Small Town Rebirth: Starting From Birth

On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...

Chapter 245 Power Outage

"Chen Bing's family must be very rich, right?" After recalling the other party's usual food, clothing and daily necessities, Han Xingyue recounted, "She can buy all kinds of expensive snacks whenever she wants and eat them whenever she wants, and she often shares them with the people around her."

Another point is that the clothes she's wearing are of very high quality and don't look cheap.

Moreover, he was using Huawei's latest Mate 30 Pro phone, which cost seven or eight thousand yuan when it first came out. He didn't just have that one phone; I'd also seen him with the latest iPhone before, which cost ten thousand yuan.

“Hmm… I heard that the Blue Sky Hotel in the county belongs to his family.” After Han Xingyue finished speaking, Zhang Anran quietly added from the side.

"My God, that huge building belongs to his family? Could they be the richest family in the county?"

"Possibly."

Well, envy is envy, and jealousy is jealousy. But when the label of being the richest person, which sounds so distant, is attached to a classmate, everyone is surprised, but the envy is much less.

...

"I'm going to break up with him right now!" Han Xingyue suddenly said to Zhang Anran, perhaps provoked. The "he" she was referring to was Ding Chengxin.

Zhang Anran didn't try to persuade him further, because she felt that the other person wouldn't regret it later.

Unaware that he had unintentionally ruined a relationship, the rich second-generation young master Chen was currently playing Three Kingdoms Kill with several boys in the back row of the classroom.

Actually, he didn't want to come. After all, it was much more comfortable to watch a movie with the fragrant and soft Shang Yunmiao than to play cards with a bunch of smelly and loud guys who had just finished playing basketball.

But there was nothing he could do. Song Ze and Wen Xin seemed to be working together; one invited Xiao Shang to chat, and the other asked him to play cards. What could he do?

The only way is to first play a "Nanman Invasion" card to force everyone to play "Kill" cards, and then trigger "Huang Yueying's" skill to draw cards. After that, you can launch a "Duel" against the guy who seems to be a "Loyal Minister", successfully reduce his health by one point, and then play another "Nanman Invasion" card.

After a series of maneuvers, some players were killed and others were injured. Finally, the resourceful Chen Bing calmly took the three cards awarded for killing the "rebels," and using the "Zhuge Repeating Crossbow" he had already equipped, he systematically harvested the heads of the players on the field, ultimately achieving a decisive victory.

Great! That's so much fun!

I love the game "Three Kingdoms Kill".

Chen Bing, who has a great feel for the game, had a lot of fun today and kept saying she wanted to play a few more rounds with everyone.

The group, unwilling to admit defeat, readily agreed, and another exhilarating Three Kingdoms Kill game began.

Just then, as they were engrossed in playing cards and chatting happily, and the movie being shown on the multimedia screen reached its climax—the male and female leads confessing their love—it suddenly clicked.

Hey! Guess what? The power's out! (Tianjin dialect)

At first, the moviegoers thought the multimedia system was broken, and a few boys even went up and fiddled with it. After a while, they concluded that it was probably a power outage.

As you walk further outside the classroom, sure enough, the emergency lights are all on.

"Stop playing! Stop playing! The power's out!"

After the lights in the back of the classroom went out, the boys who were engrossed in playing Three Kingdoms Kill practically craned their necks to see the cards on the table, demonstrating their complete fascination. Only when they were certain that they couldn't see the words on the cards even if they pressed their heads against them in the dark did they finally give up the idea of ​​continuing the game.

However, it wasn't exactly disappointing, since the power was out! A rare SSS-level event on campus. The students immediately rushed out of the classroom, cheering and shouting, as if they had suddenly reverted to their primal instincts.

Chen Bing also found his girl immediately, took her hand, and followed the rest of the class out of the classroom to check the situation.

Although there were still faint emergency lights in the corridors, the campus was completely dark. Looking around, all that could be seen were the rows of bungalows outside the school, emitting a soft yellow light.

Based on this, it seems to be a problem with the power lines, rather than a power outage in this area.

Turning around, I noticed that many lights had appeared on campus at some point, and judging from their uniform bright white color, they must all be cell phone lights.

It's only at times like this, when birds are feeding, that students would dare to take out their phones so boldly.

Chen Bing tightened his grip on Shang Yunmiao's hand, and after she turned around, he pointed to the flashing lights below and asked, "Look, don't these lights look like stars?"

"The stars shouldn't be this bright, and they shouldn't be this big." Shang Yunmiao gestured earnestly with her other hand, looking very serious.

"I'm going to get upset if you say that," Chen Bing said deliberately, her face darkening as she pinched Shang Yunmiao's small hand in a huff.

In the darkness, although Shang Yunmiao couldn't see the changes in his facial expressions, she could still sense Chen Bing's dissatisfaction by feeling the touch on her hand and listening to Chen Bing's words.

She was somewhat confused, unsure of what she had done wrong.

Chen Bing quickly provided an answer to her question.

“You should say, ‘Wow! Really, I want a star like that too!’ Then I’ll turn on my phone’s flashlight and tell you, ‘Here, this is a star for you.’ Immediately afterward, you should come up and kiss me, feeling very touched.”

In campus romance novels, this is what the male and female protagonists always do when there's a power outage.

After hearing Director Chen's instructions, Miss Shang's cheeks flushed immediately. She first looked around. After confirming that the light was good enough that others could still see some outlines of limbs, she felt a little embarrassed to do as Chen Bing suggested.

With so many people around, how could anyone possibly kiss you on their own initiative? Besides, if you really follow Chen Bing's steps, won't you have to turn on the lights later? Wouldn't that make it even easier for someone to see you?

Out of shame, Shang Yunmiao wanted to reject Chen Bing.

But there are many things you can't simply choose not to do, such as a beautiful actress being forced to be humiliated by a disgusting director for the sake of her career.

Shang Yunmiao had a similar problem at the moment, but it wasn't because the director was disgusting, but because of her own shame.

"Hurry up, while it's still dark, just one kiss will do. Otherwise, when the phone comes back on, won't someone see us?"

If we ignore the premise that they absolutely have to kiss, Chen Bing's words sound quite reasonable. Because if they don't kiss now while the power is out, and wait until the power comes back on, someone will definitely see them.

But does it have to be a kiss? Shang Yunmiao thought to herself, since Chen Bing had asked, she definitely couldn't refuse.

After forcing herself to believe the other person's nonsense, Xiao Shang blushed and stammered, "Wow, wow! These lights look like stars! I...I want a star like that too..."
