I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 420 Early

Old Li was very satisfied to see that his comforting words had worked.

"That's right, don't overthink it."

"How could I not think about it? All three girls are good girls, and they all seem to be interested in your son. I wonder how that kid Li Yan will handle it."

Thinking about this gave Old Li a headache, and he had no other ideas.

But then Ms. Fang said, "No matter how he handles it, if he dares to do what Lao Jiang did, I'll break his legs!"

Li Yan yawned, wondering what level of weapon he would need to break his own leg.

Ultimately, it was determined that Ms. Fang could not buy it, nor could she create it with her intelligence.

Good, my leg won't break.

·····
November 4th, Saturday.

Hana Junshu woke up as usual and glanced at the maid outfits displayed on the clothes rack.

I remembered that Li Yan's parents came back last night.

Then I won't buy breakfast outside.

Do it yourself; you'll need to make more.

After washing up and getting out of bed, she walked out of her room and hesitated for a moment as she passed Li Yan's room.

I remembered that someone promised to cook for me for a month.

Why don't we call him up and do it together?

After a few seconds of thought, Hua Junshu continued forward.

This morning, she still wanted to do it herself.

Go downstairs.

As soon as she stepped into the main room, she smelled the aroma of porridge.

Stepping into the kitchen, you can see Aunt Fang busy behind the dining table.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Ms. Fang turned around.

"Oh, Shushu's up! Dinner's almost ready. Sit down and wait a bit."

Hua Junshu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that someone had said the same thing to him in the morning a long time ago.

She quickly came to her senses and said, "Aunt Fang, let me help you."

The kitchen work area is large enough to comfortably accommodate two people.

Hua Junshu said as he walked inside.

A pair of clear eyes can scan the table and tell you what's in the breakfast menu.

"You want to stir-fry some pork and make a side of shredded potatoes, right? I can."

Before Ms. Fang could refuse, she had already skillfully and efficiently started the fire in the pot.

While the pan is still hot, I picked up the peeled potatoes and started chopping them quickly.

Ms. Fang is frying dough sticks, which she found in the refrigerator as semi-finished products.

Similarly, there are some other semi-finished breakfast products.

They were all purchased but not yet opened.

Ms. Fang immediately realized that the kids were just lazy, or that they bought it just to eat.

So I made a little of everything.

Hearing what Hua Junshu said.

She had already turned around, intending to refuse.

Then I saw Hua Junshu's nimble movements.

A potato is smoothly transformed into a uniform thin slice in her hands, and then cut into shreds.

"Da da da!"

The sound of the knife blade striking the cutting board was like the clatter of horses' hooves. The rhythm was brisk and light, pleasing to the eye.

Ms. Fang was taken aback; she knew that Xiao Hua could cook.

After all, the first time I met Hua Junshu, she was cooking in her home kitchen.

But I never expected this to happen!

The simpler the design, the more skill level is revealed.

Ms. Fang asked herself if she could cut so smoothly.

She then praised:

"Shushu's knife skills are amazing, be careful."

After giving her instructions, she continued frying things while keeping an eye on the steamer next to her.

Cooking for one person can be a bit boring sometimes, but it's different when there are two people.

Hearing the chopping sounds stop and the sizzling of seasonings being added to the pan, Ms. Fang asked:

"Shushu, do you get up this early every day to make breakfast?!"

"Getting up this early every day." Hua Junshu said while skillfully stir-frying shredded potatoes, before she could finish her sentence.

Then Aunt Fang said in a slightly angry tone:
"What's wrong with Li Yan? How can he make you get up so early every day to make breakfast? You should stay in your senior year of high school. Isn't this just ruining your life?!"

"Shushu, don't be polite with him. Just refuse him if you need to. Auntie will back you up."

Ms. Fang felt even more angry when she remembered the maid outfit that Hua Junshu wore last night.

"Seriously! What kind of talk is this? What do they take you for! It's infuriating!"

Ms. Fang's words poured out like a machine gun, and Hua Junshu was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. He felt a warmth in his heart and immediately explained.

"No, Auntie, I don't cook every morning."

"Um?"

Hua Junshu smiled and said, "Getting up early is my personal habit. Most of the time I buy breakfast outside."

"Sometimes I cook because I want to; cooking is a hobby."

"Li Yan sometimes makes it too, and it's quite delicious."

"Oh haha, is that so? That's great."

Ms. Fang nodded, and her anger immediately subsided.

At this moment, Hua Junshu had also finished stir-frying the shredded potatoes.

Ms. Fang glanced at it; it was golden and shiny, garnished with a few strips of green pepper.

It looks delicious.

"Shushu, your cooking is amazing! Even better than Auntie's!"

"No, not at all." Hua Junshu smiled.

After cooking the two dishes, Ms. Fang also fried a plate of youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks).

He then said to Hua Junshu, "Shushu, go eat first. Don't wait for them or me. Your Uncle Li has gone out for a walk."

Hua Junshu nodded and brought all the different kinds of breakfast to the table.

Just then, Li Yan came down as well.

"Good morning," Hua Junshu greeted.

Li Yan also greeted him, "Good morning. Why did you suddenly remember to tell me it's morning today?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ms. Fang's scolding came from the kitchen.

“I told you earlier and you weren’t happy about it, even though Shushu didn’t tell me.”

Hua Junshu was taken aback, then turned around abruptly, wanting to open his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She looked quite cute. Li Yan admired her closely for a moment, then raised his phone and snapped a picture.

Hua Junshu rolled his eyes and sat down to eat quietly.

Not long after, Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu came down one after the other. As if they had agreed beforehand, they greeted each other with a "Good morning."

Then, without prior arrangement, they all overlooked Ms. Fang, who was still busy in the kitchen.

As Li Yan responded, he noticed that his senior sister breathed a sigh of relief.

I found it inexplicably funny.

Hua Junshu noticed that someone had surrendered and gave that person a rare, slight glare.

However, the person didn't care at all, but instead looked at him with admiration, his eyes clearly saying 'Give me another glare.'

Hua Junshu remained silent.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian, having served themselves porridge, sat down without noticing anything amiss.

Jiang Yingzhu only knew how to eat when she saw the stir-fried pork.

Mei Mengqian was still savoring the feeling of greeting him that morning.

They didn't usually have this habit in the morning.

The main problem is that no one has started it.

Zhu Zhu, the best person to initiate a group, doesn't care about these details at all.

She herself felt embarrassed.

The senior student didn't seem to have that intention either; I don't know why.

I never expected that this would start this morning.

Mei Mengqian decided to continue the little spark.

Just as the three of them finished eating, Ms. Fang also finished her work and sat down.

I asked Li Yan what time he went to school.

"It's still early, there's still a quarter of an hour, no rush."

Ms. Fang nodded and then asked, "What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll go buy it."

"Make some eight-treasure rice," Li Yan said. He had been eating carbohydrates and salty food all morning, and suddenly he wanted something sweet.

Ideally, it should be something you can't eat often.

Ms. Fang glanced at her son, her eyes full of disdain.

The girl hasn't even said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?
"Eight Treasure Rice, you look just like eight treasure rice."

"Kuku!" Jiang Yingzhu laughed out loud, then said:
"Aunt Fang, I want to eat stir-fried beef with yellow peppers."

Jiang Yingzhu randomly picked one that looked unusual.

Because she knew that even if she didn't order, Aunt Fang would still prepare a very lavish lunch.

She winked at Mengmeng and her senior.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian said, "I also want to eat eight-treasure rice. It's been so long since I've had it. The last time was when I was a child, when I went to someone else's house for a banquet."

She looked at Ms. Fang with a serious expression, as if to say that it wasn't for Li Yan's sake.

Mei Mengqian wasn't lying; she really wanted to eat it, and it had been a long time since she'd had eight-treasure rice.

Since her parents divorced, she has basically stopped attending banquets.

Neither of her parents were people who liked crowds.

"Okay, then let's have eight-treasure rice. Where's Shushu?"

Ms. Fang glanced at her son, her thoughts unreadable, before looking at Hua Junshu.

Hua Junshu glanced at Mengmeng, then followed Jiang Yingzhu's lead and ordered a large meat dish:

"Spicy diced chicken, please."

"Okay, okay." Ms. Fang nodded. While they were chatting, Li Yan and the other three went upstairs to get their things and set off for school.

Hua Junshu was at the very back. Before leaving, he suddenly walked up to Ms. Fang, who was eating at the dining table.

Before Ms. Fang could speak, she looked directly at Ms. Fang with her clear eyes and spoke softly.

"Good morning, Aunt Fang."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Ms. Fang paused for a moment, glanced at the now empty doorway, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"This young lady is quite serious."

On the way, Jiang Yingzhu glanced at Hua Junshu, who had caught up, and asked curiously:

"Senior, what did you say to Aunt Fang when you went back?"

Hua Junshu glanced at Li Yan, who had a mocking expression, and pursed his lips.

"I didn't say anything, just greeted them."

"Oh."

Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan's expression and sensed that things weren't so simple.

After recalling what happened this morning, I didn't think anything was wrong.

She simply gave up on thinking about it.

The four entered the school and parted ways at the school gate as usual.

As soon as Li Yan and his two companions entered the classroom, they felt it was noisy and bustling, even more so than usual.

As I sat back down, I heard the conversations of the people around me.

"Qingya, which of your parents will be attending the parent-teacher conference?"

"My mom, Bingbing, where are you?"

"Me too."

Yu Bing nodded, and when she saw Li Yan and the other two arrive, she asked the same question.

"Li Yan, who will be attending your parent-teacher conference?"

"all come."

"what?"

"His mother came to help me attend the parent-teacher conference."

Jiang Yingzhu turned around and looked at Guo Cailing, who seemed a little confused.

"Cailing, who's coming to your house?"

"Mother."

"Oh, my good daughter!" Jiang Yingzhu smiled and reached out to pat Guo Cailing's head.

Mei Mengqian secretly rolled her eyes; she could now easily see through Zhu Zhu's trap.

Guo Cailing immediately pouted, "Zhuzhu, you're being naughty!"

"Here, Mom will give you milk tea."

Jiang Yingzhu took out the milk tea she had bought on the way, saying, "I'll give you the first sip, it's good for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Cailing hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her cravings prevailed.

He betrayed his own mother.

Yang Xiong, who had inquired about information from the parents, returned to his seat in the back row.

He looked at Zhu Gelin.

"Old Zhu, do you think I still have a chance?!"

"Didn't you say you stopped caring about her a long time ago?"

"I don't care."

"But I haven't said who she is yet."
