I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 197 Congee Eight
After touring the new house, Jiang Yingzhu couldn't wait any longer and pointed to a room on the second floor facing Zhou Qinqin, saying:

"I want to stay in this room!"

She looked at Li Yan.

"Okay, okay, you can stay in any room."

Li Yan then looked at Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu.

"Mengmeng, senior, where do you live?"

"what?"

"Ok?"

Mei Mengqian hadn't mentally prepared herself yet. Although she told herself that she was just coming to live with Zhuzhu, it wasn't a big deal.

But when the house is actually in front of you, and the choice truly arises...

She hesitated again.

What decent girl would just stay at someone else's house like that?
Although she and Li Yan had a very good relationship.

It can't be considered anyone else.

“Yes, Mengmeng, you guys should choose too. We can play together during the holidays, it’ll be so convenient,” Jiang Yingzhu said, pulling Mei Mengqian along.

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian hesitated and said, "Then let's have Zhuzhu next door."

"no problem."

Li Yan smiled and nodded, looking at his senior.

"I won't."

Hua Junshu hesitated and shook his head. Mei Mengqian was a tenant, so it could be said that she was just moving to another place to continue renting.

She's not a tenant. Just because she's friends with Li Yan, does that mean she can move into his house without any problem?

That doesn't make sense.

Jiang Yingzhu blinked and mouthed something to Mei Mengqian.

'Li Yan is really stupid'

Mei Mengqian felt a strong sense of agreement, and couldn't agree more.

After all, how could one easily agree to something like this?

Li Yan pretended not to see their little interaction, nodded upon hearing this, and did not insist.

Hua Junshu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say:
"You can also rent a place, senior. I can help you rent it out. Isn't this place more convenient than the school dormitory?"

"And winter break is coming soon, senior. Your house is going to be demolished, so quite a few people must have already moved away."

"There are no surveillance cameras there, few people, and it's dark at night. It's too dangerous."

Hua Junshu was stunned for a moment, feeling a warm current flow through her heart. She hadn't expected Li Yan to say what she was worried about.

The house there is no longer suitable; she now has an income.

Originally, I planned to rent one to stay in during the holidays, as it would be closer to the bus station near the telecommunications building where Li Yan and the others lived.

She wanted to be closer to him.

But plans can change, and unexpectedly, Li Yan planned to stay here.

Hearing her say that, Hua Junshu was indeed a little tempted.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she did not immediately agree and glanced at Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian.

"Let me think about it."

"Okay, let's go build a snowman."

Li Yan changed the subject.

With his help, the snowman was quickly built.

As for why the snow would gather into a snowdrift on its own in advance.

How did Li Yan know?

Thursday has arrived, the day of Minor Cold in the lunar calendar.

Laba Festival.

Li Yan remembers that the first time he drank Laba porridge was in the countryside, when his grandmother cooked it.

It tastes very mild, with a hint of saltiness.

It didn't suit his taste at the time; children like sweet things.

It turned out that eating too much sweet food is also bad, as it can easily cause tooth decay.

toothache.

He was indifferent to Laba porridge, but Jiang Yingzhu quite liked it.

So at noon, the group decided to eat Laba porridge outside.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't want the kind of stuff served at the steamed bun shop, so she searched along the main street and finally found what she wanted at the farmhouse-style restaurant that Zhou Qinqin had taken them to last time.

"Porridge alone isn't enough, let's have some vegetables too."

As Jiang Yingzhu spoke, she scribbled and drew on the menu.

Finally, she glanced inside the restaurant; it was quite crowded, and all the seats were taken.

The shop owner, who was in charge of odd jobs, also noticed this and said with a smile:
"Would the three of you like to eat here? Let me make room for you. Please sit for a while, and there will be a table soon."

"No need, ma'am, can you deliver? We live on the street across the street." Upon hearing this, the radiant ma'am clapped her hands.

"That house you were renovating before, right? No problem! We'll deliver it to you as soon as it's finished, I promise!"

She remembered that when Li Yan's house was being renovated, the workers came to her house for meals every day.

"Yes, that's it. The proprietress packed up some Laba porridge for us to tide us over."

Jiang Yingzhu said that she had been studying all morning and walking all the way, so she was very hungry.

"no problem."

The proprietress quickly took out three takeout boxes and filled them with three bowls.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at Li Yan's bowl and chuckled.

She knew Li Yan didn't like it, so this way she could have an extra serving.

Li Yan glanced at her sideways and said, "What are you laughing at, you idiot?"

"You are the fool."

Jiang Yingzhu walked and ate while holding a bowl in her hand, not wanting to lower herself to his level.

She glanced at Mengmeng, whose side was occupied by Mei Mengqian, who had already drunk several mouthfuls and was making a fortune in silence.

Jiang Yingzhu was relieved that it was packaged in smaller portions and that she hadn't run into Li Yan.

Mengmeng is too good at sneaking around.

As Li Yan approached the door, before he could even take out his key, he was drawn by several soft, delicate meows.

"Meow~"

He immediately spotted a tiny kitten in front of the door, barely bigger than a mouse.

"Wow, a kitten!" Jiang Yingzhu immediately spotted the little creature at the door and rushed over.

"It's so tiny, where did it come from?!"

Arriving at the gate, Jiang Yingzhu looked at the kitten curled up at the entrance with a look of surprise.

"Li Yan, it looks like it wants to sneak into your house."

"That's because you scared it." Li Yan came to the door, opened it first, then picked up the skinny little calico cat and went inside.

Strangely, the calico cat stopped meowing once he caught it.

"Could it belong to someone else?"

Mei Mengqian was a little worried when she saw him take the cat directly into the house.

"Don't let anyone come looking for you."

She also remembered meeting a very cute kitten in junior high school that followed her several times.

So she took it home.

Later, the cat's owner came looking for them.

It turns out that the cat had just run away because it was hungry.

She gave me a lot of good food, so I followed her.

So embarrassing!

"It must be a stray cat, or kittens born to another cat that they couldn't keep and left at our door."

Li Yan looked at the little calico bird; he had discovered it with his divine sense that morning.

A cat that came down from the mountain was left on the road, and it climbed to Li Yan's doorstep on its own.

The little calico cat was quite beautiful, so he decided to keep it.

"You want to raise it?" Jiang Yingzhu saw through his thoughts. "I remember Aunt Fang has a little black dog."

“That’s my mom’s child, what does it have to do with me?”

Li Yan put the calico cat down, took out his phone and bought some cat food cans, goat milk powder, and cat supplies.

“That makes sense.” Jiang Yingzhu took a sip of porridge and looked at Xiao Sanhua.

Let's give it a name.

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up; she found it interesting and nodded, saying:
"Today is Minor Cold, and also Laba Festival, so we can call it Minor Eight."

"."

Jiang Yingzhu touched her chin, feeling that these were supposed to be her words.

"I don't think it's good, it's too casual. We found it while we were eating porridge, and it's Laba Festival, so it should be called 'Porridge Eight'."

"?" Li Yan was speechless. You better not mean anything by it.

Jiang Yingzhu turned to look at her.

"What do you think?"

“Now everyone is using reduplicated words, I think we can call it ‘88’,” Li Yan said.

Little Three Flowers: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Jiang Yingzhu fell into deep thought, "This one is pretty good too."

"Good for you, stop being so abstract." Li Yan was impressed.
