Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1668 - 908: Princess, Your…

The dinner gathering came to an end.

Dong Qingfeng settled the bill. Eight people, totaling 500 yuan, about 60 yuan per person, not too expensive but not cheap either.

The boss gifted a can of Red Bull. Dong Qingfeng casually handed it to Cui Yu.

Cui Yu was delighted. Giving him five yuan may not matter much, but receiving a can of Red Bull felt quite significant, increasing his fondness for Dong Qingfeng by one point.

Dong Qingfeng paused at the doorway. Behind him was the aroma of barbecue and the cheerful conversations of the guests. Ahead, outside the door, snow was flying endlessly, the road covered in a layer of white snow, which had been trampled into a jumble by pedestrians. He didn’t feel cold; instead, he felt rather warm.

Dong Qingfeng was an old Yuzhou person now. Over the past year, Yuzhou City had become increasingly prosperous, which was quite nice.

He glanced at a few male classmates and asked, "Are you guys going to Meng Gui’s house later?"

Guo Kunnan said, "No, we’re going to the internet café to play some games, then stay up and go to the big bathhouse to sleep until morning."

"Sounds good, quite carefree." Dong Qingfeng praised, even though he liked to travel alone, he always stayed in hotels and couldn’t stand the life of a wanderer.

Guo Kunnan, hearing this, immediately threw aside the lesson he just learned from Brother Ma. He also felt this kind of life was good. Playing games online with good friends, eating out at a big feast, soaking in the big bathhouse, you’d never be lonely.

One after another, the groups stepped out of the Korean-style barbecue restaurant. The cold wind brushed their cheeks, bringing a chill that instantly made them appreciate the charm of winter.

Dong Qingfeng was just about to lament how cold it was when his gaze suddenly froze. He saw the streetlamp through the snowy curtain, emitting a soft yet hazy halo. A girl in a light blue down jacket stood in the snow, appearing to reflect the surrounding light.

"Xue Chuchu!" Dong Qingfeng couldn’t help but say aloud.

The next second, he indeed saw Jiang Ning buying things at the stall.

Jiang Ning held a stick of strawberry candy haw, which was made of fresh strawberries covered in sugar to suppress their acidity. It tasted quite good.

Tongtong was biting into a strawberry candy haw, and she noticed Dong Qingfeng and his group too. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

So she nudged Jiang Ning.

Without haste, Jiang Ning said to the stall owner, "Give me thirty yuan worth of candy haws."

Xue Yuantong, delighted, playfully scolded, "Jiang Ning, buying so many candy haws isn’t good for your teeth!"

Jiang Ning replied, "It’s fine, buy them."

Xue Yuantong was pleased.

The boss swiftly packed the strawberry candy haws, ten yuan for four small sticks, totaling twelve sticks.

After buying the candy haws, Jiang Ning picked up his pace and walked over to the group.

Guo Kunnan immediately greeted, "What a coincidence, Brother Ning!"

He lamented, "We were just eating barbecue. If we’d seen you earlier, we could’ve invited you."

Jiang Ning said, "Hmm, we just finished eating as well."

Xue Yuantong, with Chuchu, snuggled up next to Jiang Ning.

Meng Zi Yun glanced several times at Xue Chuchu, suppressing the wave in her heart. She usually felt very confident about her looks, but at this moment, she didn’t dare speak loudly.

With this thought, she used her peripheral vision to look at the classically stylish Zhou Jinglan.

Zhou Jinglan was lost for a moment and then, collecting herself, directly looked at Jiang Ning, saying, "Hello."

Xue Yuantong examined Jiang Ning. When had he befriended other girls behind her back?

Jiang Ning offered the strawberry candy haws. "Whoever sees it gets a share."

Meng Zi Yun was surprised and quickly said, "Thank you!"

In the class, she felt Jiang Ning had a bit of arrogance, or perhaps not arrogance, but a kind of uniqueness, nonchalant. She didn’t expect to eat candy haws he offered today.

If it wasn’t for considering the people around her, she even felt like taking a photo to post on social media for some bragging rights!

Strawberry candy haw, it’s loved by big men too. Dong Qingfeng’s group, each took a stick, eating candy haw, chatting, was indeed a rare experience.

Only Tongtong felt a bit hurt, as she thought Jiang Ning bought them all for her!

After distributing to 8 people, there were only 4 sticks left.

’Thirty yuan, enough for Dongdong to work for quite a while...’

Combined with the previous 150 yuan barbecue and the 10 yuan candy haw earlier, Dongdong’s day’s wages weren’t enough.

Ever since Yuantong started earning money on her own, every time she spent money, she always calculated in her mind how long Dongdong would have to work hard to earn it.

However, though she felt distressed, she wasn’t stingy.

Zhou Jinglan took a bite of strawberry. It was very sweet, but her mood wasn’t quite sweet.

A group of teenagers, with snow flying above their heads, strolled along the street.

Previously, Dong Qingfeng paid for the gathering, later Jiang Ning spent money, and Guo Kunnan felt embarrassed, always benefiting from others.

Guo Kunnan wasn’t stingy. He saw a young female college student with a stall, so he splurged and bought ten servings of coconut milk lotus seed hot sweet soup.

"Brother Jun, don’t want any?" Upon handing it to Hu Jun, Guo Kunnan saw he was fiddling with his phone.

Hu Jun said, "Brother Nan, hold it for me, my mom is calling."

Hu Jun wore a black down jacket, very stylish, showing the charm of a mature man.

Guo Kunnan thought with Hu Jun’s traditional taste, he definitely couldn’t have chosen this style himself. Undoubtedly, it must have been bought by his girlfriend.

Guo Kunnan secretly envied.

"Mom, oh, are you looking for me? I’m playing in the city!"

"What? Go home? Not going home!"

"What? You want to talk to her? No worries, I’ll send you the WeChat." Hu Jun hung up the call in a few words.

Guo Kunnan was confused, "Brother Jun, do you dare to tell your mom about your girlfriend?"

For high school students like them, such a matter is quite defiant, one didn’t dare, two felt embarrassed.

Hu Jun shook his down jacket and calmly said, "There’s nothing to it. My parents don’t expect me to achieve academic excellence, they just hope I can find a good partner in high school, so they won’t worry about me later and can save on the bride price money."

Beside him, Wang Longlong lowered his voice, "Darn, not just the bride price money? Save on child-rearing costs too."
