I’m really immortal Chapter 22

Others who had the same gaze as Liu Chang’an, fixedly staring at him, were Qian Ning and Lu Yuan. Although they thought Liu Chang’an was arrogant and self-conceited, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of threat from him.

At noon, Lu Yuan brought lunch to Bai Rui, who asked if Liu Chang’an had gone out to eat with Ann Wan. Bai Rui thought this was a deliberate show of strength, despite emphasizing that she didn’t like Liu Chang’an at all. However, Ann Wan’s display of bravado made her feel quite annoyed.

Liu Chang’an piled up his books high and was diligently doing his homework. He even took a look at Gao De Wei’s notes and gained some inspiration.

Although Liu Chang’an often had an air of superiority due to his age and experience, when it came to learning, he had never been complacent. Human knowledge had accumulated rapidly over the past few centuries, far surpassing that of the previous few thousand years. The entire education system had become highly efficient, making progress by leaps and bounds.

The entire afternoon, Bai Rui didn’t bother with Liu Chang’an.

After school, Liu Chang’an seemed to have ignored Huang Shan’s warning and still went to the gym to watch Ann Wan practice basketball.

Chen Chang Xiu was also at the gym and noticed that Ann Wan’s expression was different from when she was with Liu Chang’an, laughing and chatting. Chen Chang Xiu was certain that this was his doing, that his photo had exposed Liu Chang’an’s true face, enlightening Ann Wan.

However, Liu Chang’an still came over, and Chen Chang Xiu sneered at him, saying, “You really have no shame!”

Liu Chang’an looked at Chen Chang Xiu with a “heart-unchained, mutually-unchained” gaze.

“I’ll beat you to death one day,” Chen Chang Xiu threatened, holding a basketball, because there were teachers in the gym, and he didn’t dare to be too reckless. He didn’t want to attract the physical education teacher’s attention, especially after Liu Chang’an’s scandalous behavior that day… although Chen Chang Xiu was convinced that Liu Chang’an had been lucky.

Liu Chang’an sat down in his original seat, watching Ann Wan.

Ann Wan gave Liu Chang’an a cold stare before ignoring him. Earlier, in the locker room, other team members were teasing them about their relationship, which was different from the morning’s atmosphere. Ann Wan felt wronged and a bit resentful, but after observing Liu Chang’an several times, she noticed that he hadn’t done anything intimate or flirtatious towards Bai Rui, which made her forgive him a little. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have even given him a cold stare.

Liu Chang’an sat in the stands, thinking about Qin Yanan, or rather, Qin Yanan’s great-grandmother, Ye Si Jin. From a certain perspective, Qin Yanan was only similar to Ye Si Jin in terms of first impressions and appearance. Sitting there, Liu Chang’an saw Ye Si Jin’s shadow in Ann Wan.

In 1913, the American Christian Church, Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, Baptist Church, and Christian Church decided to establish a women’s university. That November, they established a board of directors and chose a location in Jinling, where Jinling Women’s University was established in 1915.

This was a very successful school, with 16 four-year programs, including Chinese, English, history, sociology, biology, chemistry, home economics, and medicine. From 1919 to 1951, they had 999 graduates, known as the “999 Roses.”

Ye Si Jin was one of them, although she wasn’t as elegant as a rose, but more delicate and refined.

Liu Chang’an thought she was more like a bamboo, slender and delicate, yet strong and resilient.

As a women’s university, under modern educational concepts, sports development flourished, and Ye Si Jin loved playing volleyball, a sport invented in 1895 that was introduced to China by Americans.

At that time, Ye Si Jin often wore black sports shorts, white sneakers, and a white short-sleeved shirt, running and jumping on the court.

“Older brother, you haven’t come to see me in a long time!”

“Older brother, Qin Peng has gone off somewhere again, sneaking out today!”

“Older brother, our school’s designer, Mr. Zhong, also participated in the design!”

“This is our school’s sports uniform, doesn’t it look good?”

“We can live a peaceful life here, but when I think of our country, my heart aches! Older brother, why are we always being bullied?”

“Qin Peng has gone to the factory to send explosives, let’s go and support them!”

“I saw Mr. Zi Ren today, and he’s so tall! He said we must have faith, that although there are few party members, they will grow!”

“I’ve already become a party member today, older brother!”

Time was like the spark of a fire, which unintentionally burned away a lifetime.

Over the centuries, we’ve encountered countless people, and such experiences should have made our emotions grow numb, almost to the point of indifference. Yet, in the face of warmth, sweetness, and familiar emotions, we’re still helpless.

There’s nothing, it’s just something that happened a long, long time ago.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Ann Wan said, her soft voice echoing in Liu Chang’an’s ears as she sat beside him, gently wiping away the corners of his eyes.

“Ah… what are you wiping?” Liu Chang’an came back to his senses, only to realize Ann Wan was no longer in front of him, but beside him. He was taken aback by his own emotions.

“I’m going to change, my mom told me to come home early today,” Ann Wan said, seeing Liu Chang’an’s unusual, serious expression for the first time, his eyes shining with an unusual light, big and bright, with eyelashes that fluttered.

“Go ahead.”

After Ann Wan changed, Liu Chang’an returned to his usual self, and Ann Wan liked his silly, affectionate gaze and behavior, but also felt a pang of heartache.

“You should tell your mom it’s about today’s school incident,” Liu Chang’an sorted out his tumultuous emotions from earlier.

This made Ann Wan a bit worried, but she couldn’t help asking Liu Chang’an, “What should I say?”

As parents, they had limited control over their children’s lives and emotions, only serving as a warning.

“You should say you’re a single-minded fool who doesn’t even think about him, with only volleyball and studies on your mind, and no interest in romantic relationships… high school boys are full of hormones, only thinking about breasts and long legs, like ducks in a row, always trying to catch up…”

“Ugh, I don’t permit you to talk about yourself like that!” Ann Wan’s face turned red with anger, Liu Chang’an still speaking nonsense, making her doubt, “Did you say the same thing to Bai Rui?”

“You’ve been following me, monitoring me, I dare not speak to her?” Liu Chang’an asked strangely.

“Who’s been following you, monitoring you!” Ann Wan grew even angrier, her face flushing red, stomping her feet several times, before suddenly reacting, “So you still like her, still want to talk to her!”

Liu Chang’an didn’t have time to respond before Ann Wan realized, “Men only think about breasts and long legs… haha, so I’ll ask you, which one is more attractive to men?”

“Chest.” Liu Chang’an answered firmly.

Ann Wan jumped up behind Liu Chang’an, trying to grab his neck and push him to the ground.

Alas, when you were still a monkey, your mother should have enjoyed playing with you like this too!

“What are you doing, totally disrupting the rules!” Huang Shan’s voice sounded from behind, full of anger, as if the two of them had completely ignored his warning at noon!

Ann Wan quickly jumped down, pulling Liu Chang’an away, not bothering to respond to Huang Shan’s voice.

If they didn’t leave now, they’d have to leave the “prison” eventually. If they didn’t act recklessly, what was the fun in that?
