Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 410 Going Home
"Hello?" Li Zhuangsheng said.

He didn't know how to start, but he secretly hoped that Hu Mengdie could tell him about Li Xiuyu's whereabouts.

"Li Xiuyu is missing?" Hu Mengdie said, "I just heard about it. Yi Yunshui even asked me if I had seen her."

"Well, has she contacted you?" Li Zhuangsheng asked softly.

In fact, he did not have high expectations for Hu Mengdie. If the future Hu Mengdie could help him, she might be able to help him. But since the original Hu Mengdie returned, she and Li Xiuyu were not as close as before. Besides, what could a high school student do?

Li Zhuangsheng asked this question simply because he was holding on to that one in ten thousand chance of success.

"No, I'm not feeling well today. I was in the infirmary this morning, you know."

"Oh, yes, that's right." Li Zhuangsheng felt slightly disappointed, although it was within his expectations.

"Why did Li Xiuyu disappear? Your parents are not at home. Did you have a fight with her?" Hu Mengdie asked again.

"...I guess so." Li Zhuangsheng nodded slightly. He was in a low mood at the moment and had no time to explain.

Hu Mengdie hesitated for a moment and said, "I just called her, but her phone was turned off."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded: "I called her too, it seems her phone is indeed turned off... I don't know where she went?"

"What did you quarrel about?"

"..." Li Zhuangsheng was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

Was she angry because I was with Zhu Zhixue last night?

"What places did you look for? Have you looked for all the places she might have been?"

"I have looked everywhere in the country and the surrounding area, and asked many people, but no one has seen her."

Li Zhuangsheng's voice became increasingly melancholy.

He just rode his electric scooter and asked many pedestrians and shop assistants on the street with Li Xiuyu's photo. Unfortunately, no one had seen him.

Li Xiuyu's appearance was extremely outstanding and very recognizable. If she really appeared in front of others, she would definitely leave an impression in their minds.

"Really..." Hu Mengdie pondered for a moment.

"Well, I'll hang up first. I'll look for it again. You go to class, don't worry, I'll find it." Li Zhuangsheng said distractedly and was about to hang up the phone.

"Will it be, in your hometown?"

Hu Mengdie said suddenly.

"My hometown?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"I wrote something in my notebook. That's what Li Xiuyu said to my future self... Anyway, why don't you go visit your hometown?"

"what's up?"

"I can't say for sure. After all, I'm not her, and what she wrote was rather vague. Anyway, she might have gone back to her hometown."

Li Zhuangsheng pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you... Oh, by the way, what's wrong with your health?"

"Much better." Hu Mengdie hung up the phone and thought to herself, did you only remember to care about my health at the last minute?

She looked at the dark sky, a hateful smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Although Hu Mengdie didn't know where Li Xiuyu was hiding, her reminder to Li Zhuangsheng was not without purpose. When she was playing coquettish with Li Xiuyu before, she was taken as a close friend by this perverted brother-con man, and she also heard a lot of private things.

She just remembered one thing. Li Xiuyu spoke to her so carefully, as if a child was showing off his fragile treasure to his good friend.

Hu Mengdie guessed the reason, because Li Xiuyu had mentioned it before when he tried hard to hint to her that Li Zhuangsheng was a super sister-con. Although that was mostly Li Xiuyu's subjective opinion.

Perhaps she was a little too nervous. She still underestimated her sister-in-law's fighting ability.

It wasn't just Hu Mengdie who was hurt by Li Zhuangsheng last night, but also Li Xiuyu. She might be even angrier than herself.

There was a good show to watch.

Hu Mengdie leaned against the railing of the corridor, and a cool breeze blew from somewhere. Her hair blew as the bell rang. The quiet beauty of this moment made the head teacher, who was also a woman and was about to enter the class, slightly absent-minded.

She walked slowly back to the classroom as the bell rang, and suddenly thought of the fortune teller she met during the winter vacation. Although she didn't believe in it, maybe he was right about one thing.

Perhaps, there was really no need for him to do anything extra. Zhu Zhixue and Li Xiuyu were not people who could afford to suffer losses. With the fierceness of Li Xiuyu and Zhu Zhixue's struggle, they would definitely torture Li Zhuangsheng severely in the future.

In a few years, when Li Zhuangsheng becomes frustrated in the fight, it will be the best time for me to take action. Maybe I can easily get what I want.

Or was she too anxious, or did she not hold back... How could she hold back? Let her watch him and another woman in pairs?
How shameless and stupid you are, you want to hurt others and not benefit yourself. If you don't let me get what I want, what do you get?
Hu Mengdie thought bitterly in her heart.

……

Li Zhuangsheng searched the street for a while, and before he knew it, it was getting dark. He checked his phone and it was past five o'clock.

The cool breeze blew his collar, and he looked up, thinking it might rain soon. It was May, the rainy season.

He became more and more anxious and couldn't help but think of Hu Mengdie's words...Will Li Xiuyu really be in his hometown?
In fact, he didn't quite believe what Hu Mengdie said. There was no evidence at all. He was just guessing based on an event that had been recorded in his notebook.

But, I have asked around and no one has seen Li Xiuyu... Then let's go back home, Li Zhuangsheng thought.

If I can't find it when I return to my hometown, I can only notify my parents. I guess they will be off work by then.

Li Zhuangsheng clenched his fists and then hailed a taxi.

At that time, mobile payment was not very popular, and Li Zhuangsheng was in a hurry and did not have much cash in his pocket. However, he did not say anything, and only confronted the driver after the taxi stopped about 20 minutes later.

Fortunately, the neighbors in his hometown also recognized Li Zhuangsheng, so his aunt paid the fare for Li Zhuangsheng and allowed him to get off the bus.

"Why are you back? Don't you have classes today?" The aunt held Li Zhuangsheng's hand and spoke with concern.

"Well, I came back to get some things, you go and do your work, aunt." Li Zhuangsheng said goodbye to his aunt vaguely and walked towards the old house.

No mention was made of Li Xiuyu's running away from home.

His hometown was in a town under the jurisdiction of the county seat. Later, his hometown was well developed, with several supermarkets opened, including Mixue Ice City. However, the countryside was still relatively simple at that time, and it was quite quiet at night. The most common sounds in the air were barking dogs and children shouting.

Of course, this is much better than when he was a child. He went to kindergarten and first grade in the countryside, and moved to the county town after second grade. He remembered that electricity was quite expensive at that time. After school, the girl next door would take a small stool and sit at the door of her house while it was still light, and finish her homework quickly.
