Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 260 - 226 Making a Move

Guo Ran clarified, “Boss, you misunderstand, he’s just my student.”

Once she said this, the boss looked at them both with surprise and inspected the pair.

On the exterior, the boy was tall and handsome, the girl was pretty and sleek, they looked like a perfect match, walking together, obviously a couple.

This woman is something else, still ‘student’?

Who are you fooling!

The boss looked skeptical, but he was also a clever man, and with an insinuating tone, he said:

“I understand, I understand.”

These days, who doesn’t have their particular tastes?

Seeing this, Guo Ran added another line: “He really is my student.”

Leaving behind these words, she grabbed a teddy bear in one arm and took Jiang Ning by the other, leading him away from this ground of gossip.

Guo Ran knew that arguing with the old Jianghu like the boss was useless; it would only make things worse. There was no need, so she simply chose to leave.

Jiang Ning did not resist, letting Guo Ran lead the way.

As they walked away, the reaction of the surrounding customers began to disperse. Some girls withdrew their gazes from Jiang Ning and cast them onto their boyfriends, hoping they might perform the same skill they had just witnessed.

However, their boyfriends looked uneasy and uncertain.

The boss, watching the lively crowd, yelled:

“Don’t worry, folks, although the big bear’s been taken, I still have other toys, guaranteed to be just as good!”

Following Guo Ran, Jiang Ning went upstairs to the fourth floor and straight into a Chinese restaurant.

The giant bear Guo Ran was holding attracted strange glances from the waitstaff at the restaurant’s entrance.

They sat down at a square table, and Guo Ran pulled out two pieces of paper to wipe the chairs before placing the large bear on one, adding an odd presence to their table.

The waiter brought over menus, and Guo Ran asked:

“Do you want to order or shall I?”

Jiang Ning, unfamiliar with the place and being treated by his teacher, replied:

“You pick, it’s my first time here.”

Hearing this, Guo Ran skillfully browsed the menu:

“Then you can relax, I’ve got experience.”

…

River dam, bungalow.

Xue Yuantong didn’t wake up until eleven o’clock, rubbing her eyes and struggling to get up from bed.

Wearing slippers, she opened the curtains, and blinding light poured in, landing on her bed, her desk, and her pale little face, making it glow.

Her hair hung loose and a little messy.

“Mom!” Xue Yuantong called out.

No response.

Oh right, her mother was off today, gone back to the countryside, leaving her alone again.

‘Great, no food,’ Xue Yuantong thought with dismay.

But it didn’t matter, she had Jiang Ning.

Xue Yuantong changed into loose-fitting home clothes and, with her slippers, planned to knock on Jiang Ning’s door to call him out to have some fun.

Thinking this, she left her own house, turned left for a few steps, and arrived at her other home.

Just as Xue Yuantong was about to knock, she saw a padlock hanging from the door, mocking her in silence.

Xue Yuantong was disappointed and sighed softly, “Jiang Ning has run away again.”

Jiang Ning was always like this, disappearing every Saturday and Sunday, all secretive.

It was somewhat better now; before, not only on Saturdays and Sundays, but on weekday evenings, Jiang Ning would also go out, and she had no idea what he was up to.

She was so worried he might be in danger that she would wait for him to return before sleeping.

Xue Yuantong turned around and went back:

‘I’ll remember this and give Jiang Ning one less spoonful of rice next time.’

The sunshine was warm today, the yard feeling cozy, perfect for washing hair.

But without anyone to dry her hair, she no longer felt like it.

She pulled out her phone and shot Jiang Ning a message, telling him to come back early; if she didn’t see him by three o’clock, no, by two o’clock, he wouldn’t get anything nice to eat.

There was no helping it, Xue Yuantong was just that tough, after all, she held the kitchen spoon.

She ruled the house.

However, the sent message seemed to disappear into the abyss, receiving no reply at all.

‘The nerve, the nerve, Jiang Ning’s got nerve!’

‘Darn, to ignore me like this!’

Xue Yuantong clenched her teeth, thinking, ‘You think I can’t live well without you?’

She wandered into the kitchen, thinking of cooking something, but there weren’t many ingredients, and the thought of washing pots and dishes after eating exhausted her just by imagining it.

‘Forget it, I won’t eat.’

Xue Yuantong dragged a stool and sat listlessly at the doorstep, her elbow resting on her knee, her hand supporting her chin, hunched and silently gazing at the wide, flat fields.

The March wheat was lush and grass-like, bathed in comforting sunshine, and she really wanted to roll around in the fields.

But that would earn her a beating, and her clothes would end up green.

Besides, it was wheat planted with the hard work of the farmers.

Growing up in the countryside, Xue Yuantong spent her childhood there; during the busy farming season, her parents, not trusting her to stay home alone, would bring her to the fields.
