Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 3 [003] Xu What Joy
"Classmate, who are you looking for?"

There was only ten minutes between the third classes, so most of the students in Class 9 were in the classroom. Xu Jinhuan walked in and quickly attracted the attention of the students in the front row.

Xu Jinhuan didn't answer and walked straight to Chen Xingzhu's desk.

The people around suddenly realized what was going on. Some of them were ready to watch the fun with great interest, while others had numb expressions.

Most of them were in the same class with Chen Xingzhu only after the class division in the second year of high school, but they had seen this scene many times.

Someone else kindly reminded: "Where's your love letter?"

"You should at least bring flowers when you confess your love, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll be rejected anyway."

"That's right. I've been with Chen Xingzhu for so long, what kind of confession have I not seen?"

……

As these people talked, almost all the students in Class 9 looked over.

Chen Xingzhu also looked up and saw Xu Jinhuan sitting at the table.

Xu Jinhuan looked at her still childish and beautiful face, and couldn't help but think of the contents of the letter. He smiled and extended his right hand towards her, his eyes gentle as he said, "Hello, Chen Xingzhu, I'm Xu Jinhuan from Class 11. Nice to meet you. Can we be friends?"

"Dude, aren't you being too euphemistic?"

"Who is this person?"

"N+1 for the passerby who is about to be rejected"

"This guy's confession is a bit novel!"

"What's new? Not to mention spending money, there's not even a love letter."

"Don't say that, don't say that, I've never seen such a way of confession before."

……

Originally in the same class as Chen Xingzhu, the students in Class 9 were already accustomed to love letters and sending flowers, but they had never seen Xu Jinhuan express his love in this way, which led to another round of discussion and ridicule.

Chen Xingzhu looked up at the completely unfamiliar boy in front of her, a little surprised. She didn't see any nervousness, anxiety, confidence, or pride in him. Instead, she saw a deep tenderness, even...

He looked like he was trying to suppress the urge to cry.

This made her a little confused, but she didn't care and answered indifferently: "No."

After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued to do her homework as if no one was around.

"See, it's all the same."

"Indeed, even if I even mentioned flowers, I would still be rejected, let alone a bouquet of flowers."

"Hey, I just saw in the group that a girl in Class 11 above is confessing her love to a boy."

"Who?"

"The woman seems to be Xiao Yuanxi, but I don't know the man."

"Is this true? Xiao Yuanxi is so beautiful, but she actually took the initiative to confess her love to a boy?"

"It seems that the man rejected Xiao Yuanxi, and Xiao Yuanxi is crying."

"Rejected? That's awesome!"

"They're both boys, but look at the difference! Tsk tsk..."

……

The classmates around were all whispering about it, and it soon spread to other gossip.

"I will study hard, try to earn some pocket money, and work hard to become better."

Xu Jinhuan didn't care about what others were saying. He forced a smile and said, "Your classmates are all very nice people. Talk to them more and smile more. Don't have a stern face all the time."

? ?
Chen Xingzhu looked up again, frowned slightly, and looked at him puzzledly.

The same was true for the classmates next to him. The term "daddy style" was not popular in those days, but they all thought that his words were incomprehensible.

"You're too beautiful. If you act cool and aloof, no one will dare to approach you. Don't fall into this vicious cycle."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Just do your homework. I won't disturb you anymore."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, walking out of the classroom with all the students in Class 9 watching him.

"This guy talks a lot!"

"This person, please don't say it, you really shouldn't say it"

“It’s quite impressive.”

"He doesn't think that this will attract Chen Xingzhu's attention, right?"

The boys in the back row were whispering, and one said, "Liu Liangfu, you said before, 'I've seen all kinds of confessions,' so you haven't seen this before, have you?"

… “Wasn’t he rejected too?”

Liu Liangfu, who was "slapped in the face in seconds," retorted, "I've been classmates with Chen Xingzhu since junior high school. I've seen a lot of people like him. Trying to get Chen Xingzhu's attention this way is completely useless!"

"Chen Xingzhu,"

Chen Xingzhu was still doing her homework. Zhou Wei, who sat next to her, hesitated for two seconds before whispering, "Actually... I think what he said makes a lot of sense..."

Chen Xingzhu's icy eyes looked over, and Zhou Wei quickly changed her tone, "Of course, I'm not saying you're difficult to get along with!"

Seeing that Chen Xingzhu didn't look angry, she whispered again, "You're too beautiful and aloof. Everyone thinks you're an iceberg beauty. I didn't even dare to talk to you in my first year of high school..."

The two were classmates in their first year of high school, and in the same class again in their second year of high school, and only then became deskmates. However, they were not very close to each other. If Xu Jinhuan had not just said that, Zhou Wei would never have dared to say these words to Chen Xingzhu.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Wei looked at Chen Xingzhu's expression and asked in a low voice, "You won't be angry if I say this, right?"

Chen Xingzhu shook his head out of habit, then hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something. His expression softened a little, and he shook his head again and said, "I'm not angry."

"That's good."

Zhou Wei couldn't help but smile and started talking more. She asked, "Do you know that boy? He said he's from Class 11. His name is Huan?"

Chen Xingzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"He's so weird. Before, when boys confessed to you and were rejected, they would either leave immediately or ask to be friends or something."

In the past, Chen Xingzhu would have simply shaken her head and remained silent. Seeing her talking more, Zhou Wei felt a little happy and continued, "This Xu Huan, he came up and said he wanted to be friends, but then he said all that. It's so weird..."

"It's a little strange."

Seeing the two chatting about gossip, the girl in front also turned around and joined in. "I just saw in the QQ group that Xiao Yuanxi really confessed to a boy, and he is also in Class 11."

"That Class 11 is really amazing. So many people confessed their love during one break."

"Yes."

Chen Xingzhu did not participate in their conversation, but she did not bury her head in her homework like before. While listening to them chatting, she couldn't help but recall what Xu Jinhuan had just said.

He seemed to be saying "Don't fall into a vicious cycle again"...

Again?--
"are you crazy?"

In the corridor, Xie Zhiqiang had a look of astonishment on his face. "You rejected Xiao Yuanxi, aren't you planning to pursue Chen Xingzhu? No, you've already confessed your feelings to Chen Xingzhu..."

"Stop thinking about it and go to the playground."

Xu Jinhuan patted his shoulder and walked towards the corridor.

"You don't know what you're thinking. You feel like you're crazy... No, you're just crazy."

Xie Zhiqiang couldn't help but persuaded her earnestly, "I'm telling you, don't even think about Chen Xingzhu. If Xiao Yuanxi is the class beauty, then Chen Xingzhu is the school beauty. There are many more people chasing after her than Xiao Yuanxi!
"Tang Jingming has a crush on Chen Xingzhu and is pursuing her. Even Tang Jingming can't catch up with her, and Chen Xingzhu doesn't even pay any attention to him, let alone you..."

Walking out of the corridor, the campus was filled with warm breeze and bright spring sun. Xu Jinhuan felt everything about the youth and vitality of 2012. He was in a good mood and responded with a few words, letting Xie Zhiqiang nag.

From a purely rational point of view, he shouldn't have gone to find Chen Xingzhu just now. Just seeing her was enough. But after five years of life and death, how could Xu Jinhuan bear to see her again?

Moreover, it was because he was too rational and respected Chen Xingzhu's feelings too much in his previous life that their relationship progressed slowly. If he had been more of a "domineering president", perhaps the child would have been able to help out with the cooking, and there would have been no tragedy later.

"None of this matters. If I had to do it all over again, who would want to live a life that follows the rules?"

Originally, although Xu Jinhuan's academic performance was not very good and he was always at the bottom of the class, he was still quite obedient. His biggest rebellion was going to the Internet cafe to play League of Legends. It can be said that he was a law-abiding person throughout his student days.

He once thought that if he was honest and did things according to the rules, he would get what he deserved. Only after entering society did he realize how wrong he was.

As people say online, people like me, who have family education but no family background, are squeezed by Confucianism and strangled by Legalism. Life drags us forward step by step, without even an inch of space to stretch.

In his later life, he had already broken free from the shackles, and now that he has been reborn, he will be even less likely to follow the rules.

"Is it that I was reborn to repeat my boring school life?"

The answer is naturally no.

"Jingle Bell"

The two of them arrived at the playground, and the bell for class had just rung. The classmates had already gathered spontaneously.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan coming over, not only students from Class 11, but also students from nearby classes looked over, pointing and talking, probably having heard about the confession.

"Hurry up, the teacher is over there."

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan was not in a hurry, Xie Zhiqiang urged him in a low voice, but soon his pace slowed down.

There were a few boys squatting next to the Class 11 queue. After seeing the two people, one of them stood up, looked at them unfriendly, and walked towards them.

"Zhang Yu!"

Xie Zhiqiang whispered nervously, "Zhang Yu likes Xiao Yuanxi. He must be pissed off. He's not going to hit you, is he?"

He looked at the PE teacher who was chatting with other teachers and said seriously, "Don't worry, I know you're embarrassed to shout. I'll help you shout teacher later, so that no one will think you're a coward..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yu walked towards him aggressively. Xie Zhiqiang hesitated for a second, then took two steps back and protected Xu Jinhuan in front of him.
