I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 33 hides a world

The message had barely been sent when the phone rang. As soon as Li Yan answered, Jiang Yingzhu excitedly said:

"Let's go to Jiangcheng for fun, then check out your shop, and have a nice meal tonight,"

"Is Huangcheng no longer a place for you?"

"You! Hmph, just tell me if you're going or not. I've already made plans with Mengmeng."

"So, what about tonight? Shall we get a hotel room?" Li Yan asked, sensing that Jiang Yingzhu had already planned everything and was just waiting for him to ask.

Sure enough, the words came through almost without hesitation.

"Pah! You think you can book a room at our hotel? Dream on!"

"I'll stay at Mengmeng's place tonight. She has a place to stay in Jiangcheng, so there's no need to worry."

Li Yan nodded. "Since you've arranged everything, I can only obey."

"That's more like it. Remember to book tickets for the Yellow Crane Tower; we want to go check it out."

"I know, I know."

Li Yan vaguely heard Mei Mengqian trying to persuade him, saying that the place wasn't fun.

But Jiang Yingzhu was clearly determined to see the ancient building.

He went there in his previous life, which is good.

Because if anyone asks about it later, or expresses their opinion, he can say:
"There's nothing worth going to. The Yellow Crane Tower is a crappy place, and even the people there don't seem as old as me."

But since Xiao Qingmei wants to go, I'll go with her.

They'll behave after seeing it once.

Li Yan asked Lao Li for a shop location near Jiangda University, added it to his favorites on Fetion, and then turned off his phone to rest.

······
station
Looking at the dense crowd in the waiting hall, Mei Mengqian was clearly a little nervous. Her steps unconsciously stiffened, as if no place was right for her.

It was like being led around by a human-machine interface.

"Don't be nervous. How about we go buy some water? The train will depart in half an hour and we'll be checking tickets."

Li Yan handed her the small bag that had passed through security.

Seeing her flustered look reminded me of my first time taking a train.

Although her heart was filled with endless worries, she still had to maintain a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.

But checking a train number dozens of times revealed his inner anxiety.

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, Mei Mengqian nodded subconsciously and slung her little crocodile bag over her shoulder.

Her obedient and well-behaved manner gave Li Yan the feeling of a father with his daughter.

"Zhuzhu, are you going or not?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yingzhu heard someone call her and subconsciously looked up, revealing two dark circles under her eyes.

"what?"

She was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep at all; she was exhausted and was on standby the whole way.

"Go buy water."

"No, you can take it for me. I'll go find a place to sit for a while."

Jiang Yingzhu yawned widely and found their ticket gate.

She casually sat down on a clean-looking chair and dozed off.

On the other side, Li Yan and his companion arrived at the supermarket inside the station.

"What would you like to drink, Zhuzhu?"

"You take it first, I'll go to the tea shop next door and get her an iced Americano."

So Li Yan saw her quickly pick out two bottles of orange juice, bring them over, and then belatedly ask:
"Do you want some?"

"drink!"

Hearing that he liked it made me feel more at ease, and a smile unconsciously appeared on my lips.

After shopping, the tension in my heart eased considerably, and the thought of him offering to sell water brought me even more warmth.

'They're quite thoughtful.'

After paying the bill, Mei Mengqian saw that Li Yan was already at the tea shop, so she followed him closely.

It's as if they're afraid of getting lost!
After Li Yan came out, she immediately handed him a bottle of orange juice.

Li Yan took it, instinctively twisted it open, and handed it to her.

Mei Mengqian blinked and handed him the other bottle.

Li Yan took it and suddenly remembered his past life.

He and Mei Mengqian were classmates for a period of time, and during that time she would buy a bottle of orange juice every day.

Maybe the girl just can't open the bottle cap and always asks him to help her get it.

The next day, Li Yan was distracted in class and was scolded by the teacher for half the class period.

It's embarrassing for a young person to be treated like this.

So after class, he slumped over his desk. Just as everyone was easing the awkwardness, his deskmate, Mei Mengqian, gave him a bottle of orange juice and later added him on QQ. Perhaps it was this special comfort from his deskmate...
When I was a student, I always felt that drinking the same beverage as my crush would bring us closer.

So I started buying it often after that.

Looking back on it years later, it seems pretty stupid.

I really want to travel back in time and slap myself. What the hell were you doing secretly buying it? You even gave someone else a bottle!

You'll get to know each other after a while.

But perhaps in his own eyes at the time, he was the one who was a fool.

"what happened?"

The question pulled Li Yan out of his reverie. He shook his head. "It's nothing, let's go."

The past life is the past life; the world is different now, so it's better for him not to dwell on it.

When Li Yan found Jiang Yingzhu, he saw her leaning back in her seat with a serene expression, her eyes open, staring intently at the overhead light.

"Zhuzhu doesn't seem sleepy anymore," Mei Mengqian said in surprise.

“Impossible,” Li Yan said as he approached Jiang Yingzhu and placed a hand over her eyes.

As if closing the eyes of a dead person, she gently lowered herself down, and then Jiang Yingzhu closed her eyes.

When Mei Mengqian got closer, she could still hear snoring.

"She was sleeping with her eyes open?"

"That's right, be careful when you sleep at night, lock the door, she might kill you in her sleep."

"Bang!" A white fist landed on Jiang Yingzhu's shoulder, and she groggily opened her eyes.

"Li Yan, you're talking about me behind my back again."

Li Yan remained unmoved and turned to Mei Mengqian earnestly, saying:

"See, she's appeared, isn't she? She's sleepwalking now."

"Oh." Mei Mengqian nodded, as if she believed her.

"Get lost! Mengmeng, don't listen to his nonsense."

Jiang Yingzhu shoved Li Yan, her face stern, "Where's my drink?"

"Give."

"Milk tea?!" Jiang Yingzhu looked at the cup, not quite sure.

"Iced Americano".

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

A second later, Li Yan took out a tissue and wiped his face.

The two girls in front of her were suppressing their laughter. Jiang Yingzhu said, "It's not my fault. It was too tough. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"It's okay, you finish it."

After supervising Jiang Yingzhu to finish her coffee, it was time for the three of them to board the bus to Jiangcheng.

"Ugh, it smells awful. Let's take Didi next time."

Jiang Yingzhu hadn't ridden on a long-distance bus in a long time. The smell of gasoline and various other unknown odors made her feel like vomiting for a moment.

Behind her, Mei Mengqian's face was also scrunched up. Although she travels a lot, she usually travels by high-speed rail, airplane, or private car, and she has never experienced this kind of environment.

Jiang Yingzhu's voice was a bit loud, and many people in the car glanced at her, but seeing the three children, they didn't pay any attention to her.

Li Yan followed behind the two, a faint light flashing on his fingers as he released spiritual power, which transformed into a protective shield that enveloped the three of them, isolating them from each other's scent.

"Hey! It's healed!"

Jiang Yingzhu felt a little strange, and Mei Mengqian's face relaxed, but when the three of them sat in the front and back seats, she clearly saw that some uncles and aunts looked unwell.

Clearly, the strange smell inside their car hadn't disappeared. They weren't unaware of it; they had simply gotten used to it or learned to tolerate it.

Li Yan smiled behind them and urged the two to hurry up.

After a few people were seated, the bus was full and departed.

With Li Yan's spiritual energy shield protecting them, neither of them experienced motion sickness or discomfort.

I fell asleep quickly.

Seeing this, Li Yan took out his phone and snapped a picture, capturing the sleeping faces of the two girls on the inside of the car and the scenery outside the window.

Jiang Yingzhu, on the innermost side, leaned on Mei Mengqian's shoulder, her short hair casually falling, her eyebrows and eyes softening. Sunlight shone on her high, straight nose, making her face appear shady and evocative, like a Western goddess lost in thought.

Of course, if she doesn't drool.

Perhaps because Jiang Yingzhu was leaning against her, Mei Mengqian, who was originally sitting upright against the backrest with her head down and dozing off, gradually leaned against Li Yan's shoulder.

Summer clothes are already light, and snow-white arms that seem to glow are pressed against her.

Li Yan first felt a slight chill, then his arm was covered by warmth.
Then the girl's well-defined ridgeline rolled up, and the oppressive feeling made his body stiffen.

That loose white T-shirt, which usually goes unnoticed, seemed to hold a whole world inside.

Looking at the half of the girl's face covered by her long hair, her soft face was like a peeled egg, incredibly moist, making one want to pinch it.
