Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 674 - 416: Heatstroke Victim_2

Entering the supermarket, a gust of cool air from the air conditioning hit her, and Xue Yuantong found herself forgetting everything that happened before as she looked at the dazzling array of products in front of her.

This time, she bought a lot of snacks and chose a shopping cart to push around.

Jiang Ning was in charge of pushing, while she was in charge of enjoying the shopping.

Xue Yuantong headed straight for the snack aisle, continuously tossing items like honey-glazed chicken legs, chips, big colas, hot and sour noodles, and plum candies into the cart.

Along the way, they encountered a mother and son, the little boy sitting in the shopping cart having the time of his life, his mother pushing the cart.

Xue Yuantong felt envious.

When she was little, she had watched TV dramas and had such fantasies, but unfortunately, there was only one small supermarket in her town at that time.

Now that she had grown up, she could no longer do such foolish things.

Adults should act like adults!

After passing several more shelves, they arrived at the area selling bread and biscuits, only to see a little girl with horn braids reaching for something on the shelf.

Since the shelf was too high, the little girl couldn’t reach it and was frantically hopping up and down.

Seeing this, Xue Yuantong, reminded of the martial arts film she had watched at home that afternoon, felt a surge of chivalrous spirit.

"To see injustice and draw one’s sword to help" is what a true knight does!

Helping the weak and supporting justice was what she, Xue Yuantong, was supposed to do.

Xue Yuantong ran up to the little girl and kindly asked, "Little sister, what do you want?"

The little girl pointed at the top shelf and said in her childish voice, "I want that sachima."

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong tiptoed and stretched her arm but couldn’t reach.

Awkward...

She faced the little girl’s questioning gaze and turned to give Jiang Ning a look that said, ’Hurry up and help!’

Jiang Ning slowly strolled over, and being 30 centimeters taller than Xue Yuantong, he easily grabbed the sachima bag.

The little girl, holding the bag happily, lifted her little face and politely said, "Thank you, brother."

Xue Yuantong: "What about me?"

The little girl shook her head, "Thank you, sister, for calling my brother."

Xue Yuantong was thanked but also felt slighted, and it deeply troubled her.

She bitterly picked out a few boxes of pure milk.

Jiang Ning, puzzled, asked, "Don’t you dislike drinking pure milk?"

Xue Yuantong: "I like it now."

She had heard that drinking pure milk was beneficial for growing taller.

...

While strolling through the supermarket, Jiang Ning was just an emotionless cart-pushing robot, weaving the shopping cart between various shelves.

With nothing else to do, he pulled out his phone and played with it with one hand while pushing the cart.

Now that vacation had started, the class group chat was still lively, always exploding with 99+ messages if half a day passed.

Jiang Ning didn’t look at the class group first but clicked into another group, which also had 99+ messages.

This was created by Wang Longlong for the new 14th intake of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School, with Wang Longlong as the group owner himself and Ma Shicheng, Cui Yu, and Guo Kunnan as the three administrators.

Normally, Wang Longlong loved to pop in to tell the new students about things to pay attention to at Fourth Middle School, about certain teachers, the small dining table plan, campus photos, accommodation conditions, and so forth, enjoying unrivaled prestige for a time.

Cui Yu crazily added schoolgirls and browsed their QQ zones.

Guo Kunnan was shy, staying in the group to chat and occasionally putting on the airs of a senior.

Originally, this indeed caused many junior girls to call him "senior."

Recently, he faced setbacks when some new junior boys, who hadn’t even started school yet, discussed the shoes they usually wore, and the group chat was filled with dazzling displays of various sports shoes, especially by one junior with an anime black-and-white profile picture, showing off his shoes priced in the four-digit range!

Guo Kunnan, from a rural background, couldn’t get a word in edgewise and became the backdrop for the anime-headed junior’s boastfulness.

The anime-headed boy @Guo Kunnan, provocatively asked, "Senior, do you understand shoes?"

Guo Kunnan didn’t know how to reply in order to maintain the face of a senior in the group.

Cui Yu was much more straightforward, cursing under his breath; he used his admin rights to directly kick the junior out.

...

In another group.

Firstly, Dong Qingfeng posted about a new spicy crab restaurant in town, claiming the place tasted nice and offered free fruit on a self-service basis. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Lu Qiqi replied, "I recently went there twice with my partner. Their place is so-so, not as good as another restaurant I visited, but the one I visited has a higher expenditure."

Chen Siyu posted a photo of her newly bought sports bra, featuring a blue sky and white cloud logo:

"Look, guys, doesn’t this match my Cloud Jade Pendant well?"

Dong Qingfeng complimented, "Perfect!"

Bai Yuxia chimed in, "Hmm, it looks good."

Lu Qiqi immediately showed off the bracelet she had just bought: "Your matching set is passable, the Jade Pendant doesn’t look valuable. My cousin bought this for me, it’s pure silver, over 700."

Chen Siyu had wanted to say, everyone, that Jiang Ning carved it by hand for me and my sister, it was handmade, unique in the world.

Considering the meaning of that sentence, she didn’t say it.

Lu Qiqi didn’t really mean any harm, but she was vain and liked to show off and compare in the group.

Everyone was aware of that.

Dong Qingfeng said, "I found a movie, ’Brocade Spring Saber,’ have you heard of it? I’ll definitely go to the theater to see it when I have the chance."

Miao Zhe said, "Brocade Spring Saber is the Jinyi Guard’s personal saber, right? Sounds interesting."

To Miao Zhe, the Jinyi Guard was a mysterious and powerful profession, doing the Emperor’s bidding, arresting whoever they wanted.

Chen Qian commented, "The Jinyi Guard are just minions, unable to achieve great things."

Zhang Chi had good physical fitness and was attracted to the glamor of blade and sword, "Even if they are minions, many people vie to become one. In our time, they’re like the mysterious FBI, do you understand their prestige?"

Meng Gui, who had watched countless films, immediately asked, "Zhang Chi, you watch the FBI too?"

Zhang Chi was puzzled, "What’s that?"

Dong Qingfeng quickly understood and didn’t bother joining their conversation. He tagged Jiang Yanan and Shen Qing’e, "Do you want to go see it together?"

"You could also bring your bestie." Dong Qingfeng had wanted to protect Mu Ying ever since he saw her.

Upon hearing this, Meng Gui asked, "Can I join too?"

Lu Qiqi said, "Brocade Spring Saber? It’s average, I’m not interested, I left halfway through."

While showing she had seen the movie, she also showed that she didn’t care about the cost of the movie ticket.

Dong Qingfeng was silent.

Bai Yuxia spoke up again, "Huh? Qiqi, where did you watch it?"

Lu Qiqi: "Didn’t I just say? At the cinema, the tickets cost me a lot of money, all wasted."

Chen Siyu, who had been silent, suddenly received a message from her deskmate Bai Yuxia, and her eyes lit up upon seeing the text.

Chen Siyu had just shown off her Cloud Jade Pendant compared with Lu Qiqi, and was still unhappy about it.

She replied privately, "Xiaxia, you’re still the best, leave it to me, together we’re invincible!"

Chen Siyu asked in the group, "Ah? Which cinema did you watch it at?"

Lu Qiqi replied, "Wanda Cinema, in the biggest hall, I bought really good seats."

Chen Siyu straightforwardly replied, "But the movie ’Brocade Spring Saber’ has just been scheduled, it won’t be released until August 7."

The class group went silent.

Many classmates felt second-hand embarrassment for Lu Qiqi through their screens.

...

Inside the supermarket.

Jiang Ning was pushing the shopping cart to check out, and with the cashier scanning item by item, the final amount came to exactly 100 yuan, not a cent more.

Such simple calculations were effortless for Xue Yuantong.

Xue Yuantong handed over a hundred yuan note, paying cleanly.

The large cloth bag was packed full.

Naturally, the bag carrier had to be Jiang Ning, as Xue Yuantong was paying today.

Xue Yuantong cautiously stepped onto the escalator, slowly descending.

Exiting the supermarket doors, the cool air disappeared. She looked forward and saw Kumamoto Bear still holding a flyer, facing the west sun in the square, causing Xue Yuantong to feel hot for him.

Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense sensed something unusual and slowed his steps slightly.

Kumamoto Bear holding the flyer, previously handling it well, suddenly swayed twice.

Then with a "thump," he fell backward, motionless.

His appearance was comical and amusing, surrounded by laughing children.

After a few more seconds, Kumamoto Bear did not stand back up.

A little girl with braids cried out tragically, "Kumamoto Bear is dead!"

Xue Yuantong hurriedly nudged Jiang Ning, worried something bad had happened.

Kumamoto Bear laid there for nearly half a minute, and the passerby around started noticing something was off.

Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense pinpointed the reason. He stepped forward, his Spiritual Power swayed, parting the people in his way.

He handed the cloth bag to Xue Yuantong next to him and then crouched down, pulling off Kumamoto Bear’s headpiece.

A face of a young girl with closed eyes, pale skin, and two strands of damp hair sticking to her forehead appeared.

An older woman nearby commented, "It’s so hot, she must have had a heatstroke!"

Jiang Ning looked at the heatstricken girl, with slight recognition, having seen her once at his uncle’s house, her name was ’Yao Yiyao.’

Thinking so, Jiang Ning tapped her with a stream of gentle Spiritual Power and shook her, "Wake up."
