Rebirth and daily cultivation

It was a cold night.

Xue Chuchu played games at Tongtong's house until 11 o'clock in the evening, then pushed the door and left.

Jiang Ning checked Chuchu's game history, which was terrible, all 1-5, 1-6. What was outrageous was that she had won all the games in such a miserable state.

All the credit, of course, went to the invincible Tongtong.

Tongtong sat on the throne, her face serious, and continued to fight alone.

Jiang Ning stood up and walked to her side. Tongtong was playing games, and seemed to sense a strange breath. She turned back and glared at Jiang Ning with a vigilant look: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Ning raised half of his hand and slowed down. After all, he was not a bully.

"Do you want to eat grapefruit?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Yes!"

Jiang Ning fed her a piece of grapefruit, and then turned back. The screen of the mobile phone on the sofa lit up. It turned out to be a message from Chuchu.

Jiang Ning pondered: 'Sending me a message behind Tongtong's back? ’

He looked at the screen and saw a line of words: "Jiang Ning, thank you for your shoes, I like them very much (smile) (smile)."

Jiang Ning has a good aesthetic sense and chose classic shoes, pink and white sneakers, which are very versatile, and the texture and appearance are indeed impeccable.

Jiang Ning looked at Chuchu's death smile expression and was a little speechless. This expression is sometimes quite scary.

Faced with Chuchu's thanks, Jiang Ning tore off his disguise: "You went to Taobao with Tongtong last time and saw this pair of shoes. You were quite satisfied at that time, so I bought it for you specially."

The text he sent was very plain, but when Chuchu in the bedroom next door saw it, her heart was not calm.

She sat by the bed, a pair of white and tender feet, immersed in the hot water basin, gently stirring the water surface, startling delicate ripples, just like her mood at the moment.

Before going to bed in winter, soaking your feet in hot water will make you warmer. Xue Chuchu always does this every night.

"Thank you." Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, and the corners of her beautiful lips rose.

In the past, no one except her mother had ever bought her a gift. In recent years, every time her mother took her to buy clothes, she always refused, simply because she was afraid of wasting money.

But what girl doesn't like beautiful clothes?

Xue Chuchu didn't just ask for things. She had eaten a lot of snacks, fruits, and even barbecue sent by Boss Yang from Jiang Ning on weekdays. She didn't want to owe Jiang Ning too much.

Xue Chuchu responded: "I bought you a remote control boat from Taobao. It will arrive in the next two days. I should still be in the village at that time, so you need to pick up the courier yourself (smile) (smile)."

Jiang Ning was stunned after seeing the message. No way, are there girls who would give remote control boats?

This is really... so interesting... Who doesn't like remote control boats?

"Why do you want to give remote control boats?" Jiang Ning asked.

Xue Chuchu pointed out: "Your 'sea, land and air' only lacks boats."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he had remote control airplanes and remote control cars, and he really only lacked boats for launching.

Jiang Ning's consciousness spread and extended to Chuchu's small bedroom. She was smiling slightly.

'I'm so happy. 'Jiang Ning thought.

She is completely different from Tongtong. She seems to always want to be an independent girl and distance herself from herself.

It's time to let her see the power of a cultivator!

Jiang Ning thought about it and decided to push the envelope: "I like it very much. You are very good at choosing gifts."

"It's just that... although the remote control boat is good, the water is frozen now, and I guess I can't play it for the time being."

Xue Chuchu seemed to see Jiang Ning's regret through the text. At this moment, her feet that had just been warmed up seemed to be a little cold. What if she gave the wrong gift?

Jiang Ning immediately comforted: "But it doesn't matter. I know something called an inflatable pool that can be placed at home. If you have this, you can play with the remote control boat anytime and anywhere."

Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning's words and recalled the past. He was always so gentle, with a peaceful body and peace of mind.

He gave many times, but he never seemed to think about what she would give back.

But Xue Chuchu wanted to give back.

Xue Chuchu, who was cold, felt an inexplicable surge of heat in her heart. She responded: "I don't know what inflatable pool it is..."

The next second, Xue Chuchu transferred 220 yuan to Jiang Ning.

"I don't know if this money is enough. I still have 80 yuan left as my travel expenses. Try to buy an inflatable pool with this money (smile)."

After sending a message, Xue Chuchu was stunned. She stared at the message, unbelievable.

Just now, she suddenly overflowed with an indescribable impulse in her heart. It was guilt, gratitude, and the power of all kinds of emotions intertwined together made her want to do something for Jiang Ning, so she did this.

'I...' Xue Chuchu's face was slightly red, and her pair of white and delicate feet twisted in the basin, as if competing.

Jiang Ning had never expected that he would receive such a message, and he felt a little warm inexplicably.

'She is Chuchu? 'If it weren't for checking again and again with his spiritual sense, Jiang Ning almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.

Interesting…

‘It’s a pity that you are so generous. Doesn’t it seem like I’m forcing you? ’

Jiang Ning is not a person who wants to repay a favor.

The next second, Jiang Ning raised his lips and typed a reply: “It costs 10 yuan to take a bus from the city to Xinhong County, and 6 yuan to take a bus from Xinhong County to Humiao Town. The round-trip fare is 32 yuan in total. How about this, you transfer the remaining 48 yuan to me.”

The blush on Xue Chuchu’s face quickly faded, and her feet became cold again. She was confused: “Ah, you?”

…

February 9, early morning.

The sky has not yet completely broken free from the shackles of the night. There is only a hazy glimmer, a gentle transition between the morning light and the night.

A row of bungalows was built in the fields, the roofs were covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, and the cold air was raging.

In the cozy bedroom, Tongtong huddled under the warm quilt, sleeping comfortably without caring about the world.

Jiang Ning withdrew his observation consciousness and stopped paying attention to Tongtong. He pushed the door open and stood up. With a flick of his finger, he drew a stream of water from the water tank, turning it into a trickle and continuously surrounding his body.

Jiang Ning walked out of the rising steam, her whole body refreshed, and her hair style was more fixed than perming and dyeing.

He found Chu Chu's house and saw Chu Chu holding potatoes and preparing to peel them.

"You're disobedient." Jiang Ning blamed her.

Xue Chuchu put down the potatoes silently, embarrassed to speak.

After what happened last night, Jiang Ning confiscated her money as a joke, explained it to her, and finally told her to stop cooking this morning and go out for breakfast.

"Have you packed your things?" Jiang Ning asked.

Xue Chuchu: "I still need some clothes."

Jiang Ning: "Okay, let's go to the city after we're done. I know there's a pretty good breakfast shop."

"Well..." Chuchu said very little when Tongtong was away.

Ten minutes later, Xue Chuchu packed everything completely. She carried her bag and handbag.

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, she explained: "My cousin gave birth, and my mother bought her bird's nests, donkey-hide gelatin, and braised beef brought from the company, vacuum packed."

Jiang Ning nodded, expressing understanding.

Xue Chuchu followed him silently and stopped talking.

'This is too boring... too boring. ’ Jiang Ning thought.

He went out first, returned to his home, and pushed the titanium gray battery car out the door, its lights bright and cool.

Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu again. She was wearing a light blue down jacket, as light as the blue that had just emerged from the sky, and as clean as a student's unique innocence.

‘Yes, Chu Chu is an authentic female high school student. ’ Jiang Ning sighed.

What's even better is that besides this purity, Xue Chuchu always maintains a slight sense of alienation, which makes people feel even more out of reach.

Jiang Ning put her handbag in the car's storage box, then took Chu Chu to the city.

All the way to the west, gradually dawn.

Jiang Ning said: "You are pretty good, you get up so early every day to cook."

The key is that the food is pretty good, with stir-fried dishes almost every meal.

The shame from last night has faded a lot. Xue Chuchu said: "You're just used to it, aren't you?"

Jiang Ning: "How could I get up so early when I went to school? I just want to sleep more. A bowl of instant noodles every morning is enough."

The oncoming wind ruffled Chu Chu's hair. She lifted a few strands of hair from her forehead and said in a pure voice: "You and Tong Tong are somewhat similar, but she changed later."

Jiang Ning: "Huh?"

Xue Chuchu recounted the past: "We had morning reading classes in elementary school. In winter, it was still early in the morning and we often had to go to school. Tongtong always ate instant noodles in the morning. When Aunt Gu saw it, she blamed her for eating indiscriminately. It was too unhealthy. Decided to cook for her."

Jiang Ning: "Oh? Didn't Tongtong team up with you later?"

Xue Chuchu pursed her lips: "Aunt Gu made a lot of delicious food for Tongtong on the first day. She fried shredded edamame and pork, boiled eggs, fried scallion pancakes, and stewed meatball soup."

Jiang Ning: "Aunt Gu is amazing."

Xue Chuchu: "It was actually okay once. Later, Aunt Gu got up early for two months in a row and cooked delicious food for Tongtong every day. As for Tongtong, she got up later every time, and her taste became more and more picky..."

Jiang Ning thought of that scene and smiled: "I guess Aunt Gu must regret it very much."

In the winter, it’s around 5 o’clock every day. It’s so torturous to get up early to cook.

Xue Chuchu: "Well, then she got sick and bought instant noodles for Tongtong again."

Jiang Ning was happy.

After this chat, the strangeness between Jiang Ning and Chu Chu was eliminated, and they actually started chatting about small things in life. Unknowingly, they arrived at the old street in the city.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning stopped the battery car that Xue Chuchu realized that her whole body was actually warm, not at all the coldness she usually felt when riding a bike.

While she was surprised, her eyes moved to the breakfast shop on the street. As the lid of the pot was opened, a stream of steam rose up, and the aroma of steamed buns came out.

Jiang Ning said: "The taste of Huangji's fried buns is quite good."

They got up very early, but there was still a long queue in front of the breakfast shop.

Jiang Ning also lined up. At the front of the queue, the boss was wearing work clothes and standing in front of the boiler. He dug out a ladle of water, poured it into the pot, then covered the pot with the lid, and turned the sides of the pot rhythmically with his hands. His movements were very rhythmic. Feeling, quite exciting.

From time to time, a hungry customer shouts: "Boss, when will it be ready?"

"Alright now! Alright now!"

When he arrived at Jiang Ning, he ordered fried buns worth 6 yuan and two bowls of egg soup.

The proprietress grabbed the bowl with one hand and the eggs with the other. She skillfully broke the eggs and stirred them evenly.

Finally, pick up a big spoon, scoop out a spoonful of bone soup, raise it slightly, and pour it into the bowl. The soup is rich in ingredients, including fungus, thousands of strips, minced meat... and finally sprinkle with coriander.

Jiang Ning disliked the fact that the room was too stuffy, so she sat down at the outdoor table outside.

Xue Chuchu was wiping the table and stools. Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the spiritual energy passed through them, cleaning them again, and heating the stools at the same time.

The two of them gathered around the dining table facing the morning sun. Jiang Ning took a sip of soup. It was fresh and hot in the winter, and her whole body warmed up.

He picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the fried buns on the plate next to him.

Xue Chuchu found that the fried buns looked very nice, with a layer of golden crispy skin at the bottom and white dough on top.

She took a bite, blew on it, bit it down, and heated it, then it was soft and fragrant, and then it was filled with beef vermicelli filling.

Jiang Ning saw her elegant eating and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xue Chuchu: "Yes, delicious."

Jiang Ning picked up the bun and dipped it in the fried chili noodles: "It's a good experience to come out for breakfast occasionally."

Of course, if you buy and eat outside every day, you will get tired of it.

In his previous life, Jiang Ning often ate breakfast outside, mostly alone. Now that he brought Chuchu with him, it was a different kind of beauty, and it was a different experience from bringing Tongtong with him.

Because it was on the roadside, people came and went.

Xue Chuchu was a pretty girl, so she was naturally looked at by people, but no one came up to disturb her. Jiang Ning deliberately chose a small table for two to avoid sharing the table with others.

At the end of breakfast, Xue Chuchu ate four buns, more than Jiang Ning. She felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to pay the bill.

The two young people who had been playing games all night saw this scene and looked at Jiang Ning's eyes, and they were a little shocked and admired.

Jiang Ning was bathed in the envy of others, with a faint smile on his lips.

When Xue Chuchu paid, Jiang Ning rode his cool electric car and disappeared from everyone's sight.

He stopped again in front of the bus station.

"Tuxian, Tuxian!" Two black car drivers shouted at the intersection.

Xue Chuchu never took this kind of car. First, the price was relatively expensive. Second, the staff was complicated, and there were often three people squeezed in the back seat. She couldn't guarantee that all the people she met were good people.

She and Jiang Ning walked straight to the ticket hall. Xue Chuchu stopped, her eyes were clear and moving, and she seemed reluctant: "Okay, Jiang Ning, you go back."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Well, be careful on the road."

In between words, his consciousness touched the protective jade pendant on Xue Chuchu's chest, which was full of spiritual power, enough to deal with crises in daily life.

Thinking of the jade pendant and the bunny bracelet that Tongtong had repeatedly strengthened... Jiang Ning pinched out a spell, drew out 20% of his magic power, and popped out a temporary protective magic circle, which was engraved around Chuchu.

With such a spell to protect her body, even if the bus was hit by two large trucks, she would be unharmed. If someone had ill intentions, the magic circle would also trigger a killing reaction.

‘From Yuzhou City to Humiao Town, it is about 65 kilometers. With the speed of the spirit boat, it can be reached within 5 minutes. Even if the magic circle kills dozens of people, I can easily cover it up. ” Jiang Ning thought so.

Xue Chuchu had no idea about this. She took a few steps forward and merged into the crowd. Finally, she couldn't help looking back.

Jiang Ning stood at the door of the hall and looked at her quietly.

Xue Chuchu felt inexplicably at ease. A faint smile bloomed on her face, melting away the coldness and revealing a hint of sweetness.
