Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

From a distance, he spotted Jiang Ning's silhouette and was reminded once more of that day during gym class when Jiang Ning bench-pressed 140kg.

Suddenly, a inexplicable melancholy filled his heart.

Qiang Li nudged Song Sheng, signaling him to look.

Song Sheng not only saw Jiang Ning but also the two girls beside him, especially Bai Yuxia, the most beautiful girl in class.

On one hand, Song Sheng believed in the notion that the strong have everything, that strong people can have beautiful girls.

On the other hand, he was quite displeased.

Because the strong person was someone else.

Song Sheng clenched his fists, his face full of determination: "Today, I'll do two extra sets of bench presses!"

In contrast, Qiang Li seemed a bit deflated, 140kg!

He had been to several gyms and had seen the highest at 120kg, many lifetime fitness coaches were stuck at the limit of 110kg.

Qiang Li couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Ning's starting point is my endpoint, sigh!"

With his sigh, a bit of bleakness filled the air, coupled with the withered yellow leaves, it made one even more sentimental about the seasons.

Wang Longlong, noticing his despondent appearance, couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't think like that, you might not even reach this endpoint."

...

Outside the school, there was a dessert shop called [Grain in Ear].

At the shop's entrance, there was a big sunshade, and as Jiang Ning looked over, he felt it had the style of a future internet-famous place, especially the minimalist small tables under the sunshade covered with checkered tablecloths.

Beside a flower pot, a fat cat was tied; the cat's size was comparable to a small gas tank, bigger than most dogs.

Chen Siyu ran up to the cat, wanting to reach out and touch, only to be hurriedly warned by a young female shop assistant who came out from inside:

"You can't touch this cat, it's very fierce!"

The shop assistant spoke with great solemnity, "You see, the shop manager tied it up."

Startled by this warning, Chen Siyu temporarily gave up on the idea, it was truly the first time she had seen such a fat big cat.

Bai Yuxia moved indoors, ordered several cake slices, and also got the shop's new milk tea.

After ordering, she sat down outside at a small table in the warm sun.

Chen Siyu sat on a small chair, her gaze occasionally drifting to the big cat beside her, the cat was indeed a big one, currently lazily lying on the ground, fluffy all over, looking very cute.

"This cat isn't fierce at all!" Chen Siyu muttered softly, "Could it be they don't let us pet it on purpose?"

Saying this, Chen Siyu gently called, "Kitty~"

The big fat cat on the ground didn't respond to her.

"Kitty~"

Still no response, Chen Siyu thought this cat was so lazy.

Bai Yuxia didn't like meddling too much, so she said: "I think we should listen to the shop assistant."

Chen Siyu was much more active, always wanting to reach out and pet the cat, to give it a stroke, "It's so pitiful, even being tied up."

Bai Yuxia analyzed rationally: "Maybe, as the shop assistant said, it's because it's too fierce that it's been tied up."

Soon, the shop assistant came up with a tray, "Our new milk tea [Swaying Summer Full of River]."

Chen Siyu glanced over and found the appearance of this milk tea particularly impressive, it looked much higher-end than any milk tea she had seen before.

The cup's surface was in the style of ukiyo-e, the most striking feature was the thick layer of cream on top, as white as snow and soft as a cloud, gently covering the milk tea beneath.

The sunshine today was excellent, lightly filtering down, and the edges of the cream top caught a faint pinkish glow, with a sprinkle of syrup-coated pecan bits on top.

Just one look, and Chen Siyu was captivated, it was so beautiful.

She quickly took out her phone, snapping "ka ka ka" pictures of the milk tea, then instantly posted them in the class group.

On the playground, Lu Qiqi had been keeping an eye on their movements, and upon seeing this milk tea, the answer was obvious.

Jiang Yanan was surprised: "They really went out."

Yu Wen returned from afar, her face showing some displeasure: "What's so proud about sneaking out of class?"

Jiang Yanan: "They didn't sneak out, have you ever seen Jiang Ning skive?"

Shen Qing'e wanted to express her dissent.

When they were in middle school, there was a time when she was ill and Jiang Ning skipped class to buy her medicine and fetch water.

However, if she spoke about it, no one present would probably believe her, right?

Shen Qing'e naturally didn't go looking for trouble.

Chen Siyu not only took pictures of the milk tea but also some desserts and pretty little tables, making many girls in the class itch to run out and take photos.

Dessert shop.

Jiang Ning basked in the sun, leisurely using a spoon to scoop up the cream top, taking a bite, the cream mixed with pecan pieces elevated the texture.

This reminded him of a very famous internet-famous milk tea from the future.

Having tasted the milk tea she was longing for, Chen Siyu started scheming for that big fat cat again.

The shop assistant ran out once more to remind: "Do not touch it!"

Chen Siyu was utterly speechless, if you can't touch it, then what's the point of having it squatting there, isn't it just to make people itch?"

Jiang Ning watched for a moment, and as the shop assistant left, he moved his chair over next to the big fat cat.

This cat was very proud, not even sparing Jiang Ning a glance.

Under Chen Siyu's expectant eyes, Jiang Ning reached out to touch the big cat, resulting in the cat letting out a yowl, it instantly flared up, jumping up to claw at Jiang Ning.

It startled Chen Siyu.

Too fierce, almost fiercer than a tiger!

In such a situation, the average person wouldn't be able to react in time and would definitely get scratched by the cat, even though the cat's claws had been trimmed.

Jiang Ning remained calm, his outstretched hand didn't retract but continued forward, holding the cat's collar and lifting its twenty-jin body.

At the same time, the Divine Sense exerted a pressuring awe over the cat, the aura of a top predator instantly scared the cat out of its wits.

Jiang Ning placed it on the ground, smoothing its fur, looking indifferent: "Now it doesn't dare resist."

Bai Yuxia witnessed the whole process, at this moment she felt Jiang Ning's effortless attitude was simply unbelievably cool.

She was a little, captivated by his handsomeness.

The shop assistant, hearing the commotion, hurried out to observe the situation and saw this scene.

Watching Jiang Ning's brazen hand and the powerless fat cat, she couldn't believe it: "Why doesn't it scratch you?"

Jiang Ning said directly: "Maybe it's just timid."

How could it be?

The shop assistant knew full well this cat had a violent temper, prone to exploding; just yesterday, it almost bit a customer.

Yet now it's so obedient, like a different cat.

Jiang Ning let go of his hand, and the fat cat, feeling a reprieve, instinctively ran a little distance away, avoiding Jiang Ning's clutches.

Then, Jiang Ning pointed at it, the fat cat's head shrank, revealing a human-like fear, then slowly crept back.

"Alright, you can pet it."

Chen Siyu, originally resting her face in her hands watching from the side, trusted Jiang Ning too much; after hearing him, she didn't hesitate anymore, using her hand to rub the big yellow fat cat.

The soft feel and the inner joy allowed the remaining hand to prop her cheek as she smiled faintly, her smile pure and innocent, sweeter even than the delicious dessert.

After seeing this, Bai Yuxia also petted the cat, primarily considering the obedient fat cat now was so different in contrast to the unruly one earlier, stroking such a cat gave a great sense of achievement.

It's like many wealthy people abroad, who like to keep fierce beasts because it brings a sense of conquest; it's not only men who have this, but girls do too.

Chen Siyu not only petted the cat but also took photos.

She lifted the heavy fat cat and placed it in front, it truly was a big one, looking much like a little gas tank.

Chen Siyu slightly turned her body, letting the golden sunlight drape over her, making her youthful skin more delicate and transparent, with a soft glow.

She held the big fat cat up to chest height, placing it in the spotlight, and then with a clear expression, she asked Jiang Ning:

"Look quickly, look quickly, isn't my kitty big?"

Jiang Ning replied: "It's blocked by the cat, I can't see."
