Wang Longlong clenched his fist: "You need to learn to overcome yourself."

Guo Kunnan asked: "How can I overcome myself?"

This question was too profound, and Wang Longlong couldn't explain it well for the moment.

Seeing their silence, Guo Kunnan said dejectedly: "Forget it, I've come to realize that my life will just be like this."

"People like us from the countryside, there's not much future for us."

Ma Shicheng comforted him: "Don't overthink it."

Wang Longlong: "Don't give up on yourself, Brother Nan, I believe there will come a day when you will 'make a name for yourself.'

Ma Shicheng reminded: "You got it wrong, it's 'stand on your own two feet.'

Wang Longlong laughed: "No, it should be 'the earth underfoot.'

Ma Shicheng: "Isn't it 'rise from the ground'?"

Guo Kunnan: "…"

He was too tired.

...

Evening self-study, big break.

Xue Yuantong and the twins, Bai Yuxia and Yang Sheng, went out of school together to buy food.

Jiang Ning didn't go, but he wasn't worried about them. He was well aware that Yang Sheng was a girl who carried a knife.

Jiang Ning walked to the east corridor, enjoying the night breeze and overlooking the students playing badminton in the east square.

Zhuang Jianhui originally planned to come here to relax and had just stepped out of the classroom when he noticed Jiang Ning standing there.

Zhuang Jianhui's expression changed slightly; after all, they had some conflicts and couldn't get past that hurdle in their hearts, so he silently turned back to his class.

With the absence of others' interference, Jiang Ning enjoyed the prime spot alone.

He stood quietly, letting the gentle night wind tousle his hair as his Divine Sense expanded, seeing the teaching building for senior students where many were buried under piles of books with heavy dark circles, intensely working on their exam papers.

He saw in the campus corner two boys together smoking, discussing playing a game of LOL at night.

He saw in the No. 4 Art Building some girls moving gracefully as butterflies, their budding forms dancing.

He also saw in the vast square students chasing and playing, laughing and shouting.

These were all colors of youth; aside from the heavy learning tasks, high school was probably the best time.

It filtered the hooligans of middle school and had not yet entered the reality after university; everyone stood on a relatively fair line.

Jiang Ning just quietly observed all this, letting his mind relax, avoiding thoughts of adult disputes over interests, cunning schemes, heartless human interactions.

At the 8th class classroom door, Guo Kunnan felt utterly melancholic. He looked at Cui Yu, Meng Gui laughing and joking on the balcony but chose not to join them.

Because their laughter felt harsh to Guo Kunnan, his Dao Heart stirred uncomfortably, and he only wanted to hide in the shadows.

So, Guo Kunnan came to the east corridor.

He leaned against the balcony, gazing at the students playing badminton in the square below, the wind slightly swaying the shuttlecock.

"Sigh!" Guo Kunnan sighed deeply.

Jiang Ning glanced at him but said nothing.

Guo Kunnan suddenly asked: "Jiang Ning, how did you practice your magic? It must have taken a lot of time, right?"

Jiang Ning's magic performance on New Year's Eve last year had shocked the whole class, and he regretted not recording it with his phone.

Jiang Ning thought about the difficulty of Cultivation and said: "Indeed, it took a really long time."

Guo Kunnan showed an expression of "just as expected."

Guo Kunnan remembered when they first started high school, Jiang Ning wasn't tall, and his studies weren't great; it was said he only scored over 640 in his entrance exam, which was just about even with him.

Guo Kunnan was suddenly struck by the thought that perhaps Jiang Ning had gone through a transformation like Dan Kaiquan, which had turned him into who he was today.

What could make a man undergo such a significant transformation?

It must be the stimulation from some girl!

Guo Kunnan seemed to have discovered a big secret!

After having this hunch, he made up his mind, he did slightly understand the art of conversation.

So, facing the deep night, he started to tell a story: "Once, I had a girl with whom I got along really well, we chatted during the day, at night, and into the late night, we used couple avatars, said goodnight to each other, she said she would always be with me, but in the end, she still left me, disappearing into the crowd."

Finished speaking, Guo Kunnan thought of Manman, his expression grew even sadder, and he asked: "Have you ever had similar regretful experiences before?"

Among high school students, they weren't as indifferent as adults; often, after one person openly shared their feelings, the other classmate with some self-awareness would also speak similar words.

Unlike later in the workforce, where colleagues gather to discuss salaries, and after you speak up, others would respond vaguely or not at all.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, and in the deep night, he said: "Indeed, there was a time when I felt very desolate, lost in everyday life, listless."

That was three months before his previous life's college entrance exam, with Shen Qing'e's utter indifference, the immense pressure of exams, and the suffocating feeling of living under someone else's roof, which left Jiang Ning extremely out of sorts.

"At that time, there was a girl in the neighboring class; she had excellent grades and was very pretty. Every time I saw her ponytail bounce, I'd feel much better, though I never had any other thoughts, because back then…"

Jiang Ning thought to this point and became silent; his own life at that time was on the brink of collapse, so how could he talk about the future?

Guo Kunnan listened, and also sighed, patting Jiang Ning on the shoulder, he said: "I understand that feeling, ordinary people like us, even if we try our best…"

He thought of Xu Yan, thought of Lu Yaya, and even thought of Xin Youling now.

Where his thoughts lingered, there was only sadness, yet fortunately, he had his flawless Dao Heart, which rotated and instantly repaired!
