Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 674 Private
"Let's leave it at that for today... I don't want to be so casual..." Li Zhuangsheng said with difficulty.

Fighting one's own desires is a difficult thing, but this was a decision that Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a long time before making.

Li Zhuangsheng's, Zhu Zhixue's, and Hu Mengdie's first times were all somewhat beyond their control. But his first time with Lin Yuehua was something he wanted to choose for himself.

"...Idiot."

Lin Yuehua said.

"Go to sleep, you smarty."

Li Zhuangsheng dreamed of the snow again. He chased after Lin Yuehua, but could never catch up. When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yuehua was sleeping peacefully beside him.

Li Zhuangsheng always felt a sense of insecurity about Lin Yuehua, constantly worried that she would disappear before his eyes at any moment. He had never felt this way about Hu Mengdie and Zhu Zhixue, perhaps because he had truly lost them before. Or perhaps it was because Lin Yuehua possessed an independence that most people lacked.

Li Zhuangsheng admired Lin Yuehua's sleeping face. Perhaps it was a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, but he felt that Lin Yuehua's sleeping face was truly beautiful, evoking the imagery of Sleeping Beauty.

He couldn't resist stealing a kiss on her lips, just as Lin Yuehua woke up.

"Good morning, you smarty. I never expected you could sleep in even longer than me!" Li Zhuangsheng smugly hummed.

Lin Yuehua squinted: "You stepped on my hair."

But in my heart I was thinking, "Next time I'll give you something to keep you company for one night, let's see if you can sleep then!"
After having breakfast, Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua lingered together until noon.

“You have to go to give a gift soon and you’re heading back to Nanjing this afternoon. Let me take you home first,” Li Zhuangsheng said with a teasing smile. “Have you thought about how to tell Grandma?”

If a girl sleeps alone at her boyfriend's house for one night, even if she is innocent, she is no longer innocent.

Lin Yuehua glanced sideways but didn't answer. Grandma certainly wouldn't mind; she was probably just pretending.

“Although I am a gentleman, I’m afraid others won’t understand!” Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

"You're worse than an animal," Lin Yuehua retorted.

"Hmm? You know this meme too?" Li Zhuangsheng laughed, kissed Lin Yuehua on the cheek, and teased her happily, "So, you want me to become a beast?"

Lin Yuehua ignored him.

Li Zhuangsheng escorted Lin Yuehua home.

See you in Nanjing.

The two waved goodbye.

After a casual meal at the banquet, Li Zhuangsheng returned to Nanjing. He actually wanted to invite Lin Yuehua to go to Nanjing with him, but he didn't want to force her.

After all, he had studied Li Mi's "Memorial to the Throne".

Upon arriving in Nanjing, Li Zhuangsheng first returned to his company and announced a new plan: he intended to develop a mobile game by the end of the year. Although some raised questions, given Li Zhuangsheng's popularity, no one objected to his "grand plan."

Li Zhuangsheng stayed at the company until the evening. Although he was nominally the boss, he was basically the most useless person except for paying money, and could only do odd jobs.

It seems we still need to hire a professional administrative HR person. Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself.

In the afternoon, Li Xiuyu sent him a text message with good news: they had both passed their driving test (Part 2). Li Xiuyu passed on her first try, while Yi Yunshui failed on her first attempt but passed on her second.

The two women arrived at the company, and the three met. Li Zhuangsheng suggested going to a celebration banquet.

Li Zhuangsheng hadn't expected Yi Yunshui to pass her driving test so easily, because her mental state was indeed not very good. Li Zhuangsheng initially sent Yi Yunshui to driving lessons with Li Xiuyu simply hoping she could get some fresh air. Besides, having something to do was much better than constantly wasting time internally.

For Li Zhuangsheng, Yi Yunshui's successful passing of the driving test (Part 2) was a complete surprise, meaning that her mental recovery was much faster than he had imagined. After all, someone who is severely depressed shouldn't be able to learn anything.

“Xiuyu can go to her driving lesson by herself tomorrow. I’ll go to her school with her; I’ve already made arrangements.” Back home, Li Zhuangsheng said as he took off his shoes. “I forgot to ask, did you run into Xie Jiangqing and Yao Xingyu yesterday?” Li Xiuyu asked, her tone cryptic.

"How did you know?" Li Zhuangsheng asked in surprise. "Let me tell you, I had a really bad day yesterday!"

Li Xiuyu grinned: "I guessed it without you saying anything. The two of them were making sarcastic remarks about scumbags on their WeChat Moments last night."

"Really? You promised to keep it a secret..."

Li Zhuangsheng quickly checked their WeChat Moments. They were indeed subtly criticizing the scumbag, but they hadn't mentioned Li Zhuangsheng's name. However, whether intentionally or accidentally, both Hu Mengdie and Zhu Zhixue had liked their best friend's post.

Well, Hu Mengdie definitely did it on purpose, and Zhu Zhixue probably didn't think too much about it... right?

"I'm going to take a shower first..." Yi Yunshui said softly.

"Oh right, what's up? You passed your driving test today, but you seem a bit listless." Li Zhuangsheng smiled and patted Yi Yunshui's head.

"No, I'm very happy!" Yi Yunshui quickly forced a smile. "Thank you for your concern, brother."

"Just tell me what you want to say," Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile. "Don't be shy with me, you don't need to hold back in front of me!"

"Fine, I'll take a shower too!" Li Zhuangsheng stretched. After moving, he now had more than one bathroom.

"Together?" Li Xiuyu asked.

"You want to shower with me?" Li Zhuangsheng raised an eyebrow. "Is that considered a normal... you know..." relationship?

"I will wear a swimsuit."

"I don't think I brought my swimsuit... I can't just buy one now."

"You don't need to wear it, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Hey, you female hooligan!"

"Look at me, I'm the one who broke the law. I don't think you broke the law."

Li Zhuangsheng was extremely disappointed with this world of women, but he still washed with Li Xiuyu.

He knew perfectly well that this wasn't a normal relationship, but he didn't resist. It seemed they were both deliberately testing the waters by the river, enjoying the danger of this game, becoming addicted to it.

Anyway, they're not related by blood. Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself. Yes, two people who aren't related by blood are free to do whatever they want.

When the two finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, Yi Yunshui was still not done.

"Hey, do you want to see what Yi Yunshui is doing right now?"

Li Xiuyu dried his hair with a damp towel, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"They're taking a shower, what am I supposed to see!" Li Zhuangsheng said irritably. "Do you really think I'm a pervert?"

"We've all finished washing, but she still hasn't come out. Aren't you curious?"

"They're just clean, they wash very thoroughly!"

"What if she committed suicide in the bathroom? You just said she was in a bad mood today. If she doesn't come out for so long, and she tries to take her own life, it might be too late to save her."

Li Zhuangsheng's expression changed, and he stared at Li Xiuyu: "You're joking, right!"

Li Xiuyu lowered his eyelids: "Who knows? How will you know what she's doing if you don't open that door?"
