Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1689 - 921: Player

Once sports teacher Gu Wei concluded his solo speech, a wave of refreshment surged through him, and he wrapped it up with a timeless proverb:

"Plan ahead, and you will succeed; fail to plan, and you will fail."

"I hope all of you will remember this!"

Emotions spread like wildfire, and the students burst out in excitement: "Great, great, the teacher spoke so well!"

"Where’s your applause?" Gu Wei waved both hands vigorously: "Louder, let me hear your applause!"

Cui Yu leaped straight onto the desk and clapped wildly for the sports teacher, igniting thunderous applause throughout the classroom.

Buoyed by the crowd's fervor, Gu Wei's excitement soared higher. He shot a glance at the scowling language teacher by the door and declared fearlessly: "Tomorrow morning, during the third period, no matter what class is scheduled, it’ll all switch to my sports class!"

Lu Qiqi yelled with thrill: "Mr. Gu, I love you!"

"Mr. Gu, we’re your fans!"

"Ah, Mr. Gu!"

In the midst of the chaotic uproar, Jiang Yanan tsked: "Has the sports teacher been pushed that far?"

Yu Wen remarked: "Why does this feel like a concert?"

Jiang Yanan, a frequent viewer of concert highlights, mused: "Something seems off, like it’s missing a piece."

Right then, Cui Yu hollered: "Mr. Gu, where’s your presence!"

Gu Wei caught on immediately. Pumping his arms, he dashed along the aisle as students stretched out for high-fives.

Jiang Yanan got it: "That’s the vibe, for sure!"

Gu Wei lapped the room once, buzzing with electric thrill, and vowed further: "Not just the third period tomorrow morning—the fourth one too will become sports class! Back-to-back sessions!"

Dai Yongquan balled his fists at the doorway: "Way too bold!"

Having made his proclamation, Gu Wei departed from the ecstatic class 8 in high spirits.

Gong Jin stared at the bizarre class 8, lost in thought for ages. Not only the students, but the teachers in this class appeared off-kilter too.

Once the sports teacher exited, the heated buzz gradually settled.

Bai Yuxia saw Si Yu zoning out blankly, lost in foolish thoughts, and nudged her softly: "Hmm?"

Chen Siyu snapped back to reality.

"What’s on your mind? The sports teacher just set two periods for sports class tomorrow morning. Why aren’t you excited?" Bai Yuxia inquired.

Chen Siyu had been mulling over intellectual disability. She shone in sciences, but her sister lagged, barely scraping 70 in math—a real struggle. As siblings, their fates were linked.

Chen Siyu wondered: "Yuxia, what do you reckon someone with intellectual disability acts like?"

Bai Yuxia got the hint. Chen Siyu was stewing over Gao Heshuai’s barbs, which was kind of hilarious.

Bai Yuxia paused briefly and explained: "Setting aside severe cases, mild intellectual disability shows as dodging thought altogether. Their gut response to anything new is questioning, without ever digging deeper."

Chen Siyu shot back instantly: "What do you mean?"

Bai Yuxia stayed composed: "Nothing specific."

Chen Siyu asked, baffled: "Does that make me mildly intellectually disabled?"

Bai Yuxia stated assuredly: "The answer’s plain as day."

Chen Siyu beamed: "Awesome, so I’m definitely not."

"Yeah, yeah." Bai Yuxia humored her.

As they chatted, Jiang Ning slipped back into the classroom ahead of others.

"Did you misplace Tongtong?" Chen Siyu questioned.

Jiang Ning: "Yeah, ditched him in the office."

"Can I claim Tongtong’s throne for the next class?" Chen Siyu hoped eagerly, since everyone else had plain stools, but Tongtong’s fancy chair stood out prominently.

Jiang Ning: "If you wanna sit there, be my guest."

Thus, Chen Siyu took over Tongtong’s seat, and the moment she settled in, her face grew solemn: "I sense the power of knowledge flowing into me. From here on, whoever disrupts my studying..."

Jiang Ning: "Then what?"

Chen Siyu declared: "Whoever disturbs my studies, I’ll pause and join in the fun with them."

...

In the evening self-study interval, Dan Kaiquan headed steadfastly to the playground for runs and body refinement practice.

Guo Kunnan eyed his buddy’s determined silhouette and felt a pang of inadequacy, though his recent girlfriend gave him a slight edge over Kaiquan.

Wang Longlong posted in the class group that someone was confessing to Yun Tingting tonight, drawing even the indifferent ones to the corridors to spectate.

Guo Kunnan pondered: "I heard Yun Tingting’s got a smooth-talker from class 3 chasing her. How’s a random confession gonna work?"

Cao Kun asserted confidently: "I bet it’s got strong odds."

Guo Kunnan inquired: "Why are you so certain?"

With a straight face, Cao Kun replied: "Girls who flirted with me before all chose other guys in the end, proving that confessions can definitely succeed."

For the first time, Guo Kunnan realized that sincerity served as an ultimate weapon.

He slapped Old Cao on the shoulder and remarked: "You truly don't match your surname at all."

Hu Jun proclaimed boldly: "Love recognizes no limits."

Lu Qiqi tagged along with Gong Jin to enjoy the spectacle. Gong Jin eyed Yun Tingting eagerly—she possessed an impressive figure and loved flaunting it, ensuring her reputation spread across the entire school. Naturally, pursuing her would prove extremely challenging. Capturing such a beauty in one's embrace would surely bring endless thrill.

Lu Qiqi couldn't fathom Gong Jin's intentions. Without knowing the reason, Hu Jun's sight stirred an unexplained irritation in her, as if he exuded a strong paternal aura.

This annoyance intensified especially when Hu Jun proudly displayed the bracelet from his girlfriend, which utterly conflicted with Lu Qiqi's principles.

Lu Qiqi scoffed: "Your girlfriend is truly unfortunate to be stuck with you, as if doomed by a curse across eight lifetimes."

Hu Jun stammered out: "You mustn't speak of her... you mustn't speak of her like that!"

Lu Qiqi shot back: "Feeling all proud now, are you?"

Hu Jun: "Not bad."

Nothing more than a classmate's mother, no big deal.

Lu Qiqi: "I just can't see a single good thing about you!"

Observing Lu Qiqi's bold attitude, Hu Jun inevitably recalled the wisdom from his older girlfriend. He cleared his throat twice: "Qiqi, you're fantastic in every other way, just far too materialistic. The world brims with wonders..."
