I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 165 Bad

"Leave now?"

Mei Mengqian's soft voice drifted in from the doorway, a different tone from her aloof and mature voice outside.

When she spoke to Li Yan, her voice was gentle and soothing.

Li Yan thought she spoke quite nicely, but unfortunately she didn't like to talk. Even though she had become more cheerful than before, she still didn't like to talk.

Looking towards the doorway, his eyes immediately lit up.

The girl was wearing a turtleneck sweater underneath; the soft, close-fitting fabric accentuated her long neck and fair, pearly skin.

Below, she wore dark blue wide-leg jeans, the cuffs of which slightly covered the tops of her off-white snow boots, making her already long legs appear even straighter and longer.

She wore a silver-gray down jacket with a simple and clean design. The zipper was pulled up to her chin, making her look very warm, and the color matched her temperament perfectly.

A chunky white off-white knit scarf was casually wrapped around her neck and hung down naturally.

She wore a gray beret at an angle, her hair flowing naturally, smooth as silk.

Overall, it resembles the white moonlight of my memories. It has a classic and aloof feel, but with added gentleness.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and eat."

Li Yan pointed to the breakfast on the table. There was one for each of them, and another one was kept warm in the rice cooker for Jiang Yingzhu to eat when she woke up.

"Oh!"

Mei Mengqian nodded, sat down at the table to eat, and subtly observed him.

Li Yan maintained his simple attire: a gray wool coat over a white turtleneck sweater, ordinary straight-leg pants, and sneakers.

Mei Mengqian couldn't see anything right about those sneakers. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time before finally saying:
"Where are the shoes I bought you?"

"It's on the shoe rack, what's wrong?" Li Yan blinked as he watched her eat.

"..." Mei Mengqian pursed her lips, and after a moment of thought, said, "Sneakers and wool coats don't go well together. The pair of Martin boots I bought are better."

However, all she heard was a meaningful "oh".

Immediately, Mei Mengqian lowered her head sharply, her face turning bright red.

After a long while, she raised her head and caught a glimpse of a pair of Dr. Martens boots in front of her.

He looked up and met Li Yan's gaze as he stood before him.

"Is this okay now? I only dress up like this for dates."

"What date? We're just..."

Mei Mengqian ran into the kitchen with a bowl in her hand, the soft sound carried on the wind.

"...I just want to go see a movie."

"Let's go then, put the dishes in the dishwasher."

As the two walked out of the house, they saw an old man carrying a bowl of water, scattering it back and forth in the stairwell.

Mei Mengqian glanced at him curiously, but the old man glanced at Li Yan, exclaimed "Ah!", dropped the bowl, and started running, shouting as he ran.

"Don't come looking for me! Don't come looking for me! I didn't take the money!!!"

God knows, he didn't sleep well all night and had to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom.

In a daze, I saw a coin float up from my vegetable patch.

It's floated away!
The old man thought he was seeing things, so he went over to check and found that the money had indeed disappeared from its original spot from yesterday!
"What's up with him?"

"I don't know, maybe I didn't sleep well." Li Yan shook his head, and the two continued downstairs.

Where would you like to see a movie?

People's Square.

"Sure, I remember going there last time, but unfortunately I didn't get to see a movie."

Li Yan waved down a taxi, opened the door, and glanced at her.

Mei Mengqian's heart pounded, her eyes darting around, feeling as if her little secret had been seen through.

She got into the back seat and waited for Li Yan to sit down next to her.

Mei Mengqian took a deep breath and said casually:
"It's because I missed it last time that I remembered to go see it this time, and also, and also..."

She stole a glance at Li Yan and saw that the young man was looking out the window. Feeling less pressured, she finally mustered the courage to speak:
"And couples get an even better discount on tickets..."

After saying that, she felt like she had just run a 3,000-meter race; her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and a burning, astringent feeling, like bubbling beer, overflowed from the depths of her heart in all directions. She also seemed to have really drunk a lot of beer, leaning against the car door, slightly drunk, her breath hot, and all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

Suddenly, the boy's clear voice reached my ears even more clearly.

"But we're not a couple."

Mei Mengqian's head, which was already lowered, suddenly sank even lower, and she slumped in her seat like a deflated balloon. She looked at her shoes, blinked hard, and suddenly felt that all the bitterness in her heart was absorbed by her eyes, forming an even stronger urge to cry.

"I……"

She wanted to express her thoughts, but suddenly found herself unable to speak.

When the driver in the front seat heard Li Yan's words and saw the girl's behavior, he couldn't help but want to stop the car and beat him up.

Just then, Li Yan continued:
"How about we pretend to be a couple?"

"a..."

"What does 'a' mean? If you're not willing, then we'll..."

"I don't!!!"

Mei Mengqian suddenly raised her head and said loudly, her slightly misty eyes staring at him.

"Okay, then let's pretend to be a couple."

Li Yan knew that if he teased her any further, she would really cry, so he immediately nodded.

Mei Mengqian pursed her lips, her emotions returning to normal. It was like taking a sip of sparkling water; the joy was like the bubbles bursting in her mouth, giving her a tingling sensation all over her body.

She savored the feeling and suddenly reached out and pinched Li Yan's waist.

"bad!"

One time wasn't enough to vent my anger, so I did it again.

It feels nice to hold, I'll have some more...

"Hey, hey, that's enough, that's enough. If you do it again, I'll pinch you back."

"Pinch...pinch it back!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian recalled that scene, and her originally calm face instantly turned bright red, like a strawberry.

She crossed her arms and suddenly moved away from the person.

"Stinking rogue!"

"I didn't do anything."

"You said it!!"

"Okay, since I'm a rogue, then wait a minute..." Li Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey!"

"Hey, you head!"

Mei Mengqian couldn't help but kick him again. No wonder Zhuzhu would hit him every few days.

I just couldn't resist, okay!
Why are people like this sometimes?!

Mei Mengqian didn't know what to say.

At the same time, I felt even more embarrassed. I thought the movie theater wouldn't ask me to do anything too outrageous just to prove that we were a couple, right?

In the front row, the driver burped.

If he had known, he wouldn't have felt any sympathy for her.

This is so cloying for him.

My blood sugar was already high right after I ate breakfast, and now it's even higher.

Let's treat our neighbor to lunch; he likes sweets.

Before long, we arrived at People's Square.

The two went up to the third floor, to the movie theater.

Upon seeing the large sign at the entrance for couples' tickets, a couple, without any regard for propriety, were seen embracing and kissing openly, making noise.

Mei Mengqian blushed instantly. Could it be that he also wanted to...?
