Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 34 [034] Smuggling Contraband

Song Zhiyu was quite uncomfortable, and after a few seconds she said, "It's nine o'clock in the evening here, and I've already eaten."

"What do you eat over there?"

Xu Jinhuan continued chatting, "Hamburgers or something?"

"I'm having steak with my parents tonight."

"That's very good."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and asked, "Have you decided to return home? Should we wait until the end of this semester?"

"No, I'll leave in a while."

Song Zhiyu didn't want to discuss this with him, so she took the initiative to change the subject to business. "I've thought about it. You're not familiar with that girl, so giving her a gift that's too sensitive will definitely get her rejected. It's safer to give her a more ordinary gift. If she has good grades, a gift related to her studies would be best."

"You have a point."

Xu Jinhuan pretended to think about it before agreeing, so that Song Zhiyu would find her suggestion meaningful. "I really didn't think of this. It would be a bit embarrassing if I was rejected. It would be safer to follow your method and proceed step by step..."

"That's the truth."

Song Zhiyu felt better after hearing what he said. "You can decide what to give me. I'm hanging up now."

"Ok, bye."

After Xu Jinhuan hung up the phone, he saw Chen Xingzhu eating noodles silently and took the initiative to explain: "My cousin has been living abroad, but my uncle and aunt divorced a few days ago. She has no one to take care of her, so she is preparing to return home."

Chen Xingzhu paused in eating noodles, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

“Actually, this is pretty good.”

Xu Jinhuan sighed and began to speak with some personal feelings. "My uncle and aunt are both busy with work, and they will probably start new families in the future. It's not good for her to be with them. Sometimes, because she is their biological child, she has to suffer injustice, just like some children who pass on their worst tempers to their parents..."

He kept on rambling, not mentioning Chen Xingzhu at all, but every word hinted at something like, "Since that's the case, it's better not to follow anyone and just move out. Anyway, both her parents give her money, so she won't be short of living expenses..."

"This way, I can see my parents occasionally and feel close to them. Not only will it not be damaged by trivial matters in life, but it can also maintain the original affection. Maybe because I live away from home, my parents will feel guilty, and their relationship will be better..."

As Xu Jinhuan was talking, he suddenly realized that Chen Xingzhu stopped eating noodles. Her cold and clear eyes stared at him without blinking.

Xu Jinhuan pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu asked with a cold look in his eyes: "What do you know?"

"what?"

Xu Jinhuan continued to play dumb, "What do you mean? I'm talking about my cousin...what's wrong?"

"fine."

Chen Xingzhu didn't know whether she believed it or not. She lowered her head and continued to eat noodles. Occasionally she seemed to be in a trance, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The little girl was too smart and would easily alert the enemy if she wasn't careful. Xu Jinhuan stopped trying to persuade her and instead talked about her studies.

Although Chen Xingzhu didn't pay much attention to him, he would still give brief answers when asked key questions.

"Give me the money."

After the meal, they both paid for the meal. Chen Xingzhu took out the money and Xu Jinhuan reached out to take her money. Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment and then handed it to him.

Anyway, you pay for it yourself, it just passes through his hands, it makes no difference who hands it to the boss.

After returning to the library, Chen Xingzhu took a nap on the table. Xu Jinhuan didn't sleep and continued to do his exercises. Occasionally, he looked up and stared at her openly.

After Chen Xingzhu woke up, he lay down to sleep. When he woke up, he found that he had a pool of drool, and some of the drool even flowed towards Chen Xingzhu.

He was a little embarrassed and wanted to wipe it with a tissue, but found that he didn't bring any.

Chen Xingzhu didn't say anything and handed over a few tissues. Xu Jinhuan was so grateful that he wanted to hug her and kiss her. He quickly wiped it clean and threw it in the trash can.

Around four o'clock, Chen Xingzhu packed up and left. Xu Jinhuan followed her out of the library and said, "I don't have internet at home. Could you please keep an eye on it for me? Once it's approved, help me apply to list it on the App Store. I'll fix it if there are any problems."

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, determined to be a good person to the end: "...Okay."

"grateful."

Xu Jinhuan performed the highest etiquette in the underworld towards her - a bow, then took the bicycle, supported himself with one foot, watched her get on the bus, and then rode his bicycle home.

"What have you been doing these past two days?"

After dinner, Xie Zhiqiang returned to the classroom, where he was bragging about his incredible performance on Summoner's Rift. He appeared to be playing in a five-man team with Li Hang, Wang Yuan, and the others. Seeing Xu Jinhuan approach, Xie Zhiqiang couldn't help but ask, "I asked you to come to a five-man team..."

"Review."

The learning atmosphere in Suicheng No. 1 Middle School is already good. Even when Xie Zhiqiang and others play games, they do so after finishing their homework. Xu Jinhuan doesn't think it's shameful to study hard, and he answered with confidence.

"real or fake?"

Xie Zhiqiang was very skeptical, "Are you so serious?"

"I'm serious!"

Xu Jinhuan sat down and was about to continue working on his questions when Li Hang suddenly turned around and said mysteriously, "Xu Jinhuan, I heard someone say that Xiao Yuanxi confessed to you because she lost a bet and didn't really like you... Is that true?"

When he asked this, many people around him immediately turned around to look at him.

Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw that Xiao Yuanxi had not arrived yet, and Tang Jingming was not there either. Instead, Zhang Yu was there, and he turned around to look over here.

"is it?"

Xu Jinhuan said casually, "Isn't that better?"

"..."

Everyone was surprised that he was so calm.

"really?"

Wang Yuan couldn't help but say, "Isn't this the idea Xu Jinhuan came up with earlier?"

"I feel so too."

A few boys were whispering in the back row, trying not to let the girls in the front row who were close to Xiao Yuanxi hear them, so as to avoid getting into trouble.

"What are you talking nonsense about?"

Ever since Zhang Yu was beaten by Xu Jinhuan and had no way to get back at him, he has obviously become much more restrained in class and no longer has his previous arrogance.

Since Xu Jinhuan was involved in this matter, he was even more afraid to get involved. However, after observing for a while and seeing that Xu Jinhuan had never participated, he finally plucked up the courage to speak to Li Hang and the other boys.

"Talking about a girl behind her back is quite glorious, right?"

As soon as Zhang Yu opened his mouth, he used the same old trick, first accusing someone and then preparing to show his strength. "That was said by Tang Jingming. He was playing with Xiao Yuanxi at the time. How dare you question him in front of the class monitor?"

Although he was beaten by Xu Jinhuan and no longer had the same prestige as before, he had been domineering in the class for a long time and still had some power left. Several boys immediately fell silent.

But some people weren't afraid, so Wang Yuan immediately retorted, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my brother Huan isn't worthy of Xiao Yuanxi's love?"

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but look up at Wang Yuan. Why didn't he realize that this kid was so good at stirring up trouble before... Does this matter have anything to do with me?

"you……"

Wang Yuan was also making accusations, and his actions were very far-fetched, but the effect was very good. When Zhang Yu heard him say that, he really didn't dare to respond.

Especially when he saw Xu Jinhuan looking up at him, Zhang Yu felt even more guilty. He didn't even say a word, but just said "huh", showing an attitude of disdain to argue with Wang Yuan, and turned around to pretend to play with his mobile phone.

"Isn't it?"

Wang Yuan saw this and understood that Zhang Yu was afraid of Xu Jinhuan. He pressed the issue, saying, "Brother Huan asked us to keep Xiao Yuanxi's secret the other day, saying that Xiao Yuanxi confessed to him because she lost a bet. And now you're saying that she really lost the bet... Do you think we're stupid or deaf? Uh..."

As he was speaking, Xiao Yuanxi, Tang Jingming and several other boys and girls walked into the classroom together. Wang Yuan suddenly stopped talking in embarrassment.

He was not afraid of Zhang Yu, but he was undoubtedly still very intimidated when facing Tang Jingming, the class monitor who was very prestigious in the class.

All the students in the classroom immediately looked at Xiao Yuanxi. Although Xiao Yuanxi didn't understand what had happened, he heard Wang Yuan's words at the door and could guess what had happened.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, her fair and beautiful face suddenly turned red.

"That's a good opportunity. I'll take this opportunity to explain."

Seeing this, Tang Jingming's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision. He spoke out loudly, "This matter is indeed a misunderstanding. It was the birthday of a classmate of mine and Xiao Yuanxi's from the first year of high school. We were playing a game, and Xiao Yuanxi lost the dare, so he confessed his love to Xu Jinhuan... If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Haiying from Class 19, Zou Li from Class 9, and Yuan Zhengze from Class 14. They all knew about it that day."

He was already very prestigious in the class, and his words were clear and well-reasoned. Even though many classmates had preconceived notions about the confession that day, they were still skeptical.

Then, these people couldn't help but turn around and look at Xu Jinhuan.

Then Xu Jinhuan stood up with a smile.
