I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 176 Just Want To
"Are you still going to blow it? My cheeks are hurting."

"My hands are a little sore too."

"."

Hua Junshu didn't speak. She had already learned Li Yan's score, so it didn't matter whether she continued or not.

The three of them faced each other, and Li Yan felt that it was about time.

The past two hours have been enough to distract them.

"No need, I'll go buy some groceries and I can cook dinner when I get back," Li Yan said.

"Together! I've finished my snacks." Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly.

"Should I go too, senior? Want to come with me?"

"it is good."

The four of them went out. A light drizzle was falling from the sky. The fine raindrops, like cow's hair, drifted down on them, and they barely felt it.

So they didn't go back to get the umbrella.

Along the way, you can see some shops with colorful lights and stickers.

There was an apple vendor by the roadside, a middle-aged woman pushing a tricycle, the back of which was full of apples.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two women realized that

"Oh, it's Christmas today? I didn't even realize it."

"Let's go buy some apples," Mei Mengqian said. "That stall owner looks so pitiful; it's raining, and he's not even going home."

"can."

Jiang Yingzhu stopped Mei Mengqian and her companion who were about to buy apples, and pointed at Li Yan.

"Don't go, let him go."

"What are you looking at? Behave yourself. You used to buy all of these."

Li Yan thought to himself, "It seems like I buy the same thing every year, except for the second and third days of the Lunar New Year."

Going further back, he had no idea about Christmas.

Mei Mengqian blinked and stopped walking.

"Giving apples is a sign of a good friend."

Hua Junshu also stopped, his expression blank, his bright eyes fixed on Li Yan.

"Ok."

Li Yan nodded and pointed, "And what about you guys?!"

"We'll go too."

The four of them went to the apple stall run by the elderly woman and asked about the price.

The middle-aged woman glanced at the three people, noticing their youthful faces—clearly students—and the fact that there was one boy and three girls, she immediately formed a plan. She chuckled and said:

"They sell for ten yuan each in the store, but I'm cheaper here, five yuan each, three for ten yuan. There are four of you, so you'll want four, right?"

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes and patted Mei Mengqian. Mei Mengqian was a little indignant; she had just felt sorry for this old lady.

She pities her, but people won't feel sorry for her; instead, they'll treat her like a fool.

Mei Mengqian glanced at the apples in the truck bed, the most ordinary kind.

"Let's go to the supermarket. The products there are packaged and look nicer."

Mei Mengqian said quietly, and Hua Junshu nodded as well. He glanced at the apples and reached out to tug at Li Yan.

"Okay then, let's go to the supermarket."

The woman quickly changed her tune, "Oh dear, the supermarket's apples aren't as fresh as mine! These are all organic apples that I just picked yesterday. I'll give you a discount, three yuan each, how about that?"

Mei Mengqian turned around and glanced at her again, "It's not about the money, it's about you as a person."

The four of them didn't dwell on what had just happened. They entered the supermarket, and Hua Junshu began selecting ingredients. Jiang Yingzhu noticed that she seemed quite professional, unlike Li Yan, who was just putting on an act.

"Senior, you know how to pick vegetables!"

"Ah."

Hua Junshu nodded slightly, picked up a cucumber, and said to Jiang Yingzhu and the other person:
"For cucumbers, choose those with thorns, with an even and glossy color, and a straight or slightly curved shape. Avoid deformed ones."

"Oh~, sogasne."

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian nodded repeatedly, indicating that they had learned something.

"What about the green peppers?"

"First, look at the surface; if it's too smooth or the color is too bright..."

The two of them stopped rushing to buy snacks and listened with great interest to Hua Junshu's explanation of the techniques for selecting ingredients.

So Li Yan went to get the ingredients first, and Teacher Hua's mini-class didn't end until he came back after selecting the items.

However, it has been moved from the vegetable section to the fruit section.

"Let's go, we've already picked out the vegetables."

"What's the rush? I haven't finished learning yet!" Jiang Yingzhu glared at him.

"Go and pick out some snacks for me first."

"Correct!"

Li Yan pursed his lips and looked at the two of them, "Then let me ask you, how do you choose tomatoes?"

"First"

Jiang Yingzhu opened her mouth, feeling that she knew it, but she just couldn't say it.

My mind went completely blank!
Jiang Yingzhu looked to Mengmeng for help, and then saw Mei Mengqian looking at her senior with pleading eyes.

"Forgot? You should save your energy."

"Nonsense! I clearly memorized it. Someone must have deleted the knowledge we worked so hard to learn!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's terrible, punish her by not letting her eat dinner tonight." Li Yan nodded.

Jiang Yingzhu immediately looked distressed, and Mei Mengqian quickly said:

"I wasn't deleted, I just forgot about it."

Jiang Yingzhu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The wounds of betrayal never heal!
Hua Junshu glanced at them, finding it quite interesting, but he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

"If you want to know these things, I'll write them down for you when we get back. You can just memorize them when you have some free time."

Upon hearing that she had to memorize it, Jiang Yingzhu immediately showed resistance, saying, "I'd rather come to the supermarket more often."

"Okay."

Li Yan believes that the senior student has not yet seen through Jiang Yingzhu's true nature.

She only comes to the supermarket to buy snacks.

After finishing my shopping and leaving the supermarket, the light drizzle had stopped.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the sky, which remained overcast.

"Hey, do you think it's going to snow? It's so cold."

"Probably not, it rarely snows here." Mei Mengqian also looked up at the sky.

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu glanced at the sky and said, "The weather forecast says it will rain lightly today."

"Do you want to see snow?" Li Yan asked.

“That’s obvious, I haven’t seen one in years.” Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him sideways.

"Then think about it."

"Tch!" Jiang Yingzhu curled her lip, feeling that those words were not a compliment.

After walking another hundred meters, Hua Junshu suddenly raised his head and hand, catching a crystal-clear hexagonal snowflake.

"Snowing."

Wow! Really?!

“It’s really snowing.”

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian also noticed the snowflakes and reached out to catch them with delight.

Hua Junshu glanced at Li Yan, feeling it was a coincidence, and then stared directly at him.

"Senior, why are you looking at me like that?"

What weather app do you use?

"I am an immortal, and I use immortal magic."

"fine."

Hua Junshu pursed his lips, looking slightly unhappy.

"You're a bit naive."

Li Yan was speechless; no one believed him when he told the truth.

"Moji APP"

Hua Junshu nodded, and the four of them continued walking in the snow.

Jiang Yingzhu wanted to take photos, so she used a cup of U-Love-Me to pick out a girl on the roadside to take pictures for them.

It was a very simple street photo; Li Yan and his three companions were just walking around normally.

He walked in the middle, carrying a bag of vegetables, just like Hua Junshu next to him.

However, in his other hand, he was carrying a bag of gift-boxed apples.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian walked on the other side, carrying snacks in their hands.

The young lady who was asked to take photos took several pictures in a row, and finally returned the phone to Jiang Yingzhu.

"How about it?"

"It looks great, sister, you have excellent photography skills."

"Hehe, that's good."

The young woman breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Li Yan. He was quite handsome, but surrounded by three pretty girls; she wondered what their relationship was. Jiang Yingzhu flipped through the photos and saw one where all four people had unmelted snow clinging to their heads, making them look like they had white hair—a strikingly different look.

So he shared it directly with the three of them.

"Look, your hair has turned white."

“Yours has turned white too,” Li Yan said.

Hua Junshu glanced at it twice and nodded.

"Send it to me, I'll get it fixed, it'll look better."

Jiang Yingzhu had no objections and sent the photos. When she turned around, she noticed that Mengmeng's face was flushed.

She raised her hand and touched Mei Mengqian's forehead.

"Mengmeng, you have a fever? That shouldn't be the case."

"No." Mei Mengqian pushed her hand away, pursed her lips, and didn't explain why her face was red.

She simply remembered a romantic phrase that perfectly described the scene in the photo.

"No fever, could it be a fever?"

"Oh, Zhuzhu!"

"Hehe, I didn't say anything."

Back home, Hua Junshu went to cook, and Li Yan brought over an apple, giving one to his senior first.

"Senior, this is for you."

"Thank you."

"Senior, why don't you stay here tonight? It'll be dark by the time we finish dinner."

Hua Junshu glanced at him and nodded. "Okay."

Remembering something he hadn't asked last time, Li Yan wondered, "If my senior stays at my place tonight, won't my roommates gossip?"

"She went home for vacation."

Hua Junshu shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about it anymore. I heard the school dormitories are going to be renovated to provide single rooms for outstanding students."

"Oh, oh." Li Yan stroked his chin, looking somewhat intrigued. He had never lived in a dormitory except during his university years.

"Wouldn't a single dorm room be more convenient?"

"Yes, it has a private bathroom, but nothing else."

Li Yan chatted for a while longer, and then he saw Hua Junshu take a pair of red socks out of his pocket and hand them to him.

He remembered that when he was at the supermarket, the three girls said they were going to the restroom, and they ended up buying this.

Li Yan didn't peek at the time, so he became curious about what the other two were.

He put away the socks, took the two apples, and went next door.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other person were tidying up the snacks when they saw what Li Yan brought and immediately nodded.

"Good, good, be a good boy, this is yours."

She tossed a pair of red gloves at me.

Mei Mengqian also brought out a hat, the same style as Santa Claus.

A red hat, socks, and a cover.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was his zodiac year.

·······
The following Monday, Li Yan and his three friends rode their bikes to school.

Upon arriving at school, everyone went to their respective classrooms.

As soon as I sat down, I heard calls from all around me, as if I were seeing my own parents.

"Class monitor, could I borrow your deskmate's math homework?"

"Li Yan, can I borrow your Mengmeng's English homework?"

"Student Committee Member."

Mei Mengqian blushed immediately and said to Yu Qingya, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't give it to you."

"No, Mengmeng!"

Li Yan gave Ye Hui's homework to the person behind her because Mei Mengqian's homework was given to the person in front.

Fortunately, he had two deskmates.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the father of these people.

"Thanks, Godfather!"

Xiao Shuai clasped his hands in a fist salute and began writing furiously with his homework in hand.

"Your handwriting isn't really a problem if you don't copy it."

Li Yan glanced at his scribbles, which were so hastily written in a rush that they were completely illegible.

"Godfather, I had ulterior motives."

"Oh, I forgot, this is math."

Li Yan nodded and turned around.

After Xiao Shuai finished copying the math, he started working on the Chinese. When he looked up, he noticed that Zhang Wei, who was sitting next to him, still looked miserable.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

"When I first arrived, I ran into my homeroom teacher at Maixiangyuan on campus. He sat across from me while I was playing on my phone."

Zhang Wei sighed, "Brother Xiao, do you think I'll get punished by the homeroom teacher later?"

"Brother Wei, I don't know, but if you didn't do your homework, you'll probably be punished."

Zhang Wei suddenly felt that it wasn't so dark anymore, so he quickly grabbed Ma Liang's finished homework and started copying it.

As for Xiao Shuai's, I don't understand it.

After I finished writing last time, I was told not to doodle in my notebook.

While they were copying homework, an apple appeared on Li Yan's desk in the front row.

"Yesterday was Christmas, and my mom received several boxes of apples and asked me to bring some to my classmates."

Yu Bing took out another apple and placed it on Mei Mengqian's desk.

Then one was given to each of Yu Qingya and the others.

"Thank you, Bingbing."

The commotion here attracted the attention of those around, as if a switch had been flipped.

There were always students who would go out and then come back with a few boxes of apples, which they would then give away.

It seems like Christmas, which has passed during the holiday period, has never truly ended.

The number of apples on Li Yan and Mei Mengqian's table kept increasing.

The girls were all close friends, and they had a clear goal: they bought two or three items and gave them directly to their best friends.

Boys can do this too, but it's rare.

If you buy a gift for your brother during a holiday, he might think you're trying to seduce him.

If you are buying a very important gift.

Then you might even kill him.

Most boys bought more than ten, or seven or eight apples, and distributed them in large quantities.

In reality, his target was just a girl he had a crush on.

There are girls like this too, but not many.

Li Yan found it quite interesting.

Of course, some people also give candy.

He recalled that in his past life, he had done the same thing.

However, he and Mei Mengqian did not receive the most gifts; the class monitor, Ye Hui, received the most.

Ye Hui has bought many things for everyone, and many people are taking this opportunity to express their gratitude.

"Squad leader, this is for you."

"There's no room left."

"It's okay, just put it on the ground."

Ye Hui felt helpless. The situation only eased slightly when Li Ping arrived at the classroom during the morning self-study session.

"Hey, are the three giants in our class planning to start a business?"

As soon as Li Ping entered, he saw the things on the table of Li Yan and the other two.

The classroom erupted in laughter.

"They were given to me by my classmates," Ye Hui said.

“Yes, teacher, you’re disturbing my studies,” said Chen Xiyuan, who had been ignored the whole time.

He was sitting right next to Ye Hui, so how come he didn't get a single apple?

"I see a lot of people catching up on their homework. They didn't do it during the holidays, but they're doing it at school now. No more homework! Recite your lessons!"

Li Ping didn't look at him, said a few meaningless words, and left.

Chen Xiyuan looked completely bewildered, wondering if he had heard him speak.

Meanwhile, the students continued doing their homework, and Yu Bin sang songs with Xiao Shuai while writing, making it even noisier.

"Damn it, this card is gone!"

"Let's change it," Xiao Shuai said, looking towards the door with a hint of doubt.

"Why isn't Li Ping in charge of the morning self-study session during the first period, Chinese? Did he switch classes?"

Xiao Shuai didn't want to switch classes; he still had several assignments to finish, and he could finish them in Chinese class.

After all, apart from poetry and classical Chinese, there's not much else interesting to listen to in Chinese class.
