Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Let's go home, I need to use the restroom."

After the IV drip was finished, Li Zhuangsheng regained some of his energy. Li Xiuyu touched his head; his fever had subsided considerably.

Li Xiuyu teased, "Want to go to the toilet? Do you want me to help you pee?"

"Get out of here," Li Zhuangsheng said irritably. "It's just fruit..."

"Don't you even remember who brought you here for an IV drip to save your life!" Li Xiuyu said with a laugh. "You've just gotten a little more awake, and you're already talking back to me, huh?"

"I was with you when you had a fever last time, even when you were on an IV drip!"

"Pah! When did that happen? I don't remember!"

"During the summer vacation after my first year of high school!"

"That happened so many years ago?"

"It was just over a month ago, you insisted on being held by me, and you even cried... Ahhh!"

Before Li Zhuangsheng could finish speaking, a sharp pain in his arm caused him to scream in agony.

Li Xiuyu blushed with embarrassment, but gritted her teeth: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

She finally remembered something. That day, she had a fever and was also menstruating. Her stomach was hurting terribly, and she felt weak all over... Damn it, why couldn't you have amnesia for two more months? Why do you still remember this? What is your purpose?
"I won't say anymore! I won't say anymore!" Li Zhuangsheng pleaded. "I'm a patient! You can't treat me like this!"

"If you ever dare to infringe on my right to reputation again, you're dead," Li Xiuyu threatened viciously.

Li Zhuangsheng dared not utter a word and nodded vigorously.

"Go home!" Li Xiuyu pulled Li Zhuangsheng up and snorted coldly.

"Which home should we go back to?" Li Zhuangsheng's eyes flickered.

Li Xiuyu raised an eyebrow: "Go back to whichever home is closer. Which home do you want to go back to?"

Of course, it's closer to their parents' home; they're currently working at a clinic near their old neighborhood.

"Let's go back to the new house, I love my study!"

"Hmph, is it because you have a beautiful younger sister-in-law waiting for you at home?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry home, I want to get some sleep, I really didn't sleep well last night, I'm so tired!"

The two returned home.

"You're back! Lunch is almost ready. Would you like to have some with us?" Hu Mengke quickly stepped forward and smiled.

Li Zhuangsheng paused, noticing Hu Mengke wearing a white knitted sweater underneath a casual apron, her long hair flowing freely—simple yet beautiful. Her face was slightly pale, her eyes clear as water. It was as if winter had passed, but the sunlight still held a lingering chill of early spring. Graceful and charming, she possessed a captivating allure, lacking some of Hu Mengdie's delicate beauty but possessing a more alluring charm.

You little slut.

Li Xiuyu cursed inwardly.

She's quite well-groomed; her seemingly casual home appearance is actually deliberate, with her face clean and a light layer of nude makeup. She hardly ever goes out, so who is she trying to impress with her flamboyant style all the time?
However, at this moment, Li Xiuyu only gave her a cold look and didn't say anything else.

She had already given him a heads-up, making the unpleasant points clear from the outset. Hu Mengke herself couldn't replace Hu Mengdie. On the contrary, she could bring some confidence and comfort to the injured Li Zhuangsheng.

Li Xiuyu turned her face away, cursing "slut" in her heart.

"Oh, okay... thank you. Um... I'm so sorry... let's take turns next time..." Li Zhuangsheng subconsciously stood up straight, nodded hesitantly, feeling shy and ashamed.

Especially when he saw Hu Mengke, he couldn't help but recall that night when her face was blooming like a peach blossom and her eyes were alluring.

Did I really sleep with such a beautiful girl? It feels like a dream!
"It's okay, I'm free all day anyway!" Hu Mengke smiled. "I like cooking, and I like cooking for you too!"

"Oh, thank you, thank you..." Li Zhuangsheng grinned foolishly.

Li Xiuyu secretly pinched Li Zhuangsheng: "Didn't you want to sleep?"

Li Zhuangsheng blinked: "Let's eat first and then sleep. I'm hungry. I didn't eat much last night."

After the IV drip was finished, his fever subsided, and he regained some appetite. However, in Li Xiuyu's eyes, this bastard was clearly bewitched by Hu Mengke.

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Li Xiuyu again. No matter what, they had worked so hard to cook the food, and it would be very impolite of him not to eat a single bite.

The three of them sat in the restaurant eating. Although Li Zhuangsheng had some appetite, he didn't eat much and only ate a little.

Seeing this, Hu Mengke asked with concern, "Didn't your brother-in-law say that you haven't eaten much since last night? Why are you eating so little?"

"He has a fever and just finished an IV drip, so he's not eating much. Be careful with your clothes, and make sure you don't get a fever again," Li Xiuyu said indifferently.

Hu Mengke was startled by what she heard. Not having heard Li Xiuyu's double entendre, she quickly reached out and touched Li Zhuangsheng's head.

"I'm fine, I just caught a bit of a cold, but the fever has gone down now," Li Zhuangsheng said hurriedly.

"Why do you have a fever?" Hu Mengke asked with concern and anxiety, pursing her lips. "You slept over there last night, didn't you...?"

"Ask your sister," Li Xiuyu said coldly.

Hu Mengke was taken aback.

"Alright, Xiuyu, stop talking nonsense." Li Zhuangsheng patted Li Xiuyu, then turned to Hu Mengke and said, "I just have a bad sleeping posture, haha!"

"Yes, yes, they're all sleeping on the floor, how can they sleep properly?" Li Xiuyu said sarcastically.

Hu Mengke blinked, seemingly not quite understanding: "You fell on the floor? My sister's bed isn't actually that small... Are you sleeping in my room?"

"Ahem, alright, this topic isn't important, let's not talk about it anymore!" Li Zhuangsheng quickly waved his hand and stuffed rice into his mouth. "Your cooking is really delicious! Your skills are amazing, you could be a chef! It's much better than our school cafeteria!"

"Oh dear, I just made it randomly. If you don't mind how bad it tastes, I'll make it for you every day from now on!" Hu Mengke said, her face a mixture of shyness and joy.

"So delicious, so delicious!" Li Zhuangsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he praised stiffly with his head down.

Li Xiuyu glanced at him speechlessly. A low-EQ idiot, unable to even compliment a girl properly. A shameless slut, getting shy over a compliment? It's not the first time; she's really good at playing innocent!

Fortunately, Hu Mengdie didn't have that kind of flirtatious streak. If it had been Hu Mengdie who slept with Li Zhuangsheng on that snowy night, things would be really troublesome now, and the two of them wouldn't be able to break up...

After dinner, Li Zhuangsheng offered to wash the dishes for Hu Mengke, which made Li Xiuyu in the living room roll her eyes again. She thought to herself, "I've never seen you this diligent when you're eating at home!"
"No need, brother-in-law, you go and rest. I'll take care of it myself!"

In the kitchen, Hu Mengke declined Li Zhuangsheng's offer of help.

"Let me do it, you've already started cooking..."

"Good boy, listen to me." Hu Mengke reached out and patted Li Zhuangsheng's head, then tilted her head back, stood on tiptoe slightly, and kissed Li Zhuangsheng's cheek. "Go to sleep first, I'll make you some stewed rock sugar pear soup."

As the warm, fragrant breeze wafted by, Li Zhuangsheng froze, his face instantly turning bright red, and he could only nod blankly. (End of Chapter)
