Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Nobody's forcing you to be a pretty face."

Chen Xingzhu glanced back at her younger sister and said, "You can try to become a flower, and then you can be a vase."

???

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Xingzhu, somewhat suspecting that Chen had also gone astray.

The way the two sisters said it made it impossible for him to think in the right direction!

Can you blame yourself for having unhealthy thoughts?

"I am a flower."

Chen Xingruo mumbled twice, took her phone, and leaned back in the back seat. She then held out her phone to show Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu, saying, "Look, my fans are praising me."

"Yes, you are good-looking."

Xu Jinhuan was driving when Chen Xingzhu turned around and said to her sister in a somewhat helpless tone, then chuckled and shifted her gaze from her sister's face to Xu Jinhuan's profile: "Does this count as bragging?"

Chen Xingruo said with a grin, "Of course not, I'm just telling the truth."

? ?
Xu Jinhuan frowned, feeling a bit strange, and glanced at Chen Xingzhu.

Chen seemed to know he would look over, met his gaze, gave a slight smile, then looked away and sat up straight again.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't mince words and asked directly, "Why do you seem a bit strange tonight? Are you in a bad mood?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingruo remained in a side-lying sitting position, but she clearly shifted from a relaxed state to a focused one, leaning slightly forward as she stared at her sister.

"No."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head, then smiled at him, "If I weren't happy, I wouldn't be smiling like that."

"That makes sense."

Xu Jinhuan felt that he was overthinking things. At this moment, there was only himself and Chen Xingruo in the car. He was sure that he hadn't upset her recently, and it was even less likely that Chen Xingruo had—of course, it wasn't that Chen Xingruo was particularly well-behaved, but rather that even if Chen Xingruo did something incredibly stupid, Chen Xingzhu wouldn't care and would just laugh it off.

Just like Kong Lingyu a few years ago, Chen Xingzhu's behavior when facing Kong Lingyu proved that she was much easier to bully than she seemed.

To some extent, his own actions also prove this point. Even his reluctance to turn on the lights or do strange things is ultimately because he is unwilling to force himself on; otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged it out until now.

"Xu Jinhuan, have you thought about something?"

Xu Jinhuan continued driving, but Chen Xingzhu seemed to have taken a conversational approach and asked without waiting for his answer, "What's the difference between two people who start dating at eighteen, twenty-two, and twenty-six?"

Xu Jinhuan found the question a bit strange, but the answer flashed through his mind immediately. However, he didn't say it aloud and pretended to be clueless, asking, "What's the difference?"

"The later you fall in love, the greater the probability of staying together for life."

Chen Xingzhu didn't keep anyone in suspense. She wasn't really asking for an answer, so she shared her thoughts: "The later you start dating, the more mature you become, and the more stable you are in all aspects. Conversely, if you start dating too early, you're very unstable in all aspects, and it's easy to break up over small things..."

Chen Xingruo didn't speak, but her body relaxed again. She leaned back in the seat and listened to her sister's philosophy of life. Her clear and bright eyes were fixed on her sister, occasionally glancing at the back of Xu Jinhuan's head before returning to her sister.

"That makes some sense."

Xu Jinhuan nodded in agreement, "But similarly, the earlier you fall in love, the purer and more passionate your feelings will be."

"And I also saw a claim online,"

Chen Xingzhu seemed not to hear Xu Jinhuan's words and continued to speak, "When two people are together, it is actually difficult to change each other. Therefore, instead of hoping to change each other, it is better to find the right person from the beginning."

Xu Jinhuan sensed something was off again. Taking advantage of the traffic light, he stopped the car, turned around and stared at her: "What are you babbling about? I haven't been doing anything lately, have I?" "No, I'm just chatting."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head, and even gave him a sly, playful smile. "Why are you nervous? Feeling guilty?"

"You scared me! I thought you were going to break up with me."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't lying; he was genuinely a little frightened. The girl's behavior tonight was too abnormal. "It's good that it's not a breakup. Then please continue."

Chen Xingruo rolled her eyes from behind, but neither of the two people in front saw it.

No, I'm done talking.

Chen Xingzhu smiled faintly, "What I'm trying to say is that it's easier and simpler to be certain from the beginning than to try to change the other person later. Of course, it's also very difficult to be certain from the beginning, especially after you've made up your mind, you still have to put up with all sorts of bad things about the other person..."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but ask, "I don't have many bad points, do I?"

"Mostly, not much."

Chen Xingruo seemed unable to hold back any longer and answered for her sister, "But just one is unbearable..."

With two seconds left before the green light, Xu Jinhuan slowly released the brake, glancing back at his sister-in-law as she saw her utter two words of disgust: "Scumbag!"

"What's your business?"

Xu Jinhuan turned back to continue driving, and couldn't help but reply, but he was feeling guilty—specifically, guilty towards Chen Xingzhu sitting next to him—so he didn't speak loudly, lest Chen, who was acting a bit strangely tonight, retort with "You scumbag, and you still have the nerve to talk back?"

Although this is not Chen Xingzhu's usual style, she is clearly not her usual self tonight, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't say something like this.

Chen Xingruo snorted but didn't continue arguing with him. She asked curiously, "Sister, do you think your choice was right?"

'Is that even a question?'

Xu Jinhuan subconsciously gave an answer in her mind, but didn't hear Chen Xingzhu reply. She turned her head and glanced at her, seeing Chen Xingzhu turn around and look back at Chen Xingruo, asking in return, "What do you think?"

Chen Xingruo seemed surprised by her sister's question, blinking blankly with a perfectly timed look of innocent naiveté at being asked about something she didn't know: "You're the one in a relationship, why are you asking me?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "The bystander sees most of the game."

"Ok."

Chen Xingruo tilted her head slightly, seemingly thinking seriously for a moment, then glanced at Xu Jinhuan, who was looking at her through the rearview mirror. She gave him a threatening look.

Xu Jinhuan ignored her, expecting Chen Xingruo to take the opportunity to slander him, but instead she said, "I think he's pretty good. Although he's not that handsome, he gets quite pleasing to the eye after a while."

"That's good."

Chen Xingzhu smiled, then turned back to sit up straight, but glanced at Xu Jinhuan again, smiling and teasingly saying, "Aren't you happy? I'm praising you."

"What's so exciting about this?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled while maintaining a reserved demeanor, "I deserve it, right?"

Chen Xingzhu didn't answer, but sighed softly and stopped talking.

Xu Jinhuan asked curiously, "Why are you sighing?"

"It's nothing, just a sigh."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head. As the car approached Honolulu, she suddenly said, "The box office should reach one billion this week, right? That means Xingruo lost?" (End of Chapter)
