Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 1687 - 920: The Friendship Between Class 8’s Teachers and Students

The night at Fourth Middle School is different from the night at the river dam; it’s bustling, lively, and filled with the breath of youth.

Cui Yu, Meng Gui, Gangzi, Chuan Dao, a bunch of people gathered on the balcony, admiring Yun Tingting’s flirtatious stance.

Liu Chuandao’s eyes widened, as if his eyeballs could shoot out and stick to Yun Tingting’s yoga pants-wrapped hips.

The prematurely mature Hu Jun fiddled with a string of Buddha beads, a gift from his older girlfriend, which he cherished greatly.

"Not bad, Yun Tingting is even more curvaceous than last year," Hu Jun commented.

"With that much exercise, it’d be weird not to have a good body," Cui Yu replied.

Liu Chuandao lamented, "Too bad we can’t have it."

Yun Tingting was too popular; to add her contact, one had to queue up, and he hadn’t reached his turn yet. He should have had his turn, but handsome guys could cut in line.

At a young age, Liu Chuandao already experienced the agony of queuing for public housing in Peng City.

With this thought, Liu Chuandao couldn’t help but shout downstairs, "Yun Tingting, how far am I in line?"

Yun Tingting heard him but didn’t turn around, responding loudly, "You’re still in line? You don’t even get a turn!"

Liu Chuandao felt humiliated and embarrassed.

He shouted, "Am I not handsome?"

The corridor echoed with boos, "Not handsome."

Liu Chuandao’s male charm was rejected.

Yan Tianpeng from class 8 liked girls with carefree characters, and he shouted, "I’m not participating; can I watch from the side?"

Cui Yu jeered, "Qiqi, your man is cheating."

Lu Qiqi was on the balcony, pondering how to get closer to Gong Jin and live a rich lady’s life, to slap her green-tea-sister rival, Yu Wen.

Upon hearing Cui Yu’s jeering, she was extremely annoyed. If Gong Jin heard, he’d think she had a complicated relationship with Yan Tianpeng!

"I warn you, try jeering again!" Lu Qiqi spoke sharply.

After saying this, she went straight back to the classroom, but unfortunately, Gong Jin had left, so she couldn’t act in advance.

Meanwhile, Tang Jing and Huang Yuzhu also arrived at the balcony. Tang Jing knew Yun Tingting was a show-off and looked down on her similarly.

The jealousy of teenage girls can be frightening. In some backward and closed-off schools, Yun Tingting’s behavior would be surrounded and humiliated by delinquents, except Fourth Middle School was a provincial key school, and Deng Xiang’s group was just starting to show up when Jiang Ning disciplined them.

Especially when Tang Jing saw Huang Yuzhu staring at Yun Tingting, she was so angry her lungs were about to explode. "You with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually peeking at a show-off like her. Men are indeed all the same!"

Tang Jing questioned, "Is it nice to look at? You like it, huh? Are you even worthy?"

Huang Yuzhu replied honestly, "No, I just think she’s quite pitiful, wearing so little, she must be cold, right? Can’t she afford clothes?"

Tang Jing was instantly at a loss for words and momentarily didn’t know how to respond.

Class was about to start; Gong Jin finished chatting with Lin Zida from the neighboring class and returned to the balcony in front of class 8, glancing at the youthful and beautiful Yun Tingting downstairs.

He roughly understood the mindset of such girls, the kind with a strong sense of vanity, deliberately showcasing their bodies to attract others, thus satisfying their psychological needs.

’Quite interesting, just the rank is too low.’ Gong Jin commented indifferently, always remaining above mundane concerns.

Tang Jing held back for a long while before saying, "Remember, Huang Yuzhu, people wearing clothes like this are no good!"

"Oh, how can you say that about someone? It’s their pursuit! Every time I want to wear them, my family disagrees, sigh..." A worried voice chimed in.

Gong Jin initially felt sympathy, turning around only to find a delicate-looking boy.

He reflexively stepped back, "What is this thing?"

...

The class bell rang, signaling the second evening study session.

Lu Qiqi packed her things and moved to the desk behind Ma Shicheng and Wang Longlong, which was Gong Jin’s seat.

Wang Longlong noticed Lu Qiqi’s action but said nothing; since class monitor Xin Youling didn’t care, what was there for him to worry about?

After Lu Qiqi sat down, she forced a smile, "Gong Jin classmate, you won’t despise me, right?"

Having accepted her gift previously, Gong Jin now smiled, "I’m delighted!"

Thus, Lu Qiqi sat down.

Gong Jin maintained an air of control over everything; he was already a top figure in his circle. Perhaps Zhuang Jianhui once barely stood alongside him, but unfortunately, Jianhui had toned down a lot now.

Even in his own courtyard, his outstanding aura never lacked girls trying to get close.

Lu Qiqi wasn’t there without a reason; after settling in, she began getting friendly with Gong Jin.

"I must apologize to you!" Lu Qiqi started off.

Wang Longlong nudged Brother Ma, indicating to watch the fun.

Gong Jin asked, puzzled, "Apologize? For what?"

Looking at his confused expression, Lu Qiqi spoke, "You sat there alone for half the day, and I’m only now here to accompany you. Shouldn’t I apologize?"

Wang Longlong clapped for her, "So logical, Qiqi!"

Ma Shicheng: "Should let the self-conscious Brother Nan see."

Gong Jin looked visibly stunned, but given his vast experience, he replied, "Well, it’s not your fault."

Lu Qiqi: "It’s my fault, because you’re a guest from afar!"

Gong Jin: "Right, you’re called Lu... Qiqi, correct?"

Lu Qiqi was slightly annoyed and loudly chastised, "I even gave you a small gift, and you can’t remember my name? You deserve to treat me to bubble tea!"

Gong Jin: ’Is there something off with her logical thinking?’

His inherent logic in social interactions was utterly disrupted by Lu Qiqi.

Fortunately, Lu Qiqi only started off erratically; after chatting for a while, she was actually quite normal. The upper-class knowledge she learned online still could be used to fill the spaces.

"Your watch is unique; it’s more suited for you than a Rolex," Lu Qiqi complimented.
