Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

People around cast their gaze over, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Pei Yujing's stainless steel bowl flew out, and due to strong inertia, it rolled quickly along the ground.

Pei Yujing stood still, being the focus of so many people at once made her nervous and extremely uncomfortable, but her expression remained calm.

'Forget it, let it fly, I don't want the bowl anymore, and I don't want to eat either.'

Thinking this, Pei Yujing wanted to drop everything and leave the cafeteria.

Giving up when encountering difficulties was Pei Yujing's way of handling things.

Ge Hao focused on Pei Yujing, and upon witnessing this, he joined the crowd in watching the commotion as Pei Yujing's stainless steel bowl rolled on the ground.

Suddenly, he heard Deng Xiang beside him mutter: "The opportunity...has come!"

"Brother Xiang, you?" Ge Hao turned his head, only to see Deng Xiang's unprecedented serious expression.

'If when waking up, you have two choices, one is to cover yourself and continue your unfinished dreams, and another is to uncover and pursue your unrealized dreams, which would you choose?'

Deng Xiang slowly took off his jacket, as if releasing a limiter.

Ge Hao was surprised to find that Brother Xiang's aura completely changed, with that overwhelming spirit, just like the years of glory at Iron Middle School when Deng Xiang rose step by step!

Deng Xiang stomped down hard, his figure tensed, and rushed obstinately towards the north.

Step, step, step! Run, run, run!

The crowded wave of people, Deng Xiang like a leopard, became a phantom weaving through bustling society.

The stainless steel bowl rolled from south to north; Deng Xiang also ran from south to north, forming two parallel lines that would never intersect.

Deng Xiang turned, jumped, slipped past students, and when he saw the bowl rolling parallel to him, a sense of destiny emerged.

Just like in movies, a stormy night with a black Maybach carrying a girl to the airport, and half an hour later flying to foreign lands.

While the boy braved the rain, rushing from the Old City, he must reach the airport before the plane takes off, then tell his beloved the three words 'I love you'.

He couldn't miss it, for missing it would be a lifetime!

At this moment, Deng Xiang's mental energy reached its peak, his speed even faster, like a phantom wind!

The bowl was right in front, within reach!

Deng Xiang pressed down on the dining table with one hand, a handsome leap, stepping into the rolling bowl's path.

At this moment, the two parallel lines intersected, and destiny finally crossed paths.

An invisible spotlight enveloped Deng Xiang, the cafeteria students fixed their gaze upon him, at this moment, he was the brightest existence!

'I have come to attend the meeting!'

Deng Xiang finally reached the other side, stretching out his hand, bending over, ready to catch the bowl.

Will a miracle happen?

Jiang Ning had just filled two bowls of pumpkin soup, coming face to face with the rolling stainless steel bowl, making a clear and sharp noise.

Numerous students watched the rolling bowl.

Just as the bowl rolled to Jiang Ning's feet, he smiled slightly, gently extended his foot, and accurately hooked the bowl's edge with the tip of his shoe.

Then, dexterously flicked it upwards, the rolling stainless steel bowl flew steadily, landing on his shoulder.

The whole process took just two seconds, the movement was exceptionally graceful.

Jiang Ning continued walking forward, calm and collected.

The students around were stunned, many girls showed amazement on their faces, handsome, such quick reaction!

Not only with handsome movements, but Jiang Ning also with a serene grace.

Deng Xiang's outstretched hand grasped emptiness, turning baffled, only to see Jiang Ning's distant back.

'Did I...fail?' Deng Xiang couldn't believe it.

Jiang Ning carried the bowl back and met Pei Yujing: "Here, wash it and it can still be used."

Pei Yujing hesitated, took back the bowl from his shoulder.

...

Deng Xiang clutched his chest, staggered, it hurt too much.

He had so many expectations, only to be completely nullified before the final victory.

When he slowly returned to the small dining table, Ge Hao was surprised: "Brother, impressive, so many people watching, you actually chased a bowl through most of the cafeteria..."

With a grim expression, Deng Xiang interrupted: "Let's not mention this again."

...

Class 8

The first evening self-study session.

English teacher Chen Haiyang walked into the classroom, previously a bald teacher, now full of black hair.

As Shao Shuangshuang's former English teacher, Chen Haiyang was very responsible in his teaching. He once appointed Shao Shuangshuang as the English class representative. Now that Shao Shuangshuang is the boss of Evergreen Liquid, after a word from her, Chen Haiyang can receive a free bottle of Evergreen Liquid every month.

With more hair, Chen Haiyang looks much younger and is not as strict as before, occasionally even cracking a joke for everyone.

"Class, open your compulsory textbook number five."

Hearing his words, the students in the class were stunned: "It's the first evening self-study session of the new semester, and we're having a textbook lesson?"

Generally speaking, other than Gao Heshuai, few teachers teach new lessons during evening self-study.

Since Chen Haiyang said so, the other students still obediently opened their textbooks.

"Everyone turn to the first page and take a close look at the names of the people who compiled the textbook." Chen Haiyang's voice was loud, spreading throughout the class.

The students were somewhat puzzled, but they complied, and soon, a student discovered Chen Haiyang's name among the list of teachers who participated in the compilation.

Suddenly, the class was in an uproar.

Everyone knew Chen Haiyang was strong, so strong that Yu Zhou Second Middle School personally recruited him, but this was somewhat expected, as a teacher from Fourth Middle School had previously been recruited by a prestigious school in the Capital.

But getting onto the textbook compilation list is truly for top-notch teachers!

Led by Cui Yu, the students immediately started boasting.

Various flattering words echoed in the classroom.

At this moment, Chen Haiyang pressed his hand down, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

Chen Haiyang said, "Didn't expect it, right? I have the same name as him."

Students: "..."

'Teacher, you really can joke.'

After Chen Haiyang's antics, the class atmosphere livened up. Chen Haiyang didn't teach a lesson, he handed out a test paper, let everyone study independently, and played on his phone at the podium.

During this time, Chen Haiyang even borrowed a data cable from a student to charge his phone. Jiang Yanan, who was nearby, contributed the data cable.

The first class was over.

Xue Yuantong was called to the office by the teacher, seemingly to fill out some form.

In her absence, Chen Siyu became Jiang Ning's temporary deskmate, giving Jiang Ning a few sugar oranges, peeling them as she ate.

"Jiang Ning, do you know Pei Yujing?" Chen Siyu didn't understand; she was considered an observer.

Counting carefully, how many times has Jiang Ning helped Pei Yujing?

The first time was a fall during a sports competition, the second time slipping in the cafeteria, and the third time someone knocked over her rice bowl...

Chen Siyu couldn't figure it out, why is this Pei Yujing so fragile?

In his past life, Jiang Ning indeed knew her, but in this life, he hadn't spoken much with her. He said, "No, I don't know her."

Chen Siyu teased, "You've helped her several times, hero saving a damsel, eh!"

Jiang Ning: "Spare me."

Chen Siyu wouldn't let it go: "Hehe, if I were her, I'd surely remember you."

Seeing her gossiping stance, Divine Sense piqued, and he said, "Indeed, next time I should go to her place for barbecue, and she'd better give me some drinks."

In front, Chai Wei, after hearing this, burst into laughter.

He wasn't very happy with Jiang Ning; Jiang Ning had a good relationship with Bai Yuxia, and was on good terms with the twins, had good luck at the small dining table, dining with so many girls, living his fantasy.

Chai Wei was now entangled with the Four Golden Flowers, partly due to Jiang Ning.

At this moment, he seized the flaw in Jiang Ning's words and immediately struck:

"Ah right, right, right, why don't you go have a barbecue tonight, go try it."

"If she really gives you a drink, I'll cover the cost of your barbecue."

Chai Wei's tone was full of disdain, as if Jiang Ning was something extraordinary?

Wasn't it just picking up a broken bowl?

Just after he finished speaking, Pei Yujing appeared at the classroom door, her face still cold. Under the gaze of many classmates, she mustered the courage to shout:

"Is Jiang Ning here?"

Then she handed the drink in her hand to Jiang Ning, sincerely thanking him.

After Pei Yujing left, Jiang Ning asked Chai Wei, "Why aren't you saying anything now?"
