I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 93 Don't worry, my parents aren't here.
The highways were still congested during the National Day holiday, especially the sections approaching Wuhan.

Therefore, this journey was exceptionally long.

It was long enough that every passenger noticed the scene in the back row that had shocked them for a whole year.

Some middle-aged men would turn around thoughtfully and look at their wives, sons, or daughters beside them.

"We must keep a close eye on our children from now on, so they don't end up like the ones behind them."

"Son, look at the guy behind you, learn from him!"

"Girl, you mustn't follow the example of the people behind you!"

"But Dad, that boy is quite handsome."

Several different sounds entered his ears, and Li Yan yawned speechlessly, then increased the power of the soundproof barrier a little.

Study, study, study! Why do I think of studying everything I see?

Such a large carriage, are they all made by people from Chu?!
And he didn't do anything!
Li Yan felt that it wasn't just the highway that was congested; he was also feeling a bit hot.

Hua Junshu also fell asleep.

Because Mei Mengqian leaned on her, her center of gravity shifted, and she ended up leaning on Li Yan.

Li Yan felt that his breath was filled with fragrance, it smelled amazing.

There was another one lying on my lap, I really didn't dare to move at all!

It was fine at first, but it became a bit uncomfortable over time.

Fortunately, the bus had gradually exited the highway and entered the city.
But the matter did not end there, because there were quite a few tourists and passersby in Wuhan during the National Day holiday.

"Beep beep beep!"

The honking of horns increased significantly. Hua Junshu frowned, opened his eyes, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the unfamiliar surroundings. Then he felt the sensations coming from his cheek and chest.

brush!
She sat up abruptly, like a roly-poly toy that had been pressed to the ground.

Hua Junshu's usually cool and aloof face showed obvious embarrassment. She felt her face burning hot, and she didn't know where to look or what to say.

"oops!"

Fortunately, Mei Mengqian, who was awakened by her sudden movement, saved her.

Mei Mengqian rubbed her head and opened her eyes to look around.

"Reached?"

"No, I just got off the highway."

"Oh." Mei Mengqian nodded, knowing that it would probably be another hour or so before they arrived at the bus station.

She took out a fresh orange from her bag, took another sip, and then looked at Hua Junshu.

"Senior, what happened to you just now?"

Hua Junshu had almost finished adjusting and shook his head upon hearing this.

"fine."

She didn't explain why, and Mei Mengqian didn't care—she sometimes spoke like that, especially back in junior high school.

At this moment, Jiang Yingzhu, who was on Li Yan's lap, also woke up, but did not sit up.

"I'm hungry, Li Yan, get me something to eat."

"Get up and get it yourself."

"I'm a patient, I can't move!" Jiang Yingzhu said earnestly.

"That's it."

"Of course!"

Li Yan nodded, took a bag of tomato-flavored potato chips from the bag hanging on the back of the chair, and tore open the packaging.

Immediately, a tomato-flavored aroma wafted out.

Jiang Yingzhu stared intently at the Lay's packaging, as if she could already taste the potato chips crumbling in her mouth.

My mouth is watering uncontrollably.

But then Li Yan stuffed the potato chips into the hand of his senior, Hua Junshu.

Then she took out a bag of beef jerky from her backpack; it was her favorite five-spice beef jerky!

As soon as the packaging was torn open, a faint aroma of milk and meat wafted out, instantly dispelling Jiang Yingzhu's newly formed emotions!

After all, meat tastes better than potato chips!

She felt that her saliva tasted different from tomato to beef.

But the next moment, the beef jerky was handed to Mengmeng!
Jiang Yingzhu clenched her fists, still remembering that she was a patient who couldn't move.

So she didn't use her hands, she used her words.

"Li Yan! Where's mine? Where's mine? Give it to me now!"

"Yes, there's also a big bag of salt-baked chicken drumsticks in here."

Li Yan took out a beautifully packaged bag of chicken legs, and tore open the large package to reveal smaller packages inside.

"This is good, I'll eat this!" Jiang Yingzhu was immediately happy again.

Li Yan gave one to himself, then one to Hua Junshu, and one to Mei Mengqian, but didn't give one to her.

He tore open the packaging, took a bite, looked at her, and said earnestly and with concern:
"Zhuzhu, patients shouldn't eat snacks; snacks are unhealthy."

Jiang Yingzhu sat up abruptly, grabbed his neck, and yelled, "Ah! Li Yan, I'll kill you! Waaah!"

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes widened, and her mouth moved slightly.

"Humph!"

She bit the whole chicken leg and snorted through her nose.

She glanced at the senior student and Mengmeng, who were eating snacks with their heads down, unable to suppress their laughter. Then she looked at the packaging bag in Li Yan's hand and snatched it away.

"Humph~"

Jiang Yingzhu hummed softly again, turned her head away, and then grabbed the whole bag of chicken legs.

Li Yan shook his head helplessly, took out a sip of water, and drank it.

Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian looked up and saw Jiang Yingzhu looking to the other side, wondering what was going on.

They exchanged a puzzled glance, and Hua Junshu held out the potato chips in his hand.

"Zhuzhu is eating potato chips."

Mei Mengqian also asked with concern, "And beef jerky."

"You guys eat, it should be noon when we get off the bus, save room for lunch."

Jiang Yingzhu turned her head and said something that seemed normal, then took out a bag of chicken drumsticks and threw it at Li Yan's head.

······
After lunch, Li Yan and his two companions headed towards the subway station, intending to accompany their senior to meet some distant relatives.

Why did your senior go to see your cousin?

"I owe her money, and I'll pay it back."

Hua Junshu said without changing her expression that her cousin Hua Ningxia was the only relative who had helped her, and that her family was not wealthy.

In fact, Hua Junshu should have asked his cousin's family to repay the money, but his cousin's family had been working in the south.

Even last year during Chinese New Year, it was her cousin who came to visit her.

"Oh, does your senior and cousin live at school?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

“Yes.” Hua Junshu nodded, his gaze wandering over the streets of the big city.

Well, Jiangcheng was not what she had imagined.

What she saw from the car and what she actually did on the road gave her a unique feeling of being busy.

It feels like there's construction everywhere you go, like roads are being dug up.

“Then let’s take the subway. Jiangda University is quite close to my home,” Mei Mengqian said.

Li Yan nodded and led the three into the subway station. "Let's stop by my shop for some tea while we're at it."

Hua Junshu didn't say anything, but looked around the subway passage. Finally, he felt a bit like a big city.

Seeing this, Li Yan smiled slightly, "Senior, let's go buy tickets first, and I'll teach you how to take the subway."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she wanted to raise her hand to indicate that she would go, but she suddenly stopped, scratched her head, and looked a little embarrassed.

She discovered she didn't know how to buy tickets.

Although I had taken the train a few times when I came to Jiangcheng last time, it seems that Li Yan helped me buy the tickets.

All she needs to do is swipe her card and insert a coin.

Jiang Yingzhu secretly followed them to learn from them.

The group approached the ticket machine, and Li Yan began to demonstrate.

"It's very simple. Just choose the route, departure station, and destination. For example, if we want to take Line 2 to Jiedaokou, then..."

Li Yan operated the machine, finally stopping at the payment screen.

"You can scan the code, and there's also a banknote entrance here."

"After you pay, you'll receive this round plastic ticket."

Hua Junshu watched carefully from the side, occasionally asking questions, without any embarrassment.

Humans are not born with knowledge; not knowing how to ride the subway is like not knowing how to use chopsticks when you were a child.

Very normal.

She doesn't experience emotional fluctuations because of normal things.

Moreover, this is easy to learn.

She quickly bought a ticket herself.

Then he gave up his seat and silently watched Jiang Yingzhu.

Li Yan also looked towards Jiang Yingzhu, and then towards Mei Mengqian standing in the group behind her.

For a moment, Jiang Yingzhu had the illusion that she was taking an exam.

After buying the tickets, Li Yan led the group onto the bus, and also gave his senior a brief explanation.

·······
"Senior, are you sure this is the place? Could my cousin have made a mistake?"

On the commercial street, Li Yan looked at the milk tea shop not far ahead with a strange expression.

Then I looked at my senior's phone screen, where the map navigation showed a distance of fifty meters.

"No, my cousin said the location is where she works."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu's expression turned strange. "That's a bit of a coincidence."

"What?" Hua Junshu asked in confusion.

Mei Mengqian pointed to the milk tea shop ahead, "Because our destination is Li Yan's milk tea shop!"

"."

Even the usually emotionless Hana Junshu fell silent at this moment.

For some reason, a faint sense of shame suddenly welled up from the depths of her heart, making her feel a little hot all over.

To confirm, she immediately took a photo and sent it to her cousin.

Cousin: [Yes, yes, this is it! You've arrived! Come on in!]

Hua Junshu was a little afraid to open his eyes.

What a coincidence!
"What a small world."

She twitched the corners of her mouth, her cool expression unreadable, unsure whether she should smile or not.

“This is fate!” Jiang Yingzhu shook her hand.

"Oh dear, senior, let's go in quickly."

"Don't worry, my parents aren't here," Li Yan said.

Having tasted the initial success of expansion, Lao Li now has more than just those one or two businesses.

Besides doing accounting and conducting surveys, I've gotten to know a lot of small business owners, so I've started fishing for information.

Strangely enough, Li Yan remembered that when he was a child in the countryside, Old Li could catch a few small fish with a bamboo pole.

Now that they've been equipped with advanced gear, the air force is the one that's been weakened.

Before even entering the store, I saw a young woman in work clothes and wearing a name tag come out.

"Junshu, you're here! Hey, little boss!"

Hua Ningxia ran out and immediately saw Hua Junshu, then saw Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu beside her.

She was quite familiar with Li Yan, after all, when she first started working part-time there, the boss and his wife bragged about him every day.

Moreover, the song in the store and the expansion plan were all ideas of this young and handsome guy.

It's hard not to be impressed!
With Li Yan as a marker, Hua Ningxia wouldn't easily forget his two very beautiful friends beside him, even though she had only met them once.

"Cousin, this is my classmate."

Hua Junshu said something, then looked at her, "Won't this disturb your work? I see there are quite a lot of people here."

"No, I've already asked the store manager for leave!"

Hua Ningxia shook her head. The store manager here was an older sister who had worked part-time with her before.

We have a good relationship because she recommended me; the boss wanted her to be the store manager.

However, Hua Ningxia was busy with her studies and did not agree.

Hua Ningxia glanced at her, then at the young boss, and secretly observed Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian.

I just feel a bit confused, and my mind is a mess too.

"Um... how about I take you guys to get something to eat?"

"No need, Xiaxia. You chat with your senior, and we'll take a walk around the neighborhood."

As Li Yan spoke, he gave Jiang Yingzhu and the other woman a look, and the three of them left without saying another word.

"Why don't you take another look?"

"What are you looking at? So gossipy!"

Jiang Yingzhu was helplessly dragged away.

Passing by a candied hawthorn stall, Li Yan bought a few candied hawthorn skewers, one for each of them.

While eating, he used his divine sense to observe Hua Junshu and his cousin chatting.

He mainly observed Hua Ningxia, and as he listened, he realized that this Xiaxia was studying law. No wonder she also wanted to study that field.

Li Yan stroked his chin, somewhat tempted. He wanted to poach them to work for him.

After all, his beauty serum needed an agent, and he intended for his senior to come.

But my senior isn't mature yet!
Why don't we let the older female students or cousins ​​try it first?

However, he still needs to observe further to at least prove that Hua Ningxia is trustworthy.

After biting into the last strawberry, Li Yan threw the bamboo skewer into the trash can. A sinister thought formed in his mind.

"I wonder if there are any magical artifacts that can control people."

"Or a talisman that can be contracted?"

Shaking his head, Li Yan felt it wasn't necessary to go that far. Under his divine sense, it was difficult for him to hide the thoughts of ordinary people.

Let's find an opportunity to talk to Hua Ningxia.
