Rebirth Must Be Happy

"No, you..."

Xu Jinhuan felt he couldn't take it anymore, so he reached out and pressed on the little girl's shoulder, pushing her away a bit. "What do you want to do?"

"Think~"

The little girl's answer was a bit suggestive, so much so that Xu Jinhuan was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't make me get 404ed!"

As a severe victim of 404 errors, Mr. Xu is now traumatized by them.

"Aren't you afraid of being censored for your relationships with Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu?"

Perhaps because of the darkness and the cold weather, and because Xu Jinhuan didn't like turning on the air conditioning, Song Zhiyu still hugged him tightly, saying with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Why is it okay for them but not for me? This isn't fair..."

"How old are they? How old are you?!"

Xu Jinhuan wanted to push her away, but then realized the little girl was hugging her too tightly and he was afraid of hurting her, so he let her hold on. "Be good, when you grow up..."

"I've grown up!"

Seeing that he was no longer resisting, Song Zhiyu did not restrain herself, but instead went even further, burrowing deeper into him, hugging him tightly, and even rubbing against him to show proof that she had grown up. Then, she asked shyly, "Am I... grown up?"

"It's grown big! It's grown big!"

Xu Jinhuan was really struggling to cope, so she tried to appease her, "How about this, I don't mind if you sleep here tonight, is that okay? You can get up early tomorrow and go back..."

Speaking of which, she suddenly remembered that it was winter and Song Zhiyu loved to sleep in, so it was unrealistic to ask her to get up early in the morning in the cold air. So she changed her mind and said, "No, you definitely can't get up. You should go back."

"I won't go back."

Song Zhiyu clung to him, refusing to let go, "I'm not leaving tomorrow either, I want my aunt and uncle to see me..."

"You really want to drag me down with you, don't you?"

Xu Jinhuan said helplessly, "Anyway, I'm not afraid of losing face. My parents are unlikely to break my legs, but you will definitely lose face..."

"I'm not afraid!"

The little girl buried her head in his chest, her tone clearly a little shy, yet very firm, "Anyway, Aunt and Uncle won't be able to bear to scold me, they'll definitely scold you, and even if they see us sleeping together, they'll only love me more in the future..."

"..."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless for a moment, because what Song Zhiyu said was indeed true. His parents had always had this idea, although they were later interfered with by Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, but now the matter of Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing has been resolved.

Moreover, it was solved in a way that was even older and more traditional than what my parents thought. This undoubtedly helped my parents solve a difficult problem and also helped them open up their thinking on how to solve it.

In this situation, if Song Zhiyu were to "join" in, her parents might worry about the attitudes of her maternal grandparents and uncle, or they might worry that Song Zhiyu would be wronged, but they would never refuse to let her join.

In that situation, whether it was to give Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing an explanation or to show that they would never accept more people into the family, they would express their stance by means of self-criticism or other means, so as not to worry them.

"I'm sleeping with you tonight anyway!"

Song Zhiyu said in an unreasonable and domineering tone, "Go ahead and throw me down if you dare... but I'll definitely climb back up!"

"……All right."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "Sure enough, boys must take good care of themselves when they're out... and the same goes for them at home."

Song Zhiyu chuckled at his last twist, and said shyly, "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit!"

"Then go to sleep."

The little girl seemed to sense that something was wrong with his body, but instead of moving away, she deliberately moved closer. Xu Jinhuan then shifted his position and moved to the side, otherwise it would have been too unbearable.

Why are you avoiding me?

Although Song Zhiyu had little experience and was very shy, she wasn't afraid of him seeing her in the dark, and Xu Jinhuan had already hidden himself away. That's how it is between men and women; it's always one way or the other. Since Xu Jinhuan had run away, she naturally became bolder and even took the initiative to come over and tease him.

"Don't mess around!"

Xu Jinhuan warned, "Be careful not to get burned!"

"I'm not afraid. Go ahead and burn me if you dare..."

The little girl looked like she couldn't wait to be eaten. "If you don't dare to burn, then don't talk big."

"..."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless and could only struggle to turn to the side, with his back to Song Zhiyu.

But that didn't work either. Song Zhiyu turned to the side, wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her cheek against the back of his neck, and hummed twice in enjoyment, saying, "Your back is so broad and thick... just like your chest."

"Go to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan felt a little uncomfortable. The little girl had indeed grown up. Although she wasn't as big as Xie Wanqing or Chen Xingzhu, she was already quite grown up, at least that was clearly noticeable.

"Won't you feel angry?"

"Nope."

"Then why are you turning your back to me?"

"What do you say?"

"Humph……"

Song Zhiyu stopped talking, but didn't stay silent for long. A few minutes later, she asked again, "If it were Xie Wanqing or Chen Xingzhu, would you also turn your back to them?"

"Ugh……"

Xu Jinhuan sighed, decisively lay down, turned back, and before she could chatter on, he reached out and pulled her head into his arms, saying, "Sleep!"

"Hum..."

Song Zhiyu hummed twice, finally stopping her nagging this time. But just a few minutes later, she asked again, "If I sleep like this on my side, won't my arm go numb in the middle of the night and I wake up?"

"It's good you're awake. Quickly slip back to your room."

Xu Jinhuan gently patted her head, "Go to sleep, be good..."

You haven't said goodnight to me yet.

"Good night."

"Good night~"

The little girl responded with a lingering tone, and this time she finally quieted down. Xu Jinhuan waited for a long time but didn't hear her speak. He couldn't help but feel uneasy if she didn't speak, so he gently said "Hey".

Song Zhiyu did not react.

Xu Jinhuan called out again, "Zhizhi~"

Song Zhiyu still didn't react.

In the pitch-black darkness, where nothing could be seen, Xu Jinhuan listened carefully and saw that her breathing was even, as if she had fallen asleep. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He quietly adjusted his posture, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Although he was asleep, the fact that Song Zhiyu was sleeping in his bed kept weighing on his mind. Xu Jinhuan didn't sleep very soundly. He woke up groggily and found that Song Zhiyu had changed her position. She was nestled in his arms with her back to him, with one of his arms around her neck and the other hand on her slender waist.

What time is it?

The thought flashed through Xu Jinhuan's mind in a daze. She quietly pulled out one hand, reached to the bedside table, took the watch that Song Zhiyu had given her, and checked the time.

5:42
'Thankfully, we made it in time...'

Xu Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief. By the dim light of his watch, he saw that Song Zhiyu was sleeping soundly. He was a little reluctant to wake her, but he put down his watch and then reached out to pinch her cheek.

Didn't wake up.

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to continue with her, Song Zhiyu seemed to sense something in her sleep and suddenly shifted her body, pressing herself even closer to him.

So, a place she had teased the night before was teased again in her sleep.

Moreover, since it was morning and he was more energetic after a night's rest, he was even more intense.

This time, without him having to do anything, Song Zhiyu woke up on her own, instinctively reaching out to grab the thing that was disturbing her sleep, and then her body visibly stiffened.

"Can you let go now?"

Xu Jinhuan was experiencing a mix of pain and pleasure, along with a thrill and enjoyment that was hard to describe to others. He said, "Get up and go back to your room."

"..."

The little girl quickly let go of his hand as if she'd been electrocuted, but didn't make a sound or get up, pretending to be asleep. Xu Jinhuan said, "It's almost six o'clock, my parents might get up if we don't leave soon."

"I fell asleep,"

After a few seconds, the little girl probably realized she couldn't keep up the act any longer, and whispered, "The princess is asleep, and she needs a kiss from the prince to wake her up..."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, looking like he was being forced into a corner, "Then it's settled, the princess will definitely wake up after being kissed, right?"

Song Zhiyu stopped talking, but you could feel her body move slightly, as if she was nodding, and then she turned over and lay flat on her back.

Xu Jinhuan moved closer in the darkness, first touching her hair, then gently kissing her smooth forehead.

"No..."

Song Zhiyu muttered softly, thinking he was just brushing her off, but then she felt his warm breath moving down to her lips. Her whole body tensed up involuntarily, and her sense of touch was magnified many times in the darkness, making it clear that he was getting closer to her.

A light touch of the lips.

It was a completely different feeling from that night on Bright Summit in Huangshan.

"are you awake?"

Xu Jinhuan kissed her gently, trying to restrain his urge to continue, striving to give her a romantic and beautiful impression, and asked softly.

"Hmm~"

Song Zhiyu nodded gently, her tone a mix of coquettishness and playfulness, "I'm awake, but I don't want to get up."

"three minutes."

"Um……"

She considered it for a moment, then said, "Okay."

After agreeing, she turned around and leaned closer. Xu Jinhuan pulled her into his arms and sighed softly, "I really don't want to get up. It's so warm in the bed."

"And I."

She added softly.

"Ah."

"Is it more comfortable to hold me, or to hold Chen Xingzhu?"

"Uh……"

"If you don't say anything, then holding Xie Wanqing is the most comfortable thing."

"so smart!"

"No, give me a different answer..."

"Okay, you're the most comfortable."

"Uh-huh!"

"It's time, get up."

"I don't want to get up."

“What you say doesn’t mean what you say, right?”

"Then promise me one more thing."

"what?"

"When you wake up tomorrow morning, you have to pretend that nothing happened tonight."

"You've already gotten into my bed, how can I pretend nothing happened?"

"You have to promise me, or I won't get up."

"……Fine."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and couldn't help but pinch her cheek again, "So you do know how to be shy?"

"I'm naturally shy."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan agreed to everything, "Get up."

"let me think again……"

"Any other conditions?"

"Gone."

"Then get up."

"Hmm... let me gather my courage."

Song Zhiyu snuggled in his arms for a while longer, then finally took a deep breath and said, "I'm getting up!"

She let out a long breath, threw off the covers and sat up. She scrambled to her feet, ignoring Xu Jinhuan's whispered instruction to "put on some clothes," and slipped on her slippers. She darted out of Xu Jinhuan's room like a monkey-like shadow, closing the door behind her.

In the darkness, Xu Jinhuan vaguely heard a "meow" outside, which seemed to be Xiao Guai complaining to her that she was alone in the room tonight.

After all, the weather is getting cold, and cats need their owners to warm their beds. Especially since last night there were two nice, soft owners to warm their beds, but tonight there are none. The contrast is too great.

"Ugh……"

Xu Jinhuan sighed. Although there had been a long buffer period and the groundwork laid by Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, he was still a little conflicted and confused, unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

"I didn't do anything, so why am I in 'sage mode'?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't hesitate for long before quickly reaffirming his scumbag mentality. He then, in a slightly melodramatic tone, mimicked the inner monologues of male protagonists in novels, muttering to himself, "In this life, I don't ask for a next life, nor do I question my past. I only look at the present, and I only seek a clear conscience..."

At least for now, this is the best outcome for him; otherwise, he would be heartbroken to see any of them marry someone else.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingruo's image suddenly popped into his mind again, because if judged by this standard, he would also feel very uncomfortable if Chen Xingruo married someone else.

If Chen Xingruo marries someone else, wouldn't that mean Chen Xingzhu also marries someone else?

It's because the two sisters look exactly alike!

"I can't think about it, I can't think about it!"

Xu Jinhuan quickly calmed herself down and stopped overthinking. "That scumbag has gone too far. He has no bottom line or principles. I can't be a beast!"

But if you think about it from another angle, what's the big deal if you've already been a scumbag, then being a beast too?
Various thoughts battled in Xu Jinhuan's mind. He didn't know how long he struggled with these thoughts before finally falling into a deep sleep again.

"Xu Jinhuan!"

He didn't know when, but a familiar, pleasant voice came from beside him. He opened his eyes and saw sunlight streaming into the room. Chen Xingzhu, wearing a down jacket, was standing in front of the bed looking at him. "Get up, or you'll miss your chance to get back to Beijing..."

"You're here so early in the morning?"

Xu Jinhuan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Are you dreaming?"

"Whether it's a dream or not, why don't you try it and see?"

Chen Xingzhu's eyes were like water, and she revealed a hint of coquettishness even before he could tease her. Xu Jinhuan was already feeling a bit uncomfortable from Song Zhiyu's actions last night, so he didn't have time to think and directly pinned Chen Xingzhu down.

'This is still in daylight, which is practically like having the lights on, so I can finally see clearly...'

He thought to himself, eager to get started, but he was too excited to take a closer look. Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

'Oh no, it's only outside!'

Xu Jinhuan intended to pretend he didn't know, but Chen Xingzhu disagreed and insisted that he go and see, so Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Chen Xingzhu, wearing a white down jacket, rush over and fall on top of him.

Xu Jinhuan was stunned. He turned to look at Chen Xingzhu, who was naked on the bed, then looked down at Chen Xingzhu, who was dressed, and suddenly realized:
This isn't Chen Xingzhu, this is Chen Xingruo!

She was right outside the door. Because of the telepathic connection between twins, at such close range, she almost perfectly shared Chen Xingzhu's feelings just now. So her legs went weak, and she couldn't stand up, collapsing to the ground... (End of this chapter)
