Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 30 [030] Purely by chance

"uncle."

Although they didn't meet often, Song Xiaofeng would bring gifts to Xu Jinhuan every time he returned to China since he was a child, so he was very close to his uncle.

After chatting for a while, Song Xiaofeng asked, "Why are you calling at this time? What's the matter?"

"No, I just wanted to know when you'll be back."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "It would be great if you could come back before my birthday..."

"That's hard to say."

Song Xiaofeng laughed, "Why, do you want a gift?"

"Really? I just told Zhizhi about it."

It was just Song Zhiyu's nickname. Xu Jinhuan was not keeping it a secret, but was trying to tell his uncle that his relationship with Song Zhiyu had eased.

"Okay, I'll ask her later."

Song Xiaofeng was indeed very happy because the two were getting divorced and were going to send Song Zhiyu back to China. He had always been a little worried about the relationship between his daughter and nephew, so he was naturally happy to see that their relationship had eased.

Xu Jinhuan returned the phone to his grandfather. After hanging up, Song Xiaohui asked her son, "What did you just say to Zhizhi? Why did you run outside to make a phone call..."

"Just chatting."

Xu Jinhuan knew what his mother was worried about and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there was no quarrel."

Song Xiaohui was skeptical.

"Grandpa, grandma, I have to go back."

After the call, Xu Jinhuan chatted for a while, then was about to leave. "I'm going back to read and do my homework."

Grandpa and grandma didn't want him to leave, but when they heard that he wanted to go back to read, they didn't try to stop him. They gave him two melons and asked him to take them home to eat.

"I'll just take one."

There is no shortage of fruits and vegetables in rural areas, but it is just after the Qingming Festival, and 2012 is not like the later generations where fruits and vegetables are grown in greenhouses everywhere. Many technologies have not been popularized, and the first batch of fruits and vegetables are still very rare.

This was grown in a greenhouse by a relative of a relative and then sent here.

Xu Jinhuan brought a melon, and his grandfather drove him to the bus on his electric tricycle. He went home first, and then rode his bicycle to the city library. It was almost half past eleven.

He went to the third floor and saw that there were people sitting near Chen Xingzhu's seat, only the seat next to her was empty. Perhaps her aura was too strong, so he didn't feel comfortable sitting next to her.

As Xu Jinhuan walked to the table, he saw a boy walking out from the gap between the bookshelves next to him. He had fair skin, long hair, and a delicate appearance. He had a handsome look that combined the looks of a man with a feminine appearance. He seemed to want to sit down next to Chen Xingzhu, but was a little timid.

While he was hesitating, the handsome boy caught a glimpse of Xu Jinhuan walking towards him. Perhaps stimulated by the potential competitor, he walked straight towards Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu didn't take a seat. The handsome boy, probably out of habit, or perhaps wanting to show off his gentlemanly demeanor, politely asked her, "Hello, is anyone sitting here?"

Chen Xingzhu raised his head and glanced at the other person, then caught a glimpse of Xu Jinhuan walking over and looking at him.

Xu Jinhuan took two quick steps over and said with a smile, "Sorry, someone's here."

The handsome boy was stunned. He obviously didn't expect someone so shameless. Unsure of what was going on, he pointed to the empty seat next to Chen Xingzhu and asked Xu Jinhuan, "Is this your seat?"

Chen Xingzhu said softly: "Sorry, there are people here."

She spoke softly, with a completely nonchalant expression, as if the two conversations between Xu Jinhuan and the other party had never existed at all, and she was just answering the other party's questions.

The handsome boy was startled. He looked at Xu Jinhuan, then at her, with an embarrassed expression: "Sorry."

He looked at Xu Jinhuan again, then put on his schoolbag and went to the empty seat at the table next to him.

Xu Jinhuan sat down next to Chen Xingzhu without saying a word. He took out a book from his bag and sat down to practice the questions seriously.

He had just written less than half a page when Chen Xingzhu next to him stood up and left. Xu Jinhuan was about to follow her when he suddenly saw her take two tissues out of her schoolbag and hold them in her hands, so he sat down again.

'It's really troublesome to be quiet,'

Watching Chen Xingzhu walk towards the bathroom, Xu Jinhuan muttered secretly, 'I thought you were going to eat...' A few minutes later, Chen Xingzhu came back, opened his schoolbag, seemed to have taken something, but it seemed that he had taken nothing, flipped through it, and left again.

Xu Jinhuan immediately understood that she had come back specifically to tell him that they were going to eat, so he took out the melon from his bag and followed her out of the library.

Sure enough, Chen Xingzhu walked straight towards the noodle shop.

The shop owner already remembered them both and continued to speak to Chen Xingzhu first: "Still want a large bowl of thin noodles? What do you want to add?"

Chen Xingzhu said: "Dried flower, pork belly."

"okay."

The boss responded and asked Xu Jinhuan, "Handsome guy or a big bowl of wide noodles?"

"Correct."

Xu Jinhuan agreed and just as he turned around, he saw the handsome boy who had just "grabbed" the seat also entered the store.

"A big bowl of wide noodles with a piece of pork belly."

A table in this restaurant can seat four people, but there are not many people today. Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu sit across from each other at the table. It is naturally inconvenient for the delicate boy to share the table, so he sits next to them.

Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu sat in silence. Chen Xingzhu was browsing Weibo on her iPhone, and Xu Jinhuan was watching her. Soon, they heard the boss call out, "Classmates, your noodles are ready."

Chen Xingzhu stood up, and Xu Jinhuan had already strode over. She pursed her lips and followed him.

"Please sit down."

Xu Jinhuan put her noodles on the table, and the boss called out again: "Two big bowls of wide noodles are ready."

The handsome boy went over with Xu Jinhuan to serve noodles. Seeing that there was only noodles in his bowl, he was reluctant to add anything else. After sitting down, he glanced at him sideways, and his expression was obviously more confident.

Obviously, Xu Jinhuan's poverty made him feel superior.

However, this feeling of superiority only lasted for less than two seconds. As Chen Xingzhu pushed the bowl of noodles towards Xu Jinhuan, pressing it against his bowl, and carefully picked up the noodles from his bowl and gave them to Xu Jinhuan, the expression on the boy's delicate face was obviously frozen.

"Why?"

The delicate boy scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, "How can this guy, who is so poor that he can't even afford to spend an egg, have such a beautiful girlfriend?"

If I had a girl like this, let alone adding food, I would definitely not bring her to a street shop like this to eat. We would definitely go to KFC or Pizza Hut, right?
But why do boys like this get the upper hand?

Why does he do that?!
When the boy saw Chen Xingzhu secretly picked up a small piece of meat and mixed it into the noodles and put it in Xu Jinhuan's bowl, his defense was completely broken. He no longer looked at this heartbreaking scene and buried his head in slurping the noodles.

"enough."

The boss gave more noodles today. Xu Jinhuan stopped Chen Xingzhu from giving more noodles, took the last noodle from her bowl, and then they ate the noodles separately.

Of course, he was not greedy for the noodle, but if he took the noodle from his own bowl and gave it to her, she would definitely be disgusted.

This time Xu Jinhuan ate a little faster, eating twice as much noodles as Chen Xingzhu, but he finished earlier. Then he took the melon out of his coat pocket.

"Boss, can I borrow a knife?"

Xu Jinhuan went to ask the boss and borrowed a knife, then sat down at the table and casually said while cutting a melon, "It's just after Qingming Festival, and the early peaches will still take more than a month. This melon is grown in a greenhouse, and we don't have many here. Someone gave it to my grandma, so I took one..."

Seeing his affectionate tone, the handsome boy took a last bite of noodles, wiped his mouth and left quickly, not wanting to eat dog food here anymore.

"I originally wanted you to take the melon home, but then I remembered that your sister likes to eat this kind of melon."

Xu Jinhuan lowered his head, dug out the melon pulp, and said softly, "Don't worry about how I know this, I just know... If you really take the melon home, it will probably make you unhappy. Why don't we eat it here together? If you're full, you can cut it up first and eat it slowly in the afternoon."

Chen Xingzhu had just finished her noodles and was still hesitating whether to leave. When she heard him say that, she froze in her tracks while wiping the corner of her mouth. After a few seconds, she looked him straight in the face. Her icy eyes emanated a distinct chill as she asked in a steady tone, "How did you know?"

"I'll tell you later."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't a love-sick person, so it was impossible for him to tell her the secret of his rebirth. But it wouldn't hurt to lay out a bait. He wanted to catch the fish first. He smiled and said, "I assure you, I haven't followed you or investigated you. It was purely accidental..."
