Chapter 131 Soul Torture
Li Yan turned his head and saw Mei Mengqian staring blankly at him.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

"No, he's just kind of handsome."

Mei Mengqian said something subconsciously, then realized what she was saying and turned her head away.

"I didn't say anything just now."

"heard it."

"I'm going to cheer for Yu Bing." Mei Mengqian pinched the annoying Doraemon on her keychain and headed towards Yu Bing.

An elementary school student overestimated her abilities and participated in the women's 800-meter race. She's currently walking briskly on the track, panting heavily.

Li Yan glanced in that direction, then looked away.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu jumped, like an agile lynx, and landed at a height of seven and a half meters.

When the news broke that Jiang Yingzhu had successfully broken the women's high jump record, Jiang Yingzhu had also achieved a breakthrough in the women's high jump.

Jiang Yingzhu also signed up for shot put, but she didn't achieve good results in that event.

"I'm going back to class to rest for a while. Where did Mengmeng go?"

"The elementary school students."

"Oh." Jiang Yingzhu nodded and headed towards the classroom.

Li Yan was called to participate in the semifinals of the 100-meter and 400-meter races.

After breaking the record, Li Yan stood still, drinking water and watching the rest of the people run.

Just as the eight contestants were ready and the referee's starting gun was about to fire.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out from Yu Bin, one of the eight contestants.

The next moment, the other seven contestants ran out, leaving only Yu Bin in place.

As expected, the referee blew his whistle, issuing a warning, and glared at him fiercely.

"Further interference with the competition will result in disqualification."

Yu Bin made a gesture as if he were zipping up his mouth.

After the other contestants realized what was happening, they all gave him a twitching look.

The students in Class One standing next to Li Yan were practically laughing their heads off.

"Brother Bin really knows how to handle things!"

"That's called strategy; Brother Bin has quick wit."

“His tongue must be very flexible,” Xiao Shuai said.

Upon hearing this, Hu Die agreed, "Yes, your tongue is very flexible!"

Everyone looked at her. Something's wrong with you!
So, in this 400-meter race, due to Yu Bin's ventriloquism, everyone else lost and Yu Bin advanced.

After the semi-finals, Li Yan was no longer involved.

The morning was also drawing to a close.

As the bell rang, all the students sprang into action, some heading to the school gate, others to the cafeteria.

Li Yan walked along the path in the small garden beside the playground toward the school gate, pondering what to eat.

Jiang Yingzhu sent a message saying she wanted to eat stir-fried dishes and asked me to bring some for her.

Now that he didn't need to think about it anymore, Li Yan decided to have dinner at the Unforgettable Restaurant.

They also ran into Xiao Shuai and others.

"Yan-ge is eating here too? Want to join us?"

Li Yan glanced at the four of them and shook his head.

Upon entering the restaurant, he saw many couples and found an empty four-person table to sit down.

"I'd like a stir-fried pork dish, a sweet potato starch noodle and shredded pork dish, a glutinous rice cake with fish, and a tomato and egg soup."

Li Yan quickly ordered his food. At that moment, Qi Yunfeng, who was at the next table with a rather pretty girl, glanced over.

"Yunfeng, that classmate ate four dishes by himself."

"Yunyun, if you want, I'll add two more, and we'll make six dishes."

Qi Yunfeng patted the beautiful girl on the shoulder and said.

"No need, Yunfeng. People just think he's lonely, so they're probably bringing him food. Unlike me, I just feel sorry for my brother and want to eat with him."

Qi Yunfeng had been overshadowed by Li Yan during military training, and now that they had met, he felt it was a good opportunity to vent his anger. Upon hearing this, he burst into laughter.

“Yunyun, you’re right. Some people aren’t destined to enjoy life. I’ll ask the waiter to add two more side dishes, like the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish that you love.”

Li Yan listened to the two talking loudly and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Just then, Mei Mengqian sent a message.

Where are you eating?

"We've already ordered from the Forget-Me-Not Restaurant. Bring Zhuzhu over."

"it is good."

Before long, the dishes Qi Yunfeng added arrived, and all the dishes Li Yan ordered were served.

He shook his head and took a sip of tea with a sigh.

"Really."

Just as he opened his mouth, the short-haired girl he had admired suddenly appeared and sat down opposite Li Yan.

Then came a girl with a great temperament, equally stunning.

She even helped him scald the bowls and chopsticks. Qi Yunfeng looked at his female companion across from him, who only knew how to eat, and was immediately furious.

"I'm right on time, aren't I? The food is just served." Jiang Yingzhu chuckled and sat down in the seat closest to the stir-fried pork.

Seeing this, Li Yan suddenly asked a question.

"Zhuzhu, let me test you."

"What are you doing? I just want to eat in peace."

"If I and stir-fried pork fell into the river, who would you save first?"

At the next table, Qi Yunfeng stared wide-eyed. Was this a question even a human could think of?
This guy is so brain-dead, that girl definitely wouldn't like him.

"Nonsense, of course I'd save you first. If the stir-fried pork falls into the river, it's inedible."

Jiang Yingzhu's tone was full of disdain, confirming her diagnosis of being brain-dead.

Mei Mengqian tasted the dish and said, "Li Yan, you asked the wrong question. You should ask, 'If you can only choose between stir-fried pork and Li Yan, Zhuzhu, what do you choose?'"

"Choose Li Yan, Mengmeng, you're a bit slow. Li Yan can make stir-fried pork."

Jiang Yingzhu dealt with the two groups of troublemakers, then looked at Li Yan and grinned maliciously.

"Hmph, it's my turn. If I and your mother fell into the river, who would you save first?"

Jiang Yingzhu played her trump card, raised her flag high, and stood on the high ground, posing a soul-searching question.

"Shall we film a short video first?"

Li Yan received two flying kicks. "You can swim, and so can my mom. In fact, my mom taught you how to swim. What else would I do if I didn't make Douyin videos?"

Mei Mengqian chuckled, looked at the aggrieved Jiang Yingzhu, and nudged her.

"This is called using their own methods against them. Zhuzhu, you're not very smart either."

She paused, then her eyes lit up. "I have a better question, Li Yan. I want to ask you, when Zhu Zhu and I were in the same room..."

"Ahem, let's eat first. The boss gave us some side dishes today, and they tasted pretty good."

Li Yan coughed, abruptly changing the subject. He regretted his lapse in judgment.

Next door, the pretty girl who was having dinner with Qi Yunfeng pouted and said in a sweet voice:
"Brother, if someone and your mother fell into the river together, who would you save first?"

Uh, can you swim?

"will not."

"Then I'll save my mom."

"Why?! Brother, don't you like me?"

Qi Yunfeng said without hesitation, "Of course I like her, but you can find another girlfriend, but you can never truly lose your mother."

"Hmph! You stinky man, I'm not eating anymore! Let's break up!!" Shang Lulu stood up, glared at Qi Yunfeng, and left.

This guy has money, but he's reluctant to spend it, so it's not worth continuing the conversation.

Qi Yunfeng was stunned. Looking at the large table of dishes, he felt a wave of loneliness.

The loneliness intensified when laughter drifted from next door.

"Mom, you've really screwed me over."

He had given so much, but he hadn't even gotten a kiss, and it all ended like that. He was very unwilling to give up and chased after her.

Upon seeing this, the busy proprietress hurriedly went to chase after them.

"Young man, wait a minute, you haven't paid yet."

Jiang Yingzhu looked up and pointed at him.

"See? It's all your fault. The young couple broke up."

“What does this have to do with me? I didn’t say that. You’re the one who should be blaming me,” Li Yan said.

"Blame you!"

"It's your fault."

"you you you."

"."

The childish bickering between the two had absolutely no effect on Mei Mengqian.

Mei Mengqian didn't participate in the childish games, remained silent, and simply ate her food with her head down.

He ate two bites of bamboo shoot meat, one bite of Li Yan's fish, and then one bite of his own vegetables.

The cycle repeats itself, rain and dew are distributed equally, each with its own emphasis.

After Jiang Yingzhu won and the argument ended, she noticed that there seemed to be quite a few more green peppers on the plate.

"Li Yan, did you steal my meat?!"

She recalled how Li Yan kept waving his chopsticks when they were arguing.

Li Yan: "???"

"You really are a righteous and upright official."

"My eyes are sharp!"

"It is quite dark." Li Yan looked at it carefully.

Jiang Yingzhu buried her head in her food and ignored him.

After lunch break, the competition continued in the afternoon.

Li Yan went to participate in the 100-meter and 400-meter finals.

The champion, as expected.

Congratulations to the champion.

Class monitor Ye Hui brought over a cup of milk tea and handed it to him.

Then he took out another cup and handed it to Yu Bin, who was next to Li Yan, saying with the same formal expression:
Congratulations to the runner-up.

"Brother Bin is awesome!" Xiao Shuai and the others praised from the side.

It's not that champion Li Yan isn't good, it's just that people have gotten used to his strength and become immune to it.

Unless Li Yan announces one day that he has solved some ancient mystery, or flies away in public.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be surprised.

Compared to Li Yan, Yu Bin was surprising, since he usually played games and seemed like a gaming addict.

It gives the impression of being just a body.

Li Yan glanced at the task on the system panel, but there was no completion notification.

It seems we'll have to wait until after the sports meet to receive the awards.

In the afternoon, there was a 4x400 meter relay race, with both men and women participating, as well as a tug-of-war, but Li Yan chose not to participate in any of them.

Instead, he read out encouraging messages on the radio to cheer on his classmates, with Mei Mengqian joining him.

She wrote, he read, their coordination was perfect.

"Mengmeng, you don't need to think of it yourself. There are plenty of resources online. Just copy one."

"I feel that my idea is better."

Mei Mengqian shook her head, and just as she finished speaking, the door to the broadcasting studio was pushed open.

Yu Qingya walked into the broadcasting studio and anxiously grabbed Mei Mengqian.

"Mengmeng, do me a favor, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"What's wrong, Qingya?"

"I signed up for the 400-meter relay, but then my period started." Yu Qingya glanced at Li Yan beside her and whispered to Mei Mengqian.

"Huh!? Do you want some...?"

"I have one, Mengmeng, could you help me participate in the 400-meter relay?"

Mei Mengqian turned to look at Li Yan and nodded, "Alright then."

"Great! Let's go! It's about to begin!"

Yu Qingya pulled her out, and Li Yan watched from behind, saying:

"Keep running, I'll read you a cheering speech."

"Hey, the class monitor only read it to Mengmeng? There are three other girls participating in the 400-meter relay."

"Let's sing one more song to cheer you all on."

Mei Mengqian blinked, suddenly becoming expectant.
