I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 186 A Small Mistake

"Confession balloon?"

Hua Junshu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pursed his lips, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Li Yan pressed on while the iron was hot:

"Does the senior know why Japan has such a developed anime industry?"

Looking at him, Hua Junshu didn't speak, he just shook his head.

"Because they were a second-generation nation a long time ago."

"Cough!" Hua Junshu reacted quickly this time, and almost choked on his own saliva, but he couldn't stop himself from spitting it out.

A faint smile appeared on her cool face, like a touch of new green in a desolate winter field, attracting attention.

However, Li Yan continued talking and no longer wanted her to answer.

"Nezha's Conquest of the Dragon King is a story with a backstory."

"Giggle!"

Hua Junshu couldn't hold back any longer. Although the last two jokes felt a bit off, he really couldn't help himself.

"Please stop talking, I'm not upset."

She raised her hand and patted Li Yan, her body trembling violently. Fortunately, it was only winter, and she couldn't see anything.

The boys from Class 1 of the second year of high school behind them all had expressionless faces. If the situation hadn't prevented it, they would have already swarmed forward and beaten the boy in front of them to death.

The girls, on the other hand, talked more about gossip about Li Yan and Hua Junshu.

But a large portion of them didn't quite understand.

How come Hua Junshu is such a cold person, yet that first-year high school boy could stand it and even make her laugh?

The fact that the flower tree can laugh is as rare as an iron tree blooming.

So much so that although many people disliked Li Yan, even more people were looking at Hua Junshu.

Your smile is so beautiful!

It's a pity he wasn't smiling at them.

"In that case, why don't we take a walk together, senior? You seem pretty bored."

Li Yan suggested that Hua Junshu sit alone at the front of the line, with only the teacher sitting with her, which would make her look very prestigious.

But I felt isolated by my classmates.

Hua Junshu nodded, a smile still lingering on his face, stood up, and gave Li Yan a long, wistful look.

She felt that this guy had ruined her aloof image and she couldn't stay there any longer.

So the two of them started walking around the playground.

"Senior, does your class have any performances?"

Yes, a short skit.

"It's about to start, shall we go backstage and take a look?"

"it is good."

Hua Junshu didn't care. Seeing that he had already started walking in that direction, he followed.

There wasn't much to see after the performance; everyone's preparations were quite basic.

If they put on makeup and changed clothes, that's already a big production!

The program in Hua Junshu's class was very simple. Three or five people would bring a few books and that was it.

When these people saw Hua Junshu coming to see them, they were all very excited and put on a great show.

Li Yan looked a little embarrassed. He usually didn't feel embarrassed for others unless he couldn't help it.

"Are you still watching, senior?"

"dont see."

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice suddenly called out to them.

"Wait, Li Yan."

Ye Hui walked over with an apologetic expression on her face.

"Excuse me, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"What's wrong?" Li Yan turned around and looked at him.

"The male host has diarrhea and went to the restroom. Can you fill in for him?"

Ye Hui looked up at him and said, "It will only take a little while, not too long. You don't need to say anything when you stand up, just quickly move on to the next program."

"Can't you host it by yourself?"

"The school requires that two people be on stage at the same time." Ye Hui's face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Okay," Li Yan agreed; he also wanted to give it a try.

I remember my dream in the second year of junior high school was to become a host, but I gave it up later.

You'll get fined for saying the wrong thing.

I heard that everyone is working while owed wages.

Li Yan has now evolved into a lazy bum without any dreams, but it's not impossible to indulge in a little bit of his middle school self.

The performance wasn't over yet, so Li Yan wasn't in a hurry to go up. He casually asked Hua Junshu, who was standing next to him.

"Senior, what are your dreams?"

"Have."

Hua Junshu paused for a moment, then nodded.

"return to the past."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan was speechless; it was indeed a dream.

The atmosphere became a little silent, and he looked at Ye Hui.

"What about you, class monitor?"

"Me? I want a younger sister."

"Well, this can hardly be considered a dream, can it?"

Ye Hui said seriously, "To be precise, I want a younger sister to help me inherit the family fortune."

"I will nurture her abilities as an heir, and then she will manage the family business while I become a great adventurer, traveling all over the world."

Li Yan was speechless. "Then I wish you, squad leader, that your dream comes true."

"I don't think that will work. My parents are getting old, and they might give birth to a child with intellectual disabilities. It won't do if the child isn't as smart as me."

The two chatted while Hua Junshu listened from the side, neither interrupting nor wanting to.

The skit ended quickly, and Li Yan, holding a microphone, walked onto the stage with Ye Hui.

Some people noticed that the male host had been replaced, but didn't pay much attention.

But Class 1 of Grade 11 is different.

"When did the class representative become a host?"

"On the big screen, the class monitor looks even more handsome now. I want to live inside his eyes." Yu Bin glanced at Xiao Shuai and said, "I'm staying in Bengbu."

"Xiao Shuai, stop being so abstract. If it were someone else, I would laugh, but if it's the class monitor, I suspect you really do have a problem with your orientation."

"Boiled!"

Xiao Shuai smirked, "I'm just speaking up for some of the infatuated girls in our class."

"Which ones are infatuated with you?" Jiang Yingzhu suddenly leaned over and asked.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Xiao Shuai sensed a murderous aura and immediately shut up.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't pay any attention and instead joined Mei Mengqian and the others in discussing Li Yan's appointment to the stage.

"Why did he go up on stage? Didn't he tell you, Mengmeng?"

"No, Zhuzhu doesn't know either," Mei Mengqian said.

"It's reasonable to speculate that he was conscripted."

Jiang Yingzhu also thought it made sense, and then she heard Guo Cailing praise her.

"Li Yan is amazing. He wasn't nervous at all with so many people watching. He must have never been a host before."

"No." Jiang Yingzhu nodded. However, she disagreed with the claim that Li Yan was capable.

She decided to shatter their illusions, so she said, "He's not shy because he's thick-skinned. You don't know, last time we went to that cake shop on the back street to buy a cake, he directly led us to cut in line."

"what?"

"Also, he's a really silly guy. I once saw him doing Tai Chi on his balcony. Isn't that hilarious? I even suspect someone on the street downstairs was recording a video."

"what?!"

"Also, this person has no taste in clothes. Look at his outfit. Compared to Ye Hui, he looks like a country bumpkin who came to the city."

Jiang Yingzhu looked at them, then casually pointed to the big screen. Yu Qingya and the others looked over and found that a new performance had already begun on stage.

However, they still remembered Li Yan's attire.

A classic reflective blue cotton-padded jacket, paired with blue jeans, ordinary sneakers, and a plaid sweater underneath—all very flashy.

If you changed your face and put on this outfit, you probably wouldn't attract any attention on the street.

"That's true." Yu Qingya looked in Jiang Yingzhu's direction and nodded.

"Right?" Jiang Yingzhu said dismissively, feeling she had already outdone Li Yan, and continued:
"Also, he's extremely narcissistic. He even put a full-length mirror in his room, which I didn't."

"He's narcissistic, and lazy too. He was too lazy to get up before and wouldn't give me his seat."

Jiang Yingzhu immediately began to criticize each and every one of them.

Yu Qingya and the others went from being surprised at first to having strange expressions.

Mei Mengqian, who was sitting to her side, hesitated to speak.

Jiang Yingzhu was so engrossed in talking that she hadn't finished yet.

"Another thing is that he is very childish. He is already a high school student and still has a lot of toys. He is even worse than the kid next door."

"Really? Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yingzhu nodded and turned to look in the direction from which the holy voice came.

They met Li Yan's deep gaze.

He didn't know when, but he had sat down in a spot a little behind and to the side of him.

"Forehead"

Jiang Yingzhu was stuck in place, unable to process the information.

"Pfft!" A soft laugh came from Mei Mengqian's mouth, and then Yu Qingya and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.

"O(∩_∩)O Hahaha~"

Jiang Yingzhu noticed that there were senior students standing behind Li Yan, and she wondered how long they had been listening.

My brain just doesn't feel like working anymore, maybe I should just die!
"Why did you stop talking? What else?" Li Yan asked, looking at her.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes darted around; after restarting, she had an inspiration.

"And then there's your childhood sweetheart, a really good person. She plays with you, eats with you, does silly things with you, is childish with you, and even grew up with you. Now she's made a small mistake, can you bear to blame her?!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yingzhu herself became a little moved.

"Are you saying I'm useless, and my only advantage is meeting you?" Li Yan maintained the same expression as his senior, but without any expression.

Mei Mengqian, Yu Qingya, and the others, who had already recovered, were suddenly stunned.

The laughter gradually became uncontrollable, like a tractor.

"Hey, hey, hey, you said it yourself. It has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yingzhu quickly waved her hand, barely able to suppress her smile.

Li Yan rolled his eyes.

"My dear childhood sweetheart, you're so kind, and I'm so lazy. From now on, you'll take care of breakfast."

Jiang Yingzhu gritted her teeth, "Fine!"

"My fashion sense is terrible, so from now on you'll take care of all my clothes. You don't need to buy them; you can just wash them."

"Good~"

Jiang Yingzhu's heart was bleeding. This person's permission to do her laundry hadn't expired yet, although it wouldn't be for many more days.

I'm now in debt for who knows how long!

"I'm also very narcissistic, probably because I'm ignorant. Can you read some books for me? Read for an hour every day."

"Okay~~"

Jiang Yingzhu's brow twitched slightly. An hour of her game time was gone. How much joy could she have gained in an hour?

"You also have to sleep with me? I'm such a child, what if I want to play house or something like a wedding night in the middle of the night?"

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Yingzhu blushed deeply. How could she say such a thing with so many people around?

And this is so outrageous, he really is a scoundrel!
Jiang Yingzhu kicked him.

"That's it, that's it."

"I suspect you're trying to renege on your debt."

Jiang Yingzhu turned her head away and remained silent.

It's decided. From now on, she will be mute. Once the storm has passed, she will return to normal.

To avoid the limelight, she chose to wear headphones, so she couldn't hear anything and didn't want to talk about it.

After holding back all afternoon, Jiang Yingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when it was time for their performance.

Once he knew the storm had passed, he immediately got up.

"Go go go! Hurry up and get the instruments, I'm about to shock the whole audience!" Jiang Yingzhu said.

However, she saw Li Yan reach out and point at Yu Bing, Mei Mengqian, and Hua Junshu.

"I told you she could only last until the show's performance. You lost, so you have to call her 'brother'."
