Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 454 [443] Overslept
"..."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless for a long time, with only one thought remaining in his mind:
I'm so awesome!
I guessed it right!

After all, her mother had only shown a slight abnormality last time, and Xu Jinhuan didn't expect that she would guess correctly.

But before he could feel proud, he realized an even more important problem:

Mom really found out!
This made him feel that although his leg wasn't broken yet, it was almost as good as broken.

From my mother's perspective, she would most likely be happy to see this happen, but now it's not just Song Zhiyu herself; her maternal grandparents also support this marriage between relatives.

And Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing too!

"Are you scared?"

Song Zhiyu was nestled in his arms. After saying those words, she deliberately leaned close to his chest to listen to his heartbeat. She could clearly feel his nervousness. In the darkness, she looked up and asked in a somewhat expectant tone, "Is it?"

"How can it be!"

Xu Jinhuan refused to admit it, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I'm her son, and she and my dad don't even have a secret account, so she definitely won't do anything to me..."

Just as Song Zhiyu was about to reply, Xu Jinhuan changed the subject: "Of course, your father is another story..."

"As long as you know."

Song Zhiyu gave a soft hum, then gently comforted her, "Don't worry, it's alright."

She paused for two seconds, then whispered, "Besides, he doesn't have time to care about me right now."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Jinhuan sensed something was off about her tone and instinctively lowered her head. Since she couldn't see anything in the darkness, she patted her head and asked, "Is something wrong?"

“My classmate there told me a few days ago that he saw my dad with a woman,”

Song Zhiyu's voice sounded like she was pouting, "The kind that's very intimate."

"well,"

Xu Jinhuan sighed first, then advised, "Your dad is still young, it's normal. Try to think positively, he won't neglect you because of this."

"It's all your fault!"

Song Zhiyu's sudden change of heart caught Xu Jinhuan off guard, and she couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Wasn't it you who made him buy that coin?"

Song Zhiyu said coquettishly, "He's making so much money all at once, of course he'll get cocky..."

"That's not much, it's not like I make a living from it."

"That's not much? It's increased more than tenfold..."

“Your dad already has a pretty high income, so there are bound to be people eyeing him.”

"Hey!"

Song Zhiyu suddenly perked up, seemingly thinking of something, "You know what? Someone in our class actually thinks people in North America don't love money as much as people in China..."

She scoffed, "I don't know what's the point of having a brain. Even a primary school student should know what capitalism means, right?"

"You'll get used to it eventually,"

Xu Jinhuan smiled reassuringly, "Even if it's one in ten thousand idiots, there are still 140,000 in China."

Are you sleepy?

"Sleepy."

"I am not sleepy."

"Okay, I'm not sleepy either."

"hey-hey!"

Song Zhiyu sounded very energetic and began to chatter on: "Do you know that many people in our school admire you, and your former teachers often mention your name..."

"Really?" "Yes, yes! Our history teacher, he was saying that you used to be like this and that..."

"What's it called?"

"Zhao Yanping, do you remember her?"

"Not impressed."

"She only teaches first-year high school classes. I asked my aunt, and she said you were very immature in your first year of high school, and your grades were terrible!"

"I call that hiding my true abilities..."

"Anyway, I know now that those teachers were just bragging..."

Although Xu Jinhuan had been trying to restrain himself, the two of them had already gone this far, so things would naturally fall into place; it was just a matter of when the "water" would come.

From this perspective, at least for now, Song Zhiyu is the one who is being treated the most unfairly. They can't even see each other normally. Therefore, although Xu Jinhuan was a little tired after driving all day, he still tried his best to cheer up and chat with her without being perfunctory.

"My grades only improved in my second year of high school. Before that, my grades were terrible, and I was practically invisible at school."

Xu Jinhuan chatted with her for a while and actually became more talkative, so he took the initiative to tell her, "Later, after I got to know Chen Xingzhu better, I asked her, 'We went to the same school since junior high, but she never knew I existed...'"

After he finished speaking, he did not hear Song Zhiyu respond, so he waited for a while. In the quiet of the cold winter night, he could only hear the little girl's even breathing, which made her seem to have fallen asleep.

"You fell asleep?"

Xu Jinhuan lowered her voice and asked, "You're asleep, so I'll go to sleep too. It's not that I don't want to keep you company..."

He waited a while longer, and seeing that Song Zhiyu didn't react, he realized that she was really asleep. So he adjusted his position, closed his eyes, and subconsciously tried to think about something, but before his mind could even process anything, he fell into a deep sleep.

A few minutes later, Song Zhiyu, who had been asleep, turned her head in the darkness, her beautiful eyes glistening and sparkling in the dim light.

"Humph~"

In the darkness, she let out a soft hum, then lay back down, muttering under her breath, "Since you're so sleepy but still kept me company while we chatted, I'll let you off the hook and let you go to sleep early..."

After muttering to himself, he wriggled around in bed a couple more times, found a comfortable position, and then closed his eyes contentedly.

When Xu Jinhuan woke up the next morning, his heart skipped a beat, because Song Zhiyu hadn't left and was still fast asleep on his shoulder.

‘It’s over! ’

Xu Jinhuan saw that the room was lit up, and without checking the time on her phone, she knew it must be quite late.

By now, Mom and Dad would definitely have gotten up long ago.

'This time, Mom couldn't pretend she didn't know anymore!'

Ignoring the soreness and numbness in her shoulder caused by Song Zhiyu's pillow, Xu Jinhuan began to worry about her legs, subconsciously tensing her leg muscles and feeling the presence of her legs.

After all, you might not be able to feel it later!

"Only one!"

After mourning in advance, Xu Jinhuan tried not to aggravate the pain of numbness in her shoulder. She kicked Song Zhiyu's bare little feet inside the blanket and called to her in a low voice, "Zhizhi! Wake up! If you don't wake up, you won't see me again..."

"Hmm~"

Song Zhiyu mumbled incoherently through her nose, groggily opened her eyes, and her delicate and sweet face showed a deep sleepiness and confusion. She blinked and then hummed in response.

"Get up quickly."

Xu Jinhuan sat up with a pained expression, picked up his phone and glanced at it, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, it's 8:20!"

"what?"

Song Zhiyu was also startled, and seeing that she had suddenly woken up, she quickly sat up and tidied her long hair that had been messed up while sleeping. "What should we do? Will Aunt and Uncle find out?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Jinhuan looked at her suspiciously, "Didn't you say my mom found out a long time ago?"
