The key was persistence, showing her his determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after breaking the ice would Qi Tianheng officially execute his real strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi said, \"Take it easy, I think Yang Sheng isn't an easy person to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter, I have my ways.\" Qi Tianheng was brimming with confidence; he was good-looking, well-connected, and one of the top students at Fourth Middle School, always decked out in designer clothes. Most importantly, he knew how to be romantic and please girls; he had never been short of girlfriends before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi didn't say much more, since Qi Tianheng wanted to try his luck, she'd let him be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, when she asked around about Jiang Ning, she discovered he was really something special, a student from a township school in Guyang County with average admission scores who had soared to second in Fourth Middle School's grade and among the top dozen in the city within just half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt inferior to such a record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were Jiang Ning's grades good, but Li Shi specifically asked Wang Yong from Class 8, and Jiang Ning was very tough in a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't need Wang Yong to tell her more; she had seen it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the guy had good luck with women; the school's top student, Xue Yuantong, and Geng Lu were more than just ordinary to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was Bai Yuxia, who often talked to Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi knew Bai Yuxia; they went to the same middle school and were in the same class in ninth grade, the two most beautiful girls in the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi was very aware of Bai Yuxia's family background: her father, an associate professor, her mother, a deputy chief physician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi's parents had mentioned that to achieve such stature before forty meant a bright future was likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, professions like doctors and professors often have a certain social status; Li Shi regarded Bai Yuxia as an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Yuxia was in a regular class at the start of the school year, her current grades were in the top forty of the grade, not much different from Li Shi's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi knew Bai Yuxia's temperament well and the fact that she got along with Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about all this, Li Shi found Jiang Ning quite interesting, planning to visit Experimental Class 1 after early self-study to chat with Ding Shuyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still hadn't forgotten the time when Jiang Ning called Ding Shuyan away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qi Tianheng's phone buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly unlocked it to see a message from an unknown number:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow morning, I want one portion of smoked chicken fajita, one cup of pure soy milk, one Garden Crisp Chicken Burger, and two egg tarts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianheng was over the moon—she had replied, she had replied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first day, and she had responded; his effort to get up early, go to the trouble of buying KFC breakfast, and then deliver it early to Class 8 had not been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep in mind, Qi Tianheng usually hardly ever attended early self-study; he often slept until ten before coming to school for classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving early from evening self-study was all too common for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, his strategy for hitting on girls was incredibly effective—a single breakfast had attracted her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianheng, showing off, lit up his phone screen for Li Shi, exclaiming happily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, I told you so, as soon as I made my move, I knew whether there was a chance or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't the opportunity here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi, looking at the text, was incredulous at first; just yesterday, there had been a conflict about a bicycle, and today she was actually asking for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did not fit with people's perceptions of Yang Sheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Li Shi felt that if Yang Sheng was really like that, then she truly had a thick skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi cast a glance at the string of menu items in the text, raising a doubt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a girl, isn't that a bit too much to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shi instinctively felt something was amiss; her own breakfast was roughly half the amount mentioned in the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianheng was puzzled for a second before defending the other party:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all, she's athletic; she definitely needs to replenish more energy, unlike you trying to control your figure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, 'It's good to eat more, it's really good; the more she eats, the faster her body will grow!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he persisted in delivering, he would certainly be able to win Yang Sheng's favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teen in Qi Tianheng's state was the most self-inspiring, tossing all concerns to the back of his mind, his only thought being Yang Sheng had replied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hope; it could happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sports Committee member Zhang Chi got a reply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for it, I'll arrange it for you tomorrow morning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi was ecstatic; she was really going to deliver?\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.568Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","62369c69006bd356580e0f64c9eac88cef2d3082d535e5976f496c47f459cd6b","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-205","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-203",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
