Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 617 Feeding
"I feel a little upset, let's go for a walk." Hu Mengdie said, "I'll treat you to a meal."

"Okay." Li Zhuangsheng stepped on the footrest.

The two were walking and chatting on the road. It was not yet dark, just gloomy, but the street lights were already on.

"You've been working hard lately and have been busy with company matters," said Hu Mengdie.

"It's okay, it's just my first time setting up a company and the process is quite complicated," said Li Zhuangsheng.

"I heard that the company is called Zhuang Sheng Xun Die." Hu Mengdie smiled.

"Well, Zhuang Sheng Meng Die has been registered by someone."

"What, you don't want to avoid suspicion?" Hu Mengdie teased.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Zhuangsheng coughed dryly to hide his inner embarrassment.

"Let's go with this one." Hu Mengdie pointed to a wonton shop on the roadside. "This one tastes good. I come here often."

"Hey, you are here again, classmate." The lady boss greeted enthusiastically. Seeing Li Zhuangsheng beside her, she couldn't help but show her surprise, "This is the first time I see you bring a boy here."

Li Zhuangsheng looked up and Hu Mengdie smiled.

"Your partner?" asked the proprietress.

"Yeah." Hu Mengdie smiled.

"Eh..." Li Zhuangsheng was stunned.

"This proprietress is a bit nagging. It's really troublesome to explain her to her." Hu Mengdie said softly.

Li Zhuangsheng had no choice but to remain silent. The two ordered wontons and sat down to play with their phones.

"If it really doesn't work, let's tell the teacher." Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but say.

"You mean Lu Qian?" Hu Mengdie stretched out her voice, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. "Actually, there's no need to do that... He's a nice guy, and he's very enthusiastic in the club, but he's a little annoying sometimes."

Li Zhuangsheng frowned slightly.

"Well, it's up to you!" he said heavily, inadvertently.

Hu Mengdie curved her eyes but said nothing.

Soon, the proprietress brought two bowls of wontons, and Li Zhuangsheng picked up the spoon and started eating.

"The food here tastes pretty good," Li Zhuangsheng praised, although he felt it was just average.

"Right, I really like their wontons." said Hu Mengdie.

"There is a Qianlixiang Wonton restaurant in the county, right at the north end of the commercial area. You can go and try it when you have time. It has been open for almost twenty years... Oh, it's only been about ten years now." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

"Well, I know that restaurant. I've been there and it's delicious." Hu Mengdie nodded.

Li Zhuangsheng was slightly startled: "Have you ever been there to eat?"

Hu Mengdie smiled and asked back: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand.

Hu Mengdie had indeed eaten there, but it was the future Hu Mengdie. Li Zhuangsheng took her there.

When Li Zhuangsheng was in primary school, he often went to the supermarket there to read books, and when he was hungry, he would come out to eat wontons. But he remembered that when he took Hu Mengdie to eat Qianlixiang wontons before, Hu Mengdie said it was her first time.

There is no need for her to lie in the future... Perhaps Hu Mengdie said that she had eaten it in the last two years. The history of the past two years has long become a mess.

"Eat slowly." Hu Mengdie smiled as she watched Li Zhuangsheng eat one mouthful at a time, and said with a hint of anger, "Eating too fast is bad for your stomach. I remember you have gastritis."

"I don't eat that fast actually. You haven't seen Lin Yuehua, she's just wolfing down the food..." Li Zhuangsheng felt something was wrong while he was talking, so he slowly shut up.

Actually, it was a bit unfair to say this about Lin Yuehua, as she had already slowed down her eating speed. Unlike at the beginning, when Li Zhuangsheng had just taken a sip of soup, Lin Yuehua had already wolfed it down, which often made Li Zhuangsheng wonder if she was the reincarnation of a starving ghost who had died in the disaster.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I last saw Lin Yuehua, although she would post selfies to her QQ space every now and then for Li Zhuangsheng to "review".

"Really..." Hu Mengdie lowered her eyes, "I wonder how Lin Yuehua is doing. Is she doing well in Nanjing University?"

"It's good. I'm happy to balance study and club every day." Li Zhuangsheng said casually, "I also tried the guqin a few days ago."

"What club is she from?"

"The National Studies Society, they study all sorts of random things."

"National Studies Society..." Hu Mengdie grinned and took a deep breath, "There is no National Studies Society in our school. What activities does the National Studies Society in their school usually have?"

"A lot, for example, find a teacher to give a lecture, organize some literary gatherings, experience seal carving, guqin, calligraphy, cultural relics, etc., haha, and even learn to taste tea!" "Oh...that's it."

Hu Mengdie lowered her head. As expected, Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua had private contact, and a lot of contact, otherwise they might not know so many details.

She suppressed an unknown anger in her heart, but couldn't help spitting into the spoon and putting it back into the bowl.

"I'm done eating." said Hu Mengdie.

"Are you ready to eat now?"

Li Zhuangsheng looked at Hu Mengdie's bowl. There was at least half a wonton left.

Hu Mengdie smiled bitterly and said, "We dancers can't eat too much, otherwise we will be overweight and get scolded by the teacher!"

"Is it always like this?"

"Usually I would specifically order a small bowl, but I forgot today."

Li Zhuangsheng looked at Hu Mengdie's bowl with regret. He didn't like wasting food, and Hu Mengdie knew it.

"You have a big appetite, one bowl is definitely not enough." Hu Mengdie said with a smile, "I'll order another bowl for you."

“No, no…” Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand.

"It's indeed a bit of a waste to have so much left. Do you want some? If you don't mind, I'll scoop some out for you." Hu Mengdie gently stirred the bowl with a spoon, then looked at Li Zhuangsheng with a smile.

"...That's fine." Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Kissing the wontons one by one couldn't be considered an indirect kiss, right?

Hu Mengdie then picked up the spoon and scooped all the wontons in her bowl into Li Zhuangsheng's bowl. She waited quietly for Li Zhuangsheng to finish eating, and then the two left the restaurant.

"There are stars in the sky." Hu Mengdie pointed to the sky.

"Yes, there will be a starry sky in Autumn Eve." Li Zhuangsheng said, "I believe in Senior Bai Min's ability. She will definitely be able to paint it beautifully."

"I know what the five poems you chose mean." Hu Mengdie said with a smile.

"real or fake?"

"Let's make a bet. If I can tell you, you'll treat me to a meal next time. If I can't tell you... I'll treat you to a meal."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled evilly and said, "I don't want you to treat me to a meal. If you are wrong, you can have a piece of chocolate."

Hu Mengdie also laughed and punched Li Zhuangsheng lightly in the chest: "You are so bad, you deliberately want me to be scolded!"

"Don't you dare!"

"Why not? The poems you selected depict snow scenes, starry sky, sunset, and desert frontiers, which are five different styles of beauty. You want to use this method to let the company accumulate experience in making similar scenes, and you want to make a good first impression after releasing them, so as not to cause aesthetic fatigue, right?"

"You are right." Li Zhuangsheng was surprised that Hu Mengdie understood his thoughts. "Then what about the frontier songs?"

Hu Mengdie was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "This is because..."

"I can't say it!" Li Zhuangsheng was slightly proud. "In fact, I didn't consider writing Frontier Song and Envoy to the Frontier from the beginning. I originally planned to write "Looking at the Moon and Thinking of the Distant Home" and others. But I suddenly thought that the previous poems were too ethereal, soothing and melancholy, so I wanted to change the style. Especially the Frontier Song, the whole poem is tense, solemn and fast-paced, and the style is completely different from the previous ones."

"So that's how it is. It seems that I didn't guess right after all." Hu Mengdie sighed, looking frustrated.

"You're half right. Just take a bite." Li Zhuangsheng smiled and walked into a nearby convenience store, bought a piece of Dove chocolate, and proudly handed it to Hu Mengdie, "Eat it."

"Ah——" Hu Mengdie opened her mouth slightly.

"What are you doing? Can't you eat it yourself?"

"That's fine. It's not that I don't want to eat, but you are willing to give it up!" Hu Mengdie smiled cunningly.

"Hey, you're so cunning!" Li Zhuangsheng's eyes narrowed as he tore open the wrapping paper. "Hurry up, don't try to escape, open your mouth!"

"Ah——" Hu Mengdie opened her mouth again.

Li Zhuangsheng then reached out and handed the chocolate to Hu Mengdie's mouth, and Hu Mengdie took a light bite.

"It's so sweet... I'm going to gain weight again!" Hu Mengdie complained coquettishly while eating chocolate.

"Can you gain weight with just one bite?" Li Zhuangsheng looked proud.

"If I get scolded, it's your fault!" Hu Mengdie took the remaining chocolate, took it out, and stuffed it into Li Zhuangsheng's mouth. "You have to take responsibility and get fat with me!"

"You, you!"

Suddenly, a trembling voice sounded behind the two of them, and in that voice was suppressed anger that could not be concealed.
