I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 173 Just bear with it, the first time is always like this.
"Here's what we'll do: class monitor, take some time to elect the arts and culture representative. Until then, you'll be in charge of registering for the New Year's Eve party."

Li Ping made a quick decision, without waiting for the class to make a fuss about the New Year's Day performance, tapped the blackboard, and continued, "

"There's a parent-teacher meeting this Sunday, please inform everyone when you get home."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent and sighed.

Li Ping then went on to discuss the specifics of the parents' meeting and to arrange for someone to handle the reception.

They called on Li Yan, but Li Yan refused to be a tool.

Li Ping had no choice; this was a promising student for the college entrance examination.

Now he doesn't do his homework, occasionally skips self-study, plays on his phone or does other things during class, and doesn't follow his instructions.

It's already a big favor that they didn't shit on his head.

Before he started his lecture, he heard that Hua Junshu, a promising student from the neighboring high school building, was eating soup and meat in class, oblivious to everyone else, which made the lecturer hungry.

The entire class was spent watching her eat; who even looked at the blackboard or the teacher?
Li Ping finished talking about the parent-teacher meeting just as get out of class was about to end.

As the long evening break ended, and after an hour of discussion, everyone was once again buzzing about the New Year's Eve party.

"Qingya, Cailing, how about the three of us form a dance team?" Lin Yufan suggested.

"it is good!"

Yu Qingya agreed without hesitation. Wasn't she learning to dance precisely to show off?

“Why didn’t you include me? I’m in the first row too,” Yu Bing said.

“You’re not tall enough,” Guo Cailing said bluntly.

Yu Bing felt her weakness had been touched and was secretly angry.

"I want to sign up too! I'll be doing my own show, without you guys!"

"What are you going to perform?" Mei Mengqian asked curiously.

"Effective communication skills".

"." Everyone was speechless.

Li Yan expressed his support with a confident look, saying, "I think it's a good idea. If you and Jiang Yingzhu go up together, it'll be a comedy routine."

Mei Mengqian couldn't hold back her tears as she recalled Zhuzhu's frequent interactions with Yu Bing, and her shoulders trembled as she leaned on the table.

Yu Qingya and Lin Yufan had also witnessed that scene, and they immediately burst into laughter.

"Li Yan, you're up to no good!"

Yu Bing got up angrily to go find Jiang Yingzhu, but it was evening self-study time, so she sat down again.

Zhou Qinqin, who was on duty for evening self-study, hadn't arrived yet, and class monitor Ye Hui was sitting on the podium maintaining order.

After Zhou Qinqin came over, she returned to her seat and then nudged Li Yan.

"what happened?"

"commissary in charge of literature and art."

"I won't do it."

"Oh." Ye Hui nodded. Since Li Yan didn't want to, she wouldn't choose him.

Anyway, it's a role that Li Ping himself will forget.

I can just do it myself while I'm at it.

She nudged Li Yan again, "Your program."

"Can I be an audience member, class monitor?"

"Hmm," Ye Hui thought for a moment, then looked past him at Mei Mengqian, "Do you want to see him perform?"

"miss you!"

Ye Hui then looked at Li Yan.

"Okay, I was just joking. Class monitor, you're taking it too seriously."

"Fortunately."

Ye Hui paused, took out paper and pen, and gestured for him to write the program.

Li Yan casually wrote a song.

Ye Hui looked at him and said, "Do you need an instrument to accompany you? I can play the piano."

Li Yan stroked his chin. It wasn't impossible. He glanced at Mei Mengqian again. "That's fine. Mengmeng, didn't you learn the violin? You can help me too."

He remembered receiving a complaint from her, a fellow letter writer, when he was in junior high school. She said that learning the violin every day was like sawing wood.

"I haven't practiced in a long time."

"It's okay, nobody's a professional. But New Year's Eve party is just for fun, so skill level doesn't matter."

"Besides, acting well is fun, and even if you mess it up, it's still a bit of a joke!"

Li Yan said nonchalantly, "Think about it, years from now, when you look back on high school, you'll remember a New Year's Eve party where we performed brilliantly or terribly, like idiots, instead of being ordinary audience members. Isn't that interesting?"

Upon hearing this, both Mei Mengqian and Ye Hui seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, Yu Bing heard the key words and raised her hand, saying, "Me, me, me, I can play the drums."

"Are you going to back down?" Mei Mengqian asked with a smile.

"Ugh~, Mengmeng, you're bullying me too!" Yu Bing said with a droopy face.

"Okay, okay, I apologize." Mei Mengqian gave her a lollipop.

What kind of drums can you play?

"Drum set."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Guo Cailing praised, feeling a sense of awe as she imagined the tiny Yu Bing sitting in front of the drum set playing.

"I suggest, Li Yan, you should form a band!"

"I second the proposal!"

"Same to me, my Lord!"

Zhang Wei and Yu Qingya, who were eavesdropping, said.

Putting aside the band's skill level, their good looks alone are pleasing to the eye.

“I think Li Yan makes sense, so I signed up as well.”

Beside Ye Hui, Chen Xiyuan, who had always been an invisible figure during evening self-study and a ruthless learning machine, put down his pen and spoke.

He looked at Ye Hui:
"Class monitor, I want to submit a program for the title 'The Underachiever's Way to Turn the Tables'."

"What show is this?"

Zhou Qinqin, who had come over to listen to the commotion, asked.

Chen Xiyuan smiled smugly, "I'm going to share my study methods with all the teachers and students in the school. When I get back, I'll start making a PPT."

The people around gasped, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop slightly.

What level of sword is this?!

Zhou Qinqin tried to persuade Chen, "The New Year's Eve party is for everyone to have fun." "I understand, teacher, that it's about learning through entertainment!"

"You know nothing!" Zhou Qinqin thought to herself.

I won't try to persuade him anymore. Anyway, the gala program is reviewed, and no one will actually put him on it.

Li Yan noticed that Ye Hui hadn't included Chen Xiyuan's program, so he kindly reminded her.

"Class monitor, I actually think it's pretty good. Chen Xiyuan is obviously a selfless and good person. Besides, class monitor, you also want to see him share the ban."

Ye Hui pursed her lips tightly and wrote down Chen Xiyuan's program name.

······
After evening self-study ended and she returned home, Mei Mengqian talked to Jiang Yingzhu about the New Year's Eve party.

"Zhuzhu, have you signed up for the show?"

"No, I think your band is more fun, but unfortunately I don't know how to play any instruments."

Jiang Yingzhu's only musical skill was whistling.

But she couldn't very well go up there and whistle.

While everyone else was playing seriously, she was whistling?!
Jiang Yingzhu touched her chin.

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't say that!
It's pretty cool!
She looked at Li Yan, coughed twice, blinked, and, not knowing how to flirt, simply slapped him on the shoulder.

"Actually, I have a really great idea."

"Row."

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet!"

Li Yan could roughly guess what was going on, but since this person insisted on saying it, he decided to let her say it.

Jiang Yingzhu recounted her plan to whistle in front of the entire school.

Mei Mengqian was stunned, but she also felt that Zhu Zhu was indeed worthy of her.

“I happen to have a song that uses whistling. I’ll whistle it once, and you can whistle it during the performance,” Li Yan said. “If you don’t learn it, you’ll just have to stand there during the performance.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up.

Jiang Yingzhu nodded solemnly, knowing that if she couldn't learn it, she would really become the most conspicuous person at the New Year's Eve party!

That kind of thing, dammit!
So Li Yan went to get his guitar, sang a simple chorus, and then whistled.

"It sounds good."

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted."

"Then you do it once, but watch your emotions."

Jiang Yingzhu went through it once, and Li Yan nodded, then reached out and pinched her face with a serious expression, giving her some pointers.

Is it better to blow it like this?

Jiang Yingzhu asked with a strange expression, still looking as if Li Yan had pinched her.

"No, I just wanted to pinch you."

"are you crazy!"

Jiang Yingzhu immediately became angry and ignored him, grabbed the sheet music, and pulled Mengmeng back to her room.

·····
For the next few days, the class was in the atmosphere of preparing for the New Year's Eve party. However, as Friday approached, the atmosphere became a bit depressing for some students.

Li Yan had already informed Old Li about the parent-teacher meeting, and neither of them wanted to miss this opportunity to show off, so they both decided to come.

In fact, Ms. Fang attended the parent-teacher meeting on behalf of Jiang Yingzhu's parents.

Because Lao Jiang didn't receive any notification at all.

Jiang Yingzhu was kind enough not to let her uncle attend the parent-teacher meeting.

On Sunday, just as Mr. and Mrs. Li were about to leave, they saw a pretty, aloof girl standing at the door, carrying a schoolbag.

"You are."

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm here to see Li Yan." Hua Junshu was taken aback, glanced at Ms. Fang, and recognized her.

"It's you! Come on in! Li Yan is in his room." Ms. Fang reacted quickly and immediately made way for him.

Then he called out to Old Li and left.

"That girl."

“They’re just classmates, they’re on good terms. Don’t worry about it. We’ll talk about it at the parent-teacher conference. Don’t be late,” Ms. Fang said.

Old Li then stopped interfering.

Li Yan also came out of his room and greeted his senior.

“Zhu Zhu and the others probably haven’t woken up yet, senior. Do you want to learn something else?” Li Yan said.

"what?"

"Guitar."

Hua Junshu tilted his head, his expression full of doubt.

I have a performance for a gala.

Li Yan briefly talked about the band, but he actually felt that his senior's interests were too limited.

This is a good opportunity to expand.

"If you don't like it, then forget it. I can play it myself."

"Try it first."

Hua Junshu put down her bag, her expression calm. She was also a new generation of teenagers, and her ability to accept new things was not so bad.

However, due to her family's financial difficulties, she was not allowed to have many pleasures in the past.

Now, with her Bilibili account, she doesn't need to worry too much.

"Then go to my room."

"it is good."

After getting up and washing up, Mei Mengqian went next door and found that no one was in the living room, the bedroom door was tightly closed, and there were faint sounds coming from inside. So she went into the bedroom.

"Hmm, a little lower."

"Use some force, otherwise it won't stay still."

"pain."

"Just bear with it, it's always like this the first time."

Hearing her senior and Li Yan's hushed conversation, Mei Mengqian's eyes widened immediately.

My mind was a complete mess, and I instinctively shoved the door open and rushed inside.

"you!"

"You guys are practicing guitar?" she said timidly.
