Rebirth Must Be Happy

As soon as Xie Zhiqiang turned around, he saw Wang Yi walking out of the boys' dormitory.

She wasn't very tall, only a little over 1.6 meters. She had a classic heart-shaped face and a pair of very beautiful peach blossom eyes, exuding a gentle yet alluring charm. At this moment, she was chatting happily with the classmate next to her who had posted a screenshot of a pentakill in the group chat. Her already lively and beautiful features were made even more stunning by this.

He tensed up uncontrollably, so when he heard his sister's words behind him, he didn't respond immediately. Instead, his whole body tensed up subconsciously, and a thought flashed through his mind: Wang Yi actually went to the boys' dormitory?
Some scenes from adult films flashed through his mind subconsciously, but he quickly dismissed and dispelled them, trying to appear calm and natural. With his back to his sister, he replied, "I know," and walked towards the door.

Wang Yi and the two male classmates next to her also noticed Xie Zhiqiang at this moment, and naturally saw the expensive-looking Porsche Cayenne behind Xie Zhiqiang, as well as Xu Jinhuan and Xie Wanqing who had not yet gotten into the car.

One of the two male students was visibly startled. He glanced at the car for two seconds, then his gaze lingered on Xu Jinhuan and Xie Wanqing, lingering longer on Xie Wanqing. He then looked back at Xie Zhiqiang with slight surprise, seemingly trying to determine the relationship between this seemingly insignificant student and the car owner.

When Wang Yi saw Xie Zhiqiang, the bright smile on her face faded slightly—even though Xie Zhiqiang was the kind of person who would "give me a look and I'd already come up with a name for our future child in my mind," she understood that this behavior didn't mean he cared about her opinion, but rather it was more of a subconscious act of reserve that a girl would show when facing a stranger she wasn't very familiar with.

However, Wang Yi clearly recognized him. After slightly fading her smile, she gave him the casual, slightly awkward smile and eye contact that one would give to an ordinary classmate.

Xie Zhiqiang only maintained eye contact for 0.5 seconds before looking away and glancing at the two male classmates next to her.

"Xie Zhiqiang, you're here so early?"

One of the boys greeted him with a smile. He lived in the dorm next to Xie Zhiqiang's, and although they weren't close, they were fairly familiar with each other. He then made no attempt to hide his intentions and gestured directly to the Cayenne whose door had just been closed, asking, "Is this for you? A Porsche!"

Xie Zhiqiang subconsciously recalled a classmate reunion during winter break, and Xu Jinhuan's reaction when that Mercedes S-Class arrived. He then imitated that demeanor and smiled casually.

In that smile, he was actually thinking more about how to express his relationship with the two people in the car—either classmate or sister, but he absolutely couldn't answer both, otherwise the fact that his classmate had dated his sister would be impossible to hide.

As Xie Zhiqiang pondered, Wang Yi glanced over, her bright, almond-shaped eyes blinking gently. For some reason, Xie Zhiqiang felt a surge of warmth in his heart and blurted out the choice he had in mind: "My brother-in-law!"

“I’m…”

While Wang Yi and the other two looked slightly surprised, Xie Zhiqiang almost couldn't help but slap himself in the face. Wasn't this just choosing "or" from "A or B"?

And it was the answer he least wanted to face!

"Your family is so rich?"

One of the boys couldn't help but look Xie Zhiqiang up and down again, then habitually quipped, "No wonder he bought the gold one..."

"A Porsche?"

Wang Yi repeated herself, her bright eyes blinking in surprise. She then looked at the car that had turned around, before turning back to Xie Zhiqiang: "Was that girl your sister? She's so pretty!"

"Ah."

Xie Zhiqiang was in a bad mood because he said the wrong thing, which relieved his tension in front of Wang Yi. He was also relieved because he found that none of the three of them seemed to recognize Xu Jinhuan.

'I thought Xu Jinhuan was very famous, but it turns out he's just so-so...'

He muttered to himself, but while accepting the fact, he also understood the reason: Xu Jinhuan is very famous now, but only to a small group of people online. In real life, apart from those household names, there are not many "celebrities" that ordinary people know.

After all, this is China. Even with only 0.1% brand recognition, there are 140 million people here.

Is your sister also in college?

Wang Yi seemed quite interested in Xie Wanqing. "A graduate student?"

Xie Zhiqiang said, "Yes, at the University of Technology and Business."

Wang Yi laughed and said, "I have a high school classmate there too. I went there before the Spring Festival."

He looked Xie Zhiqiang up and down again, teasingly asking, "Are you two siblings?"

"Definitely."

"It looks like..."

Wang Yi clearly wanted to say "it doesn't seem like it," but stopped halfway through, just smiled and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Suicheng".

"Never heard of it." "It's right next to Pengcheng."

“I know, I was thinking of going to Pengcheng for a visit.”

Wang Yi looked somewhat surprised. "Is your home far from Pengcheng?"

“It’s very close. We usually go to Pengcheng to buy things.”

Seeing that she seemed to want to consult him about travel plans, Xie Zhiqiang quickly replied, exaggerating the connection between the two cities. Unfortunately, they were too close, and he didn't think there was anything fun to do in Pengcheng. He couldn't think of anything to introduce for a moment, so he could only say dryly, "Pengcheng is quite fun."

"Yes, I've always been curious about that."

Ironically, his dry introduction seemed to be quite effective, preventing any awkward silences. Moreover, Wang Yi appeared undeterred, saying, "I'll consult you when I go."

"it is good."

Xie Zhiqiang was surprised by the coincidence. Although he didn't have any specific intentions towards Wang Yi, it was always a pleasant thing to talk to such a beautiful girl. His mood, which had been ruined by Xu Jinhuan, was thus greatly improved.

Fearing that people might misunderstand him as having feelings for Wang Yi, he agreed and then said no more. He picked up his suitcase and went up the steps, saying, "I'm going back to my dorm now."

Back in his dorm, Xie Zhiqiang couldn't help but let his mind wander as he thought about Wang Yi's behavior. He figured that even though he wasn't particularly handsome, if he flaunted his wealth—mainly his online store—he could attract a lot of girls' attention, and at least Wang Yi's attitude towards him would improve considerably.

If I can keep exercising and keep losing weight, even if I don't expect to build muscle, as long as I can achieve a standard physique, it's not impossible...

Stop imagining things!

After indulging in fantasies for a while, Xie Zhiqiang tried his best to use reason to stop his wishful thinking. If that were really the case, no matter who the other person was, they definitely wouldn't like him.

"Ding"

No one else in the dormitory had returned yet. Xie Zhiqiang tidied up his things quickly, then sat down at the table, turned on the computer, and skillfully opened the game console.

Halfway through the game, his phone rang. Xie Zhiqiang finished the team fight first, and after bravely sacrificing himself, he picked up his phone and was slightly taken aback after opening the message.

This is a friend request from the class group chat.

The other party's profile picture was a cartoon cat, and the accompanying message was: I am Wang Yi.

Xie Zhiqiang paused for two seconds, then quickly accepted the friend request. He wanted to send a message, but didn't know what to say. He was also worried that the other person would send a message first, so he kept glancing at his phone.

Caught in a dilemma, he lost the ranked match and even got flamed by his teammates, but he was too lazy to argue back. Instead of starting another game, he opened a webpage and searched:

What are some fun things to do in Pengcheng?

……

"What do you say?"

On the bus, Xu Jinhuan was heading home with practiced ease. Before she even left the school gate, Xie Wanqing next to her said, "Go to Chen Xingzhu's place." She almost thought she had misheard and couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go to Chen Xingzhu's house."

Xie Wanqing looked at him questioningly, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I didn't react that strongly..."

Xu Jinhuan instinctively denied it, "I'm just wondering, why did you go to her house during a holiday? To offer New Year's greetings?"

"It's Chinese New Year after all."

Xie Wanqing looked at his expression and seemed to find it amusing. She even moved closer to him, as if wanting to get a better look at his expression. "Isn't it normal to go and pay New Year's visits?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Jinhuan sensed the conversation was taking a turn for the worse and wanted to try to persuade her, but Xie Wanqing seemed to have noticed his intention and stared at him, asking, "You don't want me to go?" (End of Chapter)
