Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1801 - 991: Two Red Envelopes

In the midst of Class 8's group chat, An Chan had initially entered with hopes of peace, only to be met with such infuriatingly low-quality messages that her hands trembled with rage.

Liu Chuandao, who had been loudly professing his affections, suddenly found his messages failing to send. A notification appeared in the group: [Liu Chuandao has been muted].

Wang Longlong intervened, announcing, "Hello everyone, this is Teacher An Chan, verified."

A brief silence fell over the group.

Liu Chuandao's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the screen, cold sweat breaking out and a chill running down his spine. A teacher! He might lack shame, but he understood the boundary between seriousness and frivolity.

Just then, his mute was lifted. Liu Chuandao scrambled to recover, exclaiming, "Apologies, everyone, my cousin was messing with my phone just now!" He swiftly sent a 50-yuan red envelope, wincing at the sting of his wallet.

Zhang Chi grabbed 5 yuan and played along, "I can vouch for that, I'm Liu Chuandao's cousin." Cui Yu snagged 3 yuan, adding, "Liu Chuandao's cousin is such an idiot, to say something so foolish." Duan Shigang, also taking 3 yuan, recalled Liu Chuandao's repeated cowardice and spoke bluntly, "Anyone saying that is basically an animal. Your cousin is truly a beast."

The group then began using "Liu Chuandao's cousin" as a pretext to mock Liu Chuandao, with everyone joining in, regardless of any prior grudges.

Liu Chuandao felt utterly cursed, as if a bucket of cold water had been doused over his head.

Meng Gui chimed in, "Can you send another red envelope? I haven't finished speaking yet." Tang Jing, thoroughly enjoying the banter, urged, "Yeah, otherwise how is Teacher An Chan supposed to forgive your cousin? Do you want Teacher An Chan to report it to the school or something?"

Liu Chuandao's face grew dark as he sent another 50-yuan red envelope. It was a peculiar experience, watching people he disliked grab the money only to continue mocking him. Furious, Liu Chuandao contemplated leaving the group. Never in his life had he spent money solely for the purpose of having his ancestors insulted!

Observing this bizarre spectacle, Teacher An Chan's anger began to subside.

...

Near the river dam, within a small bungalow, a girl's voice shrieked through the microphone, "I can't do it! I can't do it!" Chen Siyu continued her outburst, "I want to..."

Xue Chuchu's concentration wavered as her character stumbled about due to the shouting. She took a steadying breath, asking, "You want what?"

"I want your milk..."

"I've already healed you," Xue Chuchu replied calmly. Chen Siyu paused, then admitted, "But I feel like your milk output is too low, I can't feel anything." Even Xue Chuchu, with her usual demeanor, couldn't help but glance down at her chest before quickly averting her gaze back to the screen. How strange!

Following that match, Chen Siyu announced she would play the healer role, with Jiang Ning on support, and Xue Chuchu heading to the top lane solo. Despite not being a top-tier gamer, Xue Chuchu possessed the versatility to play any position.

Once Chen Siyu secured the healer role, she instructed her sister, "Go message Yuxia." Chen Siqing picked up her sister's phone and noticed a message from a girl named Xin Youling: "Chen Siyu, do I need to put this memory card into my phone?" Chen Siqing replied, "Yes."

"But my iPhone doesn't have a card slot." Chen Siqing responded, "Then put it into your computer." Xin Youling, circling her computer, struggled to find a solution: "My computer doesn't have a memory card slot." Chen Siqing suggested, "Find a card reader then?"

Although Xin Youling was the class monitor, numerous girls lacked basic computer knowledge. Concepts that boys grasped instinctively, like card readers, were merely vague terms to them, much like lipstick shades were to boys.

"Insert the memory card into the card reader, then plug it into the computer, and you'll be able to read it," Chen Siqing patiently explained. Xin Youling responded with an "Oh, oh." She then went to her parents, acquired a card reader, and returned to her room, sitting back down at her computer.

Plugging in the card reader was straightforward, similar to a USB drive. However, a new obstacle arose: "This file is .7z, why can't I open it?" Chen Siqing replied, "Your computer is missing an unzipping program. Download 7-Zip, and you should be able to extract it." Xin Youling proceeded to download it: "Why can't I open the 7-Zip website?"

Noticing her sister's sudden silence, Chen Siyu inquired, "Why aren't you talking to Yuxia?" Chen Siqing answered, "I'm assisting Xin Youling." Chen Siyu scooted closer and glanced at their conversation. Speechless, Chen Siyu blurted out, "So dense!"

Chen Siqing regarded her younger sister, a thought crossing her mind: "Foolish little sister, now you finally grasp how Jiang Ning felt when she was instructing you in mathematics, don't you!"

Xin Youling continued to plead for assistance: "It’s no use, I still cannot gain access."

A mischievous notion sparked within Chen Siyu, and she declared plainly, "Do not enter, I shall assist you in excavating it instead."

Xin Youling appeared bewildered: "You can excavate a website? Do you mean to detach it from a visual representation?"

Never receiving the aid she had been guaranteed from Chen Siyu, that wicked memory card retreated into silence.

Chen Siyu even neglected to exhibit her creation to Bai Yuxia.

...

Saturday arrived, heralded by the sun ascending from the east, casting a warm and pleasant glow. Sparrows alighted upon tree limbs, their cheerful chirping filling the air.

Upon rising, Jiang Ning proceeded to Chuchu's residence for breakfast. The meal was a private affair, solely for the two of them; Tongtong remained sound asleep beneath her covers.

Jiang Ning reclined onto the small stool, adopting a relaxed posture, and Xue Chuchu, in a gesture of service, presented him with rice porridge, meticulously arranging chopsticks and a porcelain spoon beside the bowl.

Despite attending to his needs, Xue Chuchu maintained her characteristic cold and detached demeanor. She procured a meat bun for him before moving to sit at a considerable distance across from him.

Observing Chuchu as she consumed her porridge with a spoon, Jiang Ning recognized her as the polar opposite of Tongtong.

In days past, Tongtong had shown a reluctance to interact with unfamiliar individuals, but after over a year of shared existence, she had undergone a profound transformation.
