Chapter 656 Confession
Yi Yunshui blinked his eyes: "You...brother, are you going to see Zhu Zhixue this afternoon?"

"Yes, I've already told her." Li Zhuangsheng nodded and stretched out his hand to tickle the soles of Li Xiuyu's feet. "Why did you call her a wimp?"

Li Zhuangsheng knew where Li Xiuyu was most sensitive, so as soon as he made a move, Li Xiuyu's little feet bounced back as if they had been electrocuted, but then she kicked him back in shame and anger:
"Right, right, right. She's not a wimp. She's just a wimp!"

"What are you talking about? You are prejudiced against others!" Li Zhuangsheng wanted to clear Zhu Zhixue's name. Although he also felt that Zhu Zhixue was the type who would just start from the place where it was easy to fall.

"Am I wrong? She is the kind of coward who dares not speak out even if she finds out her husband is cheating on her!"

"..."

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless for a moment. What Li Xiuyu said was not wrong.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Li Xiuyu because he knows Zhu Zhixue too well. Zhu Zhixue is such a simple person. To put it nicely, she is simple or pure.

"So, there must be no problem with Zhu Zhixue." Yi Yunshui blinked his eyes, his tone inexplicable.

What she was thinking was, if Yi Yunshui came, where should she sleep? Li Zhuangsheng's bed was only 1.5 meters long, and it would be quite crowded for three people to sleep on it... it definitely couldn't accommodate four people.

Li Zhuangsheng remained silent, he didn't know what to say.

Unlike the bad woman Hu Mengdie, Zhu Zhixue was quite innocent, and he couldn't bear it. Moreover, he knew from the beginning that Hu Mengdie would not agree so easily, and he was ready to fight a protracted war for several years, but Zhu Zhixue... To be honest, he was not completely sure.

"It depends on the situation, but at least it won't get worse," said Li Zhuangsheng.

He had a lot to say to Zhu Zhixue, and there were some things he shouldn't hide from anymore.

After staying at home until nearly five o'clock, Li Zhuangsheng put on his schoolbag and went out. Passing by a small supermarket, he went in and bought two lollipops.

In a small restaurant near the school, Li Zhuangsheng pushed the door open and walked in. Zhu Zhixue had been waiting for a long time.

She was wearing a floral dress with a waist belt, which she tightened to make the originally majestic snow-capped mountain look even taller. Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but think of Songshan, which is actually the second lowest among the Five Mountains, but was named "high mountain" in ancient times because it was surrounded by plains, so it looked very majestic.

Of course, even without this belt, Zhu Zhixue's beauty is still spectacular enough. Doing this is nothing more than a finishing touch. It makes people unconsciously move their eyes to the key parts... Although when facing Zhu Zhixue, it is difficult for normal people to look elsewhere at first glance.

Zhu Zhixue's hair was just washed, it was very clean. For girls with long hair, washing hair is a very troublesome thing. Li Xiuyu takes a shower every day, but not every day. If a girl is willing to wash her hair to meet you, it means that she is very serious.

Seeing Li Zhuangsheng coming in, Zhu Zhixue stood up uneasily, blushing and lowering her head, feeling very embarrassed.

"Sorry, I'm late." said Li Zhuangsheng.

"No, I just arrived too..." Zhu Zhixue shook her head vigorously.

Li Zhuangsheng was indeed not late. The time he had agreed to meet was 5:30, but Zhu Zhixue arrived too early.

"It's so hot outside...it's cooler inside." Li Zhuangsheng sat down.

"Well, there is air conditioning here..."

"Yeah, it's really cool."

Li Zhuangsheng sighed, took out two Alpine lollipops from his pocket, and handed one to Zhu Zhixue. Zhu Zhixue was stunned for a moment, silently took the lollipop, then tore open the wrapper and put the hot candy with Li Zhuangsheng's body temperature into her mouth.

Actually, the sugar tastes a bit bad when it’s hot, but after holding it in your mouth for a while, it tastes pretty good.

"By the way, I received the computer." Li Zhuangsheng said, "Thank you, the computer you bought is really powerful. I can play games without any lags, it's so smooth!"

"Well, I listened to the advice of my senior... She originally said that 6700k is better for playing games, but 6800k is more versatile. I felt that you didn't play games all day, so you used 6800k..." Zhu Zhixue stammered.

"6800k is even more expensive!"

"Actually, I wanted to buy you a better monitor... but I have no money. I am doing tutoring this summer, and I want to buy you one..."

"No need. Actually, my current monitor is pretty good. It's also 2K, and the refresh rate is not low." Li Zhuangsheng smiled. "The host configuration can be lower, but the monitor is still better. The surface is glossy!"

Zhu Zhixue bit her lip and stopped talking. After a while, she said, "Actually, I also made a figurine of Ikaros and glued it inside the computer case."

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned: "You can also make figurines?"

"The senior from the comic research institute knows how to do it... I learned from her."

"Oh, I haven't..." Li Zhuangsheng wanted to say, I haven't noticed the figurine yet, but he changed his mind halfway through, "I haven't thought about it yet, that figurine was made by you."

"I wanted to do Rem, but I thought you might like Ikaros better."

"Indeed, I don't like Rem very much." Li Zhuangsheng nodded frequently, "You really know me. I like Ikaros the most, and Angewomon from Digimon is second!"

Rem is the most popular anime character this year, occupying about half of the two-dimensional world. But Li Zhuangsheng really doesn't like her. She is too otaku-friendly.

Of course, as a male-oriented harem anime, there is nothing wrong with flattering otakus, and Ikaros is also a flattering otaku character. It's just that Li Zhuangsheng felt that Rem's flattery was too deliberate, which made him feel a little distracted.

Of course, this is also because it is now 2016. Before this, male-oriented anime was also very popular. Who would have thought that male-oriented romance anime would be filled with a lot of toilet paper literature and many "Sayu"?

So much so that a blue-haired girl who licks a passerby's straw can become a phenomenal heroine. Although many old two-dimensional heroines can't be thought of carefully, but to this extent, it still makes people sweat.

He always thought that Kaga Kaori in "Youth Journey" was the bottom line he could accept, and even that was quite a stretch.

In comparison, Rem, who also has blue hair, is actually quite good.

"Yeah, I know." Zhu Zhixue was still reserved.

The two were silent for a moment, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Hello classmate, can I order now?" asked the waiter.

"Oh, sure, sure!"

Li Zhuangsheng immediately took the menu and ordered four dishes at random, all of which were Zhu Zhixue's favorites.

Zhu Zhixue listened silently to Li Zhuangsheng announcing the dishes and licked her lips.

After the other party left, Li Zhuangsheng closed the door. "Are you okay?" Zhu Zhixue asked softly.

"I'm fine now." Li Zhuangsheng smiled, "That's why I came to see you."

He knew that Zhu Zhixue, out of concern, had been secretly watching him near his neighborhood every day recently. But she never approached him, just watched from a distance.

"Well... then, that's good."

Why did he come to me now? Did he want to confront me? Did he want to tell me that he didn't want me anymore... Zhu Zhixue felt more and more anxious as she thought about it. Her nose felt sore and tears were about to fall.

"Oh, by the way, take this back." Li Zhuangsheng took out the two gold bricks from his schoolbag and gently placed them in front of Zhu Zhixue. "I have paid back all the money your father owed."

Zhu Zhixue's whole body trembled and tears finally burst out.

She had thought that there might be such a day, but she had never expected it to come so soon... When the time really came, she was so frightened that she lost her mind and her eyes went black.

"Don't cry, don't cry..." Li Zhuangsheng stepped forward to comfort her, "Just listen to me!"

Zhu Zhixue lay limply on the table, as if she had lost her soul, tears streaming down her face. She was so despairing that she couldn't even cry.

"My fault, my fault!"

Li Zhuangsheng quickly slapped himself on the face. He thought that Zhu Zhixue might be very sad, but he hadn't finished his words yet!

He helped Zhu Zhixue up with a distressed look, and kissed her lips fiercely, which tasted salty. His hands were not idle either, and he reached into the place he had not seen for a long time.

Zhu Zhixue's tears finally stopped slowly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her sadness.

"I haven't even finished my words yet, and you're crying so sadly that it makes me embarrassed!" Li Zhuangsheng reluctantly pulled his hand back and smiled bitterly, "If my mother saw you crying like this, she would definitely beat me up!"

"What do you mean? Why do you want to give it to me..." Zhu Zhixue sobbed, "Just keep it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it first. Just listen to what I have to say!" Li Zhuangsheng did not dare to delay and quickly stuffed the gold brick back into his schoolbag.

Zhu Zhixue's complexion finally looked better.

"This is a long story... Don't cry anymore, just listen to me slowly." Li Zhuangsheng picked up the lollipop that fell from Zhu Zhixue's mouth and threw it away, then handed the lollipop in his mouth to her.

Zhu Zhixue took it and held it in her mouth, finally feeling a little safe.

"Actually, how should I put it... Let's start with the story between me and Hu Mengdie. It was during this year that you were rather distant towards me. I know you were just being tsundere and you were thinking about me, but I was still a little..." Li Zhuangsheng pondered for a moment, "disappointed."

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Zhu Zhixue rushed into Li Zhuangsheng’s arms, “Let’s make peace, please, I won’t dare to do it again, wuwuwu… I was deceived, I’m sorry!”

"Yeah, I'm not blaming you. Just listen to me first." Li Zhuangsheng hugged Zhu Zhixue and gently stroked her back. "It was at this time that I was slowly attracted to Hu Mengdie... Of course, I'm not making excuses for myself, nor am I blaming you. I'm just stating an objective fact."

Zhu Zhixue hurriedly said: "Don't believe her, she is very bad! She didn't lose her memory, she lied to you! I was also deceived by her!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said, "I already know. We have all been deceived by this bad woman."

"Yeah! It's okay, it's okay! She's just too good at pretending, you're not wrong!"

Zhu Zhixue said desperately. She looked like a stupid wife trying desperately to make up for her cheating husband.

It’s not your fault that you cheated on your partner, it’s that vixen’s fault!

"I am actually very disappointed in myself. Because I used to think so shamelessly that feelings should be like what is said in "Shang Xie": I want to know you, and live a long life without end. Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth are united, I dare not break up with you... From beginning to end, I think I can definitely do it. As long as two people have each other in their hearts, it doesn't matter if there are some conflicts and misunderstandings. But I didn't do it. I would feel irritated and alienated because of a little setback in reality, and in the end I even fell in love with someone else..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I was wrong, I was wrong!" Zhu Zhixue cried and kept apologizing.

"I think you're fine. This is mainly my fault." Li Zhuangsheng touched Zhu Zhixue's thinner face and felt more distressed. "So I'm very sad, not only because of guilt, but also because my outlook on life has collapsed. I was not in good shape some time ago, and this is also partly the reason."

"You're not wrong, it's all my fault!" Zhu Zhixue sniffed.

"You are understandable. After all, you are innocent. You can't help being deceived by a bad woman."

"Yeah!" Zhu Zhixue nodded vigorously.

Li Zhuangsheng bit his lip and said, "Xiaoxue, actually... I love you... but I love more than just you. I'm sorry, but you are not allowed to love anyone else."

Zhu Zhixue smiled the moment she heard Li Zhuangsheng's confession, but when she heard the following words, her smile froze instantly.

"You are blaming yourself, you think you kidnapped me. But I really don't blame you, because you are very good. I would wake up laughing in my dreams with a considerate and gentle girlfriend like you." Li Zhuangsheng hugged Zhu Zhixue, "But you know I have been in pain making a choice, so you broke up with me. Indeed, I don't know which one to choose. If I choose any one of you, I will suffer for the rest of my life. Even if I am with Lin Yuehua, even if I am with Hu Mengdie, it will be the same."

Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips and slowly lowered her head: "I know, I know..."

"It's despicable to say this, and it also seems like moral kidnapping... But you don't want me to suffer for the rest of my life, right?"

Zhu Zhixue nodded reluctantly.

"So, can you accept us...being together?"

Zhu Zhixue raised her head, and it took her a while to realize what Li Zhuangsheng meant.

She tilted her head, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"I don't want to force you, so you can take your time to think about it, one year or two years is fine. Just don't fall in love with someone else." Li Zhuangsheng took out the gold brick again, "This is the dowry your grandparents left for you. I can't take it now. After you think it over, decide whether to give it to me or not."

Zhu Zhixue was still in a daze, but when the heavy gold was stuffed into her hands, she suddenly woke up, as if she had touched something hot, and quickly let go.

"I do not want!"

With two loud "bangs", all the gold bricks fell to the ground.

Li Zhuangsheng bent down and picked up the gold brick. He did not force it on her, but put it back into his schoolbag. "Don't get me wrong. We can continue to date in the future. As long as you want, we can talk and laugh normally, hold hands, hug, and even kiss... Anything is fine. As long as you are willing, even if we haven't thought it through yet, we can still be the same as before."
