Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"You, you're so stubborn!" Xie Jiangqing glared at Hu Mengdie, annoyed. "Don't wait until you lose her to regret it!"

"I don't care!"

"So what are you really thinking? Do you really want to break up with him?"

Hu Mengdie bit her lip and said softly, "I know he likes me, but liking someone should be mutual, right?"

"You really are..." Xie Jiangqing sighed, rubbing her temples with a headache. "I'll say it again, you and he are truly in love. So, you should consider it again, what if you regain your memories someday?"

"I know he's a nice person. But I don't like him, and I can't imagine what it would be like to like him."

Perhaps because of Li Zhuangsheng's protection last night, perhaps because of Li Zhuangsheng's upright and gentlemanly conduct last night, or perhaps because of her guilt towards him, Hu Mengdie was not as resistant to Li Zhuangsheng as before, and spoke to him calmly.

Xie Jiangqing scratched her head in distress. She could understand Hu Mengdie's feelings, but faced with such a complicated problem, she didn't know how to advise her.

Of course, she hoped things would remain the same, because she knew Hu Mengdie's feelings and what choices she would make if she regained her memories.

But this is indeed somewhat unfair and unacceptable to Hu Mengdie now.

"You want a divorce?" Xie Jiangqing finally asked.

The word "divorce" startled Hu Mengdie, who was in 2013, and her eyes immediately filled with confusion and bewilderment.

They've never even been married, yet they're already getting a divorce.

Divorce, what a serious word, a hundred times more serious than failing a monthly exam.

Her parents wouldn't agree to her getting a divorce, and being conservative since childhood, she didn't know how to handle the situation. It seemed like the word "divorce" shouldn't even exist in her vocabulary.

Although she loudly resisted her marriage to Li Zhuangsheng, Hu Mengdie still felt fear when she actually faced the word.

"I, I don't know..."

Hu Mengdie lowered her head as if giving up, feeling exhausted and powerless.

"You don't want a divorce, you still have feelings for him, right?" Xie Jiangqing smiled with a complicated expression.

"No, I just didn't know." Hu Mengdie bit her lip and suddenly raised her head. "I want a divorce!"

Xie Jiangqing was surprised.

"But I know what I should do, I don't know... what to do next."

She wasn't used to her new identity, but she knew she was no longer a student. She had to face the storms outside the campus alone; it was all too sudden, and she was a little scared.

But when she turned around, there was no umbrella to shield her.

Li Zhuangsheng's face suddenly appeared before her eyes. She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this person, but she also understood that this umbrella was no longer hers.

So, what about Qi Haoyu…? She thought of her high school boyfriend, whom she barely remembered. He had stood by her against her parents, and they had spent high school and college together. They must have been very romantic back then.

“Your situation is indeed very complicated…” Xie Jiangqing’s eyelids twitched, and she could roughly understand Hu Mengdie’s concerns. “Moreover, your parents will never agree to your divorce. If you really anger them, they might just abandon you like they did with your sister.”

"Do you still have Qi Haoyu's contact information?" Hu Mengdie asked abruptly.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Jiangqing asked in surprise.

"Don't misunderstand, I still remember what you said yesterday." Hu Mengdie shook her head. "I don't want anything to happen between us, I just want to know some things about the past."

Xie Jiangqing shook her head: "I didn't. I blocked him a long time ago. He's so annoying every day."

Hu Mengdie nodded silently. She wasn't stupid; she figured even if Xie Jiangqing had it, she probably wouldn't give it to her. But she didn't lie either. She'd been with Qi Haoyu for so long; he should know a lot about her. She was also curious about her high school sweetheart.

“I promise you, nothing will happen between you and him,” Hu Mengdie said.

"I suggest you don't have any contact with him." Xie Jiangqing shook her head again. "I know what happened between you two in high school. You went to universities far apart and didn't spend much time together. So there's no need to find out from him."

Even so, Xie Jiangqing could tell from Hu Mengdie's distracted expression that she wouldn't give up. Unfortunately, she didn't have a better way to persuade her.

"Never mind, I'll come to your place later!" Xie Jiangqing sighed, muttering to herself, "I was exhausted after working all day at the bank... I really envy your Li Zhuangsheng, he can get a salary just by coasting at his job, and he gets so much in royalties..."

"What are you going to my house for? Are you going to help persuade my parents?" Hu Mengdie was both surprised and delighted, then lowered her eyes and shook her head. "But I feel like they won't listen to you..."

"I'm talking about your wedding room, the home you and Li Zhuangsheng will have!" Xie Jiangqing said irritably. "No matter what, you made someone sleep on the floor and get a fever, so you should at least apologize. Also, about the things between the two of you, what do you want to do in the future? I'll help you ask around and talk to you."

"Jiang Qing, you're so kind!" Hu Mengdie hugged Xie Jiangqing tightly, feeling a little relieved. "By the way, how did your blind date go yesterday?"

Xie Jiangqing waved her hand, not wanting to elaborate: "That's fine, we had a meal and added each other as friends."

"You just had a meal?"

"He also wanted to invite me to a movie, but it would be late at night by the time we finished watching the movie, and I had to go to work the next day, so I didn't go."

"Going to the movies... I've never been to a movie theater before!"

"If you want to see it, I'll take you when I have my vacation!"

"Yes, thank you, Jiang Qing! Having you is truly my blessing!"

"Don't be so polite with me, I owe you from my past life."

……

After finishing their meal, the two bought some fruit as an "apology" and went to the new apartment building, taking the elevator upstairs.

"Jiang Qing, don't be too aggressive when you talk to him later. Let's talk to him calmly..."

"Oh, why are you suddenly feeling sorry for him?"

"No, I feel really bad. We're the ones who have wronged him."

"No, let's not break up. It's you, not me. I'd advise you not to break up!"

Aren't we on the same side now?

"That depends on the situation... Maybe he just doesn't want to be with you anymore? He was heartbroken by you last night, so he doesn't love you anymore!"

"Hmph, it's good that he doesn't love me, it's perfect for breaking up with him!"

Xie Jiangqing shook her head. The two walked to the door, and she asked that question again: "Have you thought about what would happen if you suddenly regained your memories?"

"I still find it hard to imagine that I like him."

Hu Mengdie lowered her head slightly, inexplicably recalling those photos she had torn up, the two people in the photos smiling so happily and brightly.

That's what she looks like when she likes someone.

But it feels so unfamiliar, like someone else wearing my face. (End of Chapter)
