Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 618 July

Li Zhuangsheng looked back and saw Lu Qian's ferocious expression.

Li Zhuangsheng subconsciously protected Hu Mengdie behind him to prevent her from doing anything irrational.

Lu Qian glared at the two men with trembling face, then turned around and kicked the electric bike down with one foot, then rushed over and kicked it hard with a roar, then picked up a stone from the roadside and smashed it hard on the bike.

"...Hey, what are you doing!" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a while before realizing that the other party was smashing his car, and he quickly shouted to stop him.

But Li Zhuangsheng was not a brainless person. In view of the stone in the other party's hand and his excited expression at the moment, he did not approach rashly.

Lu Qian did not stop until he had completely smashed Li Zhuangsheng's electric bike into pieces, with the headlights and plastic casing broken. He then stopped, sweating profusely, and looked at the two men, panting and with a ferocious expression.

He really didn't understand how he was worse than Li Zhuangsheng. Why did Hu Mengdie prefer to ride the other's electric car rather than his Porsche?
Lu Qian had had several relationships in middle school, but no girl could give him such a wonderful feeling as Hu Mengdie. He vowed to pursue Hu Mengdie since he entered school. Although she kept rejecting him, he could clearly feel that Hu Mengdie's attitude towards him was gradually softening. He felt that he had a good chance!
Even yesterday, Lu Qian placed candles downstairs of Hu Mengdie's building to confess his love. Although Hu Mengdie still refused, she expressed her gratitude to him with a moved look on her face, and the expression on her face clearly showed that she was shaken.

He had wanted to make a final effort today, but he unexpectedly saw Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie walking into the wonton shop affectionately, and feeding each other intimately after they came out. This made him feel like he had gone from heaven to hell in an instant, and he was extremely sad and angry!
He just couldn't understand why someone as affectionate as him couldn't win Hu Mengdie's true love!
It must be this Li Zhuangsheng. He was about to win over Hu Mengdie, but it was Li Zhuangsheng who used sweet words on her! Hu Mengdie, you are so confused. What future can such a poor guy give you?
"Why did you smash my car?"

In comparison, Li Zhuangsheng was much calmer, although he still felt a little angry that his car was smashed for no reason.

"How much money, I will pay!"

Lu Qian gritted his teeth, dragged his tired body to his Porsche, opened the door, took out a wad of money and threw it on the ground.

He glared at Li Zhuangsheng provocatively, his heart dead, trying to use this method to redeem himself from his current miserable state.

Seeing the other party being so rude, even the good-tempered Li Zhuangsheng was a little irritated, but before he could speak, Hu Mengdie stepped forward quickly and said coldly: "Apologize and pick up the money!"

Lu Qian's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and refused to move.

"I said, pick up the money and give it to him!" Hu Mengdie's voice became increasingly severe.

Lu Qian still held his head high.

Hu Mengdie's face turned cold, and she was about to make the next move, but Li Zhuangsheng, who was standing by, was quick to grab Hu Mengdie's hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry..."

"Let me go!"

Seeing that Li Zhuangsheng was still struggling with Hu Mengdie, Lu Qian roared forward again and used his last bit of strength to push Li Zhuangsheng away.

However, the next second, with a loud slap, Lu Qian covered his face with a look of disbelief.

I'm helping you, why don't you know what's good for you... Li Zhuangsheng sighed helplessly in his heart, turned sideways, and slightly blocked Hu Mengdie.

"I'll say it again, pick up the money and give it to him!" Hu Mengdie's face was as cold as water.

Lu Qian's body was shaking, with a heartbroken expression.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay...don't get excited."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled bitterly and gently patted Hu Mengdie's arm to comfort her. Then he bent down and picked up the money himself. Fortunately, it was sunny tonight and there was no wind. Li Zhuangsheng quickly picked up all the money, then took out a dozen bills from the original purchase of the car, and put the rest of the money on the roof of the Porsche.

"My car didn't cost much, I'll return the rest to you," said Li Zhuangsheng.

"Let's call the police." Hu Mengdie suggested.

"Oh, forget it..."

Li Zhuangsheng was merciful when he could. He felt that Lu Qian was such a clownish person at the moment, there was no need to kill him.

"Did you see the difference?" Hu Mengdie looked at Lu Qian coldly.

"Okay, okay, you go back to the dormitory first!" Li Zhuangsheng patted Hu Mengdie's arm gently.

"I don't want to see you again."

After saying this, Hu Mengdie left without even looking back, taking Li Zhuangsheng's hand.

At the dormitory door, Hu Mengdie looked apologetic: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect him to cause you so much trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and said, "I don't really care anymore."

Although he was a little angry at first, it had already disappeared with Hu Mengdie's slap. He just felt that Hu Mengdie had a hard time, being pestered by such an emotionally unstable young man.

It's really worrying.

"Actually, I'm really annoyed with him, but I usually tolerate it. I didn't expect that he would actually attack you!" Hu Mengdie said angrily.

"Hey... that's because you're too charming, haha!" Li Zhuangsheng laughed dryly, "That's not your problem. There are a lot of people chasing after you, but few of them are like him!"

"I'm really sorry today." Hu Mengdie lowered her head deeply again.

"It's really nothing. I don't worry at all!" Li Zhuangsheng shook his head vigorously and said with concern, "But you, you better be careful next time!"

"Yes, I will!" Hu Mengdie nodded, "You have to be careful too. I'm worried that he might cause trouble for you."

"It's okay, it's all right. It's broad daylight. China has laws, okay?"

Hu Mengdie finally smiled again: "I'm afraid that you will forgive him after being beaten up!"

Li Zhuangsheng also laughed and said, "I'm not stupid!"

"That's hard to say!" Hu Mengdie laughed.

"But you, don't be so impulsive next time. What if he gets angry and wants to fight back?"

"It's okay. I'm a beautiful girl. Who would hit a beautiful girl?" Hu Mengdie blinked. "Besides, I still have you! If someone wants to bully me, you will protect me, right?"

"...Haha, who dares to bully you?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, "You are so beautiful, who would have the heart to bully you?"

Of course, if someone wants to bully Hu Mengdie, he will try his best to stop it.

"That's just what you say!" Hu Mengdie glared at Li Zhuangsheng, "You bully me often!"

"When did I? The chocolate was just a joke. A bite of chocolate doesn't have many calories."

"Every moment, including now..."

Hu Mengdie stared at Li Zhuangsheng with her beautiful eyes and spoke in a deep voice. Li Zhuangsheng did not dare to look directly at her and turned away.

"Then you go back. I also want to go back to school." Li Zhuangsheng said.

"Well, how are you going to get back?"

"Let's take a taxi. I don't want to bother. It's almost graduation season. I'll go to Tieba and QQ group tomorrow to ask if there are any second-hand electric bikes for sale. I'll buy another one."

"You are so rich, why not just buy a car?" "I don't like driving. It's easy to be distracted." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and smiled, "But I will urge Li Xiuyu to get a driver's license, and buy her a car in the future and let her be my driver."

"Well, be careful on the road..." Hu Mengdie said softly, "Hey, do you want to go up and sit for a while?"

"Eh?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. This is the girls' dormitory. How did you get in?"

"Haha, I'm leaving now. Be careful at school. If there's any problem, call the police or notify me immediately."

"I know. Don't worry too much." Hu Mengdie smiled and winked. "Except for you, no one can bully me."

……

Li Zhuangsheng watched Hu Mengdie enter the dormitory, then turned and left.

"Hey, classmate, what's your relationship with Hu Mengdie?" a girl passing by spoke.

"Oh, friend."

Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand and looked for Lu Qian's figure, but the Porsche had disappeared.

He sighed inexplicably, remembering the time behind the Xingpeng Canteen when Hu Mengdie stood in front of him and beat up the thugs who were causing trouble for him.

It’s a pity that I didn’t appreciate it at that time. Instead, I said some very excessive words afterwards.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Zhuangsheng murmured softly.

……

The studio gradually got on track, and after a period of adjustment, the animation's art style was finally determined. Rong Hongguang and Qian Feishu completed the storyboards for all five episodes of the animation, and after discussions and revisions in meetings, the final draft was also completed.

As time went on, the studio was basically full and animation production was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Li Zhuangsheng's life became more and more fulfilling. He still often went to the club with Li Xiuyu to exercise. Sometimes he would greet the old president and senior schoolmates when he saw them.

"Hmmmm...very good, very good!"

Li Zhuangsheng stared at the computer monitor and couldn't help but applaud.

After two months, five episodes of animation were roughly completed. The longest one was "Envoy to the Frontier", but it was only 1 minute and 12 seconds. However, since it was almost shot one by one, a lot of original drawings were drawn, and it took two and a half months to officially complete it.

It took two and a half months to produce five episodes, which was far from Li Zhuangsheng's expectation of "one episode per week". But he was not worried, because at the beginning there were not enough people, the style was not determined, and everyone had no experience in making this kind of animation... so they kept grinding.

Now, the Zhuang Sheng Xun Die Studio has almost been run in, and Rong Hongguang is optimistic that producing one episode a week will not be a problem in the future.

"There are still some details to be tweaked, and we'll officially release it at the end of June." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile, "It's the summer vacation season. Our audience is on vacation now, so they have plenty of time."

Bai Min smiled and said, "It will be a few days later. The first ones to be released will be "Jiang Xue", "Qiu Xi" and "Tian Jing Sha". I will check them frame by frame!"

Since it is a super short story, one episode is too short, so after discussion among everyone, it was decided to release three episodes for the first time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Bai Min." Li Zhuangsheng looked at Rong Hongguang with a smile, "Senior Rong, when the time comes, go to Station B and contact a few up-loaders to help make an advertisement. The promotion fee will be paid by the company, and some media can also buy some advertisements."

"Well, I'll start contacting them in the next few days." Rong Hongguang said with a smile, "Our quality is here, it will definitely be a hit!"

"Who speaks the best Japanese?" Li Zhuangsheng thought for a moment.

"My Japanese level is N1." A boy wearing thick glasses raised his hand.

"Oh, yes. Then please contact the Japanese media."

"Japanese media?"

"News media related to animation are the best, but if you can't find any, any tabloid that no one reads will do." Li Zhuangsheng said, "We can also buy soft advertisements there, and the main point is to brag that we represent Chinese animation and Chinese aesthetics, and the Japanese can't compare to us. Then we can cooperate with domestic media to export and sell domestically. Now is 2016, we benefit the most from this kind of publicity."

"Wow, boss, you are so cunning!" Qian Feishu laughed.

"Haha, it's marketing. No matter how much advertising is put out, it can only let people know that there is such an animation. In the end, only quality can keep people."

"Our quality is absolutely up to standard!" Bai Min assured with dark circles under his eyes, patting his chest. "This is absolutely unprecedented in China!"

Rong Hongguang teased: "Indeed, there are not many animation companies in China that are willing to work for love regardless of cost."

All the employees laughed and the atmosphere was full of joy. No matter they were new or old employees, everyone liked the atmosphere of the studio. After all, the big boss was an easy-going person who could joke around and often invited everyone to dinner.

Besides, this company has no pressure to survive, and everyone knows that they are making a meaningful and unique animation.

"By the way, these few days are the finals, right?" Bai Min teased, "You spend all your time here, be careful not to fail the exam!"

"Uh..." Before Li Zhuangsheng could even make any expression, Qian Feishu's face was already drooping. "If I fail a course, will it affect my graduation?"

"What do you think?" Bai Min, who had just graduated, gloated, "Come on, junior!"

"Ahem, I'm sure I won't fail the exam..."

Li Zhuangsheng blinked, although he didn't have much confidence, after all, he usually played badly.

As he was speaking, Hu Mengdie walked into the company with a serious look on her face.

"Let's go find Xiu Yu and have lunch together this afternoon." Hu Mengdie smiled at Li Zhuangsheng.

"Well, okay." Li Zhuangsheng noticed that Hu Mengdie seemed to have something to say.

The two left the company, met up with Li Xiuyu, and had lunch at a buffet restaurant.

The three of them ate and chatted, but Hu Mengdie seemed to be in a bad mood, as if she had something to hide.

"Hu Mengdie, if you have something to say, just say it."

Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but speak, and Li Xiuyu also looked at Hu Mengdie.

Hearing this, Hu Mengdie sighed, pursed her lips, her face flushed, and she thought again and again: "Actually, I have a small favor to ask, I hope you can help me."

"If there's anything I can do, just ask!" Li Zhuangsheng patted his chest. "We have such a good relationship, why are you hesitating?"

Hu Mengdie took a deep breath, her face somewhat embarrassed, and after a long while, she mustered up the courage to say:

"...Can you be my boyfriend first?"
