Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 616 - 388 A Flaw

Xue Yuantong skipped over the rope without tripping, which slightly surprised Chen Siyu and the others.

After all, they all witnessed Tongtong’s physical fitness.

Bai Yuxia looked towards Xue Yuantong on the other side of the rope and said, "I guess she got the practice from riding a bike."

She had seen several times how Xue Yuantong had jumped right onto the back seat of Jiang Ning’s bicycle.

After Xue Yuantong had jumped over, she waited proudly on the other side, smiling gleefully.

With a long stride of her slender legs, Tang Fu crossed over as if it was nothing.

The radiant smile on Xue Yuantong’s little face suddenly vanished.

...

After finishing breakfast and with 20 minutes left before class, many students who ate in the cafeteria gathered together to chat.

They talked about the cafeteria’s breakfast, the people at their table, and the midday meals.

While talking to Yu Wen, Lu Qiqi pulled out a tissue and wiped the water droplets off her lunchbox, complaining, "Ugh, there were so many people at the sink, and I hadn’t even shaken it dry when the guy behind me started rushing me."

After eating, there was a queue to wash dishes, and some faucets had very weak water flow.

Yu Wen said, "Indeed, Qing E was the one who let me go ahead."

While speaking, Meng Gui passed by from behind and asked, "Hey, your lunchbox looks pretty nice. Where’d you buy it?"

The lunchbox was made of white ceramic material, rectangular, and looked quite nice on the outside, infinitely better looking than the iron pots they had bought.

Bought it on Taobao, 39 yuan," Lu Qiqi said with a hint of bragging.

A few boys nearby heard this and gasped in surprise; 39 yuan for a lunchbox was definitely considered expensive.

Zhang Chi said, "With that money, you might as well buy more food instead; why waste it on something like this?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

Lu Qiqi glanced at her manicure, "My boyfriend gave it to me."

Zhang Chi stopped talking.

Seeing the reaction of the nearby students, Lu Qiqi was very pleased, and unknowingly, felt a slight sense of superiority, basking in her boyfriend’s pampering.

Meng Gui was unfazed; although 39 yuan was a substantial sum, he was not short of 39 yuan.

He said, "Lu Qiqi, send me the link to your lunchbox on QQ later, I’ll keep it to buy one for my girlfriend."

Lu Qiqi retorted, "Why keep it for later? If you really want to buy it for her, just buy it now.

"We girls hate it when you guys talk about buying things later. Meng Gui, I suggest you don’t delay. If you really like her, you shouldn’t wait."

Meng Gui fell silent for a few seconds and then said, "Because I don’t have a girlfriend right now."

Lu Qiqi: ’...So I’ve been going on and on for nothing.’

Beside them, Wang Longlong stifled a laugh and remained silent.

Fortunately for Lu Qiqi, she had plenty of experience dealing with this from spending a lot of time with Yu Wen, and quickly regained her composure.

Jiang Yanan sighed, "Your partner’s been really nice to you since you got back together, huh?"

Yu Wen replied, "Maybe he only realized your importance after leaving you."

Lu Qiqi said, "It’s the gain after losing that teaches you to cherish. He used to be so hesitant and stingy when buying anything, but now, he does whatever I ask of him. I’m planning on having Japanese food this week."

Hearing about Japanese food, Yu Wen became interested, "I heard Japanese food is particularly expensive, costing several hundred for a meal."

Jiang Yanan said, "Last time my brother-in-law took my sister out for it, and without ordering any expensive dishes, it still cost them over 600 yuan."

These days, 600 yuan was a considerable sum. The phone Jiang Yanan was using, a Redmi 1S, only cost 699 yuan; spending so much on a single meal was frightening.

Wang Longlong, Ma Shicheng, and Guo Kunnan were playing with their phones and listening to the girls’ conversation.

Suddenly, Hu Jun spoke up, "Jiang Yanan, you have an older sister?"

Jiang Yanan was taken aback, "Yeah, she’s married."

Hu Jun’s expression became even more eager, "That’s good, marriage is good!"

Jiang Yanan was just confused.

Lu Qiqi said, "More than 600 isn’t expensive, you know. He’s nicer to me now, and if we get together in the future, I will definitely convince my parents for him, and he can save tens of thousands."

Lu Qiqi continued talking about her partner and some of their everyday expenses. Her words made Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan, who were from the countryside, secretly ashamed.

Their views on spending were challenged, and they deeply felt unworthy of a city girl like Lu Qiqi.

A sense of inferiority arose within them, and no one spoke, even though they usually looked down on those billionaires in their daily talk.

In her excitement, Lu Qiqi’s tales became more and more grandiose.

"You guys know about luxury goods, right?" Lu Qiqi said.

Seeing her friend continuously talking, Yu Wen felt underestimated and added, "When you mention luxury goods, I think of Lv handbags. My aunt has one, and she said it cost her more than ten thousand!"

Dan Xiao strolled over, listening in on the girls’ idle talk.

Jiang Yanan exclaimed, "So expensive, a bag for over ten thousand! Who can afford to carry it? The last time my mom saw a bag for one thousand yuan, she couldn’t bring herself to buy it in the end."

Lu Qiqi found herself in a bit of a knowledge gap, but she couldn’t lose face. To make herself appear cultured, she disparaged it by saying,

"Lv’s bag color matching is too old-fashioned, and the styles aren’t nice, not suitable for young women. I prefer Louis Vuitton."

Yu Wen looked surprised, "Qiqi, you know all this?"

Beside them, Dan Kaiquan thought she was quite trendy to even know about high-end luxury brands.

Guo Kunnan aspired, "If I ever have money, I’ll definitely consult with you before buying anything."

Lu Qiqi casually said, "Considering our old classmate relationship, I won’t charge you a consultancy fee."

Guo Kunnan laughed, "Haha, all right."

As Lu Qiqi was worshipped, she became even more uncontrollable, "After I graduate from high school, I’ll buy a Louis Vuitton and show you guys."

Dan Xiao’s lips twitched, pulling at the stiff muscles in his face. His rich knowledge base and that masterful perfectionist attitude made it impossible for him to tolerate such a low-level mistake.

While Lu Qiqi was basking in self-admiration, a comment drifted through the air from Dan Xiao, "Lv is Louis Vuitton; they’re the same brand."
