Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 568

Hu Mengdie didn't know the details of the meeting between Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue on the night they traveled through time. She just heard Li Zhuangsheng say that Zhu Zhixue gave him a lock made of gold as a wedding gift. The lock seemed to be quite heavy.

She did not doubt Li Zhuangsheng's words. The piece of gold must be of great value to be mentioned by Li Zhuangsheng many times.

But the two hadn't been in contact for almost ten years. When they met again ten years later, Zhu Zhixue prepared a piece of gold for her and didn't say anything else?

That night, Zhu Zhixue must have said something very important, so important that Li Zhuangsheng blamed all of her misfortunes over the years on himself.

Zhu Zhixue can do this, and so can Yi Yunshui. The best way to deal with Li Zhuangsheng is moral kidnapping, so she must take action, not only to show her "reliable" side in front of Li Zhuangsheng, but also to avoid the emergence of a second Zhu Zhixue.

Moreover, Yi Yunshui is different from Zhu Zhixue. Zhu Zhixue is thin-skinned, but Yi Yunshui has no scruples. As she said, she will do whatever it takes.

Yi Yunshui was stunned by Hu Mengdie, but finally calmed down after being scolded, and ate rice soaked in tears in silence. Li Zhuangsheng couldn't bear it, so he signaled to Li Xiuyu with his eyes.

Li Xiuyu rolled his eyes in annoyance and picked up some food for Yi Yunshui, who ate silently.

The place where he was bitten in the morning was still painful, but the reason why Li Zhuangsheng tolerated Yi Yunshui so much was mainly because he felt that he should be responsible for Yi Yunshui's later life.

Becoming a real-life yandere is too scary, and it is hard to say whether he will be happy or miserable. But in short... it is definitely better to marry Hu Mengdie!
After dinner, Yi Yunshui insisted on washing the dishes. Li Zhuangsheng had no choice but to signal Li Xiuyu to wash the dishes with him. He returned to the sofa to watch Taro.

"Why are you back?" Li Zhuangsheng hadn't looked at him for two minutes when Li Xiuyu came out of the kitchen and sat down next to him.

"Someone helped." said Li Xiuyu.

Li Zhuangsheng stretched his neck and saw Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui in the kitchen.

"What a joke... I really admire you!" Li Zhuang slapped his thigh and lamented his family's misfortune, "How dare you let two guests cook for you and wash dishes for you!"

"She insisted on brushing, so I had to obey them." Li Xiuyu shrugged, "Since they all want to enter my house, then they should show their performance!"

"Oh, stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh, you're embarrassed!" Li Xiuyu grinned, with a strange teasing in his smile, "I really can't believe that you have captured all the pretty girls in the school. You are the real school hunk. You are worthy of being the school hunk."

"I'll beat you up if you keep talking nonsense!" Li Zhuangsheng swung his fist, but his arm hurt so he put it down.

He once deceived himself into thinking that Yi Yunshui's affection for Li Xiuyu should be due to Li Xiuyu's face...but the truth is not what one wishes.

"Hey, don't you like the type of Xiao Long Nu?"

"I like your sister-in-law!"

"Sister Zhu Zhixue, or Sister Lin Yuehua, or Sister Hu Mengdie?"

"What does Hu Mengdie have to do with me!"

"Oh, so you mean that you acknowledge Lin Yuehua as your sister-in-law?"

"Don't catch me saying something wrong. I mean, you have some reason to mention Lin Yuehua! After all, you've said a lot of nonsense to her, but Hu Mengdie and I are innocent, okay!"

At least compared to Hu Mengdie now, he is still innocent.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart. However, Yi Yunshui's appearance should be the type you like, both have flat chests."

"How can you tell that I like flat-chested girls?"

"In your Anshi Rebellion, there is a separate folder called 'Momotani Erika'. Yi Yunshui and that person look quite similar."

"At most 30% similar... And isn't it a bit disrespectful to compare your friend with someone in that profession! I think she looks more like Hirosue Ryoko!"

In fact, Li Zhuangsheng thinks Yi Yunshui is more like Liang Sen, but she hasn't made her debut yet...she should have just graduated from high school.

"You are discriminating professionally! You really look down on others, but you still save their videos and watch pirated copies without spending a penny! Shame on you!"

"Then you just tore me apart, isn't that even more shameless!"

Li Xiuyu groaned and lay on Li Zhuangsheng's waist: "Is it because Yi Yunshui is not as flat as Lin Yuehua that you don't like her?"

Li Zhuangsheng was furious: "What are you talking about! It seems that the flatter it is, the better I like it! According to what you said, I should like Yang Junxiao the most!"

"She's so young, is this a warning of a crime? How do you know she won't grow up?!"

"I can tell fortunes, and I can tell that she won't grow up!"

Li Xiuyu squinted his eyes and lay on Li Zhuangsheng's body, silent for a long time. Then he pulled Li Zhuangsheng's shoulders apart: "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore."

……

In the kitchen, Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui were both washing dishes silently.

"You should go home soon. If you stay any longer, it will be difficult for you to come here in the future." Hu Mengdie said slowly.

Yi Yunshui didn't say anything.

"Even if Li Zhuangsheng doesn't bother with you, Xiu Yu will definitely hate you." Hu Mengdie smiled slightly, "You have been together for a longer time, so you should know Xiu Yu better than I do. The person you hurt was her brother."

Yi Yunshui still didn't say anything, but stopped moving his hands.

"In fact, you won't commit suicide. You just know that Li Zhuangsheng is a gentle person and will not leave you alone when you are hurt. You are using his gentleness to force him. This is a kind of blackmail."

"You know, he simply doesn't like you, but you use your past experiences to provoke him. You don't really care whether Li Zhuangsheng likes you or not, you just want to possess his tenderness, to take care of you like he took care of Zhu Zhixue."

"As for feelings, after being together for a long time, how can there really be no feelings at all? He is with you, so he belongs to you from now on." Hu Mengdie put down the washed chopsticks with a smile, "People like you are really selfish."

"What about you?" Yi Yunshui raised his head and asked, "What's the difference between you and me?"

Hu Mengdie was stunned, and a little anger rose in her heart. She didn't expect Yi Yunshui to dare to refute her. She hated this behavior, just like a lowly maid on the street who dared to question the legitimate wife! What a disgusting usurpation!

"Of course I'm different from you." Hu Mengdie left the kitchen.

He and I are a real couple, so who are you?
Hu Mengdie returned to the living room, and Li Zhuangsheng quickly stood up: "Oh, I'm sleepy again. I'm going to go back to my room and sleep for a while. You three can play! I'll sleep for a while. If the fever doesn't go away, I'll go to the clinic for an IV drip!"

Of the thirty-six strategies, retreat is the best. Fortunately, he now has a perfect excuse.

Li Zhuangsheng fled back to the bedroom, closed the door, and silently checked his phone. As for the three girls outside the door, they would definitely not fight again.

Li Xiuyu was a cold person, and Hu Mengdie was a gentle person, neither of them would have a conflict with Yi Yunshui. Maybe after he left, Yi Yunshui and Hu Mengdie would have already left.

He opened Pudding Animation when he was bored. Before, he prioritized studying, but now that he has graduated, he should be able to watch some ACG movies. After all, he has no other hobbies, and the Internet now is far less interesting than the future.

The homepage of Pudding recommends "Summer Wars", which is very suitable for this season.

Summer Wars is Li Zhuangsheng's favorite animated film besides Hayao Miyazaki. Although this story has a love line, it does not fall into the cliché of love. The ending is also good, with both separation and rebirth.

The background story is very interesting, telling a story about a not-too-distant future world where people can register a Q version account to log in to a huge virtual world. It's a bit like the metaverse.

When he first read it, he felt that this world was quite far away, but as a person from the future, he thought about it again and felt that it was not that far away. He once knew an employee of Yushu, who was one of his readers. The other party joked that in ten years, we might be able to enter a communist society.

Outside the house, cicadas are chirping.

Li Zhuangsheng did not open Summer Wars. Instead, after searching for a while, he quit Pudding Animation without interest, read a novel for a while, and fell asleep again.

He took another dose of medicine. Originally, the medicine was taken twice a day, so this was considered an increase in dosage. This was not a good habit, but in order to make Li Xiuyu feel relieved sooner, this move was necessary.

He didn’t know why, but he could dream even during his nap. He dreamed of Zhu Zhixue. He dreamed of Zhu Zhixue sitting by the lake… It was the Xiangshan Lake of the future, surrounded by a green fence.

No one knew how she got in. Anyway, she just sat quietly by the lake, eating the hamburger and milk tea that Li Zhuangsheng bought for her at KFC.

The sky was dark, but the ground was bright because it was covered with snow.

She finished her food and looked back, as if waiting for someone who wouldn't be there to stop her. But there was no one behind her, so she opened her arms and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Li Zhuangsheng watched her sink into the cold lake with indifference. He told himself that he shouldn't do this, but he still ignored it all.

Zhu Zhixue sank into the lake slowly without any struggle and slowly closed her eyes.

No, it shouldn't be like this... He walked over, as if wanting to give Zhu Zhixue artificial respiration.

On my lips, I felt the warm and soft touch, which seemed to carry a familiar fragrance.

Li Zhuangsheng opened his eyes, and the feeling on his mouth disappeared immediately.

Instead, Hu Mengdie looked somewhat guilty.

"Are you awake?" Hu Mengdie sat on the edge of the bed, acting as if nothing had happened.

Did she kiss me just now? Li Zhuangsheng wondered blankly.

"Are you still not awake?" Hu Mengdie waved her hand in front of Li Zhuangsheng.

"Yeah, I'm awake." Li Zhuangsheng propped himself up and licked his lips, as if there was a familiar sweet taste.

He looked at Hu Mengdie again and opened his mouth, but what came out was: "...What time is it?"

"It's past four o'clock." Hu Mengdie said with a smile.

"Is she gone?"

"Yi Yunshui? She left. I had to work very hard to persuade her to leave!" Hu Mengdie smiled and poured a glass of water for Li Zhuangsheng. "Have a drink. The water is warm."

"Well, thank you." Li Zhuangsheng took the cup of water, took a sip, looked at Hu Mengdie, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Hu Mengdie asked, tilting her head.
Did you kiss me just now? Li Zhuangsheng wanted to grab Hu Mengdie's arm and shake it.

"Nothing..." Li Zhuangsheng lowered his head.

"Oh, by the way, I see that you are frowning. Did you have a nightmare?" Hu Mengdie asked with concern.

"It seems like... Hey, what did I dream about just now?"

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head.

"Just forget it, since it wasn't a good dream."

"I always feel that it should be a very sad dream."

"You didn't have a nightmare because of Yi Yunshui's matter, did you?" Hu Mengdie smiled, "Don't think too much, she just wanted to scare you, she wouldn't really think too much about it!"

"Well...I hope so."

In fact, Li Zhuangsheng was thinking of Zhu Zhixue, and he wanted to see her very much now.

"You, always flirting with other girls..." Hu Mengdie gently nodded Li Zhuangsheng's head, with a dissatisfied and angry tone in her voice.

"I swear to God, if I had ever flirted with her, I..." Li Zhuangsheng almost swore, but fortunately he didn't say it out loud.

Strictly speaking, was writing that letter considered flirting? Oh, my meddling in other people's affairs back then actually brought me such a trouble.

However, even if time could go back and he returned to junior high school, he would still encourage Yi Yunshui...but he would handle it better, for example, by asking Li Xiuyu to join him.

"What's the matter? You can't say it?" Hu Mengdie smiled, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Li Zhuangsheng was embarrassed. Suddenly he saw a band-aid on Hu Mengdie's finger, so he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"Oh, it's okay." Hu Mengdie quickly retracted her hand.

"what is going on?"

The other party's attempt to cover up the truth only aroused Li Zhuangsheng's curiosity.

"It's nothing, really. It's just..." Hu Mengdie lowered her eyes, looking shy, "I got burned when I was cooking."

"Burn?" Li Zhuangsheng was slightly surprised.

"Oh, it's okay!" Hu Mengdie said with a smile, "It's my own fault that I'm not a good cook."

Li Zhuangsheng felt guilty and thought that if he hadn't had a fever today, he wouldn't have let Hu Mengdie cook.

He sighed: "I'm so sorry, today..."

"You really don't have to be like this. I don't blame you!"

"I know, but..."

"I am very happy to cook for you!"

"what?"

Hu Mengdie instantly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, her pretty face blushing: "I, I mean, I really like cooking!"

"Oh...oh." Li Zhuang nodded vigorously, "Indeed, cooking is quite interesting."

"Uh-huh!"

Hu Mengdie stole a glance at Li Zhuangsheng's expression, and the blush on her face became even more beautiful and charming. Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat and he wanted to kiss her.

Calm down! Calm down! Li Zhuangsheng secretly pinched his knuckles and finally calmed down.

"By the way, how did you get here today?" Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath.

"Oh, I came here by taxi. Why, do you want to take me home?" Hu Mengdie smiled playfully.

"Well... that's fine."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded.

Hu Mengdie was slightly delighted, but then she looked at Li Zhuangsheng hesitantly: "But you have a fever..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine now!"

"really?"

Hu Mengdie reached out her hand to touch Li Zhuangsheng's head with concern, but seemed to feel that this was not accurate enough, so she gently put her head against Li Zhuangsheng's forehead.

In an instant, the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
