I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

How does Chapter 326 feel?
Li Yan stared at the fingers being pinched for two seconds, but even those two seconds felt like an eternity to Mei Mengqian.

I wanted to let go, but I had just said I was going to gather material, so I felt bad.

She wanted to keep holding it, but was afraid he would say something to refuse her.

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her; she'd probably cry.

So she looked like a criminal about to go to court, her head bowed, her long, fan-like eyelashes suppressing her gaze, making her look like a wronged wife who couldn't do anything about it.

"Will this be enough to gather materials?"

Upon hearing Li Yan's question, Mei Mengqian's eyelashes trembled slightly, wondering if he was about to say something like that.

Then I felt my fingers slip into the gaps between her fingers.

Under her lowered eyelids, the two intertwined their fingers, one, two, three.
Interlocking fingers, palms pressed together.

Just like those couples holding hands on the street!

Mei Mengqian, who had been looking down, lifted her eyelids and stared wide-eyed at her hands.

Even though Dali is cool at this time of year and many people come here to escape the heat, she felt hot all over and her forehead was slightly sweaty.

Originally, in her plan, as long as Li Yan did not object to the research, she would hold hands one by one, and slowly turn it into interlocking fingers.

How did it all happen so quickly!
The process was so fast that it caught everyone off guard, like being prepared to drink a few sips of cold water on a hot summer day, only to suddenly taste sweet and sour plum soup.

The sweet and sour taste not only lingers on the tip of the tongue, but also spreads through the heart.

Mei Mengqian's gaze fell on Li Yan.

Whether he was faking it or not, Li Yan looked completely normal, while she stared at him with a puzzled expression.

"Weren't we supposed to be doing research? How's it going?"

"Well"

Mei Mengqian let out a soft hum, her face flushed, and she lowered her eyes without answering. She pulled him away in silence.

However, this person persisted, seemingly demanding an answer and insisting on seeing her current state.

"Don't you feel anything? Then I'll let go first."

"No!"

Mei Mengqian uttered a single word in a low voice, and the hand that was being held captive tightened its grip.

If Li Yan hadn't been so good at hearing, he would have thought she was just whining again.

"Okay, okay, I won't let go. How do you feel? Tell me, I'll go gather information too."

Gathering material! Gathering material! Gathering material my foot!

Mei Mengqian was internally frantic. This person was clearly holding her hand, yet he still asked what it felt like.

How does it feel?!

Don't you know that yourself? You just keep asking, asking, asking. All you do is ask.

I'm so angry! I really want to turn into Zhu Zhu and give him a good beating!
Running briskly seemed to release the turbulent emotions in her heart. No matter what questions Li Yan asked, she didn't answer at all and just kept rushing forward.

Li Yan even saw a photographer taking pictures of them, who was then preparing to sell the photos.

But when they looked up, they were already hundreds of meters away.

Li Yan naturally didn't think it was his problem.

The photographer must be too weak; he couldn't even keep up with a girl's pace.

After walking for about half a kilometer, my classmate finally vented enough, mainly because the person next to him stopped asking those embarrassing questions.

Li Yan also felt that she was almost done, and pointed to a nearby milk tea shop.

"Why don't we go in and sit down, and bring a drink for Zhuzhu and the senior student?"

"Let's take another walk on the way back."

"Okay, let's buy ourselves a drink then. What would you like to drink?"

"Sweet and sour."

Mei Mengqian tilted her head slightly. She originally wanted to say plum soup, but then worried that he would ask, so she changed her mind.

She also knew that milk tea shops couldn't possibly have plum soup.

This time it was her turn to be led away.

The milk tea shop is decorated in a rather artistic style. Inside, you can see several couples sitting and talking.

Mei Mengqian glanced at their hands and pursed her lips.

The waiter glanced at them but didn't say anything, seemingly quite introverted.

Li Yan's gaze swept over the price list.

Names like Space Odyssey, Rainbow Unicorn, and Dark Forest.

I don't understand what it is.

And what about Little Milk Tea, a hot and cold experience, a finger-slipping duet? Is this milk tea legitimate?
After looking around and still not understanding the ingredients, he simply stated his needs directly.

"Two cups of lemon tea, to go, 70% sugar."

"Two cups of dreams come true."

The shop assistant nodded and then began making it.

Li Yan clicked his tongue; the name sounded quite nice.

The tea was ready, and after paying twenty, the two continued their stroll.

Although she didn't say much, Mei Mengqian felt that this was good.

Walk along the street, turn when you want to turn, and cross the street when you want to cross it.

Occasionally, you'll encounter a few pedicabs soliciting passengers or selling products.

But that didn't stop her from recording this feeling.

She really wanted to gather material.

Half an hour later, an hour later, Li Yan received a call from Jiang Yingzhu.

"Where are you? And Mengmeng, she's not here either."

"Oh, Mengmeng said she wanted to go out to gather information, so I came out with her."

When Mei Mengqian heard him speak so bluntly, she immediately looked over nervously.

"Oh, so where are you now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan looked around and saw a cloud that resembled a tornado.

"Underneath a cloud that looks like a tornado."

"."

Jiang Yingzhu's speechless voice came from behind, "Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

"You must be stupid, my grades are higher than yours."

"Get out of here! Send me a picture of the tornado and come back soon, we have to leave!"

After saying that, Jiang Yingzhu hung up the phone, guessing that Li Yan and Mengmeng probably didn't know where she was either.

She was right; the two of them had been wandering aimlessly for a long time and had no idea where they were.

"Li Yan, do you still remember the way back?"

Mei Mengqian realized the problem and quickly asked, "I remember."

"That's good."

Most people would have already opened a map app by now, but Mei Mengqian is no ordinary person; she completely forgot about it.

Li Yan was unaware of this. He simply used his divine sense to easily locate their residence and then found a relatively short route.

I bought some things on the way.

Back in the courtyard, I saw Hua Junshu and Jiang Yingzhu sitting there, with two other people opposite them.

A landlord and a young man, who also appeared to be guests renting rooms here.

The four were chatting, but it looked more like Jiang Yingzhu was talking to the other two.

The senior student remained completely silent.

Occasionally, when a young man tried to strike up a conversation, Hua Junshu would simply give a curt "hmm," remaining aloof and indifferent.

That effectively killed the topic.

Fifty meters away, Mei Mengqian had already let go of Li Yan and walked in as if nothing had happened.

The two people's entrance attracted the attention of the landlord and the young man.

"You're back. Xiao Jiang was just talking about you guys." The landlord was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, and Li Yan felt that he would be very suitable for developing his career in Jin Guan.

"Hmm." Li Yan nodded, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward. Why did you also say "hmm"?

Mei Mengqian simply kept quiet. She was socially awkward to begin with, and only behaved better in front of familiar people.

The landlord stood up and introduced the young man.

"This is Xiao Huang, he also lives here."

"Oh." Li Yan nodded indifferently, ignoring the landlord and Xiao Huang.

He wasn't the talkative type who could strike up a conversation with a stranger.

He handed the milk tea he was carrying to Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu.

"Red bean and rose milk tea, one with 30% sugar and one with 50% sugar, you can choose."

Jiang Yingzhu randomly chose a cup; she could handle either of the two sweetness levels, so Hua Junshu took the rest.

After taking a few sips of tea, Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan's neck, where there were several ropes.

What's that hanging around your neck?

"A hat."

Li Yan took two fishermen's hats from behind his shoulder and tossed them to the two of them.

"I bought these for you guys. The UV rays are quite strong in Dali, so please be careful to protect yourselves from the sun."

"Oh."

Jiang Yingzhu picked up the hat and admired it. As soon as Mengmeng entered the room, she noticed the round hat on her head, which turned out to be a fisherman's hat.

She looked at it again, still finding fault, "Why is it like this? I wanted to wear one of those straw hats from when I was a kid in the countryside, it was so stylish!"

"It's super tacky!" Li Yan retorted mercilessly.

At this moment, Xiao Huang, who had been left standing to the side, and the landlord finally found a topic to talk about.

"Hey, I think that kind of hat is pretty good."

"A good-looking person looks good even in a tattered burlap sack."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan sized up Jiang Yingzhu and his senior.

"Hmm, you can let me try it on when you have the chance."

Jiang Yingzhu and the other girl both rolled their eyes at him.

"Go away, you're dreaming."

The landlord and Xiao Huang immediately moved to Bengbu.

I was initially quite interested in seeing two single, pretty girls.

Dali has a great atmosphere. Take a stroll at night, chat during the day, organize some artsy activities that young girls like, and you might just win them over.

There was another guy there, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

Doesn't the girl next to this guy get jealous?
Before the two could figure out the relationship between Li Yan and the other three, Jiang Yingzhu and her companions were already preparing to set off for the ancient city.

"I've compiled a list of snacks in Dali online, and I want to try them all!"

"it is good."

Xiao Huang followed along, wanting to warn that many foods have hidden pitfalls.

Little did anyone know that Li Yan had already spoken.

"Aren't you afraid it'll be both expensive and taste bad?"

"So what? I'll just give you some to eat."

"???" Li Yan tilted his head. Was he some kind of trash can?

Jiang Yingzhu squinted, "How did you and Mengmeng gather materials just now?"

Mei Mengqian kept her head down and didn't say anything, since it wasn't her who was being asked.

"We'll just find the ingredients, what other way is there? But actually, it's not like I can't eat them."

Li Yan wondered when his little green plum had become so clever.

The group traveled by car to the ancient city, and then chose to walk to Foreigners' Street.

It was only 5:30, the streetlights were just coming on, but it wasn't dark yet.

They take photos at the archway at the entrance before going inside.

The essence of travel is taking pictures.

Jiang Yingzhu just took pictures randomly, and was interested in everything she saw.

Some shop owners were pleased to see her leading three people closer.

Who knew they'd just take a few pictures and leave without even asking the price?

He immediately looked suspicious, as if he had been emotionally deceived.

Li Yan thought that Jiang Yingzhu would be more interested if their cultural and creative products were edible.

In contrast, Mei Mengqian was more interested and would inquire about it, but after learning about the price, she decided to give up on buying it.

That's why she walked slowly and was at the very back.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that the price is insulting to my intelligence.

Li Yan and Hua Junshu walked together in the middle of the group. Seeing her indifferent expression, Li Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Aren't you interested in these things, senior?"

"No."

"Why don't you go and see for yourself like them?"

Li Yan was able to walk here calmly because he had divine sense and could see clearly, while Hua Junshu did not have divine sense.

I want to go with you.
