Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1660 - 904: Convergence of Time and Space (Part 2)
Zhang Ruyun finally couldn’t take it anymore, and he pulled out his phone: "Auntie, take a closer look and see who really injured your dog!"
Then, Mrs. Chen saw in the video that the Cayenne was reversing, while her Doudou was barking behind the car, seemingly saying ’I haven’t gotten in yet!’
The Cayenne didn’t stop, continued reversing, and rolled over the Dogo’s hind legs.
Mrs. Chen suddenly realized: "So it was my husband who reversed and ran over it!"
Shocked, disbelieving, angry, feeling sorry for her beloved dog, frustrated by her own unreasonable clown-like behavior, upset by her husband’s carelessness, all kinds of emotions flooded into Mrs. Chen’s heart, and she screamed, rushing to tear and beat Director Han.
Director Han was caught off guard, scratched all over his face with nails, and was soon pulled down, the couple rolling into a tussle.
Their younger son, Han Chen, anxiously shouted from the side: "Dad, Mom!"
Mr. Qian sighed: "It’s really a case of water flooding the Dragon King’s temple, family members fighting among themselves!"
Jiang Ning glanced at Tongtong: "Laugh out loud if you feel like it."
...
Director Han’s family left, bringing quite a bit of laughter to the river dam.
After lunch, Xue Yuantong routinely carried his hands behind his back, ready to sneak to the door to bask in the sun.
Aunt Gu glanced at her daughter, pondering: ’If she basks in the sun every day, what if she gets tanned? It won’t look good if she’s so dark, and no one will want her.’
Aunt Gu pondered for a moment, and said: "You eat to your fill then sleep, sleep to your fill then eat, you’re going to die of laziness!"
Xue Yuantong stopped her joyful steps, retorting: "Hmph, I’ve grown this big, never heard of anyone dying of laziness, only of exhaustion."
Her little mouth kept on: "I don’t understand why everyone dislikes lazy people, clearly we lazy people haven’t done anything!"
Aunt Gu frowned: "I say one sentence, you respond with eight, right?"
Xue Yuantong: "Mom, you don’t understand, generally lazy people have a rich inner world and active thinking, so lazy people are much smarter than ordinary people because they often spend time thinking, while others pass through life in stupor... The reason lazy people..."
Xue Yuantong grew more enthusiastic as she spoke, finally waving her tiny pink fist shouting: "We just don’t want to be controlled, we want to resist authority, we won’t do what we don’t want to do, true freedom!"
Gradually, her voice softened, finally saying: "Alright, Mom, my eight sentences are over."
Aunt Gu weighed the rolling pin, gently said: "Tongtong, can you wash the dishes?"
Xue Yuantong obediently: "Okay, my best mom."
Xue Yuantong began her busy afternoon.
Aunt Gu has an afternoon nap habit.
After washing dishes and sweeping the floor, Xue Yuantong quietly sneaked to her mom’s bedside, whispering devilishly:
"Mom, I’ll always be watching you."
"Mom, I won’t let you go."
"Mom, I’ll always follow you, forever."
"Mom, why aren’t you answering me?"
After her mental victory, Xue Yuantong ran to find Jiang Ning next door for fun.
On the bed, Aunt Gu opened her eyes, she hadn’t slept at all, silently memorizing this trick, planning to use it on Tongtong the next day.
...
In the afternoon, Chen Siyu, having defeated the professional player Nie Ze, solemnly invited Tongtong to play a round of man-machine.
Tongtong thought, if the rookie player Siyu can beat a professional player, then if she goes, wouldn’t she also easily defeat a professional player?
She hid her little thoughts, choosing to team up with Chen Siyu, feigning cooperation, ready to test her value.
Chen Siyu had improved, she started choosing Sword Saint to jungle, Tongtong played Yasuo in the mid lane.
As she faced off against the dumb AI, she switched screens, secretly watching the foolish Siyu.
Chen Siyu was jungling.
Tongtong noticed a blind spot: "Siyu, why aren’t you attacking the little Stone Beetle?"
Stone Beetles are wild monsters in the canyon, when jungling you definitely need to attack them, or else your development won’t be strong enough.
Chen Siyu’s indifferent voice came from the speakers: "The little Stone Beetle is too short, even if you kill it, you don’t gain much experience."
Xue Yuantong stiffened her little face.
Jiang Ning: "What’s wrong, not happy playing the game?"
Xue Yuantong didn’t answer, quietly finishing the game, and logged out.
Jiang Ning didn’t play with her, as usual, he was checking the chat group of Class 8. With a few days left before school starts, perhaps missing each other after a long separation, the students became much more active.
Class monitor Xin Youling lamented, ’The atmosphere in our Class 8 is really great!’
Pang Jiao shared a photo of a half-eaten apple in the group, saying: "Oh dear, my appetite has been so small lately, just one apple and I’m full."
Jiang Yanan asked: "Pang Jiao, is your appetite really that small? When I’m on a diet, I can eat a whole apple."
Wang Yan Yan: "Jiaojiao is also on a diet recently, although she’s not fat."
Lu Qiqi: "Really? Such a small appetite?"
Pang Jiao, through the screen, saw the slim girls in the class marveling at her appetite. Her broad face couldn’t help but show a beastly grin, with acne blooming wildly like a vitality full of life.
"Oh my, you all made me feel shy with your compliments, sob sob sob." Pang Jiao’s hand, short and stubby like a pig’s trotter covered with black fuzz, knocked on the phone screen making a loud noise.
Liu Chuandao laughed heartily at his phone: "As Pang Jiao’s former desk mate, I must clarify, before she ate half an apple, she already ate ten corns."
Cui Yu: "Former says it right (thumbs up)"
Wu Xiaoqi: "Before the ten corns, there’s no way it didn’t involve a big plate of braised pork."
Cui Yu: "Confirmed by the previous previous desk mate."
Pang Jiao’s originally bright face was now covered by a cloud as she held her phone.
Meng Gui: "Then what about Song Sheng?"
Cui Yu: "The current one (crying laughing)"
Song Sheng, who was secretly watching the conversation, twitched at the corner of his mouth, now being Pang Jiao’s desk mate.
He only wished he could step forward and clarify, but the more he clarified the messier it got. Anyway, with the new term, seating would be rearranged and he would be free!
Guo Kunnan: "Haha, who else was Pang Jiao’s desk mate?"
Meng Gui: "Gangzi, he swapped seats with Wu Xiaoqi at that time."
Duan Shigang was watching the chat without expecting to be named, but luckily, with Wu Xiaoqi, Liu Chuandao, and Song Sheng being such great role models, his status wasn’t that prominent.
Guo Kunnan: "What status does Gangzi hold?"
Cui Yu: "The third wheel."
Duan Shigang: "Damn!"
Yu Wen recalled something, startled: "And there’s Miao Zhe!"
Miao Zhe was also watching, and he immediately remembered those unbearable days, but luckily, he wasn’t the third wheel, just one of Pang Jiao’s many run-of-the-mill desk mates.
Unsurprisingly, Cui Yu said: "Why mention Miao Zhe, that was where the dream started, he was the first love."
...
Afternoon, four-thirty, sunset.
The days were still short, and Jiang Ning was no longer the office worker who left in the morning twilight and returned home under the evening sky.
At this moment, he sat on a small stool, quietly appreciating the magnificent winter sunset like an oil painting, spending the best years of his life.
Beside him, Xue Yuantong held an iPad mini 2, engrossed in watching a video.
This tablet was bought by Jiang Ning the year before last. Last year, Apple Company released the mini 3, but the upgrade was minimal, so Jiang Ning wasn’t bothered to change it.
Jiang Ning glanced over, Tongtong was watching a game promo video, with dazzling and gorgeous visuals, a 2.5D ARPG game called ’Jubao.’
This was the newly developed game by Lei Ya Game Studio, the company known for the famous mobile game ’Deemo.’
To be fair, if ’Jubao’ were put on a console platform, it would only be a very ordinary game, totally not on the level of contemporaries like ’The Last of Us’ or ’Bloodborne.’
But because it’s on the mobile platform, it’s quite popular. In his previous life, Jiang Ning had looked forward to it for a long time, as back then, he didn’t own his computer or console, only a Redmi smartphone worth 699 yuan.
Jiang Ning looked at Tongtong, her eyelashes fluttered adorably.
He couldn’t help but wonder if the Xue Yuantong of his previous life would have played this game with him?
It’s a pity, unless time could be reversed, getting the answer would be difficult.
Jiang Ning didn’t ask about the past, only about the present: "What do you think of this game?"
Tongtong commented: "Feels... not as distinct as their ’Deemo’."
Jiang Ning smiled leisurely: "Deemo, indeed a very good game."
The clouds on the horizon remained splendid, and the two chitchatted with each other.
Their hearts were untroubled, as time slowly flowed by.
