I’m really immortal Chapter 98

Liu Chang’an and Zhou Dongdong finally had a chance to enjoy their goose dish in the evening. Liu Chang’an arranged the leftover goose bones into a dinosaur-like fossil, which he named “Heavenly Goose”.

Meanwhile, Zhou Dongdong occupied Liu Chang’an’s recliner, lazily holding her belly and lying down. When Zhou Shuling returned, she was shocked to see the rounded Zhou Dongdong. “How much did you eat tonight?” she asked.

“Hmm… I don’t know…” Zhou Dongdong replied with a happy smile.

Liu Chang’an came out of the bathroom, bare-chested and wearing a loose pair of pants, with a towel wrapped around his head. He saw Zhou Shuling, who was wearing light makeup and jewelry. “Don’t you worry that she’ll burst her belly?” Zhou Shuling asked, placing a few peaches in front of Liu Chang’an.

Zhou Dongdong saw the peaches and struggled to reach out, but then pulled her hand back. “I have a count in my heart, and I can still eat a bowl,” Liu Chang’an said, wiping the peaches clean and taking a bite.

Zhou Shuling wasn’t really blaming Liu Chang’an. Life was difficult, and it was normal to encounter rough people. It was the occasional kindness and warmth from neighbors that made life more bearable and prevented one from completely losing faith in human nature.

“I’ll send you some midnight snacks later, with fresh and chilled small dragon prawns,” Zhou Shuling said with a smile, hugging the exhausted Zhou Dongdong.

“Thanks,” Liu Chang’an replied casually.

Later that night, Liu Chang’an went to Auntie’s place and bought a bottle of wine. He sat under the wutong tree, eating the dragon prawns sent by Zhou Shuling and listening to the radio. This was one of the most joyful scenes in life, as described by Ren Changhong.

The radio was taken from Lao Lan’s wooden box, with the brand “DeSheng TECSUN” and a loud, resonant sound. It still worked even after inserting batteries, and Junsha had several radio stations that were quite good.

Last time, Liu Chang’an asked Lao Lan for some information, but he hadn’t received any news. Liu Chang’an felt a bit disappointed, thinking that if only he could remember everything like a computer, that would be great… However, if that were the case, Liu Chang’an thought, it wouldn’t be a good thing either.

Liu Chang’an wasn’t in a hurry and would wait for a while before asking again. He was confident in his ability to be patient and wouldn’t give up easily. After finishing the dragon prawns, Liu Chang’an picked up a tree branch and stirred the water in the pit. Many loaches swam in, but they couldn’t escape. Liu Chang’an wasn’t keeping them as pets, but rather ensuring that the surrounding environment wouldn’t be affected.

The loaches had become plump under Zhou Dongdong’s regular feeding, and they didn’t have any self-awareness. Liu Chang’an thought that if he could be like a computer, remembering every small detail, that would be great… However, he realized that forgetting was also a self-protection mechanism of the brain, and it wasn’t a desirable thing to remember everything.

Liu Chang’an squatted down and examined the small red dot on the coffin’s edge. He thought that the coffin was quite cunning, but he couldn’t recognize it. “You know what’s best, and it’s not stupid. However, do you know that no matter whether it’s a centipede or a small hen, or even a large goose, they’re all better off being cooked?” Liu Chang’an said to the coffin.

The coffin remained silent and still, as if it had been there for eternity, ignoring Liu Chang’an’s words.

“I wonder if we can recognize each other. From ancient times to the present, I know many people with great names. If you’re a beautiful and lovely woman, that would be even better…” Liu Chang’an thought, then shook his head. “You, this coffin, are quite strange, but your aura isn’t even comparable to that of Zeng Yi. I don’t recognize you…”

It was indeed difficult to judge someone’s background based on their appearance. There were many cases of important people being buried in simple coffins due to special reasons. Moreover, this coffin had undergone the “Sealing the Soul” ritual.

Liu Chang’an didn’t feel bored and continued to talk to himself. He then closed the car door and went back home, where he spent the whole night working on a dress for Ann Wan.

Anything that required precision took a lot of time and effort, just like the intricate embroidery on the qipao. Liu Chang’an worked on it all night and finished it by dawn. He then put it in a plastic bag and took it to school.

Liu Chang’an waited for Ann Wan at the school entrance. When Ann Wan saw him, she revealed a somewhat nervous expression, and her face turned red as she slowly approached him.

Liu Chang’an smiled, and Ann Wan also smiled, then turned her head, punched Liu Chang’an lightly, and smiled again.

“Actually, I think your mom’s idea is good. She’s quite understanding of the situation with high school students. After graduation, many people relax and enter a period of indulgence, and accidents often happen…” Liu Chang’an spread his hands, “Accidents, you know what I mean?”

“You’ll know what accidents mean if you keep talking about this topic,” Ann Wan replied calmly, smiling at Liu Chang’an.

She knew that Liu Chang’an wouldn’t miss the opportunity to tease her, and that he wasn’t being serious.

“There’s another version, do you know it?” Liu Chang’an asked.

Ann Wan was curious but also afraid that Liu Chang’an might be hiding something and waiting for her to fall into a trap, which had happened many times before.

“Some moms would let their daughters undergo minor cosmetic surgery during the summer break, like rhinoplasty or eye surgery, to keep them at home willingly.”

Ann Wan thought carefully and nodded; this was indeed a more reliable method than asking someone to undergo circumcision.

“You mom should have thought of that, but she couldn’t do anything about it. You’re too perfect, with no flaws, so she had to ask me to undergo circumcision instead,” Liu Chang’an sighed, “All because of your perfection, which made your mom trouble me.”

Ann Wan bit her lip, trying not to laugh, and raised her fist, but gently put it down, recalling the sweet and happy moment when she leaned on Liu Chang’an’s shoulder. She snorted, “Liu Chang’an, you’re so annoying!”
