Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 46 [046] Closer Relationship

Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin were both going the same way as Chen Xingzhu. After leaving the school gate, they waited for the bus together at the bus stop across the street. Xu Jinhuan rode by on his beat-up old bicycle and waved at them, "Bye."

"Bye~"

Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin both waved at him and responded enthusiastically.

Chen Xingzhu still didn't say anything, just looked at his departing back with a complicated look in her eyes.

She has not yet experienced the events that originally happened in her senior year of high school, and her personality is not as closed as it would be a few years later. However, due to the insecurity brought about by her own experience, she is naturally pessimistic about human nature and does not believe that there are such events in this world where two people are born to be a perfect match.

Even if there are two such people, and they are male and female, the probability of them meeting is extremely small.

In this case, from her perspective, there are not many reasonable explanations:

First, Xu Jinhuan has a very high emotional intelligence and is very compatible with those below him.

This is very likely to be the answer she prefers.

This answer can be divided into two possibilities. One is that he is well-intentioned and tolerates his own eccentric personality out of consideration and gentleness; the other is that he is deliberately disguising himself.

Second, Xu Jinhuan knows himself very well, just like two people who have been together for a very long time and know each other's personality, preferences and various details very well, so they get along very harmoniously.

This possibility was very low and was ruled out as soon as it flashed through her mind.

Before Xu Jinhuan suddenly ran into the classroom to confess his feelings that day, the two of them had never even spoken or met. How could he possibly know her so well?
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

When Xu Jinhuan returned home, he saw a sumptuous meal on the dining table, but his parents were nowhere to be seen in the living room. He asked curiously, "Where are you?"

"Here it is!"

Xu Jinhuan followed the sound to the utility room opposite his room. He saw a lot of things piled up at the door. His parents were cleaning inside. He asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

"Clean up this room."

Xu Haiguang turned around and explained, "Your uncle called this morning and said he would be back for the May Day holiday, so your mother planned to clean up this room first, so that she wouldn't have to rush around whenever she wants to move in."

Song Xiaohui paused, sizing up her son's expression, and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about Zhizhi moving in?"

Xu Haiguang also said: "If you have anything to say, say it now. When someone moves in later, don't cause any conflicts."

"I have no idea. What idea can I have?"

Xu Jinhuan spread his hands and said, "I wish she would return home soon. I'm still waiting for her to bring me a gift."

Song Xiaohui asked angrily, "What gift did Zhizhi bring you?"

"Eat first, eat first."

Xu Haiguang asked his wife and son to go eat first. Xu Jinhuan followed him out and said with a smile, "My birthday is coming up soon. Zhizhi asked me to prepare a gift for me. We are siblings and have a deep affection for each other. I can't refuse her thoughtful gesture, can I?"

"You two still have a deep brother-sister relationship. It's good that you don't have any deep hatred..."

Song Xiaohui sighed helplessly, "We were close when we were little, but I don't know what happened. We became more and more immature as we grew older..."

"Isn't she very considerate to prepare a gift for me to apologize?"

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will be sensible enough to accept her gift and forgive her for being young and naive..."

"Don't worry about it."

Xu Haiguang sat down at the table and casually advised his wife, "As long as there's no quarrel, it's fine. If you want to give a gift, then give it..." "Go wash your hands!"

Before my father could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud roar. He could only sigh and go wash his hands obediently.

Xu Jinhuan also lined up to wash his hands and asked, "Will she move in with us when she returns to China?"

"do not know yet."

Song Xiaohui was a little worried. In fact, although she cared about Song Zhiyu, she was not sure about letting Song Zhiyu live in her house. After all, she had not spent much time with Song Zhiyu and was not familiar with her.

Moreover, Song Zhiyu grew up abroad, so her living habits and concepts were definitely different from those in China. Furthermore, her parents were divorced, and she was suddenly in an unfamiliar environment, especially as a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen...

It’s worrying just thinking about becoming the de facto guardian of a girl like this.

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Jinhuan muttered softly, a little surprised, because he remembered that in history, Song Zhiyu only came back after the summer vacation.

"Is it the change brought about by my two phone calls?"

He secretly calculated in his mind that, apart from other factors, the only variable was his own rebirth.

But it doesn't matter. He just returned home two months earlier. Compared with the huge change of Song Zhiyu moving back home, it's nothing.

This was the first time in his past and present lives that he was "living together" with a girl, and to be honest, he was a little nervous.

This is naturally not because of Song Zhiyu, but because of my mother.

Everyone in the family knows that my mother is an adopted daughter. In history, after Chen Xingzhu passed away, as he grew older, seeing that his son was still single, his parents kept urging him to get married.

Perhaps she was crazy about wanting a daughter-in-law. During a casual chat one time, her mother even suggested in a euphemism, "It's just because her parents are divorced and she hasn't had a boyfriend in all these years, so why not..." At that time, Xu Jinhuan had just clinked glasses with his father when a mouthful of Maotai sprayed out of his nostrils.

——If we look at it from a longer time dimension, when the two of them were very young, grandma had told similar jokes more than once.

This is probably because my grandparents are still influenced by some of the ideas of the older generation. Their biological son is thousands of miles away, and the daughter who is by their side has no blood relationship with them. This makes the old couple feel insecure deep down, and they want to tie their daughter and son-in-law's family closer by strengthening the relationship.

This is not a lack of trust, but human nature. The older generation has experienced a lot and seen a lot, so they are more open-minded about such things and don't take them seriously at all.

Now that Song Zhiyu was moving in, Xu Jinhuan was a little worried about what his grandpa, grandma, and mom might do next...

He is thick-skinned and of course doesn't care about these things, but it is impossible for Song Zhiyu at this age not to care.

"We have to find a way to let Chen Xingzhu meet our parents as soon as possible."

Xu Jinhuan pondered secretly that although he and Chen Xingzhu had not confirmed their relationship in history, his parents had met her and liked her very much, otherwise they would not have waited until several years after her death to urge them to get married.

As for meeting Chen Xingzhu's parents, this matter will only happen sooner. He wants to protect Chen Xingzhu from being hurt by the people closest to her, so he must face her current family head-on.

In short, we are ready for battle!

After lunch, Xu Jinhuan took a nap and came to the classroom with his exam supplies and water cup. He found that Gu Siying was already there. There were still several boys and girls around her, discussing the questions of the morning's physics test with her.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan coming over, Gu Siying rolled her eyes at him, causing several people around to turn around curiously and look at Xu Jinhuan.

Two of the girls seemed to recognize Xu Jinhuan. They watched him sit down at the table behind Chen Xingzhu, looked at each other with subtle expressions, and then looked at Gu Siying, as if they wanted to confirm something with their eyes.

Xu Jinhuan didn't care. If he was at this age, he might be complacent about the feeling of being noticed. But now... it can't be said that he didn't care at all, but it can be said that he didn't care at all.
