Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Ding"

After the meeting, Xu Jinhuan returned to her office. Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She squatted down slightly, took out her phone, and saw a package pickup notification on the screen. She glanced at it habitually, then texted Xie Wanqing: "Sis, what did you buy me this time?"

Xie Wanqing quickly replied, "No, look what it is."

Xu Jinhuan had just typed out "I haven't placed an order, how can I tell what it is?" and hadn't even sent it when she saw a message from Chen Xingzhu: "Have you received your package?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan really wanted to retract her chat history with Xie Wanqing, but it was obviously too late. So she deleted the reply she had typed out and then sent Xie Wanqing a message: "Case solved, Xingzhu bought it."

Xie Wanqing asked, "What did you buy?"

Xu Jinhuan, of course, didn't know either, so he switched to take a screenshot first, and then replied to Chen Xingzhu: "I was wondering why there was suddenly an extra package."

Chen Xingzhu: "There are two."

Xu Jinhuan: "What did you buy?"

Chen Xingzhu: "The clothes I bought for you, spring clothes, go pick them up after get off work."

Xu Jinhuan: "Then let's go home together after get off work, otherwise I won't know if it looks good or not."

Chen Xingzhu: "Let Sister Wanqing take a look for you."

Xu Jinhuan: "She doesn't know what kind of effect the clothes you buy will have; the main thing is that you are satisfied."

He didn't give Chen Xingzhu time to refute and continued typing: "It just so happens that we haven't eaten together in a long time. Let's go eat together after get off work and then try on clothes."

Chen Xingzhu replied after a while: "Okay, then you should tell Sister Wanqing."

Her words were somewhat vague, so Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but wonder: "Did she mean for me to invite Wanqing to dinner, or for me to tell Wanqing that I wanted her to go back to school and stay with me tonight?"

If this matter isn't handled properly, it could lead to serious trouble. Unfortunately, even with Chen Xingzhu's personality, she can't only think about things in a positive light.

Based on Xu Jinhuan's understanding of her, she might have deliberately spoken vaguely like that. If he had simply assumed that Xie Wanqing was included, then he could basically be sentenced to "death".

Compared to her seemingly aloof and detached demeanor, she is not lacking in the little thoughts common to girls when in love. In fact, because she is more sensitive and intelligent, she can be more unpredictable and harder to "please" than most girls at times.

But if he directly asked her what she meant, although it was safe, it wasn't the best option—of course, Xu Jinhuan couldn't figure out what the best approach would be either.

In the current situation, we must at least ensure that we don't make mistakes or act recklessly.

Based on this principle, he thought for a few seconds and quickly made a priority list in his mind of "caring" > "being honest" > "choice" before typing to ask her: "Should I tell Sister Wanqing to go back to school tonight?"

Chen Xingzhu waited two more minutes before replying:

"Of course not!"

"I wanted you to tell her to have dinner together tonight."

"Never mind, I'll talk to her myself."

Xu Jinhuan had reason to suspect that she would only give this answer if he asked her, but there was no way to verify it, and it didn't matter. As long as the two-to-one situation remained unchanged, he had already gained such a huge advantage, and everything else was trivial.

Although Chen Xingzhu said she would go and tell them, Xu Jinhuan still sent a message to Xie Wanqing again. Xie Wanqing was probably chatting with Chen Xingzhu and didn't reply immediately. She replied almost ten minutes later: "Xingzhu told me."

Xu Jinhuan: "Okay, let me see what we should have for dinner."

He found two restaurants to choose from and originally wanted to create a three-person group chat, but he was afraid that Song Zhiyu would see it by accident and get angry and cause trouble, so after thinking about it, he posted it in the dining group instead.

The group still only has the original five people. Apart from Chen Xingruo being a bit redundant, the other three are people who would want to be in another group even if it were created. Since Chen Xingruo is busy with work, we can just pretend she doesn't exist.

"You guys stole food again?"

Song Zhiyu was probably during a break between classes. The three of them had just discussed which restaurant to eat at when she popped up in the group chat, "You didn't even invite me, that's so unfair!"

Song Zhiyu: "[Strongly condemn.jpg]"

Song Zhiyu: "[Doesn't your conscience hurt?.jpg]"

Song Zhiyu: "[They just bully honest people.jpg]"

Song Zhiyu: "[My heart aches so much.jpg]"

It was clear the little girl was very unhappy, sending several emojis in a row to express her condemnation. Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to quickly type a reply: "When you come in a few days, I'll take you out to eat delicious food every day."

Although Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu were unaware of the situation, they knew that he had a good relationship with Song Zhiyu, so the use of "accompany" could be interpreted as a sign of a close sibling relationship.

In Song Zhiyu's eyes, the word "accompany" has a different meaning, which can effectively soothe Song Zhiyu's emotions.

Of course, all of the above were Xu Jinhuan's own thoughts. He was unaware that Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing knew Song Zhiyu's true thoughts much earlier than he did.

"I'll take you to eat something delicious when you come."

"Let's go eat beef stew then."

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu offered a few words of comfort, and then quickly finalized a place for dinner that evening. They chatted briefly in the group chat, but since they both had work and classes to attend, they didn't continue the conversation.

"Sister Wanqing, have you noticed something?"

Outside, in the large office of the design department, Chen Xingzhu stopped drawing and instead sent a message to Xie Wanqing on her phone. She had more classes next semester and came to the company less often, spending most of her time in the large office. However, everyone knew her identity, so no one reminded President Chen not to slack off at work.

Xie Wanqing quickly replied: "You mean Zhizhi?"

Chen Xingzhu: "Yes, Zhizhi's behavior has become increasingly obvious recently."

Xie Wanqing: "She seems unafraid that he knows, and even afraid that he doesn't know."

Chen Xingzhu: "It seems like it's not just like that."

Chen Xingzhu: "[I have a feeling things aren't that simple.jpg]"

Xie Wanqing: "Hahahaha, this meme of him pinching his chin and thinking looks a bit like Xu Jinhuan, didn't you notice?"

Chen Xingzhu: "Don't go off-topic."

Chen Xingzhu: "But it does look somewhat similar."

Chen Xingzhu: "[Smirking.jpg]"

Xie Wanqing: "I guess he already knew, so Zhizhi doesn't need to hide it anymore."

Chen Xingzhu: "Is that all?"

Xie Wanqing: "Otherwise what?"

Xie Wanqing: "Zhizhi is still in high school, there's no way anything could happen between them, right?"

Chen Xingzhu did not reply immediately, but held her phone and fell into deep thought. She did not have any clear evidence, but she always had a feeling that something might have already happened.

There were two reasons why she had this feeling: firstly, Song Zhiyu's recent behavior, and secondly, Song Zhiyu's personality. Based on Song Zhiyu's previous actions, was she the kind of person who followed the rules and regulations?
So what if it's high school?
If she were in Song Zhiyu's shoes, she felt that she herself in high school could have done the same thing, while Song Zhiyu...

In Chen Xingzhu's mind, Song Zhiyu was only bolder than herself.

'Let's not think about these things now. We'll know when Zhizhi arrives during the May Day holiday.'

She thought this way, not because she was completely indifferent to it, but because she had rationally foreseen this to happen. The only difference was the timing, so she could control it and it wouldn't have too much of an impact on her mood.

After all, I had thought about many of these things a long time ago.

In this respect, she has a more far-sighted vision and greater resilience than Xie Wanqing, Song Zhiyu, and even Xu Jinhuan, the beneficiary.

Even if something even more outrageous, something she had always worried about, happened, she would not be surprised, though she would absolutely not accept it.

"Let's go."

After get off work, Xu Jinhuan processed a few documents and did not leave the office immediately. The two girls did not urge her and waited outside. When Xu Jinhuan came out, she saw the two girls chatting with two other female colleagues, so she went over to greet them and said, "It's time to go home. If you don't leave now, you'll have to pay overtime."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him, while Xie Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle, giving him a slight reproach before saying goodbye to her colleagues and walking out of the office together.

"What's going on?"

The two female colleagues watched the three of them leave, chatting and laughing. After confirming that they had left the office, they waited a few more seconds before exchanging glances and whispering amongst themselves, unable to contain their gossip.

"Didn't we say before that President Xu and President Chen were a couple?"

"Yup!"

"I have a feeling that Assistant Xie is also involved."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

……

"Call my mom."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, while waiting for their food, Xu Jinhuan made a video call to his mother. Song Zhiyu hadn't come home for dinner that night, so only his parents were on the phone. However, he only spoke for a short while; after that, Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu mostly chatted with their mother, discussing everything from the weather to food to clothes, until they were halfway through their meal before hanging up.

"Have you bought the tickets for Zhizhi yet?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xingzhu barely stopped, picking up food and putting it into her bowl while casually asking, "When will you arrive?"

"Uh, she bought the plane ticket and will arrive around 10 p.m. on the 30th."

Xu Jinhuan vaguely sensed that Chen Xingzhu's attitude was a bit subtle, but upon closer inspection, she didn't find anything unusual, otherwise Chen Xingzhu wouldn't have made it so obvious.

Conversely, since it's so obvious, it must be a coincidence; she really was just asking about it.

Xie Wanqing asked, "She has a holiday on the 30th, will she go to Pengcheng to catch a plane? Will she have enough time?"

"She should make it in time. School ends around 5 p.m., and my dad will take her."

There was no way to hide this, nor was there any need to, so Xu Jinhuan answered truthfully, "Where shall we go then?"

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Xingruo later if she's free. If she is, let's go out and have fun together, so she won't complain when she comes back that she wasn't taken."

Xie Wanqing gave her a strange look, then said, "With Xingruo's identity, it's not really appropriate for her to go out and have fun, is it?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "I don't take her with me when we go to public places."

Xie Wanqing laughed and said, "You talk as if you can go. You should try not to go."

In fact, even without Chen Xingruo, Xu Jinhuan's current condition is not suitable for going to places with too many people. He would inevitably be recognized, and there might be some drama circulating online. After all, the three games from "Weaving Rain Studio" are all very popular, which has indeed affected a lot of interests.

Although people in a certain group generally share a similar attitude towards having sex with women, it's not impossible that someone might use these things to their advantage, so it's best to be cautious.

Otherwise, his thick skin and lack of concern could very well cause trouble for Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing. Song Zhiyu doesn't need to worry too much at this stage; the identity of a cousin is enough.

Xu Jinhuan said, "Then let's try to play indoors as much as possible."

The two women didn't object to the suggestion. Chen Xingzhu picked up a piece of radish, blew on it twice, took a small bite, and then asked Xie Wanqing, "Where's your brother? You can let him play with you if you have time."

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "Never mind, I won't call him."

Seemingly remembering something, his expression became somewhat subtle as he asked Xu Jinhuan, "Have you been in frequent contact with Xiao Qiang lately?"

"not much."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment, "We just had a meal together last month, and sometimes we run into each other in games, and when we play together, we call each other noobs... What's wrong?"

"I feel like he's been acting strange lately."

Xie Wanqing said somewhat uncertainly, "It just feels a little different from before."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Didn't I say it before? You've matured?"

Xie Wanqing shook her head: "No."

Chen Xingzhu blinked, looking a little gossipy: "Are you in a relationship?"

For a moment, Xu Jinhuan almost couldn't help but stand up and point at her, shouting "Hey!" because her expression just now looked too much like Chen Xingruo's. Fortunately, he immediately realized that Chen Xingzhu also had this side to her.

'Seriously, twins are so exhausting...'

After realizing that he was being paranoid, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but complain to himself, feeling that Chen Xingzhu was almost giving him a psychological trauma.

If Chen Xingruo hadn't existed, he definitely wouldn't have thought in that direction just now. But with Chen Xingruo around, especially given her history of impersonating his sister, even though it was just a manifestation of a complex aspect of her personality, he almost subconsciously assumed it was Chen Xingruo.

In short, the existence of twins has led to the sisters' image being solidified, forming a stereotype.

Even though he was facing the living, breathing Chen Xingzhu every day, he could not avoid this situation.

Then he realized what Chen Xingzhu had just said, and subconsciously shook his head and laughed, "Impossible, if he were in a relationship, how could I not know?"

While speaking, Xu Jinhuan didn't pay any attention and continued to pick up food with his chopsticks. It wasn't until he put a piece of beef in his mouth that he realized Xie Wanqing was staring at him with a slightly subtle look in her eyes.

"No way?"

Xu Jinhuan instantly understood, "He's really in a relationship?"

Before Xie Wanqing could answer, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but complain, "That bastard, last time when we were playing games he even asked me to introduce him to girls. I was just planning to bring him along next time we have an event."

"What did you say?"

Xie Wanqing retorted with dissatisfaction, "That's my brother. If he's a dog, then what am I?"

'You can be a dog too, a little female dog…'

If Chen Xingzhu weren't here, Xu Jinhuan definitely wouldn't have been able to resist saying those words aloud, but since Chen Xingzhu was here, he could only keep them to himself. (End of Chapter)
