Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Gao Heshuai roared, "Shut up!"

Following the sound, he couldn't find who was laughing, so Gao Heshuai taunted everyone, "Anyone who causes chaos in my class, get to the back! If you don't want to attend my class, get out!"

His powerful reprimand echoed throughout Class 8.

While the classmates were silent, Wu Xiaoqi picked up a basketball, chest out and head held high:

"Fine, I'll leave."

He walked from the back of the classroom to the front door, and right under Gao Heshuai's nose, ran out to play basketball.

Cao Kun, who was confused about the situation, looked at Wu Xiaoqi in disbelief, thinking, who is this guy, utterly reckless!

Gao Heshuai was nearly going insane, but Director Yan had told him privately that Wu Xiaoqi's parents were involved in educational materials and had connections with many schools.

Having no outlet for his anger, Gao Heshuai could only shout at Chai Wei at the back of the classroom, "Don't lean on the blackboard, stand straight!"

Chai Wei remained silent.

"Alright, let's continue with the class!"

...

Putting aside his character, Gao Heshuai's teaching level was indeed commendable:

"If the right side of the inequality isn't zero, we first move terms, then simplify by common denominator..."

He wrote quite neatly with chalk, quickly posing a rational inequality on the blackboard.

"Using the techniques I just taught, I'll ask one of you to come up and solve it. If you can't, stand by the blackboard until you get it."

Upon hearing this, many distracted students instantly focused, glancing at the blackboard, fearing they'd be called.

After all, being unable to solve it and standing by the front blackboard is quite embarrassing, much more than at the back.

High schoolers are sensitive about face; how could they endure such treatment?

A minute later, Gao Heshuai's gaze swept across and finally settled on someone.

He glanced at the new seating chart on the lectern and called out, "Meng Ziyun, you come up."

Meng Ziyun shivered, damn, why is today so unlucky?

Forcing herself, she stepped onto the podium.

All eyes in the class were on her, and Guo Kunnan gazed at Meng Ziyun's fair and clean face, large and bright eyes, and delicate eyelashes, unable to control himself.

At this moment, his Dao Heart Grinding Plate turned, diverting his view to Xin Youling in front of him, her long black hair cascading like a black waterfall.

'I really want to touch her hair...'

Guo Kunnan's heart switched its allegiance once again to Xin Youling.

As expected, Meng Ziyun couldn't solve the problem.

Gao Heshuai said, "Alright, stand by the blackboard!"

Hearing this, Meng Ziyun turned back in panic. Her face paled from his words; perhaps agitated, even her hair became a bit disheveled.

She smoothed her hair, her face turning patches of blush, perfectly embodying that youthful feeling.

Cui Yu's desk mate, Meng Gui had his hair stiffened; the movie he watched yesterday, the female lead kept smoothing her hair too.

Dan Kaiquan commented blandly, "Not bad looking."

'But compared to Bai Yuxia, still falls short.' Dan Kaiquan added in his heart.

He looked back at Chai Wei, who now seemed struck, listless.

Dan Kaiquan thought, 'You're not worthy of my woman!'

Wang Longlong heard Kaiquan's praise and whispered, "Brother Quan, don't be fooled by her looks, Meng Ziyun was troublesome in primary school!"

With Meng Ziyun being tormented by Gao Heshuai, Wang Longlong felt secretly delighted, even wishing Gao Heshuai would be harsher.

Wang Longlong watched with a bystander's pleasure, yet some couldn't sit still.

Cao Kun and Meng Ziyun had entered Class 8 together, and he had already sensed the crisis this morning, now growing even more anxious.

If this goes on, the points in front of Meng Ziyun would all be lost, he must regain them!

Cao Kun's head heated, he suddenly raised his hand, "Mr. Gao, let me!"

Gao Heshuai said, "Alright."

Today, to stop the surging tide and save the collapsing building!

Cao Kun, full of unparalleled ambition, stepped up to the podium one step at a time!

Two minutes later.

Cao Kun stood beside Meng Ziyun, punished at the blackboard.

There was no helping it, although Cao Kun was in a hurry, he still couldn't solve the inequality.

The classmates snickered, while Meng Ziyun was heartbroken.

At this moment, Dong Qingfeng put on an elegant smile and raised his hand politely.

Cao Kun was in agony, screaming internally: 'Nima, I'm begging you, stop talking!'

...

At noon.

Sister Chen Siqing and Bai Yuxia returned to the classroom. She instinctively sat at Bai Yuxia's desk, then realized: "Ah, this isn't my sister's seat anymore?"

Bai Yuxia nodded slightly: "Hmm, it's Chai Wei now."

Chen Siqing, upon realizing, gritted her teeth: "Damn, next time my sister and I will join forces, we must get it back!"

The sullen Chen Siqing went to Jiang Ning's seat at the back and sat down, feeling bored.

The ceiling fan was spinning with a whirring sound, dispelling the hot summer air, and Chen Siqing endured the heat.

She suddenly thought of those students outside doing military training, and her mood lifted slightly.

Soon enough, the gloomy Chai Wei arrived, not even greeting Bai Yuxia.

Bai Yuxia didn't mind, she had encountered many peculiar desk mates, from those good at acting, to show-offs, to those who pretended to be cool, and even those who were hot and cold.

Although Bai Yuxia was young, she had a lot of experience and understood boys of her age well.

Jiang Ning followed Xue Yuantong into Class 8, Xue Yuantong said: "So hot, so hot, so hot, Jiang Ning, quickly take it out and cool me down!"

Jiang Ning activated the array: "Are you sure you're still hot?"

Xue Yuantong: "I'm hot inside."

Chen Siqing was messaging her sister: "Sister, why are you so helpless? We lost the seat."

Sister: "Sister, you're being unreasonable. Clearly, we were together."

Chen Siqing: "Okay, it's my fault."

In Class 10, Chen Siyu, eating her sister's jelly, felt embarrassed: "Sister, I have to apologize too, I ate your jelly."

Chen Siqing was so angry.

Under Xue Yuantong's urging, Jiang Ning took out a rectangular glass box, which was filled with numerous fruits as white as jade.

Xue Yuantong shouted: "Yuxia, Yuxia, come eat bayberries!"

Bai Yuxia turned, seeing these bayberries were different from the red-purple ones she usually encountered, she couldn't help but be curious:

"Crystal bayberry?"

Xue Yuantong immediately thought she was amazing, being able to recognize the type of bayberry, while when she first encountered them, all she knew was to eat.

"Is there still crystal bayberry in September?" Bai Yuxia wondered.

Jiang Ning: "Late-ripening."

He actually cultivated them on Hu Qi Mountain.

Jiang Ning took out paper cups and filled a few large crystal bayberries for Bai Yuxia.

The fruits were a whole size bigger than a ping-pong ball, and even without eating, you knew how satisfying they would be.

Bai Yuxia took a modest bite, the icy sensation and the soft, delicate flesh with intermingling sweetness and sourness created a symphony of flavors, leaving an endless aftertaste.

The drowsiness of the summer afternoon dissipated instantly, and even the mind cleared up.

She looked down again, greeted by bright pink fruit flesh, and couldn't help but take a bite eagerly.

In the sweltering heat of summer, having such cool bayberries was an extraordinary treat.

Xue Yuantong didn't savor them like Bai Yuxia; she devoured them.

Jiang Ning turned and gave Geng Lu a cup, then handed one to Chen Siqing as well.

Chen Siqing quickly finished a few, feeling countless emotions.

Just then, Jiang Ning handed over another cup, with a few bayberries conspicuously inside.

Chen Siqing was initially delighted, then hesitant: "Isn't it a bit much?"

Jiang Ning, seeing through it but not saying, remarked, "For your sister."

Chen Siqing held the cup carefully, saying earnestly: "Rest assured, I'll definitely save some for her!"

She stopped hesitating and walked out of the classroom.

Chen Siyu messaged: "Sister, are you mad? I know I was wrong!"

Chen Siqing: "It's okay, you're my sister, even if you make a thousand mistakes, I'll still forgive you!"

Chen Siyu from Class 10 was very touched, they were twins, the closest people in the world!

Feeling touched, she continued to eat the jelly her sister had saved up.

Chen Siqing tasted one of her sister's bayberries and replied: "So, you have to give me a thousand chances to mess up too."
