It hurt too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yun Tingting continued playing badminton, she inevitably lost some vigor, her jumps much less frequent, drawing sighs of disappointment from the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning from the cafeteria, Jiang Yanan and her friends were preparing to go buy milk tea off-campus, just in time to witness this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan’s eyes sparkled: \"Qing’e, Jiang Ning was called by Yun Tingting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e was in a bad mood, her face darkening: \"Let him be called then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, she’s noticed that ever since moving to the back row, Jiang Yanan mentions Jiang Ning much more frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Jiang Yanan isn’t doing it on purpose, but to Shen Qing’e, it’s irritating to hear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan, being able to become good friends with Yu Wen and Lu Qiqi, and getting along well, naturally has a keen social and observant mind, more so than straightforward Yu Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sensed a hint of displeasure from Shen Qing’e and immediately changed the topic: \"How would you rate Yun Tingting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed Yun Tingting making moves on Jiang Ning, Shen Qing’e’s impression of her was extremely poor, and she gently said: \"The feeling... is not great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan: \"Yeah, I think so too. I heard from Cui Yu that she seems to have a boyfriend, right? Yet she’s still calling other guys to play badminton.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e: \"Her behavior makes me assume the worst intentions of her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance created between the two girls due to the topic of Jiang Ning suddenly closed again when they started bad mouthing others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking ahead, Jiang Ning thought to himself: ’Indeed, the strongest bonds are formed over shared dislikes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of malicious speculation, Jiang Yanan exclaimed: \"Hey, is it okay for us to badmouth others behind their backs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was trying to seek some moral consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e thought for a moment and said: \"It’s wrong to badmouth, but we’re right about her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan felt relieved; Qing’e indeed had a way with words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning silently observed the two from the front. To others, the cute and beautiful, graceful and elegant Shen Qing’e always seemed out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing her whispers with Jiang Yanan, Jiang Ning realized that they weren’t much different from the boys in class; they too got jealous, gossiped, and sought camaraderie in criticizing others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty girls, or so-called goddesses, were just ordinary people, not the illusory perfect image in men’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Ning pondered, he wondered, who would imagine Shen Qing’e to be flawless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, it was the past me.’ Jiang Ning’s expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class 8, the four inseparables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong and Chen Siyu shared earphones, watching an exciting anime, [Attack on Titan].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Siyu invited Bai Yuxia to join, but Bai Yuxia found there were no more earphones and declined, stating she didn’t watch anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ha, not watching! Not watching, right?’ Chen Siyu was inwardly plotting, planning to show Bai Yuxia some mature content in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely unaware of the sinister thoughts beside her, Xue Yuantong advised: \"Yuxia, since you don’t watch anime, get Jiang Ning to bring me some milk tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Siyu: \"I want some too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia agreed and didn’t stay in the classroom but went outside for some fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She messaged Jiang Ning and received a quick reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing by the balcony, the cold wind tousled her hair, styled in a high ponytail today, with a beauty that was confident and poised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished the anime episode, Xue Yuantong realized her milk tea hadn’t arrived, and Bai Yuxia was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thus messaged Bai Yuxia: \"Did Jiang Ning buy the milk tea? Did he buy it? Did he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia received the message, thinking Tongtong was quite muddled, wondering why she didn’t simply ask Jiang Ning directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her face, aided by the school lights, and spotted Jiang Ning in the distance on the pathway, along with the milk tea in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pace was leisurely, not hurried at all, as if strolling through a garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the eager Tongtong back in the classroom, Bai Yuxia messaged: \"Stop strolling, hurry up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she received another message from Jiang Ning: \"Spying on me, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia was speechless. She quickly moved away from the balcony to avoid being seen by Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia calmly replied: \"No, I have no idea where you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jiang Ning sent another message: \"Right into your heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuxia’s fair face instantly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really couldn’t stand it! How could he be so flirtatious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she couldn’t help but glance at the chat history again, she found it inexplicably funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning returned with milk tea, fully loaded, and was welcomed by Tongtong and Chen Siyu, as well as Bai Yuxia’s reproachful glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Song Sheng, you’re playing at the back every day lately?\" Jiang Ning teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng thought to himself, ’If you were stuck between Pang Jiao and me, could you stay there?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid trouble, during non-class times, he would surely not return to his seat. Hence, the back of the classroom became his refuge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would either hang out with Huang Yuzhu, Miao Zhe, or go over to Wang Longlong’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Ning drinking milk tea again, Song Sheng instinctively wanted to lecture him, saying milk tea is bad for health, drinking one cup makes a day of fitness useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, recalling Jiang Ning’s bench press results, he swallowed his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, compared to Jiang Ning and them, Song Sheng thought Pang Jiao was the one who needed to lose weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The preparation bell rang, like a death knell, pulling Song Sheng back to his front-row seat in the Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh Yanyan, I had vegetables for breakfast, vegetables for lunch, and vegetables for dinner, I’m sure I can lose weight!\" Pang Jiao’s tone was less forceful than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng knew she was starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, it was Pang Jiao’s first day of officially dieting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan Yan encouraged, \"So amazing, Jiaojiao, you will definitely slim down to your desired weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Jiao: \"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Pang Jiao’s desk mate, Song Sheng witnessed her having three vegetable meals a day, she was indeed dieting. Song Sheng glanced at Pang Jiao’s blender-like body, and comforted himself, ’If she can lose weight, it would have some benefits for me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the field of fitness and dieting, Song Sheng had some insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"If you keep eating only vegetables every day, you’re bound to lose weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Jiao’s big eyes widened, \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng: \"I’m a regular at the gym!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words added a bit more confidence to Pang Jiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, hunger is one of the most terrifying things in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First period, Pang Jiao relied on willpower to resist hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second period, she lost her rationality, her big eyes turned red, terrifying Song Sheng, who couldn’t concentrate on studies, fearing he’d be eaten alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final evening self-study session, Pang Jiao spent money buying Guo Kunnan’s instant noodles, Yang Sheng’s chocolate bars, Yu Wen’s bread, Miao Zhe’s braised duck leg, and Xin Youling’s cookies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She transformed into a Taotie, devouring everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Sheng: \"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature suddenly dropped at night, below zero. Even though there were many students in the classroom, the cold still swept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four heaters in a row were warm, and Xue Yuantong played with his phone skillfully, unafraid of the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was different for other students, Dan Kaiquan only wore a thin jacket and kept shivering, trying to warm up by shaking his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning remembered that a year ago, when he was still at his front desk, it was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi asked, \"Dan Kaiquan, are you very cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of girls, how could a guy show weakness? Dan Kaiquan said, \"Haha, not cold, not cold at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and said, \"Feels great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi: \"Nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu said, \"To be fair, boys are more cold-resistant than girls and have higher body temperatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi, being a modern independent woman, scoffed at this: \"That’s nonsense, it’s well known online that the water temperature we girls use for showers is much higher than boys, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu: \"What temperature? I used 56° water before at the bathhouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi refused to be outdone: \"I’m 66°.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen chimed in: \"My home is 76°.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong stepped up: \"That’s nothing, Jiang Ning uses 100° water and doesn’t even feel it’s hot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1444,"2026-05-30T14:40:22.483Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","9e07332884529e510b5e653ab23673c64ee9892893d6ddd0db660cbf55915b1e","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1334","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1332",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
