Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

"Cold?"

Jiang Ning felt the surrounding temperature. With a body tempered by Thunder Decision, he wouldn't feel the cold even at the poles.

"Not cold." Jiang Ning replied.

If it weren't for avoiding strange looks, he could wear just a long-sleeve shirt in sub-zero winter weather.

In contrast, Geng Lu was bundled up tightly. She wore a white hoodie with a lambskin coat, and light pink corduroy pants, fluffy on the surface, making you want to rub them.

"We look like two different seasons walking together." Geng Lu laughed lightly.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, "It's good that you're wearing more clothes, keeps warm and protects from the cold."

Geng Lu lowered her head. She usually chose loose-fitting clothes to conceal her figure and avoid being ridiculed by other girls.

Jiang Ning subtly followed her gaze downwards. Geng Lu's outfit was cute today, but the downside of fluffy material clothes was that they easily collect dust.

He channeled his Spiritual Power, flicked his fingers, and silently swept over her clothes, sketching an enticing curve along the way, removing stubborn dust.

Geng Lu blew warmth into her hands, looked at the crowd ahead, noticing girls wore more clothes while boys wore less, she asked:

"Are girls generally more afraid of cold?"

Jiang Ning walked slowly, finding her question amusing since Geng Lu, being a girl, had more authority to speak on this.

He didn't refute like he used to; he wasn't the naive boy he once was. Her making these idle conversations indicated she wanted to chat with him.

"Not really, look at her." Jiang Ning said.

Nearby, Tan Meiling from Class 9 sashayed past, her hips gently swaying as she walked.

Geng Lu saw Tan Meiling's exposed midriff and fell silent for a moment.

She could never accept such attire.

Along with Jiang Ning and Geng Lu, not rushing to the cafeteria, was the tall and handsome Wu Yunzhi with Lan Zichen and her friends.

Despite the bad experience from Jiu Yan barbecue last time almost made Lan Zichen give up on Wu Yunzhi, they were assigned to the same small dining table, and Wu Yunzhi's deliberate closeness meant they still headed there together after class.

Wu Yunzhi also saw Jiang Ning and his girl companion.

'Again, that guy has something special!' Wu Yunzhi thought, but luckily this time he only had one girl with him.

He inspected the girl closely and gradually recalled that on the sports field, her figure was extremely good, vastly different from Lan Zichen's flat stature.

Wu Yunzhi slightly quickened his pace to appear in Jiang Ning's line of sight, aiming to make his presence known.

He raised his voice, "Zichen, after the rain yesterday, the temperature dropped quite a bit."

Lan Zichen: "Winter is coming, I bought several clothes on Singles' Day."

"Yeah, it's a bit cold." Wu Yunzhi said.

"So today I specially..." Lan Zichen wore a deep chestnut beret, her jet-black hair complementing it, making her look fashionable.

Wu Yunzhi wore a classic white Adidas hoodie; with his height and good looks, it suited him handsomely.

"Hat, I have one too." Wu Yunzhi grinned slyly.

His moment was coming.

As a little show-off expert, Wu Yunzhi had practiced the hat-donning move. With just a shoulder shake, the hoodie's hat would smoothly drop onto his head due to inertia.

Then the hat would cover half his face, but never his handsome looks; with hands in pockets, his graceful stance would certainly amaze the girls.

As an authentic handsome guy, Wu Yunzhi excelled at flaunting his charm to attract girls, unlike ordinary boys who only pander.

Wu Yunzhi envisions his cool move.

He slowed his pace, walking to Jiang Ning's diagonal, hands in pockets, incredibly suave.

Then, he naturally shook his shoulder, this move he had polished countless times, every detail meticulously honed.

However, this time, the hat didn't slide onto his head as expected.

Wu Yunzhi paused, 'What's going on?'

He was bewildered but soon regained composure, shook his shoulder again, yet the hat didn't budge.

After several attempts, Wu Yunzhi began questioning reality.

Lan Zichen found his actions odd, wondering why he was randomly shaking his shoulder while walking?

Even stranger than some basketball-loving guys suddenly pretending to shoot hoops while walking.

Wu Yunzhi's movement was aimless, just there shaking, looking like he had epilepsy.

Lan Zichen concernedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Wu Yunzhi puzzled, 'Why doesn't it work? Why can't I flick the hat up?'

Approaching the cafeteria, Jiang Ning and Geng Lu continued forward, ahead was a patch of a neat little garden, dozens of squared flower beds quietly standing.

In early winter, many flowers had withered, leaving bare, slightly moist soil.

Wu Yunzhi's strange behavior also caught Geng Lu's attention; she glanced at Jiang Ning, suspicious of the other's mental state.

And in Jiang Ning's view, a stream of Spiritual Power held Wu Yunzhi's hat firmly against his back, unable to move.

Jiang Ning snickered, 'I don't allow others to show off before me.'

Wu Yunzhi turned to see the odd looks from Lan Zichen and others, feeling deeply embarrassed and frustrated.
