I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 202 A Misplaced Trust
After Chen Xiyuan's leg hair incident, the topic in the class group chat shifted back to how to spend the winter break, and it became quite lively.

Li Yan was too lazy to think about the topic and didn't participate. He took a few seeds and some pots from the storeroom, added some soil, and went to the backyard to plant flowers.

He had already decorated the front yard. The back yard wasn't big, only about the width of a one-way street, hardly even a yard. At the end was the back wall of a house on another street.
Strictly speaking, it's not suitable for planting flowers, but Li Yan's main purpose is to set up an array.

He intends to refine these potted flowers into a spirit-gathering artifact, which will serve as the core of the spirit-gathering array.

In the past, he used the finest jade for the array's core, but the effect was not strong.

This time he plans to make some major modifications and see how it goes.

After planting the seed, Li Yan used his spiritual power to create a constant-temperature magic array and then left.

Before they even left the alley, Jiang Yingzhu's loud shouts came from the front yard.

"Li Yan, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Walking to the front yard, Li Yan placed the remaining items in the corner under the eaves and looked at Zhu Zhu, who was speaking.

He knew that if Zhu Zhu asked this question, it meant she wanted something to eat, so he decided to tease her a little.

"Eat whatever you want."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't want to be casual, and said with a serious expression:
"Experts say that dinner is very important; most people who die young do so because they don't eat dinner."

"so?"

"Therefore, we cannot be careless; we must take it seriously!" the expert surnamed Jiang added, emphasizing:
"Especially today, the start of winter vacation, it's an important day, so we should eat well."

Mei Mengqian nodded in agreement, maintaining her stance with Jiang Yingzhu; she also wanted to eat well.

Li Yan clapped his hands, as if he had been convinced by her profound reasoning.

"That makes sense. So tell me, what should we eat?"

"Hey, I saw a place on Meituan that sells donkey meat sandwiches and Xinjiang-style roasted naan. I've never tried it before. Let's go there! I saw that the reviews say it's delicious."

Li Yan glanced at her, then suddenly revealed a strange expression.

Have you heard of the human flesh search in that city?

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

Jiang Yingzhu's expression changed, while Mei Mengqian remained relatively calm and expressionless. She had never seen Huang Cheng's program.

The donkey meat sandwich restaurant wasn't far from here, and the three of them rode their bikes there.

There weren't too many people, since students were on holiday, but working people couldn't take time off.

The shop's decor was very ordinary. Li Yan scanned the kitchen with his divine sense to confirm that it was clean and that the meat was genuine donkey meat before going in.

After finding an empty table and sitting down, Jiang Yingzhu first ordered three servings of donkey meat sandwiches, and then looked at the others.

"This place also has donkey meat fried rice, let's have one too. And three naan breads, please."

Li Yan didn't stop her; if she couldn't finish her food, she would pack it up and give it to Teacher Zhou next door as a late-night snack.

He wondered if it was because the Chinese New Year was approaching, but he saw Qin Bao staying up late every day to write.

It's probably for the Chinese New Year holiday.

Qinbao is really hardworking; even the real Lao Deng takes leave during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Yingzhu's baked flatbread arrived quickly, and it looked much like some sesame seed cakes or roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

It does smell good.

But freshly baked roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is also very fragrant.

Li Yan took a bite.

I didn't get to eat any meat.

However, meat could be seen where he had bitten.

"Uh-huh~"

Jiang Yingzhu snorted, her little face scrunched up.

It's not exactly bad, but it's not exactly delicious either.

The taste of the donkey meat sandwich was probably quite different from the deliciousness she had imagined.

The sudden change in taste made her immediately conclude that the food in her mouth was unpalatable.

Beside her, Mei Mengqian was in a similar situation.

"Do you still want the fried rice and naan? It's not too late to cancel them now," Li Yan said.

"No, if it's not good, I won't come again."

"I haven't seen you go to any of the good restaurants much."

"What can I do? They are all my favorites, but I only have one."

Jiang Yingzhu uttered some shockingly vulgar and offensive language.

Soon after, the rest of the food was served, and Li Yan thought the fried rice tasted pretty good.

The two women were in the same boat, and the three of them eventually concluded that the shop actually started out selling fried rice.

I only ate one of the other naan breads.

Li Yan packed up the remaining two. As they left the shop, Jiang Yingzhu left a review on Dianping (a Chinese review platform).

"The taste is great, authentic, and the portion is generous; one person simply can't finish it!"

"Let's go, let's go. By the way, you just said that senior sister is moving in tomorrow, is that true?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

"real."

"That's good, it's just that we can't celebrate the New Year."

Li Yan looked at her. The little green plum was still kind-hearted. She knew about her senior's family situation and pitied her for facing the festival alone.

"There is Laba Festival."

"Laba isn't a person, so why don't we bring our senior to our hometown to celebrate the New Year together? I'll show her how to fry cow dung; she's definitely never done that before."

Li Yan glanced at her sideways.

"You're the one who wants to play, aren't you?"

“I haven’t played it yet,” Mei Mengqian said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu smiled and pulled her along, "Then you'll come home with me for the New Year?"

"No, that won't do!" Mei Mengqian's face immediately turned red.

Jiang Yingzhu was laughing loudly there.

The next morning, when Li Yan woke up, he saw a small thing lying on his chest.

It made a purring sound, and its round eyes looked at him.

"Good morning, little loudspeaker."

"Meow!"

Li Yan got up and casually used a dust removal spell to clean the cat hair off his body and the bed.

I glanced at the time; it was eight o'clock.

He figured his senior was already up, so instead of calling to confirm, he went to have breakfast first.

Although he could do it himself, he's rather lazy.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Qinqin walked by carrying a large bag of steamed buns.

"Good morning, Teacher Zhou."

"morning."

Zhou Qinqin looked over, nodded, and still had dark circles under her eyes.

I wonder if they stayed up all night.

"Would you like some breakfast? The teacher bought some steamed buns, do you want some?"

"sure."

Li Yan walked over, picked up two at random, and then glanced at the remaining dozen or so.

"Teacher Zhou, have your family members returned yet? Why did you buy so much?"

"Not many, sixteen. You take two, and there are fourteen left. Dou Dou and I will split them in half. We can finish them in a day."

Zhou Qinqin yawned and said expressionlessly, as if she were very familiar with the question, clearly not the first time she had been asked it.

"Teacher, do you only eat steamed buns all day?"

Li Yan knew that Dou Dou was her Pekingese. How strange, why are all Pekingese called Dou Dou?

"Too lazy to go out, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm so sleepy."

Zhou Qinqin continued walking back, carrying the bag.

Li Yan had finally seen a very different side of this teacher.

He rode his bike to school, but the gate was closed, and only a few scattered sounds of reading could be heard from the deserted school building.

They're the senior students from the old Deng!
A security guard recognized him and opened the door.

"Xiao Li, did you leave something in the classroom?"

Li Yan didn't go in; he just stood at the security booth.

"hey-hey."

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go inside, or I'll be discovered soon."

"No need, she came out on her own."

"Something can come out on its own."

The security guard was puzzled. He turned around and saw a girl pulling a suitcase walking towards him from the other side of the gate, towards the direction of Teaching Building No. 2.

The security guard felt a mix of emotions.

I've wasted my time!
