Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Which eye of yours saw that I don't need help!" Li Zhuang said angrily.

Didn't you see I was struggling with two people just now? I'm exhausted!
“You’re crazy, why do you care about them?” Li Xiuyu said.

"She'll get beaten up."

"So what if she got beaten up? It's none of your business!"

"It's not entirely none of my business..."

"Oh, so the domineering CEO is protecting his wife. Does she even consider you her husband?"

"you……"

The two sat in the living room talking quietly when Hu's mother came over with a smile.

"Little sister, are you... going to stay here tonight too?"

Li Xiuyu glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, his face showing some annoyance. Ignoring the pleading look in Li Zhuangsheng's eyes, he stood up and said, "I'm going back to sleep. I'll pick him up tomorrow morning."

Li Xiuyu, do you have to be so heartless? Don't leave me alone! Li Zhuangsheng sighed inwardly and quietly tugged at her hand.

You deserve it! Li Xiuyu glared at him, then got up and left.

With the sound of a door closing, Li Zhuangsheng, his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law stared at each other in disbelief.

“Um… I…” Li Zhuangsheng really wanted to say, “I’ll go back tonight too,” but he couldn’t bring himself to say it. “I… I’ll just sleep on the sofa tonight.”

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa? Go back to your own room and sleep!" Mr. Hu glared at him slightly.

"My room?"

Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback, thinking, "This isn't my house, is it? I have a room?"
Following their gazes, Li Zhuangsheng slowly shifted his eyes toward Hu Mengdie's doorway.

"This... haha... this isn't really appropriate... I'll just sleep on the sofa!" Li Zhuangsheng chuckled awkwardly and quickly refused.

"The young couple doesn't sleep together, they sleep separately?" Mr. Hu suddenly stood up. "I'll go talk to her, she's spoiling her too much!"

"Hey, no, no, no!"

Li Zhuangsheng quickly stepped in front of Hu's father, thinking to himself, "Please don't go. I just broke up the fight, don't let it start again!"

"Zhuang Sheng, it's alright, she's the same as before! I think she's really sick in the head, and quite seriously so!" Hu's mother said indignantly.

"Uh……"

Li Zhuangsheng was utterly helpless. He looked at his father-in-law, then at his mother-in-law. He was under immense pressure and didn't know what to do.

"Um, you guys stop talking about it. I'll have a good talk with her tonight!" Li Zhuangsheng lowered his head helplessly.

The two men exchanged a glance: "Zhuang Sheng, don't force yourself!"

“I didn’t force her…” Li Zhuangsheng forced an awkward smile. “Don’t worry, she just doesn’t understand your good intentions. Talk to her nicely, and she will understand.”

Li Zhuangsheng sat alone on the sofa for a long time, not knowing what to do, so he and his father-in-law watched TV in silence.

After watching "Cross-Strait Relations," Mr. Hu glanced at other shows and clicked his tongue, saying, "These days, television is getting worse and worse. You have to pay to watch anything!"

Li Zhuangsheng chimed in, "Oh, I really didn't know. I remember our old internet TV was a set-top box from China Telecom... It was alright, but the content was limited, and some of it was paid."

"This is even worse than the original one!" Mr. Hu sighed. "Zhuang Sheng, what do you want to see?"

"I don't want to watch, I don't know what's interesting," Li Zhuangsheng quickly declined. "You watch, I'll just watch along!" Father Hu shook his head: "I don't want to watch either, I can't keep up with you young people! I need to go to bed early, you should rest early too!"

"oh oh……"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously, and then he noticed that Hu's father was staring at him.

"Well, shall I go back to my room too?" Li Zhuangsheng said, forcing himself to speak.

"Don't pay attention to what she just said. She's just being rebellious and talking nonsense. She's trying to go against me!"

"Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know!" Li Zhuangsheng felt like he was shaking his head so hard it was going to fall off.

“You can’t spoil your wife too much. Look at Hu Mengdie now, she’s been spoiled! Your husband is your everything. You have to let her know that you’re not afraid, you’re a legally married couple, and everything is on my and your mother’s side!”

Li Zhuangsheng's lips twitched, then he took a deep breath. Under Hu's father's gaze, he walked step by step towards Hu Mengdie's room, opened the door, and quickly slipped inside.

"……ah!"

Hu Mengdie was crying when she suddenly saw Li Zhuangsheng burst in. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!" she cried out in fear, clutching her chest and kicking her legs.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Li Zhuangsheng desperately stretched out his fingers, shrinking into the corner by the door, and whispered, "Don't shout, don't shout, I, I'm right here! I won't move!"

Seeing that Li Zhuangsheng made no further move, Hu Mengdie finally cooperated and quieted down, looking at Li Zhuangsheng squatting in the corner of the wall in the distance with a look of surprise and doubt on her face.

"Um... your parents sent me, but don't worry, I'll just stay here and promise not to move around!" Li Zhuangsheng whispered to reassure the other person.

Hu Mengdie pursed her lips, perhaps tacitly agreeing, and remained silent, still hugging her knees and sobbing softly.

"Well, you..."

Seeing the school beauty crying in front of him, Li Zhuangsheng opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words to comfort her, but the words wouldn't come out.

He didn't know why he couldn't say it. Maybe he was too tired, or maybe he didn't know how to say it. Maybe he knew it was useless to say it, or maybe he had said a lot of things against his will outside, and now he didn't want to speak anymore.

Li Zhuangsheng squatted in the corner, but feeling uncomfortable in that position, he sat down on the ground. He silently took out his phone and started playing.

Fortunately, I charged my phone before coming, and it's now at 80%.

He felt listless, not wanting to watch anime or read light novels, aimlessly opening and closing apps one after another. He felt waves of boredom, but just didn't want to do anything. Why didn't he want to do anything? It was so boring.

Out of sheer boredom, he turned on the "Battle Through the Heavens" animation and turned the sound off. He regretted not bringing his Bluetooth headphones.

People online are saying the Battle Through the Heavens animation is terrible, so I'm going to see what's going on. No matter how bad it is, I'm going to see for myself! I just don't know if I'll have enough data to watch the video...

Hu Mengdie's family should have Wi-Fi, but Li Zhuangsheng didn't want to ask right now. Wait a minute… Li Zhuangsheng turned on the Wi-Fi, and it connected automatically.

That's good, at least there's Wi-Fi available, so I can surf the internet freely.

Li Zhuangsheng huddled in a corner looking at his phone. Hu Mengdie had stopped crying at some point and was sitting on the bed, hugging her arms and staring blankly.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Li Zhuangsheng was startled and quickly stood up. Due to the excessive force, he felt dizzy.

He struggled to open the door before the other person could enter, forcing a fawning smile onto his face.

The visitor was Hu Mengdie's mother. She stood at the door, chatted casually with Li Zhuangsheng for a few moments, and didn't notice anything amiss. She even assumed that Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie's relationship had improved somewhat and told them to get some rest.

After closing the door, Li Zhuangsheng turned to look at Hu Mengdie, who was still in a daze, coughed, and forced a smile. (End of Chapter)
