I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 426 Stealing Food in Front of Others
Ye Hui said casually, "But it's not aimed at you, it's aimed at that casino."

Ye Qiushan could tell that his daughter was not interested in an arranged marriage.

"What a small world."

"Yes." Mei Mengqian nodded, looking a little upset. "Mom said something came up and she can't have dinner with us."

Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sometimes they felt that Ye Qian was quite conflicted.

It's clear that he cares about Mei Mengqian in every way.

But this concern is sometimes absent, or very brief.

Li Yan recalled the conversation he overheard between his classmate and her mother at noon.

Thoughtful.

He didn't say anything, but glanced at Mengmeng.

“It’s okay that your mom is gone, my mom is still here. Mengmeng, if you don’t mind, my mom will be your mom from now on.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu kicked him, "What are you saying? Don't go crazy."

“I’m telling the truth, Jiang Yingzhu, don’t worry, my mom can be your mom too.”

"Your mother, your mother, your mother!" Jiang Yingzhu swung her fist and chased after Li Yan, punching him repeatedly.

Her little face was flushed, just like Mengmeng's at that moment.

Li Yan took a stroll around Jiang Yingzhu, then returned to the badminton court and found that Mengmeng was in a much better mood.

So he took out his phone and sent a message in Feiyun Xiaolou's group chat.

Yan: "Old Li and the others were dragged out drinking by Ye Hui's dad, so we'll eat dinner by ourselves."

Hua Junshu felt his phone vibrate and glanced at the teacher on the podium.

She naturally took out her phone and started playing with it in class.

Tree: Shall we eat at home? There are still a lot of leftovers from lunch.

Bamboo: I think so too.

Yan: That's all. Qinbao ate the little bit left.
The three girls: (°Д°)
Zhu: Li Yan, you can't do this! Qin Bao isn't a Pekingese, how can you give her leftovers?

Yan: I think she's quite happy, and DouDou is happy too.

Hua Junshu knew that Dou Dou was the name of the Pekingese dog that Qin Bao raised.

This dog likes to pick up wild cat or human scraps in the fields.

Every time, Zhou Qinqin would complain that he ate shit again.

She continued typing.

Hua: Where should we eat?

During their evening break, Jiang Yingzhu, Mei Mengqian, Hua Junshu, and Li Yan went to a braised chicken restaurant on the front street.

“Oh, this is it? I thought it was something else,” Mei Mengqian said.

Jiang Yingzhu shook her finger. "Mengmeng, you don't understand. This braised chicken restaurant is different. It's newly opened. I only found out when I went online at noon."

"Oh." Mei Mengqian nodded. The internet cafe near the school was located near the intersection of Qianjie Street and Huancheng Avenue.

It's not far to walk there, but you can observe most of the business situation on the front street along the way.

Because the closer you are to Feiyun Mountain, the fewer customers you get, and the fewer shops you open.

"Is it delicious?" Hua Junshu asked.

"I don't know, but I brought you guys along anyway."

The four of them went into the store, and Jiang Yingzhu went to the counter to order.

Li Yan and the other two found a seat and sat down.

At the four-person table, Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan's seat and chose to sit next to him.

Seeing this, Hua Junshu naturally landed opposite Li Yan.

Mei Mengqian put her hands on either side, seeing that her senior couldn't see her.

So he secretly reached out and touched Li Yan.

She held Li Yan's hand and then stopped moving, suppressing her emotions and not showing any unusual behavior.

Li Yan gave her a strange look. No, no, his mother-in-law, Aunt Ye Qian's words at noon had an effect.

My little classmate wants to get his mom a smart home appliance as soon as possible!

But then Mei Mengqian mouthed two words: "Find material."

Li Yan clearly saw the process of her face turning red with nervousness, which she then forcibly suppressed.

Remembering the content in Mengmeng's book, when the male lead visits the set, he might want to get intimate with the female lead in the backstage dressing room.

The manager in the dressing room is the male lead's sister; thinking about it that way is quite exciting.

But Mengmeng has no experience, so thinking about it this way, it really is a case of drawing inspiration from others!?
Li Yan glanced at his deskmate, thinking about what he could do if he added something extra.

Forget it, I doubt my deskmate could handle it.

God knows when my good deskmate started to mentally prepare himself.

Li Yan glanced at his senior, while Hua Junshu shifted his gaze, seemingly naturally landing on Zhu Zhu who was approaching.

Jiang Yingzhu ordered two large portions of braised chicken, four bowls of rice, and four bottles of soda, and then found the three of them.

She glanced at the remaining seats, then looked at someone, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, "Don't you know to wait for me?"

Jiang Yingzhu didn't pay much attention to the seating arrangement. After sitting down in the empty seat, she looked around.

The decor is actually quite ordinary, but it's much better than other shops that just have cement walls or painted walls.

This instantly elevated the status of the small shops around the school.

She glanced at the price list again; the prices were quite high-end.

Small portion is 16, large portion is 26.

They ordered a multi-person set meal, two large portions, for fifty-two yuan.

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at it again.

The price list prominently displays the following套餐 (set meals):

Single-person set meal: Small portion of braised chicken 16 yuan

Two-person set meal: Small portion of braised chicken * 2 32 yuan

Multi-person set meal: Large braised chicken * 2 52 yuan

When I came in, I was so focused on ordering that I subconsciously ordered a set meal for multiple people.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't notice any of this.

Looking at it now, it suddenly feels strange.

Then, she burst out laughing.

"Haha, Mengmeng, seniors, look at the menu! That set meal is hilarious!"

Mei Mengqian was startled and quickly let go of his hand, sitting up straight with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Hua Junshu glanced at it and nodded, saying it was very funny.

Jiang Yingzhu said with dissatisfaction, "Senior, you didn't even turn your head," and then asked Mengmeng, "What do you think?"

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu looked over, first puzzled, then speechless, and both pursed their lips.

We're still at their restaurant, and the braised chicken hasn't even arrived yet. What if they add something extra when we laugh now?

Jiang Yingzhu felt bored when she saw that the two of them weren't having fun with her.

I thought about it, took a picture, and posted it on my social media.

Time is money, and two inches of time are worth two inches of money.

After posting it, I saw a bunch of likes and comments, and a long string of "hahahaha".

Jiang Yingzhu immediately felt relieved. Then, her gaze swept over the three of them, and she suddenly noticed that Mengmeng's face was a little red.

What happened?
At that moment, Li Yan said:

"If you do this, you'll ruin their business. They could have just made a quick buck and left, but now they won't be able to make any money at all."

Jiang Yingzhu rolled her eyes. "A single-person set meal here costs sixteen yuan. I doubt many people eat here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two large plates of braised chicken were served.

Jiang Yingzhu had her back to the kitchen and knew nothing about it, so she was momentarily embarrassed.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu suppressed their laughter.

Mei Mengqian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that it was fortunate that Li Yan was there, otherwise they would have been discovered just now.

Jiang Yingzhu glared at Li Yan. This guy must be doing it on purpose!
She quickly tried to justify herself.

"But that's not necessarily true. Braised chicken is quite popular, and the place is nicely decorated, so there will definitely be people who like to come here."

The proprietress placed the braised chicken and rice from the plates in front of the four people, and laughed upon hearing this.

"Thank you for your kind words, beautiful lady."

Li Yan shook his head. His little darling was really willing to give up all her pride for a little bit of face.

Jiang Yingzhu immediately understood what he meant, snorted, moved her foot under the table, and kicked him.

Hua Junshu glanced at Zhuzhu, silently withdrew his foot, and then glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan placed his hands on the table while playing on his phone to prove his innocence.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and two girls who looked like they were in their first year of high school walked in.

They glanced at the price list at first glance, and then simultaneously showed expressions of hesitation.

Just as they were hesitating and about to leave, the boss asked with a smile:
"What would you two lovely ladies like to eat?"

Upon hearing this, the two first-year high school girls seemed to be frozen in place.

One of the girls, who was about to leave, immediately stopped, hesitating. She said:

"Then, I'll have a braised chicken, please."

She paused, then added, "A large portion, two bowls of rice."

After saying that, she glanced at her friend and whispered, "We'll split it equally."

My friend nodded, secretly thinking that her best friend was indeed clever.

We almost ended up spending more money.

The owner then asked if we wanted to add some side dishes and drinks.

The two girls shook their heads when they saw that a string of mushrooms cost three yuan.

Three yuan is enough to buy shiitake mushrooms at the supermarket, enough to cook a dish.

Mei Mengqian glanced at them, feeling a sense of empathy.

If I were a high school freshman eating here alone, I'm sure the owner would call me and I wouldn't leave.

"I feel this restaurant can still stay open. It's quite cost-effective for two people to share a large portion."

Hua Junshu nodded in agreement, but then immediately shook his head.

"I doubt it. Nobody wants to eat the same thing every day."

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian thought about it and agreed.

After all, even when the four of them eat together, they often order different things.

This way you can eat different things.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu noticed that Li Yan hadn't said much.

A bad feeling immediately arose in my heart.

Looking down, I saw that the chicken in the plate was almost gone!

"Li Yan! You ate it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I ate it in front of you."

Mei Mengqian pointed at Li Yan and said, "Zhuzhu, he ate right in front of us."

Li Yan glanced at her.

Huh~
Woman, your name is Ruthless.

Use it and then throw it away?

"Okay, okay," Li Yan said, putting one hand down on the table and pinching Mengmeng's leg.

Mei Mengqian tensed up immediately, her face flushed, and she looked at Li Yan.

"My hand slipped."

Li Yan said in a low voice,

Mei Mengqian immediately rolled her eyes at him.

I thought to myself, thank goodness I wasn't seen.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu suddenly asked:
"Mengmeng, why is your face red?"

Hua Junshu picked up a shiitake mushroom, took a bite, glanced at Mengmeng, and nodded.

"really."

"what?"

Mei Mengqian panicked immediately, thinking that she should not have helped Zhuzhu.

“┭┮﹏┭┮”

She stammered, "Um... um, I..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Jiang Yingzhu asked curiously.

Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan and saw that he looked gloating.

He was immediately furious, so he decided to ignore it and pointed at Li Yan.

"Zhuzhu, Li Yan just touched my leg."

Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu immediately looked at Li Yan.
"Oh."

"."

Jiang Yingzhu glared at Li Yan. It was one thing for this guy to touch her leg every now and then during class.

He even touched Mengmeng's leg in this kind of setting.

"You pervert!"

"My hand slipped."

Let's tell Aunt Fang together!

Li Yan was startled, forgetting that Zhu Zhu could summon the administrator.

"No, how about I make you breakfast for another month?"

"Mengmeng, go tell Aunt Fang."

"Well, I can have another month's worth of lunch."

Li Yan coughed and looked at Mengmeng, his eyes implying that she should hurry up and agree.

Mei Mengqian nodded, thinking to herself, "So, self-destruction will solve everything?"
Jiang Yingzhu continued, "I'm going to tell Aunt Fang."

Li Yan glanced at her speechlessly, wondering why she was still holding onto this.

Jiang Yingzhu, of course, wouldn't let it go; she wouldn't let go of any of the old dirt that could be brought up.

"Okay, if you agree to one condition, this matter will be over."
