I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 314 Give me a stir-fry

Since they arrived relatively early, the restaurant served their food quickly.

In the blink of an eye, they were on the third track. Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan and said, "Senior, haven't you finished class yet? Should I ask them to slow down?"

Li Yan took out his phone and glanced at it. "Here it is. Should I ask you if you want a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu nodded.

"Give me a bottle of coconut milk, what would you like to drink?"

She had previously seen the drinks served in the restaurant; they were all baijiu (Chinese liquor) and beer, with only mineral water as beverage.

"It's all right."

"Then let's have some Coke, Sprite, orange juice, and green tea."

Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan and asked, "By the way, senior, can you carry this?"

"Why can't you lift it? Should I go help you?"

"That's not necessary."

Jiang Yingzhu asked the question casually, and she already knew the answer after asking.

Not long after, Hua Junshu arrived, carrying a large bag of canned drinks.

After sitting down in the only empty seat, Hua Junshu shook her head at Jiang Yingzhu, who was thanking her, and placed the things on the rotating table.

"Please help yourselves to whatever you'd like to drink."

Jiang Yingzhu took out her coconut milk and gave Li Yan a bottle.

Mei Mengqian was somewhat surprised to find the orange juice she liked to drink.

"Fresh orange juice comes in cans?"

"I've had it."

Yu Qingya said from the side, while taking out a can of green tea from her bag.

I've never seen canned green tea before.

While the group was sharing drinks, the remaining dishes were served.

Li Yan raised the coconut milk in his hand, "Come on, let's all wish Jiang Yingzhu a happy 16th birthday!"

"Happy birthday!"

The colorful jars clattered together, and the girls' cheerful voices rang out simultaneously, drawing some attention in the restaurant.

Some of the people who came to eat glanced at it, then smiled and turned away, and there was no disturbance.

Since everyone was a student, the conversation revolved around the holidays.

Yu Qingya felt a little envious when she learned that they were going on a trip.

“Hey, my mom said she’s going to sign me up for some extracurricular classes during summer vacation, saying I can’t lose at the starting line. I’ve been running for thirteen years, and she’s still at the starting line.”

"What kind of extracurricular classes?"

"draw."

Yu Qingya scratched her head, "They said that if your score is low, you can apply for special art admissions in the future."

After a few words of encouragement, everyone went on to share their own plans.

However, none of them knew, and suddenly, the conversation took a turn.

"Zhuzhu, what's your shipping address? I want to buy you a gift."

Jiang Yingzhu blinked and shook her head.

"No, you can buy it for me next year."

Seeing this, Yu Qingya and the others did not insist and nodded in agreement.

Li Yan blinked, "Then can I have mine next year too?"

"?" Jiang Yingzhu looked at him and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"If you dare to stay until tomorrow, you're dead!"

Everyone chuckled, saying that the class monitor just loved to act like a jerk, and then got threatened by Zhu Zhu.

The meal lasted about an hour. After leaving the restaurant, Yu Qingya and the others offered to treat everyone to karaoke.

Jiang Yingzhu hesitated for a moment, partly because she wanted to go back and see the gift Li Yan had given her.

On the other hand, I also feel that it has been a long time since I went to karaoke.

"Let's go then, it'll be good to digest after the meal."

The group each bought a bicycle along the way and rode to the city center, where Yu Qingya had booked a karaoke bar online.

Upon entering the private room, Lin Yufan started by suggesting that everyone sing a song.

"Okay!"

Jiang Yingzhu got up with great interest to request a song.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian, who was originally sitting next to her, moved to sit next to Li Yan.

"Li Yan, what song are you singing?"

Her eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice.

"Are you going to sing another song for Zhuzhu? Or you can just sing it here."

"No, my gift isn't a new song."

Li Yan's answer surprised Mei Mengqian, but she quickly accepted it.

After all, Zhu Zhu's personality means she doesn't like things that are unchanging.

The act of sending a song as a gift had already been done last year.

"Okay, I'll go pick a song. What do you want to sing? Where's the senior?"

She looked at Hua Junshu, who was sitting on the other side of Li Yan.

"Why not sing one?" She glanced at Li Yan. "I don't listen to music often, and I don't know many of them."

“No problem.” Mei Mengqian nodded, her gaze falling on Li Yan again.

"I don't care."

"Oh, okay." Mei Mengqian's eyes flickered, and she immediately ran to select a song.

Jiang Yingzhu had finished and was now singing into the microphone.

Listening to Zhu Zhu sing "Moonlight," her voice as swift and winding as a chicken being slaughtered, Mei Mengqian pursed her lips tightly.

I chose two songs, then left to let the others choose.

Jiang Yingzhu, who was singing Moonlight, saw Mengmeng sitting next to Li Yan, pouted, and then couldn't keep up with the melody.

Even if the young singer himself were present, he might not be able to replicate that winding, mountain-road-like singing style.

Not to mention her.

Jiang Yingzhu quickly gave up, and after the song ended, she walked over to Mei Mengqian's side.

"Mengmeng, the next song is yours, right? Here, take the microphone."

"Mmm!" Mei Mengqian nodded and nudged Li Yan.

"Li Yan, let's go upstairs, this is a chorus."

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes widened. "Why did you order a duet? Isn't it supposed to be one song per person?"

“Yes, Li Yan said anything is fine.” Mei Mengqian nodded. “I just chose two songs I wanted to sing, ‘Guest, You Can’t.’”

"This song is perfect for a duet."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu was speechless.

She thought about it and figured that since there was a chorus, it didn't really matter.

"Then I'll sing the next chorus."

Li Yan nodded and went on stage with Mengmeng.

He had heard the song "Guest, You Can't" before. It's just that he stopped listening to it after he got over his teenage years.

After a brief moment of recall, Li Yan memorized the male part of the lyrics.

With a lively intro, a female voice begins: "Sir, you can't get any closer."

Where are you looking while you pretend to be so calm?
Dear customer, you can't blame it all on my beautiful appearance.
"Be careful, you're so charming and passionate, I might really get angry."

Mei Mengqian's gentle voice is quite different from the original singer's playful tone.

Jiang Yingzhu sat below and asked her senior what song she was singing. She noticed that Mengmeng sang with a blank expression, as if Li Yan owed her money, but her voice was very gentle, creating a stark contrast.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Mengmeng, you're too reserved."

Yu Qingya chimed in, "There's no flirting or teasing feeling; it's more like whispering sweet nothings."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian, who was still singing, blushed slightly.

What does it mean to say sweet nothings? Just sing properly, why do you keep saying such strange things?

And this song, it felt pretty good when I listened to it.

Why do I feel so ashamed when I sing this?

Especially Li Yan.

She was just singing the lyrics, and he actually looked at them randomly.

Soon, Mei Mengqian was no longer shy because Li Yan started singing.

"Waiter, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

It seems I didn't order this pot.

Short, fat, and unable to find her waist

Although it has a cute vibe

Mei Mengqian was speechless. What kind of lyrics were these? It sounded like he was cursing someone.

"Pfft! This song is actually pretty funny." Jiang Yingzhu looked at the lyrics on the screen and couldn't help but laugh, her expression full of disdain.

"Zhuzhu, Li Yan will sing this to you later too," Hua Junshu said quietly from the side.

Jiang Yingzhu's face stiffened; she didn't want to be told she was short and fat.

"You're more suitable for the ice rink, Bingbing."

"I'm not suitable!" Yu Bing stood up, hands on her hips, and didn't even bother with the fruit platter.

"I have a waist."

The two argued about the waist, and the song ended quickly, but Jiang Yingzhu still couldn't convince the elementary school student.

However, she came up with a new alternative.

Holding the microphone, she went up to Li Yan and said, "You sing the female voice, and I'll sing the male voice."

"Okay."

So Li Yan started, and Jiang Yingzhu felt great.

She herself is a female knight-errant who flirts with handsome men.

But during the second chorus, Li Yan watched her sing.

Where are you now? I think about you every day.

I miss the air around you, I miss your mischievous eyes.
I think of you every day, wondering where you are now.
Memories of funny encounters, memories of sad endings.

Jiang Yingzhu immediately stopped looking in that direction, turned her head away with her eyes darting around, and mumbled along with the accompaniment, completely forgetting the lyrics.

What song is this?

The composer is really something, so blatant.

Down in the audience, Mei Mengqian pouted, wondering why she hadn't thought of that.

Li Yan is quite good at saying sweet nothings.

After the song ended, Jiang Yingzhu finally regained her composure.

Fortunately, the interior is dimly lit with colorful lights, so it's not very noticeable.

Li Yan sat down next to Hua Junshu and handed her the microphone.

"Senior, it's your turn."

However, Hua Junshu took the microphone from Jiang Yingzhu.

Li Yan was taken aback, and then she said, "I can't sing, why don't you go up and teach me?"

This time, it was Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian who were taken aback.

It can still be like this.

"Senior, you really can't sing?" Li Yan asked.

"Ah."

Seeing her nod, Li Yan recalled that he had indeed never seen Hua Junshu listen to music.

"Alright then, I'll take you there. Let's sing while we're sitting down."

From the side seat, Wang Zhenyu watched as Li Yan sang with three girls at once, and he was secretly amazed.

She couldn't help but ask her crush, "Do any of those three like Li Yan?"

"What do you say?"

Sitting in her seat, Gan Tiantian had made a basic judgment after observing silently throughout the meal.

The conclusion is that Li Yan deserves to die!
She looked at Wang Zhenyu and said, "If you dare to learn it, just wait and see."

"I didn't say that."

When one song ends, it's the turn of the others.

Then Li Yan discovered that the girls around him were constantly changing.

From flowers, plum blossoms, and plum trees.

Transform into Plum Blossom, Plum Blossom, Flower, River
Anyway, those who aren't sitting next to him will always find a chance to pull someone up to sing, and then come back to see who gets the throne.

This left Li Yan speechless.

Li Yan sang for two hours and was fine, but the three people next to him were sweating a bit.

Back at Feiyun Pavilion, Jiang Yingzhu couldn't wait to give a hint.

"Li Yan, I'm a little hungry."

"Then I'll go buy groceries. You can just have some snacks to tide you over."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded and went inside with Mengmeng.

Hua Junshu remained outside, his questioning gaze falling on Li Yan's face.

"Shall I go with you?"

"Okay."

"Do you need my help tonight?"

"No need for that," Li Yan shook his head. At the same time, he went to push the motorcycle out.

Afterwards, I went to the market to buy groceries and went home to prepare a big meal.

Jiang Yingzhu stood guard at the door like a door god.

"Can't you go play?"

"I think you're just playing around."

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Mengmeng won't let me read her novels, and I can't understand the scripts my senior writes. Do you think I want to be here?"

"Go play games."

"I'm afraid I'll lose track of time if I get vaccinated."

"In that case, you can stir-fry it for me."

"Me, cook it?" Jiang Yingzhu asked doubtfully. "Are you sure?"
