Rebirth Must Be Happy

"So happy?"

Seeing Chen Xingzhu walk over, her originally imposing and sharp steps seemed to become much lighter. Xu Jinhuan felt her joy and couldn't help but smile as well. "What's making you happy? Share it with us!"

"Don't tell you."

Chen Xingzhu walked up to him, her smile first deepening, then quickly fading back to her usual gentle smile. She gently pushed the suitcase towards him, saying, "Let's go."

Xu Jinhuan noticed that many people were looking at her, smiled and reached out a hand to hold hers, saying, "Are you tired? Don't fall, I'll help you."

Chen Xingzhu was a little shy, but she didn't struggle. She let him lead her hand towards the parking lot, secretly thinking that she had already helped him up so many times, and it was time for him to help her up once.

fair enough!
After getting used to holding hands in the crowd for a while, and seeing that not many people seemed to care or pay attention, Chen Xingzhu relaxed a bit and turned to ask him, "Didn't Zhizhi come with us?"

Do you want her to come along?

Xu Jinhuan chuckled and joked, "I wonder who told me to come pick them up alone before they left? Now they want someone else to come, right?"

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him, knowing he was deliberately teasing her, and didn't respond. Instead, she asked, "Isn't she coming along?"

She didn't doubt that Song Zhiyu had developed genuine feelings for her over the years, and she acknowledged a certain form of alliance between them. However, based on her understanding of Song Zhiyu, she believed that Song Zhiyu would use the guise of an alliance to cause trouble.

For example, she would shout, "Sister Xingzhu is my own sister, how can I not go pick her up?" and insist on coming to pick her up, chattering away the whole way, leaving her no chance to even speak to Xu Jinhuan.

"Those who wanted to come along were persuaded to stay by me."

Xu Jinhuan began to boast, "With a jolt of my might, winning over a little girl is a piece of cake!"

Chen Xingzhu smiled, pursing her lips: "What did you promise her?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan grew increasingly fond of Xie Wanqing; at least Xie Wanqing wasn't that clever. He said dejectedly, "I promised to give her a belated New Year's gift."

"anything else?"

"She decides on the gift."

Chen Xingzhu nodded and chuckled again: "What do you think she would want?"

"How do I know this?"

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "But it shouldn't be too much, right?"

"Hopefully."

After exchanging a few words, Chen Xingzhu became less shy and began to talk about her experience of spending the Chinese New Year in Beijing.

Back in the car quickly, Xu Jinhuan put away her suitcase and, seeing that she had already fastened her seatbelt, smiled and said, "Come over here and let me say something to you."

Chen Xingzhu asked, "What?"

"come here."

Xu Jinhuan, like a pervert trying to trick a little girl into looking at goldfish, smiled and raised an eyebrow at her, "Come here."

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer. Seeing Xu Jinhuan leaning towards her, she quickly leaned back to avoid him, watching him warily.

"I'm not going to eat you, is it really necessary?"

Xu Jinhuan found it amusing. "Don't worry, don't worry, come on over."

Chen Xingzhu glared at him shyly, but still leaned closer, slightly turning her body so that her upper body faced him directly. She opened her clear and beautiful eyes, blinked twice, and then stretched out her hands to cover her mouth.

Xu Jinhuan was a little helpless, so he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Chen Xingzhu blushed and closed her eyes. She didn't resist, nor did she feel very nervous. She just felt that the whole world had quieted down.

It sounded like snowflakes falling to the ground, landing on her forehead, slowly melting, and then landing on her cheeks.

It's not cold at all; on the contrary, it's warm and very comfortable.

"Okay~"

Seeing that the snowflakes were still falling, she blushed and gently pushed him away, turning her body to avoid him, and said with a slight reproach, "Let's go!"

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, feeling very satisfied. This time, he was finally using Chen Xingzhu's car to pick up Chen Xingzhu, and he even kissed Chen Xingzhu.

"Sister Xingzhu, you're finally back?"

Chen Xingzhu missed Xiao Guai, so she didn't go up to the fourth floor. She wanted to see the cat first. As soon as she opened the door, Song Zhiyu rushed over enthusiastically.

She hugged Chen Xingzhu, then suddenly sniffed him up and down: "Huh, why does it smell like roast duck?"

"You have such a keen sense of smell!"

Chen Xingzhu chuckled, "I brought back a roast duck, which was packaged on the spot. We can eat it at noon."

Xiao Guai ran over too. Song Zhiyu reacted quickly, seeing it also trying to rub against Chen Xingzhu, she bent down and picked her up, saying like a little devil, "If you flirt with another woman in front of me, I won't let her hug you... Let's see what you can do about it!" "..."

Xu Jinhuan suspected that she was making veiled criticisms.

Are you insulting a cat?

That's a slap in the face for me!
Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips, took her phone, lay down on the sofa, and pretended not to hear anything.

Li Gaoyuan treated everyone to lunch, and also invited Xie Zhanpeng and his family of four. At the dinner table, Xie Zhanpeng said, "These are the last few months. Work hard, and things will get easier once these few months are over."

This is obviously nonsense. No one knows better than these people who have been through it all that these kids' most carefree decade of life is about to end. But saying these things is useless. It's better to just make a promise, at least it can boost morale.

"Sis, which university are you planning to apply to?"

Li Yunxue deliberately sat next to Chen Xingzhu and chatted with her sister, "You're definitely going to the capital, right? I'll go there too... Can I come visit you?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll focus on my studies first and then decide which school to apply to after the scores come out."

She did not respond to Li Yunxue's subsequent words.

After getting to know Xu Jinhuan, and especially after Chen Xingruo appeared, her personality changed quite a bit. She was no longer so indifferent to acquaintances, but some of her fundamental personality traits remained unchanged.

For example, she would never feign agreement to Li Yunxue just because Li Gaoyuan, Kong Lingyu, and other outsiders were present.

The day after tomorrow, which is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, coincides with Valentine's Day. Xu Jinhuan and his classmates will start school on that day, but they will only have evening self-study sessions.

This was not good news for Xu Jinhuan. If he had a choice, he would rather attend classes all day, so that at least he wouldn't have to worry about how to spend the holiday.

This is troublesome!
Fortunately, Xie Wanqing hasn't finished visiting all her relatives yet. Well, I mean, it's really Chinese New Year, and I haven't finished visiting all the relatives yet, not that particular relative.

Therefore, there is still some room for maneuver; otherwise, if Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu lived together, he really wouldn't know how he would survive this Valentine's Day.

"buzzing"

"buzzing"

Waking up early in the morning to the vibration of his watch, Xu Jinhuan immediately got up, went downstairs, got dressed, and ran to his family's courier station to retrieve all the gifts that had been placed there before the Chinese New Year.

"Why buy something so big? It takes up too much space..."

Xu Haiguang had just come downstairs and saw his son had retrieved several packages of various sizes. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's a good thing it's a family-owned courier station, otherwise someone else would have thrown it out long ago."

"Father and son are one thing, but if you lose my package, you still have to compensate me!"

Xu Jinhuan argued with his father, but inwardly he was thinking, 'If you really throw him out, you'd better be prepared to pay with half your son's life...'

He took the gifts upstairs, first unpacking the largest one, which contained a puppy pillow for Song Zhiyu. Then he hid the other gifts and took a beautifully packaged jewelry box to the kitchen.

"Song Xiaohui, stop!"

He was acting like a lunatic, barking as he walked in the door, startling his mother. Realizing her son was acting strangely, she raised her hand to remind him of his childhood: "I'll beat you to death! How dare you call Song Xiaohui that?"

"I'll give you a gift."

Xu Jin chuckled and handed over the gift box, saying, "My dad is such a disappointment, he would never have imagined this. I'll make up for it for him... Open it and take a look."

"Why are you giving me a gift when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"

Song Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sneer, still complaining, "What a waste of money..."

"If you don't want it, then give it back to me."

Xu Jinhuan pretended to snatch it back, but her mother quickly opened the gift. When she saw a glittering gold bracelet inside, she was stunned again: "Is this real?"

"if not?"

Xu Jinhuan burst out laughing. "Do you think I'd make a fake one to fool you?"

"how much is this?"

"It's cheap; gold jewelry is only 330 yuan per gram."

"Three hundred and a half is considered cheap?"

Song Xiaohui glared at her son, but still held onto the gold bracelet tightly, saying, "It's so heavy, I can't really wear it."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Then you can keep it. When my company goes bankrupt someday, you can sell the bracelet to help your son make a comeback..."

"Bah!"

After making his mother happy, Xu Jinhuan returned to his room, picked up the dog, and tiptoed to Song Zhiyu's door.

He originally planned to put the door handle on the doghouse door, but then, for some reason, he had a sudden inspiration and tried turning the doorknob.

Then, the door just opened...

Song Zhiyu hadn't locked the door. (End of Chapter)
