I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 154 Seeking Father with a Large Sum of Money
Through his divine sense, Li Yan could see the situation in the cafeteria clearly.

He was relieved to see that his senior hadn't fallen for the trick.

Afterwards, he felt that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Although the senior student was not wealthy, she did not like to take advantage of others.

On the contrary, they are very rational and insightful.

Although Li Yan didn't know why his senior had refused earlier, he felt that she must have noticed something was wrong.

After the second period, when the morning exercises ended, Yu Bin and the others immediately got to work.

They split into two teams: one team carried needles to deflate the inflatable food packaging, while the other team stood behind to block the cameras.

Zhang Wei pretended to be buying things normally, then suddenly picked up a bag of potato chips, squeezed it, and made a hissing sound, immediately alerting the people nearby.

"Oh no, these potato chips have a damaged packaging, they must be expired, everyone don't buy them, don't buy them!"

"I'll go, it's true."

"Not many people buy potato chips, so it's normal for them to be expired."

The people around Zhang Wei were talking all at once, their eyes scanning the snacks.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuai, who had been blocked by him, breathed a sigh of relief.

They exchanged a glance, then continued on their way.

The only employee at the small supermarket, an older woman, was at the cashier, but she didn't forget to recommend Want Want snacks.

Some people bought it, but some people didn't like the taste of Want Want milk and wouldn't even take it for free.

The woman was busy and didn't say much.

The cafeteria's small supermarket usually sees customers mainly during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as during the long break between classes for morning exercises.

Unlike those in the teaching building, there are quite a few of them all day long.

After the third class, Yu Bin went to the cafeteria's small supermarket again.

After lunch, Li Yan continued carving his work in the classroom, while Jiang Yingzhu temporarily sat down to sleep in Ye Hui's seat.

The first year of high school wasn't the most tiring time, and Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian couldn't fall asleep.

Although they went to bed late last night, with Li Yan's help, their sleep quality was surprisingly high, so they were full of energy.

Unable to sleep, the two of them lay down and watched Li Yan carve.

I got a little bored watching, so I stopped pretending to be asleep and started chatting.

"Mengmeng, the table is so hard. Shall we go buy a small pillow?"

"Mmm." Mei Mengqian nodded, and then said, "We can buy it online. Buy one for my senior; her birthday is next Tuesday."

"Ok?"

Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback, then remembered, "Oh right, are we just going to give you a pillow? I feel a little embarrassed, I feel bad for the tutoring you gave me."

“But you probably won’t accept something expensive,” Mei Mengqian said. “Zhuzhu, why don’t you give me a pillow, and I’ll give you something even better.”

"That works too, Mengmeng. Do you know what your senior likes?"

"I don't know." Mei Mengqian thought about it carefully and found that Hua Junshu never repeated himself when he ate or cooked.

Jiang Yingzhu thought for a moment, her gaze fixed on the desolate and withered hillside outside the window, when suddenly her eyes lit up.
“It’s getting cold, Mengmeng, you can give your senior a winter coat.”

“It’s a bit strange.”

Li Yan's eyelids twitched, and he silently engraved a constant temperature array on the peace token in his hand.

At the same time, he said, "It is indeed strange. You are not her elders. Why would you buy clothes for the first time? Why not give her some gloves as a gift?"

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up, and she nodded. Gloves were a good choice.

Moreover, the prices of gloves vary greatly depending on the brand and material.

She wanted to give her something nice, not to repay her senior's kindness, but because of that kindness, she couldn't give her something too cheap.

Mei Mengqian had no friends before because she transferred schools, except for Li Yan, who was her only confidant.

Now that she has two, she doesn't want to mistreat her good friends.

After discussing it, the two of them had something to do, so they started browsing Taobao and chatting from time to time, which made it even harder for them to fall asleep.

Not long after, Yu Qingya walked in from outside, carrying a large bag of snacks.

"Mengmeng, Zhuzhu, look! I bought this for ten yuan!"

"So many! How much are they?" Jiang Yingzhu glanced at them and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It seems some of them are leaking air. Could they be expired? Qingya, don't be fooled." Mei Mengqian observed carefully and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"No, I've already checked." Yu Qingya chuckled. "These were bought from the school cafeteria convenience store. I don't know which idiot poked a hole in a lot of the snacks. The cashier got a really bad scolding!"

"I see." Mei Mengqian's expression was strange. She didn't say anything and silently accepted the potato chips that Yu Qingya handed her.

"There are people like this. Well done! I've been unhappy with the cafeteria and supermarket for a long time."

Jiang Yingzhu snorted and grabbed a bag of shrimp chips. "Those profiteers! I swiped my meal card to buy water, and they still charged a starting price. It's disgusting!"

"Zhuzhu, why don't you teach them a lesson?"

“I’m planning to use up my meal card before dealing with them, otherwise I won’t be able to use it,” Jiang Yingzhu said.

Yu Qingya nodded and began distributing snacks to the people behind her.

Xiao Shuai and Zhang Wei didn't go back at noon. After listening to their conversation, they accepted the snacks from Yu Qingya.

"Brother Xiao, so we were doing a good deed after all!"

"Of course, one should only do good deeds anonymously."

Xiao Shuai nodded. "You see, those bad people with bad character like to leave their names."

“How come you see?”

“Go to the tourist attractions and see if any of the important monuments still have ‘XX was here’ graffiti.” “That makes sense.” Zhang Wei nodded.

After Yu Qingya distributed snacks to everyone, she kept a few bags of her favorites for herself. When she returned to her seat, she realized that Li Yan hadn't taken any.

She looked back and realized she hadn't even picked up the bag yet.

On the left, Mei Mengqian took a tomato-flavored potato chip, ate one herself, and then fed one to Li Yan.

Jiang Yingzhu on the right took a bite of the shrimp cracker herself and then fed it to Li Yan.

Yu Qingya then looked at Mei Mengqian, who hesitated for a moment before taking out a potato chip and offering it to her lips.

"."

Yu Qingya was speechless. She opened her mouth and ate the potato chip, then glared at Li Yan.

Hmph, what a jerk, he won't give me any snacks!
Not long after, Lin Yufan also walked into the classroom carrying a bag of snacks and repeated what Yu Qingya had just done.

"Hmm, how come there's a second playthrough?" Jiang Yingzhu found it a bit funny.

"What do you mean by a second playthrough?" Lin Yufan asked, puzzled.

"Snacks," Jiang Yingzhu explained what had just happened.

“That’s different!” Lin Yufan looked around and smiled mysteriously. “I know inside information.”

"That middle-aged woman who works as a cashier took out her own expired milk to sell, which angered someone and caused this whole mess for the supermarket. I just bought something and saw her arguing with the supermarket owner."

"So that's how it is, serves him right!"

Jiang Yingzhu nodded, chatted with Lin Yufan for a few more minutes, and then returned to her class.

In the first history class in the afternoon, we continued going over the test paper. Everyone was sleepy, and no one listened.

The history teacher was not very satisfied, thinking that even if you all have to study science, this is still not acceptable.

He glanced at the class representative who was leading the way in sleeping, and immediately began taking attendance.

"The key point for this question is slavery. Writing those three words will get you points. I noticed that most people wrote them, but there was one student who did."

The history teacher paused, looked at Ye Daijia who was still snoring in his sleep, and slammed his hand on Ye's desk, waking him up.

"Ye, tell me, what did you write?"

Ye Daijia had no idea what he was talking about, so the history teacher pointed to his deskmate Zhou Haiyang and said:

"You read it for him."

Zhou Haiyang quickly looked at his answer sheet, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

"Loli-style!"

The classroom erupted in laughter, and even the sleepy students were jolted awake.

"Xiao Shuai, you're one of us!"

"Actually, you can't blame Ye Daijia for this," Xiao Shuai said. "Didn't you guys notice that the history teacher pronounced 'slavery' very similar to 'loli' (a cute little girl)?"

"If I weren't very clear about the pronunciation of 'loli', I might have been fooled too."

Yu Bin curled his lip, "If you just glanced at the book before listening to the lecture, you wouldn't be fooled."

The history teacher successfully sparked the students' interest in the lesson, but Li Yan remained unmoved and continued doing his craft.

The "Peaceful Talisman" was an ordinary gift he made to replace the previous shabby talismans; Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian also had them.

But it wasn't a birthday present.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two didn't know what Hua Junshu liked, but he did.

"I've discovered something big! The afternoon classes go by so fast."

After the third class, which was the evening break, Yu Bing immediately turned around and said.

"Much faster than this morning."

"Because there was one less class," Guo Cailing said.

"After two consecutive math classes tomorrow afternoon, do you still feel like it'll be fast enough with only one class missing?" Yu Qingya asked.

"emmm"

Guo Cailing remained silent. Her math score was the worst among the group of students in the front row. The feeling of wanting to listen, thinking she understood, and then suddenly not understanding again was too torturous.

She took out her Bluetooth earphones and put them on, trying to hide her grief inside them.

Yu Qingya found it amusing, but Yu Bing noticed something amiss and asked curiously:
"Cailing, did you buy new headphones?"

"No."

"But wasn't one of your earphones stolen?"

"I found it again!" Guo Cailing regained her fighting spirit, took off her headphones, and excitedly told the others.

"Guess how I found it."

“It’s definitely the police!” Yu Bing said.

"How could that be? My mom said the police are even less useful than your period."

Yu Bing was unconvinced because every time she encountered a murder case, she could see the police arrive without changing their expressions, even though she had never seen the police's expressions at the crime scene.

However, to satisfy her curiosity, Yu Bing held back and let Guo Cailing continue.

“Let me tell you, I found it on Xianyu. I was browsing Xianyu that day and saw someone selling this earphone for me. It happened to be the left earphone, so I bought it immediately and then asked her to meet me.”

"Later I found out that it was actually my neighbor. When I saw her address, I almost jumped off the balcony!"

Yu Bing nodded slightly. "Did you call the police? Your neighbor stole your things! That's awful!"

"No." Guo Cailing scratched her head and took out her phone. "She's a primary school student. I listed her on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app)."

Yu Qingya and Yu Bing looked at the phone and saw a photo of a little girl with the caption:
[No father, offering a large sum of one yuan to seek a father]
