Chapter 525 Closing the Net
Zhu Zhixue remained silent, holding Hu Mengdie's hand, and slowly let go.

"Zhu Zhixue, I really envy you, but I also really hate you. I hate you for making him suffer like this. You clearly know everything, but you still have the heart to torture him like this!"

Hu Mengdie had a complicated expression. She gritted her teeth, but in the end, it just turned into a silent sigh and looked at the other person with inexplicably sad eyes.

"I've done so much for him..." Zhu Zhixue's legs went weak and her lips stammered, "He still doesn't love me?"

"Love is not a thing that can be explained by so many reasons. You have done a lot for him. He will save you, he will marry you, and he will treat you well for the rest of his life... But you can't make him love you. Who can control his own heart?" Hu Mengdie said slowly, and suddenly changed the subject and asked directly, "Besides, do you really love Li Zhuangsheng?"

"Of course! I love him, I can die for him!" Zhu Zhixue said firmly.

"This is not necessarily love. Loving someone is not just about possession, not just about giving, but about caring about him wholeheartedly. Do you think that giving everything for him is love? Do you think that tying him to your side is love? I don't think so. So even if I am jealous to death, I will choose to let go, because I hope he can be at ease and happy more than myself. He saved me, and I also want to at least do something for him."

"……I do not believe!"

Zhu Zhixue was silent, dazed and helpless, and suddenly growled with red eyes.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Li Xiuyu should not be targeting you as much as before, right? You can definitely feel it." Hu Mengdie was unmoved by this excited attitude, and just said softly, "He is going to take the college entrance examination. At least for now, please don't bother him anymore. He is really tired enough."

Zhu Zhixue was speechless again, only feeling cold hands and feet. She felt lost, like a wet defeated dog. She was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, but in reality she could only lower her head in disgrace.

"It's okay, I'll leave now." Hu Mengdie turned around, "Now is the most critical moment, I believe you know your limits."

"Why did you break up?"

Zhu Zhixue's face turned pale and blue, and she felt exhausted all over.

"Don't worry, you won't encounter that problem." Hu Mengdie said.

All the preparations are sufficient. This adulterous couple will definitely follow her script in the end.

……

Today, Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue rarely skipped an evening study session. Li Zhuangsheng secretly took Zhu Zhixue to a sparsely populated park.

Zhang Qixiang had first brought him to this park, which was quiet and beautiful, with lush grass and willow trees. At that time, they were both in high school, and Li Zhuangsheng told Zhang Qixiang that this place was really nice and suitable for dating, and that he could bring his girlfriend here when he found one in the future.

When Li Zhuangsheng said that, he himself could not have imagined that he would be single for so long. But Zhang Qixiang has always had girlfriends, even though he was a loser than himself in high school!
Originally, Zhu Zhixue didn't want to skip classes, she didn't want to delay Li Zhuangsheng's studies. But Li Zhuangsheng had the opposite idea, he noticed that Zhu Zhixue was in a tense mood recently, so he wanted to help her relax.

"How about this place?" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile as they sat on the bench.

"Have you been here before?"

"I've only been here with Zhang Qixiang. He's the one who told me about it."

"Well, that's quite beautiful!" Zhu Zhixue kissed Li Zhuangsheng.

Li Zhuangsheng stood up: "Hey, wait for me!"

As he spoke, he took out a few boxes of fireworks from somewhere. These were not fireworks that could fly into the air, but rather fireworks that could be fired from the ground like fountains. After Li Zhuangsheng lit them, sparks flew everywhere, and they soared one or two meters high.

"So beautiful."

Zhu Zhixue sat quietly on a stone chair, looking at the fireworks in front of her. Li Zhuangsheng's figure was intertwined with the fireworks, and was dim.

She remembered a line from a Buddhist scripture: All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows.

After setting off the fireworks, Li Zhuangsheng took out two small cakes and gave one to Zhu Zhixue each.

"I'll keep it simple this time." Li Zhuangsheng said, holding Zhu Zhixue's hand, "Let's go for a walk. I know a very beautiful place! Let me tell you, I have another one..."

"Hey, I'm an adult today, right?" Zhu Zhixue looked at Li Zhuangsheng and smiled. "Well, you became an adult before me, congratulations, sister~" Li Zhuangsheng joked with a smile.

Zhu Zhixue held Li Zhuangsheng's hand, and leaned her chest against him, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, even a request: "So, I have grown up, right? Today, can I do bad things?"

Li Zhuangsheng pursed his lips and then smiled: "You did something bad, didn't you?"

"Yes!" Zhu Zhixue smiled, her hands trembling slightly, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, then I'll take you to do bad things!" Li Zhuangsheng agreed without hesitation.

Twenty minutes later, the two walked into an Internet cafe.

Zhu Zhixue lowered her head and followed Li Zhuangsheng closely. The expectation in her eyes had completely disappeared, but when she raised her head again, there was still a hint of a smile on her face.

"Boss, turn on two machines. I need a double room!" said Li Zhuangsheng.

"Do you have an ID?"

"No."

"All night?"

"Yes, overnight."

The network administrator nodded, looked at Zhu Zhixue a few more times, and opened a private room for two people.

He was quite familiar with Internet cafes, having been there several times in high school, and knew that the warning signs on the wall that said "No minors allowed in Internet cafes" were just for show. When he and Li Xiuyu went out to play in college, they would sleep in Internet cafes when they ran out of money.

"You've never been to an Internet cafe before, right?" Li Zhuangsheng took Zhu Zhixue's hand and walked into the private room.

"Yeah, it's my first time here, and I didn't expect that they don't require an ID card!" said Zhu Zhixue.

"To make money." Li Zhuangsheng smiled. "I don't come here often. Good students don't come here. Sometimes the police come to patrol the Internet cafe! Since you want to do bad things, let's do bad things together!"

You know, that's not what I'm talking about. Zhu Zhixue thought to herself. She fiddled with the computer, as if only by diverting her attention would she not shed tears.

"Do you know how to use a computer?" Li Zhuangsheng came over, "Let me teach you."

Li Zhuangsheng taught Zhu Zhixue step by step, and Zhu Zhixue forced a smile on her face and joked with Li Zhuangsheng. Finally, Li Zhuangsheng found a movie "Digimon" for Zhu Zhixue to watch, while he randomly turned on a movie without doing anything.

Not long after, Zhu Zhixue stuck her head out again and stared at the movie on Li Zhuangsheng's computer screen.

"Want to watch together?" Li Zhuangsheng asked with a smile.

Zhu Zhixue sat on Li Zhuangsheng's sofa chair. The two of them squeezed in the small space. Zhu Zhixue's legs were half pressed on Li Zhuangsheng. Li Zhuangsheng turned up the volume of the headset to the maximum.

Zhu Zhixue said she wanted to watch a romantic movie, so Li Zhuangsheng showed her "Those Years". The last time he watched this movie was in the first year of high school, and after watching the movie, Li Zhuangsheng specially bought the original novel.

After watching "Those Years" while leaning in Li Zhuangsheng's arms, Zhu Zhixue wanted to watch a comedy, so Li Zhuangsheng played his favorite "Lost on Journey".

Li Zhuangsheng always thought that "Lost on Journey" was the funniest comedy movie he had ever seen. When he rewatched it many years later, he would laugh out loud from time to time.

However, halfway through, Zhu Zhixue fell asleep on him.

Li Zhuangsheng noticed this, turned off the sound, and kissed her gently on the face.
