Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chen Xingzhu certainly wouldn't pull down his pants, and Xu Jinhuan didn't say much either. He escorted her back downstairs, parked his bicycle, and tilted it slightly to make it easier for her to step onto the ground. Watching her leap down gracefully, he smiled and said, "Go home and get some sleep. See you tomorrow."

Chen Xingzhu stepped onto the ground, quietly straightened her skirt, nodded, and said, "I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Xu Jinhuan watched her figure disappear, waited for a while, then checked the time and saw that it was only nine o'clock. So he rode his bicycle away to Xie Wanqing's house.

"I am home."

Not long after leaving Chen Xingzhu's residential area, Xu Jinhuan's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Chen Xingzhu, so he replied briefly and continued riding his bicycle.

"dong dong dong"

Just as he arrived at the entrance of Xie Wanqing's residential compound, Song Zhiyu called: "Brother, where are you?"

Xu Jinhuan took a breath and then said, "I'm out meeting up with some classmates. I'll be back later."

"Good~"

Perhaps because she had received a promise, the little girl was very well-behaved and said sweetly, "Then I'll hang up. Remember to say hello to Chen and Xie for me."

"It's hung up."

Xu Jinhuan was about to deny it, but then she remembered Chen Xingzhu's reminder and decided to acquiesce, saying, "Bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, he pushed his bicycle downstairs, took out his phone, and texted Xie Wanqing: "Are you free, sister?"

After waiting for about twenty or thirty seconds, Xie Wanqing replied, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan: "I'm downstairs at your place. I have a few words I want to say to you."

Xie Wanqing: "Do you want to come up?"

Xu Jinhuan: "It's too late, so I won't go up. Could you come down for a bit, sister?"

Xie Wanqing: "Then wait for me."

She quickly came out of the building entrance, wearing a traditional Hanfu-style dress with a front opening, her hair half up and half down, and she hurried out in slippers.

Xu Jinhuan's eyes lit up as she noticed Xie Wanqing's unexpected suitability for Hanfu. Wearing it, she exuded not only her original gentle and dignified air but also a touch of grandeur and elegance. Xu Jinhuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Xie Wanqing to be wearing Hanfu so early: "Sister is wearing Hanfu?"

"you know?"

In 2013, Hanfu wasn't very popular in a third-tier city like Suicheng. Xie Wanqing was a little surprised and embarrassed, explaining, "I bought it a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to try it on until now..."

She picked up the package the day she brought Chen Xingzhu back. After talking with Chen Xingzhu, she hadn't been in the mood to try on clothes.

Xu Jinhuan came back today, and although she brought up the situation, making it seem like the relationship between the three of them had reached a freezing point, she actually felt at ease.

Especially the sight of him "embracing two women" in the restaurant, although she still felt awkward, it confirmed one thing for her: she was still very, very important to him!
Even in that situation, in that brief reaction time, he did not choose to give up on himself.

Xie Wanqing's mindset was different from Chen Xingzhu's from the very beginning. When she first learned from Song Zhiyu that Xu Jinhuan liked her, she had the premise that "Xu Jinhuan likes Chen Xingzhu," and she was well aware of this before that.

Of course, there was an instinctive possessiveness, but it was always accompanied by guilt and remorse for "Chen Xingzhu being here first".

After a long talk with Chen Xingzhu that afternoon, and after nearly two days of contact and conversation, she was already very satisfied with the result.

"Is your sister in a better mood today?"

Xu Jinhuan keenly sensed the information revealed in her words, and feeling somewhat puzzled, he smiled and said, "That's good. I was worried that my sister would be sad, I've been concerned." Xie Wanqing saw that his face and body were covered in sweat, and felt a little guilty and distressed, saying, "You...you came by bike?"

"Ah."

Xu Jinhuan nodded and said truthfully, "I just came from Xingzhu's place. I wanted to apologize to my sister..."

"..."

Xie Wanqing's face turned pale. She thought he was going to say, "I like Chen Xingzhu more, so I have to give up my sister," and apologize for it. Her mind went completely blank.

But Xu Jinhuan continued, "What I'm doing is so unfair to my sister, but I really, really like her."

He had only intended to apologize, but seeing Xie Wanqing's pale face, he suddenly realized his mistake. He took her hand and said softly, "Sister, give me some time, okay? I'll definitely think of a way..."

After Xie Wanqing heard him finish speaking, and saw him holding her hand, her pale cheeks finally regained their color. Her previously blank mind began to work again. She realized she had misunderstood, but didn't know what to say. She bit her lip gently and remained silent.

"……sorry!"

Seeing the change in her expression, Xu Jinhuan confirmed his earlier guess. He felt even more ashamed and heartbroken. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, unusually devoid of any desire, only filled with heartache and pity. He repeated, "I'm sorry..."

Among them, Xie Wanqing was the oldest, but she was also the most naive and easiest to bully.

Given the current situation, Xie Wanqing is also the one who has "given" the most.

When Xu Jinhuan first wanted to try being a "scumbag," he genuinely wanted to give it a shot. He thought he could make a killing with two of them, and with Chen Xingzhu as a safety net, that was his bottom line.

At this moment, whether out of guilt, pity, or affection, Xie Wanqing was no longer a character who could be abandoned.

Xie Wanqing tried to struggle, but he held her too tightly and she couldn't break free. Hearing something amiss in his apologetic tone, she hesitated for a moment, then gave up struggling, letting him hold her, and whispered, "It's okay..."

As she said this, she felt a little like crying, but she controlled her emotions and continued, "I don't blame you..."

Xu Jinhuan hadn't expected her to say that, but she wasn't surprised. Thinking of Chen Xingzhu's earlier comment about her being "calculating," she felt utterly ashamed and said, "I promise, I'll treat my sister well..."

"Hmm~"

Xie Wanqing subconsciously responded, but then remembered her promise to Chen Xingzhu and hurriedly said, "No, no... I..."

She couldn't reveal their agreement, but she had just said she didn't blame Xu Jinhuan, and for a moment she didn't know how to phrase it.

"I know, I understand..."

Fortunately, Xu Jinhuan was still feeling touched and guilty, and he picked up the conversation, still holding her and gently stroking her soft, long hair, saying, "I definitely won't force you, sister. Let's take it slow... let nature take its course, okay?"

"……Um!"

Xie Wanqing responded softly, then heard voices coming from inside the building behind her. She quickly reached out and nudged him, "Someone's here..."

Although the feeling of her fullness and plumpness was very comfortable when he held her, Xu Jinhuan was almost in a state of sainthood at the moment. In addition, he knew that their relationship was not suitable to be exposed in front of her relatives and elders, so he did not force her to hold him and let her go as she asked.

Behind them was a couple with their child and dog, probably taking an evening walk, and they quickly passed by.

Xie Wanqing glanced at it, then seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, Zhizhi said your grandparents'... no, I mean your maternal grandparents' dog, Dahuang, is pregnant, did you know that?"

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "Since when have I become the last one to know?" (End of Chapter)
