie Wanqing: "Mm."

Xie Wanqing: "Then I'm going to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan: "Mmm!"

He put down his phone, turned off the light, and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Of course, it wasn't because he had a conscience, or because he felt guilty or uneasy, but because he was thinking about how to move things forward faster.

When Xu Jinhuan woke up the next morning, he could vaguely hear voices outside. He listened carefully and realized it sounded like Xie Wanqing's voice.

He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning. He was startled and jumped up.

"Strange, how could I have slept for so long..."

Xu Jinhuan muttered something strange. Although he went to bed a little late last night, it shouldn't have taken this long, right?

'It must be because school is too tiring!'

He quickly found a reason in his mind, got dressed and left the room, and saw Xie Wanqing eating at the dining table, while his mother chatted with her about everyday matters.

Xie Wanqing was listening to Song Xiaohui when she caught sight of him coming out. Her eyes met his, and her face flushed slightly. She gave him a shy, reproachful look, but her eyes were as gentle as water, conveying affection in every glance. The charming allure she unintentionally revealed made Xu Jinhuan a little restless.

"Did you just get up too, sister?"

Xu Jinhuan acted as if nothing had happened, and joked with a smile, "Just started eating?"

"You're someone who just started out, and you have the nerve to talk about others?"

Song Xiaohui scolded her son, but didn't ask what happened last night, or even when he came back. She said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly."

"Go here."

Xu Jinhuan quickly washed up and came to sit down at the dining table, smiling as she asked, "What are you planning to do today, sister?"

When Xie Wanqing saw him, for some reason, she suddenly lost her appetite for breakfast. She quickly finished her sweet potato porridge and whispered, "I'm going home today."

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't know if she had originally planned to go back today, or if she was running away because of what happened last night, so she asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"Anyway, there's nothing else going on now,"

Xie Wanqing glanced at him, her eyes sparkling with natural charm, as if she could tell he was reluctant to let her go. She felt a mix of shyness and smugness. "Didn't we finish talking about everything last night?"

Xu Jinhuan chuckled inwardly, not expecting that Sister Xie would dare to tease him so actively, especially in front of her mother. She laughed and said, "No, how can things be finished all at once? There are new things to discuss every day."

Xie Wanqing was startled. She didn't want to help him like that every day. Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed. She said reproachfully, "Then I want to go home too. Those who work should be on holiday for the New Year."

"You can come home, but you can't just come home and never come back."

Xu Jinhuan smiled at her, "Sister, you can go home, just remember to come over often."

Xie Wanqing immediately understood what he meant. Seeing that she was about to go home, and he still wanted her to come over and be bullied by him, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, feeling that he was bullying her too much.

How can there be such a thing?

But she felt no aversion or resistance whatsoever. Instead, she felt a mix of shyness and sweetness, and nodded, saying, "I understand..."

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "When will Zhizhi be back?"

"I'm twenty-six this year, and I'll be back on the twenty-eighth, which is the day after tomorrow."

Xu Jinhuan considered it for a moment and felt that time was tight and the task was heavy. She hurriedly said, "When the 28th Company also has a holiday, then you will be able to relax, sister."

The unspoken dialogue is: "Sister, please bear with us until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month!" (End of Chapter)
