I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 376 Zhuzhu and Mengmeng also pulled.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't you have any objections to being used as a shield?"

On the playground, Jiang Yingzhu was pulling Li Yan along the track when she heard this and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever your opinion, I've been your shield before."

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu, who were following behind the two, also nodded.

However, since Zhuzhu needed to use her as a shield, they couldn't disturb her and remained silent.

"Okay, you're right."

Li Yan glanced at his hand being pulled and said, "Let's hurry up, there aren't many students in the first year of high school."

“It’s normal to use someone as a shield or a handshake.” Jiang Yingzhu noticed his gaze. “I don’t care, so why do you?”

Li Yan shrugged and just walked around the playground with Jiang Yingzhu.

Li Yan didn't know if the freshmen had given up trying to chat them up, but he seemed to have noticed the onlookers in his class.

On the balcony of the school dormitory, Ma Liang had just spent his first night living at the school.

He shares a dorm room with Zhang Wei and Xiao Shuai; currently, the entire four-person dorm is occupied by just the three of them.

Ma Liang was brushing his teeth on the balcony, and he could see the playground just by looking up.

Upon closer inspection, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother Wei! Brother Xiao! Look! Li Yan is holding hands with Jiang Yingzhu on the playground!"

"What's so interesting about them holding hands?" Xiao Shuai yawned. "With their relationship, it's normal for them to go into the woods."

"But Mei Mengqian and that senior from our senior year who we're very close to are following behind them!"

Zhang Wei's voice came from the bathroom, "Wow! That's awesome! Is this some kind of infernal battleground? Liangzi, keep a close eye on things, I'll see when I come out!"

"What the hell are you looking at!" Xiao Shuai suddenly jumped off the bed. "Awei, stop masturbating in the toilet every morning. Your dad has been waiting for half an hour."

"Brother Xiao, you know I have constipation."

"Indeed, half an hour is a bit too long for you."

Xiao Shuai gave a casual reply, ignoring the explanations inside the restroom, and went to the balcony to brush his teeth while looking down at the situation.

"They were actually holding hands."

"But Mei Mengqian and Senior Hua Junshu were walking so close, they should have seen it, right? If they saw it, why didn't they seem to react?"

Ma Liang nodded repeatedly, when suddenly he heard a shout of cursing coming from the balcony of the next dormitory room.

"Hey! That couple is showing off their love on the playground first thing this morning, I'm reporting them!"

Ma Liang looked at Xiao Shuai, who explained, "The low-scoring student in Class 4 has similar grades to Ye Daijia, so there's no need to worry."

"That's good." Ma Liang was genuinely worried that the class representative would be reported, after all, he had helped him.

Jiang Yingzhu and Li Yan walked around the playground twice.

Remarkable results!

Those who dare to openly imitate Boss Cao are, after all, a minority.

However, instead of flirting with Jiang Yingzhu, Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian attracted the attention of others.

A tall boy, clearly a first-year high school student, ran up to Mei Mengqian, carrying a breakfast in his hand.

"Hey classmate, I saw you've walked around the track several times. You must be hungry. I bought an extra breakfast." The tall boy flashed a sunny and cheerful smile.

Hua Junshu stopped in his tracks, following Mei Mengqian, and looked at her and the boy with interest, wondering how Mengmeng would handle the situation.

"Excuse me, I've already eaten."

Mei Mengqian looked tense, as if she were keeping everyone at arm's length.

"I've already bought it, so if you're not going to eat it, just throw it away."

Snapped!
The breakfast fell directly to the ground from Mei Mengqian's hands.

"I'm sorry, I don't like receiving gifts from others."

As Mei Mengqian spoke, she pulled her senior and left.

Upstairs in the dormitory, Xiao Shuai laughed out loud and patted Ma Liang on the shoulder.

"Look, this is the Joker."

"Brother Xiao, stop laughing. Mei Mengqian went up and held hands with Brother Yan. Zhuo! One on each side!"

"Huh?!" Zhang Wei groaned from the restroom, then walked out. "Let me see."

"Damn, he's not even wearing pants."

On the playground, Mei Mengqian held her senior's hand for more than ten meters, then let go of her, ran to Li Yan's other side, and took Li Yan's hand.

"Zhuzhu, let Li Yan be my shield for a while."

Jiang Yingzhu was stunned by Mengmeng's actions. She felt that everyone on the playground was looking over, and even people in the teaching building and the comprehensive building were watching them.

You blushing monster, you really dare to do that!
Li Yan expressed his approval of this.

He would never know what amazing things Mengmeng could do once she mustered up her courage.

Jiang Yingzhu saw someone take out their phone, and she didn't want to play any silly games with Mengmeng.

Moreover, Mengmeng's reasons were quite valid, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Okay then, I'll go with my senior."

Jiang Yingzhu stepped back to her senior's side, and Mei Mengqian and Li Yan took their place walking together in front.

The two were holding hands, but Jiang Yingzhu let go of Li Yan and moved aside.

Faced with the many gazes on the playground, Mei Mengqian felt embarrassed to hold on.

After walking around twice, the bell rang for the start of morning self-study.

Jiang Yingzhu stepped forward, intending to lead Li Yan and Mengmeng back to the classroom.

At this moment, Hua Junshu, who was walking beside her, turned his gaze to Li Yan.

"Walk around with me a couple of times before you go up."

"Huh?" Jiang Yingzhu was surprised and pinched Li Yan's waist with dissatisfaction. "But senior doesn't need a shield."

"Yes, just browsing around, and by the way, could you help me come up with a topic for my next video?"

Hua Junshu nodded, then turned his gaze back to Li Yan.

"Okay." Li Yan nodded.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu had no choice but to leave.

The number of people on the playground decreased, and even the first-year high school students returned to their classrooms.

So, Hua Junshu took Li Yan's hand in a very natural and generous manner.

"Zhuzhu and Mengmeng also had diarrhea just now."

The question that came out first left Li Yan speechless. After a pause, he asked, "So, what's your topic, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu tilted his head. "I was just enjoying the feeling of holding hands, so I forgot."

After saying that, she didn't look at Li Yan's expression, but instead raised their clasped hands and looked them over.

"It feels a bit heavy, why are Zhuzhu and Mengmeng fighting over holding it?"

"Hmm," Li Yan pondered for a moment, then spread his fingers and squeezed his palm to envelop her hand.

"That way it won't be heavy."

After walking around twice, morning self-study had already begun.

"Have you thought of a topic yet, senior?"

I've thought of it, but I'm not telling you.

Seeing Li Yan's stunned expression, Hua Junshu pursed her lips slightly, her pink lips outlining a bright curve on her fair cheeks.

Li Yan was slightly stunned, feeling that the senior student looked really beautiful when she smiled like this.

Hua Junshu released Li Yan's hand and walked towards the teaching building.

"It's time to go back to class."

Li Yan also returned to the classroom.

Today is Monday, and Li Ping is already leading the morning self-study session.

He didn't mention being late when he came in.

Instead, he greeted them.

"We're here."

"Yes, good morning, homeroom teacher." Li Yan inexplicably felt like a leader.

"Good morning." Li Ping nodded, ignoring the strange looks from the class monitor and other students, and continued speaking to Li Yan:

"Take a break, then practice the flag-raising music with the music club members. It's Monday, and we have to raise the flag today."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan nodded calmly.

The students around them started to get restless.

"Wow! The music club has this benefit too. I wish I had joined back then!" Lin Yufan said enviously.

Yu Qingya nodded, "Yes, we don't even have to go to morning self-study."

Jiang Yingzhu and the others, however, became restless and couldn't wait to rush out of the classroom.

"How long will you practice?" Li Yan asked.

"Both morning classes are mine; you can use them for practice," Li Ping said, waving his hand.

The music club members are all students from their class, and they even perform during the flag-raising ceremony.

In Li Ping's view, if they perform well this time, they can secure the task of playing music during the flag-raising ceremony in the future, which would be a source of pride for their class and a matter of face for the school leaders!

If it's done well, then the homeroom teacher can benefit from it.

Li Ping was feeling quite pleased with himself, while the students in the class were already feeling envious.

"Damn it! You hypocrites! Why can't our arts club use morning study sessions and regular classes?!"

Yu Bin cursed loudly. He was late for early morning self-study this morning. He said he was going to handle some matters for the literary club, but Li Ping gave him a good scolding.

“Brother Bin, just accept it.” Zhang Wei sighed. “That’s how Li Ping is. It’s been a year. She’ll follow her husband wherever he goes.”

"If that's the case," Xiao Shuai stroked his chin, "can I report Li Ping for bigamy, especially since both victims are minors?"

"Stop talking, Gou Ping is looking over here!" Ma Liang reminded him.

The members of Li Yan's music club headed to the main building.

Yu Bing and Ye Hui were actually quite happy to not have to attend classes.

Who can refuse to attend class when it's time to attend?

Upon arriving at room 203 of the main building, the group first opened the doors and windows to let in some fresh air.

"How should we practice? Should we each be responsible for one instrument, just like last time?" Ye Hui asked.

Li Yan shook his head. "Let's take a look at the new musical instruments the school has acquired first."

He led the way, opened the storeroom door, and immediately saw a whole host of brand-new musical instruments.

Sure enough, we saw drums and horns, quite a few of them.

It seems the school is really planning to set up a marching band for the flag-raising ceremony.

The music club was just there to see how it went.

Li Yan then pointed to the drum and bugle corps and said, "We don't want anything complicated. We're just the atmosphere group, and our voices definitely can't be louder than the school's loudspeakers."

"So, just use some simple things to build up your morale, so that you don't hear nothing on the radio."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu immediately panicked, "What am I going to do about singing?!"

"Just ask the principal for a microphone, that'll do," Li Yan said.

Ye Hui picked up a French horn. "I can do this, but you guys..."

“I can do it too.” Li Yan glanced at Mengmeng. “Mengmeng, you play the drums. It’s easy. Yu Bing, you teach her. Everyone, grab your things and head to the next classroom.”

The group immediately nodded, and Yu Bing picked up a large drum that reached her waist and said to Mei Mengqian:

"This vertical drum makes a loud sound, but you have to master the rhythm."

"Okay." Mei Mengqian nodded, picked up the other one, and then reached out to Bing.
"Bingbing, let me get it for you!"

She felt that she could squeeze into the drum by curling up her body.

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing shook her head, "I can move it!"

The group carried their belongings and headed to the next classroom.

Whether out of curiosity about the drumhead or the instrument itself, Mei Mengqian tripped at the doorway.

The drum in his hand fell to the ground with a dull thud.

She lost her balance and crashed into the podium.

"what!"

"Be careful, Mengmeng."

Yu Bing's exclamation and Jiang Yingzhu's voice appeared at the same time.

That podium has sharp corners; if you bump into it, your head will be smashed open!
Li Yan was at the back of the group when he saw this and quickly moved to the front.

He casually scooped up Mengmeng, who was about to fall flat on her face, and held her in his arms.

Seeing this, Yu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, then said smugly:

"Mengmeng, you're so silly. Look at me, I won't fall."
