Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 373 [362] Talking about Sister in Front of Sister (Third Update)

"I already said it, it's like cat and mouse!"

"What cat and mouse?"

Chen Xingruo said with dissatisfaction, stepping out of the elevator as she began to describe the bizarre world she had envisioned, "I want to write a world without humans, where rats are the most numerous species in the world, and cats are the natural enemies of rats..."

She mumbled something until she got into the room, then exclaimed "Ah!" and ran over quickly, plopped down on an empty bed, and sat down, saying, "I'm taking this bed! Sister, come quick, don't let him defile you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Xingzhu blushed a little and went over to sit down and rest.

After the sisters reunited, perhaps due to the bond of their sisterhood, Chen Xingruo became noticeably more childish, or rather, she showed her childish side in front of her older sister, unlike when she was with Mi Yuxuan that morning.

Chen Xingzhu is increasingly taking on the "older sister" persona, and is no longer so aloof.

"This is good..."

Xu Jinhuan silently sighed to himself, changed into slippers, went to the bathroom, squatted on the toilet, and scrolled through Weibo for a while.

He has been marketing himself on Weibo for the past year, jumping on any trending topic, but he still has some bottom line and his behavior isn't too ugly. Plus, he's been ahead of the curve with his early updates, and now he has amassed 86 followers.

Having genuine fans who didn't buy followers was quite an achievement on Weibo in 2013.

The success of these two games also played a significant role, especially the rise in popularity of Subway Surfers, which further solidified his public image.

"I'm exhausted. I spent the whole day looking for an office. I'm going to open a company in Beijing! I have to say, the housing prices and cost of living in Beijing are incredibly high. It's really an eye-opener for a poor kid from a small town like me. Of course, the facilities and services are also really good."

This Weibo post has two parts. The first part is the main point, and the second part is to provide a topic for discussion for people who don't care about starting their own company or even about games.

Soon, comments appeared. Xu Jinhuan selected two replies. One was a complaint about prices and housing costs, to which he replied, "They are indeed too expensive!"

One comment questioned the phrase "poor kid," to which he replied: "A year ago, when I was in high school, my monthly living expenses were only 400 yuan, and my parents' monthly salary was 3,000 yuan plus one yuan. Seeing the housing prices and cost of living in Beijing, it's not unreasonable for them to lament that I was a poor kid, is it?"

When Xu Jinhuan came out of the bathroom, she saw the two sisters lying together. To be more precise, Chen Xingzhu was lying down playing on her phone, while Chen Xingruo was lying on top of her sister playing on her phone, her head almost resting on her sister's chest.

"..."

Xu Jinhuan was a little envious, or you could say jealous. In both his lives combined, he had only touched her once yesterday, and hadn't even slept on her before!
"Mind your image!"

Xu Jinhuan reminded him, then lay down on the bed herself, "I'm exhausted... What time do we leave?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "In half an hour."

"Then I'll take a nap."

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to put down her phone, she suddenly saw that someone had sent her a message. She took a closer look and thought she was seeing things, so she looked again.

That's right, it was a message from Chen Xingruo on the opposite bed: "Write me two more songs, or I'll tell my sister about you kissing me!"

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her, while Chen Xingruo, resting her head on her sister, looked at her with a threatening expression.

Xu Jinhuan sat up abruptly, startling Chen Xingruo, who thought he was about to fight to the death. She quickly sat up as well, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to kill him with her gaze to prevent him from ruining her reputation.

Xu Jinhuan chuckled inwardly, deliberately stretched while holding his phone, and then asked Chen Xingzhu, "Xingzhu, what are you doing?"

"Chatting with Zhou Wei and the others..."

Chen Xingzhu typed while lying down, then looked up from her phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingruo immediately pretended to be engrossed in playing on her phone, muttering to herself, "This author is out of their mind, the writing is terrible..."

"It's nothing, I was just checking up on you."

Xu Jinhuan glanced again at the two sisters lying together. Although they were both wearing long dresses, their fair legs were exposed under the hems of their dresses. They had also taken off their shoes, revealing two identical pairs of fair and delicate feet, which were very eye-catching.

He didn't dare look too long, lest Chen Xingzhu misunderstand that he had some strange thoughts. Lying on the bed, he replied to Chen Xingruo's message: "Aren't you afraid your sister will find out?"

"I'm the one who'll suffer, so what am I afraid of?"

Chen Xing replied in text, revealing a strong sense of confidence and fearlessness: "Besides, that's my sister. She can't break up with me, but she can break up with you."

Then she typed, "By the way, you mentioned a secret about my sister that you haven't told me yet. You have to tell me too!"

He then threatened, "Neither of these two conditions can be omitted. If you don't agree, I'll tell her right now."

Xu Jinhuan turned to look at her. Chen Xingruo was resting her head on her sister, glancing sideways with a very smug and proud expression.

Xu Jinhuan looked away and typed a reply: "Okay, I agree to everything."

Chen Xingruo: "Then you go first!"

Xu Jinhuan: "The secret is that after you two separated, your sister would paint a picture of you in her likeness every year as a birthday present."

Chen Xingruo: "Huh? Then why didn't she tell me?" Xu Jinhuan: "She was probably embarrassed, after all, she's not as thick-skinned as you."

Chen Xingruo: "You're the one with thick skin!"

Xu Jinhuan: "Don't let your sister know about this, otherwise she'll definitely know that I betrayed her."

Chen Xingruo: "What if I tell her?"

Chen Xingruo: "What can you do to me?"

She glanced at Xu Jinhuan again, still looking smug.

Xu Jinhuan typed back: "If you betray me, I'll tell your sister what happened this morning."

"..."

Chen Xingruo's smile froze; she was genuinely a little guilty, but she still angrily typed, "This is what I threatened you with. What right do you have to use it to threaten me back?"

He added, "I'm not afraid of my sister finding out, she's my sister!"

Xu Jinhuan: "Fine, I won't write the song then. Let's both die together."

"Don't! Don't!"

Seeing that he seemed to be getting up, Chen Xingruo quickly typed to reassure him, "I won't say anything! I won't tell my sister that you betrayed her, okay?"

After reading her message, Xu Jinhuan lay down again and typed, "It's a deal!"

Seeing that he was lying down again, Chen Xingruo felt relieved and typed: "Honestly, you're too easily amused. You're always talking about dying. You have no backbone!"

Xu Jinhuan: "You have ambition, threatening me with something like this?"

Chen Xingruo: "Who told you to kiss me?"

Xu Jinhuan: "I was kissing my girlfriend, who told you to pretend to be her?"

"shameless!"

Chen Xingruo's face turned red with anger, and she quickly typed: "You can't even recognize your own girlfriend, and you still have the nerve to say you love her? What boyfriend wouldn't recognize his own girlfriend?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Which younger sister would pretend to be her older sister?"

Just as Chen Xingruo was about to type, she suddenly felt her sister move beneath her. Thinking that her sister had discovered her secretly chatting with Xu Jinhuan in front of her, she was startled and her body trembled. She quickly asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Go to the restroom."

Chen Xingzhu glared at her younger sister, pushed her up, and sat up herself.

Chen Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat up straight. She then glared at Xu Jinhuan, only to see Chen Xingzhu put on her shoes, stand up, and say, "That way you don't have to type. You can just say what you want to say in person."

Chen Xingruo: "..."

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

"Hehe~"

Chen Xing chuckled twice, then stammered, "Sis, what do you mean? I'm chatting with my classmate, you won't believe me, look..."

"I do not watch."

Chen Xingzhu walked straight to the bathroom. As she passed Xu Jinhuan's bedside, she glanced at him before entering the bathroom. "You two can talk slowly. I'll play some music so I won't hear you talking."

Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingruo looked at each other, and Chen Xingruo spoke first: "It must be you who was discovered by her. I was lying on top of her, so she definitely couldn't see me."

"I'm so far away from her, what can she see?"

Xu Jinhuan retorted, "Besides, I wasn't guilty to begin with, so what if I found out?"

Chen Xingruo lowered her voice and said disdainfully, "So stupid!"

"Heh, you think you're so smart?"

Xu Jinhuan scoffed and curled her lip, saying, "You only benefited from the modeling. I initially thought you were quite clever, but after actually getting to know you..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but shook his head and sighed.

Chen Xingruo angrily retorted, "You think you're smart? You think you're smart, yet..."

For a moment, he couldn't think of a way to mock Xu Jinhuan, after all, Xu Jinhuan had indeed done a lot of things worth praising. He paused for a moment, and seeing Xu Jinhuan staring at him, he hurriedly asked without thinking, "...You still think of me as my sister?"
