Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 79 [079] This is what he deserves

Seeing Xu Jinhuan looking up, Song Zhiyu looked at him, then looked away without any panic and continued to look at his screen.

"click"

Xu Jinhuan turned off the screen of his phone.

Song Zhiyu had nothing more to look at, so she finally looked at Xu Jinhuan again, straightened up, and said with disdain, "How insidious! Using Da Huang to hook up with girls..."

"You don't think Da Huang is the protagonist, do you?"

Xu Jinhuan stood up, his vision a little dark. He closed his eyes to relax and continued, "What's important is not what I sent, but that I sent it. Do you understand?"

Song Zhiyu snorted and turned away.

Xu Jinhuan stood in the yard and continued to send messages to Chen Xingzhu: "Are you in the library?"

On the third floor of the Municipal Library, Chen Xingzhu noticed his cell phone screen light up, glanced at the message on the lock screen, then turned off the screen and continued reading.

I had just read two lines when the screen lit up again.

Xu Jinhuan: "Do you want me to take two more pictures of you?"

Chen Xingzhu typed a reply: "OK."

Xu Jinhuan: "Isn't your discrimination a bit too obvious?"

Chen Xingzhu glanced at the screen and didn't reply.

After a while, the phone lit up again: "I took several photos, but I won't show them to you."

'How childish...'

She complained quietly in her heart, withdrew her gaze, and continued reading. After a while, she subconsciously glanced at her phone again.

The screen does not light up.

After a while, she glanced at her phone again and saw that there was still no new message. She hesitated, picked up the phone and turned on the screen.

The latest message on the screen is still the previous one, and no new messages have been sent.

Finally, after looking at his phone out of habit again and not seeing any new messages, Chen Xingzhu frowned.

She noticed something was not right.

Why do I keep looking at my phone?
This was something that almost never happened to her. Although she didn't reply, she seemed to be expecting him to continue sending her messages and wanted to know what he would send.

The two of them had known each other for less than a month, had only been chatting on QQ for a few days, and he had only just signed up for WeChat yesterday...

"Why is this happening?"

Chen Xingzhu pondered in his heart, and then another thought replaced it: "Is he angry?"

Thinking of this, she opened the chat box and looked at the several unanswered messages sent by Xu Jinhuan. She typed a reply lightly, and then deleted it before sending it.

'Cannot reply.'

She looked at the conversation record in the chat box and quietly told herself, "Get used to being alone."

Only by getting used to a person, getting used to not becoming dependent on them, and not having expectations of them, can you avoid being disappointed and hurt...

Biting her lip lightly, she put down her phone and forced herself to concentrate on reading.

She was reading Shi Tiesheng's "I and the Earthen Altar". It was as if some existence in the dark was revealing something to her. When she lowered her eyelashes, she saw the words on the book:
"Don't forget that the true name of man is: desire. So you have to know that the most effective way to eliminate panic is to eliminate desire. But I also know that the most effective way to eliminate human nature is also to eliminate desire..."

She read this passage carefully several times and thought silently in her heart: 'That's right, without expectations there will be no disappointment, without disappointment there will be no sadness...'

If this is the case with my own mother, what about others?

What Xu Jinhuan liked was the beautiful and dazzling Chen Xingzhu who would take the initiative to climb onto the back of his bicycle and let him take her home, becoming the focus of discussion in the whole school, not the Chen Xingzhu who had a weird temper, selfish ideas, and didn't like to reply to messages.

This is Chen Xingzhu's fault, so she deserves to be alone and is destined to be alone.

She bit her lip lightly and continued reading, but those philosophical words that came into her eyes were still difficult to enter her mind.

That space is occupied by another paragraph.

That's what he said when they first "met": "You're too beautiful. If you act aloof, no one will dare to approach you. Don't fall into this vicious cycle again."

These few words changed her life to a great extent. She realized that subtle changes could help her win friends, and her classmates also became noticeably friendlier.

'Does he also find me difficult to get along with?'

Chen Xingzhu thought secretly, 'Besides, he said the other day that he would study hard, earn pocket money, and work hard to become better. He made such great progress in the midterm exam and got such good grades. He even taught himself programming and made a game...' But I haven't expressed anything. Will he be disappointed?

She is not just a nerd who only knows how to study. She knows the importance of positive feedback mechanism and understands that people always want to be rewarded after making efforts.

Xu Jinhuan's efforts, hard work, and self-taught programming are not rewarded by grades or the game itself, but by himself.

'What can I give him?'

Chen Xingzhu didn't know why she had diverted her attention to this, but she found that she was not opposed to this idea, so she thought about it seriously and quickly remembered what he had said.

His birthday is coming soon!

She had no experience in this area and didn't know how to choose a gift, but fortunately she still had time to think or ask others.

"Then... before that, can you give him some other insignificant reward?"

This is something that is easy to think of and easy to do. It does not mean that I have higher expectations for him. It is just a small reward for his efforts and is not worth mentioning.

This is what he earned through hard work, and he deserves it!
She quickly worked out the logical reasoning like she was doing a problem, and then, no longer burdened, she picked up her phone and typed a reply with a relaxed and happy mood:
"Oh."

After sending the message, she held her phone and waited for Xu Jinhuan's reply.

For a long time, Xu Jinhuan did not reply.

"Maybe my response was too cold, and he didn't know what to say..."

Chen Xingzhu easily figured out the reason, so she continued to reply: "You are so naive."

This way he only needs to refute without having to think about how to respond.

…………

"Can you please hurry up?"

Outside the courtyard, Song Zhiyu held a huge, warm goose egg in each hand as she stood far away from the goose pen. Listening to a group of large white geese flapping their wings and calling non-stop, she frowned and said in disdain, "They're so noisy!"

"It won't leave!"

Xu Jinhuan pretended not to look at the other two large goose eggs in the grass nest in the shed. He was wary of the large white goose in front of him and responded to Song Zhiyu unhappily, "Come in and get them if you can."

"Are you a man?"

Song Zhiyu retorted, then urged, "Grandma said it doesn't bite, just go get it..."

"Then you come and get it?"

Xu Jinhuan became increasingly annoyed. "When I was little, your grandmother also said geese wouldn't bite. What happened? They almost bit me into a eunuch!"

"..."

Song Zhiyu felt a little shy when she thought of this incident when she was a child, but she wanted to laugh even more. She pursed her lips and turned her head away, pretending not to hear, and said, "Then I'll leave!"

"Can you have some loyalty? I... damn it!"

Xu Jinhuan was so focused on guarding against the big white goose in front of him that a goose suddenly pecked him on the butt. Fortunately, the flesh on his butt was thick and there were two layers of clothes between them, so the goose only pecked him once and did not bite his butt flesh, so it did not hurt much.

But he was still scared to death. He shuddered and almost jumped up, hitting his head on the crossbar of the shed, and the whole shed shook.

"Hahahahaha!"

When Song Zhiyu saw this scene, she burst out laughing, "You are so useless! You are such a grown-up, and you are still afraid of geese... Hahahaha!"

"Laugh at your sister!"

Xu Jinhuan was a little annoyed and angry, "The goose is more aggressive than the dog, okay...eh?"

The big white goose that was originally blocking the goose eggs was frightened by the mighty momentum of the straw shed above his head, and moved aside with flapping wings. Xu Jinhuan quickly took advantage of the opportunity, grabbed the two goose eggs and ran away.

The other white geese in the pen were frightened by the strange visitor and started to make even louder noises, which made Xu Jinhuan's ears hurt. Fortunately, he got the goose eggs and quickly opened the pen door and escaped.

"whispering sound!"

Song Zhiyu was still laughing. Seeing him successfully take out the egg, she curled her rosy lips and made a disdainful "tsk" sound. "If Chen Xingzhu saw what you looked like just now, she would definitely not want to talk to you anymore..."

"good idea!"

Xu Jinhuan was stunned for a moment, then raised the goose egg in his hand and gave her a thumbs-up. "She probably hasn't seen a big white goose before. I'll take another photo and tell her that if she likes, I can hatch goslings from the eggs. I guarantee I can trick her into coming home..."

Song Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then said disdainfully: "Shameless! Just trying to trick little girls..."
