Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1867 1031: She Is a Good Person

Classroom of Class 8, broad daylight.

As the holiday approached, restlessness filled the hearts of everyone.

Jiang Ning held the pen confidently, addressing Chen Siyu's inquiries for academic help.

Chen Siyu leaned her elbow on the desk, resting her chin, tilting her face, watching him solve problems with concentration.

She recalled every time she sought Jiang Ning's help, he would always remain composed, leaving her with a full sense of relief.

A feeling of gratitude blossomed in her heart, her body relaxed, and she kindly reminded him, "Jiang Ning, take your time solving it, I'm not in a rush."

Jiang Ning remained unperturbed, "Hmm, I'm worried you might get impatient."

Chen Siyu, unconcerned, instead reassured him, "It's okay if you can't come up with the answer."

Jiang Ning replied, "I'll figure it out."

"Alright, I'll wait for you to come up with it," she said, changing her posture, continuing to observe his competence.

In the front row, Bai Yuxia, who was working on a problem, heard their conversation, and couldn't help but grip her pen tightly: 'Still asking for help, and can't figure it out... Do you plan to stay inside forever?'

'Heh, those unaware of the context would think you're in the classroom; they'd assume you're in bed...'

Suddenly, scenes she once observed played in her mind, and a thought surfaced: 'No, it can also be in the classroom.'

Immediately, Bai Yuxia felt her tender ears burning intensely, ashamed of how she had turned into such a girl.

...

In the same classroom, some sought academic help, some assisted with studies, some fantasized, and others slept.

And some were negotiating.

Lu Qiqi looked at the one hundred yuan Xiao Shaoxiong pulled out and laughed on the spot, "What can a hundred yuan do?"

Xiao Shaoxiong felt insulted, "Then you earn a hundred yuan and show me?"

Lu Qiqi laughed exaggeratedly, "When I evaluate the cooling effect of a refrigerator, do I need to cool it myself?"

Xiao Shaoxiong retorted, "Is that the same?"

He felt Lu Qiqi's logic was twisted, but faced with such a classic statement, he found it hard to counter robustly.

Lu Qiqi accused, "You burned Zhang Zhang and damaged her clothes, and you merely offer to compensate 100 yuan? Anyone not in the know would think you were here to joke!"

Xiao Shaoxiong was rendered speechless, his face full of grief, tempted to give Lu Qiqi a slap.

"It's not like I wanted the phone to explode, was it to show how smooth my phone is!" At this moment, he truly understood what it meant to be loveless!

Lu Qiqi sarcastically remarked, "Your phone is so smooth it exploded!"

"I haven't even asked you to compensate for my loss of tranquility!" Lu Qiqi fiddled with her nails, having recently noticed Yu Wen starting to mimic her movements with rings and bracelets after winning a prize, making her feel unlucky.

She decided to develop another elegant and noble artistic gesture.

Xiao Shaoxiong spoke in a hushed tone, "But the phone bursting isn't my issue!"

It was clearly because he used Liu Chuandao's Roman bomb.

Lu Qiqi's expression became more mocking, "Are you buying a Samsung phone then?"

Xiao Shaoxiong's face turned quite colorful, clearly, he didn't dare buy one now!

Now, whenever he heard the word Samsung phone, he felt a lingering dread.

Lu Qiqi couldn't be bothered to continue the argument, deciding on behalf of her good friend, "A 100 yuan compensation is too little, remember, it was Jiang Ning who saved Zhang Zhang, she still owes him a favor!"

Lu Qiqi asserted, "Pay one thousand, her arm might still be scarred."

"A thousand?" Xiao Shaoxiong questioned immediately, looking utterly bewildered.

Zhang Zhaodi, seeing Lu Qiqi constantly haggling for her, genuinely thought Lu Qiqi was a great friend, very loyal.

Yet, as a girl from a town, she was inherently honest.

Zhang Zhaodi's charming oval face bore some determination, "150 is fine, just covering medical and clothing costs... and then you should thank Jiang Ning."

Upon hearing the first part, having been shocked by the mention of a thousand, Xiao Shaoxiong found this number acceptable, but upon hearing the latter part, he almost jumped again.

He turned to Jiang Ning, dissatisfied, "Thank him for what?"

"And apologize to him, should I apologize to the whole world?" He stated forcefully, apologizing to Jiang Ning? Where would his dignity be?

Lu Qiqi sneered, "If Jiang Ning hadn't helped put out the fire, do you know the consequences? You should even bow to him as thanks!"

"Either apologize, or pay a thousand yuan, Zhang Zhang's arm might indeed scar, and she suffered a lot!" Lu Qiqi concluded decisively.

Xiao Shaoxiong glared, "You!"

Beside her, Zhang Zhaodi stayed quiet, silently agreeing with her good friend's words.

The atmosphere was tense for a while, Xiao Shaoxiong finally said, "Fine, I'll thank him!"

He acted decisively, standing up from his seat, walking straight to the aisle, "Jiang Ning."

Jiang Ning turned his face, quietly looking at him, his expression unchanged.

Despite having decided to apologize, facing Jiang Ning, Xiao Shaoxiong couldn't help recalling a few years back on the town school playground, when he and Wu Tie double-teamed Jiang Ning.

Such different circumstances after all this time.

'Someday, I, Xiao Shaoxiong…'

Xiao Shaoxiong gritted his teeth, "I'm here to thank you, thank you for saving Zhang Zhaodi."

His stature not being small, he caught the attention of surrounding students, who watched with interest.

Dong Qingfeng said, "Good thing you're expressing gratitude, if it were an apology, it might have been troublesome."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

By the podium, Song Sheng's expression was interesting, being the first recipient of such an apology.

The many new students didn't understand why they were suddenly laughing.

Jiang Ning replied, "Oh, just happened to be able to help."

Having said that, he continued teaching Chen Siyu math.
