I’m really immortal Chapter 52

Liu Chang’an wasn’t very active in the class group chat, so he wouldn’t have been notified about today’s activity if he hadn’t been kicked out. But being kicked out was being kicked out, and Liu Chang’an had never been bothered about these things.

However, someone didn’t see it that way. An Wan wouldn’t silently accept this kind of thing happening. Although she was only friends with Liu Chang’an, Liu Chang’an had made fun of her for not having a large enough bust and not being qualified to talk about love. But since everyone had tacitly acknowledged their relationship, White Dew’s actions were not giving An Wan face!

After Liu Chang’an got kicked out, he was pulled back in by An Wan within a minute. White Dew lowered her head and continued to kick Liu Chang’an out of the group. Liu Chang’an looked at himself being kicked out and pulled back in again. An Wan continued to pull him back, and White Dew continued to kick him out. The system messages in the group chat were being brushed away by Liu Chang’an’s repeated entries.

Laughing, Liu Chang’an walked to the lakeside and saw two middle-aged men with windbreakers and towels on their heads fishing from the wooden bridge. They were either puffing on pipes or chewing betel nuts, and as they gazed at each other’s floating hair, they spoke in a slow and leisurely tone, with a hint of disdain:

“You’re not good enough…”

“I haven’t seen you deliver anything!”

Liu Chang’an watched the two men fishing, and soon White Dew found Luo Ping and Bi Wanwan, who had returned. Although they were like goddesses who didn’t understand maps, they had excellent gossip skills. They looked at Liu Chang’an with a mixture of surprise and delight, eating and laughing.

Liu Chang’an glanced at his phone and saw that the group chat had been completely banned. He went back to the group and saw that An Wan had finally won, and White Dew had compromised.

It turned out that An Wan had said: “If you kick Liu Chang’an out again, I’ll create a new group.”

White Dew thought about it and realized that as the group owner, if An Wan quit the group and created a new one, her own group would probably become deserted. Who knows, maybe even after graduation, when it came to class reunions and gatherings, An Wan’s group would be the main one. This thought made White Dew unwilling to compromise, and she temporarily gave up on troubling Liu Chang’an.

Liu Chang’an didn’t watch them fish anymore and followed them back. He looked at the happy smiles of Qian Ning and Lu Yuan, and even he couldn’t help but smile.

Thirty years ago, outings and camping trips were extremely interesting. Young men and women were lively and sunny, singing and dancing, with some people reciting poetry, playing chess, or organizing games. But now, if someone stood up to sing, it would seem a bit old-fashioned. However, White Dew had livened up the atmosphere by bringing a Bluetooth speaker and dancing to the song “Ji Ming Yue”. She was very popular with the homebody dance enthusiasts, jumping and twirling, waving her fan, and laughing with her eyes shining…

The few of them had been active for a while, and everyone started to feel a bit hungry. Since it was a barbecue activity, they had prepared a lot of food. The most popular and affordable chicken legs and wings were, of course, essential, and there were also lamb and beef skewers, as well as dishes like chicken gizzards and sausages.

Liu Chang’an took out his prepared centipedes, making the girls scream and even scaring away some of the male students. When Liu Chang’an had finished processing the centipedes, removing the shells and leaving the white, tender meat, he brushed them with barbecue sauce and grilled them over charcoal. After a while, they turned golden brown and emitted a tempting aroma, making everyone’s mouths water. However, considering it was centipede meat, there were still no takers.

“I specially grilled these for you, centipedes have a hundred legs, and they’re very nutritious and tasty to eat,” Liu Chang’an said, holding out the grilled centipedes to White Dew.

“Liu Chang’an, how did I not notice you were so annoying earlier? If it weren’t for Zhao Wuqiang calling me yesterday, I wouldn’t have wanted to find you,” White Dew said, standing far away and pretending to be a cute girl afraid of insects.

“I’m very sure you discovered this many days ago,” Liu Chang’an said, glancing at Zhao Wuqiang, who was watching them from a distance.

Liu Chang’an had called out to Gao Cunyuan, but the reply was, “I’m going to study.” Liu Chang’an thought it was predictable.

Zhao Wuqiang walked over, patting Liu Chang’an’s shoulder and laughing: “Forget it, don’t tease White Dew anymore.”

White Dew expressed her gratitude, looking at Liu Chang’an with a changing expression. It was as if she was speaking to him for the last time.

“Want to eat centipedes?” Liu Chang’an offered a centipede to Zhao Wuqiang.

“No, thanks,” Zhao Wuqiang said, looking at White Dew.

“Let’s chat,” Liu Chang’an said.

Zhao Wuqiang felt Liu Chang’an’s pat on his shoulder was a bit forceful, and Liu Chang’an quickly let go. Zhao Wuqiang hesitated for a moment before following Liu Chang’an.

By the lakeside, there was a wooden bridge that stretched into the lake, with shallow water that allowed them to see the wooden pillars surrounded by water plants. They could see small blue fish swimming, and occasionally, broken snail shells would reflect the light.

“Why did you ask White Dew if I was attending today’s activity?” Liu Chang’an asked Zhao Wuqiang.

“It’s just that there are many people, and it’s lively. We’re almost graduating, and we should gather and see each other one last time. Who knows when we’ll see each other again?” Zhao Wuqiang said, looking at the rippling water with a hint of sigh.

“You didn’t want White Dew to participate in the activity I’m attending, and you like White Dew.”

“What are you talking about? Even if I like White Dew, what does it have to do with you?”

Liu Chang’an leaned on the railing, turned around, and said: “You told Ma Shilong my address, but it’s clear you didn’t know if Ma Shilong would do anything to me. You asked White Dew to find me to see if I had encountered any problems. If I had been beaten up badly, I wouldn’t be here today.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Zhao Wuqiang said, his eye muscles twitching.

“I was just guessing, and I’m good at noticing suspicious things. Seeing your reaction, I can judge that my guess wasn’t wrong.” Liu Chang’an said indifferently, “In three years of being classmates, we’ve met lovely girls and lovely classmates, and there’s also you, a little bad egg.”

Little bad egg? Zhao Wuqiang felt a chill run down his spine, but the most important thing was that he wouldn’t admit it. He laughed coldly: “Liu Chang’an, you shouldn’t speak nonsense. You got yourself into trouble by finding Ma Shilong, and it has nothing to do with me. Do you have any evidence?”

“I’m not a police officer, so I don’t need evidence… I’m just talking reason.” Liu Chang’an shook his head.

“You want to talk reason, but you need evidence. Without evidence, you can’t do anything,” Zhao Wuqiang said, looking at White Dew, who was secretly glancing over.

“You think you’re who? You think you can get all the beautiful girls’ attention?” Zhao Wuqiang suddenly exploded in anger, “You stay away from White Dew!”

Zhao Wuqiang knew that if Liu Chang’an weren’t standing there, White Dew wouldn’t have glanced over even once. What made Liu Chang’an get so much attention from all those beautiful girls?

“No, without evidence, it’s naturally only speculation. I’m a person who talks reason,” Liu Chang’an said, hoping Zhao Wuqiang could also talk reason. “Yesterday, Ma Shilong came to my place with five people, holding baseball bats. If I had been beaten up, I probably wouldn’t have been able to take the college entrance exam.”

“What does this have to do with me? You’re fine now, aren’t you?” Zhao Wuqiang sneered.

Liu Chang’an looked regretful: “You’re not willing to talk reason. I still want to tell you that, outside the law, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, is one of the fairest principles in the world. So, if I made you unable to take the college entrance exam, it would be fair, wouldn’t it?”

“What makes you think you can make me unable to take the exam?” Zhao Wuqiang looked at Liu Chang’an impatiently.

Liu Chang’an slapped the railing on the bridge!

“Boom!”

The wooden bridge suddenly collapsed, and Zhao Wuqiang fell into the water with a scream. A broken wooden plank flew up and heavily hit down, and Zhao Wuqiang instinctively raised his hand to block it.

“Ah!”

Liu Chang’an jumped into the water, shouting: “Help! Someone’s hurt! The bridge collapsed!”

In this day and age, the quality of public facilities in scenic areas still needs to be improved. Zhao Wuqiang would never believe that Liu Chang’an had slapped the bridge and made it collapse, right? Liu Chang’an was extremely anxious and selflessly saved Zhao Wuqiang, who was struggling in the water.
