I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 88 Is this what they mean by "love conquers all"?

Listening to the conversation that followed, Li Yan was surprised to find that there was such a conflict between the two class leaders.

However, he had no intention of playing matchmaker. After explaining the problem to Yang Xiong, he flipped through the book, and that was the end of evening self-study.

Back home, Li Yan plunged into his bedroom and practiced alchemy again, calling on Li Hua from next door to come and test the medicine.

While taking the medicine internally, he also tried applying a layer of the medicine to Li Hua's face externally.

"Brother Li Yan, why did you put food on my face?"

"Because it's meant to be applied to the face."

"Ah, it's not for food!?"

"It's food. Does your mother put cucumbers on her face? It's the same as that."

"Oh~~"

To prevent the child from smearing the medicine on his face with his hands and then ingesting it, Li Yan kept a close eye on him for half an hour.

After the medicine was almost absorbed, I reached out and wiped it away.

Li Yan noticed that Li Hua's previously somewhat pockmarked face had regained its smoothness and even appeared a bit fairer.
The pockmarks just disappeared this morning, and now there are no blackheads at all.

'The effect is quite strong; it can be sold in multiple portions. We're unsure if there will be a rebound effect; we'll have to wait and see.'

Having made up his mind, Li Yan decided to send the child home.

The next morning, before going to school, Li Yan used his divine sense to check Li Hua's condition and found nothing abnormal.

As for the parents' exclamations and astonishment, they are not worth mentioning.

Isn't this the proper thing to do?
Li Yan wasn't worried about Li Hua leaking secrets; sending a child to a safe place was reliable in certain situations.

Once they knew the secret had been leaked, they wouldn't have anything to eat.

Even if Li Hua's parents eventually find out, Li Yan will have a reason to deal with it.

After all, Li Hua's performance has been positive.

After breakfast, Jiang Yingzhu slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and, adopting the demeanor of the head of the household she had imagined, said:
"Today, we won't ride our bikes. We'll take the bus, and we can even memorize vocabulary on the way."

"Seriously, Jiang Yingzhu? It's just a monthly exam, do you really need to be this strict?" Li Yan said.

"Hmph, what do you know? This is called having the right attitude!"

Jiang Yingzhu patted Mei Mengqian on the shoulder. "Let's vote by raising our hands. Raise your hand if you agree to take the bus."

brush!
Instantly, both little hands were raised.

Li Yan shrugged. "Then I suggest you take a taxi to school. It's quiet, safe, and fast, saving you time."

“What Xiao Li said is very true, then let’s take a taxi.” Jiang Yingzhu humbly accepted the advice.

"Six, you can talk to your dad there and ask him to hire a driver to pick you up and drop you off every day."

"That's too high-profile. I just want to interact with everyone as an ordinary person," Jiang Yingzhu said.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's eyes widened in surprise, thinking that those words would be more appropriate for me.

······
Tuesday's classes proceeded as usual, but far fewer people went out during breaks, and most students were engrossed in their studies in the classrooms.

However, compared to the nervous students, the teachers didn't pay much attention to this diagnostic monthly exam.

At most, I'll mention it briefly; it's not worth taking up class time to emphasize.

The course schedule proceeded as usual; reviewing was the students' responsibility.

After the last class in the afternoon, class monitor Ye Hui walked up to the podium and announced loudly:

"Class leaders, don't rush off. Set up the exam room and put up the exam numbers."

"Also, everyone, please tidy up your desks. If there's not enough space, you can put them on the bookshelves at the back."

There is a two-meter-high aluminum alloy bookshelf at the back of the classroom, divided into squares for storing items.

Apart from the top floor which houses the classroom library left by the previous students, most of the buildings are unused.

Mei Mengqian turned to look at Li Yan.

"I brought you food, what would you like to eat?"

"Just bring me a portion of whatever you're eating."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian suddenly remembered that Zhuzhu was also a class leader and might have a job.

She walked to Class 8 and found that it was indeed the case. Jiang Yingzhu even waved to her when she saw her.

"Mengmeng, you eat by yourself. Just bring me a portion of whatever you want to eat, hehe."

“They all say the same thing.” Mei Mengqian glanced at her face, which was covered in chalk dust.

"Everything is the same?"

"You and Li Yan," Mei Mengqian said, handing her a wet wipe before leaving.

Jiang Yingzhu was completely baffled. "What?!"

But Mei Mengqian, who had walked away, did not respond, and she was a little worried.

What to eat next is always a difficult question to answer.

She wandered around the streets outside the school and saw a newly opened braised chicken restaurant, so she went in.

Mei Mengqian is very attractive because of her looks and temperament.

However, her aloof aura naturally drives away the vast majority of people.

Mei Mengqian went to the order counter and said, "Three servings of braised chicken with rice."

"Okay, take it or leave it?" the cashier said.

"what?"

Mei Mengqian was taken aback. She had originally planned to eat there, as she felt the classroom was no longer a suitable place to eat.

"Pack or take away?"

"Eat one portion here, and take two to go." The cashier was taken aback, then smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, it's forty-five in total."

Mei Mengqian nodded, paid, and found an empty table to sit down.

Soon after, her braised chicken arrived in a small bowl, no bigger than the palm of your hand, with not much in it.

She didn't eat immediately, but ran to the front desk and said:
"Change the remaining two portions to larger ones."

"Ok."

"Give me another bottle of soy milk, a sausage, and two dried tofu."

The waiter nodded and quickly packed it for her.

Mei Mengqian paid the difference, took her things back to her seat, and saw a boy and a girl sitting opposite her. They looked sweet and affectionate, and were probably a couple.

She paused, walked over, and had just sat down when she heard the boy say:

"Hey, classmate, which class are you in?"

Mei Mengqian glanced at him but didn't say anything.

His girlfriend immediately became unhappy and pinched the boy.

Then came a barrage of mushy words, which gave Mei Mengqian goosebumps.

They were openly and blatantly displaying their affection, as if trying to drive Mei Mengqian away from the table.

They always did this, easily taking over a table by themselves.

Most students simply can't stand this kind of showing off.

Mei Mengqian just kept her head down and ate without saying a word.

The dishes across the table arrived quickly, and Mei Mengqian noticed that the two of them were actually eating a small portion of braised chicken and had even asked the staff for some pickled vegetables.

"Lingling, open your mouth, I'll feed you, ah~"

"Mmm~, thank you, brother."

More dog food was served, but Mei Mengqian showed no discomfort and continued to eat with her head down.

Soon, the person opposite had finished eating, while she still had a little over half left.

Mei Mengqian could even feel the two men's intense gazes fixed on her bowl.

"How pitiful! Is this what they mean by 'love makes even water taste sweet'?"

She thought to herself calmly, a rare hint of pity flickering in her usually serene eyes.

So she reached out and picked up a shiitake mushroom that had absorbed the rich broth, and put it in her mouth.

Mmm~, delicious!

She then took a bite of rice, followed by a piece of chicken.

Then I soaked the freshly bought dried tofu in the broth.

He swallowed the food in his mouth gracefully, then slowly sipped his soy milk.

The young couple swallowed hard. They sat for a few seconds, then left, even though they had come later than Mei Mengqian.

But this table has always belonged to Mei Mengqian.

·····
The entire class takes the monthly exam in their own classroom, so all you need to do is pull the desks apart.

Each person's exam number and exam seat are assigned according to the alphabetical order of the first letter of their name in pinyin.

Li Yan fiddled with the last table, withdrawing his consciousness from Mei Mengqian.

I have a feeling that Mengmeng learned something bad from Jiang Yingzhu.

Just then, Lin Yufan and the others returned from their meal, walked into the classroom, and handed a large bag of things to the class monitor.

"Everyone has worked hard, so I'll treat you all to milk tea," Ye Hui said.

"Oh! Thank you, class monitor!!" several class representatives cheered.

Li Yan clapped his hands, walked to the class monitor's seat, and glanced at it.

"I want that one, we have quite a few flavors."

"Lemonade, thanks, class monitor."

Li Yan took the only lemonade, and Ye Hui pursed her lips.

Yang Xiong, who was nearby, couldn't help but say, "That was bought for himself by the squad leader."

The main reason is that he has never drunk anything that is exclusively Ye Hui's.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Li Yan turned around.

"It's okay, I can drink milk tea too." Ye Hui shook her head slightly.

Yang Xiong was stunned on the spot, but this had little to do with Li Yan.

After eating the braised chicken and rice that Mei Mengqian brought back, I went home after evening self-study.

The three chatted about tomorrow's exam the whole way, mainly Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian doing the talking.

For both of them, this exam can serve as a preliminary assessment of their progress over the past period.

It's still very meaningful!
"What score do you think you can achieve this time?" Li Yan asked.

"If you do very well on the test, will there be a reward?" Jiang Yingzhu asked, and Mei Mengqian nodded in agreement.

"Uh-huh!"

What the hell?

Li Yan typed a question mark. Shouldn't he be the one saying that?!
