Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 608 - 384: Likes Walking Backwards

Tuesday morning, during the long break.

Wang Longlong, Ma Shicheng, Guo Kunnan, Hu Jun, and the others were eating in the cafeteria.

In the hall, with its ceiling seven or eight meters high, fans whirred, sending bursts of cool air that dispersed the heat.

Beside the long table, Ma Shicheng’s hair fluttered in the breeze as he twirled his meal card, which could no longer be used in the future.

In the coming days, the Fourth Middle School Cafeteria would implement an eight-person table system and would no longer sell meals individually. If one wanted to eat in the cafeteria, they had to be part of this new system.

Wang Longlong took a couple of sips of oily tea and sighed, "We won’t be able to drink oily tea like this anymore."

Cui Yu announced, "A new era is upon us!"

Guo Kunnan excitedly proclaimed, "The era of the big dining table is here!"

Their words instantly dispelled the nostalgic atmosphere.

Guo Kunnan pointed at the students queuing up to pay, "It looks like a lot of students are participating in the small table arrangement!"

He ignored the boys queuing at the counter, focusing instead on the pretty girls, thinking about the possible future of dining together, and filled Guo Kunnan’s life with hope.

He envisioned, "Brother Quan, not just first-year students this time, but also second-year upperclasswomen."

Dan Kaiquan stated, "Both first and second years are participating."

Cui Yu wondered, "What about the third years?"

Wang Longlong replied, "The third years are busy with college entrance exams, they don’t have time."

Cui Yu corrected, "Brother Long, you don’t understand. I’m talking about the third-year repeaters. Some have to take the college entrance exams again, but some are already repeating."

Wang Longlong retorted, "The repeater classes haven’t even started yet."

While the two bickered, Guo Kunnan suddenly asked, "What do you think, how are the tables arranged? Can we all get seated together?"

Although his brotherly bonds were strong, given a choice, Guo Kunnan would still rather eat with pretty girls.

Brothers, after all, are meant to be sold out.

Wang Longlong put down his chopsticks and explained, "As far as I know, they arrange it first within the class. I heard that the school aims to prevent any shortage of food at a table, so they require an equal number of male and female students at each table."

Hearing this, Guo Kunnan almost couldn’t hold his chopsticks steady, and he thought to himself:

’Principal Yu, Director Yan, I was blind before, I will never curse you in my heart again.’

"What if it’s not sorted well inside the class, like some people left out?" Guo Kunnan asked further.

Wang Longlong answered, "Then they’d arrange it with students from neighboring classes, like us from Class 8 would be arranged with Class 7 and Class 9."

Guo Kunnan first thought back to Class 7 and instantly recalled the captivating scene of Tang Fu with her long legs leaping through the air in the long jump competition.

That leap, not only landed her in the sandpit but also in the hearts of countless boys at Fourth Middle School.

He also remembered another girl with long hair, neither too tall nor too short, neither too fat nor too skinny, with plain traditional looks but paradoxically pretty.

After all, as beautiful as the girls in his class were, Guo Kunnan felt girls from other classes were pretty attractive too.

After reviewing the standout girls in Class 7, Guo Kunnan pondered about Class 9 and asked his buddies, "By the way guys, are there any pretty girls in Class 9?"

Cui Yu replied, "Not really." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Comparatively, the overall attractiveness of the girls in Class 9 was not high.

Wang Longlong mentioned, "There’s one called Tan Meiling, she’s the prettiest in their class."

Cui Yu commented, "Her name sounds so plain, doesn’t seem pretty based on her name alone."

In the middle of the conversation, a pretty girl walked into the cafeteria.

She was all made up and fashionably dressed, her flashy body-hugging top slightly short, revealing a bit of her slender waist, and her wide-legged denim shorts were belted, the silver loop clearly visible.

Wang Longlong identified her, "That’s Tan Meiling from Class 9."

Guo Kunnan exclaimed, "Damn, she’s beautiful. How come I never noticed her before?"

Dan Kaiquan, not fond of such attire and skeptical about her character, remarked, "Give up, Brother Nan, she looks too wild for you to handle."

Cui Yu laughed, "Hilarious, as if Brother Nan could handle even the not-so-wild ones!"

Guo Kunnan’s face darkened even more.

He then proposed a feasible question, "You guys think the order of payment affects the chances of being assigned to a dining table together?"

Wang Longlong pondered, "I think it might."

With that ambiguous response, Guo Kunnan quickly finished his doughnut in a couple of bites and gulped down the rest of his oily tea, "Guys, I’m off to pay, wait for me."

Saying so, Guo Kunnan with a mischievous heart but no guts, followed Tan Meiling.

From a distance, he dared to glance at her waist, but as he approached closer, he acted all noble and upright.

The remaining group, including Cui Yu, were speechless, finding it ridiculously sleazy!

After a while, Guo Kunnan finished paying and wobbly returned while Dan Kaiquan and the others had finished eating.

"Brothers, let’s head back!" he called out.

Dan Kaiquan and Cui Yu followed him. After Tan Meiling finished paying, she also started walking back. They were all students from Building 3, so it was the same route.

The guys walked alongside Tan Meiling, Ma Shicheng playing with his phone, Wang Longlong keeping a lookout to evade the school guards.

Dan Kaiquan, with a serious look, occasionally glanced at the sleazy yet serious Guo Kunnan and the shameless Cui Yu, resignedly smiling and shaking his head, unwilling to associate further.

Guo Kunnan and Cui Yu, walking down the road, sneakily ogled at Tan Meiling’s slender waist.

As a beautiful girl, Tan Meiling had long noticed others looking at her; during her trip to make the payment, she caught the eyes of many boys watching her – if not a hundred, at least fifty.

Such attention, something many ordinary guys couldn’t experience in a lifetime, was commonplace for Tan Meiling, and she relished it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t deliberately show off her waist, knowing full well the pressures of wearing such clothes in high school.
