I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 217 What are your thoughts?

Chapter 217 What are your thoughts?
"No way, my hair is perfectly fine."

Jiang Yingzhu voiced her opposition.

Li Yan thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think you look better when you're shorter."

"Tch, who cares what you think?" Jiang Yingzhu snorted, arms crossed.

“Zhuzhu, it’s a tradition to get a haircut before the New Year.” Mei Mengqian pulled her along and said, “Besides, I’ve been cutting my own hair for years, so it’s definitely better than any hairdresser outside.”

What she didn't say was that she had pushed Li Yan too much earlier, and she didn't expect to be saved by her senior.

Although it ended up being an old-fashioned buzz cut, it still looked good.

Li Yan wanted to interject, "It's clearly because he has a good foundation."

".emmm."

Jiang Yingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay then, if I cut it, you have to cut it too."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Yingzhu felt relieved and sat down in the seat that Li Yan had previously occupied.

She had short hair, only reaching her neck, which made it easy to cut.

After it was finished, it looked a bit sharper than before, which better suited her temperament.

Next up is Mei Mengqian. Mei Mengqian has long hair, so we need to first straighten out the tangled strands at the ends.

Some barbers are like old-fashioned Western doctors, cutting out whatever is broken.

It will be cut off directly from the wrapped area.

While the senior was busy preparing, Li Yan had already arranged the offerings on the stove.

Besides candies and snacks, there was also a rooster that had been plucked, with only its tail feathers remaining, and offering steamed buns.

The kind with a small red dot at the top.

It looks delicious.

Li Yan always felt that these steamed buns were sweeter than the normal ones.

Then he brought the New Year's goods into the kitchen, along with a large amount of ingredients that Jiang Yingzhu had bought.

It seems she not only bought what she'd eat tonight, but also what she'd eat until after the Lunar New Year.

After finishing all that, the senior student also cut Mengmeng's hair.

"Let's put up the Spring Festival couplets!"

Jiang Yingzhu took out Spring Festival couplets from the truck bed. There were also paper-cut window decorations; their bright red color immediately brought a festive atmosphere.

Mei Mengqian took the curtains from her hands and thought for a moment.

There is no glue.

"I'll just make some rice milk," Hua Junshu said, already walking into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian went over to take a look, as she had never seen these things before.

I used to use glue when I was with my dad.

Li Yan's house has two doors that need to be covered with stickers, one of which is the main entrance, facing the street.

One is a side door that leads to the kitchen.

May your journey be smooth and prosperous every year, and may all your wishes come true and your career advance step by step.

Mei Mengqian read the couplet aloud, then looked at the characters. She said to Li Yan, who was pasting the couplets up:
"Your handwriting is better than this."

“Definitely, I’ll write it myself next year.” Li Yan clapped his hands. “Xiao Men, you can write it. Your handwriting isn’t as good as mine.”

Mei Mengqian gave a soft hum, a smile playing on her lips.

Hua Junshu leaned on a stool and looked at the top horizontal scroll.

By the time all the red talismans were pasted up, it was almost noon.

The four of them were exhausted after a morning and didn't want to move.

We unanimously decided to order takeout.

Let's order from that farmhouse restaurant across the street.

Lunch was simple, and Hua Junshu seemed to feel bad about it, so after lunch he started preparing ingredients for dinner.

They don't need anyone's help.

"Senior is so focused today."

Jiang Yingzhu said that Hua Junshu was also the one who put in the most effort in all kinds of tasks in the morning.

Mei Mengqian pursed her lips and whispered:
"I feel like my senior is celebrating the New Year today."

Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback, scratched her head, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Because after the Lunar New Year, she and Li Yan also had to go back to their hometown.

Jiang Yingzhu disliked Lao Deng, but she had deep feelings for her grandparents, and she also had to consider her maternal grandparents' side.

There are even more important things for her after the New Year.

If you calculate it this way, a few days is simply not enough.

Li Yan glanced at Mengmeng; his little deskmate was very perceptive.
“Then let’s spend the New Year with her today.” Jiang Yingzhu blinked, exchanged a glance with Mengmeng, and nodded.

That evening, Zhou Qinqin had no idea that before New Year's Eve was even over, she would already be living a life where she had to eat a big meal every few days.

She's been eating very simply lately.

I was invited to attend the students' dinner party again.

This time, Zhou Qinqin was smarter and took photos first.

After taking the photos, she realized that there were even more dishes on the table than last time, and they were much more abundant.

"Lamb hot pot, beef hot pot, lotus root hot pot. Three pots."

Zhou Qinqin looked at the three pots again: braised pork, pig's trotters, stir-fried shrimp, and braised pork with preserved vegetables.

She only found a plate of green vegetables.

It's as if I can already foresee every day that will follow the Spring Festival.

Zhou Qinqin put down the chopsticks she was about to lift.

"Li Yan, did you invite anyone else?"

"No, teacher, these were all made by Shushu." Li Yan said, picking up his chopsticks and taking the lead in eating.

Don't forget to compliment the senior student on how delicious the food is.

However, his praise was still far less than Jiang Yingzhu's endless compliments.

Seeing them enjoying their meal made Hua Junshu happy too.

She hadn't experienced the hustle and bustle of the year-end season in a long time.

"Come on, cheers!" Jiang Yingzhu raised her ginger cola.

Zhou Qinqin immediately raised her hand as well, and Li Yan and the others followed suit with smiles.

A sip of warm, spicy cola sent a soothing sensation through my stomach, spreading to every part of my body.

Hua Junshu narrowed his eyes and smiled as he touched the little Laba lying on his knee.

With heads bowed, we enjoy the simple pleasures of life; time always seems to stand still.

·····
The next day at noon, Mei Mengqian's mother, Ye Qian, visited Li Yan's building out of curiosity.

He greeted them one by one, treated them to a meal, and then left with Mei Mengqian.

In the car, with no one else around, Ye Qian finally couldn't help but ask:

"Mengmeng, what are you thinking? Living with Li Yan."

"Mom, what do you mean by living with Li Yan? And what about Zhu Zhu and Senior Sister?"

"Well, so you'll be living with Zhuzhu, along with your senior and Li Yan. What are your thoughts on that?"

Ye Qian always cares about her daughter, but her daughter has been raised to be independent and self-reliant by her father since she was a child, so she doesn't interfere much.

However, there are some things that you can't help but care about when you see them.

"I...I haven't thought about it much. I'm still young. I'll think about it when I go to university," Mei Mengqian said sullenly, her head down, a little ashamed to talk about this topic.

"Yes, it's good that you think that way." Ye Qian nodded, feeling gratified by her daughter's rationality.

Mengmeng is still young, and she's always worried that she'll be taken advantage of if they start dating now.

Meanwhile, Li Yan helped his senior look up some information and played some games along the way.

Jiang Yingzhu continued playing games with Qin Bao as always.

Mei Mengqian has left, but she's not gone forever.

The sadness only lasted for a short while.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Yingzhu wouldn't care at all.

The leftovers from yesterday were used for dinner. The senior student originally wanted to make something new, but Jiang Yingzhu stopped her, saying that the leftovers tasted better.

Li Yan believed this to be true.

The next morning, Li Yan woke up after Jiang Yingzhu secretly pulled him away.

"No, what are you doing? It's not even dawn yet."

Li Yan reached out and touched her forehead.

"Have a fever?"

"You're the one with a fever!"

Jiang Yingzhu slapped his hand away, knowing that this person was subtly implying something about her.

"Let's leave early so that our senior won't feel bad if she sees us like this."

Li Yan felt that she always lost her sense of propriety in intimate relationships.

"Leaving without saying goodbye will only make your senior feel worse."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback. "It seems so. Okay then, I'll go back to sleep."

"Silly!"
