I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 36: Stuff them all into my mouth!
eight pm
The aroma of cooking wafted up from Jiqing Street as Li Yan and his two companions sat down at a barbecue restaurant.

"I've heard that all the barbecue restaurants in this area are long-established, so this time I'm sure I won't go wrong!"

Li Yan held a cake in his hand and did not raise any questions.

Firstly, in my previous life, I was confined for three years after starting university due to special circumstances, and I had never been here before.

Secondly, he felt that most barbecues were the same; as long as there were enough seasonings and the food was cooked through, they were probably all pretty much the same.
Sitting at an outdoor table, Jiang Yingzhu picked up the menu.

"Boss, give me thirty skewers of grilled lamb, ten skewers of chicken wings and feet, ten grilled gluten balls, and ten grilled steamed buns. That's all. Do you want some crayfish?"

"No, that would be too much trouble."

Li Yan shook his head. He was a lazybones and didn't like anything that required peeling.

However, the two people beside him were both incredibly greedy, so he looked at the boss.

"Boss, do you have any peeled crayfish?"

"Have!"

"Then I'll have one."

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu nodded in satisfaction, "You're sensible."

"Just eat it, and if you can't finish it, I'll stuff it in your mouth!"

"Shove it in your mouth!"

"In your mouth!"

"you you you you!"

The two argued oblivious to everyone around them, drawing frequent glances from people at nearby tables. Their childish antics were unbearable for Mei Mengqian to watch. She wanted to pretend to order drinks, but then remembered they had already brought them.

The two were still locked in a standoff, and Mei Mengqian was so frustrated that she almost scratched the ground with her toes. She really wanted to say something.

"Shove them all into my mouth!"

The scene fell silent as Li Yan and Jiang Yingzhu both looked over.

Several older men and women in the neighborhood, who had been watching the young people bicker with great interest, also turned to look at her.

Are there any experts?

No wonder they can have fun together.

Mei Mengqian's face turned completely red this time, so red it was almost bleeding.

How could I just say it?!

A little voice inside her exploded, while another voice appeared, roaring to the sky and furiously pounding the ground.

Then, in despair, he used the strongest tone to say the weakest words: "I...I didn't say anything, you guys continue."

Jiang Yingzhu and Li Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes darting around.

Jiang Yingzhu: See? You've corrupted Mengmeng.
Li Yan: "One is influenced by one's company," she's clearly closer to you.

Jiang Yingzhu: Today is my birthday

Li Yan: Okay, it's my fault.

A fierce battle in secret has come to an end, and Jiang Yingzhu pats Mei Mengqian's shoulder hard.

"It's okay. Look at Li Yan, even someone as abnormal as him is living a good life."

Jiang Yingzhu paused, then nodded firmly, "Tell me, it's all Li Yan's fault!"

“It’s all Li Yan’s fault.” Mei Mengqian glanced at Li Yan, confirming something, “It’s all Li Yan’s fault!”

Li Yan looked at Xiao Qingmei with a puzzled expression. "I said it was my pot, and you really gave me a big pot?"
Okay, okay, having you is my blessing.

"Haha, the barbecue is here!"

Just then, the owner brought up the roasted lamb.

Li Yan tasted it and found it to be alright; it tasted like barbecue.

Then the other dishes were served one after another.

The three of them tasted it first. Then, Li Yan raised the glass containing the iced tea and said, "Come on, happy birthday, Jiang Yingzhu."

"Ok!"

Mei Mengqian nodded seriously, swallowed the food with her mouth full, and raised the cup in her hand.
Jiang Yingzhu chuckled, raised her glass, and clinked glasses with him.

"Don't just offer toasts, what about my gift? I've been hiding it all day. If you don't give it to me soon, today will be over!"

She tapped the plate, looked at the peanuts the owner had given her, and glanced at the drinks on the table next to her.

I'd like to, but unfortunately that despicable Li Yan won't allow it.

“Yes, I have it for you now,” Mei Mengqian said immediately. She took out her small crocodile bag and took out a box from it. The box was very small.

"what is this?"

Jiang Yingzhu took it and immediately saw the words on it: "Fitbit Surge, a smart bracelet?!"

"Hmm, Zhuzhu, aren't you a sports student? I feel this should suit you. This bracelet is focused on sports and fitness, and it even has GPS tracking."

Jiang Yingzhu blinked, opened the box, and saw a bracelet with a huge screen.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you Mengmeng, I like it very much."

She knew nothing about these things, and her knowledge of fitness trackers was limited to something someone had mentioned about them.

Then I complained to Mengmeng, and to my surprise, she remembered it.

Although she felt it must be expensive, Jiang Yingzhu didn't feel burdened. She would just give Mengmeng a similar one next time.

Li Yan recognized the bracelet; he remembered that Mei Mengqian had worn it in his previous life, and it seemed to have cost eight or nine hundred.

Because lending it to someone caused damage, it caused a huge uproar in the class.

Jiang Yingzhu put on the bracelet on the spot, chatted with Mei Mengqian for a while with a smile, and then looked at Li Yan.

"Um--?!"

“If you’re not shy, I can give it to you right now,” Li Yan said.

"What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I brought a baton!"

Jiang Yingzhu suddenly stepped back, pretending to reach into her pocket.

Li Yan's eye twitched, but he didn't say anything. He stood up and went to find the boss.

Soon, a speaker and a microphone were set up and powered on. Regular customers nearby became interested upon seeing this setup.

"Hey Lao Wang, there's a special program today."

"Brother, I'll say a few words later too."

"Haha, this is what this handsome young man requested." The boss exchanged pleasantries with the group.

Li Yan plugged in the USB drive and tested the sound. Two coughs rang out from the speaker, audible for half the street.

"What is he going to do?" Jiang Yingzhu, like many other guests, looked at Li Yan.

"It must be singing, not scolding you," Mei Mengqian said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu muttered "That's not necessarily true," but inwardly she was filled with anticipation. What was this bastard going to sing?
"Ahem, sorry to bother you uncles and aunts, today is my friend's birthday, so I'd like to take this opportunity to sing her a song."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, a chorus of Jiangcheng accents came from all around.

"Don't bother, don't bother."

"Hurry up, handsome boy, we're all watching."

Just then, the sound system started playing.
The piece opens with gentle guitar arpeggios, the scales flowing like ripples on water, and the strings uttering clear overtones, as ethereal as morning light piercing through a thin mist.

The musical notes fall like shattered jade onto a plate, some light and some heavy, creating a sense of layering between light and shadow.

The moment it caught my ear, the lively discussion suddenly fell silent, leaving only the melody carrying the boy's clear voice through the night.

"If you are the fireworks on the sea, then I am the foam on the wave. For a moment, your light illuminated me."

Simple words, complex meaning. Some people may not understand it, but others have already connected with it.

However, the word "pleasant to hear" came to mind for everyone.

"You sang it pretty well, but I've never heard this song before?"

Jiang Yingzhu blinked, feeling that things were alright; her little brother hadn't let her down.

"It seems to be an original work."

Li Yan's singing continued, "If you are a distant galaxy, so dazzling that it makes one want to cry. I am the one who chases your gaze, always looking up at the night sky when I am lonely."

Mei Mengqian likes listening to music, so she took out her phone and used the song recognition function, but couldn't find it.

Listening to this song, you can always feel the subtle emotions within it, and it's like a song that simply celebrates the pursuit of ideals.

I can follow behind you

Like a shadow chasing the light in a dream

I can wait at this intersection.
Regardless of whether you will pass by or not

As the singing continued, Mei Mengqian felt a strange sense of immersion, and she looked at Jiang Yingzhu.

Zhu Zhu's face was slightly flushed, as if the lyrics had touched a nerve. Her eyes darted away, avoiding Li Yan's gaze, as if a candy wrapper she had been hiding for a long time had suddenly been shaken off.

Mei Mengqian was a little confused. In the lyrics, shouldn't she be the 'light'?

The song "Chasing the Light" quickly came to an end, followed by applause from all around.

Even if some people don't understand the lyrics, Li Yan's singing skills honed by the system, combined with his spiritual energy-supported techniques, are enough to make people's ears pregnant and enjoy an auditory feast.

Back in his seat, he looked at Jiang Yingzhu and raised an eyebrow.

"How was it? Were you moved to tears?!"

"It's alright. Did you write it yourself?"

Jiang Yingzhu crossed her arms, shook her head, gave a soft snort, and then turned her head back, her eyes sparkling as she asked.

"That's it."

Li Yan scratched his face. "Does copying count as writing?"
After finishing their barbecue, the group returned to Mei Mengqian's house.

I only realized halfway there that the birthday cake hadn't been opened yet.

So Jiang Yingzhu insisted on buying a few bottles of beer and a bag of snacks.

The three returned to the house, and just as they opened the cake and made a wish, Jiang Yingzhu grabbed a handful of cream and smeared it on Li Yan's face.

"Haha, you've been fooled!"

Then, with a slap, another piece appeared on her face.

"Zhuzhu, I didn't mean to," Mei Mengqian said, and quickly ran away.

The six-inch cake vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving the three of them covered in grime.

"Go wash up and go to bed," Li Yan said, touching his face, which was covered in so many bumps that it was impossible to get it clean.

"Sleep? Go take a shower first, we'll put on a movie and have some drinks!"

Li Yan couldn't persuade her otherwise, so the three of them washed up one after another, and then sat on the sofa to watch a movie, eat snacks, and drink.

Because he had no change of clothes, Li Yan wore Mei Mengqian's father's clothes.

To be honest, Li Yan felt that the Mei Mengqian pajamas Jiang Yingzhu was wearing were a little loose.

After playing all day, the three of them were too tired to chat.

As we watched, we lost track of who fell asleep first.

When Li Yan woke up, he felt as if he were being pressed under a mountain, and his body felt extremely heavy.

A slight itch near my ear; turning my head, I saw Mei Mengqian's exquisite face, her skin flushed as she slept peacefully.

Half of her body was resting on his arm.

The breathtakingly snow-covered hills seemed to break through the obstruction of the pajamas, and a glimpse of a scene that made one's heart race could be vaguely seen.

Being pinned down, Li Yan felt nothing romantic, because he was already numb.

On her chest, there was another Jiang Yingzhu lying there, drooling.

That bastard, he even touched his abs.

Li Yan's eyes widened. Should he touch it back?

"That's enough, I can't take it anymore," he shouted.

"Get up!!!"
