Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Don't be afraid, little one, I'll protect you."

After learning about the situation, Song Zhiyu tried to comfort Xiaoguai. Since Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu came to the capital to study, Xiaoguai had been given to Song Zhiyu by Chen Xingzhu as a price or hostage, and had been with her all along.

Therefore, putting aside the mysterious "past life" bond between Xiao Guai and Chen Xingzhu, Song Zhiyu is indeed the person closest to Xiao Guai among them. In addition, after hiding alone for half a day, Xiao Guai did not hide when she heard her call her, and let her hug her on the sofa.

"Watch Mom avenge you!"

Song Zhiyu didn't know when she had given herself a senior title, especially in front of Chen Xingzhu—Chen Xingzhu usually only referred to herself as "older sister" in front of Xiaoguai, so Song Zhiyu's actions were somewhat suspicious of taking advantage of her.

She spoke very naturally, hugged and stroked Xiao Guai, then walked over to Xiao Huang, who was squatting next to the sofa, and said fiercely, "Who told you to bully my Xiao Guai?"

Although she looked fierce, Little Yellow couldn't tell. When she saw her coming over and talking to him, he thought she wanted to play with him, so he immediately wagged his tail to greet her.

"Did you bully our little darling?"

Song Zhiyu wasn't Xie Wanqing, so of course she didn't feel soft-hearted or embarrassed. She continued to use Xiao Huang to establish her authority, fiercely threatening it. She even raised a white, tender foot with traces of water and pressed the tip of her slipper against Xiao Huang's neck, saying, "Quickly apologize to our little darling!"

Little Yellow couldn't understand what she was saying, and Little Guai naturally couldn't understand either. The cat's paws pressed against her chest, and it started to struggle restlessly in her arms. Song Zhiyu quickly hugged it tightly to comfort it.

Xiao Guai struggled but couldn't move. She turned her head and looked down at Xiao Huang. Seeing how docile Xiao Huang was, she actually calmed down a little. However, she only gave up struggling and was still nervous.

"Stop stirring things up here, just let them get along."

Chen Xingzhu's dissatisfied voice came from the phone, "They'll find a way to get along on their own."

"You're not here, so don't try to control me remotely."

Song Zhiyu retorted, "Either you come over now," she said, seemingly quite pleased with herself, and then chuckled, as if she had somehow connected the dots, "to walk right into our trap..."

Don't forget your summer homework!

Chen Xingzhu sealed the victory with a single sentence: "I know who your homeroom teacher is. I'll remind her later that you're not doing your summer homework."

Xu Jinhuan asked curiously, "How do you know who her homeroom teacher is?"

"That's your former homeroom teacher."

Chen Xingzhu said with a slight smile, "Now that you're a big celebrity at school, ask your teacher, Mr. Fu, to take good care of your sister. Mr. Fu would definitely be happy to help."

"A vicious woman!"

Song Zhiyu gritted her teeth. Although she didn't think Chen Xingzhu was closer to her than Xu Jinhuan, Chen Xingzhu was the official couple. This was true not only at school but also in public. After all, Chen Xingzhu had already promoted herself on "The Voice of China," and songs like "A Little Happiness" and "Birds and Cicadas" were wildly popular. It could be said that every song was filled with Xu Jinhuan's love for Chen Xingzhu.

In this situation, if Chen Xingzhu really greets Fu Qingxuan, it's basically equivalent to a sister-in-law showing concern for her sister-in-law's studies. Plus, Chen Xingzhu is already quite famous at Suicheng No. 1 High School, so it's obvious what Fu Qingxuan will do.

However, knowing the outcome, although she wanted nothing more than to strip Chen Xingzhu naked and throw her onto Xu Jinhuan's bed, after cursing her, she quickly put on a sweet and obedient smile, hugged Xiao Guai and brought her close to the phone camera, sweetly saying, "Sister Xingzhu, don't do this. You've been through high school, how can you threaten your junior with such a vicious thing?"

Chen Xingzhu, unlike Chen Xingruo, didn't dwell on the topic. She simply said, "As long as they don't fight, there's no need to interfere. Otherwise, they might mistakenly think you're closer to someone else, which could actually increase their hatred."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Xingzhu."

Xu Jinhuan knew without a second thought that Song Zhiyu definitely wouldn't listen to Chen Xingzhu, but that didn't stop the little girl from putting on a very obedient and well-behaved attitude. Coupled with her pure and innocent little face, it was quite convincing. "Okay, I'm hanging up now."

Chen Xingzhu didn't say much, just waved her hand and said, "Remember to make sure he washes his face."

Xu Jinhuan, at his age, has no interest in skincare or maintenance, nor does he think the others need to. However, the three of them—initially Xie Wanqing made him use face wash, but Sister Xie's words didn't have much binding force. Unfortunately, things changed after Chen Xingzhu joined in, and now there's a sense of mandatory supervision.

Especially now that Song Zhiyu has arrived, she's not as easily fooled as Xie Wanqing, and she's also quite mischievous, practically using this as a way to torment Xu Jinhuan.

In her own words, this was called reciprocal retaliation.

Because Xu Jinhuan had also tormented him quite a bit, the more Xu Jinhuan didn't want to wash his face, the more excited she became, almost to the point of saying the villain's line, "The more you resist, the more excited I get."

"Okay, I'll go wash my face."

Xu Jinhuan sighed and got up. Anyway, the sooner he finished washing up, the sooner he could go to bed.

He got up to go back to his room and saw Xie Wanqing coming out of the bathroom in her pajamas. The two met face to face, and Xie Wanqing immediately became wary when she met his eyes. She covered her chest with her hands and backed away to avoid being teased by him in front of Song Zhiyu.

Although she had already been teased more thoroughly in front of Song Zhiyu before, she still felt very embarrassed, unlike Song Zhiyu who was so "open".

Xu Jinhuan pouted, seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of her, so he patted her head and went to wash his face.

When he returned from the bathroom, he saw Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing sitting on the sofa. Song Zhiyu seemed to be pulling Xie Wanqing to do something.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan walked over and asked, then saw Xie Wanqing suddenly stand up, glance back at him, say "I'm going to sleep," and then run off quickly in small steps.

She opened the door, but then stopped, holding onto it, and waved to Xiao Guai, who was squatting next to the water dispenser, saying, "Xiao Guai, come here, I'll protect you."

Song Zhiyu snorted, "I'm its mother, so by that logic, I'm your mother too."

Xie Wanqing ignored her. Seeing that Xiao Guai didn't come over, she went over and hugged it in her arms, then quickly ran back into the room and slammed the door shut.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan turned back to look at Song Zhiyu and repeated her question.

"fine."

Song Zhiyu pouted and got up from the sofa. "I tried my best, but people think we can't let you get used to this kind of thing, otherwise you'll go too far in the future... then I can't help you."

As she spoke, she came to Xu Jinhuan's side, stretched out her two fair and smooth arms to wrap around his neck, a sweet smile appeared on her pure and pretty face, and her voice was sickeningly sweet, "So, tonight, brother, it's just me letting you do whatever you want..."

Her age, status, and innocent appearance were in stark contrast to her current words and actions. Even Xu Jinhuan couldn't quite handle it. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, laughing, "It's alright, let's just stay here then."

Song Zhiyu was taken aback. She glanced around the living room, then blushed, bit her lip, looked at him with her big, bright eyes, and nodded gently.

Then he couldn't speak anymore. (End of Chapter)
