We said to eat casually, but the lunch turned out to be actually delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen: \"But that wasn’t what I wanted to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e: ’You’re hard to please.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a 10 cm hairstyle, Meng Gui joined the conversation, \"I really envy you girls, even if you can’t get the person you like, you can still just find someone to date.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi glanced at Meng Gui and said, \"No matter what, girls have people pursuing them; you guys have to work hard to have a wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui: \"That’s why I’ve decided to get married right after college graduation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi: \"Are you dating someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui: \"Nope, I’m just picking a date first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi was sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t be bothered with this fool and started fiddling with her iPhone 5S: \"Wenwen, I think you should find a guy who likes you and is willing to do anything for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see the 5S in my hand? Back then, a college student chasing me gave it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong was shocked: \"Do college students have so much money now? They give away iPhones worth thousands without a second thought?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the iPhone 6 is now released, the 5S is still something most students can’t afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi laughed at the words: \"He did give it to me, but he bought it in installments over 24 periods, it’s hilarious; we broke up, and he’s probably still paying for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her laughter was cold, carrying a thick sense of mockery that made people uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng, who was doing an English test paper, raised his head and asked, \"So what are you laughing at? Laughing at his foolishness or your cleverness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi’s smile paused: \"Of course I’m laughing at him being foolish, isn’t he dumb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks like a toad and always wants to take me out; when we stand together, he looks like a senior to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui glanced at her face and spoke: \"Don’t belittle others; the key is, you’re not particularly pretty either, just ordinary in reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi’s face changed: \"None of your damn business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui: \"Using the scoring system I built, your looks are only a 3.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zi Yun, who had been mingling around, suddenly felt strong discomfort hearing Meng Gui’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zi Yun used to be a big sister, exceptionally popular during elementary school, but due to character issues, she faced judgments from outsiders more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, realizing the environment had changed, she voluntarily distanced herself from bad friends and reformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself was pretty, enough to mesmerize the excellent Cao Kun, which speaks volumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to an unpleasant past, she hated being judged by others, and now facing such a situation again, directly triggered her stress response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having little friendship with Lu Qiqi, Meng Zi Yun stood up at that moment and bluntly scolded Meng Gui:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you get the right to score us girls? We reject being defined!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her momentum as a heroine fully revealed, containing an oppressive aura from years as a big sister, created by slapping countless defiant ones, making people frightened at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi felt her affection increase significantly when someone backed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she and Yu Wen and the others got along well, the three of them weren’t as refined and self-serving as she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when a boy pursued Jiang Yanan, Lu Qiqi advised her to extract more benefits, but unfortunately, Jiang Yanan didn’t take her advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, upon hearing Meng Zi Yun’s independent statement, Lu Qiqi deeply resonated, realizing they were of the same mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being scolded by Meng Zi Yun, Meng Gui reacted calmly, scrutinized her, and concluded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a 2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zi Yun nearly went crazy, her first thought not being to curse Meng Gui but falling into doubt, ’Why am I ranked lower than Lu Qiqi?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An immense indignation filled her heart, prompting her to retort:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You say I’m a 2, then I’m a 2? Who do you think you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui ignored her, turned his gaze to Jiang Yanan, assessed, and said: \"6.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Qing’e, 7.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Wen, 5.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng: \"Not bad, quite objective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zi Yun struggled to maintain composure, her inner rage causing emotional fluctuation: \"You think you say it and that it is? Laughable, who cares about your scores?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Gui continued: \"Wang Yan Yan, 2.5.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zi Yun’s nerves almost snapped; Wang Yan Yan, who looks like a flounder, compared to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s hilarious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talking nonsense, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really good at pretending.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After grading, Meng Gui left with flair, leaving Meng Zi Yun fuming on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong thought to himself, ’Isn’t it better to just sit back and watch? Why get involved in our Class 8 drama.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing Meng Zi Yun defeated, he felt quite pleased inside; the shadow she cast on him during elementary school seemed to have faded a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Meng Zi Yun thought about it, the angrier she got. She went back and vented through a short essay on QQ Space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admit, I don’t have a perfect score in looks, but the environment in Class 8 truly disappoints me; some male classmates lack even basic decency...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No gender is superior; we are not objects, so why are we being scored? Honestly, some male classmates really let me down...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu didn’t even look and commented below: \"Triggered and upset!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the second afternoon class, the English teacher Chen Haiyang stepped into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a head of black hair, youthful and vigorous, he strode like a dragon, standing up on the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang’s voice boomed: \"Did you finish the test paper from last night’s self-study?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving a positive reply, Chen Haiyang said: \"Then let’s go over the paper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang liked to circle around the class while teaching; this behavior effectively enhanced the students’ attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When covering the test paper, he would often skip over unimportant questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the cloze test, Chen Haiyang wrote the answers on the blackboard, asking the students to compare them first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t worried about the students in the front row because of their proficiency in English, but the back row sometimes struggled to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wandered to the back row and asked the studious Duan Shigang: \"How many did you get right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Shigang: \"Got 10 right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang nodded: \"Not bad, a fifty percent chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Chen Haiyang walked to Ma Shicheng and his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last monthly exam, Ma Shicheng’s English score doubled, from 25 to 50 points, improving rapidly, so Chen Haiyang had high expectations for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang looked at Ma Shicheng’s test paper and asked: \"How many did you get right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng took a deep breath and instead of answering directly, he asked: \"Teacher, is there a mistake in the answers on the blackboard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang: \"Do you doubt my 30 years of teaching experience?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their dialogue wasn’t deliberately softened, and from the front row, Dong Qingfeng laughed and said: \"Ma Shicheng, face the answers bravely, man up, don’t avoid it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen: \"Are you just banking on a fluke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top student Song Sheng gave Ma Shicheng an undisguised look of disdain: \"Ma Shicheng, with a one-in-four chance if you pick A, B, C, or D, I bet you got 15 wrong, but your luck is not great, so it should be 16.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Sheng finished speaking, many classmates burst out laughing, \"Hahaha, his luck really isn’t good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng had previously been last in the class, crowned thrice in a row, and since his personality wasn’t extreme, everyone felt at ease teasing him, not worried he held grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Haiyang frowned, wanting to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng appeared composed, gently saying: \"Oh, if it wasn’t written in the wrong line, I should have got them all right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom’s commotion stopped for that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Qingfeng was so shocked that his pen fell, and he said in disbelief: \"Are you kidding me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng squinted even more, releasing a sharp glint: \"Ma Shicheng, it’s wrong to lie just for the sake of face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng spread out his test paper, intending to show it to Teacher Chen Haiyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi, who had past grievances against him, seized the chance to press: \"Just because you got the answers right, doesn’t mean you wrote them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng looked around and saw nothing but skepticism; even his usually close classmates wore doubtful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What can I gain from defeating them this time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forget it, this isn’t the place to explain.’ Ma Shicheng thought, ’I’ll prove it in the next exam.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again deliberately gazed at the blackboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In everyone’s eyes, Ma Shicheng’s expression changed from confident to surprised, and he blurted out: \"Oops, turns out I really saw it wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, I told you you got it wrong,\" Song Sheng laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Qingfeng, in the role of an outstanding student, gave him advice from a high position: \"Ma Shicheng, oh Ma Shicheng, in learning, always be down-to-earth, don’t indulge in wishful thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class resumed its harmonious atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>",1607,"2026-05-30T14:40:20.427Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","592a83daa2136ec33b232163faceb87714a6f63a40f81f1f7768e9f63ca40788","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1104","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1102",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
