I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 297 This Bad Guy
Jiang Yingzhu swallowed the treasure in her palm and then took a few more strings of duck intestines.

Seeing this, Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian also took some fried skewers.

Suddenly, Hua Junshu noticed a label at the bottom of the fried skewers bucket. He glanced at the table, chuckled softly, and continued to enjoy his food.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were drawn to her sudden laugh, as their senior didn't laugh often.

Therefore, they were all very curious.

"Senior, what are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Hua Junshu didn't say anything, but Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu exchanged a glance and began to recall.

Mei Mengqian sat opposite Hua Junshu. She had just seen her senior glance at the fried skewers bucket and then laughed out loud.

Is there some lame joke on the bucket?

She knew her senior couldn't stand a dry joke.

Mei Mengqian then examined the bucket.

After a few breaths, she didn't see anything.

Jiang Yingzhu, who was watching her gaze, was also examining the bucket. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she gripped the bamboo skewer in her hand tightly.

"That rascal! No wonder he only ate a little bit, turns out he was already full!"

On the lower left side of the bucket, there was a sign for a large set meal of 75 skewers.

"I was wondering why such a big bucket could hold so little stuff, but now the case is solved!"

Mei Mengqian turned the bucket around and nodded.

They were initially puzzled by the situation, but didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just unusual packaging.

After all, it seems to be quite popular to pair large plates with small portions these days.

It seems not now.

"So that's what the senior was laughing about."

Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu were both annoyed and amused, speechless at the person who went back to their room.

Based on their understanding, they were even certain that the guy was deliberately keeping quiet when he could have.

I guess they were just waiting for them to find out.

If they don't notice, Li Yan might bring it up after the meal and see their reactions.

Or remind me in another way.

This person is sometimes too boring and always likes to play pranks on people.

"I'm not going upstairs. I won't give him a chance to be smug."

Jiang Yingzhu's suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by her senior and Mengmeng.

······
The fourth day of the fifth lunar month, a Thursday, marks the official end of the short holiday.

As soon as Li Yan entered the classroom with Zhu Zhu and Meng Meng, he heard some unfortunate news.

What?! No holidays on Saturdays and Sundays?!

Ma Liang's voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of those around him.

Yu Bing, who was behind Li Yan and the other two, turned around and asked the question that had been on the minds of everyone who had seen Ali.

"Really not going to release them? Who said that?"

After all, it's Thursday. If it's a normal holiday, it means we'll have to go to school for another day tomorrow and then have a short break.

Just thinking about it is wonderful, and I even feel guilty that I should study harder these next two days!

That's why most people in the class had an exceptionally smooth start to the morning.

Oh, after two days of the grueling school life, another wonderful holiday is here!

And what about the game/novel I read last night?! Where did I end up in?!

"That's what Zhang Wei said."

Ma Liang pointed at Zhang Wei.

"Brothers, it seems Zhang Wei wants Aruba!" Ye Daijia stood up from his seat.

"Brother Ye is right, Zhang Wei's mouth is no good."

Zhang Wei's face turned pale. "Stop!"

"I heard it from the second-year high school students; they were like that last year when they were first-year students! It has nothing to do with me!!"

"I am innocent!"

He just couldn't help but want to share his sadness with his classmates. How could that be such a heinous crime, wanting to try ice cream cones so early in the morning?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian exchanged a glance.

Why didn't the senior say that?

"real or fake?"

Li Yan also recalled that such a thing had happened, so he personally shattered their illusions. "Really, my senior probably didn't care about this, so she didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, the two felt that it actually matched their senior's personality quite well, and while nodding, they both put on masks of pain.

Whether they get a holiday or not is secondary; the important thing is that, excluding today, they still have eight days before they can enjoy a holiday again.

The thought of this seemed to cast a shadow over the entire class.

"If you calculate it that way, then the May Day holiday was only three days long!" Jiang Yingzhu said indignantly. "How outrageous!"

Zhu Gelin, who had just finished five days of temporary work and was preparing to cram for his homework, gave a disdainful smile.

"So what if we have to attend classes for nine consecutive days? You'll behave yourselves once you start working. Forget nine days, ha~"

A row of Ling Ningshan nodded in agreement, but not entirely.

"You get paid for working nine days a year, but what's the point of studying nine days a year?"

"Knowledge." Chen Xiyuan, who was sitting next to the podium, pushed up his glasses.

"There are golden houses in books, but ordinary people just can't find them."

"Can you find out?"

"I can't, I'm part of a group."

Ling Ningshan turned around and continued eating her breakfast. What a boring person.

She turned her head and glanced at Wu Wuwu, who was reciting her lessons beside her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Wu Wuwu, aren't you going to eat?"

"Ate."

"You have nine days of classes ahead of you, how can you still concentrate on your studies?"

A glint of wisdom flashed in Wu Wuwu's eyes. "Because this is an opportunity. I'm learning when everyone else doesn't want to, so I'm making double the progress."

Ling Ningshan paused for a moment and glanced at what she was carrying.

After thinking about it, I realized that I had memorized it a week ago, so I patted her on the shoulder.

"But what if someone does the work of nine days in one?"

"So what? 003, I stopped comparing myself to others a long time ago. I only compare myself to myself. If I were to compare myself to others, who could beat Li Yan?" Wu Wuwu was very clear-headed.

Some people were not so clear-headed. When Zhu Gelin discovered that he was the only one who hadn't done any homework, he immediately fell into deep doubt.

"No, didn't you say in the class group that we wouldn't do it and everyone would make it up together?!"

He looked at some of the boys he had just met.

"Yes, I haven't done my English practice yet, so I'm catching up on it, right?"

"Yeah, I didn't write my Chinese essay either. I copied three essays from the internet. Isn't that awesome!"

"password!"

Zhu Gelin sat down, grumbling, and began copying homework.

His deskmate, Yang Xiong, glanced at him and shook his head.

Silly child, you'll understand after you've been fooled a few more times.

How stupid I was.

Of course, there are also those who are physically unaware. When Jiang Yingzhu learned that there would be no holiday in two days, she had already entered hibernation mode and had no energy to study in the morning.

She hadn't slept much last night anyway.

But Li Yan was talking to the people in the back row about their holiday trip, which made her want to listen.

"Why did you guys go to Happy Valley? The zoo is nice too. I went to the zoo during my vacation."

Yu Bing paused, then emphasized, "No accidents happened! There were tigers inside, and they looked quite fierce."

Jiang Yingzhu became interested and, after thinking for a moment, decided to tease the elementary school student.

"What's so fierce about tigers? It's gorillas that are fierce. When I was a kid, I saw a gorilla punch a tiger with one punch. Even the tiger king was sent flying."

"Really? What kind of gorilla? That's amazing!"

The elementary school students' eyes lit up; Yu Qingya and others in the same row, as well as Zhang Wei and Ma Liang in the back row, were all attracted.

"Yeah, tell me quickly, there's even a gorilla stronger than a tiger, that's awesome!"

"Oh, his name is Wild Gorilla."

"Wild Gorilla? That sounds pretty impressive. Where can I watch it?"

Yu Bing asked, and at the same time felt that the name sounded familiar, and the more she thought about it, the more familiar it became.

Add to that Jiang Yingzhu's giggling as she lay on the seat.

She felt increasingly uneasy.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei's voice came from the back row.

"Damn! That's not from Lolo's Adventures. Who has a gorilla made of steel?"
