Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 626 - 392: The Girl with Many Tricks_2

Guo Kunnan: "This water cushion looks really nice."

Lu Qiqi, with a touch of pride: "This is a big brand water cushion, costs several dozens, not something cheap goods can compare with."

Cui Yu: "Wow, is it LV or Louis Vuitton?"

Lu Qiqi got so angry that her facial features distorted.

...

After school in the evening.

"Brother Nan, Brother Jun, let’s go out to eat," Dan Kaiquan called out.

The cafeteria served three meals a day, but as high school students were in their growing phase, especially the boys, three meals probably weren’t enough. If they didn’t eat something after evening self-study, their stomachs would be uncomfortable at night.

The three of them took advantage of the street lights, and together with other freshmen, left the campus.

The dim light stretched their shadows long, Guo Kunnan suddenly said, "Today was the college entrance exam, right?"

Dan Kaiquan: "It’s the 8th today, the college exam just ended."

Guo Kunnan: "It will be our turn in two years."

"I wonder what I’ll be like then," he said as he gazed toward the small solar lamps in the little garden. His eyesight was quite good; he saw the light attracting a bunch of flying mosquitoes.

Hu Jun: "Why is Brother Nan suddenly contemplating the future?"

Dan Kaiquan: "It’s too early for that, and to think our school wasn’t even an exam venue."

Hu Jun: "Longlong was saying this evening that our school usually isn’t used for the college entrance exam, but it will be used for middle school exams."

While talking and walking, they reached outside. Dan Kaiquan bought a residue cake, and Hu Jun bought a sauce aroma cake from the Miao family.

As for Guo Kunnan, he wanted something sweet.

After the other two finished shopping, they went together to the supermarket to buy drinks; he wanted condensed milk bread.

Hu Jun, returning with the cake, asked, "Not going to Yucai Supermarket?"

Guo Kunnan: "No, saw Wei Xiu Yuan, that bastard, chasing Dong Jiayi again today, it’s annoying. Won’t buy from them anymore."

Hu Jun was speechless; Guo Kunnan and Dan Kaiquan had said this countless times.

After some time, they started patronizing the enemy again.

Outside Fourth Middle School’s gate, the most popular small shop belonged to Yucai; other stores had less business comparatively.

Guo Kunnan chose a small shop run by a man in his fifties. He picked out a condensed milk bread, ordered a roasted sausage, and also wanted a chilled Sprite.

Upon leaving, Guo Kunnan noticed the label on the bread was crooked and looked closely—only to see the production date blatantly stating June 9th, 2014.

Guo Kunnan felt dizzy, "Damn, isn’t today June 8th?"

"Come on, you guys check this out, something’s not right here," he showed it to the two.

Hu Jun cursed: "Definitely a rip-off, let’s find him."

Dan Kaiquan was equally displeased.

Guo Kunnan took a few steps back, found the shop owner, "Boss, the production date is set in the future."

The middle-aged man took it and looked, realized something was wrong, and said ashamedly, "Wait, I’ll exchange it for you."

Saying this, he went back, fetched another of the same bread, "Here."

Guo Kunnan, after looking it over, saw it was dated June 8th, that is, today. He said, "This one’s fresh, just made. Thanks a lot."

After exchanging the bread, Guo Kunnan walked out lovesick. He told the two, "The owner’s a good guy, didn’t try to cheat."

Hearing his words, Dan Kaiquan furrowed his brows, feeling something was amiss?

...

Night, river dam.

After taking a bath, Xue Yuantong sneakily took two ice pops, but was caught by her mom.

In a dire situation, Xue Yuantong lied, using Jiang Ning as a shield, claiming she took them to give to him.

Aunt Gu knew exactly what her daughter was up to, decisively she followed Tongtong over to the next door, forcing Tongtong to watch Jiang Ning eat both ice pops.

After Aunt Gu left, Xue Yuantong pouted,

"Jiang Ning, why didn’t you save some for me?"

Jiang Ning leaned on the couch, legs crossed, "There was nothing I could do."

Knowing she was at fault, Xue Yuantong couldn’t really bother Jiang Ning. She still really wanted an ice pop, but alas, her mom had noted the number of ice pops, and if she dared to secretly eat one, it would be over.

No other choice, she could only sit on the chair, helping Jiang Ning practice on the computer.

Jiang Ning said, "I’ll give you an account to play with, it’s only at ’Silver’ rank."

Xue Yuantong immediately agreed, she loved owning newbies the most.

Jiang Ning was very satisfied. This was Jiang Junlong’s account, which had previously reached the "Diamond" rank, but Jiang Junlong wasn’t skilled enough and fell back down, so he begged his cousin again to find someone to play in his place, offering several hundred yuan.

Xue Yuantong battled in the game while Jiang Ning leisurely browsed QQ.

Lu Qiqi posted a new update, showing off food, gifts, and bubble tea:

"After getting together, I never tied my shoelaces myself,

never twisted open a bottle cap myself,

never washed fruits myself..."

The post wasn’t out long before it gathered fifty or sixty likes, even from classmates like Tan Meiling and Lu Yaya, proving her wide connections.

Yu Wen: "The kind of love I aspire to."

Jiang Yanan: "May all who you meet in the future be good people."

Lu Qiqi replied to everyone: "Thanks, everyone, for the blessings. I hope all my sisters find boyfriends by this standard."

Guo Kunnan’s comment was quite positive: "Enlightening!"

Ma Shicheng: "What, did he play you till you’re disabled?"

...

Jiang Ning chuckled knowingly and continued scrolling.

Just then, Geng Lu messaged: "What are you up to, Jiang Ning?"

"Playing on my phone."

In an urban apartment bedroom, the air conditioner hummed softly in the background.

Having finished yoga not long before and fresh from a shower, Geng Lu sat at her desk in a light, sleeveless summer nightgown, her skin faintly blushing.

Happy to get a reply from Jiang Ning, Geng Lu always found a reason to chat with him every night.

"What are you playing? Did you see Ma Shicheng’s comment? Lu Qiqi must be furious," Geng Lu replied with a laugh. As they chatted, she pulled out a White Jade Bear from her desk and gently pressed on it with her fingers.

Sometimes, she would get up and lightly walk around the room, where there was a mirror. Standing before it, she noticed her newly bought nightgown looked rather nice and thought about sending a photo to Jiang Ning.

’But, would it be inappropriate?’ Geng Lu thought she should be more reserved.

’It’d be better if he asked for it intentionally.’ She felt a pang of longing.

Sitting on the edge of her bed, her eyes reflected the image of the girl in the mirror when suddenly, an excellent idea struck her.

She tapped on her phone screen: "Jiang Ning, my computer seems to be broken, it won’t turn on when I press the power button."

After receiving her message, Jiang Ning paused; he knew a bit about computers but rarely helped, unwilling to act like free tech support.

But since Geng Lu was his desk mate and they were on good terms, he replied, "Completely no response? Look closely, is there any light on?"

Geng Lu: "Completely none."

Jiang Ning guessed: "Check if it’s plugged in."

Geng Lu instantly replied: "It is."

"That must be a problem with the power supply, which is a bit troublesome, you should take it to the shop for repair tomorrow. You might need a new power supply," Jiang Ning replied, assuming that if there was completely no response, it was likely a power issue.

Seeing her plan nearing completion, Geng Lu, unwilling to let it end there since her goal wasn’t achieved yet, made up a lie: "I looked carefully, there’s a light on."

Jiang Ning: "Which light?"

"I, I can’t understand."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment: "Send me a couple of pictures."

He straightened up a bit, intending to analyze the computer issue for Geng Lu.

Meanwhile, Geng Lu, smiling with mischief, knew Jiang Ning usually kept a cool facade but had fallen for her trick.

With an excuse in hand, she stood before the mirror, took a revealing full-body shot, and sent it.

Jiang Ning paused for a moment when he received the photo.

The school look was different; usually, Geng Lu wore baggy and modest clothes, though her figure could still be guessed, but now it was different.

In the photo, Geng Lu was in a simple sleeveless thin dress, showing Jiang Ning the power of a teenage girl’s figure.

Wrapped in a light pink thin dress, the soft and slender waist drew a perfect curve downward to round, full hips.

Her development was incredibly ahead...

Jiang Ning glanced discreetly at Tongtong, engrossed in his game, and replied without a change in expression: "I asked you for a photo of your computer. Why did you send this?"
