The outdoor tables set up in front of the store made eating barbecue a real treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially at the energetic and ravenous ages of fifteen or sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a school uniform, Pei Yujing carried a tray of skewers, 20 mutton skewers glistening with oil and liberally seasoned, irresistibly tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the skewers were placed on the table, the scent wafted straight into the nostrils, Guo Kun Nan couldn’t care less about the heat, he quickly took a bite. The tender, spicy taste swirled in his mouth, making him feel as if he was floating in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan then gulped down a cold pineapple beer, he exhaled deeply, “So satisfying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his phone, snapped a couple of photos of the barbecue on the table, and sent them to Xu Yan with a message, “Eating barbecue outdoors with good brothers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the previous sports meet, Xu Yan had told them not to contact each other anymore. Guo Kun Nan was heartbroken at the time, and wrote a thousand-word essay explaining his good intentions which made Xu Yan reluctantly not delete him from her contacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the pictures, Guo Kun Nan felt a sense of fulfillment; having someone to share life with was indeed fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Guo Kun Nan’s happiness, Dan Kaiquan had eaten two skewers and became emotionally struck, his voice slightly choked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She doesn’t even feel bad seeing me suffer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan comforted Kaiquan, sighing, “Man, it’s not a sin to cry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan mechanically ate the barbecue, the previously delicious food now tasted like wax, overwhelmed by a heart full of bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan took out his treasured alcohol and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drink, let the alcohol do the talking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured a plastic cup for Kaiquan himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan picked up the cup; he had never drunk baijiu before. The fiery, stinging sensation made him want to vomit, but compared to his pain, what was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Bai Yuxia, I’ll die to show you!’ Dan Kaiquan roared in his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thrill of self-destruction momentarily overwhelmed the burn of the alcohol, his forehead veins bulging as he downed a cup of baijiu in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others watched in shock, this was too badass, a tough guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan, “Brother Quan, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to do this, the world is vast with many opportunities; why fixate on one person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan shouted, “No, I only want her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yujing, who was serving skewers, paused; she recognized these students as Jiang Ning’s classmates. Unfortunately, Jiang Ning wasn’t there; otherwise, she would’ve given him a free meal to thank him for saving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three rounds of drinks, Dan Kaiquan, with alcohol numbing his mind, blurted out words he wouldn’t dare to say sober.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay down on the table, “Brother Nan, I still miss her, actually more than just a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan couldn’t bear to see his good brother degrade himself, he attempted to reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Quan, didn’t you say you wouldn’t like her anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan, “When it comes to giving up Bai Yuxia, I always contradict myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longlong, realizing the truth, shook his head, “Kaiquan, forget it, you have no chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan had another drink, “It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t have to give me a chance; after all, I still have a lifetime to waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kun Nan bit into a beef tendon, the owner’s skills were solid, the barbecue was crunchy and chewy, with an aftertaste that was long and addictive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke figuratively, “Brother Quan, forget it, liking her can’t fill your stomach anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan, “No, being liked by her can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how the others tried to persuade him, Dan Kaiquan had a retort for everything; his wit was on full display tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ma Shicheng couldn’t persuade him; he simply couldn’t outtalk him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Shicheng finally threw up his hands, “Just keep orbiting around her then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight there were few customers; Pei Yujing found a stool and listened to the guy named Kaiquan rave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her usually cold expression rarely showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day during morning self-study, Dan Kaiquan dragged his tired body to class. No matter how extraordinary the previous night had been, as long as the school was open, he had to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chi strutted proudly, picking his teeth as he walked toward the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning had just returned to his seat when the girl at the desk in front turned around to show him her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, look, our school’s peach tree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Ning looked at her phone, his Divine Sense instantly spread out, touching several peach trees within the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the peach trees stood a sign that read,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under surveillance, stealing peaches will be punished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peaches were indeed not stolen, but the fruits on the tree had been nibbled to the cores which were still attached to the branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Siyu was so shocked she couldn’t stop talking; she scrolled through the screen, showing Jiang Ning the comments on the post.\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-05-30T14:39:59.406Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","16ace8fa3f8930b0e184b4513c61d726ec5823e84d501af8071933f4f5939bc1","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-523","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-521",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
