Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 363 [352] Never Afraid of Trouble

"Mr. Xu is not only after your money, he also wants to swindle you out of your money and your body."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't afraid of being teased at all. "I just wonder if Chen will be fooled... She's so pretty, she doesn't look very smart, she should be easy to fool, right?"

"Ignore you."

Chen Xingzhu snorted and then asked, "When are you going to buy the tickets?"

"No need to buy tickets, just drive there."

Xu Jinhuan said, "I'll just leave the car over there when I get home. I'll use my Haval when I get home, okay?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded.

Have you learned to drive?

"not yet."

"Go learn, I'll go with you."

"Don't you want to work?"

"Work is nothing compared to you!"

"whispering sound!"

After saying goodnight to each other and hanging up the phone, Xu Jinhuan sent Xie Wanqing a message, but received no reply.

'Angry? ’

Xu Jinhuan, having done something wrong, couldn't help but overthink it and sent her two more messages, but she didn't reply.

'I guess he's asleep...'

Given Xie Wanqing's personality, she wouldn't get angry without warning. Moreover, during this trip to Hangzhou, they had frequent and in-depth exchanges, and Xu Jinhuan could clearly feel that their feelings and relationship had become closer. Before returning home and being surrounded by third wheels, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were inseparable.

The next morning, he was awakened by a phone notification. Still half asleep, he picked up his phone and, sure enough, saw a message from Xie Wanqing:

"I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed last night."

"It's all your fault, I feel like my whole body is falling apart..."

"Don't do that again, it's bad for your health."

Xu Jinhuan typed a reply:
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

"I'll reflect on this."

He put down his phone and quickly fell asleep again. He woke up groggily and saw a message from Xie Wanqing, so he replied: "I've finished reflecting on it. The responsibility is yours."

Xie Wanqing: "???"

Xu Jinhuan: "Yes, that's right, you're too beautiful, so I blame you."

Xie Wanqing: "I'm ignoring you."

How come you all know this phrase?

Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself, seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, before finally getting up.

As he left the room, he heard Xie Wanqing's voice coming from the kitchen. He shook his head and chuckled, brushing his teeth with a toothbrush as he walked into the kitchen.

My mom knew that the two little devils in the family would definitely sleep in, so she deliberately cooked a little later. Right now, she's preparing to make fried dough sticks and is kneading the dough on the table.

It's been terribly hot these past few days. Xie Wanqing isn't like Chen Xingzhu, who's not bothered by the heat. Today, she wore an even cooler dress—a light green sleeveless long dress with the hem reaching just above her knees, revealing a small section of her smooth, rounded thighs.

She didn't know how to make noodles yet; it's quite technically difficult. She just watched from the side. When Xu Jinhuan came over, she had washed her hands and, at Song Xiaohui's urging, had just taken a small dough ball to practice kneading.

"Hmm~"

Xu Jinhuan brushed his teeth as he came to the door, looking at her with a teasing gaze, and mumbled, "Hehe, torturing Li Hai, Zou Xue is back..."

What did you say?

Xie Wanqing gave him a shy, reproachful look, then focused on kneading the dough. Song Xiaohui then asked, "Is Zhizhi up yet?"

"Her? Not a chance."

Xu Jinhuan took out his toothbrush, said something, then continued brushing his teeth before turning and going back to the bathroom.

After washing up, he also came to the kitchen to help make pancakes. Xie Wanqing kneaded a dough, and then, under Song Xiaohui's guidance, rolled it into a thin layer, sprinkled it with oil, salt, and chopped green onions, kneaded it into a dough again, and rolled it into a pancake again, quite pleased with herself.

"Look~"

She showed Xu Jinhuan the fried dough she had made, asking, "Is it round or not?"

"Round, very round, big and round."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and praised, "Once I finish making this kang, I'll use yours."

Xie Wanqing found this scene very heartwarming, like married life, and felt a little shy at the thought. Then, she thought wistfully, "If only Xingzhu and Zhizhi weren't here..."

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little guilty and ashamed, because if it weren't for Chen Xingzhu, I wouldn't have moved here, and if it weren't for Zhizhi, I wouldn't have known that Xu Jinhuan liked me...

Is it a bit like "crossing the river and burning the bridge" to think this way?
"Zhizhi!" After setting the table, Xu Jinhuan went to call Song Zhiyu. She had originally wanted to act like "Aunt Xue" when Song Zhiyu first arrived, but she changed her mind and knocked on the door, calling, "Get up and eat!"

"Hmm~"

A sleepy little girl's voice came from inside, "Okay~"

Xu Jinhuan went back to eat and saw that his father had also returned. He greeted him, "Dad, come and eat. Try my cooking."

Xu Haiguang seemed a little skeptical: "You did this?"

"That's not."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't shy at all with his mother and wife, "I made this with my mom and sister..."

"Did you cook?"

Song Zhiyu came out of the room in her pajamas. Hearing this, she seemed much more awake. "Really? When did you get up?"

"Anyway, I got up earlier than you, so I'll go brush my teeth first."

Song Zhiyu is capable of doing things like eating without brushing her teeth, and she has done it more than once or twice.

"Humph~"

Song Zhiyu came over to take a look, wanting to reach out and grab a piece of cake, but Song Xiaohui glared at her, so she pouted and went to brush her teeth first.

"Sister Wanqing, have you rested enough?"

After washing up, Song Zhiyu first picked up a piece of fried dough, took a bite, and then mumbled to Xie Wanqing, "You looked so listless yesterday, like you were about to die, but you look much better today..."

"Going out for fun is a bit tiring."

Xie Wanqing felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Xu Jinhuan still looking at her and smiling, she glared at him, then blushed and focused on eating.

"Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After breakfast, the family went to Xiangyun Yayuan. Apparently, someone had already made arrangements, as the level of hospitality was significantly higher this time. A different manager accompanied them to view the house and sign the contract, and was very polite.

Xu Jinhuan wandered around room 704 next door again, and while everyone else was in the next room, he transferred the deposit for the apartment to the manager. He planned to secretly put the receipt away when signing the contract.

"Is this the genius teenager from the internet?"

"The news says they spend hundreds of thousands on advertising every month..."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't famous in real life. Last time he came, nobody recognized him. This time, however, some employees at the sales office heard about it. While signing the contract, several young women whispered among themselves and secretly sized up Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu.

Especially Xie Wanqing.

There's no way around it; when Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu stand together, there's no doubt that Sister Xie better fits people's stereotypes about certain things.

The house was registered under my dad's name. After completing the formalities and getting the keys, my parents went back to look at the house one last time and planned how to renovate it.

The next day, Sunday morning, Xie Wanqing returned to her own home, while Xu Jinhuan and his family of four went to his grandparents' house. They simply dropped off their things, chatted for a while, and then left without eating there.

After having dinner at her maternal grandparents' house, Song Zhiyu went home in the afternoon. Since she had to attend evening self-study, Xu Jinhuan finally found another opportunity to accompany Xie Wanqing to watch a movie.

I had a small get-together with Xie Zhiqiang and Wang Yuan on Monday, and then spent the evening with Xie Wanqing.

The following day, June 18th, the eleventh day of the fifth lunar month, Tuesday morning, Xu Jinhuan set off alone, heading north to the capital.

The journey to the capital was similar to that to Hangzhou, a little over 700 kilometers. Xu Jinhuan was quite familiar with this route, having traveled it several times in his previous life.

Even just before his rebirth, he drove alone from the capital back to Suicheng, stayed at Chen Xingzhu's cemetery for a while, and then drove back home.

He had wanted to find out exactly which part of the road he had experienced his rebirth, but he fell asleep in the car and couldn't remember, so he gave up.

One must be more careful after all. Having been given a second life, he now cherishes it even more. He walked and rested intermittently, and it wasn't until after 5 p.m. that he entered the capital.

Fortunately, the car has a Beijing license plate; otherwise, it would be subject to traffic restrictions.

"Hello~"

While waiting at the intersection for the light to turn red, Xu Jinhuan called Chen Xingzhu. The girl knew he was coming today and had been waiting for him. She answered the phone quickly, "Have you arrived yet?"

"Almost there, in about twenty minutes."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "If you want to get ready, you still have time. Anyway, there's not much room for improvement in your face, so it won't take long."

Chen Xingzhu ignored his nonsense and said, "Then tell me when you're almost there, and I'll wait for you at the entrance of the community."

"I'll just go in; the sun is still quite strong."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled and teased, "What, are you afraid I'll run into your dad?"

"I was worried about the trouble you'd cause by coming and going."

Chen Xingzhu said with a slight reproach, "Then come in if you want, anyway, I'm the only one at home."

"Then you are wrong."

Xu Jinhuan retorted seriously, "I'm never afraid of trouble when it comes to coming and going."
