I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 350 Are you rewarding yourself?
In short, keep pure thoughts!

The sound of reciting key points during morning reading came from Mei Mengqian, who realized it was time to check up on Li Yan. She quickly pulled him up.

Why didn't you call me just now?

"I'm watching the wind with you."

Li Yan walked leisurely beside her, saying, "Besides, it's not anything important."

Mei Mengqian immediately looked away, after all, the morning check-up wasn't something they absolutely had to do.

In reality, even if ordinary members don't go, nothing serious will happen.

Most people come to stand guard simply so they don't have to study in the classroom during the morning self-study period.

Mei Mengqian actually wanted to attend the morning self-study session, but she wanted to spend some time alone with Li Yan even more.

"I'm your girlfriend today, you can't talk back to me, or I... I won't sleep with you!"

Li Yan looked at her in surprise. "So, just not talking back will solve the problem?"

"."

Mei Mengqian blushed when she saw the strange look in his eyes.

"It's just sleeping, don't overthink it."

How innocent are they?

"Completely innocent!" Mei Mengqian emphasized, "Just that simple."

The two arrived at the school gate as they talked.

The student council members who were on duty there saw them and greeted them.

"President, hey, are you two together?"

The female member looked at their clasped hands with a shocked expression, because the head of the teaching department was also at the door!

No, are elementary school students this bold in expressing their feelings these days?

Immediately commit the crime!
To be honest, she was a little envious.

I'm already a senior in high school, and I still don't know what love tastes like.

She quickly lowered her voice to remind him, "Dean of Students..."

Without her prompting, the head of the teaching department had already seen Li Yan.

A glimmer of hope has appeared at No. 6 Middle School!
The dean of students' serious face softened into a gentle smile, and his gaze lingered on Mei Mengqian for a moment.

He remembered this girl; she was second in her grade.

A powerful alliance, with the wealthy helping the less fortunate to get rich – excellent!

Nodding in satisfaction, the head of the teaching department turned his attention back to the students who were continuously entering the school.

The female student council member was surprised.

"Is the head of student affairs blind?"

Mei Mengqian was speechless; this senior was really outspoken.

"I don't know, but they shouldn't be deaf."

Li Yan gave his truly fierce subordinate a look that said "good luck," and then led his classmate to patrol the teaching building.

I always felt it was a bit strange to hold hands while inspecting the area; it felt like we were asserting sovereignty.

But you can't blame him; he was forced into it.

It was all just my deskmate's orders.

After wasting most of the morning self-study session, my deskmate finally let go before returning to the classroom.

Li Yan carried a cup of milk tea in his hand, placed one of the cups on his desk, and looked at Jiang Yingzhu sitting in his seat.

"Oh ho, the two tools are back."

Jiang Yingzhu raised an eyebrow, showing no intention of offering her seat, and simply took a sip of her milk tea.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian nodded, but Li Yan ignored her, walked inside, sat in Jiang Yingzhu's seat, and then asked:

Why are you sitting in my seat?

"Chatting with Mengmeng."

Jiang Yingzhu chuckled, then reached into Mei Mengqian's desk drawer.

Suddenly, a bunch of colorful, fragrant envelopes appeared.

"Look! This is the love letter I collected for you during morning self-study. I knew that when you were standing guard at the school gate these past few days, people would definitely notice you."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian felt a little embarrassed and glanced at the love letter in Zhuzhu's hand.

"Zhuzhu, you can just refuse for me."

“I refused, and those people, as if they had planned it together, said I was meddling in other people’s business, since it wasn’t for me.”

Jiang Yingzhu still feels a bit angry when she thinks about it now. "It's just that we were lucky to be born at the right time. If it were three years ago, I would have beaten them to a pulp!"

"Since we've already taken them, why don't we open them and take a look? What's that called again? 'Materials for Execution'."

"I think we can select a few excerpts to read on the radio."

Jiang Yingzhu originally just wanted to have some fun, but as she talked, she ended up falling for it herself.

She touched her chin. "Hey, what do you guys think if I went to stand guard and joined the radio station to read love letters? That would be doing a good deed for those homeroom teachers."

“Then they really have to thank you,” Lin Yufan interjected, “You’re a living devil.”

"But it's really interesting, don't you think?"

“That’s certainly interesting,” Lin Yufan nodded.

If others did this, they might be stopped, but Jiang Yingzhu is different.

"Then I'll read it at noon today."

"Isn't that inappropriate?" Mei Mengqian said. "This is a matter of privacy."

"What's the big deal? Those who really didn't want others to see their love letters left as soon as they saw you weren't there," Jiang Yingzhu waved her hand.

"Don't worry, Mengmeng, I don't need your love letters."

After saying that, she handed the envelope to Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, you take a look first."

"I do not watch."

"So I watched it?"

Mei Mengqian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Ah."

"Yay!" Jiang Yingzhu, who had been suppressing her curiosity for most of the class, was finally satisfied and couldn't wait to open the letter.

Several girls around her stopped studying and all turned their attention to her.

Jiang Yingzhu watched with great interest, but Mei Mengqian noticed something was wrong.

Why are there other things in my desk drawer?

Chocolate, potato chips, Oreos, and even in tiny bags!
There was also milk, lollipops, and spicy snacks.
Mei Mengqian glanced over and saw that almost everything was a snack.

Or it's just ordinary stationery, like pen leads and pencils.

"What are these? Are they gifts like love letters?" Mei Mengqian asked, puzzled.

“This is our birthday present,” Yu Bing said, raising her hand.

Yu Qingya nodded, "Yes, at first it was just the few of us, but later other classmates saw it and gave us some small gifts, which Zhuzhu has put in your drawer."

"Thank you." Mei Mengqian quickly expressed her gratitude, then pushed aside the small items and finally saw the gift that they had been covering.

The packaging is exquisite; you can tell the difference at a glance.

Mei Mengqian glanced at it and saw a set of bookmarks, a copy of "Imagined Communities," a copy of "Teahouse," and a fountain pen.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Mei Mengqian took out the items one by one and looked them over, then thanked the four girls in the back row.

She felt a little embarrassed because she hadn't given them any birthday gifts yet.

Especially Yu Qingya, whose birthday is two days after the Lunar New Year, this year's has already passed.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Guess who sent these?" Yu Qingya said.

“Exactly, I bet you’d never guess.” Guo Cailing nodded.

Yu Bing interrupted, "I can't guess mine, yours are all too simple."

"Is it really that difficult? I feel like I can guess it myself," Li Yan said.

The elementary school student was unconvinced, but following the rules of grades, he dared not provoke Li Yan, who was much smarter than him.

So she said, "This isn't your gift, and you're not allowed to guess. Mengmeng, guess now!"

Mei Mengqian knew immediately that they must have made a bet beforehand, and even Jiang Yingzhu put down the envelope and looked over.

However, I also enjoy playing these little games.

She first picked up the book with the light blue cover, "Imagined Communities."

"This book looks like a theoretical book. Yu Fan, you seem to read this kind of book often. Your argumentative essays are also the most organized. You must have given it to me, right?" She looked at Lin Yu Fan.

"Hehe! Points deducted."

Lin Yufan immediately smiled, "This wasn't a gift from me."

Mei Mengqian was taken aback. "Who is that? Qingya? Are you guys playing cross-dressing?"

"I can't tell you, you'll have to guess." Yu Bing's calves swayed back and forth.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian seemed to be thinking about something, and then she naturally guessed that "Teahouse" was a gift from Yu Qingya.

You guessed right this time.

Then they guessed that the bookmark was a gift from Guo Cailing.

They guessed wrong, so they guessed the pen was a gift from Guo Cailing, which was also wrong.

"So this theory book was a gift from you, Cailing?!" Mei Mengqian asked, somewhat surprised. "Yes! Lin Yufan recommended it to me," Guo Cailing replied.

Mei Mengqian nodded upon hearing this, realizing that there was indeed a deception involved.

Even elementary school students have gone astray; they were just trying to mislead her with physical gestures.

The last two answers were revealed: the fountain pen was the gift from Yu Bing.

The first two periods on Wednesday mornings are all in English.

Mei Mengqian didn't listen; instead, she started reading a book.

Zhou Qinqin saw it, but ignored it.

I know it's the little girl's birthday today, and Mei Mengqian has excellent English grades.

These one or two lessons are mainly used to wrap up the vocabulary and grammar of the new unit from the previous lesson, and to go over the homework.

During the long break between classes, almost all of the first and second year high school students are running exercises.

Only Li Yan and Mei Mengqian were walking around the playground, along the outer edge of the track. Li Yan was forced to come down.

"Sing me a song."

"what?"

Sing!

"What's the reward for singing, my dear girlfriend?"

Mei Mengqian blushed a little at the way she was addressed. "May I give you a hug?"

Are you rewarding yourself?

"certainly not!"

Li Yan guessed that his little classmate would only dare to say something like "give me a hug," so he nodded.

"alright."

"I'm starting."

"Ah."

So Li Yan specifically selected love songs that boys sang to girls.

What about handwritten memories of the past, simple love, and carnivals?

Forget about dimples and love songs.

My deskmate has essentially done desensitization training for himself.

Her face went from being bright red to fair and tender, showing an extremely strong ability to adapt.

It's not that I don't like listening to it anymore, but I'm not so shy anymore.

Occasionally, Li Yan would chime in with a couple of words.

Li Yan found it quite interesting, though she didn't know if she had noticed it herself.

After the long break ended, taking advantage of the chaos, they also found themselves in a corner of the playground.

Mei Mengqian then threw herself into Li Yan's arms, seemingly quite impatient.

Leaning against Li Yan's chest, she couldn't help but rub her head against him like a kitten. His embrace was warm, with a natural fragrance, a faint yet exceptionally comforting feeling.

She liked this feeling very much; it always helped to dispel the sense of unease she felt from her childhood of constantly moving around.

And so the hug lasted for a long time.

"Ahem, Zhuzhu is coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian reluctantly pushed him away and glanced around.

Sure enough, they saw Jiang Yingzhu in the distance, seemingly searching for them.

Blinking her eyes, Mei Mengqian waved and called out to Zhuzhu.

"Why are you hiding here?"

"We just happened to be here."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded and glanced at the two of them.

"Let's go to the small supermarket. I heard they just opened a new oden shop."

Jiang Yingzhu's oden eventually turned into a cold dish.

Because the third period is physics class, Iceberg won't let her eat during class.

At noon, Mei Mengqian invited Yu Qingya and others to lunch.

I also cut the cake that Ms. Ye Qian sent.

Unlike last time when Ye Qian personally delivered the cake, this time Ye Qian called Li Yan.

I asked Li Yan to pick it up from the cake shop.

It's that cake shop on the back street.

Sometimes, Li Yan wondered if Aunt Ye wanted him to help take care of the children.

Otherwise, why would you be so at ease?!
There was still more than an hour left after lunch.

Jiang Yingzhu finished eating and prepared to play games as usual, even dragging along some elementary school students.
"Don't lead people astray."

"Ugh, I'm not going to the internet cafe, I'll play at home!" Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes and looked at Hua Junshu.

"Senior, are you going back?"

"Okay, let's take a break."

So the group immediately separated, seemingly intentionally leaving Mei Mengqian and Li Yan behind.

"Li Yan, would you like to go see a movie?" Mei Mengqian blinked.

"Is there not enough time?"

"Anyway, the first and second periods in the afternoon are Chinese class. It's actually okay if we don't go to Chinese class."

Li Yan silently gave her a thumbs up. Good, good, good. That's why Li Ping is so ambitious.

What was taught became an object of daily contempt in science classes.

"Okay, I'll send a message to the homeroom teacher."

Li Yan took out his phone and asked for an afternoon off for himself and his classmate.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian looked around furtively, then crept up to him and whispered in Li Yan's ear:
"Thank you, brother~"

Li Yan's ears were itchy, and his heart was a little numb. He glanced at Mengmeng, not expecting her to dare to pull this stunt.

"Call Dad."

"Li Yan is bad!" Mengmeng rolled her eyes and pulled him forward by the hand.

"Let's go see a movie."

cinema.

What would you two like to see?

Mei Mengqian glanced at it and pointed to a poster that was clearly a horror movie.

"For this, 'The Invisible Guest,' I'd like a couple's seat."

She spoke with such confidence, completely unlike the last time she accompanied Li Yan to the movies.

"Ok."

It wasn't a holiday today, so there weren't many people. After Li Yan and his companion entered, most of the theater was empty.

As soon as Li Yan sat down on the large chair in the couple's seat, he felt himself being hugged again and couldn't help but look down at the person in his arms.

"It's so scary, I'm afraid!" Mengmeng whispered.

“Look up and talk to me.”

"No!" Mei Mengqian's nape was flushed a thin layer of pink. "I'm scared!"

Li Yan sometimes finds his deskmate quite speechless; he's a master at playing the ostrich.

The movie hasn't even started, what's there to be afraid of?

Mei Mengqian is indeed not afraid of horror movies, she's just shy.

She has to muster up the courage to do many things.

The movie slowly started, and the spacious theater was actually quite conducive to watching horror movies.

But Mei Mengqian didn't pay any attention; she was too busy enjoying the hug she hadn't had a chance to enjoy that morning.

Surrounded by soft, warm jade, Li Yan could only watch movies; the conditions simply didn't allow him to do anything else.

The two of them stayed together like that.

I sat there for two hours.

When they returned to the classroom after evening self-study, they were immediately tortured by Jiang Yingzhu.

"What did you do this afternoon?!"

“Li Yan said he wanted to watch a movie.” Mei Mengqian immediately pointed at Li Yan, “I had no choice but to go with him.”

Jiang Yingzhu was speechless at the clumsy lie; couldn't Mengmeng come up with a better reason?

But it's her birthday today, so I'll think I'll pass.

but!

It's terrible that someone didn't inform her.

Jiang Yingzhu glared at Li Yan.

"I'll start playing games with you at noon next month."

"Hmph!" Jiang Yingzhu turned her head and snorted, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

The onlookers were quite disappointed.

How come it's over already?
Were we just easily dismissed like that?
Where is justice? Where is the law of nature?
