Rebirth Must Be Happy

"You two better not let anything slip!"

After secretly congratulating herself on her intelligence and methods, Song Zhiyu sent a message in the group, reminding everyone, "Don't ruin the great situation I've worked so hard to create."

"A very favorable situation?"

Chen Xingruo couldn't help but pout and mutter under her breath, "I feel like watching three little mice trying their best to dress up nicely, eat their fill, and then racking their brains to get themselves eaten by the cat, all while thinking they're so clever..."

"If you don't want to talk, you don't have to."

Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but scold her sister, because she herself was one of those three self-righteous, foolish mice, and clearly fell within her sister's scope of ridicule.

Most importantly, she couldn't refute it.

In essence, whether it was her or Song Zhiyu, what they did was exactly as her sister said.

"Hey, I've got a new idea!"

Chen Xingruo's eyes lit up as she thought of the novel she had conceived. "I'll write about a few silly mice, just like you, self-righteous and clever, always trying to cause trouble, but unaware that what they're doing is actually making it easier for the cat to eat them..."

Her thoughts wandered, "Like bananas, no need to wash, no mess on your hands, easy to peel, and oysters, which come with their own containers... You three, oh no, the mice I'm going to write about, also need to do all these things for the cat, so that the cat can eat them with just its mouth and belly..."

Chen Xingzhu rolled her eyes at her sister, ignored her, and typed a message to Xu Jinhuan: "Yeah, I'm home."

Xu Jinhuan: "You replied so promptly!"

He suspected that the two had planned it together, because just as he was replying to Chen Xingzhu's message, Xie Wanqing also replied: "Just arrived."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "So long?"

Xie Wanqing: "There are many red lights on the road."

In fact, she saw Song Zhiyu and Chen Xingzhu's chat history in the group after parking her car. After understanding the situation, she prepared what to say if Xu Jinhuan asked before sending him the message.

She knew she wasn't very bright, not as calm as Chen Xingzhu, nor as quick-witted as Song Zhiyu, so she could only try to prepare as much as possible to avoid ruining their plans.

Although deep down she didn't think this plan was necessary.
Although she is the oldest in many ways, including age, she is actually the most gentle and the most likely to trust and rely on others. She felt that Xu Jinhuan would not be the kind of person Chen Xingzhu was worried about, so there was no need to force him to face more difficulties.

But since they both said so, let's just do it. Anyway, even if Xu Jinhuan knew the truth, he wouldn't have any objections.

Even though they deliberately increased the difficulty, in terms of the matter itself, they essentially made the originally incredibly difficult challenge pass by Xu Jinhuan.

No matter how much difficulty is increased, it won't change the fact that we'll "help him pass the level directly".

Therefore, she was willing to cooperate with Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu to do this, and she really did it seriously, making preparations and trying her best not to give herself away.

She knew she wasn't that smart, but she also understood one thing:
Her relationship with Xu Jinhuan was more important, but maintaining good relationships with Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu was more difficult.

The former is the foundation of future family life, the lower limit, while the latter determines the upper limit of this extended family life, whether the extended family is harmonious and congenial, and whether each person in it is happy and content.

'Was it because you argued with Xingzhu that you were delayed?'

The timing was clearly off. Hearing her say that, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but speculate. After thinking for a moment, he made a video call to her.

Xie Wanqing was typing when she saw that he had made a video call. After thinking for a moment, she got out of the car and walked towards the dormitory while answering the call.

"Hey?"

Xu Jinhuan's face appeared on the phone screen. "Has your sister arrived at the dorm yet?"

"No, I'm on my way... I'll plug in my earphones."

Xie Wanqing walked on campus. It was the National Day holiday, and the campus was not as lively as usual, but there were still many pedestrians on the campus road. She was wearing a white tank top, with a light blue knitted cardigan over it, and sky blue jeans, which fully showed off her voluptuous and proud figure. Her dignified and beautiful face and charming temperament attracted the attention of students nearby.

Her previous style of dress was very conservative, and she focused her energy on how to hide her enviable curves. This was mainly because she received too many strange looks at school because of her figure during her childhood.

Some people even thought she was frivolous and easy to pursue just because of her figure, and some female classmates had a lot of gossip about her because of this.

This left a deep shadow on her, and even her current weak personality is partly due to this.

Fortunately, her family was well-off, which naturally made her immune to some attacks and harassment. In addition, her figure, which was almost like a "genetic lottery," was inherited from Tao Menghua, who had experience in this area and provided guidance and comfort to a certain extent, which helped her get through the more difficult stage of adolescence relatively smoothly.

After getting to know Xu Jinhuan, or more precisely, after discovering that Xu Jinhuan liked to steal glances at her, she began to realize her advantage in this area.
Before this, the attention and gaze of others were a complete burden to her, but with Xu Jinhuan, she felt the advantages and charm of this figure.

What truly helped her let go of her inner turmoil was the communication they had over the past few months after their relationship truly broke through. Xu Jinhuan no longer needed to hide his LSP soul, which gradually transformed Xie Wanqing's initial shyness and surprise into pride and relief.

This led to a gradual change in her creative style. She no longer felt inferior or shy about it, and could hold her head high and wear the clothes she liked without worrying about attracting attention.

Even if others notice, she understands it's envy or covetousness. She's learning to enjoy the former, and learning to ignore the latter, since he already belongs to her alone.

In a sense, she herself didn't belong to it, because she had never experienced any benefits or convenience it brought, only burdens and inconveniences. It seemed that all the benefits were provided to him.

"Why is my sister going back to school to stay today?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't directly ask her about the conflict with Chen Xingzhu. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she couldn't ask directly. "Are you afraid I'll go over there again tonight?"

"No, I just want to go back to school and live there."

Xie Wanqing chuckled inwardly, trying to hide her lighthearted and cheerful mood, and attempting to appear as if she had a falling out with Chen Xingzhu. "It's rare for Zhizhi to come to the capital, so you should spend some time with her."

"I was just worried that my sister would be unhappy."

Xu Jinhuan chatted with her for a while. Xie Wanqing initially showed signs of being down, but she quickly forgot about it. When they arrived at the dormitory building, she didn't rush upstairs and strolled around chatting with him for more than ten minutes.

Xu Jinhuan didn't ask her if she had a conflict with Chen Xingzhu, but after confirming that she was in a good mood, he hung up the phone and then sent a message to Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu was much calmer than Xie Wanqing. She knew her own personality in his eyes, so she didn't need to pretend at all and could just act as usual.

Even if they did have a fight or a conflict, her behavior would still be normal. "What's going on?"

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Xu Jinhuan couldn't see anything unusual about Chen Xingzhu. She even mentioned Xie Wanqing, appearing very calm and normal.

'wrong,'

After the chat ended, Chen Xingzhu reflected on the conversation and felt that she had given herself away. She shouldn't have brought up Xie Wanqing just to appear normal.

'He must have become suspicious...'

Chen Xingzhu pondered to himself, thinking that with Xu Jinhuan's keen insight and keen observation, he would definitely be able to discover this situation.

'But it's okay, he probably thinks it's because I had a fight with my sister and I feel guilty, that's why he did that...'

She thought about it for a moment, then decided it wasn't a big problem and stopped thinking about it.

"wrong!"

Xu Jinhuan thought about the whole thing together and felt that something was not quite right. He had known Chen Xingzhu for two lifetimes and knew her personality quite well.

Although Chen Xingzhu's personality has changed a lot since his rebirth, some aspects remain the same, such as the argument that Zhizhi recounted, which was very strange.

When faced with a situation, Chen Xingzhu is unlikely to run away. She has her pride, but she also has her principles for doing things.

Once she has thought things through and made a decision, no matter how incredible the matter or decision may seem to outsiders, she will resolutely carry it out.

For example, she was deeply hurt in her past life and no longer trusted human nature. Therefore, no matter how hard you try to truly enter her heart, there is always a barrier between you.
For example, in this life she believed that she could not "enjoy the kindness she showed her while pretending not to know that she liked her," so she took the initiative to confess her feelings, and it was a public confession.

For example, she felt that their relationship could go further and become more intimate, so before the start of the semester, she took the initiative to plan their first time together.

Xie Wanqing didn't come back with them at the time, which was most likely arranged beforehand.

This is Chen Xingzhu: aloof, reserved, and self-loving, yet also decisive and resolute.

Since that's the case, and she already knows about what happened between her and Xie Wanqing, and has decided to accept it, why would she still cause trouble with Xie Wanqing?

Given her personality, she should try to improve her relationship with Xie Wanqing.

With her intelligence and rationality, and Xie Wanqing's gentleness and weakness, it wouldn't be difficult for her to completely "control" Xie Wanqing.

How could there be repeated conflicts, arguments, and disagreements?

Something was wrong from the very beginning!
Xu Jinhuan sat at his desk, opened a mind mapping software, and listed out the possible developments of the whole matter.

Assuming what Zhizhi said is true, and assuming that Chen Xingzhu and the other woman did indeed feel disgusted after discovering that she was two-timing them, and that this has continued to this day, leading to their argument today, although this is not very consistent with Chen Xingzhu's personality, it is normal and understandable.

On the other hand, starting from Chen Xingzhu's personality, assuming that our judgment of her personality is correct, and assuming that she can indeed completely control the "situation", what would happen then?

'Are those two—no, all three of them—working together to put on a show for me?'

This wasn't hard to guess; Xu Jinhuan quickly realized the possibility: 'They're afraid I'll get it too easily, especially since they know about those girls on Weibo, they're afraid I'll become greedy... so they're deliberately making things difficult for me?'

Although this behavior is somewhat outrageous, it is also reasonable, and the logic is self-consistent.

Which of these two completely different guesses is closer to the truth?

Xu Jinhuan pondered for a while longer. Although there was no clear evidence, he was undoubtedly more inclined to believe the latter.

If Chen Xingzhu hadn't taken the initiative to plan the "sacrifice," he might not have been so confident. But since Chen Xingzhu had taken the initiative to do such a thing, it wasn't so hard to accept that she had helped him resolve and suppress the conflicts in the "harem."

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He had been a little uneasy at first, but now he felt a sudden sense of relief and could even understand why Song Zhiyu was lying on purpose.

Although he has always felt uneasy and was reluctant to face this matter, judging from the situation over the past year or so, it is highly likely that Zhizhi is also one of them.

Therefore, it is entirely understandable that she lied and stirred up trouble to make herself believe that Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing were having a conflict.

In this matter, the interests of the three of them are completely aligned.

'So what should I do?'

After thinking it over for a moment, Xu Jinhuan quickly made a decision: to cooperate with their act!
Because making them feel at ease is also in my own interest.

No matter what method you use, as long as they feel at ease, that's enough.

Since they want me to think they've had a fight, and want me to know that this is difficult and not so easy for them to resolve, I'll just do as they wish.

"I've got a great idea!"

Song Zhiyu was playing on her phone in the living room when she couldn't resist sending a message to the buyer group on Aliwangwang, "It's not enough for just the two of you to have a fight, I want to argue with you too... Next time we eat, let's not talk to each other, that way he'll definitely ask, and we'll just pretend then, okay?"

Xie Wanqing: "What excuse will you give this time?"

"Are you all laughing at me?!"

Song Zhiyu said, "Then we'll chat in the WeChat group first, have a fight, and you two bully me together. Later I'll show him the WeChat chat history and say that you two bullied me..."

Xie Wanqing: "Why are we bullying you?"

"You're all the villainous supporting characters! I'm the innocent female lead now, so of course the villainous supporting characters have to bully the female lead. Otherwise, how can the story progress?"

Song Zhiyu said confidently, "Let me think about it some more and find a reasonable reason... Many times, conflicts are accumulated from details and then erupt from a very insignificant little thing."

"..."

Chen Xingyu was also on holiday and resting at home. When Chen Xingzhu returned home, she played with him for a while before picking up her phone and seeing the message from Song Zhiyu. She immediately felt a headache coming on.

Although Song Zhiyu's words weren't entirely without merit, Chen Xingzhu had a strong intuition that if Song Zhiyu continued to cause trouble like this, things would definitely go wrong!
Just as she thought she was clever and resourceful in dragging Xie Wanqing into this mess, things will definitely take an unexpected turn... (End of Chapter)
