Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 237: Chapter 207: The Two Heroes of Fourth Middle School Chapter 237: Chapter 207: The Two Heroes of Fourth Middle School Jiang Ning came back carrying a big bag of snacks, which again drew the attention of the classmates.

Dan Xiao sat near the front. He looked at the bag for a couple of extra seconds before shifting his gaze away.

“It’s a bit tricky to make a move,” he concluded.

Moreover, Dan Xiao always found Jiang Ning to be quite cunning—if he made a move and got caught, he was sure Jiang Ning would kick him from his seat right up against the wall.

Dan Xiao was scared.

Bai Yuxia and Dan Kaiquan looked over, even Ma Shicheng from the back row lifted his head to look this way.

Having once shared a desk with Jiang Ning, he could scrounge up a couple of bags of snacks, later redeeming himself with a pack of Xylitol chewing gum or some other snack. Now that wasn’t possible—it was too far away.

Distance was a barrier to everything.

Of course, the classmate who watched Jiang Ning the closest was still Xue Yuantong, her eyes locked onto the bag in Jiang Ning’s hand without wavering.

Xue Yuantong didn’t speak. Ever since the afternoon when Jiang Ning used underhanded tactics to trick her into cleaning up the Go game, she unilaterally declared that she was mad at Jiang Ning.

So much that when school was out in the afternoon, she didn’t pay any attention to Jiang Ning; one glance from her and he “obediently” went to buy dinner.

However, what was strange was that after buying dinner, Jiang Ning still didn’t talk to her.

Xue Yuantong was anxious. She had initially decided unilaterally to “reconcile” with Jiang Ning, but she was too embarrassed to bring it up herself.

Jiang Ning placed the bag on the desk, and Chen Siqing turned around to ask,

“What delicious things did you bring this time?”

Jiang Ning rummaged through the bag: “Hawthorn strips, almonds, beef slices, squid shreds, chocolate star cups…”

He listed a whole array of snack names.

After Jiang Ning finished listing the snacks, he closed up the bag without sharing any.

The surrounding classmates didn’t think much of it; Jiang Ning had always been like this. He only shared when he was eating, and they weren’t in a hurry anyway—they would get some eventually.

Xue Yuantong: “Damn it, Jiang Ning has turned against us!”

He hasn’t come over to talk to her. Does he really think she would submit just for snacks?

She tilted her head back, looked sideways at Jiang Ning, and glanced at him with her eyes.

Jiang Ning took out his phone to play.

“Damn it, I clearly hinted it so obviously!”

Xue Yuantong didn’t want to bother with him anymore; she put on a cold face and acted aloof.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning said, “Want some?”

Xue Yuantong replied in a second: “Yes.”

…

After the evening self-study session ended.

Yang Sheng slowly came to the back row, looking at a few classmates.

She had already explained that the classmates who were on duty with her today didn’t need to do any work—she took over the duty team by herself.

“Guo Kunnan, you’re in charge of the first row on the south side,” Yang Sheng called out.

Guo Kunnan responded submissively: “Okay, okay, okay.”

Originally, he wanted to go out and buy some snacks, but now that he had to stay for duty, that was not happening. Fortunately, he had asked Hu Jun in advance.

Yang Sheng continued: “Dan Kaiquan and Cui Yu, you two are in charge of the two middle rows.”

Dan Kaiquan and Cui Yu went to get the brooms with grim faces.

“Lu Qiqi, what are you looking at? You are in charge of the row on the north side,” Yang Sheng kindly arranged for her.

Lu Qiqi cursed Yang Sheng countless times in her heart; this afternoon during PE class, she lost a bet with Yang Sheng, who then did the cloud ladder bars in front of her.

Lu Qiqi won a month’s worth of duty shifts.

Seeing that Lu Qiqi wasn’t moving, Yang Sheng said, “Yu Wen kept her promise; you’re not going to be worse than her, are you?”

Lu Qiqi got up and started working.

Ma Shicheng, seeing that everyone else was called out, shouted,

“What about me, what about me?”

Before Yang Sheng could say anything, Ma Shicheng clapped his hands and boasted.

“Ah, such a pity, I don’t have to do duty anymore!”

He purposely flaunted it in front of Yang Sheng.

That’s right, before, he had been the most hardworking, actively taking part in classroom duties, on top of moving bottled water, and soon paid off his “debt.” Now, Ma Shicheng was in high spirits.

He looked at Guo Kunnan and the others working hard on their duties and felt superior in his heart.

Yang Sheng ignored him and asked the others,

“Whoever wants to take out the trash can get out of one turn.”

Cui Yu rushed to answer: “I’ll do it!”

As they spoke, two students walked into the classroom of Class 8.

The two were about the same height, one was Qi Tianheng from Class 2, and the other was a senior from Second Year, who was Lu Qiqi’s boyfriend.

As Qi Tianheng entered the classroom, he saw Yang Sheng and the others. He made a lifting motion with his hand, glanced at his watch worth tens of thousands, and said,

“Little Yang Sheng, it’s your turn for duty today, huh!”

Qi Tianheng, being in the experimental class, never did duty, and no one dared ask him to, as he was the only person exempt from it.

“What’s it to you whether I do duty or not?” Yang Sheng replied as fierce as ever.

Qi Tianheng didn’t mind and thought that after sending breakfast for a few days, he might be able to take a step further:

“You order breakfast from me every day via text, seem to eat quite well; I came especially today to see if you’ve gained weight.”

After he finished, Ma Shicheng first looked at Yang Sheng, then at Qi Tianheng, finding it strange—how could Yang Sheng possibly ask for breakfast from someone?

But Ma Shicheng sensed there was more to it, though he said nothing.

However, Dan Kaiquan swung over. He had noticed Qi Tianheng entering the door and always despised such students who had a bit of foul money at home.

Having money, so what? It wasn’t earned by them; I still don’t think highly of you!

Compared to the experienced Ma Shicheng, Dan Kaiquan never cared about such things. He was always blunt and mocked:

“Yang Sheng actually never ate your breakfast, she always threw it away.”

Qi Tianheng’s gaze swept over to him, disbelievingly:

“Are you talking nonsense?”

Dan Kaiquan laughed: “I am from Class 8, why would I lie to you?”

Qi Tianheng then looked at Yang Sheng, realizing that the breakfasts of the past few days had been thrown away, he felt like he had been played, and he demanded to know:
