Hu Jun opened his eyes in confusion, “Brother Nan, why are you getting up so early?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan said solemnly, “I’m going to the classroom to study!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan perked up, “What you do in April and May, you’ll see the results in July and August!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jun, “?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan washed his face, brushed his teeth, and headed straight to the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The campus was unusually quiet in the early morning, and Guo Kunnan walked on the flower-and-grass-filled path, greedily taking a breath and enjoying the empty school grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan gazed toward the sunrise in the east, reflecting on his past life—a life of mediocrity, without ever living in the glory of flowers and applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always the shadows of those more successful, he remained below the stage clapping, a mere backdrop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, there was an exam, and he wanted good grades; he wanted to ascend the speech platform to receive awards and enjoy the gazes of all the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of his good brother, Dan Kaiquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Kaiquan’s rapid improvement, earning him a spot in the top ten of the competitive class 8, was because he worked hard, not only studying at school but also at night in the dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan decided to work even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Kaiquan could do, he could do too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan really liked a phrase, “Without trying, you’ll never know how amazing your potential is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived at class 8’s door early, only to find that the classroom wasn’t open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two keys to class 8, one with the class president, and the other with a hard-working but unnoticed girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan had come too early and forgot about this fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do I do now?” Guo Kunnan stood at the door, utterly lost, his textbooks still inside the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shi Qianjin from class 9 came up the stairs swinging his keys. The two classes were close, and the dorms were not far apart, so Guo Kunnan had a decent relationship with Yan Tianpeng and could usually exchange a few words with Shi Qianjin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kun Nan, up so early?” Shi Qianjin greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan, “Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Shi Qianjin’s grades were not bad and that he worked hard, to the point of wearing glasses from overstudying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Guo Kunnan and he were in the same boat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except, at this moment, Guo Kunnan was at a loss standing in front of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin opened his classroom door as usual and saw Guo Kunnan still at the door, “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot the key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter through the window.” Shi Qianjin suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan’s mind clicked; he had been too rigid in his thinking, almost forgetting about the window!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan aimed for a window, which was already open. He backed up a couple of steps, and with a push and kick, he leaped into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fancied himself like a muscular athlete, elegantly and coolly diving into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” There was a loud noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan’s head hit the glass, his flying body shook fiercely, then he bounced back and “plop” fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dazed by the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the ground, Guo Kunnan held his head and moaned in pain, not getting up for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!” Shi Qianjin doubled over in laughter, finding it ridiculously funny, having never seen someone so foolish before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kun Nan, are you blind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan’s head was buzzing, nearly concussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and finally realized that the window was actually closed, but because the glass was so clean, he had been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell cleaned the glass so well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably Huang Yuzhu—the one most conscientious about chores in the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boys’ dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still half-asleep, Hu Jun heard some noise at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes, “Brother Nan, weren’t you going to study?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Kunnan, clutching the lump on his head, replied in a bad mood, “The feng shui’s off today, not a day for studying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the exam approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to class 8 opened, and Cui Yu entered with boundless confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His photo search and question-answering app was ready to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he would show his classmates what high technology was all about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like bringing a gun to a knife fight, it would be a crushing victory. Dong Qingfeng, Chen Qian, and the rest were nothing but stepping stones for him, Cui Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Yu happily activated the search app, only to find out there was no internet connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then realized that during the exams, Fourth Middle School turned on signal jammers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of Cui Yu’s hopes shattered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Director Wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the desperate Cui Yu, Shi Qianjin from class 9 was dying of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he thought of Guo Kunnan’s brilliant move, his face twisted in mirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here come my bros.” Shi Qianjin laughed as he greeted Yan Tianpeng, Shen Xu, and Shen Xinli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Shi, did you find money? You’re grinning as if you struck it rich,” Shen Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin described, “Hahaha, I came to study early this morning and saw Kun Nan from the class next door trying to climb in through a window, and he hit his head on the glass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s so dumb?” Shen Xu asked, amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin, “I swear by my life, it’s true. Come with me to class 8, and you’ll see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, upon reaching class 8 with the group, they saw that Guo Kunnan had a big lump on his forehead and sat at his desk looking miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin couldn’t stop laughing, finding it funnier the more he thought about it. His brothers, however, didn’t react as strongly, their smiles only slight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn’t do; he had to convey the essence of the comedy to them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qianjin stood outside on the balcony of class 8, pointing to the window, very seriously, “He did it like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allow me to demonstrate for you all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shi Qianjin took a running start, vaulting into the air, and with the force of a cannonball, he struck the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire window shattered under Shi Qianjin’s impact, glass shards scattering everywhere. Shi Qianjin plunged to the classroom’s cement floor, akin to a defeated villain in a fight scene on television.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-05-30T14:39:59.406Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","065b076e829785322e45b71446fedbbce16b6a5133e5091b95d36c8e09917d97","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-541","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-539",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
