I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 52 Holding Hands

The two didn't expect Yu Bin to be so bold, daring to mock him even with the instructor present.

He cursed under his breath and hurriedly ran away.

"Alright, everyone be quiet. Stand for another ten minutes to rest. I'll see who makes noise. If they do, they'll have to stand for another ten minutes."

Instructor Liu glanced at Yu Bin but said nothing.

During the ten-minute break, many people flocked to the school's small supermarket.

Seeing this, Li Yan felt that the supermarket owner should at least give those two a small commission.

"Holy crap, are these people crazy? They're all going to buy water?" Yu Bin said, holding his water bottle.

"If I were a supermarket owner, I would charge an entrance fee of one yuan, and then raise the price of the baskets by fifty cents."

"Brother Bin, have some decency!"

Those nearby who were also carrying water heard this and were speechless.

"That's too low-level."

Xiao Shuai chewed on the ice cubes in his mouth, picked up the thermos, and poured himself another sip.

"If I were the supermarket owner, I would just bribe a few high school sophomores to do the same thing as those two, wandering around here with ice cream non-stop."

"Little cutie. But I think we could also get some watermelon and a small fan, so they can just wander around here."

"You flatter me, Brother Bin is also quick-witted."

Beside them, Cheng Yuan, holding a water bottle from his dormitory, unconsciously kept a few feet away from the two people, just like everyone else around him.

"You Paradox Interactive players, right?" Ye Daijia couldn't help but complain.

“It’s Jia Xu and Cheng Yu from the first year of high school,” Li Yan said.

People around them chuckled, but Yu Bin and his companion didn't care; everyone knows how to talk back.

"Li Yan, aren't you thirsty? Aren't you going to buy some water?"
"The class monitor bought it," Li Yan said, pointing towards the small supermarket.

Over there, Ye Hui, dressed in neat military training uniform, walked this way with upright steps, her face under the brim of her hat still expressionless.

Beside him, the deputy squad leader Yang Xiong was carrying two cases of bottled water.

"Holy crap!" someone exclaimed, sensing that something was about to happen.

Mei Mengqian was also drawn to that area and abandoned her idea of ​​going to find Li Yan to buy water together.

Sure enough, as soon as the class monitor approached, he immediately said, "I'll treat everyone to some water. Anyone who needs some can get some."

"The squad leader is so magnanimous!"

"Waaaaah, I love it so much! Class monitor, we'll definitely do our best in military training," one of the girls said.

Li Yan went to get two bottles, thanked Ye Hui, and gave one bottle to Mei Mengqian.

Then, carrying water to Class 8, I saw Jiang Shao standing on a box of Wahaha drinks, gesturing wildly.

He glanced at it, but didn't go up to disturb Jiang Shao's show of force. It was time to return to the team.

After that, instead of standing at attention, the instructors began teaching how to march in formation.

Although the military training only lasts for seven days, there will still be military training and formation performances. The marching will only be done early, not late.

"One-two-one! One-two-one!"

Instructor Liu shouted slogans and followed the group, his eyes scanning the crowd.

Suddenly, the focus shifted to Mei Mengqian, and the chant in her mouth changed.

"Left, right, left! Stop!!"

He looked at Mei Mengqian and said, "That student, step forward."

Mei Mengqian pursed her lips, stood up with a stiff face, and the whole class turned to look at her. She nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes.

"Marching in step, you do it once."

"it is good."

Mei Mengqian nodded, her gaze calm, took a deep breath, and counted one, two, one.

"one!"

Step out with your left hand and left foot simultaneously.

"two!"

Then it's the right hand and the right foot.

After walking a few steps, she seemed less nervous, and her voice became much stronger, showing that she was very confident.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

But some people in the group couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Hui, standing at the very front, couldn't help but smile slightly.

She remembered this pretty girl well; she never expected her to walk with the same foot on one side and yet be so confident.

Li Yan stroked his chin. He had forgotten that Mei Mengqian seemed to have made the same mistake in her previous life.

Some people walk with their feet turned out the same way without realizing it, and they don't even realize they're going the wrong way, thus becoming confident that they are right.

Mei Mengqian is like that now.

"Stop! You can't tell left from right!"

The instructor's words and the laughter around her made Mei Mengqian suddenly realize that she was wrong.

Overwhelmed by shame, she lowered her head, her gaze wandering, and she happened to see Li Yan smirking.

His smile is actually quite handsome, what's with the smile on his face!
Mei Mengqian felt even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
The instructors taught Mei Mengqian several times, but she couldn't correct her mistakes at all, and the team burst into laughter again.

"What are you laughing at? If you don't practice well, you won't get a lunch break!"

Silence fell instantly. Instructor Liu didn't have time to correct the patient individually, so he said:
“Hey you, the third from the back in the second row, good for you. You step forward and teach her.” Li Yan was taken aback.

"Huh—!"

"Wow~~~"

A series of drawn-out, melodious voices from boys and girls filled the air.

I don't know what I'm doing, maybe my throat is a little itchy.

Li Yan came out, and Instructor Liu nodded. "Take a few steps, look at that female student carefully."

Mei Mengqian kept her head down, glanced at Li Yan who was standing ramrod straight, and then looked away.

I felt a burning sensation rising from my lungs and then spreading down my throat to my entire head.

Fortunately, Li Yan didn't look at her much, but instead started walking while shouting slogans.

He walked very upright, which was pleasing to the eye. Even Ye Hui, who had high standards for herself and was confident that she could teach Mei Mengqian, felt that perhaps he was the more standard.

"You all saw that, right? This is real marching. Everyone, do it this way. This student is probably the best marcher in the entire first year of high school!"

After Instructor Liu finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan and said, "You two go practice over there."

"Oh~, over there~~, Instructor, I need Li Yan to teach me, because I also walk with the same steps~~"

Yu Bin shouted in a strained voice, each word a long, drawn-out syllable.

"One-on-one, hand-in-hand, oh my, I want hand-in-hand too!" Ye Daijia egged on, the 200-pound fat man swaying like a roly-poly toy.

"Eek!"

The boys and girls started teasing him together, and Li Yan felt that his deskmate was about to explode.

Fortunately, the instructor interrupted everyone at this moment and looked at Yu Bin, who had started the commotion first.

"You come out here and lead the team around three times. I'll see who's walking with the wrong steps, and I'll have them practice on the podium."

Under the threat of death, everyone immediately fell silent.

Li Yan led Mei Mengqian to a shady spot.

"Okay, do it."

"This isn't a good place."

"What's wrong with that? Nobody's watching here."

"Ok."

Mei Mengqian nodded and began to move.

Left, right, left are still the same direction.

Li Yan told her to walk normally, and then found that she was perfectly normal.

"Okay, let me show you around first."

"it is good."

So Li Yan reached for her wrist, which was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

The moment he grabbed her, Li Yan clearly felt her muscles tense up for a moment, and then slowly relax.

"here we go."

After taking two steps, Li Yan found that she had returned to normal.

Yes, except for her face being slightly flushed.

"Is it hot?"

"It's alright." Mei Mengqian subtly glanced at her wrist, which was being pulled. Was this... was this considered holding hands?

"I think I know your problem. You're too focused on marching properly."

Li Yan activated a spiritual energy shield to insulate against the high temperature, and then said:
"Let's play a game, we'll sing as we walk, I'll sing a line, then you sing a line,"

"I don't know many songs."

"For that pair of poems, I'll say the first line, and you'll finish the second."

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up. "Okay."

So Li Yan strode forward and led her along.

"Endless falling leaves rustle down."

"The endless Yangtze River rolls on."

"Don't even mention how delicious the perch is; with the west wind blowing all the way, has Ji Ying returned yet?"

"."

As they got into the rhythm of the poem, Li Yan noticed that she was becoming unruly.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, as solid as iron."

"Now we start anew."

After saying it subconsciously, Mei Mengqian realized it was gone. She looked over in confusion and saw Li Yan smiling at her.

"Where's down there?"

"You're all better now, didn't you notice?"

"Huh? So fast." Mei Mengqian whispered, and after taking a few more steps, she realized by looking at her shadow on the ground that she was indeed not walking with her feet in the same direction.

"What did you just say?"

"nothing."

She recalled the poem she had just recited, silently chanting it in her heart, and walked back, her ponytail swaying gently, feeling as if the air around her was filled with flavor.
