Rebirth Must Be Happy

"They just like to be close to you, they're not asking you for food."

Although she wasn't sure if the person was talking to her, Xu Jinhuan still kindly explained for Xiao Huang, "Don't judge a dog by the standards of a beautiful woman."

"Then I'll tell Aunt Shan."

Chen Xingzhu ignored him, thought for a moment and then said, still trying to appear very open and honest. Then she walked to the sofa, sat down, and took out her phone to send a message to Yu Peishan.

"Then you guys discuss where to stay, I'm going to take a shower first."

Xu Jinhuan deliberately yawned, then went back to her room to get her clothes and didn't come out again. She took a shower in the master bedroom's bathroom, and when she came out, she felt that the whole room was quiet and there was no sound at all. Even Xiao Huang was gone.

He was quite familiar with the situation, so he went straight to the room next door, knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed it open. Sure enough, he saw two women and a dog there.

The two had just unpacked the new tablet and were setting it up when Xiao Huang, who was squatting next to them, immediately got up and came over when he saw him push the door open.

Xu Jinhuan bent down and patted it, then came to the bedside and smiled, "How is it? Do you like it?"

"I like it, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it."

Chen Xingzhu answered, while Xie Wanqing turned her head and asked, "Aren't you going to change?"

"I'll just use yours; I don't use them much anyway."

Xu Jinhuan sat down on the bedside. Xie Wanqing glanced at him and then adjusted her position. The weather was getting warmer after Qingming Festival. She hadn't taken a bath but had changed into her pajamas. The neckline was easy to reveal secrets. Normally, it wouldn't matter if it was just the two of them, but now that Chen Xingzhu was beside her, she wasn't afraid of being seen by Xu Jinhuan. However, she was embarrassed that Chen Xingzhu would discover her while Xu Jinhuan was looking at her.

Xu Jinhuan noticed Xie Jie's little actions, but for the same reason, Chen Xingzhu was watching from the side. She couldn't just go over and rip off Xie Jie's clothes, so she just glanced at her and said, "Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

"We're not stupid."

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu refused and continued playing on their tablets.

Seeing that neither of them intended to pay attention to her, Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to get up and ask, "Are you planning to sleep together tonight?"

"correct."

Chen Xingzhu nodded and logged into her video account on the tablet.

Xie Wanqing said, "Go to sleep if you want to."

"Okay, bye then."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and turned to walk towards the door.

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu both seemed to be stunned for a moment, and looked up at him at the same time. Then they looked at each other again, both of them finding it hard to believe that he had left so easily.

Why not try doing something shameless?
Although neither of them would agree, it's really abnormal that Xu Jinhuan wouldn't even give it a try.

"You guys should go to bed early."

Xu Jinhuan opened the door, waved, and saw Xiao Huang run out. She prepared to close the door and then said to the two of them, "Good night."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing nodded in response, then their two beautiful eyes continued to stare at him, seemingly still finding it hard to believe that he would really leave like that.

"boom"

With a soft click, Xu Jinhuan closed the door and actually left.

???

Inside the room, Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing stopped looking at their tablets, stared at the closed door for two seconds, and then looked at each other again at the same time.

After exchanging glances for two seconds, Xie Wanqing asked, "He wouldn't sneak over in the middle of the night, would he?"

Chen Xingzhu shook her head: "I don't know."

Xie Wanqing asked, "Should we lock the door?"

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Either is fine."

After a pause, he added, "Even if he dares to come, the two of us are not afraid of him."

"Makes sense."

Xie Wanqing nodded subconsciously in agreement, then hesitated for a moment, wondering what Chen Xingzhu meant by "not being afraid of him".

Both of them are present and neither is willing. They are not afraid of Xu Jinhuan's persistent pleading or coercion, nor are they afraid of his forceful actions, so they are not afraid.
Or if Xu Jinhuan comes over in the middle of the night wanting to do something, the two of them being there is like having two fields, so they're not afraid of him using only one ox to plow the fields.
It could even exhaust him to the point of collapse!

After some hesitation, she couldn't bring herself to ask the question. Seeing Chen Xingzhu taking pictures of the tablet with her phone, seemingly unconcerned about Xu Jinhuan's potential night raid, she became even more embarrassed to ask. Not wanting to appear concerned, she tried to use a casual tone when she asked, "Are you going to post this on your WeChat Moments?"

"No."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and said, "I'll post it in the group chat for Zhizhi to see."

"..."

Xie Wanqing was momentarily speechless, almost laughing, and said reproachfully, "If you do that, then he's just wasting his surprise on Zhizhi."

“I didn’t say he bought it for Zhizhi too.”

Chen Xingzhu smiled, first sending the photos to the group chat, then turning to look at Xie Wanqing. Seeing that she was genuinely worried about this, she smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, this will only make Zhizhi happier."

Xie Wanqing asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because Zhizhi is not short of money, a tablet is nothing to her, and even less to Xu Jinhuan."

Chen Xingzhu explained with a smile, "But after I post it in the group, this tablet will no longer be just a tablet. It will be something that I have but Zhizhi doesn't. When he gives it to me later, Zhizhi will be even happier."

"It makes sense."

Xie Wanqing thought about it for a moment, especially considering Song Zhiyu's personality, and felt that it really made sense, but then she thought of another possibility: "What if you just buy it yourself?"

"No, because I posted it in the group, and Xu Jinhuan could see it too."

Chen Xingzhu smiled very happily, even with a hint of slyness, "She'll definitely be sulking and want to see if Xu Jinhuan will buy it for her."

Xie Wanqing asked suspiciously, "How can you be so sure that Zhizhi would think that way?"

You'll know once you spend more time with them.

Chen Xingzhu raised her chin, glanced at Xie Wanqing sideways, and said with a slightly arrogant look, "Sister, you can't believe it?"

"..."

Xie Wanqing stared at her, not wanting to say anything.

"I was just kidding."

Chen Xingzhu laughed again, moved closer, and patted Xie Wanqing's head. "Don't be angry, sister, be good~"

"I'll beat you to death." Xie Wanqing was both angry and amused. "Don't treat me like you treat Xiao Huang and Xiao Guai. I'm not a pet, and I'm older than you."

"I know you're older."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at Xie Wanqing's chest without leaving a trace, then sat up straight and explained seriously, "It's just a guess. It's okay if I'm wrong. It's just to verify if my understanding of Zhizhi is correct. If it is, I'll know how to get along with her in the future."

"It makes sense."

Although Xie Wanqing felt something was off, upon closer inspection, Chen Xingzhu's logic seemed sound, so she nodded in agreement. However, after pondering it for a few more seconds, she felt something was even more amiss.

She turned to look at Chen Xingzhu, staring at him for a while, and only continued when Chen Xingzhu looked up from his typing break. Chen Xingzhu asked, "Have you ever done any similar tests or verifications on me before?"

Chen Xingzhu, who didn't know how to fight, asked with a smile, "What do you think, sister?"

Xie Wanqing stared at her for two seconds, but found that she couldn't figure out Chen Xingzhu's thoughts at all. She could only roll her eyes at her and then continue fiddling with her new tablet, feeling somewhat frustrated and disappointed.

She wasn't actually a very competitive person; in fact, she could be described as somewhat laid-back. But when she was with Chen Xingzhu, she didn't care who was smarter, since she knew she wasn't very bright, perhaps even less so than Song Zhiyu, let alone Chen Xingzhu.

But now that both of them have this kind of relationship with Xu Jinhuan, whether they are with Xu Jinhuan or occasionally think about this matter, they can't help but compare themselves with Chen Xingzhu.

In most cases, she felt that her advantages were quite obvious—not that she was better than Chen Xingzhu overall, but that she was confident that she had advantages that Chen Xingzhu did not have, such as her figure and personality.

However, she also knew that Chen Xingzhu had areas where she was inferior, so she compared them more and more, which inevitably led to her wanting to win. At this point, when faced with the difference in intelligence and emotional intelligence between the two of them, she became a little unhappy.

"Don't be angry, sister."

Xie Wanqing was downloading a game when she suddenly felt her foot being rubbed by a smooth, delicate foot. Turning her head, she saw Chen Xingzhu lying next to her, staring at her with clear, bright eyes and a well-behaved expression.

"Don't try to flirt with me. Like repels like, it won't work on me."

Xie Wanqing snorted, somewhat guessing that Chen Xingzhu had done it on purpose, so she didn't hide her feelings, "If you want to flirt, go find him."

"Oh, I was just testing the waters."

Chen Xingzhu moved closer and hugged Xie Wanqing's arm. "Let's see if you'll get angry, so I won't make you angry in the future."

"That's weird."

Xie Wanqing didn't believe it at all, suspecting that Chen Xingzhu had already figured out her thoughts and personality.

She was already in a bad mood, and Chen Xingzhu's slight coquettishness dispelled it, so she stopped putting on airs and asked curiously, "Did you test Xu Jinhuan?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu paused slightly, then nodded frankly, "Of course, after all, we're going to be together for a lifetime. But it's not as complicated as you think, it's just about getting along and observing each other."

Xie Wanqing didn't press further, only nodded, staring at Chen Xingzhu for a few seconds: "I've noticed you seem a little different today..."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and asked, "How is it different?"

You're not usually this talkative.

Xie Wanqing voiced her doubts directly, "And many of the topics discussed today were rather sensitive..."

"..."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at her, did not answer immediately, remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly, turned over and lay down on the bed, and said, "When I was little—after I separated from Xingruo, I was very worried about her, afraid that she would be bullied, afraid that she would not be able to find anyone to help or confide in if something happened to her."

Xie Wanqing didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, but she still played along and asked, "And then?"

"Later I found out that I was actually the one who was bullied and had no one to confide in when I had problems."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and turned to look at Xie Wanqing. "So many times, I envy Xingruo and Zhizhi... Of course, I know that Zhizhi is not as carefree as she appears, but I envy her ability to act that way. I don't even have the ability to pretend to be so innocent, lively, and happy."

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment, still not understanding what she was trying to say: "So?"

"So, I want to try becoming like them, even if it's just an act."

Chen Xingzhu chuckled, "You know about my mother's situation. I have a good impression of Aunt Shan, but we've only known each other for a short time. Our relationship is more based on Xingruo, and we're more polite than intimate with each other. So I can't really be like that in front of her."

"So, you want to try it on me?"

Xie Wanqing finally understood and was very surprised. She looked her over carefully and asked, "You call me 'sister,' do you really want to be my younger sister?"

"correct."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and nodded, "I've had this idea ever since I started calling you 'sister' instead of 'sister Wanqing' or 'sister Xie,' but I'm sorry... After thinking about it for so long, I feel it's about time, so let's give it a try."

"Ok."

Xie Wanqing never expected this to be the case, but upon closer examination, she found it quite reasonable. No matter how aloof and ethereal Chen Xingzhu appeared, she was still a person in the mortal world, with all the emotions and desires. Just like the "Fairy Sister," you can't really treat her as a fairy, can you?

She responded, then thought about it carefully and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Xingzhu was a little embarrassed and stared at her, asking, "What are you laughing at, sister?"

"fine."

Xie Wanqing sat up, pulled Chen Xingzhu into her arms, patted her head, and smiled, "From now on, your older sister will take care of you... If you need anything, just tell me."

Chen Xingzhu didn't struggle, but nestled in her arms and asked gently, "Can I say anything?"

"Of course."

"I want to ask..."

Chen Xingzhu paused for a moment, and then, while Xie Wanqing listened attentively, continued, "Sister, how did you grow up to be so big?"

"..."

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then gently slapped her shoulder.

The two of them hadn't washed up yet. They chatted for a bit, then went to wash up and tidy up. They started chatting about daily necessities again, and the conversation went on and on until after 1 a.m. before they finally went to sleep.

The main reason for this was that they rarely had the chance to talk about their feelings, which did spark their interest in conversation. However, it must be admitted that both of them also harbored some thoughts about whether Xu Jinhuan would sneak into their room in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately—no, thankfully, they weren't bothered by Xu Jinhuan at all, from the moment they fell asleep until they woke up in the morning.

He really did leave obediently, and then slept alone in the room all night, without doing anything improper to them.

Even the next morning, Xu Jinhuan still bought breakfast.

This was completely beyond their imagination and overturned their original impression of Xu Jinhuan as a "big pervert," to the point that they looked at him strangely when they ate breakfast the next morning.

'You're still young after all.'

Xu Jinhuan noticed the two exchanging glances all morning and knew what they were whispering about, which made him secretly pleased.

This is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, just like when he was pursuing those two girls.

If we don't let them lower their guard and don't have a little more patience, how can we sleep together in the same bed?

You have to cast a long line to catch a big fish; haste makes waste! (End of Chapter)
