How could a glass of wine lead to such a situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Li Shi become so irritable and angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they first met last year, Li Shi, though proud with the unique superiority of a rich girl from a small town, was still self-controlled and not so unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, because of the way one drinks wine, she tramples on others’ preferences to flaunt her own taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Zida’s view, it’s truly unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s already planning to suggest to Jianhui to take her out less often, as impulsive girls easily cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine when meeting someone like Jiang Ning, but if it were those punks from the barbecue stall last time, ones who disregard all rules, you might say they’d suffer a big loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Zhuang Jianhui was slightly intrigued, ’How should they respond next?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi targeted Jiang Ning initially because she couldn’t stand him. Her repeated setbacks had caused her to have a significant negative impression of Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s no longer about proving Ding Shuyan’s poor choice in friends, but more about surpassing Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many adults who have been in society for years easily lose control of their emotions and find it hard to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl raised in riches, how could she possibly be rational?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi gently swirled her wine glass, displaying a rather elegant and smooth gesture, clearly learned professionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a playful smile, she said, \"The reason you find mixing wine with sprite tasty is because your taste is lacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a common rule with drinking wine; as you drink more, you gradually move from liking sweet wines to preferring unsweetened ones, as sweetness can mask many complex aromas in wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Li Shi took a sip of her red wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of wine knowledge storage, Geng Lu certainly couldn’t compare to a girl from Li Shi’s background, so she simply said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll drink however I like; what’s it to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi covered her mouth and giggled, \"If you’re willingly led astray, no one will stop you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that some don’t understand but pretend to know a lot. It’s laughable how these unique wine flavors are ruined by those who don’t understand, yet they go on misguiding others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone can tell she was indirectly referring to Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning didn’t argue with her; with three hundred years of cultivation, he’s never been skilled in verbal disputes. He preferred direct action to extinguish conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, Dong Qingfeng, seeing Jiang Ning’s reaction, as a classmate, should have supported him or stood up for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Shi was too beautiful, too noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Qingfeng felt that in this scene, it was difficult for him to intervene, so he chose to stand by passively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Ji Xuan from class 9 saw this and felt both indignant and contemptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d disliked Jiang Ning for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a beautiful girl scolding Jiang Ning now, such a heaven-sent opportunity, Ji Xuan immediately belittled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ning, hiding behind a girl, what kind of skill is that for a man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Ji Xuan felt secretly pleased, ’Geng Lu oh Geng Lu, now you see clearly the kind of guy you chose!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Ji Xuan felt, ’I’m truly a real man!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about Geng Lu standing up for Jiang Ning earlier, he couldn’t help but feel slightly bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s comment assisted Li Shi, and she laughed brightly, \"Hiding behind a girl, does that qualify as being a man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Sheng heard this and furrowed her brows; her handsome face showing impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had benefitted significantly from Jiang Ning, so she spoke: \"Isn’t drinking something done according to one’s preferred taste?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t drinks and food meant to serve people? Or have you been enslaved by wine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clearly a personal eating habit, and yet you insist on pointing fingers.\" Yang Sheng looked disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Sheng’s voice matched her looks; her words were sharp and aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hostility made Li Shi’s face change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene froze for a few seconds before Jiang Ning amusingly said, \"To correct, I’m not hiding behind one girl, but two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Qingfeng: ’Damn!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan, burning with jealousy, thought that if possible, who wouldn’t want to hide behind girls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also recalled Geng Lu often treating Jiang Ning to meals and milk tea, feeling increasingly uneasy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan’s eyes bulged with anger; how can a person be so shameless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he fumed, he glanced at the short-haired girl’s beautiful profile, feeling both amazed and strongly uneasy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Lin Zida was amused; Jiang Ning’s temperament was truly interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Jianhui’s mouth twitched; that brief look of envy disappeared quickly, replaced by more disdain for Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a self-mocking smile, she said, \"Since you’re ignorant of right and wrong, it’s my meddling at fault then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She savored her wine, pretending to realize, \"You likely won’t have many opportunities to drink wine of such quality in your lifetime, so mixing it with Sprite is quite suitable; after all, it’s about pleasing oneself, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Growing up eating coarse food, there’s no discomfort in continuing to do so, but I’m different; my living environment is different. If I’m made to eat coarse food, I can’t endure it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, Li Shi turned and admired her nails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan felt uncomfortable hearing it, thinking, damn, what a foul mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>",925,"2026-05-30T14:40:20.427Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","740bf20c394f356992b14c40f651745f474bb6c72eec70fbd2b236d61e993511","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1140","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1138",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
