Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 153 - 142: What’s So Great About It_2

Bai Yuxia looked at Dan Kaiquan's expression and frowned,

"Dan Kaiquan, I think you don't need me to explain the question to you."

What kind of person is this? I kindly explain the problem, and he gets distracted, incredible!

Bai Yuxia straightened her body and started to solve the problem herself.

Dan Kaiquan panicked, hurriedly apologizing, "I really wasn't distracted just now. I was thinking about the problem, and I thought of a whole new solution."

At that moment, Xue Yuantong entered the classroom from the door, holding a big apple in her hand. Jiang Ning could see that her hands were still wet, apparently because she had just washed the apple.

It must be something important to make her leave her seat personally.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, can you help me open this?" Xue Yuantong handed the apple to Jiang Ning.

The moment Jiang Ning's fingers touched Xue Yuantong's, a surge of Spiritual Power swept across her fingers, drying the cold droplets on them.

Dan Kaiquan said, "Can you even open an apple?"

"Of course! Jiang Ning is super awesome!" Xue Yuantong boasted.

Jiang Ning smiled a bit; Xue Yuantong always asked him to open apples before.

Holding the large apple, Jiang Ning casually snapped it in two, revealing the fresh fruit inside.

Dan Kaiquan witnessed this scene and was stunned. The apple in Jiang Ning's hand was large, of good quality, not a small one. Jiang Ning easily split it almost effortlessly.

"Holy cow, Jiang Ning, how did you do that? Are you that strong?"

Xue Yuantong chirped, "Hahaha, Jiang Ning is super strong; he can split anything in one go!"

"You know beer bottle caps, right? He can open them with his hand, no opener needed!"

Jiang Ning gave half the apple to Xue Yuantong. These apples were distributed by Aunt Gu's company, costing more than ten yuan each, not as expensive as those costing hundreds per pound, but still pricier than the usual apples.

After sharing with Xue Yuantong, he divided the other half into four pieces. The apple was big enough that each piece looked decently sized. He handed them to Dan Kaiquan, Bai Yuxia, and Geng Lu, who sat behind them.

Dan Kaiquan took a bite, finding it very crispy and sweet, exceptionally delicious.

He recalled the way Jiang Ning had snapped the apple, looking so relaxed and cool.

Dan Kaiquan decided to buy some apples at the supermarket later, practice quietly by himself, and once mastered, show it to Bai Yuxia.

...

Evening self-study.

Jiang Ning brought two large bags from home.

Tonight was the last evening self-study before the winter break for the freshmen at Fourth Middle School.

Following this would be three days of final term exams, and after that, the winter break would commence.

Thus, they had to bring all their textbooks home today, otherwise, they might lose them in the classroom.

Jiang Ning knew about Dan Xiao; this semester, Dan Xiao had frequently stolen, and he hadn't stopped him.

Everyone had their destiny; Dan Xiao had already grown accustomed to stealing, and if he continued this way, he would end up in jail someday.

He engaged in petty theft, and as long as it didn't affect Jiang Ning directly, he currently couldn't be bothered with it. Dan Xiao's slick actions left hardly any traces, indeed a talent in his own right.

The homeroom teacher, Shan Qingrong, stood at the podium and announced:

"Everyone, after the exam ends on Friday afternoon, pack up and go home directly. Don't forget your things. When you get home, remember to check in the group. Huang Zhongfei, please keep track and report to me."

"Five days after the exam ends, which is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, come to school before nine-thirty in the morning to pick up your report cards and discuss some matters."

Shan Qingrong then wrote down the date on the podium:

"Make sure you remember it."

Dong Qingfeng raised his hand, "Homeroom teacher, won't there be a parent-teacher conference?"

Shan Qingrong responded, "No parent-teacher conference."

The students cheered for a while, not many students liked parent-teacher meetings. They always felt that having parents come to school was a bit embarrassing, and if their grades were bad, the meetings could be quite humiliating.

When Shan Qingrong took out the exam numbers for Huang Zhongfei to post.

Bai Yuxia whispered, "I've noticed that in elementary school, there were the most parent-teacher meetings. Middle school was okay, but in high school, there were none."

Jiang Ning said, "That's true."

Dan Kaiquan said, "I hate parent-teacher meetings the most. In the past, I used to ask the uncle next door to pretend to be my dad and attend the meetings. That way, even if the teachers scolded my parents, I wouldn't get beaten up."

Jiang Ning said, "You're quite something."

"Just average, I just have ways of managing," Dan Kaiquan thought Jiang Ning was complimenting him, and he was quite pleased.

When the exam number list reached Bai Yuxia, she looked it over and said,

"Xue Yuantong, you and Jiang Ning are in exam room number one."

Except for the first monthly exam when school started, Fourth Middle School's subsequent exams assigned exam rooms based on rankings. Xue Yuantong, being first in his grade, hence took the first seat in exam room number one.

Jiang Ning, who was fourth in the last grade ranking, had the fourth seat in exam room number one.

Thinking she was three seats away from Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong felt it was a bit too far. She said,

"Jiang Ning, can you try a bit harder? You're almost falling behind me. Tonight, I'll teach you physics, and you're not allowed to sleep before midnight!"

"Of course. If you really can't learn it, next time I'll just... just score a few dozen points less so our exam room numbers match."

Jiang Ning flicked Xue Yuantong's forehead, "Next time, I'll try to score more."

"Hmph, you know what's good for you."

Watching the interaction between the two, Bai Yuxia felt a bit envious. In the time she had gotten to know them through casual chats, she knew that Jiang Ning rented a room in Xue Yuantong's house. They went to school and came home together, sharing study tips. She wished she had such a friend.

Dan Kaiquan told her, "You're in exam room number four, which is class four, just downstairs."

"Okay, I know." Bai Yuxia naturally knew where exam room number four was.

Dan Kaiquan was a bit frustrated; he really wanted to be in exam room number four with Bai Yuxia, ideally sitting in front of or behind her. That way, during the exam, he could take extra care of her.

He could help relieve her exam stress, buy her drinks, and look after her. She would surely be touched, right?

Girls always liked boys who took careful care of them, liked the warm, considerate guys.

Thinking this way, Dan Kaiquan set his goals clearly. Lately, his progress was noticeable, and he was confident he could place in the top ten of his class, no, top five.

In the last monthly test, Bai Yuxia ranked fourth in her class. If he managed to enter the top five, then there was a high chance he would be in the same room as Bai Yuxia.

Dan Kaiquan suddenly felt very confident, his mood ebbed and flowed with joy.

Even Jiang Ning, who usually had very good grades, no longer intimidated him. He felt he was the type to succeed later in life. Once he launched forward, he would become the legendary top student!

During the break in the evening self-study, Dan Kaiquan indulged in pleasant daydreams. Suddenly, Chen Qian from his class ran over with the results sheet:

"Bai Yuxia, we're in the same exam room. We'll meet up at class eight. Dong Qingfeng is in exam room number five right next to us; we'll all go to the exam together."

Bai Yuxia nodded, "Sure."

Chen Qian gave Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning a disdainful glance. He was well aware they were in exam room number one.

But so what?

Next time, he would be in exam room number one!

No one knew how hard Chen Qian had been working lately!

Chen Qian left fearlessly.

Seeing him like that, Dan Kaiquan felt a sour twinge in his heart: 'What's so great about that, just being in the same exam room as Bai Yuxia?'

'I even sit next to her!'

'Look at him acting all proud, just because he's the third in class eight? This exam, I'll surpass you!'
