Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 40 – Chapter 40 Chapter 40 How Can I Be Discerned

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 How Can I Be Discerned Chapter 40: Chapter 40 How Can I Be Discerned Wednesday afternoon, Class 8 classroom.

Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a three-day break. This afternoon there were only two classes.

And they weren't core classes, one was a chemistry class, and the other was a physical education class.

As a result, the students were extremely excited.

Xue Yuantong, who rarely showed up early, arrived very early today. Class started at 2:20, but she dragged Jiang Ning there by 1:30.

After arriving at the classroom, Xue Yuantong didn't come over to Jiang Ning's side. She usually just played in her little corner.

Jiang Ning was standing by her seat, looking out at the campus scenery through the window.

“Hey, Jiang Ning, you're here early today?” Guo Kunnan greeted, carrying a bulging backpack.

Dan Kaiquan was next to him, also holding a big backpack.

Jiang Ning knew they planned to leave for home immediately after the two classes without returning to the dorm, so they brought all their luggage at once to leave right after school.

It was like in Jiang Ning's past life, when even in university, students would bring their suitcases to class before a holiday and go straight to the airport afterward.

“Nothing much today,” Jiang Ning replied.

Guo Kunnan came over and shyly asked,
“Jiang Ning, do you have any money? Could I borrow ten bucks? I'll pay you back next week.”

He had overspent his allowance this week and didn't have enough left to travel home. Guo Kunnan had tried borrowing from people in the dorm, but his roommates were even poorer than he was.

Guo Kunnan knew Jiang Ning used an iPhone, so he figured he must have some money and asked for a loan.

Jiang Ning pulled out his wallet, took out a ten-yuan bill, and handed it to Guo Kunnan.

Seeing the inside of Jiang Ning's wallet, which held a thick stack of red bills amounting to at least two or three thousand yuan, Guo Kunnan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. He hadn't expected Jiang Ning to be so loaded; that money could cover his living expenses for a whole semester.

“Thanks, I'll definitely pay you back next week,” Guo Kunnan said gratefully.

Jiang Ning smiled and didn't mind. In his past life, whether it was during school or out in the world, there were always people who borrowed money without returning it. Although the amounts were small, just tens or hundreds of yuan, it was still annoying.

This lifetime, he reckoned no one in the class would dare borrow money from him and not pay it back.

It was well known that Jiang Ning was the top fighter in Class 8, Year 1…
Classmates gradually filled the classroom. A certain girl caught Jiang Ning's attention when she entered the class. It was Chen Siyu—no, it should be Chen Siqing.

At the beginning of the term, these twins had swapped identities for fun, but unfortunately, Jiang Ning had easily seen through their ruse.

The two girls had behaved for over ten days. Unexpectedly, today they had switched places again.

Chen Siqing walked into the class, and instinctively glanced toward the corner, meeting Jiang Ning's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head.

‘So strange, did he recognize me?' she wondered.

Then she quickly dismissed the thought. Today she had specifically worn her sister's clothes, styled her hair like her sister's, and even purposely mimicked her sister's habits. The sisters were identical, and after refining the details, it was impossible to be discovered!

Chen Siqing comforted herself in this way and gradually regained her confidence.

For the past few days, her sister had been talking about how the class had gotten a new and very good-looking chemistry teacher, sparking her curiosity. Moreover, her sister had mentioned the handsome Huang Zhongfei. She had only seen him from a distance and hadn't had the chance to take a closer look.

After over ten days of holding back, Chen Siqing couldn't resist switching roles any longer.

She imitated her sister's expressions and casually greeted the classmates around her. Even her desk mate did not realize she wasn't Chen Siyu.

The classroom gradually filled, and the chemistry teacher, Guo Ran, entered. Chen Siqing stared at her intently. As her sister had said, she really was very beautiful. In her whole life, she hadn't seen such a good-looking teacher before!

Even though she was a girl, it didn't stop Chen Siqing from appreciating beautiful women—a lot of girls actually enjoyed looking at beautiful women.

After one class ended, Chen Siqing felt she had integrated more into the class, feeling like a fish in water.

She handled her sister's usual social circle, even the girls she usually chatted with, without anyone noticing anything amiss. Consequently, Chen Siqing developed a sense of loneliness.

This feeling magnified, prompting Chen Siqing to try something more challenging.

With the end of chemistry class, the final class of the afternoon was PE.

During the break, classmates hurried to the playground, especially those in the back rows, almost all of them leaving.

The classroom was half-empty.

Jiang Ning stopped cultivating. He took a pair of ping pong paddles from his desk.

The Fourth Middle School playground had several ping pong tables. In his previous life, Jiang Ning loved playing ping pong and was quite skilled. Now, coming back to the first PE class, he had bought paddles early, intending to relive his youthful days.

Just then, a girl suddenly approached him.

Chen Siqing looked up at Jiang Ning, her heart filled with timidity and stubbornness.

Why approach Jiang Ning?

No other reason, really. When you fall, you must get back up.

Though Chen Siqing appeared quiet, inside she held her unique firmness. Just in the earlier class, no one had noticed anything amiss, proving she hid well today.

Thus, she, Chen Siqing, wanted to regain her lost dignity!

Jiang Ning, how could you possibly tell us apart?

She stood facing Jiang Ning, the two less than half a meter apart. Their eyes met, and Chen Siqing could clearly see her reflection in Jiang Ning's pupils.

Gathering all her courage, she said, “Jiang Ning, can I play ping pong with you in PE class?”

She seldom invited boys. Even though some had pursued her in junior high, she had rejected all of them. Now, proactively inviting Jiang Ning was a rare bold move for her, her face turning red.

At fifteen or sixteen, though girls might have many thoughts, when it came to real situations, they were still so weak.

Jiang Ning gave her an amused stare.

He didn't expose her.

He replied, “Sorry, I've already got plans. Maybe next time.”

With those words, Chen Siqing stood frozen. Jiang Ning truly hadn't distinguished her from her sister. Logically, she should have been happy she had reclaimed her prior standing.

But she hadn't expected Jiang Ning would actually refuse her.

Aside from when she was a child, she rarely made such requests to boys. After so many years, it was the first time she invited the opposite sex.

Was she not attractive, or had the twin allure faded?

The subtle joy from not being discovered when they swapped roles quickly vanished, replaced by a sense of defeat.

Chen Siqing's emotions fluctuated, and so did her expression.

Just then, a girl's voice sounded beside her, “Shen Qing'e, going to the playground?”

Yu Wen noticed Shen Qing'e staring at Jiang Ning.

Just before, she and Shen Qing'e were about to leave through the back door, passing by here. Jiang Ning's and Chen Siyu's conversation was loud and clear to them.

Yu Wen found it strange that Chen Siyu, who was good-looking, couldn't get Jiang Ning to join her game.

What made Jiang Ning dare to refuse?

Besides being good at fighting, in other aspects, he was not outstanding in the class, lagging behind likes of Huang Zhongfei, Dong Qingfeng, and Chen Qian.

Moreover, he sat at the back and was always mixing with those people, clearly not a good student.

If Chen Siyu liked him, it had to be said, she really had short-sighted judgment.

Shen Qing'e looked at Jiang Ning for two seconds, her expression calm, then said to Yu Wen,
“Mm, let's go.”
