I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 67 What Does His Liking Have to Do With Me?

The English class was just coming to an end when it started to drizzle outside.

Many students cheered. The announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Due to weather conditions, today's extended recess morning exercises are cancelled."

The broadcast was repeated twice before being drowned out by the noise from the classroom.

English teacher Zhou Qinqin stood on the podium with a smile and watched for a while before leaving.

Then Li Yan heard Yu Qingya and Lin Yufan chatting behind him.

"No need to go down, that's good."

"That's not right, none of us have learned gymnastics yet, so we shouldn't have to go down."

"Are you crazy? Even if the school makes us stand down there, they won't stay up there."

The 20-minute break between classes feels especially long if you don't do exercises, and Li Yan hasn't figured out how to pass the time yet.

Just then, his arm was touched, and Mei Mengqian held her phone with the screen facing him.

"Look, Zhuzhu has already invited her old classmates to join the study group."

"She's always this quick. I'll talk to my senior at noon."

Li Yan nodded, and then he saw Mei Mengqian say expectantly:
"I want to study with everyone. I feel that the senior's lectures are really good. It's a pity that it's only Tuesday and the holiday is still a long way off."

Yu Qingya chimed in, "That's right, there are still three days until the holiday, and with today, it'll be four days."

Every Tuesday afternoon when I think about this, I feel a little... wistful.

"Why in the afternoon?" Mei Mengqian asked, puzzled.

"I feel sleepy in the afternoon, but I still have class."

Mei Mengqian felt that what she said made some sense, and then she heard Li Yan say:
"Actually, you can think about it from a different perspective."

"What angle?"

Mei Mengqian and Yu Qingya both looked over, and even Ye Daijia and Cheng Yuan, who hadn't gotten along with each other in a long time, perked up their ears.

"Look, Tuesday is over and it's Wednesday, and Wednesday means there are only two days left until the holiday!"

"Thinking about it this way, doesn't it make you feel much more relaxed?"

Yu Qingya suddenly realized, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"

“And once Wednesday is over, Thursday arrives! It feels like a week has flown by!” Ye Daijia agreed from the front.

Mei Mengqian shook her head, feeling that she had seen this move somewhere before.

Cheng Yuan glanced at Ye Daijia with disdain.

"No matter how fast you talk, you still have to go to class. What, just because you open your mouth, the remaining five classes and one evening study session are gone?"

Ye Daijia wanted to refute, but couldn't find a way to start, since the difficult time was still difficult to endure.

Just then, a burst of energetic music came from the multimedia speakers.

Li Yan and Mei Mengqian looked up simultaneously and saw that the projector had been lowered. A music video was playing on it.

Amidst the intro of electronic music and drum beats, Lin Yufan left the multimedia equipment and returned to her seat to watch.

Most of the class was also drawn in, as several women appeared on the screen in what looked like a practice room, and began dancing to the first line of lyrics.

"Is this a girl group?" Mei Mengqian wasn't quite sure.

“Yes, yes, f(x)!” Yu Qingya said excitedly from behind.

Mei Mengqian nodded, watching the people above swaying their bodies, shaking their hips and twisting their pelvis.

Calling it promiscuous would be an exaggeration, and calling it conservative wouldn't be right either; it's just those flirtatious actions with an ambiguous undertone.

What she saw made her feel like her face was on fire.

Then Yu Qingya asked, "Do you think they danced well?"

"It looks great!" Li Yan nodded.

Mei Mengqian looked at him and saw that his eyes were fixed on the projection, full of admiration.

She turned her head and glanced at the boys in the class, unconsciously puffing out her cheeks and gently tapping her tongue against the inside of her mouth.

'Well, other boys might sneak a glance, but you're doing it so openly.'

Yu Qingya was very happy to receive approval, and then began to talk about the girl group, dance moves, and so on. Finally, she asked:

Do you like it too?

"I don't like it." Li Yan followed his heart. "I simply enjoy watching beautiful women dance."

"Hey, you pervert, didn't you realize?" Yu Qingya said. Mei Mengqian pouted again and pointed at him.

"Are the people up there very pretty?"

"Not as pretty as you."

"Hmph, you're just talking nonsense. I see a lot of boys can't take their eyes off her." Mei Mengqian turned her head to one side.

"No way, they were all wearing makeup, but even so, they didn't look as good."

"Oh, stop talking." Mei Mengqian was a little embarrassed; how could she say such a thing?

They are just friends.

"So easily flattered? You think the boys in your class don't want to look at you? They're just afraid of being discovered."

The more he was told not to speak, the more Li Yan wanted to say it: "Look at them now, the way they're staring so intently is because the people in the video can't see it."

"Brother, stop talking! I really didn't see it!" Ye Daijia said from the front.

He was a little envious that Li Yan could openly discuss this with Yu Qingya; if it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to say it.

So he changed the subject, saying, "Do you think it will rain later? It's the third period, PE class."

Yu Bin passed by and, upon hearing this, said:
"I just went to the supermarket, and the playground was dry, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"That's good, let's play badminton together later."

"We'll see." Yu Bin hurriedly returned to his seat. He hadn't eaten breakfast and was starving.

Ye Daijia then extended an invitation to Li Yan behind her, who replied:
"We'll see when the time comes; it probably won't be over."

"What?"

“We don’t know how to do radio calisthenics yet,” Cheng Yuan said, glancing at him sideways with a look of intellectual disdain.

"You're so proud!"

Li Yan didn't continue watching the two argue, and got up to go to the second-year high school building.

I looked out the window of Class 1, Grade 11, but didn't see Hua Junshu. Instead, I made eye contact with a teacher on the podium.

On the way back, we passed by Class 8 and robbed Jiang Yingzhu of a bag of magic items. Back at our seats, Mei Mengqian and I each took half a bag and split it.

"Why didn't you buy another bag?"

Mei Mengqian wasn't quite full.

"Given by Zhuzhu."

"oh,"

"We'll buy it after our PE class."

"Uh-huh."

The bell rang, and Liu Ming, the sports committee member, announced that everyone should go to the playground for physical education class.

The PE teacher was from Northeast China, and he spoke with a strong Northeastern accent.

“The sports committee member will stand up and lead the team in running two laps. After that, we will conduct a gymnastics lesson.”

After running a lap around the 400-meter track, many students were already panting, especially the girls.

Yu Qingya and Mei Mengqian were about the same height, so they were chatting happily and stood in a row.

She glanced at Mei Mengqian, panting, and was immediately surprised to see that Mei Mengqian's face was flushed but she wasn't out of breath.

"Mengmeng, how come you have such great stamina?"

Wow, you have a great figure.

Yu Qingya looked enviously at the round shape that seemed to jump into her eyes and said enviously.

"Oh no, this is troublesome."

Mei Mengqian tightened her sun-protective jacket, feeling like someone was watching her.

"I feel Li Yan should like it; boys generally like bigger ones."

"ah!!?"

Mei Mengqian blushed at her sudden words and stammered in rebuttal:

"What does his liking have to do with me!"

"whee."
