Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 708 Magu
Li Zhuangsheng awkwardly put away his phone. Lin Yuehua had recently become very enthusiastic about sharing her life. Li Zhuangsheng had once asked her why, and she said that she shouldn't have such happiness, so she cherished these days.

Just like her personal motto: Study hard, eat well, and be happy every day.

When Hu Mengdie saw the photos of Xuanwu Lake shared by Lin Yuehua, she immediately guessed what was going on. There was no one else in the photos, and the other person couldn't have come to Xuanwu Lake alone, so they could only be waiting for Li Zhuangsheng.

Honestly, why are you so jealous? Didn't we just go to Peach Blossom Island a few days ago?

Li Zhuangsheng sighed, then thought of Hu Mengke again. Since Hu Mengdie, as the older sister, said it was fine, then it must be fine.

But... Hu Mengke and Hu Mengdie do look quite alike.

According to Li Zhuangsheng's memory, apart from their equally stunning appearances, Hu Mengdie and Hu Mengke were actually quite different in terms of personality.

But this time... it looks quite similar.

Just now at the subway station, Hu Mengke's words and actions, even his words and expressions defending him, were very similar to Hu Mengdie's.

Li Zhuangsheng had no doubt that if it were Hu Mengdie, the other party would probably say similar things and do similar things... but her reaction might be a bit more intense.

For example, Hu Mengdie might slap the burly man who shoved her. After all, Hu Mengdie is extremely protective of herself in public.

Hu Mengdie was a respectable person; almost all her humiliations were only displayed in front of Li Zhuangsheng. For Hu Mengdie, protecting Li Zhuangsheng's face was protecting her own. After all, husband and wife are one; it's impossible for one to lose face while the other shines.

She would view any attack on Li Zhuangsheng as an attack on herself, and might even react more strongly. It wouldn't matter if she suffered a setback; others might even think she was tolerant and magnanimous. But it was absolutely unacceptable for Li Zhuangsheng to lose face.

Of course, the idea that Hu Mengdie might slap the big man on the spot is just Li Zhuangsheng's subjective thought... But without a doubt, at least in handling this matter today, the two sisters are very similar.

Upon closer reflection, it wasn't just Li Zhuangsheng's behavior during the maintenance that was striking; even in casual conversations with Hu Mengke, the other person's tone and demeanor were very similar to Hu Mengdie's.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before the time travel, nor when Hu Mengke was a child.

Perhaps the two sisters have spent more time together in the last two years, which has led to some similarities in their words and actions. Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself.

Without thinking further, since Lin Yuehua had already arrived, Li Zhuangsheng hurried to find her and meet up with her.

……

Life is like water beneath ice, flowing eastward day and night unnoticed.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?" Zhu Zhixue smiled and showed off her newly made ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) to Li Zhuangsheng.

"Let me see you spin around again!" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

Zhu Zhixue then smiled and continued spinning around.

"So beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth!" Li Zhuangsheng exclaimed. "Don't stop, keep going, it's just like Yang Guifei performing the Rainbow Feather Dance!"

At Li Zhuangsheng's urging, Zhu Zhixue spun around and soon became dizzy. Li Zhuangsheng reacted quickly, catching her in his arms with a smile before she collapsed.

"Haha, are you dizzy?" Li Zhuangsheng pecked Zhu Zhixue on the lips, a triumphant smile on his face.

Zhu Zhixue felt dizzy and lightheaded. After a while, she weakly patted Li Zhuangsheng and said with flirtatious eyes, "You're so naughty!"

"You're silly, you just turn around when I tell you to!" Li Zhuangsheng chuckled.

"I'm ignoring you!" Zhu Zhixue nestled in Li Zhuangsheng's arms, her voice muffled. "I'm going to the anime club tomorrow."

She just came back from the Hanfu club today, and tomorrow will be her last time going to the anime club.

Because they're graduating. Time flies. It seems like just yesterday they were newbies in the club, everyone they met was a senior. Who knew four years would pass in the blink of an eye?

“Well, I’ll go say goodbye to the fighting club too,” Li Zhuangsheng said.

"It's the women's combat club!" Zhu Zhixue emphasized.

"Whether or not the word 'woman' is added doesn't really matter!" Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but complain.

"You've been a 'friend of women' for four years,' and now you're feeling embarrassed!"

Li Zhuangsheng pinched Zhu Zhixue's cheek: "I think you're just jealous."

"Hmph, I bet most people quit clubs by their junior year, but you've shamelessly stayed until your senior year..."

"Aren't you the same?"

"I'm not in the men's combat club!"

The two bickered in hushed tones.

They stayed in the club until the very end, mainly because neither of them had to worry about further education or employment.

Li Zhuangsheng became one of only two senior students in the women's combat club, the other being Li Xiuyu. As a junior, Li Zhuangsheng's presence in the club didn't draw much opposition, but as a senior, it felt somewhat oppressive. Fortunately, Li Xiuyu took on the role of club president, and Li Zhuangsheng's approachable nature ensured things continued peacefully.

Li Zhuangsheng stayed in the women's fighting club mainly because it was convenient for him to exercise. Although he could find a better gym, he was too lazy to move after staying in one place for a long time.

Moreover, he was jokingly referred to as the only "instructor" of the women's fighting club, and would occasionally act as a sparring partner. Over the years in the club, he had acquired some fighting and grappling skills.

Of course, he never had the chance to unleash his full power. He also hoped he would never encounter a situation where he had to use his fighting skills.

"Time flies so fast..." Zhu Zhixue sighed softly, "There is never a long rope to tie the sun, and the water goes and the clouds return, and I can't help but feel regret. I want to buy the vast ocean from Magu, but a cup of spring dew is as cold as ice."

She used to be a junior high school student, but now she's a veteran leader in both the anime club and the Hanfu club. However, some people in the anime club have quite a few complaints about her because she never supports the club's cosplay and never participates in stage plays.

What a waste of all your talent!

Although the manga research group is nominally just a bunch of lazy otaku who eat, drink, and wait to die... the number of members in the manga research group has skyrocketed in recent years due to the presence of Zhu Zhixue.

When Zhu Zhixue was a freshman, the comics research group only had 7 or 8 members. By the time she was a senior, the group had grown to more than 20 people.

"It's already very good." Li Zhuangsheng smiled. "It all comes to an end eventually, didn't you experience it before?"

The two had seen off countless senior members of various clubs. Li Zhuangsheng still remembered the senior in floral shorts from the anime club; her otaku image had left a deep impression on him.

Zhu Zhixue and she had a very good relationship. When she graduated, Zhu Zhixue cried her eyes out.

So Li Zhuangsheng lured her away with a high salary, and now she is working as a supervisor in Zhu Zhixue's clothing factory.

Li Zhuangsheng had previously set up a small clothing factory for Zhu Zhixue, which only produced Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). The Hanfu co-branded under Huabiao Qiannian were all produced by Zhu Zhixue's factory, which recently expanded its scale a bit and also took on some other orders.

Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue each own 35% of the factory's shares, Yao Xingyu owns 12% of the shares, and the senior student with the floral underpants and another reliable senior student whom Zhu Zhixue met in the Hanfu club own 9%... Currently, these three are in charge of the factory's main affairs.

“I’m going to cry again tomorrow; they insist on throwing me a farewell banquet,” Zhu Zhixue said.
