Rebirth Must Be Happy

"306..."

Chen Xingruo immediately recalled the car model that Song Zhiyu had shown off in the group chat, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise. She never expected that she would have one too, and it was clearly a model she had carefully chosen.

"Could it be that 206 was given to my sister?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xingruo took down her Yun 7 car model and went to Chen Xingzhu's room. Sure enough, she saw the same Yun 7 car model in her sister's glass cabinet, only it was white like ceramic.

Without any hesitation, she opened the locker, took out the white model car, and noticed that the number on it wasn't the expected 206, but rather: 111.
"111?"

Chen Xingruo muttered to herself, "Does it mean 'only'? Three unique ones?"

The latter interpretation made her a little unhappy. After thinking for a moment, she took both car models to her sister's desk, ran back to her room to get her phone, snapped a few photos, and then selected two to post on Weibo.

Wow, the car model arrived already?

"The serial number is 306? It's Xingbao's birthday, how thoughtful."

Wow, I want a brother-in-law like that too!

"You all envy Xingbao, but I'm different. I'm the one who envies Xu Jinhuan!"

……

The comment section quickly became lively, and it subsequently topped the trending searches. Chen Xingruo could only confirm that she hadn't bought the trending search, but she couldn't be sure if someone needed her to help attract attention and buy it for her, or if she was really that popular now.

Whether it's the comments section or the trending topics, everyone seems to believe that the car model was a gift from Xu Jinhuan, and that she gave it to him because she had previously expressed envy on Weibo.

"You scheming bitch!"

This time, Song Zhiyu didn't pretend at all. She didn't even use a fake account anymore. She directly took a screenshot of the Weibo post and sent it to the group to complain, "It's like my brother only gave it to you after seeing your Weibo post."

Then she added, "They clearly gave away four in the first place, didn't they?"

There are many possible interpretations to this statement, and Chen Xingruo didn't know how to interpret it for a moment. Was Song Zhiyu teasing her relationship with Xu Jinhuan, or was she simply defending Xu Jinhuan for not ignoring her, or was she jealous and deliberately putting Xu Jinhuan down?

But regardless, according to Song Zhiyu, Xu Jinhuan really did prepare four car models from the beginning?
I gave this to my older sister, but she just put it in my room without telling me.
Even a few days ago, when I posted on Weibo in the group chat... no, when Song Zhiyu took a screenshot and posted it in the group chat, my sister didn't tell me about it?

Was she doing it on purpose, or intentionally?
Chen Xingruo returned her sister's car model and lay back down on the bed. The panda that had been following her around jumped up and nudged her with its head. Annoyed, Chen Xingruo pushed it away, but the panda kept bumping into her and persistently rubbing against her.

Chen Xingruo was about to push it away again, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration and stared at it, asking, "Are you reminding me that I can take the initiative?"

The panda ignored what she said and continued to rub against her. Chen Xingruo also ignored her and picked up her phone to send a message to Chen Xingzhu: "Why did you put my car model in my room without telling me?"

Chen Xingzhu quickly replied: "I forgot."

Chen Xingruo: "Chen Xingzhu, do you think I'm stupid?"

Chen Xingzhu: "Yes."

Chen Xingruo was at a loss for words. She really wanted to scold her, but that was her older sister, and she didn't know how to scold her. So she pouted and sent a voice message: "You're bullying me!"

Meanwhile, in the office, Chen Xingzhu picked up her phone and heard her sister's voice coming through the Bluetooth earpiece. A smile appeared on her lips as she sent her a laughing duck emoji before continuing to listen to music and draw. During this time, she heard the music playing in her earpiece switch to Chen Xingruo's recently released song, "Misplaced Time and Space." She paused briefly to listen to the lyrics written by Xu Jinhuan before returning her attention to the earpiece.

These AirPods were released last September along with the iPhone 7. After their release, they were met with a lot of criticism, mainly due to their price. However, Chen Xingzhu liked them very much and was one of the first to buy and use them with Xu Jinhuan. Soon, Chen Xingruo, Xie Wanqing, and Song Zhiyu, who were also interested, also placed orders.

After all, the biggest drawback of these headphones is their price, but for her, that's hardly a flaw; she only feels the advantages.

Xu Jinhuan's work focus is now on Myth Auto, and she didn't come to Weaving Rain Games today. Therefore, Chen Xingzhu voluntarily worked overtime after get off work. Although there was overtime pay, she didn't care about it. After all, with financial freedom, she did this job simply because of her interest and love.

She still had never driven alone before, so a driver picked her up and took her home. She greeted the housekeeper who was cooking on the first floor, and when she went upstairs, she heard Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingyu playing games noisily.

She went up to the second floor and sure enough, she saw Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingyu sitting on the sofa, holding tablets and intently typing on the screens. Judging from the game sound effects, they were playing "Honor of Kings".

The panda squatted beside her. When it saw her come back, it raised its head to look at Chen Xingzhu, then continued to lie down, ignoring her. It had probably already played with "Shi Ling Ta" that afternoon and was now aesthetically fatigued.

"Sis, you're back?"

Chen Xingyu was focused on playing the game and ignored Chen Xingzhu. Chen Xingruo looked up and greeted him with a sweet smile, handing him her tablet. "Want to play?"

"Don't play."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head. "Where's Aunt Shan?"

"Sister Shan went to take a shower; she just went to the gym."

Chen Xingruo seemed to want to take advantage of the situation, so she deliberately called her "sister" and then giggled, "I asked Auntie to cook a few more dishes to welcome me home. Aren't you grateful to me?"

"Then eat more tonight."

Chen Xingzhu rolled her eyes at her sister. "Do you have any work to do next?"

"That's all. I'll rest at home for a few days and celebrate my birthday first."

While playing the game, Chen Xingruo asked, and Chen Xingyu looked up at her and said with dissatisfaction, "Sis, stop dying. The economy you're feeding the enemy is almost as much as mine."

"You're just a primary school student, so just focus on playing your own game."

Chen Xingruo glared at her younger brother, and taking advantage of the time she had to resurrect after death, continued to ask, "Sis, how are you planning to celebrate your birthday?"

Chen Xingyu pouted, not daring to refute, and continued to save the world alone, feeling a little wronged.

"I don't know yet, let's have a meal together."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head. Everyone is busy with work these days, especially Xu Jinhuan, who is busy starting a new business and working on the first new car that could determine the success or failure of the business. He doesn't have much time for personal life, so a simple birthday celebration shouldn't be too complicated.

As is customary in previous years, birthday celebrations are usually more lively. It's not just about her and Xu Jinhuan; given their special relationship, it's not appropriate to go through any elaborate romantic gestures.

Moreover, after dating for a long time, she has become accustomed to and adapted to their ordinary relationship. She no longer pursues anything dramatic or exciting; she feels happy just moving forward peacefully.

Of course, this year is a little different. After all, Chen Xingruo is no longer intentionally avoiding it. Since the two sisters are celebrating their birthdays at the same time, they still need to discuss the arrangements beforehand to avoid any awkward or uncomfortable situations that might arise.
