I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 182 The Legacy of Cao Cao
There are still twenty minutes until afternoon class starts.

"Brother Xiao, before the performance starts, shall we go to the convenience store and buy some snacks?" Zhang Wei said to Xiao Shuai.

Xiao Shuai sat there calmly, still playing ranked games with Yu Bin.

"What's the rush, Wei Ge? Why should we waste our own time? Do you think the school leaders don't have to give speeches during the New Year's Day performance?"

"Brother Xiao is the smartest." Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Then let's go while the leader is speaking."

Hearing the conversation in the back row, Mei Mengqian's eyes darted around and she looked at Li Yan.

Do you want some snacks?

"I do not want."

Li Yan smiled and glanced at his deskmate, whose face immediately puffed up.

"But if it's a snack you bought, then I'll eat it."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian's eyes immediately curved into a smile.

"Shall we wait until the show starts to buy them?"

“That works too.” Li Yan nodded.

Yu Bing heard them talking and joined the conversation.

What snacks should we buy?

They also indicated that they could eat different kinds of food.

During the conversation, Lin Yufan and the others who had gone to dance practice at noon returned, each with beads of sweat on their faces.

Seeing them like this, Mei Mengqian couldn't help but say, "You guys are really pushing your limits."

"That's how dancing is. I'm getting into the zone now so I don't mess up later," Lin Yufan said.

Yu Qingya nodded in agreement, "There are quite a few people dancing this time, we can't let our class down."

“Yes, yes! And the class next door is even more dedicated; I saw them wearing miniskirts,” Guo Cailing said.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings became quiet, and the previously noisy male students all looked over.

"A super short skirt!"

Yu Qingya repeated a sentence to Li Yan, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"So, class representative, aren't you eager to see?"

Suddenly, Li Yan felt a gaze fixed on him, and he was speechless.

"Xiao Shuai wants to see it."

It's just dancing in a miniskirt; it's not like he hasn't seen it before. Although he still wants to see it now, he's managed to remain calm.

Who could resist long legs, a slim waist, and an invincible youthful beauty?

“Yes, yes!” Xiao Shuai nodded, then looked at Yu Qingya and the other two.

"Speaking of which, the dance team from the next class is wearing miniskirts, what are you guys wearing? Not these big cotton-padded coats, are you?"

"How could that be? No way you can see it." Lin Yufan said casually.

Just then, the homeroom teacher, Li Ping, entered the classroom to make an announcement.

"Alright, everyone, get ready. Let's go to the playground to assemble, and bring your chairs."

"Oh oh oh!!"

A burst of excited clamor immediately erupted.

They haven't had a single holiday or activity since November, and they're going stir-crazy.

Li Yan helped Mei Mengqian pick up her stool, and then picked up Ye Hui's as well.

"Thank you."

Ye Hui nodded and took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to him.

"This is the schedule for our class's performances. We didn't have time to print it out, so I copied it down temporarily. Take a look, and please share it with everyone."

Ye Hui wore a slightly formal outfit this afternoon. Although it wasn't a formal dress, she looked dignified at first glance.

Li Yan glanced at her and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving this to me?"

Recently, she has been doing these kinds of things herself.

Li Yan was just a class representative, acting as a mascot.

However, Ye Hui didn't participate in the conversation just now, so it seems she was doing this.

"I'm one of the hosts of the gala, so I need to go on stage." Ye Hui pursed her lips.

Li Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Mei Mengqian, who was standing next to him, glanced at Ye Hui with envy.

"The class monitor is amazing; he was actually invited by the school to be a host."

Yu Qingya and the others who were with her nodded in agreement.

Just thinking about this kind of thing is incredibly stressful.

"No."

Ye Hui looked at everyone and said, "The last year's gala hosts made things too awkward, so this year the school decided not to have teachers host, but to select two students instead."

Everyone: "..."

Good, good, this school is really something else.

"Don't the students feel embarrassed?" Mei Mengqian couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not embarrassed," Ye Hui said calmly.

Li Yan recalled the evening party that was entirely for first-year high school students, and it proved that student hosts were not awkward at all.

Because students don't do much fancy stuff, like livening up the atmosphere or making a joke.

He can still remember that the two teachers hosted the party in his second year of high school. They thought they could liven up the atmosphere by telling corny jokes.

If the show is hosted by two students who have never experienced this before, then it's just a matter of the show starting, ending, and moving on to the next show.

On the playground, a large stage was set up opposite the national flag, with a huge screen behind it, and large helium balloons floating in the sky, displaying banners.

The writing on the banner looked quite old; it was probably about celebrating the New Year's Day performance.

The location of Class 1, Grade 1 is closer to the cafeteria and not directly facing the stage.

However, it's not a big deal; if you can't see people, you can look at the screen.

"I saw Zhuzhu." Mei Mengqian pointed in a direction. Jiang Yingzhu was holding a class sign in her hand, which was upside down, resembling a warhammer, as if she thought so too.

The way the people around him were looking at him seemed to say, "Let me give you a good whack!"
Behind her was Gan Tiantian, who was carrying two stools.

Li Yan felt that Class 8's location was quite good, almost directly facing the stage, allowing them to clearly see the positive effects of the performance.

Next is the location of Class 1, Grade 11, which is about the same. We can visit them later.

But who would seriously watch the performance on New Year's Day?

As soon as Li Yan put down the stool, Lin Yufan and the others urged him impatiently.

"Quick, quick! Check the program schedule, what if it's our class opening ceremony?"

Mei Mengqian, standing beside her, was also staring intently.

"probably not."

Li Yan had already scanned the program schedule with his divine sense.

So without looking at it himself, he took out Ye Hui's handwritten copy and handed it to them.

"Huh? We're sixth. Let me see. Mengmeng, you guys are the last one!"

Mei Mengqian nodded; she had seen it too.

So he immediately took a picture and sent it to Jiang Yingzhu.

Dream: [Image]

Dream: Piggy, we're on the last one!
Dream retracted a message

Dream: Zhuzhu, our last one

Bamboo: I saw it.

Jiang Yingzhu sent an emoji of a big dog pointing with its finger.

Mei Mengqian's face fell; she really didn't mean it. She quickly typed something to salvage the situation.

Meng: I'm going to buy snacks later, it's my treat.
Bamboo: Yes
Li Yan ignored his classmate's reckless behavior; he posted something even funnier.

Li Yan and the others sat in seats towards the back because of their height.

However, the seating arrangement for the New Year's Eve party does not actually need to be too strict.

However, everyone still subconsciously arranged themselves according to height, with two rows for boys and two rows for girls.

At this moment, Yang Xiong found Ye Daijia sitting next to Liang Xueyi.

"Brother Ye, let's switch seats."

"What?" Ye Daijia saw through his thoughts at a glance and winked, "You finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

"Ahem, Brother Ye, just tell me if you want to switch or not?" Yang Xiong coughed twice.

Upon seeing this, Ye Daijia let out two strange laughs.

"If you answer my question honestly, I'll switch with you."

Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"alright."

He leaned close to Ye Daijia's ear and whispered:
“I do have some feelings for Liang Xueyi, especially after reading a book, I think she’s even more beautiful now.”

"Why is that?" Ye Daijia asked instinctively.

He did try to pursue Liang Xueyi, but she completely ignored him.

Moreover, he didn't think Liang Xueyi was pretty at all; it was just that there was no one prettier than her in the class, which was why Ye Daijia chose to pursue her.

Yang Xiong smiled mysteriously and said only four words.

"The legacy of Cao Cao".

"Who is Wei Wu?" Ye Daijia was even more puzzled.

Yang Xiong tugged at the corners of his mouth, sighed deeply, and patted his shoulder.

"Brother Ye, if all else fails, you should find a class to attend. Studying might not be the right fit for you."

“I know,” Ye Daijia said nonchalantly. “My dad said that I went to school to find a wife. He said that love during student days is the purest, and he will give me a 20 yuan reward if I find one.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiong fell silent and patted him on the shoulder again.

"Brother Ye, you should get up. This is my seat."

Ye Daijia felt that he was acting strangely. She picked up her stool and stood up. He still gave this old classmate a lot of face.

Then Yang Xiong sat down and greeted Liang Xueyi, who was chatting with her girlfriends.

"Haha, Liang Xueyi, what are you guys talking about?"

Liang Xueyi smiled at Butterfly and Xiao Yaya, then turned to look at Yang Xiong, a faint smile on her fair face.

"We didn't talk much. Besides, I'm going to buy water later and some snacks while I'm at it. Otherwise, just watching the show is really boring."

"Yang Xiong, would you like something to eat? We'll get it for you."

Liang Xueyi said softly, looking exceptionally friendly, like a neighbor. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had something attractive about her.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiong felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he waved his hands repeatedly.

"No need, no need! How could I let you girls go? You can eat or drink whatever you want, it's on me."

"You don't need to treat me, we girls have money too." Liang Xueyi said, taking out twenty yuan from her pocket and saying to Yang Xiong:
"Could you buy us some water and snacks? If you have any left over, you can buy some for yourself."

Yang Xiong was deeply moved, thinking that the two were just classmates, yet Liang Xueyi was so considerate.

If I could truly win the heart of my beloved...

Yang Xiong hurriedly took the 20 yuan, stammering slightly:
"Thank you... I'll go buy it for you right now."

As he spoke, he sprinted toward the nearest cafeteria and supermarket.

Hu Die and Xiao Yaya were looking at Liang Xueyi from the front and back, and were a little stunned when they saw this.

"Xueyi, he said he'd treat us, why don't you let him pay for it himself?"

“Yes, yes, he seems interested in you, so it’s only right that he spends money on you,” Xiao Yaya said.

Liang Xueyi smiled slightly, glanced at her sworn sister, and prepared to reveal some of her unique secrets.

“What can you buy with 20 yuan? Just a bottle of water costs at least 10 yuan for each of us, so he will definitely have to pay more out of his own pocket.”
