Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 95 [095] Who pays?

"I'm eating now. I'll be there after dinner."

While eating, Xu Jinhuan sent a message to Chen Xingzhu, "I'll be at your house around 1:30."

Chen Xingzhu: "Okay."

Xu Jinhuan: "Have you eaten?"

Chen Xingzhu: "I've finished eating and am on my way home."

Xu Jinhuan: "Well, you can search for pet stores nearby first, and then we can go shopping."

Chen Xingzhu: "Okay."

Xu Jinhuan: "There is one more thing, just come with me."

Chen Xingzhu: "Your sister?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Yes, her nickname is Zhizhi."

Chen Xingzhu: "Oh."

Xu Jinhuan: "Is it okay?"

Chen Xingzhu: "Sure."

Xu Jinhuan: "Then I'll tell you when I get there."

Chen Xingzhu: "Okay."

Xu Jinhuan put down his phone and glanced at Song Zhiyu next to him who was still holding her phone and reading "What do tabby cats like to eat". He smiled, shook his head, and continued eating.

"Let's go."

After finishing his meal, Xu Jinhuan sent his parents downstairs and set off again with Song Zhiyu in his car. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and thought for a moment, "Hey, you never seem to ask me whose classmate's cat I am?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

Song Zhiyu was still beaming with joy, eager to pick up her kitten. She glanced at him and said, "It must be Chen Xingzhu again, otherwise you wouldn't be like this."

"Okay, you're pretty smart."

Xu Jinhuan didn't say much and continued to follow the navigation to Chen Xingzhu's residential area. He sent a message to Chen Xingzhu while registering at the door.

She quickly replied: "You come in, turn right, and keep going. I'm right by the road."

Xu Jinhuan followed his instructions, turned right, and drove halfway around when he saw Chen Xingzhu squatting on the side of the road. He was about to stop the car when Song Zhiyu also saw Chen Xingzhu and exclaimed in surprise, "There! There! I saw a cat... Stop first, I'll get off!"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan had no choice but to stop the car and let Song Zhiyu go first. Then he found a parking space and parked the car. When he got out of the car, he saw Song Zhiyu had run to Chen Xingzhu and was squatting on the side of the road with her.

The tabby cat looked small and had not grown up yet, about four or five months old. As a stray cat, it was poorly nourished and might actually be older. It was rubbing its head against Chen Xingzhu's palm, looking very clingy.

“It’s so cute!”

Song Zhiyu looked at it with envy and wanted to reach out and touch it, but the kitten was very alert. When she reached out her hand, it immediately hid behind Chen Xingzhu.

"Sister Xingzhu, can I touch it?"

Seeing this, Song Zhiyu begged Chen Xingzhu in a dragging voice, "Please tell it, I will definitely take good care of it..."

Chen Xingzhu looked at her, then nodded, patted the kitten's head, and said softly: "Mimi, be good, sister is not a bad person, she likes you very much..."

As she spoke, she whispered to Song Zhiyu, "Touch it."

Song Zhiyu reached out her hand. The kitten was still alert, but when Chen Xingzhu stroked it, it did not avoid it anymore.

Song Zhiyu gently touched its back fur, then immediately drew back, eyes wide with surprise as she said, "It's so soft... My former classmate had a golden tabby cat at home, and it felt soft too."

"Let's take it shopping first."

After finishing their work, they still had to go pick up Xie Wanqing. Xu Jinhuan was worried that the two of them would continue to pet the cat, so he urged them, "Xingzhu, hold it. It's never been in a car before, so don't get too nervous."

"it is good."

Chen Xingzhu didn't care about his address and stood up carefully holding the kitten.

"This way, this way."

Song Zhiyu followed closely, helping Chen Xingzhu open the car door like a lackey, and then sat in the back to play with the cat.

Xu Jinhuan was afraid the cat would get stressed, so he buckled the seatbelt while reminding her, "Zhizhi, don't irritate it. Go home and slowly get familiar with it."

"Oh, I know. Just drive your car."

Song Zhiyu's tone was full of disdain, but she then spoke to the kitten in an unusually gentle manner: "Be good, Mimi. Sister will take you to buy some delicious food... Sister Xingzhu, what's its name?"

Chen Xingzhu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just met it yesterday and didn't give it a name."

She actually wanted to name it after the cat she raised as a child, but then gave up the idea because she wanted it to have a different destiny of its own and no longer be abandoned.

"Then let's give it a name."

Song Zhiyu thought for a moment and asked, "How about calling it 'Good Boy'? It looks so well behaved and doesn't run around when it gets in the car." As soon as Xu Jinhuan started the car, the kitten was obviously a little stressed, but it didn't run around. Instead, it crawled between Chen Xingzhu's arms and body.

"It feels weird...oh dear..."

Chen Xingzhu was comforting the kitten, but before she could express her opinion, Song Zhiyu rejected her suggestion, "How about calling..."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, not knowing what to call her, so she asked Chen Xingzhu, "Sister Xingzhu, what do you think is a good name?"

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Little cutie?"

"Um... OK."

Song Zhiyu thought about it and felt that it was a good name. Besides, it was a name she had chosen. Chen Xingzhu did not reject it directly. She was very satisfied with it, so she nodded and said, "Then call it Xiaoguai... Xiaoguai~ Be good~"

Xu Jinhuan didn't get involved and asked, "There's a pet shop at the intersection leading to the school. Is that okay?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded. Song Zhiyu didn't care about this at all and continued to find ways to tease the kitten. Suddenly, he was stunned and looked up at Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu blinked in confusion.

Song Zhiyu asked: "Sister Xingzhu, did you know my brother drove here?"

Chen Xingzhu shook his head.

"Then why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Song Zhiyu asked curiously, "I wanted to see you surprised, but I forgot."

Chen Xingzhu said: "It's quite unexpected."

“I didn’t see that…”

Song Zhiyu pouted, didn't care, and continued to tease the cat.

"Xie Zhiqiang's sister's car. Uh, Xie Zhiqiang is the fat guy who often hangs out with me. Have you seen him?"

Xu Jinhuan took the initiative to explain, "His sister went out for a trip and will be back in the afternoon. She asked me to pick her up, so I borrowed the car."

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded without saying anything more. He continued to look down at the cat, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he pursed his lips lightly, returning to normal.

Because of her personality, she has long been accustomed to suppressing her emotions, but not showing many things does not mean that she doesn't care or is not curious.

Xu Jinhuan's proactive explanation made her feel very warm. The sense of security, dependence and happiness she had at the library at noon instantly enveloped her body and mind.

"..."

Song Zhiyu was right next to Chen Xingzhu, and she keenly noticed her subtle expression. She puffed up her cheeks slightly without saying anything.

They soon arrived at the pet shop. The owner was a young girl, quite pretty. Xu Jinhuan led the two girls in and asked someone to help with a simple check-up and deworming. Then they bought cat litter, cat food and other supplies, and completed the shopping quickly.

Chen Xingzhu came here once at noon and bought a small bag of cat food. Xiaoguai seemed to like it very much, so he continued to choose the same kind of cat food. Song Zhiyu had no objection to this.

The cat litter was recommended by the store owner, and both girls had no objections;

The cat litter box was chosen by Song Zhiyu, it was very large, and Chen Xingzhu didn't say anything;
The cat bowl for food and water was chosen by Chen Xingzhu. It even had two ears on it. Song Zhiyu said it was "very cute" and had no objection.

Song Zhiyu asked for a few more cans of food, and Chen Xingzhu asked for a bag of dried meat.

"Nothing else, right?"

Xu Jinhuan was originally worried that the two girls would disagree on buying things, and then he would have to make the final decision. Seeing that everything went smoothly and the two girls didn't even have any different opinions, he finally felt relieved.

"Then let's go..."

Xu Jinhuan didn't plan to pay. He was broke and could justifiably live off the boss, but he still took the initiative to ask the boss, "Boss, how much is the total?"

The pretty female boss smiled and said, "It's 183 in total, just give me 180."

"Ok."

This price was cheaper than Xu Jinhuan expected. He calculated it silently, nodded, and then turned to look at Chen Xingzhu.

When I turned around, I found that Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu had both taken out their wallets, one light blue and the other light pink, both looked quite thick.

Anyway, they are much thicker than his.

Song Zhiyu didn't have time to look closely, and quickly took out two red banknotes. She handed them to the boss and said to Chen Xingzhu, "Sister Xingzhu, let me pay."

"No, I'll do it."

Chen Xingzhu also moved quickly and handed two red banknotes to the boss. His voice was very soft, but his attitude was just as firm.

The young and beautiful female owner of the pet shop looked at the two beauties who made her feel ashamed, and seemed to have sensed some kind of atmosphere that had been surging in secret for a long time. She did not take the money from anyone, but turned to look at Xu Jinhuan.

The two girls who were originally staring at the boss turned around and looked at Xu Jinhuan.
