She was traumatized and didn’t dare to try again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if another racket got stuck up there? Wouldn’t that be even worse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over at the sports ground, Zhang Chi walked by holding a table tennis paddle. Jiang Yanan quickly called out as soon as she saw Zhang Chi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Chi, could you give us a hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi was the sports representative in their class. Even though his reputation among the boys wasn’t great, the girls had a different perspective, and having not interacted much, Jiang Yanan felt from their brief past interactions that Zhang Chi was alright, quite responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi followed everyone’s gaze and spotted the badminton racket hanging on the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He volunteered: “I’ll get it down for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the table tennis paddle, which was very worn, its surface pad completely gone, leaving only the bare wooden board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi, holding the paddle, sprinted toward the tree; as he reached it, he pushed off the ground, leapt up fiercely, and reached out for the badminton racket mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he fell short of the height by quite a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen and several of her friends were disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi wasn’t willing to give up and jumped a few more times but still couldn’t reach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe you should try with a badminton racket,” Yu Wen suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi took the badminton racket, tried out the feel, and ran into another jumping attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still fell short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, he said, “No use, maybe try with a tree branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around for one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen and her friends were also at a loss, with the exam starting in not too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were anxiously panicked in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shen Qing’e saw Jiang Ning passing by on his mountain bike, followed by their classmate Xue Yuantong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this pairing, Shen Qing’e felt a sudden lump in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered when she first came to Fourth Middle School, one evening after self-study, she saw Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong walking home together and she had been disdainful, because in her view, Jiang Ning moving out of his uncle’s house to rent a room was merely a sign of immaturity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, she didn’t think much of Xue Yuantong either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Xue Yuantong scored first in the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning was also becoming excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Shen Qing’e regret it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe a little. In middle school, Jiang Ning had helped her a lot, and she was well aware of his intentions, but she had never liked Jiang Ning, not even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She admired the kind of guy who was tall and strong, with good grades, and could play basketball, not the once plain and unremarkable Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why then, despite not liking him, was she still affected by it, as if something that had belonged to her was being taken away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since she had talked to Jiang Ning, though he had gone to his uncle’s house several times, and they had barely acknowledged each other with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in her heart and suddenly mustered up the courage to shout:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s gaze moved over to them, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e continued to shout, “The badminton racket is stuck in the tree, can you help us get it down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone had a hint of pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen muttered in a low voice beside her, “Why ask him to do it, it’s too high, if Zhang Chi can’t reach it, Jiang Ning definitely can’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi, being the physical education representative, had a good reputation for physical fitness among the girls. He planned to pursue sports in the future, and his high jump ability was definitely remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e’s mind was a bit chaotic; after encountering Jiang Ning, she hadn’t thought much and just instinctively called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong spotted the racket in the tree from afar and said to Jiang Ning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you going to take action?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t take action, then I’m going to have to,” Xue Yuantong declared with a triumphant air, as if the badminton racket hanging high above was but a flick away from falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning responded, “I’ll handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed his mountain bike over to Xue Yuantong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong steadied the handlebars, slightly out of her element, since she was used to being chauffeured and had never pushed a bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were clumsy as she cautiously pushed the bike to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Qing’e saw Jiang Ning coming over, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if reuniting with an old friend after many years, and her facial features softened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e was not bad-looking, a graceful girl with a delicate face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yu Wen didn’t like Jiang Ning very much, she knew better than to mock someone who was there to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, she didn’t hold much hope that the problem would be resolved, even with Jiang Ning’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan then handed a shuttlecock to Jiang Ning, “Will you use this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning answered, “No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi, puzzled, asked, “How will you get it down without this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning offering his help was irksome to Zhang Chi. As the sports committee member, if he was unable to accomplish the task but Jiang Ning succeeded, wouldn’t that be a blow to his pride?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High school boys cared deeply about saving face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t intervene outright. He could only watch and wait for Jiang Ning to fail, hoping that would restore some sense of balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhongfei inquired, “Jiang Ning, do you have a plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong clenched her little fists tightly yet encouraged him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ning is super amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong believed that Jiang Ning could do anything; to her, he was the most incredible person in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning nodded slightly and made his way towards the cypress tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e couldn’t believe it: ‘Does he… plan to shake the tree?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan next to her were also incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi watched Jiang Ning’s figure and said quickly, “That method won’t work; it’s a wasted effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning remained silent, continuing on his determined stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, only the surprised gazes of several people remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yanan asked, “Do you think he can get it down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen: “Absolutely impossible. Have you seen how thick that tree is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi: “I should go find some branches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e had to admit, albeit unwillingly, that Jiang Ning was being rash this time. She wanted to stop him but felt too embarrassed to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Jiang Ning had approached the large tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the tree, its trunk almost as thick as a grown man’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a challenge for any ordinary person to shake it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning stretched out his hand, transforming it into a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen watched the scene, astonished: “Does he really plan to shake it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e also harbored doubts at heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Jiang Ning’s palm simply pushed forward—seemingly a gentle, effortless push with no apparent strength—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that hand touched the Big Bai Yang Tree, the trunk shockingly trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of green leaves fell, and the badminton racket, wedged between the branches, jostled twice before dropping to the concrete below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen was in disbelief, mouth agape:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he that strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a leaf landed on her head, and for a moment she forgot to remove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi swallowed hard: “Holy shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e’s feelings were too complex to describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Xue Yuantong shook her little fist excitedly, exclaiming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? That’s my Jiang Ning!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.568Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","41632d8879680153610d3321c561a14d67a4f8b76518d30cf43e562c542c6fc4","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-306","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-304",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
