Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 733 IF·0·5
"Huh...huh..."

Li Zhuangsheng stood outside the gate, taking deep breaths, his heart pounding.

Open this door, and there's his wife inside!
This is just too unrealistic! It feels like he was a high school student one minute and now he's married and has a family the next! How can someone who's never even been in a relationship have a wife?!
Before reaching the door, Li Zhuangsheng was filled with anticipation. But now that he was truly separated from his wife by only a wall, he couldn't help but feel hesitant, a feeling of "the closer one gets to home, the more timid one becomes."

Am I being too hasty? What should I say to people when I see my wife? Should I say I don't remember anything?
Oh dear, I shouldn't have let Dad go! I should have let him come up with me!

Li Zhuangsheng took another deep breath, thinking to himself that his wife was behind the door, and that was their most intimate relationship! He was so nervous!
He struggled to calm himself down and finally, with trembling hands, reached out and pressed his fingerprint into the paper.

In that instant, Hu Mengdie's face suddenly flashed into his mind.

Pshaw, how can I be thinking about other women at a time like this!
The door opened, and Li Zhuangsheng tiptoed back home. Although it was nominally his own home, facing this completely unfamiliar environment, Li Zhuangsheng felt as nervous as a thief.

From the entryway to the living room, it was pitch black. Li Zhuangsheng didn't turn on the lights; he simply bent down and groped his way to change his shoes. There seemed to be a faint light coming from the dining room not far away. Li Zhuangsheng tiptoed over and found it was candlelight.

It's unclear how long the candle had been burning, but it was now clearly a flickering candle in the wind, about to burn out completely.

Several exquisite dishes were laid out on the table, seemingly untouched and now completely cold. Two wine glasses sat in the candlelight, one empty but with a few drops of wine residue, the other half-full, as if untouched.

Li Zhuangsheng stared blankly at all of this, and using common sense, he quickly deduced the cause and effect.

This meal must have been cooked by his wife; she had even prepared a super romantic candlelight dinner. But he hadn't come home yet, leaving her waiting in vain for a long time... Then, she sadly drank the red wine in one gulp.

The two must have had a fight. Yes, what Dad just said proves it.

Sigh, really, why can't we talk things out properly! With such a virtuous and supposedly beautiful wife, what obstacle can't we overcome!

How pitiful it is to leave someone to prepare a meal and then be left alone in an empty room!
Li Zhuangsheng was also a little hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of food. It tasted pretty good, but it was a bit cold.

But this made him even more embarrassed. He and his wife had a fight... but he had no idea what the fight was about. How could he explain it?
Then, the last remaining candle burned out its last glimmer of light. With a soft "poof," the bedroom fell completely dark.

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head vigorously, thinking, "Maybe I should eat first and fill my stomach before thinking about anything else."

Although this was also a form of procrastination, he was indeed very hungry. He walked from Shanshui Park to Hu Mengdie's house, and then back to his own house. He was truly cold and hungry.

Thinking of this, Li Zhuangsheng wanted to turn on the light first, but in the dark, he didn't look where he was going and tripped hard on the chair leg.

"Oh!"

Li Zhuangsheng immediately let out a scream and fell face-first into the dirt.

"Oh...oh..."

Li Zhuangsheng painfully got up from the ground, lamenting his bad luck. He limped to the front door and found the light switch.

The dimly lit house was instantly illuminated, and a woman walked out of the bedroom.

The two looked at each other.

"Uh...uh..."

Looking at the newcomer, Li Zhuangsheng felt as if he had suddenly become mute. He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Wow, what a beautiful woman! Holy crap, this woman is really gorgeous!
Song Yu said that among all the beauties in the world, none are as beautiful as those in Chu, and among the beauties in Chu, none are as beautiful as those in my village, and among those in my village, none are as beautiful as the daughter of my neighbor to the east... You're talking nonsense!

Of all the beauties in the world, none can compare to the one right in front of me!
"There's a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent." This woman is truly breathtakingly beautiful!
This isn't just about her face! The red, form-fitting, bodycon dress perfectly accentuated her stunning figure, and her long, beautiful legs in glossy black stockings were incredibly alluring.

"How come you're back?" The woman looked at Li Zhuangsheng with disbelief, her voice trembling.

Her expression of grievance deepened, her eyes turned red, as if she had applied a layer of alluring eyeshadow, making her even more pitiful and charming!
Li Zhuangsheng had never seen anything like this before, and his face instantly turned bright red, all the way down to the roots of his neck!
"I...I...I...I'm a little hungry," Li Zhuangsheng stammered, babbling incoherently.

The woman pursed her lips, her expression unreadable.

A moment later, she walked to the dining table and picked up the plate of food:
"Let me heat it up for you..."

Li Zhuangsheng stared blankly at her retreating figure, his Adam's apple bobbing. At that moment, he understood completely.

The woman cooking for him in front of him, who else could she be but his wife?

The old man wasn't lying to me, my wife really is prettier than a big star!

Li Zhuangsheng, you're fucking awesome! You're just as amazing as a cow on a plane, you're incredibly awesome!

He was inwardly ecstatic, his eyes constantly stealing glances at the other person's buttocks and legs.

Damn it, can you stop being so lewd? It's really impolite of you to stare at a girl like that! Li Zhuangsheng cursed inwardly, but he couldn't help but steal glances.

Wait a minute, this is my wife. What's wrong with me looking at her? I can not only look at her, but I can also touch her, and even... you know...
Her alluring outfit today is so captivating that even a naive high school student could guess what it meant!
However, the long-standing moral education still made Li Zhuangsheng feel ashamed, and he was torn between watching and not watching.

Li Zhuangsheng, what are you thinking with a wife like this? You still have the heart to argue with her? Li Zhuangsheng cursed himself inwardly.

Suddenly, the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard. Hu Mengke turned off the stove, glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, and said, "I'll go check on Xuanxuan."

She smells so good! As he passed by Li Zhuangsheng, Li Zhuangsheng felt another wave of unease.

Wait, who is Xuanxuan? Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself. He tiptoed to the bedroom door and saw a woman comforting a baby.

Holy crap, you even have a child! Li Zhuangsheng, you're a real bastard! How could you grow up to be this kind of person? I'm so disappointed in you! You, you, you... are you even human?!

Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment at the door, then saw that the baby had been soothed to sleep. The woman walked out of the room again, glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, and headed towards the kitchen.

"...Child, child, are you alright?" Li Zhuangsheng asked stammeringly as he followed behind.

"fine……"

The woman sniffled, her eyes still brimming with tears.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Li Zhuangsheng could no longer bear it and apologized loudly.

His wife was so pitiful, he couldn't just sit idly by! He should apologize when he needed to; what was wrong with apologizing to his wife? He'd be a slave to Li Xiuyu!
The woman was startled by the sudden loud voice, turned to look at him, and curled her fingers.

"It's okay, you did nothing wrong... you just don't love me." Her voice choked with sobs.

“No, I, I love you!” Li Zhuangsheng stammered immediately.

I'm a visual novel expert, and this is definitely a crucial turning point. Do you think I've been playing all those visual novels for nothing?
Besides, even if you've never played a visual novel, you can't stay silent at a time like this!
The woman suddenly froze, turned her head slowly to look at Li Zhuangsheng, her eyes instantly lighting up, and she trembled uncontrollably: "You, what did you say?"

"I love you!" Li Zhuang forced himself to confess his love to his wife once again.
