Rebirth Must Be Happy

The next few days are still the peak of the return travel period, and the road to the airport is a bit congested. Therefore, although Xu Jinhuan skipped work half an hour early to leave, Xie Wanqing had already landed by the time he arrived at the airport.

"Welcome, welcome! You two have come a long way and must be tired!"

Xie Wanqing came with Xie Zhiqiang. In order not to be beaten by her former best friend and now brother-in-law, Xu Jinhuan naturally could not do anything intimate. Therefore, when he saw the siblings coming, he only welcomed them with a joking tone, just like the enthusiastic attitude of welcoming international friends in 08.

"It's less than two hours, and I'm not tired at all."

Seeing that he didn't make any intimate moves, Xie Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She tried her best to hide it, but still unconsciously revealed a bit of coquettishness as she scolded him.

Xiao Qiang, who was standing next to him, just pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

He was still clearly unhappy with his old classmate who obviously wanted to become his brother-in-law and had actually taken a crucial step in doing so, but unfortunately, he was standing next to his sister.
Xie Wanqing is gentle to everyone, so gentle that even when she is fierce, she has no deterrent effect. However, she has a deterrent effect on Xie Zhiqiang that seems to be only explainable by bloodline suppression. Therefore, he can only hide his dissatisfaction with Xu Jinhuan in front of his sister.

"That must have been hard work."

Xu Jin stepped forward and took the suitcase from Xie Wanqing. As for Xiao Qiang... since he's called Xiao Qiang, he should naturally be a strong man!

Xie Zhiqiang naturally didn't expect him to help him with his luggage. In fact, when he realized that he didn't need to help his sister with her suitcase, he was quite surprised to find that Xu Jinhuan, the traitor who said "I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my brother-in-law," actually had some use.

"Ding"

Xie Zhiqiang didn't want to see the disgusting scene of his sister and Xu Jinhuan exchanging flirtatious glances, which they thought were well hidden. He pushed his suitcase and quickened his pace to the front. Hearing his phone ring in his pocket, he took it out and glanced at it.

He is now in charge of most of the daily operations of the "Qingfanghao" online store. In addition to his share dividends, he also receives an extra salary, which is not much, only 8000 yuan per month.

Even in Beijing in 2014, this salary was not low. After all, in such a big city, you can't use "average salary" to measure the salary level of most people.

But compared to Xu Jinhuan's salary, it's really just "nothing special".

However, this 8000 yuan was money he could freely spend, and with his parents still giving him pocket money as usual, his monthly disposable income exceeded 10,000 yuan.

This is definitely a wealthy person among today's college students. Although Xie Zhiqiang's sense of superiority was suppressed because of Xu Jinhuan, who was such a prominent "other people's child," he did not show off much and deliberately kept a low profile. However, there were still some things about him that made him less sociable.

For example, after the iPhone 5S was released, he immediately paid extra to buy the "gold" version, getting his hands on it even before Xu Jinhuan and the others.

In Beijing's universities, there are definitely students like this in every school, but they are undoubtedly "nouveau riche" in their own small circles.

Even after losing weight and improving his appearance, Xie Zhiqiang didn't have anything memorable about him that his classmates would notice or remember. He was busy with his online store and didn't want other students to find out, so he rented a small apartment outside under the guise of a part-time job. His relationships with his classmates weren't very close. After a semester, his phone was still the only thing most of his classmates remembered about him.

This sometimes made Xie Zhiqiang feel that he had vaguely grasped Xu Jinhuan's "realm"—in short, what others marveled at and envied was something that was completely insignificant to him.

To put it another way, things that are insignificant to oneself are enough to amaze and envy others.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so good...

The only downside is that, although he's rich now and not as fat as before, he still doesn't have a girlfriend...

The message preview on the lock screen isn't from a QQ or WeChat message, but from a group message. There's no way around it; after a year of university, contact with high school classmates gradually loosens, and he doesn't have any new friends in university. Even with the best phone on the market, the number of people sending him messages won't increase.

Therefore, Xie Zhiqiang did not mute most of his classmates' groups in order to get more message notifications on his phone. He even left notifications on many apps open, so as not to make his phone seem too "useless".

The message came from the university's class group, which was not usually very lively. A boy posted a screenshot of a pentakill in "Honor of Kings". Xie Zhiqiang clicked on it and glanced at it. He saw that the other person was using Fu Hao, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

Xie Zhiqiang subconsciously glanced back at Xu Jinhuan, wanting to tell him about what his classmates were bragging about, so as not to seem too indifferent. But when he turned around, he saw that bastard Xu Jinhuan probably thought he couldn't see because he was walking ahead, so he dragged his sister's suitcase with one hand and reached out with the other hand to touch his sister Xie Wanqing's head.

Even though Xu Jinhuan is the same age as her, the way he touches his sister like that, with such doting affection, is just like how he treats a child!

Importantly, Xie Zhiqiang remembered that when he was little, before he was as tall as his sister, she would touch his head in a similar way...

And now...

More importantly, despite Xu Jinhuan's attitude, his sister didn't show any sign of avoidance or dissatisfaction. She just glared at him, which seemed more like a coquettish gesture, and then looked at him with obvious guilt.

That's outrageous!

'I will never forgive Xu Jinhuan!'

Xie Zhiqiang roared inwardly, wanting to swing his suitcase and smash it on Xu Jinhuan's head, preferably flattening him!
He was furious, and in a fit of rage, he quickly turned his head away, pretending he hadn't seen anything, so as not to embarrass his sister by revealing that she had witnessed the scene.

That bastard deserves to die!

He cursed inwardly, wanting to get revenge on Song Zhiyu, but then he thought of her appearance and immediately dismissed the idea. There was no way around it; Song Zhiyu was just too beautiful, enough to make anyone hesitate.

'My sister is beautiful too, so why isn't that jerk Xu Jinhuan insecure?'

Xie Zhiqiang felt increasingly unbalanced, but he naturally knew the answer: if he could also appear on CCTV, if he could also be admitted to Peking University without taking the entrance exam, if he could also be worth billions in his freshman year... then even if he didn't lose weight, he would still have the confidence to face any beautiful woman without feeling inferior.

'Unfortunately, I'm not the main character...'

Xie Zhiqiang secretly pursed his lips, wondering if his sister had seen him watching her being touched. To avoid embarrassment, he continued looking at his phone, only to see messages from other classmates in the group chat.

"A pentakill, that's amazing!"

"Did you play by yourself?"

"No, I'm helping Wang Yi and the others rank up."

Although this version of "Honor of Kings" differs from "League of Legends" due to Xu Jinhuan's influence, it's undeniable that it imitates Dota and League of Legends in terms of overall game planning and operation. Xu Jinhuan didn't pretend; ranked matches were introduced in the major update before spring. Because of the influx of new players during this period, coupled with the uneven individual gaming skills, the skill gap between low and mid-ranked players was huge, and the trend of carrying female players to rank up had already begun to emerge.

When Xie Zhiqiang saw this, he finally understood why the other party had sent that screenshot. It was true that he wanted to show off his pentakill, but what he really wanted to show off was "carrying a girl to rank up". This was because Wang Yi, whom the other party mentioned, was basically the most beautiful girl in the class without any doubt. She also had a lively and cheerful personality and often played with boys.

In a group of male students who have just entered university and are full of restlessness from head to toe, inside and out, she is definitely a succubus! After one semester, it is said that there are more than twenty people in the class and department who have explicitly pursued and confessed their feelings!

Xie Zhiqiang had also had such thoughts, especially after he spoke with Wang Yi during several class activities. Moreover, Wang Yi explicitly responded to him after he spoke, which made it even harder for him to control his habitual fantasies.

However, she soon discovered that he was closer to other boys, they played basketball together, and even went out to eat and shop together. In comparison, she had only exchanged a few words with him, so there was really no room for imagination. In addition, she was busy with her online store every day and worried about whose homework to copy, so she didn't have much time to imagine and didn't care much about him.

Of course, another important reason is that the rise of game live streaming and videos has also taken up a lot of his already limited free time.

However, when he learned that Wang Yi also played "Honor of Kings", he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Firstly, he has been playing League of Legends for several years, and compared with most players who are new to Honor of Kings, he has a certain "experience" and his game level is not bad.
Secondly, he has resources for this game!
"The owner and planner of 'Honor of Kings' are my good buddies!"

Xie Zhiqiang couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. What were other guys doing, bringing girls along? He could just drag a girl to see Xu Jinhuan!
If necessary, he could even call him "brother-in-law"...

There are countless gaming masters, but how many brothers-in-law does Xu Jinhuan have?

To put it another way, he knew that Xu Jinhuan had a special account with all the heroes and skins, and he believed that as long as he was willing to call him brother-in-law, he could have not only one special account, but ten!

If it were just for the account, Xie Zhiqiang would certainly not be willing to call him brother-in-law. But if such an account can be used to show off or even to pick up girls, then that's a different story.

At least it's worth considering...

"You're planning to build cars in the future?"

Upon arriving at the parking lot and putting down his suitcase, Xie Zhiqiang consciously went to sit in the back seat. He knew that this Cayenne belonged to Chen Xingzhu's father; he had seen it during the winter break, so he wasn't surprised. However, he couldn't help but ask a question after hearing his sister mention Xu Jinhuan's idea of ​​building cars on the way.

"We do have this plan, but we haven't decided on the specifics yet."

Xu Jinhuan fastened her seatbelt and, seeing that he rarely took the initiative to talk to her, replied with a smile, "I'll send you one later."

Xie Wanqing had just sat down as well. While pulling the seatbelt out a little more and wrapping it around her chest, she glanced back at her younger brother with a mixture of surprise, as well as doubt and confusion.

She actually understood her brother's thoughts. He didn't have much real malice towards Xu Jinhuan; he was more dissatisfied and annoyed, but it didn't affect their relationship to the extent that it did.

The reason this situation occurred was because he was present, and Xie Zhiqiang didn't know how to deal with this situation where "everyone was there".

Moreover, he might even be using this dissatisfaction to support his older sister, since as Xu Jinhuan's classmate and best friend, he already knew a great deal about Chen Xingzhu's situation.

In this situation, the fact that he refrained from physically assaulting Xu Jinhuan shows that he truly restrained himself.

But why did he take the initiative to talk to Xu Jinhuan again?

Is it because you feel embarrassed?
Xie Zhiqiang pretended to type and chat, then pressed a button on his phone a few seconds later and asked in the background, "Making cars must be very complicated, right?"

"It is quite complicated, take it slow."

This matter is quite difficult, and most importantly, it involves life and death, so it cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, Xu Jinhuan is actually a little apprehensive and is currently using his spare time to brush up on his basic professional knowledge, so that he won't be fooled by his subordinates when he actually does it.

"Ok."

Xie Zhiqiang didn't ask any more questions, because he wouldn't understand anyway. Because of Xu Jinhuan's provocation, he had been studying very seriously how to run an online store for the past six months, but he still felt confused.

As for building cars, just like making games, it's not something I can interfere with. As long as Xu Jinhuan builds the car, I can drive it myself, just like he builds a game and plays it himself.

"You guys go back."

First, Xie Zhiqiang was taken to school. There were still several days before the start of the semester, and not many people came to school so early, so there was no need to hide anything. They drove Xie Zhiqiang directly to the dormitory gate.

Xie Zhiqiang picked up his suitcase, then waved to Xu Jinhuan and his sister. He had originally wanted to warn Xu Jinhuan not to do anything to his sister, but he knew it would be pointless and he was afraid of embarrassing his sister, so he said nothing and turned to leave.

Remember to eat the things I brought you.

Xie Wanqing gave her younger brother some instructions, then paused briefly, glanced at his back, and then turned to get into the car.

"what happened?"

Xu Jinhuan noticed something was off about her and asked after getting into the car, "Reluctant to part?"

"No."

Xie Wanqing shook her head, slightly annoyed and amused, and said, "It's in the same city, what's there to be reluctant about... it's just..."

She frowned, glanced out the car window, and seemed unsure how to express herself. "It's just that I suddenly feel... maybe it's just my imagination... Xiaoqiang seems more mature than before?"

"It was already ripe."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled, feeling a bit irritated by his former best friend in every way. It would be strange if Xie Zhiqiang hadn't changed. "If he were the same person he used to be, would he have been working so quietly and honestly this semester without showing off? He would have been showing off to everyone by now."

"It makes sense."

Having spent a lot of time with him, Xie Wanqing had long since gotten used to his occasional strange remarks and roughly knew what they meant. After a pause, she added, "It still feels so magical, like he's grown up in an instant..."

"Men are all like that."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled casually, glancing at the rearview mirror as he turned around, then said to Xie Wanqing, "It seems like Xiao Qiang doesn't need to show up on his own."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Wanqing turned around and saw Xie Zhiqiang stop at the dormitory entrance. A rather pretty girl—who appeared to have just come from the boys' dormitory—was with him, accompanied by two boys who clearly knew her brother and were chatting. The girl was pointing in their direction. (End of Chapter)
