Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 32 [032] Still want to live together

"Ugh……"

Chen Xingzhu put down her pencil and was staring at the portrait in a daze when a sigh suddenly sounded behind her. She was startled at first, but then quickly calmed down, rolled up the portrait and put it in the drawer.

"Why do you suddenly think of your sister?"

Kong Lingyu, who had arrived at her daughter's room at some point, asked softly. She didn't get a response, so she paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "You two have looked exactly the same since you were little. Aside from a small mole hidden under Xing Ruo's eyebrow, there's practically no difference."

Chen Xingzhu opened the book and asked in a cold tone, "Is there something wrong?"

Kong Lingyu was silent for a few seconds before she asked softly, "Auntie said you didn't go home for lunch... Did you eat?"

Chen Xingzhu said calmly: "I ate it."

"That's good. You must eat on time."

Kong Lingyu nodded and was about to leave when she heard Chen Xingzhu say, "I also ate a melon."

Kong Lingyu was stunned.

"A classmate gave it to me."

Chen Xingzhu continued, "He said it was just after Qingming Festival, so there weren't many fruits and vegetables. He got some from a relative's greenhouse. He gave me one and wanted me to take it home, but he was afraid it would make me unhappy, so he cut it up in the noodle shop..."

She turned around, her expression cold and indifferent. Her pure, clear eyes seemed frozen in time. Her voice was still very soft, almost ethereal. "I was very confused at the time. Why did bringing the melon home make me unhappy..."

She paused and asked softly, "Mom, do you know?"

Kong Lingyu's expression was a little stiff. After a long silence, he forced a smile and said, "Xingzhu, Xiaoxue is still young. Don't bother with her..."

"Am I mad at her?"

Chen Xingzhu interrupted her, staring at the woman who was supposed to be closest to him in the world, and had once been closest to him, "Do you think I'm angry because I can't have that piece of melon?"

Kong Lingyu fell silent again, then explained: "Xingzhu, you have to understand your mother. Xiaoxue is young after all, and she doesn't understand... I am her stepmother, and I have to take care of her feelings."

Chen Xingzhu seemed to want to say something, but his chest was heaving, and he took a few deep breaths, but nothing came out.

Kong Lingyu changed the subject and said, "You have a good relationship with that classmate, right? Do you still want to eat melon? I'll ask Auntie to go to the supermarket tomorrow to check..."

Chen Xingzhu said in a cold tone: "I don't want to eat."

Kong Lingyu was about to speak when Chen Xingzhu's cell phone rang. Seeing his daughter pick up the phone, Kong Lingyu sighed, walked out of the room and gently closed the door.

Chen Xingzhu unlocked her phone and saw a text message from Xu Jinhuan with his Apple ID and password attached. The text message asked, "Are you free now?"

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment and replied with one word: "Yeah."

"buzzing"

"buzzing"

The incoming call interface quickly popped up on the screen, and Chen Xingzhu answered the call while turning on his iMac.

"Hey?"

On the other side, Xu Jinhuan lay down in his room and said leisurely, "I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"No."

Chen Xingzhu searched on his computer and opened the Apple developer interface. "Tell me what to do."

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan didn't waste any time. He asked her to help him complete the individual developer certification and paid the 688 yuan individual developer fee. He said, "I will definitely return this money to you. At the same time, given your important help in game development, if this game makes money in the future, I have decided to give you 10% of the profits... This is a business cooperation, you have no right to refuse."

"I do not want."

Chen Xingzhu ignored his last words, "Anything else?"

"Really?" Xu Jinhuan laughed. "Didn't I tell you when I asked for your help that this game still needs testing? How about installing it on your phone? When you're free, you can help me test it. If you're not free, that's fine. I'll test it myself later."

Chen Xingzhu waited a few seconds before asking, "How do I test it?"

Xu Jinhuan then guided her to install the "Flappy Bird" game on her phone, and briefly introduced the gameplay to her. He smiled and said, "You can play it when you are bored. You can tell me if you have any feelings or bugs."

Chen Xingzhu looked at the game opening screen on the phone screen and finally couldn't help asking, "Is this a game you made?"

"correct."

Xu Jinhuan nodded and said with a smug smile, "How's that? Impressive, right? Your impression of me has improved several notches instantly..."

Chen Xingzhu interrupted him: "Anything else?"

"Gone."

After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he was about to say goodbye when he heard a "beep" tone. Chen Xingzhu had already hung up the phone.

Xu Jinhuan put away his phone, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he frowned, realizing that Chen Xingzhu was not in a happy mood.

"We need to find a way to get her to move out of the house as soon as possible..."

He thought secretly and began to look forward to the cat appearing sooner. Otherwise, given Chen Xingzhu's personality and their fragile relationship, it would not be easy to convince her to move out of the house.

Even if she wasn't happy living at home, it was still her home after all, with her closest blood relatives in the world...

"mom,"

Xu Jinhuan came to the living room and saw his parents in the kitchen. He leaned against the door frame and said with a smile, "Haven't you always wanted a daughter? How about I help you find one?"

Song Xiaohui and Xu Haiguang looked at each other, and Song Xiaohui asked, "Did you hear that?"

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan doubted his ears a little, but immediately realized: "You want to bring Zhizhi to live with us?"

"Your mother and I are discussing this."

Both Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui knew their son's relationship with Song Zhiyu wasn't harmonious, so they were both very cautious. Xu Haiguang said, "It's mainly because Zhizhi just returned to China. If he were to study in the city, it would be too inconvenient to live on campus alone... We just happen to have an empty room at home, so it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks..."

Song Xiaohui thought of what her son had just said and asked him, "You just said you wanted to find a daughter. Who is it?"

"I haven't even written my horoscope yet."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I'm just asking casually... If only one girl lives here, it doesn't make any difference whether there are two more girls. It's just like adding a pair of chopsticks..."

Xu Haiguang thought the words sounded familiar, but before he could react, Song Xiaohui said angrily, "Is this about a pair of chopsticks? Who is she? What does it have to do with you? Would her parents agree?"

"She herself didn't agree."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and turned back to the living room. "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. I've just been under a lot of mental stress lately, so I wanted to talk to you..."

Song Xiaohui stopped cooking and chased after him, asking, "Are you in a premature love relationship?"

Without waiting for Xu Jinhuan to answer, his mother grabbed one of his ears and raised her voice, "Do you still want to live together?"

"Ouch, I was just kidding!"

Xu Jinhuan finally broke free from his mother's clutches. "What a joke! How could I possibly fall in love prematurely? Actually, I'm talking about Zhizhi. It's up to you guys to decide. I have no objection."

Song Xiaohui pressed him for a few questions, but Xu Jinhuan refused to admit to a premature love affair. Xu Haiguang was in the kitchen, shouting that the pot was burnt, so she had to go back to the kitchen, not forgetting to threaten him: "Even if you are in a premature love affair, don't do anything out of line... You are not even an adult yet, I will put you in jail later!"

"You really have a sense of law!"

Xu Jinhuan sighed, leaned back on the sofa and looked for something to watch on TV, then thought of Chen Xingzhu again.

Is the little girl playing "Flappy Bird" now?
He was a little excited and wanted to know how Chen Xingzhu would react after being hit and killed repeatedly.
