Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Jiang Ning is playing, Xue Yuantong is watching nearby.

During the game, Jiang Ning is having fun, she pouts her lips, showing her displeasure to the world, but Jiang Ning doesn't see it.

Xue Yuantong is a bit unhappy, above her rosy lips are eyes full of life, and when her gaze shifts down, she spots Jiang Ning's shadow.

The midday sun is bright, and the shadows of both are clearly visible. Xue Yuantong reaches out, using her shadow to secretly pinch Jiang Ning's shadow.

Delighted, Xue Yuantong's pout turns into a smile, with a touch of mischief and cuteness at the corners of her mouth.

Next door, Chuchu pushes an electric scooter out, from her perspective, Tongtong is very close to Jiang Ning, her lip movement looks like a kiss.

'If I'm not mistaken...' Xue Chuchu feels a stir: 'Tongtong... actually wants to sneak a kiss to Jiang Ning!'

'How can she do this!'

'She's still a child!'

Just then, Tongtong notices Chuchu, and for a moment, four eyes meet.

Xue Chuchu's mind is in a turmoil, she instinctively pushes the scooter back into the house, shouting: "I didn't see anything just now!"

...

In the afternoon, the bell for the second class rings.

Jiang Ning rises from his seat, and says to Bai Yuxia at the front desk:

"If Tongtong wakes up next class, tell her I've gone shopping, and she should go to the cafeteria herself."

Shopping?

From Jiang Ning's tone, it seems he's planning not to return for a whole period, what kind of shopping needs so much time?

Bai Yuxia rarely sees him absent for an entire class.

Her expression remains unchanged, she responds simply: "Okay."

She doesn't ask Jiang Ning the reason, because in her understanding, if he wants her to know what he's doing, he will certainly choose to tell her.

Until she witnesses Jiang Ning climbing out the window, Bai Yuxia still doesn't hear from him.

Holding the ink pen, her fair and delicate hand hesitates to write.

Bai Yuxia's calm face flashes a bit of helplessness, she suddenly regrets: 'Should have asked him earlier.'

...

As the class approaches, class monitor Xin Youling is called away by class representatives from other classes to the meeting room.

This period is the last class in the afternoon, and it's a self-study class. Without the mascot's suppression, the classroom suddenly turns into a carnival.

Among them, the most excited is Liu Chuandao, he escapes straight from the dark cage, migrating south all the way to Xin Youling's seat.

Guo Kunnan sees his beloved woman's fragrant seat being occupied by the dirty Liu Chuandao, he is greatly displeased.

Previously, Dan Kaiquan and Liu Chuandao had conflicts, then he wanted to help Brother Quan deal with Liu Chuandao, but unfortunately got stopped by Director Wang, didn't succeed.

'No way, this is the monitor's seat, if I can't even protect her seat, how can I protect the monitor?' Guo Kunnan asks himself.

So, he must take action, Guo Kunnan secretly sends a message to his good brother: "Get rid of this thing."

Dan Kaiquan and Brother Nan are true brothers, a brief sentence and they understand each other, he grabs the chess box from the desk and swaggeringly walks to Xin Youling's seat.

"Buddy, make some room, I'm playing chess," Dan Kaiquan says.

"Why?" Liu Chuandao retorts.

This is the beautiful monitor's seat, and it's not far from Geng Lu, Chen Siyu, and Bai Yuxia, he might find a chance to flirt.

Even if there's no chance to flirt, he doesn't want to return to the abyss.

Moreover, he himself bears a grudge against Dan Kaiquan, retreating now would make him appear incompetent, where's his face then?

So Liu Chuandao definitely won't leave.

Dan Kaiquan is not unreasonable, he doesn't escalate the conflict with Liu Chuandao, after all, violence is not advisable.

Although he's not afraid of Liu Chuandao, if he can crush him with a more relaxed method, why not?

Dan Kaiquan: "Hey buddy, can you play chess?"

There's a hint of disdain in his tone, judging by chess skills, in the whole class 8 there're less than three people who can beat him.

Liu Chuandao is irritated by his expression: "Who can't play chess?"

Dan Kaiquan raises one finger: "One game decides the winner, loser leaves, dare or not?"

His voice is quite loud, all the students around hear it, curiosity-seekers like Song Sheng, Qiang Li, Cao Kun, Meng Zi Yun, and a large crowd cast their eyes over.

Alright, things have blown up now, Liu Chuandao can't back down.

Guo Kunnan gives the seat to Brother Quan, a game begins.

Guo Kunnan said to those around him, "Silent as you watch the game!"

...

Dan Kaiquan rushed into Liu Chuandao's territory, disrupting his formation completely and even capturing one of his [chariots].

In terms of chess skills, Liu Chuandao was far inferior to Dan Kaiquan.

But in terms of poor character, Dan Kaiquan was far inferior to Liu Chuandao.

With so many girls watching, Jiang Yanan, Meng Zi Yun, Shen Qing'e, all the girls Liu Chuandao liked, if he lost publicly to Dan Kaiquan, where would he put his pride?

High school students, unlike people in society, value face the most. Sometimes, to save face, they are even willing to give up everything.

[Chariot] was captured, Liu Chuandao panicked.

In a fit of anger, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a key, and slammed it down on the chessboard, using the key to take Dan Kaiquan's pawn.

The classmates around were stunned.

Before Dan Kaiquan could speak, Guo Kunnan angrily scolded, "What are you doing, cheating?"

Liu Chuandao: "You never said we can't use external objects?"

Guo Kunnan was infuriated, "Then how can you use a key to take a pawn?"

"Hahaha, this is a car key, isn't it a [chariot]?" Liu Chuandao shamelessly said, leaving the classmates around shocked.

This is too extreme!

Even ancient traitor Qin Hui had a few friends. Duan Shigang said, "I support Brother Dao, it's within the rules!"

Zhang Chi, who was teased by Dan Kaiquan when borrowing money at noon, also publicly opposed, "Yes, Chuandao did it right."

"Hahaha!" Liu Chuandao, supported by votes, laughed out loud.

Dan Kaiquan's face turned somber, "Fine."

His solemnity turned into a smile, exuding an overbearing aura, "Let you take one chariot, so what, can you win?"

Liu Chuandao cursed angrily, "Damn, arrogant!"

After three moves, he maneuvered the car key, collaborating with the pawn, to take down Dan Kaiquan's elephant, laughing loudly as he said:

"Quanzi, your knight is gone."

Dan Kaiquan strategized meticulously.

Liu Chuandao took his horse again, laughing, "Your horse is gone!"

Dan Kaiquan with a cannon fired his horse, also capturing his general: "You're an orphan now."

"F*ck!," Liu Chuandao stood up suddenly, pointing at Dan Kaiquan's nose, "Looking for trouble, huh?"

Dan Kaiquan slapped his hand away, coldly saying, "Let those around us judge who's looking for trouble?"

Liu Chuandao suddenly countered, "Gangzi, who's looking for trouble?"

Duan Shigang: "Dan Kaiquan."

This behavior was truly shameless, Dan Kaiquan said, "You have no integrity at all, now I know, you can't handle losing."

After saying this, Dan Kaiquan turned and left.

Classmates from class 8 cast disdainful glances, Liu Chuandao's face looked bad.

"Stop!" Liu Chuandao shouted, his tone stiff, "Who are you saying can't handle losing?"

He walked from his seat to the rivercourse, step by step towards Dan Kaiquan, his whole body tense, ready to kick out at any moment.

The atmosphere in the class was tense, Wang Longlong shouted, "Where's the class monitor, where's the class monitor!"

Cui Yu called out, "Whoever can keep the peace in the class is the class monitor!"

Dan Kaiquan also turned back, staring at Liu Chuandao.

Liu Chuandao's steps got faster, ready to fly-kick, letting Dan Kaiquan know who's the king of class 8.

Bai Yuxia was initially very interested, but suddenly, she noticed something wasn't right.

Before, she could watch the excitement because Jiang Ning protected this area.

Now that Jiang Ning wasn't there, if a fight broke out, given the size of both groups, they would surely turn the class into chaos, not knowing how many desks would fall, how many piles of books would suffer.

Without fists having eyes, she might get caught in it.

Thinking this, Bai Yuxia tried to dissuade, "Xue Yuantong is sleeping, you guys go back to your seats."

Liu Chuandao was so fired up, he didn't care about anyone, boasting loudly, "What does she count for?"

Jiang Yanan suddenly shouted, "Jiang Ning won't be happy."

Hearing this name, all the old students of class 8 shivered.
