Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 647 - 402: Passing the Film

Sunday afternoon.

Fourth Middle School Cafeteria dinner.

The small dining table plan was going well; after the last 200 yuan of meal plan money was used up, the school opened up registration again, and thanks to word of mouth, the number of students participating in the small dining table had increased.

Consequently, the lines for serving food became even longer.

At table 26, Huang Yuzhu put down the bread basket.

Wang Longlong, having gotten a steamed bun, complimented him, "Yu Zhu, your speed is unmatched. Our table is always the first to eat steamed buns."

"Hey, who brought the Lao Gan Ma?" he asked in confusion, as there was a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce on the table.

Not gonna lie, upon seeing the Lao Gan Ma, Wang Longlong really wanted to taste it; he hadn’t eaten it for several months.

Dan Kaiquan noted, "Brother Nan brought it."

Wang Longlong said, "Brother Nan’s not bad."

He took a seat on a stool, waiting for the meal to begin.

To cater to students’ tastes, most of the dishes prepared by the school were not spicy, so having some chili sauce with the meal was quite nice.

Wang Longlong didn’t start picking dishes right away. He wasn’t the type with poor manners like Zhang Chi; instead, he drank a mouthful of mung bean soup.

Guo Kunnan came over with a bowl, looking around to see that Ma Shicheng, Tan Meiling, and others had all arrived.

The moment had come. The plan was in motion.

Guo Kunnan picked up the glass jar of Lao Gan Ma and, in front of everyone at the table, casually tried to twist it open, but the cap wouldn’t budge.

He exerted force suddenly but still couldn’t open it.

Tan Meiling and Lu Qiqi watched him struggle with the lid.

The jar was strangely stubborn; after a whole minute of twisting, Guo Kunnan’s face was almost turning blue and his arms were trembling, but the lid remained immobile.

He instinctively glanced towards Lu Yaya, who was watching him at that moment.

Guo Kunnan was in a quandary.

Wang Longlong quickly offered face-saving help, "Brother Nan, I told you this afternoon not to do pull-ups. You had to do 50 and now your arms are weak, right?"

Having been given an out, Guo Kunnan hurriedly replied, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, I should’ve listened to your advice next time."

Wang Longlong quipped, "Heed advice, and you won’t go hungry."

Dan Kaiquan volunteered eagerly, "Let me give it a try!"

He exercised regularly and had good physical fitness. With one effort, the jar was opened.

Guo Kunnan had specifically prepared a communal spoon and offered it solicitously,

"Here, Yaya, try it with the bread. It’s a divine treat!"

Lu Yaya declined subtly, "No thanks."

Lu Qiqi thought that Lu Yaya might be too shy to eat. As Guo Kunnan’s desk mate, Lu Qiqi, despite being vain, felt he was a decent person and decided to support him.

"Guo Kunnan, give me a spoonful."

Thus, in the end, almost everyone at the table tried it, and Guo Kunnan also offered a spoonful to Lu Yaya.

Midway through the meal, Guo Kunnan asked, "Yaya, why didn’t you reply to my QQ messages over the weekend?"

After hearing that, Lu Yaya fell silent for a few seconds. Recently, Guo Kunnan had been frequently chatting with her.

She was troubled, as she usually had a lot of people chatting with her, but when she showed signs of refusal, those boys would take the hint and stop bothering her.

However, Guo Kunnan was like clocking in for work, from morning to night.

Many times, in the deep of night, in the early hours, Lu Yaya received messages from him.

She needed to study and manage her life; she really didn’t have that much time to reply to Guo Kunnan. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Yet, as they usually ate at the same table, it wasn’t easy for her to completely ignore him. Thus, she had set her QQ to invisible mode to avoid Guo Kunnan.

Lu Yaya found an excuse, "Sorry, I didn’t log in to QQ this weekend and didn’t see the messages."

Guo Kunnan pulled out his phone, checking Lu Yaya’s QQ profile,

"That doesn’t seem right. Your ’continuous QQ login expert’ status is still there, so you must have logged in every day."

Lu Yaya was cornered.

Tan Meiling couldn’t help but laugh, "Guo Kunnan, you’re really attentive to details."

...

At table 29.

"Jiang Ning made over 800 yuan from ring toss and still has more than 700 yuan left," bragged Xue Yuantong about the experience at the night market.

This caught the attention of several girls at the table.

Jiang Ning was unruffled, "Just luck."

He was very pleased with Xue Yuantong; every time he did something, he didn’t have to speak for himself, as she would never fail to mention it.

The girls at the table listened for a while, then Chen Siqing remarked, "Ah, Tang Fu, you stepped on my foot!"

Tang Fu quickly withdrew her long legs.

Deciding to act, she stood up, "Who’s serving the rice?"

Yang Sheng, having finished his drink, requested, "A bowl for me, please."

Tang Fu, with two bowls in hand, went to serve the rice.

She neglected to put down her chopsticks and took them along.

Returning with the bowls, she gripped the chopsticks, secured the bottom of the bowls, and expertly handed them over to Yang Sheng.

While picking dishes, Tang Fu searched the table and said in puzzlement, "Where are my chopsticks? Has anyone seen my chopsticks?"

Holding up the chopsticks, she seriously inquired, wondering how they could have disappeared in the time it took to eat a meal.

Everyone stared at the chopsticks in her hand, dumbfounded by her silliness.

...

Evening self-study.

With only one week left until the final exams, the class was less noisy during self-study, and everyone was busy reviewing.

Across the stream, Dan Kaiquan’s desk was spread with textbooks, but his heart wasn’t in studying. Occasionally, his gaze wandered across the stream.

Chen Siyu and Xue Yuantong were huddled together whispering and laughing joyfully.

Dan Kaiquan also caught sight of Bai Yuxia, but only her profile.

He recalled that confession night in the rain, when Bai Yuxia lightly uttered a rejection.

Since then, Dan Kaiquan hadn’t dared to directly look at Bai Yuxia’s face.

Did it still hurt? It hurt to the core.

It was time to give up... It was time to part.

Dan Kaiquan sighed deeply in his heart; after the final exams, everything would reshuffle, and he would move to the back of the class. From then on, his beloved would be as distant as mountains and seas, and mountains and seas... are not easily crossed.

"Tongtong, Tang Fu is not only silly in the cafeteria, she’s even dumber outside. Last night at the night market, she drove me and my sister crazy!"

She recounted to Xue Yuantong the tiresome haggling from the previous day, and the two girls burst into giggles from time to time.

All of a sudden, a terrifying figure appeared outside the window.

Chen Siyu’s blooming smile was obscured by the shadow, and her face changed color instantly—it was the silhouette of their class teacher, Shan Qingrong.
