I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 168 Enough for you to eat for a lifetime
Inside the theater, Guo Cailing gossiped with her classmates in the class group chat.

He turned around and secretly observed Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu.

The gossip among ordinary classmates is enough to keep them entertained, let alone Li Yan, a popular figure in the class.

Her position was unobstructed and close by. Considering that Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu were childhood sweethearts, she was sure they would do something even bolder than they had done that morning.

I'll just confirm it myself in the class group later.

"Light shines through the piano keys, like stained glass windows."

Just then, the phone rang, and a call came in.

Guo Cailing's heart skipped a beat. She quickly sat up straight and subconsciously answered the phone.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Who else is it?! Sister, where have you been? I've already entered the theater, why aren't you here yet? Didn't you say you were just going to the bathroom?!"

Hearing her younger sister Guo Caiwei's voice, Guo Cailing breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around to look, but did not see her sister, which puzzled her.

"Little sister, I've already entered the theater, but you're not there."

"Guo Cailing, you must be joking! I'm right here in the theater showing 'The Haunted House,' you promised to watch it with me!"

When her younger sister's voice, tinged with tears, came over, Guo Cailing realized that she seemed to have entered the wrong theater.

Hearing the eerie background noise coming from the receiver, she hesitated and said, "Little sister, why don't you come to my place? I have even more interesting stuff here—the biggest gossip in the class!"

"Where are you?!"

Guo Cailing looked around and said definitively:

"I'm right next to you."

"what!!!"

Guo Cailing quickly added that her younger sister's startled scream came through the receiver.

"According to the seating arrangement in the theater, I'm sitting right next to you. Come find me."

"Guo Cailing, you idiot! %&*@#!"

After being scolded, Guo Cailing left her seat feeling guilty, glancing longingly at where Li Yan and the other person were before heading to find her sister.

"Sizzle."

The sound of a Coke can being opened rang out. Li Yan took a sip of his soda, glanced at the movie screen, and looked at Jiang Yingzhu.

In the dimly lit hall, Jiang Yingzhu's face was segmented into different shades of light and shadow due to the changing light and dark on the movie screen, giving it a unique charm.

She seemed oblivious to Li Yan's gaze, still looking intently at the movie screen.

So Li Yan just watched, while picking up the popcorn that was placed between the two of them and eating it.

Jiang Yingzhu's body stiffened a bit. She didn't want to expose the person next to her, but she saw that her popcorn was about to be eaten.

She finally couldn't help but say, "Why are you staring at me? Watch the movie!"

"You're more attractive than the movie."

"Ugh! Don't give me that, it's giving me goosebumps."

Jiang Yingzhu rubbed her arms, thinking that this guy could talk sometimes, and happiness was already blooming on her face.

She picked up the popcorn bucket.

"Stop watching! Let's watch a movie!"

"If you say I won't watch it and I just do whatever you say, wouldn't I lose face?"

"Humph!"

Jiang Yingzhu snorted and ignored him, enjoying the sweet popcorn while watching the movie.

······
After the movie ended, the two walked out of the mall, got into a taxi, and Li Yan said:
"Driver, go to the flower and bird market near the city stadium."

"okay!"

Jiang Yingzhu looked at him strangely upon hearing this.

"Why are you going to the flower and bird market? Are you going to get a pet?"

"I already have two."

"No, of course I don't."

Jiang Yingzhu had only uttered half a sentence when she realized what was happening. She narrowed her eyes and slashed at Li Yan.

"Are you trying to die?! You're my little pet, call me Mom!"

"Tsk tsk, Jiang Yingzhu, I didn't expect you to be even more perverted than me, actually making me call you that here."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the rearview mirror with her handsome features. The driver in the driver's seat didn't speak or look around, as if he had received professional training.

"You're the pervert!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Jiang Yingzhu was speechless. This shameless person.

She simply got straight to the point.

"If you're not going to buy a pet, then what's the point of going to the flower and bird market?"

"Buy flowers, seeds, fertilizer, soil, and gardening tools."

"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with growing flowers again."

"No, it's not that. I just love farming. It's ingrained in my bones. You won't believe me until you grow up."

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes.

"You talk as if you're some big shot."

Li Yan smiled and looked down, which was caught by Jiang Yingzhu. Her cheeks instantly burned, and she punched him three times.

While receiving a massage from his childhood sweetheart, Li Yan suddenly had a whimsical thought and asked:
"What do you think about me buying a small two-story house with a yard at the foot of Feiyun Mountain? Plus, it's closer to the school."

Jiang Yingzhu crossed her arms, glanced at him sideways, and said casually, "So it'll be convenient for you to grow flowers and farm, right?"

"That's secondary."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu pursed her lips, leaned back against the chair, and the sunlight streaming in from the side window framed her budding figure and her sculpted, smooth facial features.

"It doesn't matter, I don't really want to live there either, but do you have money?"

"Yes, enough for you to eat for a lifetime."

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at his face briefly, and after several seconds, a slightly dry voice came out.

"Who wants to eat you for the rest of their life? You shameless thing."

"Then I."

Jiang Yingzhu was already dizzy from what he had just said, and fearing he might say something else, she immediately raised her hand and covered his mouth.

"Shut up!"

Li Yan smelled the scent of Dabao; it was fragrant and the skin was very white.

But he kept quiet.

Jiang Yingzhu then let go of his hand and looked at Li Yan after a while. "If you really want to buy it, let's go take a look when we have time. I haven't climbed that mountain yet."

"Row."

The driver in the front row glanced at the two young people in the back and felt a sense of surrealism.

This person is still in high school, and they're already thinking about buying a house.

Even two-story houses in the style of village houses are not cheap in areas close to the city.

Moreover, there are parks, schools, and hospitals nearby.

No, kids these days are all so rich.

Why am I excluded from the pursuit of common prosperity?
······
Inside a shop in a flower and bird market.

Li Yan purchased a lot of seeds, fertilizer, soil, and gardening tools, which cost a considerable amount of money.

"Can you deliver it to my door?"

"this."

"I'll add money."

"Handsome guy, you're so generous. Leave your phone number and address, and I guarantee it will be delivered today."

"it is good."

Li Yan nodded and paid. At that moment, the shop owner brought over a birdcage.

"The store is having a promotion; spend 300 and get a free cage. I'll deliver it to you, handsome."

"Thanks for that."

After glancing at the ordinary birdcage, Li Yan didn't refuse. He'd give it to Old Li later.

If he knew about the birdcage effect, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap.

However, Li Yan thought that Old Li would probably get him a parrot later.

Thinking about how Old Li was fishing and walking his birds instead of doing his proper work, Li Yan found it rather amusing.

When he got home, the things had almost all been delivered. Mei Mengqian heard that he wanted to grow potted plants, so she came over to take a look.

"Li Yan, where are you planning to keep it?"

"balcony."

What to raise?

"We have roses and monthly roses, and some other things, like mint. Do you want to plant them?" Li Yan glanced at her.

Growing flowers is a delicate task that requires patience, and Jiang Yingzhu has no interest in it.

However, Li Yan believes that Mei Mengqian should like it.

"Okay!"

As expected, Mei Mengqian agreed without hesitation and helped him pack his things.

"what is this?"

"fertilizer."

Just as Li Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yingzhu and said, "It's sheep dung, Mengmeng."

Then, the two watched as Mei Mengqian's body suddenly stiffened, and she subconsciously tried to let go, but then restrained herself.

To ease the force of the trembling, she abruptly pulled her hand back.

In her distorted movements, she suddenly grabbed the small bag of fertilizer and slumped to the ground.

"Kukuku!" Jiang Yingzhu burst into laughter, pulling her up while letting out a tractor-like laugh.

"Mengmeng really likes sheep dung."

Li Yan rolled his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yingzhu. What a funny person.

He turned to Mei Mengqian, pointed to the seed packages over there, and said, "Why don't you sort these out?"

"Ah."

Mei Mengqian was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she felt awkward and a little angry, so she suddenly pounced on Jiang Yingzhu.

"You'll make me laugh!"

"Kukuku!"

After preparing the necessary materials for planting, Li Yan and his two companions ordered a meal of KFC and ate while playing games.

That evening, Li Yan officially began to think about buying a house.

His current house is located near the city center, which makes it inconvenient for him to occasionally try his cultivation techniques.

The village at the foot of Feiyun Mountain is quite nice, and it's not remote either.

Moreover, the research base for the Seven-Seven Formula will be established near the Xisai Mountain area, so if anything goes wrong, he can resolve it quickly.

After graduating from high school, the building where they lived was also to be demolished, and they would need a place to stay in Huangcheng.

So the study group didn't continue the next day, and instead took a short break.

Li Yan, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian arrived at the end of Zhongyaowan Road in front of the Sixth Middle School.

Here is a set of bluestone steps leading up the mountain.

The path was narrower and steeper than the one Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu had taken on the back mountain last time.

From the foot of the mountain to the city, the height of the buildings gradually increases.

The area near the foot of the mountain is mostly comprised of single-story houses.

It looked too rudimentary. Jiang Yingzhu said, "It feels even worse than the houses in my grandma's remote mountain village. Let's look at it from another place."

“I think so too,” Mei Mengqian agreed, even though her grandmother lived in the city.

She looked around and suddenly saw a path on her left leading to several white buildings. On one side of the buildings were other buildings, and on the other side was a stream reflecting the light.

He immediately said, "Shall we go take a look over there?!"

For her, it no longer mattered whose house she rented; rather, the feeling of helping others find a place was quite novel to her.

"Okay, you have a good eye for choosing. The scenery over there looks nice," Jiang Yingzhu said, pulling her towards that direction.

The three of them soon arrived in front of the row of small buildings, which were only two stories high and varied in height.

Some are simple, some are exquisite; there are five in total, each with a sizable cement courtyard connected by a path.

Of the five small buildings, only three had their doors open, suggesting that people lived there.

Turning to look towards the mountains, a babbling brook meanders through a small patch of wilderness, bypasses the residential area, and enters a pond in a corner of the field.

“It’s only cold now. If it were spring, there would be flowers and butterflies there,” Mei Mengqian said.

"This place looks nice. Shall we go check out some other places?"

Jiang Yingzhu asked Li Yan if she didn't care where she lived, as long as she didn't live with Lao Deng.

"Just take a look."
