Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

"No."

Xue Yuantong: "Go take a look."

Jiang Ning: "No, you can hear fireworks."

Xue Yuantong: "...It's far away."

"If it's far away, how can you see fireworks?" Jiang Ning retorted.

Xue Yuantong: "I..."

She was about to make an excuse when Jiang Ning secretly used his Spiritual Power, making the sound of running water "shush shush" next door.

He deliberately listened: "Did you hear that? Your solar water heater seems to have finished filling up, but it looks like you forgot to turn it off and it's starting to leak."

Xue Yuantong listened carefully, and it was actually true!

Being a good housekeeper, she jumped up in shock and sprinted to her house, but then, the strange noise was gone.

The solar heater was perfectly fine.

Xue Yuantong came back feeling puzzled, and Jiang Ning, who was lying on the sofa resting, lazily waved his hand:

"Could you pour me a glass of water while you're at it?"

"Um." Xue Yuantong found it very strange; she always felt something was off.

...

September 1st.

Xue Yuantong got up very early to make breakfast for Jiang Ning, but then, smelling the aroma of food from Chuchu's house, she realized that Chuchu had taken over the breakfast duties.

Xue Yuantong felt inexplicably melancholic. She put down the spoon in bewilderment and went to have breakfast at Chuchu's house.

In Chuchu's kitchen, she saw Jiang Ning who had been waiting there.

Xue Yuantong pouted.

After eating, she helped wash the pots and dishes and then rode Jiang Ning's electric scooter to school.

New semester, new atmosphere.

Classroom of class 8.

Liu Chuandao was carrying two breakfasts and found Duan Shigang.

Duan Shigang was overwhelmed with favor. After their teamwork in last night's self-study session, he didn't expect today: "Chuan Dao... you?"

Liu Chuandao responded seriously: "I've decided to pursue Jiang Yanan, so I specially bought breakfast for her today."

Duan Shigang: 'Damn!'

Trying to steal my girl?

You should know, he had been eyeing Jiang Yanan since last semester and even gave her heart-shaped cookies that he bit out himself.

Now, Liu Chuandao was actually going after the same girl!

Unbearable!

He wanted to sternly rebuke Liu Chuandao but then reconsidered; since his own progress was stalled, why not let Liu Chuandao give it a try first?

Duan Shigang, having played the big brother role for many years, was quite magnanimous, he analyzed:

"I know Jiang Yanan, she's quite fair-skinned and tall, but her eyes are a bit small."

Duan Shigang recalled her appearance, a girl quite suitable to be a girlfriend, otherwise, he wouldn't have made a move.

Liu Chuandao: "Fair skin is enough. Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, and she has a clean and nice face."

"Bro, once I win her over, I'll share the details with you." Liu Chuandao said with a dirty grin, already fantasizing about the scenario.

Duan Shigang was at a loss for words, he just thought his buddy was acting strange, but being the big brother, he was broad-minded enough to tolerate anyone.

He patted Liu Chuandao on the shoulder, encouraging him: "You can do it."

Liu Chuandao: "Just watch how I use my breakfast delivery method, and you'll learn what real technique is!"

Pursuing a girl requires perseverance; one day, you might move her heart.

Just then, Jiang Yanan along with Yu Wen and Shen Qing'e entered through the front door.

Liu Chuandao adjusted his outfit, his pancake-like face smiling as Jiang Yanan took her seat.

He stepped forward, and under Jiang Yanan's surprised gaze, presented the breakfast: "I bought breakfast for you, eat up."

Jiang Yanan was stunned.

As a girl with outstanding looks, she had received many breakfasts from male classmates since childhood, but a male classmate as ugly as Liu Chuandao was a first for her.

"Sorry, I don't need it." Jiang Yanan declined.

Liu Chuandao didn't give up and continued, "I've already bought it, if you don't eat it, I'll have to throw it away."

Yu Wen made an excuse for her good friend, "Don't throw it away, give it to Zhang Chi from our class, he'll definitely eat it."

Liu Chuandao thought to himself, 'Damn it, who the hell is Zhang Chi?'

He kept a straight face and persisted, "I specifically bought breakfast for you, just eat it!"

"No, no need." Jiang Yanan really didn't want to eat it, she didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Cao Kun, who arrived early, watched the scene with interest.

Beside him, Meng Zi Yun was eating the breakfast he bought.

Compared to Liu Chuandao's forced offering, Cao Kun felt superior, especially since, in terms of looks, Meng Zi Yun was definitely the prettier one.

"Does it suit your taste?" Cao Kun asked.

Meng Zi Yun replied, "It's pretty good."

Cao Kun smiled, feeling pleased with himself.

Just as Jiang Yanan was declining, Dong Qingfeng appeared at the classroom door carrying several bags of breakfast.

He walked up in a few steps and asked, "Yanan, what's going on?"

Yu Wen said, "He bought breakfast for Yanan."

Dong Qingfeng was momentarily surprised, then he looked directly at Liu Chuandao, feeling a competitive spirit!

Finally, after a whole year, he finally had a rival!

Offering breakfast to girls was not awkward, the key was, whose breakfast was prepared with more sincerity.

He glanced at the breakfast in Liu Chuandao's hand. Hmm, meat buns bought at the school gate; the buns from that shop were too salty, the texture was terrible, hard to swallow, basically garbage that Dong Qingfeng would throw away after two bites.

As for the millet porridge in Liu Chuandao's hand, Dong Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh. In this day and age, still using plastic cups? The hot millet porridge almost melted the plastic cup, it was so unhealthy.

He couldn't help but sneer aloud. Liu Chuandao glared at him, "What do you mean?"

Dong Qingfeng proudly put down his bag, first taking out a paper box. He gently opened it, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Before their eyes appeared four sizzling pan-fried baozi, topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and juice.

He explained, "These are the famous Ai Hui pan-fried baozi from Yuzhou. Their baozi are popular because they've maintained tradition for thirty years, thirty years unchanged. Look at how thin the skin is."

He then used chopsticks to poke and knock on them, "The bottom is so crispy that when you bite it, the meat juice bursts in your mouth, who can resist that taste?"

After introducing the pan-fried baozi, Dong Qingfeng showcased the fresh milk he acquired by pulling some strings from an official unit's allotment produced this morning.

Next up, there's the fried dough sticks with KFC quality. But what he bought were mochi dough sticks, crispy fried dough sticks paired with soft and glutinous mochi, sprinkled with small toppings, simply aromatic.

Liu Chuandao clenched his fists.

Meng Zi Yun stopped eating her half-finished breakfast and quietly listened.

Cao Kun felt a sense of panic, for some reason there was an inexplicable sense of crisis.

He had never experienced this in his former Class 5.

Then, Dong Qingfeng opened another bag, which contained oolong tea eggs, as the name implied, tea eggs cooked with oolong tea, having a natural floral scent, resulting in a rich and mellow taste.

Under the gaze of several people, Dong Qingfeng said, "These are the main courses. Now for the side dishes, beef and peanut sunflower seed sauce. The distinct pieces of beef not only look good, but also taste fantastic, spicy and savory, the sauce aroma fills the air, take a sniff."

"Many companies want to buy the recipe from the owner, but they just won't sell it!"

"And finally, let's have some fruit, a balance of meat and vegetables, nutritious and healthy!"

"Apple bananas, small and unlike regular bananas, with a smooth texture, much firmer flesh, a sweet and sour taste, also having beauty-enhancing effects!"

Finally, Dong Qingfeng finished introducing the breakfast he brought and gave Shen Qing'e, Jiang Yanan, and Yu Wen each a portion.

He then calmly looked at Liu Chuandao.

At this time, the breakfast in Liu Chuandao's hand had disappeared, he hid it behind him, not daring to show it.

By comparison, it simply couldn't compete!

Liu Chuandao's face turned awkward, at this moment, he experienced what it felt like to be defeated in seconds.

After distributing the breakfast, Dong Qingfeng still had two portions left in his hand, he picked up one.

Cao Kun's eyelid twitched, his heart rate increased slightly.

Following Dong Qingfeng's gaze, he glimpsed at Meng Zi Yun beside him.

The once arrogant and confident Cao Kun panicked, silently praying, 'Geez, don't come over here!'

Dong Qingfeng smiled brightly, his looks weren't bad to begin with, his family's affluent conditions meant he never worried about material things, exuding a natural charisma in his every move.

Facing the girls, Dong Qingfeng displayed perfect gentlemanly etiquette, "Classmate Meng Zi Yun, could you spare two minutes to help me try the breakfast?"
