I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 273 Gift
On Saturday, Ye Qian came to pick up the cherry blossoms.

Because Li Yan specifically requested that she come to collect it.

He didn't expect that Ye Qian had brought him something.

"Auntie, what's this?"

Li Yan looked at the two boxes Ye Qian took out of the car and was somewhat puzzled.

"Haha, this is a gift that Auntie bought for you, and also for Zhuzhu and another little girl."

Ye Qian smiled. "It's mainly to thank you. You've been a huge help to me. I've been promoted now."

"Oh, congratulations, Auntie."

Li Yan nodded, understanding the reason, and then listened to Ye Qian begin to introduce the gifts.

"This is for you, a telescope and books on astronomy, the universe, philosophy, and religion."

Ye Qian pointed to the largest box and the smaller boxes on top of it.

"Mengmeng said you like reading, especially books on astronomy, cosmology, philosophy, and religion."

At this point, out of respect for a close elder, she asked another question.

"Do you intend to conduct research in this area in the future?"

"Probably, let's find out first."

Li Yan nodded, recalling his special 'dream' experience during his last breakthrough.

He began to doubt the system's purpose.

He was very likely teleported to some Tianxuan Continent at that time, but if that's the case, there are many doubts.

In any case, the system doesn't seem like the kind of junk that's traveled to the wrong dimension.

It seems more like it was done on purpose.

So Li Yan started paying more attention to books on the universe and philosophy.

However, he felt it was unnecessary to actually apply for this major.

Current research in Earth's astronomy has not yet expanded to that level.

Although there are hypotheses such as parallel universes, they are just hypotheses.

Anything that cannot be verified cannot be called a scientific theory.

"That's very good."

Ye Qian nodded without saying much. Given the child's grades, if he were truly interested...

He can go to any of the more prominent astronomy schools in China.

"This box contains things for Mengmeng and her friends." She then pointed to a medium-sized box next to her.

"it is good."

So Li Yan started sorting through the gifts, and while he was at it, he woke up the two girls who were still sleeping in.

Hua Junshu went to school early in the morning; they had a monthly exam.

Choosing Saturday for the exam—that's typical of the school.

Ye Qian seemed very busy; she only had time to chat with Mengmeng while she ate breakfast before leaving.

Jiang Yingzhu looked at the pair of sneakers, a pair of dumbbells, and a set of sportswear in the box.

Her name was written on it.

She looked at Mengmeng.

"What did you say to Auntie? Why did she buy me all this?!"

Mei Mengqian blinked. "Mom asked me what you like, and I said you like sports."

She paused, then added, "What can I do? Of course I have to say yes. I can't just say you like to tease people, play games, or fight, can I?"

“Hmm.” Jiang Yingzhu stroked her chin. “That makes sense, but what’s with the dumbbells? Does Auntie expect me to protect you?”

She quickly forgot about that and enthusiastically went over to Li Yan to watch him assemble the astronomical telescope.

"It's so big, are you going to put it on the roof?"

"Of course, I had someone renovate the rooftop into an open-air garden."

"Ok, Ok."

In the afternoon, Hua Junshu returned from his exam and then saw the gift given to him by Mei Mengqian's mother.

"painting?!"

Upon opening the box, Hua Junshu saw a painting: a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, with the sound of pine trees rustling in the wind, vividly depicted on the paper!
It's incredibly lifelike; you can almost smell the freshness of nature.

Mei Mengqian thought for a moment and said, "I told my mom that my senior likes to share knowledge. My mom said that my senior's name is another name for a pine tree, so that's how this came about."

"She probably felt that it would be better if the senior student gave a video presentation with a background." Hua Junshu nodded and sincerely thanked her.

"Actually, my senior doesn't need to. My mom isn't good at giving gifts."

Mei Mengqian pointed to Jiang Yingzhu's dumbbells, as well as her own retro record player and some album records.

However, she doesn't really need this when listening to music.

She has a living record player.

Hua Junshu shook his head. "No, I like it very much."

She felt a little strange; this was the second time someone had revealed the origin of her name without her having explained it.

Jiang Yingzhu was also thinking about this and asked, "Is Junshu another name for pine?"

“No.” Hua Junshu shook his head. “The ancients praised the pine as the tree of a gentleman.”

"Oh~" Jiang Yingzhu nodded, looking very cultured. "It suits you so well, senior."

She sincerely said that although the name sounded a bit boyish, it also had a cool and aloof connotation, which matched her senior's temperament very well.

"Your name is also very nice."

"Hehe, that's right! My mom named it."

The three chatted about their names and then discovered that Mei Mengqian's name was the most straightforward, as it was her father's way of expressing his love for her mother.

Then they started talking about Li Yan.

"Li Yan, how did you get your name?"

"I don't know." Li Yan shook his head expressionlessly, only to be exposed by Jiang Yingzhu.

"Hehe, he was an accident! I heard Aunt Fang say that they originally wanted a daughter, but ended up with a son, so he was an accident."

Li Yan rolled his eyes and looked at Hua Junshu.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"No."

"We don't have any either, let's go out to eat."

"it is good."

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and the spring outing began.

The first-year high school students from all grades gathered in the small square.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The head of the grade walked around with a megaphone, shouting loudly, "Don't make noise until the second-year students start class! I'll see which class is the noisiest, and that class will be the last to leave!"

Upon hearing this, some classes quieted down.

Ye Daijia, who was standing in the back of the front row of Class 1, kept talking.

"Hey! He's the loudest one, why isn't he leaving yet!"

Chen Xiyuan glanced at him and said, "Don't talk. We'll be leaving soon. It's all because of you talking."

"You talk too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiyuan's face revealed an arrogant expression, and he straightened his back.

"Actually, I don't think spring outings are very fun. It's better to study in the classroom. I feel uncomfortable if I don't study for a day. I wish spring outings were canceled."

"Damn it, you idiot. Damn him!"

Xiao Shuai, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He could usually tolerate Xiao Shuai's pretentious act.

Pretending to love studying at a time like this? Forget it!

In an instant, several people carried Chen Xiyuan and rushed towards the tree on the flower bed next to them.

"Aruba! Aruba!"

"No spring outing, no spring outing, no Aruba!!"

A group of boys from Class 1 rushed toward the flower bed, yelling excitedly.

The grade head, who had initially intended to intervene, paused upon hearing this. He coughed, pretended not to have seen anything, and continued patrolling other classes.

"Each class should take attendance. I want to reiterate the safety precautions: do not wander off, and follow instructions."

Jiang Yingzhu watched as the grade headmaster spoke, saying that a group of people were crashing into trees in the flower bed behind them, screaming in pain. She found it a bit strange and funny.

Unable to hold back, the goose burst into laughter.

Seeing the people around her looking at her, Jiang Yingzhu put on a stern face and said, "What are you looking at!"

The head of the grade looked away, realizing he couldn't afford to offend this person, and waved for them to prepare to leave.
