I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 364 Arrested While on the Run
October 3rd, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As soon as the rooster in the backyard coop started crowing, Hua Junshu, Mei Mengqian, and Jiang Yingzhu all got up.

Just as they were about to pull off his clothes, Li Yan opened his eyes and looked at the three women who had already washed up and tidied themselves up.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm waking you up!" Jiang Yingzhu raised her eyebrows, clearly dissatisfied with his tone. "Even the emperor doesn't get the treatment of three beautiful girls waking you up together."

"Really?! I don't believe it." Li Yan didn't want to argue with them. "Why did you wake me up so early?"

"Let's go home," Mei Mengqian said first. "If we don't leave now, your parents will be here."

Perhaps feeling that her words were somewhat ambiguous, she added, "I'm a little shy, no, not shy, just nervous. I want to go back as soon as possible."

Explain if you want, why are you blushing like a teapot?

Li Yan thought to himself, then turned his gaze to his senior.

"I haven't done my homework yet, I need to go back and do it, and I also have to update the videos every week."

This is much more natural.

Jiang Yingzhu shrugged. "They've all left. If I don't leave, it'll be boring here."

"Not eating breakfast?" Li Yan found it amusing.

Mei Mengqian shook her head repeatedly, while Hua Junshu said:

"Just eat two of the dates you grew."

"Jiang Yingzhu, you take them and go first." Li Yan sat up and glanced at the three of them.

"I'll finish breakfast, say goodbye, and then leave."

The three nodded and set off immediately.

Like a thief, I sneaked downstairs and quietly opened the door.

However, when they got to the roadside, they saw a long string of connected house plots and a cement road without a single car.

The three fell into silence.

"Zhuzhu, shall we run out on foot?!" Mei Mengqian asked, as if she had already summoned the heroic spirit of the Red Army's Long March. "I can do it!"

Jiang Yingzhu was also in a dilemma. There were hardly any Eighth Route Army vehicles around, let alone any dogs, even early in the morning.

Moreover, the key point is not that, but that if you go out onto the main road leading to the town, it may be difficult to hail a taxi.

You can only walk and wait for a bus that stops when you wave it down.

"We'll have to use our legs; there's no village or shop in sight."

"Don't talk like you were kidnapped." Li Yan's voice rang out behind them, accompanied by the hum of an electric motor.

A red electric tricycle stopped beside the three of them. "Get on, I'll give you a ride."

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, "Let me drive!"

"Okay, I'll lie down next to my senior and Mengmeng for a while."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Mei Mengqian said, "Actually, Zhuzhu's driving skills are better than Li Yan's."

Jiang Yingzhu looked a little upset. "No, I haven't had breakfast. Li Yan will have to open it."

Driving a three-wheeled motorcycle, three women in the back of the vehicle chattered excitedly about the scenery along the way.

I clearly saw him when I came the day before yesterday, but when I saw him again when I left, he seemed different.

Li Yan's three-wheeled vehicle had just turned a corner and arrived at the intersection leading to the main road.

Then I saw a Mercedes-Benz coming from the opposite direction.

"Drip!"

He blinked, moved aside to the left lane, and drove to the side of the road, pretending not to know him.

The Mercedes stopped and came to a complete stop. Ms. Fang got out of the car and blocked the road.

In the truck bed, Mengmeng and Shushu, who saw Ms. Fang, both lowered their heads in unison.

Oh no, I got caught sneaking off by the other person's parents!
Mei Mengqian was still pretending to be an ostrich, while Hua Junshu had already raised his head, expressionless.

Jiang Yingzhu, who was sitting with her back to Li Yan, couldn't suppress her laughter, and her shoulders were trembling violently.

Li Yan sat in the driver's seat, looking at Ms. Fang.

"Mom, what are you doing? Be careful or I'll report you for dangerous driving."

"Dangering driving!" Ms. Fang stepped forward in a few strides. "I think you're the dangerous one! Tell me, what are you doing with Xiao Jiang, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Hua?!"

"Send them back to the city," Li Yan said, as if it were obvious. "The senior students are going back to school tomorrow."

"Senior year of high school is indeed very stressful," Ms. Fang nodded. "I hope Xiaomei is alright."

“Yes, that’s right, I have to accompany my parents.” Li Yan nodded, speaking sarcastically.

Ms. Fang tugged at his ear in annoyance.

But in her heart, she accepted his reasoning.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he hadn't revealed the truth.

He quickly greeted Jiang Yingzhu from behind.

"Aunt Fang!"

"Hey~, Xiaohua, Xiaomei, why don't you ride in Li Yan's dad's car? It's fast and safe, and he'll take you straight to the city."

Ms. Fang said with a warm smile, "Li Yan's rickety tricycle will probably run out of power before it even reaches the bus station."

Mei Mengqian thought she could just take a taxi in the county town and not go to the bus station.

However, fearing it would be seen as extravagant, he remained silent and looked at his mouth double.

Jiang Yingzhu had just eaten a few dates in the back of the cart and was already so full that she felt sleepy. She also felt that it was indeed not good for Li Yan to ride the old tricycle.

"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Li."

"Oh, no trouble at all." Old Li leaned out of the driver's seat and let them get in the car.

Li Yan wanted to go with them, but Ms. Fang stopped him.

"You can take me home on your bike."

"Mom, you know the way. I'll give you the bike, you can ride it back."

Although Li Yan said that, he still turned his back on it.

Over there, Old Li was still leisurely strolling around. Li Yan said he was bad at it, and then he said that small roads were not suitable for large vehicles.

In Lao Li's car, Jiang Yingzhu had just sat down when she said she wanted to sleep and then closed her eyes.

Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian didn't know what to do.

Especially Mei Mengqian. Old Li wasn't a talkative person, so he asked some trivial questions.

Ask questions like, "Have you eaten?", "How old are you?", "How are your grades?", "How many days of vacation do you have?", etc.

Li Yan, who was secretly observing with his divine sense, was speechless.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he lightly touched the car's control panel. A low, hoarse human voice rang out: "Humans light candles, ghosts blow them out."

Old Li was taken aback, wondering how the car could suddenly put things in by itself, and decided to check it later.

However, the noise did improve the atmosphere inside the car considerably.

Meanwhile, after arriving home, Ms. Fang immediately grabbed Li Yan and confronted him with the photos.

"Tell me honestly, what exactly are you planning to do? Don't do anything you'll regret for the rest of your life."

Yesterday, my eldest sister Chen Qiujuan said something that she didn't care about most of, but she was right about one thing.

Ms. Fang was genuinely afraid that her child would go astray after suddenly becoming rich.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing." Li Yan patted her hand.

"Really? Then tell me, what are you thinking?"

Ms. Fang was skeptical, even though most parents believe they are smarter than their children, even if their child is the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

But Li Yan has completely shattered this impression through his economic rise.

"We're just good friends, and there's no way we'd date. Mom, just give up on that idea."

Ms. Fang nodded, but then felt something was off, wondering what she meant by giving up on the idea.

This brat, she talks like she really wants him to be in a relationship right now!
Li Yan's grandparents had also woken up by then and came out to see what was happening outside.

Then he learned that Jiang Yingzhu and the other two had left, and couldn't help but say a few words of regret.

Then, both my uncle's and my younger uncle's families also returned.

Li Yan stayed at home until noon, having a family reunion dinner with his family.

"Xiao Yan, these are mooncakes made by Grandma. Take them back and let Zhu Zhu and the other two girls try them."

"Okay, Grandma. Remember to eat those dates, don't leave them."

"Eat, eat."

Li Yan left on foot. As Old Li would say, "Why bother seeing him off? A boy should walk a bit to get some exercise."

He believes that Lao Li just wanted to gossip with Ms. Fang as soon as possible.

"Here he comes! Tell me quickly, how did things go over there? Did you get him home?!" Ms. Fang, seeing her son walk away, showed no sadness at parting and excitedly patted Mr. Li on the shoulder.

The uncle's family, who were eating sunflower seeds, and the younger uncle all took two steps closer.

"Yes, yes! They even had tea and were shown around." Old Li said with a smile.

It's like we're exploring some kind of tourist attraction.

He took out his phone, and the first thing he saw was a front view of Li Yan's Feiyun Xiaolou.

"Look, this is what your son decorated. Isn't it stylish?" Old Li handed his phone to Ms. Fang.

Ms. Fang clicked her tongue in amazement, zooming in on her iPhone to examine the screen.

"You're even planting flowers? You're doing a great job."

"Turn to the next page, there are two more trees."

Ms. Fang had already turned the tree over and saw the cherry tree and the jujube tree.

"This kid is living quite comfortably."

Muttering to herself, she continued reading and saw the elegant furnishings in the main room. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was so good about them, but they were simply pleasing to the eye.

"It looks nice and is very clean!" Ms. Fang nodded. "Did Xiaohua clean it?"

Although she hadn't met Hua Junshu many times, she could tell from her limited intuition that this girl was a good homemaker.

It's not that Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian are wasteful.

However, there are some things that are simply not something they can have at their age.

"I don't know," Old Li shook his head, urging her to continue flipping through the pages with an expectant look:

"And our room, you can search it."

"What's the rush!" Ms. Fang waved him away, carefully examining the photos of Laba Festival, including some decorations, the kitchen, and the bathroom.
Then he looked at his own room.

It's new, clean, and looks nice, but it's not popular.

"How about we go to Li Yan's place for the New Year this year?"

Ms. Fang said that her words indicated she was already treating Li Yan as an independent family.

Old Li had been interested for a while, so naturally there was no problem.

Behind him, Li Daoguo coughed twice.

Old Li quickly said, "Dad, you should go too. It's been a long time since I've been to the city."

"Well, let's go check it out."

·····
When Li Yan returned to Feiyun Building with mooncakes, he saw his senior sister making mooncakes as well.

The sweet aroma filled the entire house from the kitchen.

Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu sat at the door, one playing with the cat and the other fertilizing the flowers.

The two men saw what he was carrying.

"Mooncakes, you bought them? Why aren't they even packaged?" Jiang Yingzhu looked at the contents of the transparent plastic bag.

"Grandma made it."

"Oh." Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head, reached out and took out two, putting one in her own mouth and handing the other to Mengmeng, "Mmm~"

Mei Mengqian accepted the mooncake, feeling a little guilty.

Grandma got up early to make mooncakes, but she ran away.

Jiang Yingzhu could tell what she was thinking at a glance when she saw that she wasn't eating.

"Mengmeng!"

"Ok?"

"You are so narcissistic."

Mei Mengqian blushed. "No."
