Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Thank you, I don't need it."

Xie Wanqing shook her head, unable to help but imagine what Xu Jinhuan would say if he were in this situation, but unfortunately she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“I know you don’t lack money.”

Huai Chengyu laughed and said, "But you probably don't know this, but when you graduate with a master's degree and want to find a job, employers don't just look at your grades. They also look at whether you have any extracurricular experience. If you get some experience at a company, it will be much easier to find a job later."

"Then you are overthinking."

Tang Sixuan couldn't help but purse her lips and said, "Our Wanqing doesn't need to find a job."

Zhang Ling also laughed and said, "He's the boss himself!"

"what?"

Huai Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and the other classmates at the table couldn't help but look over. One of them, who was on good terms with him, asked, "Wanqing, you've already gone to Beijing, are you going back home to take over your dad's job?"

Tang Sixuan said, "What succession? Wanqing opened her own online store."

Zhang Ling glanced at Huai Chengyu and smiled, "If you can't find a job later, you can ask Wanqing. Maybe she can give you an internship opportunity."

"real or fake?"

"Wanqing, you've opened an online store?"

What are you selling?

The surrounding classmates immediately stirred. Xie Wanqing was already beautiful and charming, and now that they heard she had become a powerful woman, her attractiveness increased by two levels.

"I just sell some random things."

Before Tang Sixuan and the others could speak, Xie Wanqing explained, "Don't worry about me, everyone. If I need your help, I'll let you know..."

This was Xu Jinhuan's advice: be wary of backstabbers. These days, negative reviews have a huge impact. Relatively speaking, you need to be more cautious of acquaintances in real life than strangers online.

If someone is jealous or deliberately buys something and leaves a bad review for other reasons, it can really cause huge losses.

Xie Wanqing can trust her three roommates, but she can't guarantee that the others won't harbor ill intentions towards her.

Since junior high school, she has experienced a lot of inexplicable malice because of her large breasts.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Huai Chengyu realized that his attempt to show off had backfired and he had become a stepping stone. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he quickly slipped away while everyone's attention was elsewhere.

After dinner, they were going to a karaoke bar. Tang Sixuan and the other two were curious, so they first urged Xie Wanqing to take them to the Science and Technology Park to have a look, and then they could go to the karaoke bar later.

Xie Wanqing couldn't refuse, so she led them there. As soon as they arrived and parked the car, she received a call from Xu Jinhuan.

"I brought my roommate with me..."

Xie Wanqing was caught red-handed by Xu Jinhuan as soon as she arrived at the place, and immediately felt a little guilty. "Let's just take a look and leave."

"Oh, I understand now."

Xu Jinhuan understood immediately and laughed, "It's okay. As long as we don't spread it around like wildfire, it won't have much of an impact. Besides, our online store's sales and influence are gradually increasing, and our ability to withstand risks is much stronger than before. There's no need to be so careful. Sister, feel free to show off."

"You're the one pretending..."

Xie Wanqing was too embarrassed to say the word aloud, as it wasn't as colloquial in 2013. She whispered, "Then I won't talk to you anymore."

"Ok, bye."

After Xie Wanqing hung up the phone, Tang Sixuan and the others saw Xie Wanqing's expression and were a little gossipy. Zhang Ling asked, "Who was that? You spoke so gently."

Tang Sixuan also joked, "Exactly, like a little wife."

"No, it's Xu Jinhuan."

Xie Wanqing already felt guilty and somewhat ashamed, and was embarrassed to reveal her relationship with Xu Jinhuan. After the recent turmoil, she became even more determined, but the underlying reasons were completely different. She explained, "The online store was set up and operated according to his plan. I didn't understand anything about it..."

"what?"

"Isn't he a game developer?"

"Yes, I even follow him on Weibo."

Tang Sixuan and the other two were very surprised. "He can even run an online store? That's amazing!"

"pity!"

Zhang Ling said with a look of regret, "It's a pity that you don't like relationships with younger men, Wanqing, and none of us are as pretty as you, nor are we familiar with him. Otherwise, we would definitely have made a move on such a talented young man and grabbed him..."

Tang Sixuan chuckled softly, "How do you know she's small? She might be quite big!"

"Pooh!"

Xie Wanqing is no longer the naive girl she once was. She understood what they were saying and blushed a little when she saw them making risqué jokes as if they were having a late-night chat in the dormitory. Her heart started pounding wildly.

After all, she had seen and experienced firsthand how big it was, so it certainly couldn't be called a younger brother.

And at that time, she definitely wasn't calling for her younger brother...
-
"As expected, Sister Xie is easier to coax!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Jinhuan had no idea what Xie Wanqing was thinking. Sensing that Xie Wanqing didn't hold much resentment towards him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow?"

Xu Jinhuan's admission with reduced scores doesn't go through a special batch. He'll be filling out his college application with everyone else tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, and we'll meet in class before 9:00 AM. So I'm sending a message to Chen Xingzhu first.

The girl quickly replied, "No need, I'll take the bus with Zhou Wei and the others."

Xu Jinhuan: "We can pick them up together."

Chen Xingzhu: "No need." Xu Jinhuan: "Does that mean you don't want to bother me, or you find me annoying?"

Chen Xingzhu: "I find you annoying."

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

Xu Jinhuan: "Not tactful at all."

Xu Jinhuan: "Alright, since that's the case, I'll just have to be dignified and preserve my last bit of backbone."

He didn't press the matter further, instead going to ask Zhou Wei, Zhu Xinyao, and Hu Yingxin, and arranging to pick them up the next day. Only then did he say to Chen Xingzhu, "See you tomorrow~"

Chen Xingzhu didn't reply.

She opened the group chat with Zhou Wei and the others, and sent a message: "What time do we leave tomorrow?"

Zhou Wei: "Huh?"

Zhu Xinyao: "Didn't Xu Jinhuan say he would pick us up at eight o'clock tomorrow?"

Hu Yingxin: "We're supposed to submit our college applications at 11 a.m., isn't it a bit early to go at 8 a.m.?"

?

Chen Xingzhu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what Xu Jinhuan was planning. This was a case of acting first and informing later.

She pursed her lips, but didn't contradict him. She typed, "His student registration is in Class 11. He enrolled with Class 11, earlier than us."

Zhou Wei: "Oh, no wonder."

Zhu Xinyao: "It's good to go early, so we can take more photos then."

Hu Yingxin: "Mmm-hmm!"

Chen Xingzhu: "Okay!"

The next morning, she specially wore a fresh and elegant light blue embroidered short-sleeved cotton dress, waited at home for Xu Jinhuan to call, and went downstairs with her canvas bag.

"Here you are~"

Xu Jinhuan's Haval was parked downstairs. Seeing her coming over, he smiled and waved, "Surprised?"

Chen Xingzhu rolled her eyes, but didn't pursue the matter of him acting first and informing her later. She opened the passenger door and got in.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, it's been a long time!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu!"

Zhou Wei and the other two were quickly picked up and put on the bus. As they chattered away, making their final discussion about filling out college applications, Zhou Wei offered a few pointers.

Upon arriving at the school, Xu Jinhuan parted ways with them on the second floor and went to classroom 11 on the third floor.

Xiao Yuanxi was playing with someone at the classroom door. When she saw him coming, her bright smile froze instantly. When their eyes met, she hesitated for a moment and forced an unnatural smile.

"Morning~"

Xu Jinhuan was very composed. He greeted everyone with a smile and then went into the classroom to listen to a chorus of "Brother Huan".

He filled out his college application very easily. When he came out of the computer room, he saw Chen Xingzhu and the others waiting in the corridor, taking pictures with Zhou Wei and the others.

Since they were all classmates, Xu Jinhuan exchanged a few more pleasantries before going downstairs. He took some photos with his former classmates at school to commemorate the occasion. After Chen Xingzhu and the others finished their business, he drove them to Class 9 for a small get-together.

Class 11 also had a small gathering, and they specifically chose the same restaurant. Xu Jinhuan rushed to the party midway through because he had to drive, so he didn't drink any alcohol and secretly paid the bill halfway through.

"I feel like I haven't done anything in the past eighteen or nineteen years, and I've just wasted all these years..."

Whether it was from drinking too much or from pent-up emotions, Li Hang, who had been perfectly normal at the farewell dinner after the college entrance exams, suddenly burst into tears at the table after submitting his college applications. "I'm not drunk, and I'm not being dramatic, I just want to cry..."

Do you know what I did the night after my college entrance exam?

Zhou Wei came over specifically to watch the fun, and seemed to be infected by it. Her voice was a little nasal as she smiled at Chen Xingzhu and the others, saying, "After I got home, I did the math tests I hadn't finished before, and I found that doing problems is actually quite fun. I never felt this way before."

Zhu Xinyao laughed and said, "I'm going to sleep as soon as I get back."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan turned around and laughed, "Me too, but we played games all night long, and then it lasted a whole day and night."

Xie Zhiqiang looked at Xu Jinhuan without saying anything, but felt even more melancholy, because after finishing the college entrance examination, he seemed to have done nothing special except play games all night.

Just like my youth, it was ordinary and uneventful. Whether I was experiencing it or looking back on it later, I don't feel there's anything particularly memorable about it.

'wrong,'

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Zhiqiang actually came up with one:
During the farewell dinner, she chased after Xu Jinhuan several times, constantly cursing him as a "son of a bitch."

Even a blind man could see that Xu Jinhuan would definitely be awesome in the future. I actually chased after him and beat him up after the college entrance exam. If Xu Jinhuan really becomes awesome in the future, it would be something to brag about, right?
Chen Xingzhu also came over to watch the commotion. Listening to everyone's discussion, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Xu Jinhuan, only to find him staring at her with tender and affectionate eyes, but behind that gaze seemed to hide some emotions she couldn't understand.

She immediately thought of the first time she met him before the Qingming Festival holiday last year. He had inexplicably barged into the classroom and said a lot of strange things to her.

My life took a huge turn and changed from that moment on.

She didn't avoid Xu Jinhuan's gaze, silently meeting his eyes. Her mind involuntarily raced through the events of the past year, a mix of emotions washing over her—bitterness, resentment, but mostly sweetness and happiness. She thought to herself, 'This must be my future memories of youth,'

This may also be a memory for the rest of my life.

She didn't know if she would regret it in the future, but at least for this moment, she was happy and held a pessimistic but happy expectation for the future.

Even if there are still many storms and setbacks in the future, the beautiful memories of this year will be enough to support her to keep going...

In other words, this is the source of her strength to continue holding onto hope even in times of sadness and sorrow in the future. (End of Chapter)
