I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 31 Hehe~
"Mengmeng, why aren't you eating sweet potato starch noodles with shredded pork? Isn't that your favorite dish?"

Ye Qian suddenly spoke up, "Didn't your friend make this especially for you?"

One sentence silenced both of them.

Li Yan glanced at Mei Mengqian but didn't say anything.

Don't ask, it's just a coincidence.

Mei Mengqian had almost buried her chin in the bowl.

What should I do if I suddenly get betrayed by my mother?
Could Li Yan misunderstand and think that he thinks her cooking is bad?
"I've already eaten; the best food should be saved for last."

She whispered something, and then she had no idea what anyone said next. She just turned into a rice-eating machine, eating the food in front of her without paying attention.

After the meal, Jiang Yingzhu took the two of them to visit her house.

Actually, Ye Qian already knew pretty much everything after finishing her meal.

Being able to cook a meal independently reveals a lot about the skills involved.

Moreover, she learned about the couple's family situation during the meal, so she felt at ease about her daughter living with Jiang Yingzhu.

"Zhuzhu, your room is very nice. I have no objection to Mengmeng staying here. I believe that with such excellent partners as you and Li Yan by her side, she will become even better."

After walking around Jiang Yingzhu's house, Ye Qian looked at her daughter.

"Mengmeng, what do you think? Should we move in this afternoon?"

Ye Qian is a capable and even somewhat decisive person. After learning that her nephew, whom her parents raised, had actually pushed open her daughter's door in the middle of the night, she was not at all at ease!
Especially after having a long talk with my parents, but without achieving anything!
“I can do it,” Mei Mengqian said.

"We'll help!!" Jiang Yingzhu said excitedly. She had never helped anyone move before, and she loved this new experience!

"no need!!"

Mei Mengqian quickly shook her head in refusal, "I don't have much stuff!"

She was actually afraid that her address would be discovered and Li Yan would become aware of it.

She always felt unprepared to acknowledge him as a pen pal.

Moreover, the current situation is quite interesting.

"Mengmeng, is there something you're hiding?" Jiang Yingzhu noticed something was wrong and leaned closer to ask.

"No!!"

"Wow, that's a pretty strong reaction. You've never been this loud before."

Mei Mengqian kept a straight face and refused to admit it, while Jiang Yingzhu's eyes darted around.

"How about this, if Li Yan doesn't go, I will go instead?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian immediately wanted to agree, but then she realized what she was doing.

Wouldn't that make it even more suspicious?
"I have nothing to hide. If you want to go, then go ahead."

"Hehe~"

Jiang Yingzhu let out a strange cry, and then her friends pinched her.

······
The residential area near the stadium.

Upon arriving here, Li Yan suddenly realized why he had met her here last time.

The four entered a neighborhood that was neither new nor old, and stopped in front of the entrance on the first floor of one of the buildings.

Following Mei Mengqian and Aunt Ye, we greeted the two elderly people.

The two elderly people looked very healthy, but their temperament was different from Ye Qian's or even Mei Mengqian's.

To Li Yan, it's rather ordinary.

However, he seemed to have seen this old man before.

Li Yan glanced at it a few more times and suddenly remembered that it was the giant loop he had seen during his morning run that day.

It seems to have attracted quite a few elderly women.

"Hey, Mengmeng, where is that brat you mentioned?"

"They haven't started their holiday yet."

"Oh, I also brought a gift."

Upon hearing this, Grandma, who was offering snacks, quickly waved her hand.

"They're all Xiaomeng's classmates and friends, why bring a gift?"

"Grandma, these are practice questions for your grandson, so he can get good grades." Jiang Yingzhu raised her voice and held up a whole set of new observation materials in her hand.

"Oh? Oh! This is good, this is good, I'll accept it on his behalf, the little classmate is really nice."

Jiang Yingzhu grinned foolishly and secretly raised her eyebrows at Mei Mengqian and Li Yan.

Mei Mengqian felt a warmth in her heart. She had only mentioned in a casual conversation that having a naughty child at home was annoying.

I never expected that Zhuzhu would remember it all this time.

Li Yan rubbed his forehead. "Jiang Yingzhu, as expected of you having the character 'bamboo' in your name, you've really mastered the art of bamboo shoots!"

The three of them sat in the living room for a while, and not wanting Ye Qian to tidy up her things alone, they immediately helped to organize Mei Mengqian's room.

However, this made things a bit restrictive for Li Yan, as it involved some of the girls' private areas.

For example, he can't even get too close to the wardrobe.

Just kidding, his mom lives nearby.

However, Mei Mengqian's room was not the girly pink he had expected.

The walls are covered with light blue wallpaper that looks new, as if it was recently put up. There are also some similar-style decorations on the walls.

The overall decor is simple and refreshing, with books everywhere. Just like Jiang Yingzhu exclaimed as soon as she entered, "Wow, Mengmeng, you have so many books!"

Li Yan is currently compiling these materials, from the Twenty-Four Histories to the Analects and Mencius, among other Chinese classical classics.

In modern times, there are classic works such as "Border Town" and "Ordinary World," as well as some foreign classics that Li Yan had never seen in his previous life.

"Mengmeng, you've read all these books?" Li Yan turned to look at Mei Mengqian.

"No."

This answer surprised Li Yan, and then he saw her bite her lip and say:
"Many of them were bought on impulse. After buying them, I would just flip through them and then stop looking at them if I wasn't interested. It would be a shame to throw them away."

"I thought maybe I'd become interested in it someday, so I kept it."

She pointed to the bookcase by the window, which was as big as a wardrobe, "Those are the ones I've read."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow. "That's still a lot."

"It's alright. I mainly like these things."

She paused, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and casually pulled out a book, pointing to the edition number, "Look, these are all first editions, very valuable, some of them are no longer available."

Li Yan had only a superficial understanding of the licensing system, but he could still sense the significance of it.

He nodded, and gained a deeper understanding of it.

It turns out that besides her love of literature, she also has a collecting obsession.

Every book was spotless, reminding me of her conversation with Jiang Yingzhu about birthdays earlier.

Li Yan packed the books into a box and nodded to himself.

Virgo, that's normal.

Just as he had almost finished tidying up the bookshelf, he was about to tidy up the items on the desk.

Suddenly, Mei Mengqian ran over.

"Here... I'll take care of this."

"Um?!"

There is a secret!
Instantly, the way Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu looked at them changed.

Li Yan scanned the desk with his divine sense but found nothing unusual. Instead, he was startled by the girl in front of the desk, which made his Dao heart unstable.

How come I can't usually tell?

He silently prayed to Buddha, realizing it was truly unintentional.

He nodded and walked away.

"call--"

Mei Mengqian had just breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Yingzhu quietly walked over.

"Hehe, let me guess, are there any weird toys here?"

"No, there's a diary." Afraid that she would continue to guess, Mei Mengqian immediately chose to sacrifice her diary.

“Diary, Mengmeng, you’re not serious.” Jiang Yingzhu hugged her flat chest. “No serious person writes a diary.”

"Aren't you going to look?" Mei Mengqian pretended to put the diary away.

"Hey, hey, you said it yourself, I'll definitely read it. A diary is meant to be read by others, isn't it?"

Mei Mengqian nodded, realizing she hadn't written her thoughts down, and took it out without hesitation.

Then, I carefully put the metal box under the diary into my backpack.

Li Yan, who had just returned from washing his face in the restroom, blinked when he saw this scene.

For holding candy?

Or is it a gift for the neighbors when they move into their new house?!

"Hey, Mengmeng, is this box a gift?" Jiang Yingzhu's voice rang out.

Li Yan rolled his eyes. This shameless guy.

Mei Mengqian was startled and quickly denied it, making up a story: "No, no, I like stamps, there are stamps in here."

"Cut~"

After packing her things, Ye Qian called Lalamove to help carry all the boxes downstairs.

When they arrived at Jiang Yingzhu's house, Ye Qian instructed her to help Mei Mengqian tidy up the house.

There was nothing Li Yan could participate in throughout the entire process.

That evening, Ye Qian treated everyone to a big meal, after which Li Yan went home.

Thinking about moving books today, Li Yan found it difficult to lift them. He then tried to use a body-refining technique called Yi Jin Jing.

Unlike when cultivating spiritual energy and divine sense, when cultivating physical body under the system's management, Li Yan could clearly feel his internal organs, limbs, and bones burning like fire!

The ironing sensation was like soaking in a hot spring, and he soon felt his whole body soaked.

Just a few minutes remained in the half-hour hosting session when the system suddenly sent a notification.

[Ding! Host energy deficiency detected. Intelligent system will provide you with a large-scale energy booster.]

Li Yan was taken aback, thinking that the system was about to control him to make free purchases again.

I thought to myself, thankfully it was only a few minutes, and the daycare ended after I went downstairs.

However, the next second, he suddenly realized that he was moving closer to the window!

What do you mean?
System, are you trying to fight gods and demons?!
