Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 48 [048] I wait for him to take me home on his bike
Xiao Yuanxi looked at this scene and for some reason, felt a little uncomfortable.

This is naturally not because of Tang Jingming. The two have known each other for many years. If there were any signs, they would not have waited until now; it is not because of Xu Jinhuan, or it is not just because of Xu Jinhuan.

Normally, in this small circle, or in all the circles she participated in, she was the focus of everyone's attention and topics.

Even if Chen Xingzhu appeared and took away her attention, she didn't care.

There are two reasons for this:

On the one hand, Chen Xingzhu was too dazzling, and Xiao Yuanxi was very clear about the gap between himself and the other party, so he had no intention of comparing himself with her.

There are many girls with good grades and beautiful looks in Suicheng No. 1 Middle School. There are also girls with better grades than Chen Xingzhu, but she is just too beautiful.

Good looks are the best cheat in life, especially when coupled with excellent grades and a good family background, it is even more powerful.

On the other hand, Chen Xingzhu has an indifferent personality. This aloof and self-righteous character makes her not very popular among girls. For Xiao Yuanxi, girls with Chen Xingzhu's personality are naturally not threatening and do not have the ability to form a small circle.

Therefore, she has never had any hostility towards Chen Xingzhu.

However, this time, when everyone was amazed and discussing the gossip about Chen Xingzhu and Xu Jinhuan, when Zhang Yu and Lu Jianhong were arguing, and when Tang Jingming was obviously out of control...

Xiao Yuanxi found that she could no longer ignore Chen Xingzhu. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. When she looked at Chen Xingzhu's back, hostility grew and accumulated in her heart uncontrollably.

"Is it because of Xu Jinhuan?"

She asked herself in her heart, vaguely feeling that this was related to Xu Jinhuan, because she confessed to him and was rejected by him, and he turned around to pursue Chen Xingzhu, which created a "connection" between her and Chen Xingzhu.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to help Tang Jingming..."

Xiao Yuanxi felt regretful again. When she agreed to help Tang Jingming tease Xu Jinhuan, she didn't take it to heart at all and didn't even ask why.

Because she didn't care about this matter at all, and she didn't expect that this matter would have such a big impact on her...

If she had the chance to do it again, she would definitely reject Tang Jingming decisively, clearly and firmly.

"Xingzhu!"

While Xiao Yuanxi was daydreaming, Tang Jingming had already come behind Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu, and greeted Chen Xingzhu with a smile.

Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu turned around together and saw that it was Tang Jingming. Chen Xingzhu nodded slightly as a response.

Tang Jingming felt more at ease after hearing her response. He smiled and nodded at Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin as a greeting. Then, ignoring Xu Jinhuan, he walked up to Chen Xingzhu and said, "Everyone said this math test was a bit difficult. How did you do?"

His words seemed casual, but they were actually well thought out. The first half of the sentence indicated that he had just communicated with other students, implicitly suggesting that he was very popular. The second half of the sentence paved the way for Chen Xingzhu's answer. Regardless of whether Chen Xingzhu's answer was good or bad, this sentence would work.

However, Chen Xingzhu replied: "It's OK."

After saying that, she turned around and continued walking towards the school gate.

Ever since Xu Jinhuan made an inexplicable confession that day and said that she was too aloof, she would consciously speak to Zhou Wei and the others, including other girls who were obviously kind to her, so as not to make them feel left out.

After the exam this morning, Zhou Wei and the others' teasing made her realize that she was still as cold and distant in front of Xu Jinhuan.

No matter why Xu Jinhuan was "downwardly compatible" with her, she still felt that it was goodwill. In addition, because she wanted Xu Jinhuan to help her reduce unnecessary disturbances, she decided to respond to Xu Jinhuan more positively.

This is already the limit of what she can do at the moment, so she has no intention of changing her attitude towards other irrelevant people, such as Tang Jingming.

After all, Xu Jinhuan's role is to reduce the frequency of such people appearing in front of him.

Tang Jingming did not find Chen Xingzhu's answer strange. Considering Chen Xingzhu's personality, such a response was already very good.

He has worked hard since junior high school until now to be qualified to have such a response!

"I feel the most difficult one is the last big question..."

Although his words hadn't worked, Tang Jingming was still actively looking for topics to talk about. Normally, he would have stopped while he was ahead, to avoid offending Chen Xingzhu. But today, with Xu Jinhuan right beside him, he wasn't willing to walk away. If even Xu Jinhuan could chat with Chen Xingzhu while walking, why couldn't he?

In fact, if it weren't for Xu Jinhuan, he wouldn't even have called her "Xingzhu" when he greeted her just now. He would have definitely used her surname because he knew that this would make Chen Xingzhu unhappy.

However, today, in front of Xu Jinhuan, Tang Jingming felt that even if it made Chen Xingzhu a little unhappy, he had to save his face.

"I've been thinking about it for nearly an hour, but I've only solved half of it and haven't figured out the final answer..."

Tang Jingming continued speaking, and suddenly found himself a little embarrassed, because Chen Xingzhu and Xu Jinhuan were walking side by side in front, and he was following behind.

This made him feel very bad, as if he was being too persistent.

In front of Xu Jinhuan, Tang Jingming still did not give up and continued to ask: "Have you calculated the final result?"

While speaking, he saw that there was some space between Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu, so he immediately moved over and tried to squeeze in between.

Chen Xingzhu frowned and looked at Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan pointed to the carport and said to her, "I'm going to ride my bike."

Tang Jingming was secretly happy. He actually also rode a bike, but today he was willing to take the bus back. Although it was not on the same route as Chen Xingzhu, it was not bad to wait for the bus together.

"People like Xu Jinhuan don't even have this much adaptability..."

He secretly despised it. Although the time they spent together was not much, it was very crucial. Just imagine, if he could accompany Chen Xingzhu to wait for the bus every day and extend the time, wouldn't this be a romantic companionship?
But Xu Jinhuan actually went to ride his bike obediently...

'It's hilarious, I don't know what it means!'

Tang Jingming sneered in his heart, "But I should thank him. If he hadn't been so stupid, how would I have had the opportunity to get along with Chen Xingzhu?"

While Tang Jingming was thinking, he found that Chen Xingzhu walked to the side of the road and stood still, which made him feel a little strange.

He did not rush to ask or urge, but looked around, wondering if Chen Xingzhu was waiting for someone.

"Xingzhu, let's go."

Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin saw Chen Xingzhu stopped by the roadside, so they urged her, "Why are you standing here?"

"You guys go first."

Chen Xingzhu's expression remained normal as she softly said to them, "I'll wait here."

Zhou Wei blinked doubtfully and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

"Sure enough, I guessed right!"

Tang Jingming was secretly pleased with himself, and smiled as he said, "It's okay. There are many people here, and I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'll stay here with you and wait."

Chen Xingzhu frowned slightly. She was shy at first. Although she had made a decision in her heart, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Seeing that Tang Jingming was still pestering her, she finally had the motivation to carry it out.

Having made up her mind, she quietly calmed her somewhat accelerated heartbeat, then tried to act as casual as usual, and whispered to Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin, "I'll wait for Xu Jinhuan."

"what?"

Zhou Wei and Hu Yingxin were even more puzzled. "He's riding a bike...why are you waiting for him?"

"I know."

Chen Xingzhu didn't dare to look at them. She turned her head to look at Xu Jinhuan's silhouette in the carport, trying her best to restrain her shyness and nervousness.

She didn't realize that her posture and tone of voice conveyed a completely different image to others:
The setting sun bathed the campus. A girl in a blue and white school uniform stood quietly by the roadside. Her profile was pure and beautiful. She looked gently at the boy who was walking towards her on a bicycle. Her expression was slightly shy, and she spoke softly:
"I'll wait for him to take me home on his bike..."
