Don't think of rebirth.

Gu Qinghuan sat in Xia He's car and called her mother to tell her that she would be home late. Song Yi also reported the same.

"Senior Xia, don't you need to tell your family?" Gu Qinghuan asked casually.

"No need. I don't have any parents. My only direct descendant is my grandfather, and he doesn't take care of me." Xia He smiled as always.

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the car seemed to drop by ten degrees.

Gu Qinghuan hesitated for a few seconds, then softened her tone: "Are your parents dead?"

"Well, my parents died when I was very young, and I don't remember much now." Xia He said in a light tone.

His remaining memories of his parents were like rotting rice paper, which would turn into dust with the slightest shake.

But he would not allow anyone to say anything bad about his parents. He was able to return to the Xia family alive thanks to the arrangements made by his parents before their death.

Gu Qinghuan looked at Xia He for a while, then blinked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Gu Qinghuan said, "I was just wondering if Senior Xia is more like my mother or my father."

Like mother—this answer immediately appeared in Xia He’s mind.

Grandpa said that he looked like his father, but his eldest uncle and second uncle said that he only looked like his mother, and his personality was completely like his mother.

Xia He's father, Xia Zhihan, is the third child in the Xia family and the youngest son. He is gifted and handsome, and is highly regarded by the old man of the Xia family.

But he didn't like the path arranged by his family. He preferred art and made his old man very angry when he was young.

Until he met Xia He's mother, Xu Qiu.

From their names to their backgrounds, from their looks to their talents, these two people don't seem to be in the same space.

However, the two met and fell in love, just like in an idol drama.

After Xu Qiu graduated from junior high school, she was locked up by her family in exchange for a dowry. She took advantage of her family's unpreparedness, took the money and ran to a big city to seek a job. By chance, she met Xia Zhihan.

Xia Zhihan loved her very much, loved her vigorous vitality, loved her publicity and ambition.

She is like the dogtooth grass in the wasteland, extremely resistant to heat, drought and trampling. She roots deeply into the soil, desperately absorbing nutrients and spreading into a vast green.

Xu Qiu also loves Xia Zhihan very much, loves his pure and clear heart, loves his kindness and beauty.

She knew that she was far inferior to Xia Zhihan, and she also knew that Xia Zhihan had no interest in the Xia family's property, but she did not intend to let others take away the share that originally belonged to Xia Zhihan.

So she went on her own and followed the path that the old man had originally planned for Xia Zhihan.

She studied very hard, and Xia Zhihan supported her. He thought Xu Qiu was stunningly beautiful for her perseverance.

When the two incompetent brothers came to their senses, they found that Xu Qiu, who was regarded as an "outsider" and "inferior person" in their eyes, had actually gained a firm foothold in the Xia family. There were even many partners who chose the Xia family because of Xu Qiu.

They fail to see Xu Qiu's excellence, but are afraid that their cake will be snatched away from them, so they have evil thoughts.

Xia He was still young at the time and only knew that he had gone abroad with his parents, but when he woke up one morning, he could no longer see his parents.

He was taken care of by an unknown man, who gave him growth-inhibiting drugs and told him to call him father from now on. He hid from place to place for more than four years before returning home as the man's son and reappearing in front of the old man.

By that time, he had already accepted the fact that his parents had died.

The old man didn't let him investigate the truth of that year, but Xia He knew that the death of his parents was closely related to those two uncles.

The more outstanding and crazy he behaved, the more frightened his uncles would be, fearing that one day Xia He would use those same tricks on them.

We have only just started. How can we justify what he has lost if we don't keep them worried for a few more years?

Xia He had long forgotten what her parents looked like. When she recalled them, she could only remember their blurry facial features. She couldn't even remember their voices.

However, after hearing Gu Qinghuan's words, he suddenly realized that he was the proof that his parents had ever existed.

All he had to do was look into the mirror and he would see his parents.

Xia He smiled and said, "It is said that he looks like his father, but has the personality of his mother."

After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan looked at Xia He for a while and commented, "That's really a strong combination, very well matched."

Xia He thought that if the people in the Xia family heard what Gu Qinghuan said, they would definitely think she was talking nonsense.

But he liked it, he liked it very much, he liked it so much that he wanted to express his happy mood in some way.

The car drove into the underground parking lot of the home furnishing mall. After the car stopped, Song Yi got out first, then turned around and extended his hand towards Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She held Song Yi's hand and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've been helped out of a car."

Song Yi said: "The chassis of this car is a bit high, so be careful when getting off."

Gu Qinghuan got off the car, stood still, and took back his hand: "Thank you."

"It's okay." Song Yi waved his hand and went to help Xia He again - Xia He slapped his hand away and jumped down by herself.

Damn it, the effect of that drug lasted too long. This was the first time he wanted to grow taller so badly.

Xia He gritted her teeth secretly.

The three of them entered the home furnishing mall. Gu Qinghuan didn't go straight to the desk area. She wanted to shop around for a while.

I have to say, this trio is quite eye-catching.

Mingde's school uniform itself was eye-catching enough, and this was not an entertainment venue. When other guests saw it, they couldn't help but wonder what these three students were here for.

"Is a shoe cabinet necessary? Wouldn't it be weird to change shoes when entering the office?"

"Although I have built a cabinet, this storage trolley seems to be quite useful..."

"Uh, a clothes hanger? For hanging coats and scarves in the fall and winter?"

I see. They are students helping the school purchase office supplies.

The other customers lost interest and continued to focus on their shopping.

Gu Qinghuan half-knelt in front of the cart with a conflicted expression.

She thought a cart was very convenient for moving things around, and it would be very useful to have one, but her office was empty now, so she wouldn't be able to use it at all, right?

"Sister," Xia He bent down to look at her, with her hands behind her back, "If you want, just buy it."

After he said that, Gu Qinghuan became more determined: "Forget it, let's go pick out tables and chairs first! The other things are not that necessary."

She stood up and walked quickly to the table and chair area, with Xia He and Song Yi following her.

"Do you think my sister would be happy if I bought everything she was interested in and gave it to her?" Xia He said.

It took Song Yi a few seconds to realize that Xia He was talking to him. He touched the back of his head and said honestly, "I don't think Sister Gu will want it."

Xia He sighed exaggeratedly: "That's true."

But it doesn’t matter. If he can’t send “Xia He”, he still has other ways.

Xia He: [Xiao Bai~]

Bai Hanshan: [What are you planning? ]

Xia He: [No, I just think that the student union office is too monotonous and could use some life to it~]

Bai Hanshan: […I know you and Gu Qinghuan went to buy furniture.]

Xia He: [Give me a plan tomorrow morning.]

Bai Hanshan wanted to block him - why had he been so stupid as to become Xia He's subordinate in the first place!
