Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

This would certainly show her generosity, and she could get Jiang Ning to toss the trash for her.

After Jiang Ning finished his tofu, he saw him swinging his bamboo skewer to and fro, shaking it so much that Xue Yuantong almost got dizzy, as if it was endowed with magic.

"What are you doing?" Xue Yuantong asked.

Jiang Ning casually flung the skewer, and it landed in the trash can.

"I'm practicing my magician's sleight of hand," Jiang Ning said.

While strolling around, he had his Divine Sense completely open, so the young man who had blocked his way to the barber's earlier couldn't deceive him, because everything that happened in the guy's shop was reflected in his perception.

Naturally, the actions of Cui Yu and the others were also under Jiang Ning's observation.

Jiang Ning didn't care whether they were right or wrong, he also found that rice cake seller slightly irritating, so he had just cast a Magic Formation and sealed the guy's throat, rendering him unable to make a sound.

In this way, the difficulty for the guy to find Ma Shicheng and the others increased countless folds, and he couldn't even clearly describe what happened at the scene.

As for whether the guy could communicate information with a pen?

No worries, Jiang Ning also used a Spell and sealed his eyesight.

The combination of the two meant that without a month, the seal wouldn't be lifted.

As for a month later, the matter would be old news.

Jiang Ning no longer concerned himself with this affair, for him, it was just a trivial matter done on a whim.

He continued to hang out with Xue Yuantong on the pedestrian street.

Xue Yuantong stopped in front of a Ten Yuan store, looking at the dazzling array of goods inside, she decisively led Jiang Ning into the store.

In the past, Xue Yuantong would browse two-yuan stores, but today she splurged, upgrading her level of consumer spending.

Xue Yuantong bought Jiang Ning a belt.

Holding the belt, Jiang Ning felt it was reasonably comfortable, he said,

"You're truly capable."

Xue Yuantong thought she was incredibly outstanding; she hadn't even bought anything for herself but had already picked something for Jiang Ning.

It must have taken him eight lifetimes' worth of good fortune to meet her!

Xue Yuantong earnestly said, "You have to treat me better in the future."

"Got it?"

...

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday.

That afternoon, as the second period came to an end, the school bell rang, and Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan rushed out of the classroom together.

However, both of them were slightly uncoordinated in their leg movements.

Last Friday's spring outing involved a round trip of more than twenty kilometers, leaving most of the girls in the class with sore legs.

So sore that it was almost impossible to get out of bed.

Now, two days later, they had barely managed to recover.

The third period that afternoon was a study hall.

Chen Siyu planned to continue writing her spring outing essay next period, after starting it yesterday during evening self-study and only completing half of it, this period would be a good opportunity to finish.

At the back table, Xue Yuantong was tossing dice with Jiang Ning, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan walked hand in hand along the main path of the campus.

Jiang Yanan asked, "Aren't you going to give a chance to that guy who was chasing you?"

She knew the guy, he was actually quite handsome; if he were in their class, he would definitely rank in the top five in terms of looks.

However, images of their class president's handsome face cropped up in Yu Wen's mind, she said,

"How could a woman who's been protected by a lion ever fall in love with a stray dog?"

The guy pursuing her indeed had good qualities, but compared to the class president, he stood no chance.

After hearing this, Jiang Yanan admitted to herself that the class president was indeed very handsome, but too many girls were after him, and she didn't stand a chance. Moreover, her personality wasn't the kind to chase after guys.

Jiang Yanan thought of Yu Wen's suitor and couldn't help but sigh; her own physical appearance was undoubtedly slightly better than Yu Wen's.

Whether it was height or skin, but the guys who chased after her, well, used to be Meng Gui, and now it was Cui Yu...

Oh my, what a mess!

Yu Wen said, "Get me two cups of milk tea later, and give one to Qing E."

She had intended to buy milk tea when she left school, to give to Huang Zhongfei.

On Huang Zhongfei's birthday, she ended up with his cream-covered finger poked into her nostril, completely losing her composure.

At that moment, she felt like the sky was collapsing and had the urge to die, thinking it was the darkest moment of her life.

But as time passed, that feeling of embarrassment gradually faded.

The saying that time heals all wounds is quite true.

Past mistakes could be made right, and to repair her image, Yu Wen was willing to take the initiative to correct her wrongs.

For this reason, she planned to buy Huang Zhongfei milk tea today.

The two girls arrived at the school entrance, where the gates were closed, preventing their exit.

But no matter, they had spoken to the tea shop owner in advance, and within a minute, a young person emerged from the milk tea shop and handed over four cups of milk tea through the retractable gate gap.

After receiving the milk teas, they headed back to their classroom, with a few minutes left before class would start.

In the back row, Ma Shicheng was engrossed in a game.

Wang Longlong watched him play.

Dan Kaiquan was spinning a book in front of the two, his book-spinning skills now quite profound.

"Brother Ma, I'll pour you some water," Wang Longlong said, picking up both of their water cups.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shicheng paused his game, stretched his neck, and glanced toward the front of the classroom where two water dispensers were conveniently unoccupied.

"Let's go together," Ma Shicheng said, taking his water cup.

He and Wang Longlong walked forward, passing by Cui Yu and Meng Gui.

Cui Yu remarked, "Should be fine now."

Meng Gui nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

That Saturday, they had kicked a snack stall, and they had been anxious about it for a long time, with no one showing up to confront them until today, which finally put their minds at ease.

Cui Yu continued, "I told you, do enough bad things, and retribution is bound to come."

He had seen with his own eyes how the stall owner was unable to utter a word. If that wasn't retribution, what was it?

Ma Shicheng moved on, passing by Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng was busily writing his essay.

"Yo, isn't this our table tennis champion? What's up? Writing an essay?" Ma Shicheng said mockingly upon seeing Yang Sheng, reminding himself of some unpleasant memories.

His Brother Ma had been invincible all his life, except for here, where he stumbled.

Yang Sheng kept his head down, writing his essay, paying Ma Shicheng no mind.

"That's no fun, writing so laboriously. Learn from me, just find one online and copy it directly," Ma Shicheng shared his "wisdom."

Finally, Yang Sheng looked up, a smile appearing on his face,

"That's exactly why you rank last in exams."

Ma Shicheng's face fell, but then he looked down on Yang Sheng, sneering inwardly. He had heard this kind of comment before.

He had heard it far too many times!

People insulted him, belittled him, fooled him, what should he do?

Just endure it, tolerate it, bear it, until the second year of high school, when he would slap them hard!

'That's right, the second year is almost here,' Ma Shicheng suddenly remembered. It was almost April, and by July, the first year would be over.

'Ah, might as well enjoy these next few months, as the last hurrah.'

Ma Shicheng thought this way.

Yu Wen handed Shen Qing'e a cup of milk tea, then placed the last cup on Huang Zhongfei's desk.

"Class president, thank you for always looking out for us. I represent everyone in expressing our gratitude," Yu Wen said with her most beautiful and sweetest smile.

Hearing this, Ma Shicheng glanced in their direction, thinking Yu Wen's smile was uncharacteristically unlike her.

Huang Zhongfei took the milk tea and murmured his thanks.

Yu Wen added, "This is red bean milk tea, and I got you an extra serving of coconut jelly."

As she said this, she also conveniently prepared the straw for Huang Zhongfei.

Only then did Yu Wen start to sip her pearl milk tea.

She drank while expectantly looking at Huang Zhongfei, trying to strike up awkward conversation.

Ma Shicheng snickered inwardly, how absurd.

Jiang Yanan was scrolling through QQ Space when she suddenly came across a selfie of a guy. She held up her phone to Shen Qing'e next to her and said,

"Qing E, Qing E, look at this guy. I remember he seems to want to pursue you, right?"

After listening, Shen Qing'e glanced at the photo and immediately remembered who the guy was.

She laughed and said, "During military training, he swore to me that he would definitely pursue me."

"But now it's the second semester of the first year of high school, he has probably forgotten."

Yu Wen was easily amused and couldn't help but laugh after hearing Shen Qing'e's remark. With milk tea in her mouth, she choked as her breath failed to come through, and a tapioca pearl was suddenly expelled from her nose.

Ma Shicheng exclaimed, "Damn, a Pea Shooter!"
