Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Li Zhuangsheng was scolded so badly that he dared not speak, and his head tilted to the side, leaning against the car, looking pitiful.

"Xiuyu, I feel dizzy."

"What the hell are you talking about! Didn't you say you were fine?" Li Xiuyu cursed. "You just know how to play the victim in front of me! Aren't you supposed to be a tough guy protecting your wife? What a real man!"

"I'm dizzy, I feel unwell, take me to get an IV drip!" Li Zhuangsheng pretended to be dead with his eyes closed.

"Humph!"

Li Xiuyu stopped talking and stepped on the gas.

"Slow down, slow down, don't speed..." Li Zhuangsheng reminded him.

Li Xiuyu ignored him.

They soon arrived at the clinic near the Li family's residential area, and Li Xiuyu pulled Li Zhuangsheng inside.

"Doctor, he has a fever, give him an IV!" Li Xiuyu shouted.

The doctor came over with a thermometer and had Li Zhuangsheng put it under his armpit.

"Are you hungry?" Li Xiuyu sat down next to Li Zhuangsheng, letting him lean against her and slowly lie down on her lap, and hummed softly, "You haven't eaten much since last night, have you?"

"I don't really feel like eating anything," Li Zhuangsheng said. "I just want some fruit."

"You're showing off!" Li Xiuyu said coldly. "I'm telling you, you absolutely have to get a divorce! Did you hear me?"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get a divorce!"

"Leave, leave, leave, definitely leave..."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded. He was going to get a divorce; he had decided from the beginning to talk to Hu Mengdie about it. Hu Mengdie had been quite resistant to him before, but after last night, she should trust him to some extent now, right?

In the next couple of days, have a good talk with her and discuss what to do.

The two of them seemed to have no objection to the divorce; the only obstacle was their parents. To be honest, Li Zhuangsheng was also hesitant about how to face them.

After all, this is a major life event, much more serious than failing a monthly exam. Just thinking about his father's Seven Wolves cigarettes made Li Zhuangsheng shudder.

And then there are my parents-in-law. They've been so good to me. How am I supposed to face them when the time comes?
Finally, there's Hu Mengke... If he and Hu Mengdie divorce, what will Hu Mengke do then?

Ugh!
But no matter what, we should at least have an open and honest talk with Hu Mengdie!
Li Xiuyu angrily tugged at Li Zhuangsheng's hair. Li Zhuangsheng lay in Li Xiuyu's arms, finally relaxing after a long time. He rubbed against Li Xiuyu's legs and yawned repeatedly.

"38.7 degrees Celsius." The doctor took out the thermometer. "You have a slight fever. Do you need an IV drip?"

"Do you have a thicker needle? Let's just kill him!" Li Xiuyu shouted.

The doctor laughed: "Okay, I'll find you the thickest one. You two siblings still have such a good relationship."

"I only bothered with him because he was about to die!" Li Xiuyu snorted and poked his cheek. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with him!"

Without wasting any words, the doctor went straight to prepare the medicine, while Li Zhuangsheng lay in Li Xiuyu's arms, whimpering softly.

There weren't many people at that time, and Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu occupied the entire bench. A short while later, the doctor came with IV fluids and started an IV drip for Li Zhuangsheng.

The delivery guy walked into the store carrying a bag of fruit.

"You ordered it online?" Li Zhuangsheng glanced at it. "They sell fruit online in the county too. It was so fast."

He had already learned the basic software in Nanjing, but he had previously thought that only big cities like Nanjing had such convenient and diverse food delivery services. "Want some?" Li Xiuyu quickly peeled an orange for Li Zhuangsheng, broke off two segments and put them to his mouth.

Li Zhuangsheng opened his mouth, but Li Xiuyu quickly pulled it away.

“Tell me, ‘Hu Mengdie is a slut,’ and I’ll let you eat her!”

Li Zhuangsheng gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"Oh, you're still reluctant to part with it?" Li Xiuyu slapped Li Zhuangsheng's head lightly in exasperation and stuffed the orange into his mouth.

“It’s not that I’m reluctant to part with her… she’s actually quite pitiful…” Li Zhuangsheng said.

How pitiful could she be?

"No matter what, she's just a high school student, right? She's never been in a relationship, and she has someone she likes. Then suddenly one day, she ages ten years, everything around her changes, and she gets a husband she doesn't like... This is practically a horror movie. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to adapt either."

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't get married!"

"Don't say that. I mean, anyone would find it hard to accept this. She's actually quite pitiful."

He recalled the book he had read on the supermarket shelf years ago, "Little Notes of Adolescence," which contained the line: "Which boy doesn't fall in love, which girl doesn't yearn for spring?"

Girls all yearn for a handsome prince charming, not some random nobody like me. I'm already an eyesore by suddenly appearing here; I should be sensible and get out of there as soon as possible.

Just like the movie he'd read before, "You Are the Apple of My Eye," the male lead and Shen Jiayi went through so much trouble, only for Shen Jiayi to end up marrying a random guy. What genius invented this kind of melodramatic literature? The man and woman are so deeply in love, yet in the end, the female lead marries someone else!
What the hell does this mean?
Li Zhuangsheng hated the character who married the female lead at the end; everyone wanted to kill that minotaur! But Li Zhuangsheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have become that minotaur.

Hu Mengdie and Qi Haoyu are the male and female leads in a youth romance movie, but you interfered and became a stumbling block on their path to love.

But then again, why is everyone sighing for the male and female leads, and no one cares about the minotaur? What did the minotaur do wrong? Maybe he just wanted to get married. He's just innocent, okay? Who knows about your past?

You two are so deeply in love, making such vows of eternal love, you should stay together! Don't break up and hurt other people!
Look how miserable you two are! The male and female leads went through so much and still didn't end up together! I didn't want to see this either!
Li Xiuyu said coldly, "Why do you pity others all day long, but not yourself?"

"What's so pitiful about me?"

"You like to play the savior. You like to put yourself in other people's shoes and think about others first. If everyone in the world were like that, it would be fine, but if you're the only one who's so naive, then you're a fool."

"It's not just me..."

"If Hu Mengdie could do that, she wouldn't have said those things in that situation yesterday. Her father was right to take action."

"Actually, she was just a little impulsive."

"So, aren't you embarrassed?"

"It might be a little..."

"It's a pity her dad acted too quickly, I didn't get to see the expression on your face properly. Didn't you even notice? Your face was as red as this dragon fruit." Li Xiuyu took out a dragon fruit and gently peeled it. "It was the first time I'd ever seen you like that."

"What do I look like?"

"So, shame and resentment... Heh, how funny, you don't even blame her."

“...Because she doesn’t like me.” Li Zhuangsheng bit his lip, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks. “It wasn’t her fault anyway.”

Li Xiuyu stopped talking, cradled Li Zhuangsheng's head, and fed him dragon fruit.

“It would be great if Qi Haoyu was the one she married,” Li Zhuangsheng said abruptly.

Li Xiuyu glanced at him silently, intending to punch Li Zhuangsheng on the head, but the fist, instead of landing, gently patted his head. (End of Chapter)
