Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 408 [397] "A Little Happiness" Becomes a Hit

"Bro, you have a million followers on Weibo?"

On the way to Zhongguancun, Song Zhiyu saw the message in the group chat and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So fast? Xingruo can't catch up again..."

Xie Wanqing said, "The difference is so great, it's impossible to catch up in the first place."

Xu Haiguang turned to Xu Jinhuan and asked, "What does 'million followers' mean?"

"There are a million people following my brother's Weibo account."

Before Xu Jinhuan could even boast, Song Zhiyu considerately said it for him, not wanting her brother to show off, as that would be too undignified: "A full million, isn't that amazing?"

"Where are there so many people?"

Song Xiaohui was a little skeptical, "Are there really that many people playing that stuff? A million would require a huge number of people..."

"There are so many Chinese people."

Song Zhiyu said with a grin, "Sister Xingruo gained over 700,000 followers in just one night, and she's even trending on social media..."

Song Xiaohui said, "Could it be a plant hired by the TV station?"

"Mom, you're quite quick-witted."

Xu Jinhuan laughed out loud, "You figured out how to use online trolls on your own."

Song Xiaohui asked, "What is an online army?"

Xie Wanqing then offered an explanation, saying, "Even if the TV station asked for favors, they wouldn't help Xingruo gain more followers. It must be that someone from Xingruo's company is helping with publicity and marketing, which is why she has gained so many followers. After all, she's pretty."

Xu Haiguang asked, "What company?"

"Xingruo wanted to be a star, but there are too many bad people in the entertainment industry. Her father was afraid that she would suffer, so he set up a management company."

"Wow, now that's what a rich person is like, even owning a company..."

Song Xiaohui's worldview has been shattered once again.

Chatting casually, they arrived at the Huguosi Snack Shop in Zhongguancun. Xu Jinhuan found a place to park, while Chen Xingzhu and the others were still on their way. So the five of them went to find a place to sit down first.

This restaurant just opened last month, and it was around 8 o'clock, which is peak time. Luckily, they were fortunate enough to find an empty table when they went in, as someone had just left.

"Fried cakes, sugar-coated steamed buns, millet porridge..."

Xu Jinhuan and his group ordered some food according to Chen Xingruo's recommendation. Soon, Chen Xingzhu and her two siblings also arrived, causing quite a stir among the diners as soon as they entered the store.

At first, it was because the two sisters were so beautiful and looked exactly alike that the visual impact was too great, but soon people recognized them.

"Aren't you that girl from The Voice of China last night?"

"I saw it too, was it you?"

"I knew I'd seen it somewhere before!"

The restaurant has a mix of young and older customers, and surprisingly, half the restaurant's customers quickly turned to look at them. Fortunately, most of them were just curious and asking questions.

At first, the question was "Is that you guys on TV?", but later it became "Which of you two is the one singing?"

There's no way to tell them apart; I can't recognize them at all.

"I'm the one who sings."

Chen Xingruo was very happy and proud to be treated like a celebrity for the first time. She greeted everyone generously and even asked, "Does anyone want my autograph?"

This elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.

Someone else asked, "Is the songwriter the genius from Peking University? The one named Xu something..."

Xu Jinhuan didn't want to cause trouble—not because she was afraid of being watched, but because Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu were both there. She quickly gave Chen Xingruo a warning look and said, "Take a look and see what you want to eat. Then order some food."

"it's him!"

Chen Xingruo ignored him and sat down at the table, still interacting with people. Fortunately, she didn't mention that Xu Jinhuan was there.

But people aren't blind. The two sisters came over for breakfast, and Xu Jinhuan, a handsome guy, was sitting there. Soon someone asked him, "Are you Xu Jinhuan?"

"No, no, I'm not that handsome."

Xu Jinhuan denied it without hesitation, and even when he saw others searching for his appearance on their phones, he still wouldn't admit it.
The restaurant erupted in laughter again, but no one pressed the issue. Everyone quickly went back to eating, though someone took a picture with their phone along the way, probably to show off to classmates, relatives, and friends.

Whether it was her parents, Xie Wanqing, or Song Zhiyu, they all had a sense of novelty and longing towards Chen Xingruo's celebrity treatment. Chen Xingyu, needless to say, was overjoyed.

Xu Jinhuan was a little worried, and asked while tearing apart a steamed bun, "Are you two still going to climb the Great Wall later?"

"go."

Chen Xingruo took a sip of her millet porridge and casually said, "Look, we're here for breakfast and we have nothing to do, right? There are so many people on the Great Wall, no one will bother us." "...I hope so."

Since the two weren't exactly big stars, Xu Jinhuan didn't object much, only reminding them, "Remember to wear your sunglasses."

After breakfast, the group set off again. This time, the seating arrangement was changed. Chen Xingzhu accompanied Xu Jinhuan to stay with her parents, while Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu went with Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingyu to the Mercedes-Benz GL driven by the driver.

"Auntie, spray some sunscreen on."

Upon arriving at their destination, Chen Xingzhu took out sunscreen spray from her bag, sprayed some on herself first, then sprayed some on Song Xiaohui, and then tried to spray some on Xu Haiguang, who said, "I don't need it, I used to be in the sun every day, it's fine..."

"Stop criticizing so much."

Chen Xingzhu seemed much more positive and enthusiastic. She still helped Xu Haiguang spray some on his face and neck to prevent sunburn, and then sprayed it on Xu Jinhuan's face, neck, and arms.

Xie Wanqing and her group did the same. After tidying up for a while, they put on sunglasses, grabbed hiking poles, and slung their bags over their shoulders before setting off.

This time, they didn't split into two teams. Chen Xingyu was younger and initially ran around happily, but soon got tired, so he wasn't very fast. Fortunately, his parents and Chen Xingzhu wanted to take pictures, so they weren't bored.

Perhaps because most of the people who came to climb the Great Wall were tourists from other places, and they hadn't watched The Voice of China last night, not many people recognized the two sisters after they got up on the Great Wall. When they were recognized, the people around them all looked confused.

Or they might show a look of sudden realization, something like, "She's a celebrity, no wonder she's so beautiful."

This disappointed Chen Xingruo, who was still in the novelty of the experience. She thought she was very popular on Weibo, but she didn't expect to be so unknown on the Great Wall.

However, throughout the entire hike, the person who attracted the most attention was actually Xu Jinhuan.

There was no way around it; just like yesterday when he visited the Forbidden City, four stunningly beautiful women were surrounding a young, handsome man like him. It would be strange if he didn't attract attention.

"The Great Wall is so low, how could it stop those cavalry?"

During the break, Song Zhiyu suddenly leaned against the city wall and asked curiously, "Isn't it easy to climb up here?"

Chen Xingyu wasn't very tall, so he didn't think the city wall was low. But when he heard the pretty older sister ask the question, he also looked thoughtful and puzzled, and then subconsciously looked at the older sister.

Although he hadn't known his older sister for very long, he admired her greatly because she seemed to know the answer to almost any question he asked, even more so than his father, whom he originally admired the most.

Therefore, now that he has encountered a new problem, he almost doesn't even look at his second sister, but directly casts a questioning glance at his eldest sister.

Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing both subconsciously looked at Xu Jinhuan.

Chen Xingruo glanced back and forth between her sister and Xu Jinhuan, seemingly acting as a referee to see who could answer the question.

Chen Xingzhu and her friends bought the same style of baseball caps in different colors before climbing Huangshan last year, but they didn't use them last time. This time, they finally got to wear them. She wore a beige one, which looked elegant and refreshing when paired with a white tracksuit.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head and smiled at Chen Xingyu, "I don't know either..."

He glanced at Xu Jinhuan, then said to Chen Xingyu, "Ask him."

Chen Xingyu turned to look at Xu Jinhuan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you know?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Xingzhu blushed when Chen Xingyu called her that, and scolded him, "Call me brother, not brother-in-law."

"Oh~"

Seeing his older sister's shyness, Chen Xingyu chuckled and was about to ask again when Xu Jinhuan said, "It doesn't matter if people can climb up, as long as the horses can't. The biggest advantage of nomadic peoples is the speed of their cavalry. As long as we limit the speed of the horses, that's enough."

Chen Xingyu nodded as if he understood, then asked, "What about them now? Will they come back?"

He looked outside while speaking, as if he was worried that cavalry might attack.

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Most of them have been driven away."

Chen Xingyu asked curiously, "So, did we win?"

"Well, I won."

Xu Jinhuan nodded with a smile and said, "I'll take you to see Langjuxu Mountain sometime."

Chen Xingzhu asked curiously, "Where is Langjuxu Mountain?"

Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu also knew this name and looked at Xu Jinhuan with the same curiosity, "Is there really a Wolf Dwelling Mountain?"

"Of course there is, otherwise where would the legend of 'sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu' come from?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "But it's too far away. The environment isn't very friendly to us right now. Let's wait a few decades. By then, we can probably go anywhere we want."

When Chen Xingyu saw that even his older sister was asking about his brother-in-law, his round eyes immediately filled with admiration.

He used to think his second sister was amazing, then he found out his father was even more amazing, then he found out his eldest sister was the most amazing, and now his brother-in-law is even more amazing than his eldest sister...

Doesn't that mean she's much more capable than the second sister than the eldest sister?
