Rebirth Must Be Happy

On September 1st, it rained lightly in Beijing.

After having breakfast at home, Xu Jinhuan kissed Sister Xie goodbye, then slung his bag over his shoulder, went downstairs, and drove to the Honolulu villa.

He waited at the door before entering, and soon saw Chen Xingzhu come out with a suitcase. Yu Peishan was wearing an elegant white cheongsam with orchids and slippers, holding a large black umbrella to shield her from the rain.

"give it to me."

The rain wasn't heavy, so Xu Jinhuan got out of the car and went straight into the courtyard. He quickly took the suitcase, carried it over, and put it in the trunk.

"Aunt Shan, you should go back now."

Chen Xingzhu went to the passenger seat and waved to Yu Peishan, "It's raining."

"It's alright, you can go now."

Yu Peishan stood at the doorway. The cheongsam, the beautiful woman, and the villa, combined with the drizzling autumn rain, created a classical and aesthetically pleasing scene.

"Aunt Shan, we're leaving now!"

Xu Jinhuan quickly got into the car, gave a shout, and drove off with Chen Xingzhu, heading towards Renmin University.

"My sister didn't come?"

Chen Xingzhu seemed to have been resting well at home alone these past few days. Leaning back in her chair, she looked at the drizzling rain in the neighborhood, a faint smile appearing on her almost perfect face. "I thought she would go to school with you."

"She's working on promoting her online store, preparing to launch new products. Guess what they are?"

"What?"

"It's a secret! I'll let you try it later."

Xu Jinhuan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, "By the way, your three roommates are Zhuo Xiaorong, Ling Yuxiu... what's the name of the other one?"

"Gao Jingyao".

"Oh yes."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "I hope you're lucky and get three good roommates, otherwise, with your personality, four years might be a bit too long..."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him sideways and smiled: "If it's your sister's personality, then you don't need to worry, right?"

"Can that be the same?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "My sister's personality isn't good either; she's too easily bullied. But it's much easier for graduate students to apply for off-campus accommodation. Undergraduates basically can't even think about it unless there are special circumstances."

Upon arriving at the Renmin University campus, there weren't many people driving into the campus to drop off students, as there were no traffic restrictions and the campus was open to the public.

A light drizzle continued, and umbrellas of all sizes and styles were scattered throughout the campus, resembling a long dragon bathed in rain when viewed from above.

Xu Jinhuan parked the car, dragged his suitcase, and held Chen Xingzhu's hand. Chen Xingzhu held an umbrella, and together they joined the long line and found the freshman reception area of ​​the business school.

"You are……"

Before she could even greet the senior student who was there to greet her, a freshman accompanied by a parent recognized Chen Xingzhu and looked very surprised: "Chen Xingruo? No, you're her older sister?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled slightly, gestured slightly, and walked with Xu Jinhuan toward the senior students who were there to greet them.

"Are you from The Voice?"

"Xu Jinhuan?"

"That's true!"

Chen Xingzhu's looks and temperament were attractive enough on their own, and with the girl's reminder earlier, it caused a small commotion at the reception desk. Fortunately, everyone knew that she was a future alumnus or classmate.

In addition, Chen Xingruo is not a big star after all. She has only sung one song. To be honest, her influence may not even be as great as Xu Jinhuan's now, and she has not made any big moves.

"I'll take you to the dormitory."

During the first few days of the semester, the student dormitories were open to the public. Senior students enthusiastically helped guide students there. While chatting on the way, one of them said to Chen Xingzhu, "I saw online that your home is in Beijing, right?"

"I now live in Beijing."

Chen Xingzhu responded softly that she had been to the Renmin University campus with Xu Jinhuan before, but at that time she didn't know where she lived and just wandered around. This time she had to remember the route, so she looked around more carefully.

"You two were high school classmates, right?"

The senior students had obviously heard the two of them talk about "A Little Happiness," and the senior student, unable to hide her gossipy curiosity, asked, "Are you both locals from Beijing?"

"No, we all went to high school in Suicheng."

Xu Jinhuan gave a brief explanation, without mentioning Chen Xingzhu's family situation, only saying that she was also studying in her hometown.

The senior asked, "So you only arrived in Beijing today?"

"No, I've been here for several days."

"So you've been staying in hotels all this time?"

"I came to Beijing right after I finished the college entrance exam and bought an apartment."

"You bought a house..." The senior students looked at each other, unsure what to say for a long time. Finally, one of the senior students asked, "You're buying a house now?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "On the one hand, it's convenient to live here, and on the other hand, I feel that there is still room for housing prices in Beijing to rise, so it can also be considered an investment."

Given his current fame, anyone with the will could easily find information about him online. Being too low-key would be pointless. Besides, with Chen Xingzhu's looks and temperament, she would definitely attract a lot of attention on campus. Being a little high-profile would also be a way of protecting her from harassment.

"Are you really Chen Xingzhu?"

"So beautiful!"

When they arrived at the dormitory, all three roommates were there, as were the parents of one of the girls. They were chatting and had obviously known who their roommates were beforehand through the school's roster. They were discussing whether "Chen Xingzhu" was the same Chen Xingzhu as "Chen Xingruo". When they saw Chen Xingzhu walk in, all three roommates showed surprise and delight.

"Hello, I am Chen Xingzhu."

Chen Xingzhu is no longer as aloof and introverted as before; her social skills have been developed, and she greets people with a smile.

"My name is Zhuo Xiaorong, this is Ling Yuxiu, this is Gao Jingyao, and these are Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao."

Zhuo Xiaorong, who is tall and has a slightly round face, seems to have a cheerful and outgoing personality. She enthusiastically helped with the introductions and then looked at Xu Jinhuan and asked Chen Xingzhu, "Is this your boyfriend?"

"I know your name is Xu Jinhuan, right?"

Gao Jingyao asked gossipily, "I've heard of your novel 'A Little Happiness,' but why did you write it as a tragedy?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Tragedies are more likely to resonate with people; it's good for a bit of a literary flair."

There were four bunk beds with desks underneath, but only one seat near the door was empty. Chen Xingzhu felt embarrassed to ask him to help make the bed, so after chatting for a while, she let him leave first.

Of the three roommates, Zhuo Xiaorong and Gao Jingyao seemed to have straightforward personalities and were not difficult to get along with. Ling Yuxiu, the prettiest of the three, didn't say much and it was hard to tell what her personality was. Overall, Xu Jinhuan had a good impression of the dormitory and didn't need to worry too much.

"Then I'm leaving. Could you make the bed?"

Xu Jinhuan turned to leave, but heard Chen Xingzhu wave to her new roommates and say, "Then I'm leaving."

Xu Jinhuan turned to look at her, and she gave him a questioning look.

Although there was no clear evidence, Xu Jinhuan felt that he understood what she meant: If you come to my school to assert your sovereignty, can't I go to your school to assert my sovereignty?
"Let's go."

This was a reasonable request, so Xu Jinhuan could only smile and shrug, then took her hand and left the dormitory, getting into the car to go to Peking University.

"I'm sending a message!"

Upon arriving at Peking University, Xu Jinhuan first sent a message to Lei Zhihao, as he had promised him beforehand. When he reached the freshman reception area, he saw a tall, muscular man who looked like he was working out looking in his direction. The man then came over to greet him, saying, "President Xu? Welcome, welcome!"

"Senior, this is a school. Don't act like you're being inspected by leaders."

Having chatted on the phone over the past few days, Xu Jinhuan didn't stand on ceremony and jokingly introduced her, saying, "This is my girlfriend, Chen Xingzhu."

"The one who sang 'A Little Happiness'?"

Lei Zhihao had just seen Chen Xingzhu, but didn't dare to look at her for long. Only now did he greet her, "I've seen your show, you're even prettier than on TV!"

Chen Xingzhu explained, "That's my younger sister, I'm the older sister."

"Excuse me."

Lei Zhihao quickly apologized. As he was speaking, other senior students came over to chat. Afterwards, Lei Zhihao and another senior student led him to the dormitory.

Chen Xingzhu seemed to be there to assert her dominance. Even after entering the boys' dormitory, she was still holding hands with Xu Jinhuan and showed no intention of letting go. Xu Jinhuan, of course, did not let go either. Under the watchful eyes of many boys, they arrived at dormitory 702, where they would be staying for the next four years.

Of course, it's hard to say how many days he'll actually stay.

"Fu Zirui, your new roommate has arrived!"

Lei Zhihao seemed to have a good relationship with one of his roommates. When he arrived at the door, he called out to him with a smile and joked, "You all know each other, right? I don't need to introduce you."

"Hello everybody, my name is……"

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

There was only one empty bed in the dormitory, but only two people were there. The boy, named Fu Zirui, was of medium build, wore black-rimmed glasses, and looked refined and handsome. He greeted them with a smile, "We all know you. I even follow you on Weibo."

He introduced himself: "My name is Fu Zirui, I'm from Zhenjiang; this is Yu Ze, from Hunan Province. He's not very talkative, he's reserved, and he was specially recruited."

Yu Ze was sitting at the table reading a book. He turned his head and looked over, but didn't say anything. Only when he heard this did he give a polite smile.

"There's another one named Zeng Bin, a local from Beijing. He's gone out now and should be back this afternoon."

Fu Zirui seemed quite talkative. He gave a brief introduction to the dormitory before turning to Chen Xingzhu, who was already quite eye-catching, but even more so when she stood hand in hand with Xu Jinhuan in the dormitory: "Is this your girlfriend?"

Xu Jinhuan introduced them with a smile, and Fu Zirui laughed and said, "Actually, I know them. I watched The Voice with my parents and also saw the gossip about you two online."

"I'll go buy something first."

Xu Jinhuan brought almost nothing with her and had to buy everything herself. Fu Zirui offered, "I also need to buy some things. I'll go with you two."

"Thank you."

Yu Ze refused to go out, so Xu Jinhuan went with Fu Zirui to buy the necessary items. After returning to the dormitory, they found that their only unfamiliar roommate, Zeng Bin, was also there. (End of Chapter)
