Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1811 - 997: Framing

Upon the train's arrival at the station, all passengers proceeded by car to the Yun City Wildlife Park.

More than a kilometer from the park's entrance, the bus halted, and students from each class disembarked. They were then organized into teams to commence their walk.

"Ugh, I didn't want to get off the bus yet. Why couldn't they drop us right at the park entrance?" a student grumbled.

"Perhaps it's for the photographs?" Dong Qingfeng speculated, noticing the waiting photographers by the roadside.

Each class regrouped, with their designated flag bearers proudly raising the banners to lead the procession.

Yu Wen, burdened by a heavy backpack, initiated her 'Summoning Technique'. "I need a male classmate to assist me. Firstly, he must carry my bag to the park, and then continue to carry it for me inside. He must remain within 50 meters of me throughout the visit, ideally responding to my call. Furthermore, I hope he's not too overweight, is clean, not greasy, and maintains a positive attitude towards me..."

Yu Wen continued to elaborate on her ideal assistant's qualifications.

Xiao Shaoxiong scoffed, "Do you really think you're some kind of princess? Even a dog wouldn't take on this job!"

Honestly, he thought Yu Wen's appearance was merely average. He wondered if city girls truly considered themselves royalty.

Yu Wen's voice carried, reaching students in both Class 7 and Class 9, whose expressions clearly indicated disinterest.

Yu Wen simply surveyed the crowd before casually producing three banknotes. "A reward of 300 yuan."

Yan Tianpeng from Class 9 exclaimed, "No dog would do it... But I will! I'll do it!"

Shen Xu, not even concerned about his own issues, eagerly volunteered, "Me! I used to be a businessman; I'm skilled at conversation and my service is top-notch!"

Zhao Jinyang, the athletics student from Class 7, inquired, "Can I do it?"

In an instant, Yu Wen became the focal point of attention.

Zhong Huai considered the offer. How much did his father earn in a single day at the construction site? 300 yuan – how many times could he sing 'Father' for that amount?

Ultimately, the task was accepted by the diligent Huang Yuzhu.

The Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School contingent proceeded grandly along the path, flanked by blooming cherry blossoms, painting a picturesque scene for the month of April.

Class 7, positioned ahead, chanted boisterous slogans, while Class 9, trailing behind, sang the amusing class song chosen by Gao Heshuai.

Yang Sheng, the physically fittest girl in Class 8, served as the flag bearer. As she walked, she gently swayed the flag, which fluttered and danced in the breeze.

Chen Siyu approached Yang Sheng, saying, "Our class is rather dull. Could you perform that again?"

"Perform which one?" Yang Sheng asked.

"The one from the sports meet," Chen Siyu clarified.

Yang Sheng recalled the request and, never one to be shy, responded with a bright voice, "Alright then."

She increased her pace, then expertly swung the flagpole behind her waist. She commenced a stylish spin, the whirling flag creating a spiral of petal-like patterns in the air.

Yang Sheng's short-haired profile possessed a unique, captivating beauty.

The students of Class 8 watched the spectacle, momentarily captivated.

Chen Siyu called out, "Yang Sheng, please stop spinning! I spent a fortune on my diamond-studded manicure and I feel so sorry for it!"

Yang Sheng thought, *'Didn't you just ask me to spin?'* And she couldn't fathom the connection between spinning and manicures.

Only Bai Yuxia seemed to grasp Chen Siyu's peculiar reasoning, letting out a quiet snicker.

Chen Siyu chuckled, "Haha, I was just joking. I don't even have a manicure."

Further back, Dan Kaiquan nudged his deskmate's shoulder. "Brother Nan, stop staring."

Guo Kunnan clutched his chest dramatically. "I can't control the fluttering of my heart."

Dan Kaiquan retorted, "You get excited seeing Xu Yan, you get excited seeing Xin Youling too. Who *wouldn't* make your heart flutter?"

Guo Kunnan insisted, "You don't understand. Among everyone here, she's the one who makes my heart flutter the most!"

Wang Longlong burst into laughter, teasing, "Brother Nan, go on with your 44-day heart-fluttering duty!"

Guo Kunnan shivered, his excitement instantly vanishing.

As the group continued onward, a commotion erupted ahead. It turned out a group of much younger students in uniforms was approaching. From Jiang Ning's perspective, they were shorter than Tongtong, resembling a line of mobile mushrooms.

A teacher cautioned the young students, "Watch your steps, and don't get separated."

Gradually, the group of younger students and the Fourth Middle School contingent passed each other.

Both sides regarded each other with curiosity.

The younger students whispered amongst themselves, "Are they middle schoolers or high schoolers?"

"I think they must be high schoolers; they're so tall."

Xue Yuantong overheard this and discreetly moved behind Jiang Ning.

Finally, one courageous little child piped up in a sweet voice, "Are you high school students?"

Dan Kaiquan replied, "Yes, we're juniors. What grade are you in?"

"Second grade."

"So young?" Dan Kaiquan remarked.

Cui Yu, uninterested in the conversation, fixed his gaze on a branch overhead. Taking a few running steps, he powerfully leaped, managing to grasp the branch.

Cui Yu looked down at the younger students. "Little ones, isn't your big brother awesome?"

The young students were utterly astonished, exclaiming, "Incredible! Truly amazing!"

One small boy, brimming with aspiration, declared with envy, "Once I reach high school, I'm certain I'll be able to leap that high too!"

Cui Yu, chuckling heartily, produced his phone. "We have phones now, so we can play anytime we wish!"

He then proceeded to open the game screen of 'Timi' for them to see.

The young students grew even more envious, thinking, "After we wrap up middle school, we'll finally be high schoolers!"

Dan Kaiquan observed the young students, a wave of nostalgia washing over him as he recalled the carefree days of his own childhood. He too spoke with a hint of longing, "Walk along slowly then!"

Indeed, the path forward was not an easy one.

The two distinct groups slowly ambled past each other, their distances gradually increasing.

...

They had arrived at the Yun City Wildlife Park.

A massive banner, unfurled at the entrance, proudly welcomed the teachers and students of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School...

Jiang Ning stood amidst a formation of two thousand students, his gaze fixed upon the banner. In his past life, there had been no such banner; he had been entirely alone.

After graduating from college in his previous existence, he had found employment in Yuzhou. One day, Sister Ma had unexpectedly sent him two group-purchase QR codes. She had managed to snag coupons online and wanted Jiang Ning to take her daughter, Pei Yujing, to the zoo, suggesting that using such apps was a common way for young people to grow closer.
