Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 445 [434] Making Sister Wanqing Tired

"It's a total of 780 kilometers. Including rest stops, and assuming a ten-hour journey, we'll depart at noon and arrive home around 10 p.m.

After convincing Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, Xu Jinhuan began to make more specific plans. Actually, there wasn't much to plan; he just needed to get on the bus and come back before the three-day holiday ended.

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu had no objections, so on the last day of 2013, after class in the morning, Xu Jinhuan drove Chen Xingruo's Land Rover and took Xie Wanqing to the Renmin University campus.

The three of them ate lunch in the cafeteria, then got on the bus and embarked on their journey south to go home—or more accurately, to pick up their dog.

"It's not cheap at all when you calculate it like that!"

As they entered the highway, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but mutter to himself that the fuel consumption of this Land Rover Range Rover was even higher than that of Chen Xingzhu's S500. The round trip would cost one or two thousand yuan just for fuel. "It won't be long before winter vacation starts, and I'll have to drive it home with me then... Just thinking about it is exhausting."

This year, New Year's Day and the Spring Festival were only 30 days apart. Northern universities usually have an earlier winter break, so Xu Jinhuan and his classmates had to prepare for their final exams almost as soon as they brought their dogs home, and then the winter break started.

This was also why he was reluctant to make this trip before, but Xie Wanqing wanted to go back, and Song Zhiyu also wanted him to go back, so it was a way to strengthen their relationship.

"Then you can take the high-speed rail or a plane, which is more convenient."

Chen Xingzhu, sitting in the back seat, said, "Driving is so tiring, let Sister Wanqing drive."

Xie Wanqing: ? ? ?

She couldn't help but turn around and say reproachfully, "Why should I be the one to drive when it's tiring to drive?"

"Because you feel sorry for him."

Chen Xingzhu answered with such confidence that Xu Jinhuan began to wonder if this was Chen Xingruo or if she was possessed by Song Zhiyu. "Then just drive."

Xie Wanqing asked, "Why don't you open it?"

"I can't!"

"..."

Xie Wanqing was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a couple of seconds of silence, she said, "I won't open it either."

He paused for a moment, then added, "You can learn it too. Xingruo learned it, didn't she?"

"..."

Chen Xingzhu looked at her but didn't say anything.

Xu Jinhuan finally couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Xingzhu means that you can play along with her being sarcastic or pretend to be really angry and dissatisfied, but on the surface you have to act very polite and gentle... You've done it backwards. You're pretending to be angry, but even a blind person can see that you're not angry at all."

"..."

Xie Wanqing was momentarily speechless, so she turned to look at Chen Xingzhu, her eyes asking in unison, "Is what he said true?"

Chen Xingzhu responded to her with a silent and helpless look in her eyes.

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, we won't get angry over something like this, right?"

Chen Xingzhu then asked, "You seem to really want us to argue?"

"No, I'm not Zhizhi, I don't like to sow discord."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I'm just reminding you, after all, your breasts are too big."

You're saying I'm brainless?

Xie Wanqing was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. She raised her hand and threatened, "Do you believe I'll slap you?"

Chen Xingzhu reminded him, "Wait until we rest at the service area before calling." "Sure, why should I? What am I afraid of?"

Xu Jinhuan sneered, his resolve unwavering, "I refuse to believe you'd be willing to kill me!"

Chen Xingzhu rolled her eyes, knowing he was focused on driving and wouldn't see it, and didn't care.

Xie Wanqing scoffed, "That's hard to say... Slow down."

"You'll feel better now, run around more, it'll be fine."

Xu Jinhuan drove for three hours in the first section and felt that his concentration was not so good, so he stopped at a service area to rest.

While chatting casually along the way, Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu seemed to have forgotten about their earlier threat to beat him up. After getting out of the car, they saw Xu Jinhuan stretching and kicking his legs. Although he wasn't as unrestrained as Xu Jinhuan, he was still moving his limbs slightly to relieve muscle fatigue from sitting for so long.

"go……"

"what!"

Xu Jinhuan stretched out a bit and was about to ask them if they needed to go to the restroom when she heard a high-pitched female scream from the side.

All three were startled. Turning around, they saw a young girl in a gray down jacket get out of a car next to them, staring wide-eyed at Chen Xingzhu with a look of surprise and delight. Then she turned to the middle-aged woman who got out of the car on the other side and shouted, "Mom! A celebrity! There's a celebrity..."

The shout drew the attention of most people in the service area parking lot, and the girl, unable to contain her excitement, jumped up and down twice, pointing at Chen Xingzhu and shouting, "Chen Xingruo! It's Chen Xingruo!!"

"Ah! Really!"

The mother looked to be nearly forty years old, but she was also excited and thrilled, just like her daughter. She instinctively walked over to Chen Xingzhu and asked, "Are you Chen Xingruo?"

"No, I'm her older sister."

Although this wasn't the first time Chen Xingzhu had encountered such a situation, she hadn't expected something to happen in the service area, and the mother and daughter seemed a bit too agitated.

This was the first time she had encountered such an elderly fan who was so excited. However, thanks to her subconscious aloofness in front of strangers, she appeared perfectly normal, showing almost no difference. She replied politely, but with a naturally aloof tone, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm sorry."

"oh oh!"

The mother and daughter clearly knew that Chen Xingruo had a twin sister, and had most likely seen Chen Xingzhu on TV. They immediately understood what was going on, but their excitement and joy did not diminish at all; in fact, they seemed even happier. They ran over and asked, "Can we take a picture with you?"

"Excuse me."

Xu Jinhuan stepped in to help Chen Xingzhu refuse, saying, "She doesn't like taking photos with people, I'm really sorry."

"You! You are..."

The young girl seemed to only notice Xu Jinhuan at this moment, and her eyes widened again. "You're Xu Jinhuan?"

She ran over and seemed to instinctively reach for Xu Jinhuan's arm, but thankfully she realized her mistake in time and pulled her hand away, saying, "We've played all three of your games with my mom. We were just playing them together in the car just now... Can we take a picture with you?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan was caught off guard. He didn't expect that helping Chen Xingzhu out of a predicament would actually get him involved. However, he didn't mind. Besides, he had already refused someone once, so he naturally felt a sense of compensation for the second time. Therefore, he said, "Okay."

"Mom, take the picture for me!"

The young girl immediately approached Xu Jinhuan, tilted her head and made a peace sign, asking her mother to take a picture. The aunt took a picture of her daughter, then came over and handed the phone to her daughter, and also took a picture with Xu Jinhuan.

"Sister Xingruo, could you take a picture for the three of us?"

After the young girl finished taking pictures for her mother, she asked Chen Xingzhu for help, but she called her "Sister Xingruo" instead of still thinking of her as Chen Xingruo. It was just a shortened form of "Xingruo's sister".
