I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 97 A Man and Many Women Amidst a Complaint

Jiang Yingzhu narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the look in her senior's eyes as she left.

He then took out his phone and fiddled with it for a bit, before finally crossing his arms and looking at Li Yan.

"Little Li, do you really have to smell a kitten's butt before you can interact with it?"

"Of course."

"You still dare to lie? Baidu says that you just need to pet its head to leave its scent. I already petted it. It's normal for kittens to be shy and timid. They need to be given treats."

Jiang Yingzhu put her hands on her hips, pointed at him, and said, "Do you think you can fool me? I'm punishing you by making you go buy those canned staple foods and sauce packets, hurry up!"

“Yes! Zhuzhu is right!” Mei Mengqian chimed in.

Li Yan shrugged. "Alright."

He was also planning to buy something for the kitten, but Ms. Fang hadn't prepared enough.

After going downstairs, Li Yan asked Gao De for directions to nearby pet stores, and then walked there.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other person stopped watching the little black cat.

Instead, they each grabbed their phones and started learning about this topic, determined not to be fooled by some despicable person again.

The living room was gradually filled with the fragrant aroma of food. Jiang Yingzhu lay sprawled on the sofa, holding a phone in one hand and placing the other on Mei Mengqian's thigh, looking like a lord.

Just then, the little black cat hiding in the corner peeked out and deliberately walked past the two of them.

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were instantly drawn in and held their breath.

The little black cat seemed to sense their gazes and quickened its pace.

Like a shadowy figure, it darted under the coffee table, then dashed out from the other side, squeezed into the shoe rack by the door, and huddled inside a slipper.

"Wow!" Mei Mengqian exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Yingzhu stood up and walked over with her phone.

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian quickly followed.

Seeing this, the little black cat seemed frightened and shrank into the slipper.

The slippers were also black, so at first glance you couldn't tell at all.

But Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were all smiling, taking pictures with their phones.

"Crack!"

The sound of the lock opening made Jiang Yingzhu's ears twitch. Without even looking, she said directly:

"Li Yan's back! Quickly give me the cat treats!"

"What cat treats?"

A woman's voice rang out. Ms. Fang looked at the two little ones squatting at the door and patted her shoes as if she were investigating a crime scene.

"Mengmeng, come over to play! Zhuzhu, take her to sit on the sofa and have some fruit. Why are you all staring at my slippers?"

"Hello, Aunt Fang," Mei Mengqian replied mechanically.

Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback. She turned around and saw Aunt Fang standing at the door with an umbrella in her hand.

"Aunt Fang, we're looking after the cat, but your cat is so timid!"

As Jiang Yingzhu spoke, she took off her slippers. "Aunt Fang, be careful when you change your shoes. It's hiding inside your slippers."

Ms. Fang smiled, lifted her foot, and the little black cat ran out on its own.

She glanced at Mei Mengqian, noticing the girl's slight shyness, and then struck up a conversation:

"Mengmeng, you and Li Yan are on vacation in Jiangcheng? How many days are you going to stay?"

“I still have homework to do in three or four days,” Mei Mengqian said.

There's quite a lot of homework during the holiday; it fills half a backpack.

"That's good. It's a good balance between work and rest. Students' main task is still studying."

Ms. Fang nodded. "Where are you all going to play?"

"Going to a concert, haven't decided yet for tomorrow."

Mei Mengqian held Jiang Yingzhu tightly with one hand, hiding half of her body behind her.

She looked just like a young bride who had come with Jiang Yingzhu to meet her parents.

"The Magnolia Flower Sea area is alright; I heard a lot of people go there."

Ms. Fang casually mentioned this and led the two into the living room, where they were greeted by a rich aroma of food.

She looked towards the kitchen, but the door was closed, and she couldn't see anything.

"Li Yan is cooking. That kid needs to be more diligent."

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian exchanged a glance, but Mei Mengqian did not respond.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes darted around. "Aunt Fang, would you like to go in and take a look?"

"I'm not going in. That kid doesn't need help. I'm coming back to get my things, and then I have to go downstairs to meet someone."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian's eyes revealed a hint of regret.

Jiang Yingzhu also looked regretful.

Seeing Ms. Fang enter the room, she didn't sit on the sofa, but went to the kitchen doorway instead.

I quietly opened the door and saw my senior cooking.

"Senior, did you hear that just now?"

Hua Junshu simply kept cooking without saying a word.

"Senior, Li Yan's mom is back. She said she wants to eat your cooking."

Hua Junshu's arm trembled, and he accidentally added half a spoonful of salt too much.

Instead of taking any remedial measures, she continued to stir-fry the pork a few more times before plating it.

"Zhuzhu, I can hear what's going on outside," Hua Junshu said, turning around.

Jiang Yingzhu chuckled, "So, senior, are you nervous?!"

Just as Hua Junshu was about to speak, he heard the door open and the light footsteps of someone walking out.

"Oh dear, this little thing is standing at my door again. I almost stepped on it."

Hua Junshu fixed his gaze, and subconsciously reached out to close the kitchen door.

"Zhuzhu, Mengmeng, I'm going out. You two have fun at home."

Li Yan's mother's voice continued to come, and Hua Junshu breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the stove again.

Click!

ignition.

"Hey, Li Yan, you're not home, so who's in the kitchen?" The fire was lit, but Hua Junshu subconsciously turned it off.

"Mom, why are you back so early? Are you going out again?" Li Yan glanced at Ms. Fang.

"I'm going home to get something. Is that your dad in the kitchen? What are you guys doing?"

Ms. Fang guessed, but subconsciously felt that it wasn't.

"It's not my dad, it's a friend of mine, he's cooking." Li Yan walked in and picked up the little thing that was following behind Ms. Fang's feet.

"Hey~, you kid, how can you let your friends cook for you when you invite them over!"

Ms. Fang stopped in her tracks, turned around, and began to berate him.

"How can you be so shameless? You don't entertain your friends and you go out all by yourself."

"I'm just buying something nice for your cat." Li Yan rolled his eyes.

"Besides, we're very close, unlike you who's so formal. What's wrong with cooking for each other?"

Ms. Fang felt that there was some truth to it, but let alone a few points, even a thousand points wouldn't be of any use to her.

"Stop talking nonsense and go help in the kitchen."

Ms. Fang unloaded the cat and its supplies from his hands, pushed him into the kitchen, and said as she opened the door:
"Hey classmate, stop fussing around and come out to rest. Let Li Yan take care of you."

Upon opening the door, Ms. Fang paused, momentarily forgetting what she was going to say next.

She looked at Hua Junshu standing in front of her. He had a cool and aloof appearance, a tall and slender figure, and was wearing an apron.

I glanced at the dishes laid out in the kitchen; they looked and smelled delicious, and there was braised pork stewing on the side stove.

"This"

She turned to look at Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian, then stared at her own son.

"Girl, you look terrible in the kitchen. Don't hurt yourself. Let Li Yan do it."

Upon hearing this, Hua Junshu, who was standing at the door, shook his head.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Hua Junshu."

"Alright, alright, Junshu, come out here and let Li Yan do it."

"No, Auntie, Li Yan did the food preparation, so you can leave the rest to me."

As Hua Junshu spoke, an undeniable and resolute aura naturally emanated from him, leaving Ms. Fang speechless.

She glanced at her son again, 'Hey~, you two are even dividing up the work?'

"Alright, I don't understand how you young people get along. But please be careful,"

As Ms. Fang spoke, Li Yan pushed her into the kitchen.

"Here's what we'll do: let Li Yan watch over him. Just treat him like a handyman. Make sure he gets all the dishes and washes the basins."

After saying that, she walked out.

"That's it? Shouldn't you have asked what color your underwear is?" Jiang Yingzhu said.

"Zhuzhu!!" Mei Mengqian shook her arm, she really couldn't stand such vulgar language.

"Senior, keep going."

"Okay, you're not allowed to move."

"Okay, you can move then."

Jiang Yingzhu felt their conversation was strange, so she turned to look for the cat supplies Li Yan had bought; she was determined to pet the cat today.

Mei Mengqian stood at the door for a while, then got a little bored and went to play with the cat with Jiang Yingzhu. The little black cat had disappeared again.

Li Yan stood inside the kitchen door, acting as a proper doorkeeper, watching Hua Junshu cook, finding it a pleasing sight.

But a hint of speechlessness flashed across his eyes.

Ms. Fang went out, entered the elevator, went down one floor, and then walked back up.

First, he cautiously glanced at his own door, and then decisively rang his neighbor's doorbell.

"Who!"

"Sister Cai, it's me, Xiao Fang."

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with a burly build, like a water bucket, walked out and looked at Ms. Fang with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Fang, I'm not playing cards today. The brat is making a fuss about not wanting to go to tutoring class, it's so annoying."

"I'm not going either, but this kid is really a worry."

Ms. Fang nodded and then pointed to her room.

"Sister Cai, can I borrow your room for a bit? I don't need to do anything, you can just chat with me."

Sister Cai asked, somewhat puzzled, "Xiao Fang, what are you doing?"

"Hey, you don't know, my son came over for the holidays!" Ms. Fang said, holding her hand.

"So what if they're here? It's great. These days, not many students are still thinking about home during their holidays," Sister Cai said.

"It would be great if he had come to do the work all by himself!"

Ms. Fang could barely contain her tears as she spoke in a heartbroken tone:
"The key point is that he also brought three beautiful daughters with him!!"

"What! Three!!!"

Startled, Sister Cai quickly pulled Ms. Fang into the room. The two then stood on the balcony side closest to Ms. Fang's house, listening intently and whispering among themselves.

"Xiao Fang, didn't you go back to check on these three?"

"I only saw it when I got back; that kid specifically targeted me when I wasn't there."

Ms. Fang said, "If I hadn't gone back to get something, I wouldn't have known."

"Then why aren't you doing anything about it? What if something happens?"

Sister Cai blinked and clicked her tongue, "This young man is acting suspiciously, alone with many women around. If he gets carried away, it might not end well."

"They haven't reached that stage yet, but I'm worried, so I came to you, Sister Cai."

Upon hearing this, Sister Cai nodded and offered her advice.

"Xiao Fang, you don't have any security cameras or anything, so you can't hear anything just by listening to the sound."

Ms. Fang fell into deep thought, nodded slightly, and approved of the idea.

"I'll buy a few cameras later."

"Mom, why don't you come back for dinner?"

Li Yan stood on the adjacent balcony, looking helpless.
