Ah, now I’m thinking about how great the first New Year’s party was, what will we do next year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e said, “Next term, we’ll be split into humanities and sciences, with new students joining the class. Maybe some interesting people will show up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three girls were discussing, Cui Yu lent an ear to eavesdrop, ignoring Yu Wen and Shen Qing’e, paying special attention to Jiang Yanan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu extracted a key point: “Jiang Yanan likes magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered, “Could I learn magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of learning magic, his first thought was of Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, Cui Yu dismissed this thought; since Jiang Ning had already performed his magic once, even if he learned it, he wouldn’t astonish Jiang Yanan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Jiang Ning’s magic would definitely be difficult to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When in doubt, seek Brother Ma; Cui Yu dashed to the back row, which had by now become a dust field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst the dust, Wu Xiaoqi was practicing street dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng and the others had all gone outside to avoid the dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu then ran to the corridor, intending to find Brother Ma for advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he got outside, he happened to meet Hu Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun glanced at Cui Yu, “I see you’re frowning; what bothers you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t hesitate to share with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun was capable and a genuinely nice guy, so Cui Yu sighed, “I want to learn magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, magic,” Cui Yu said, he wanted to learn magic, to impress Jiang Yanan with something she liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun beamed with confidence, “Magic, eh? I know about that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu’s interest piqued, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun: “Guaranteed to be thrilling, come on, let’s talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so Cui Yu forgot about seeking Brother Ma and got hooked in a conversation with Hu Jun, both of them discussing magic with great enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your dance foundation isn’t strong,” Dan Kaiquan pointed out from the classroom door, criticizing Wu Xiaoqi’s weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi, feeling annoyed—he’d been practicing dance for quite a few years—couldn’t stand the nitpicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where exactly isn’t it strong?” Wu Xiaoqi challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan, now physically robust and not intimidated by Wu Xiaoqi, said calmly, “Your flexibility is poor; it hampers your dance performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To persuade him, Dan Kaiquan immediately performed a high kick; it was nearly 180 degrees and quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi scoffed, “What’s so hard about that? I can do it too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan: “Oh, I don’t believe you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi loudly declared, “I’ll kick right now for you to see, watch closely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan turned around and called his friends, “Brother Nan, you guys have to come to watch, Wu Xiaoqi wants to compete with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing there was a show to watch, Guo Kunnan, Wang Longlong and the others gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, show us something flashy!” they egged him on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi had long been accustomed to being the center of attention; he was often the MVP on the basketball court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faced this scene with exceptional calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood at attention, and in his Tai Chi clothes covered in dust, he had an air of having weathered many trials and tribulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiqi said, “Really nice, those clothes suit you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi’s mouth curled into a faint smile; the feeling came back, just like the sensation of being on the basketball court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dan Kaiquan, I’ll show you what flexibility is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should one respond to the doubts of others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them laugh, let them rage, let them mock, I will break through with my own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi’s eyes swept through the classroom like searchlights, with most of the students now looking his way—people like Yu Wen, Jiang Yanan, Wang Yan Yan, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Miao Zhe, from the corner of the classroom in the south, was looking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here it comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The big one is coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi took a deep breath, holding his face tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His street dance earlier had warmed him up; what followed would demonstrate his flexibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Dan Kaiquan’s dismissive gaze, Wu Xiaoqi thought to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘In the next second, your dismissiveness will turn to amazement.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi was on the move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi’s crotch was brimming with power. With a fierce whip of his leg, it was so fast that it created the illusion of multiple leg shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His high kick went from low to high, skimming past his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rip!” There was a loud sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tai Chi pants couldn’t withstand his explosive force and tore apart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Damn it!’ Wu Xiaoqi only felt a chill in his lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down in horror and saw a pair of bright underwear flaunting itself beneath his white Tai Chi pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“HAHAHAHA!” Cui Yu, slapping the door frame, could not stop laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!” Dan Kaiquan doubled over, holding his stomach and unable to stand up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Zhe couldn’t bear to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter filled the area and continued to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xiaoqi then looked at his classmates. Lu Qiqi could no longer hold back her laughter, and Wang Yanyan and the girls in the front row were staring straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wu Xiaoqi’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed his crotch and ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter in the class didn’t subside until the break was almost over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong had been sleeping the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu talked to Jiang Ning, “I’ll come to see you this weekend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I can pick you up,” replied Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he cycled very fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t trouble yourself; you’d have to get up too early,” she declined. Her home was not close to where Jiang Ning lived, so she planned to have her mother drive her there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Shen Qing’e came around from the podium and stopped in the aisle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning and Geng Lu looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e was notable for her appearance, wearing a jacket that was a patchwork of pink and blue over a white undershirt emblazoned with a cartoon animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the cartoon animal was not three-dimensional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, she wore blue skinny jeans that hugged her slender legs. There was a slash on the left thigh and two on the right, making them quite unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ning, Uncle told you to come over for a meal this weekend,” Shen Qing’e reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning nodded, “He called me yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm, he wanted me to remind you,” Shen Qing’e emphasized deliberately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks,” said Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e had gathered her courage to find him, and now, hearing him say ‘thanks,’ her heart suddenly felt blocked and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their relationship, they never said ‘thanks’ to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Thanks’ might signify distancing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qing’e felt indescribably uncomfortable, really ill at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mumbled an “Okay,” and turned her head to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu looked away, concern in her voice, “Will you be busy this weekend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re too busy, we can catch crayfish some other time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not busy. My Saturday’s free; I’m only going to my uncle’s for dinner on Sunday,” Jiang Ning assured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Ning’s response, Geng Lu breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled about the relationship between Shen Qing’e and Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their conversation, it seemed like they planned to go to the uncle’s house together for the meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu inquired, “You two went to the same school before, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, we were together from elementary school through middle school,” Jiang Ning confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Lu hesitated for a moment before continuing, “But you two seem to hardly talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been curious. Logically, coming from the same place, they should be close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, throughout the term, Geng Lu hardly saw Jiang Ning and Shen Qing’e talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be something fishy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning calmly said, “Because I don’t really have anything to say to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning that their relationship was just average, Geng Lu suddenly felt happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward, resting her hands on the desk, her chest creating an alluring curve. Her face had gentle lines:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let me keep you company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening self-study ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu dashed to the back row, “Brother Jun, Brother Jun, let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun was equally excited, “Let’s hit the road!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong was puzzled, “What are you guys up to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun gave a mysterious smile, “Looking for materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight he would teach Cui Yu a magic trick to glorify one of his own ‘insect arts.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1556,"2026-05-30T14:39:42.569Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","a774fb0b813cc38b214aa8dd3e51cf74cf8f1551eb6aec5f17ecde9989733797","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-438","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-436",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
