Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 662 - 410 Movie and Tires_2

Seeing Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu, the sisters, leaving, he hurried over:

"Bai Yuxia, thanks for today."

He was truly grateful.

Bai Yuxia responded indifferently, "It was just a trivial matter."

Dong Qingfeng: "I owe you one. If it hadn’t been for your help at that moment, my chemistry paper might have been confiscated. Her personality is really tough."

After finishing his words, he saw that the expressions of the Chen sisters were off and thought they didn’t know the situation, so he explained with a smile:

"You know Jiang Huijuan, right? Today during the exam, I had written some cheat notes, and that Black—"

He stopped as Bai Yuxia put her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture.

Dong Qingfeng shuddered and looked down to see a shadow on the concrete, with a bag hanging at the shadow’s waist.

Dong Qingfeng was immediately terrified; he remembered clearly that Teacher Jiang Huijuan—Black Girl—liked to carry a backpack.

What to do, what to do?

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

In this critical moment, Dong Qingfeng’s quick thinking returned, and he quickly corrected himself:

"That Black, black, blackboard was wiped so clean!"

"Ah, Class 2 really did a good job with the cleaning. I was thinking at the time that you could really tell they were the experimental class, top quality. After I finished with the cheat notes, I definitely wanted to share the answers with Class 2’s students."

Dong Qingfeng gave a dry laugh twice, somehow managing to smooth things over.

After he finished speaking, he dared to turn around, coming face to face with Jiang Huijuan’s fierce glare.

Dong Qingfeng was scared after the fact, glad that he had been clever.

After the teacher left, he took a deep breath, feeling that quick-wittedness was a real test of the heart.

The Chen sisters giggled secretly; Dong Qingfeng was too funny.

After a while, Dong Qingfeng looked around and said, "To show my thanks, I’ll treat you to a movie tonight. The new movie ’Edge of Tomorrow’ that just came out in the theater has good reviews."

Bai Yuxia rejected him outright: "I helped you for the sake of the class; don’t overthink it."

Dong Qingfeng said, "But you really did help me, and showing gratitude is the right thing to do, right?"

"If you don’t like that movie, that’s fine, we can watch something else. You pick whatever you want, whatever looks good."

Bai Yuxia: "I already watched it earlier, it’s quite thrilling."

Having said that, she and Chen Siyu walked away.

Leaving Dong Qingfeng puzzled, did she mean that she had watched all the new movies that were released recently?

...

Having finished his exam, Huang Zhongfei walked alone down the main path of the campus.

The evening glow covered the campus, casting a golden-red hue on the lawn’s flowers and grass, placing Fourth Middle School among the top for greenery in urban high schools. Attending school here was very comfortable.

This main road, Huang Zhongfei had walked it many times, his handsome face showing a faint nostalgia; finally, his first year of high school was coming to an end.

Reflecting on the year’s events, Huang Zhongfei questioned whether he had fulfilled his duties; he was just a bit weary; he was really tired.

He hoped that in the next year, as a sophomore, the class would get new students, and Teacher Shan Qingrong would hand over the position of class president to someone else.

As Huang Zhongfei was pondering, Yu Wen, dragging Jiang Yanan behind her, caught up from behind.

"Class president." Yu Wen squeezed out the most gentle smile.

"Still haven’t gone home?" Huang Zhongfei responded.

Using her most gentle voice, Yu Wen said, "Class president, could you go with me and Jiang Yanan to watch a movie tonight? We got tickets for the 9 pm show, and I’m afraid of getting home too late."

Huang Zhongfei was quite concerned about his classmates; watching a movie at 9 pm would mean it wouldn’t finish until about 11 pm, which was indeed quite dangerous.

He nodded and asked, "What movie are you watching?"

Yu Wen, sensing an opportunity, had carefully observed the recent movie market, and after consulting with Dong Qingfeng, she knew which was the most exciting movie recently.

"Edge of Tomorrow," said Yu Wen, aware that boys liked to watch it, considering the class president deserved her earnest effort.

"Please, please, class president, watch with us!" Yu Wen signaled to Jiang Yanan.

The two were close friends, and Jiang Yanan added, "It’s too late after the movie, but if you’re with us, we’ll definitely feel safe."

The bold Yu Wen cooed, "I’ve been saving money for a long time just to watch this movie."

Seeing the request of the two girls, Huang Zhongfei pondered for a moment and said, "Forget going to the cinema. Come on, follow me back to the classroom. I will find the resources and share them with you."

...

Nanhong Road was adjacent to the Yuzhou Suburbs, from where one could turn onto the river dam.

Under the evening twilight, the mountain bike rode smoothly.

Xue Yuantong sat in the back seat, she had bought an ice cream cone, munching it with great delight, her mother wasn’t there, she could eat however she wanted, Jiang Ning never dared to control her.

She swung her little legs, looking at the city enveloped by the western glow, and felt it was incredibly beautiful.

The ice cream she bit into, just like the clouds on the horizon, soft and sweet.

"Jiang Ning, after we finish the exams tomorrow, it’s summer vacation. Are you going to visit your parents?"

"I’m not going for now."

"Oh, then when will you go? Stay there for a few days?" She prodded further.

"I’ll go when you and I argue, and you stop cooking for me," Jiang Ning said.

Xue Yuantong: "What if I keep cooking for you? Does that mean you won’t leave?"

Jiang Ning: "Yes."

Xue Yuantong was happy: "Okay then."

She didn’t want to be apart from Jiang Ning, so she secretly decided to try to argue less with him during the summer vacation.

She fantasized about summer life: "When there’s a flood, can we call Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu over, okay?"

Xue Yuantong hadn’t forgotten her promise, she often made foolish mistakes, but some promises, she always remembered crystal clear.

"Sure."

"Aren’t you good at predicting the weather? Remember to tell me two days in advance," Xue Yuantong reminded.

The timing of the annual summer floods was not set, sometimes it was in late July, and sometimes it could drag on to the end of August, but the floods were certain!

She calculated in her mind, and cars frequently whizzed by, Nanhong Road wasn’t like the roads in the urban area, it only had one lane, without sidewalks. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Whether walking, cycling, or driving a car, everyone shared the same road.

When Jiang Ning hastened along, Divine Sense usually expanded, and the mountain bike rode smoothly.

Suddenly, a large cargo truck came from behind, stirring up a cloud of dust. Xue Yuantong pouted and held her breath.

The ten-ton cargo truck, fully loaded, made an astonishing noise as it passed, a booming sound.

Its massive size, if colliding with an ordinary car, regardless of any luxury sedan, was likely to result in the destruction of the vehicle and loss of life.

Xue Yuantong often saw news about such truck accidents, therefore she harbored a sense of fear towards large trucks.

For a while, when her mother worked late, she would remind her to be extra careful every time before she left.

Her mother would always rub her head and say there was no need to worry.

As Xue Yuantong worried, the cargo truck overtook them and drove about ten meters ahead when suddenly there was a crash—the truck’s left dual tires unexpectedly burst, rolling forward.

At the same time, the truck’s body tilted to the left, sparks sprouting from the hanging rods.

Jiang Ning hit the brakes, Xue Yuantong leaned against his back in an instant, but there was a soft force she didn’t notice quietly supporting her.

Xue Yuantong hurriedly got off the back seat and looked forward along the side of the road.

The tire rolled along the road for about twenty meters, hit the guardrail with a "bang", and the tire burst into the air, rebounding to the middle of the road.

Xue Yuantong was startled and quickly clutched Jiang Ning’s arm, nervously looking up at him, then saw his calm face.

Xue Yuantong puzzled, ’Isn’t he afraid?’

She was nearly scared to death.

The tire, made of rubber and steel, bounced on the road like a rubber ball. The speeding SUV behind hastily maneuvered the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding it.

The tire hit the ground and bounced again.

But the sedan following wasn’t so lucky. The tire, weighing a couple hundred pounds, struck the side of the car with a tremendous force.

Accompanied by a massive "bang", the tire exploded; in an instant, a blast of air surged out, a massive cloud of white smoke billowed as if a bomb had detonated.

Jiang Ning activated an Array, reducing the volume for Xue Yuantong.

But the people cycling by weren’t so lucky; shaken by the loud noise, they swerved and crashed into the roadside guardrail.

The road was in chaos.

Xue Yuantong looked up at Jiang Ning again, his figure standing motionless by the road.

She thought again, ’Isn’t he scared?’
