I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 208 Huh?
Li Yan got up early the next day to prepare for his departure, and perhaps because he was leaving that day, he ate an exceptionally lavish breakfast.

Beef soup, braised pork belly, lotus root and pork rib stew, Kung Pao chicken, and cola chicken wings.

It's all meat; no one would believe it's breakfast.

Li Yan also saw packaged braised beef and braised pig's trotters on the stove.

“Grandma gets up early and made a little extra when she had time, so please eat more,” Zhang Cuiying said, as if she was worried about what he might say.

Indeed, if it were Li Yan's parents' generation, they might say:

'Why make so much? We can't finish it all. We're not not coming back for Chinese New Year. We can't eat that much in the morning.'

Li Yan wouldn't be so disappointed; he just felt that the old man was going through a bit of a hardship.

But saying thank you would be too sentimental and create distance.

Then sit down and eat, eat more, and give them a compliment.

In fact, Li Yan knew that the old man was just trying to get some psychological satisfaction.

"Okay, Grandma, have you eaten yet?"

Li Yan sat down at the square table.

"You've eaten, your grandpa has eaten too, and he's gone out for a stroll."

Upon hearing this, he nodded and began to devour the food.

Half an hour later, Li Yan had almost finished half of the food.

"It's delicious, I'm full."

As expected, Zhang Cuiying brought over the packaged braised beef and braised pig's trotters from the kitchen.

"Take it with you and eat it when you get hungry on the road."

"okay."

Li Yan carried his things out the door and headed towards the county road.

It was only a little past seven o'clock, and there was a thin mist in the town in the early morning, especially along the roadside in some places where there were no houses and only empty fields.

The shadowy graves, seemingly belonging to someone, loomed at the edge of the roadside fields, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling.

He remembers that when he was seven or eight years old, he had not yet gone to Huangcheng to study.

He Jiang Yingzhu is a left-behind child in a rural town.

Because Li Yan was playful, he would come home very late every time after school.

The route he took was similar, but the shortcut he took was much more desolate, basically like a narrow path through fields, with many more graves visible.

So every time, I have this feeling that something is following me!
Li Yan no longer feels that way. When he was a child, he could cut down all the grass and trees along the way with just a tree branch without any fear.

Needless to say, it's even more so now.

"Beep--"

A car was approaching from the front. Li Yan made way, but the car stopped next to him.

The black glass slid down, revealing Fang Yuan's face.

"Yanzi, get in the car. I'm going back anyway, so it's on my way."

Li Yan blinked, smiled, and nodded, "Thanks, cousin."

He didn't stand on ceremony with Fang Yuan and got into the passenger seat.

"Not bad, buddy, you're driving an Audi now."

"Isn't it all thanks to you?" Fang Yuan wasn't being modest; he was just looking for a place to think about his future after graduation.

Anyway, it doesn't matter where you do accounting; accounting is a broad field with a wide range of job opportunities.

Who knew my cousin's company was so amazing, it's gone straight to the sky.

Fang Yuan also became the finance director, and he expects to be able to buy a house in Jiangcheng in the future.

“Although the company is mine, you wouldn’t be in this situation if you weren’t capable, cousin.”

To be honest, Li Yan had hardly ever managed the company, but he knew Hua Ningxia's personality well.

Even if Li Yan hadn't made any statement, she wouldn't give any special treatment to the so-called company veterans, who were just a couple of Li Yan's relatives.

At most, we'll leave their original positions.

Fang Yuan was originally an accountant who helped Li Yan handle financial matters such as the copyrights of his novels and music; his salary was average.

Even if Qiqi Company develops, it will still be impossible for them to afford a car.

The fact that he bought it now only means his income has increased and he's been promoted. Li Yan didn't talk much with Fang Yuan, as Fang Yuan wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

Listening to the car music, I unknowingly entered Huangcheng.

Li Yan directed him to stop at Zhongyaowan Road, then got out of the car and left.

His divine sense naturally expanded, covering the entire urban area, and he observed that the 77 Research Institute and the processing plant in the distance were operating well.

At the foot of Feiyun Mountain, Hua Junshu had already woken up and eaten breakfast.

The other two were still asleep.

Right now, the senior student is playing with Laba using a cat toy.

Laba seemed unimpressed by the cat toy, giving it a perfunctory paw lift.

Li Yan walked slowly towards home. As he passed the steamed bun shop, he suddenly saw Cheng Yuan, dressed as a shop assistant, come out to take out the trash.

The two locked eyes, and Li Yan was taken aback.

Cheng Yuan nodded nonchalantly, "Good morning."

"work to earn a living?"

"Ah."

Li Yan nodded, said nothing more, and left directly.

Behind him, Cheng Yuan also turned around and went back into the store.

The store is a chain, and besides him, there is another long-time employee, a woman who is close to thirty.

"After you take out the trash, tidy up the counter and remember to greet the customers."

The woman wearing the hat gave the order.

"Remember not to take the wrong bun, or you'll be fined. The security cameras can see it."

Cheng Yuan nodded silently and went to tidy up the desk.

The woman was playing on her phone; there weren't many people around at this hour.

There are fewer customers buying things; usually at this time, she'll be doing housework in the store.

However, the new winter break worker who came yesterday was pretty good, so we gave him all the jobs.

Women love winter break jobs, especially those that look like they're from students. They think they're easy to bully, and the women will ask them to do whatever they want, under the guise of giving them pointers.

Anyway, if they didn't do a good job, it's their own problem, and she can't be blamed.

On the other hand, Cheng Yuan's eyes were cold; he was not someone to be trifled with.

But he didn't intend to turn against them now; he wanted to wait until after the probation period.

When Li Yan returned home, under the eaves, his senior sister had gathered some dry firewood from somewhere and made a brazier, which she was lighting.

Her technique was skillful yet clumsy, suggesting she hadn't done this kind of thing in a long time.

Because she was too focused, the senior student did not notice Li Yan who had come up behind her.

"Clap!"

The flame from the lighter ignited the dry leaves, pine needles, and other flammable materials underneath the firewood, and flames roared up.

When the leaping flames ignite the dry firewood, the igniter is also burned away, and the flames shrink from large to small.

The high temperature caused the hair on Hua Junshu's forehead to sway slightly in the wind.

"Where did this come from?" Li Yan asked as he saw the brazier being lit.

Hua Junshu had just straightened up when he was startled by the sudden voice. He turned around and saw it was him. His usually expressionless face showed a slight upturn of his eyebrows and a faint smile. His eyes lit up with surprise as he said:
"you are back!"

The red light emanating from the brazier beside her shone on her face, greatly softening the coldness in her demeanor.

Hua Junshu, who was working just now, was still wearing an apron and sleeves, with the fire tongs beside him at an angle.

And then there's her vividly brought face to life.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the senior who said those words was like a wife who stayed at home and saw her husband return from the battlefield.

Hua Junshu noticed that he was staring at her without saying a word, which puzzled her.

"Ok?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm back."
