Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Alright, give me a ride. Hu Mengdie and I are sisters, you know? She won't mind something like this. I'll talk to her when she gets back!" Xie Jiangqing sat down in the back seat and patted Li Zhuangsheng on the back.

What are you going to say to her? She definitely won't mind. I just don't really want to carry you!

Li Zhuangsheng sighed, but still reluctantly kicked off the kickstand and slowly got on his bicycle.

Early March still carried a chilly spring air, but fortunately, the afternoon sun was just right, shining warmly on people. The previously bare and withered branches in the neighborhood finally showed some green, and the ground was covered with a layer of fallen, withered leaves.

"Where are you going?" Xie Jiangqing asked with a smile, her long hair swaying gently.

"I don't know, I'll just ride around and check out the mountain and water park," Li Zhuangsheng said.

"What, you want to go over there to try and regain your memories?"

"We hope to find it, but that's not scientifically feasible."

Do you want to regain your memories or not?

"Of course I do."

Li Zhuangsheng responded casually, but then suddenly wondered, is regaining memories really a good thing?
Although the desire is to restore order, isn't it a little pathetic to see the version of myself who loved Hu Mengdie facing this situation?

According to Zhang Qixiang, he seemed to be in quite a lot of pain before he lost his memory. Moreover, he seemed to have accidentally caused some trouble. If he really came back, he would probably have a hard time dealing with Hu Mengke alone... If Li Zhuangsheng was not mistaken, he should have rejected Hu Mengke that night before he lost his memory.

Li Zhuangsheng understood him to some extent, but not completely.

The bicycle wobbled, and Xie Jiangqing couldn't help but grab Li Zhuangsheng's waist: "Hey, your bike isn't stable either."

Li Zhuangsheng said irritably, "It's been a long time since I've carried someone on my bicycle."

"What, you've never carried Hu Mengdie on your back?"

"I don't think so..."

Li Zhuangsheng recalled Li Xiuyu's words earlier. If he had given Hu Mengdie a ride, she wouldn't have spoken in that tone.

"Nonsense, you just don't remember!"

"Maybe."

Li Zhuangsheng did not argue.

"Hey, have you ever carried any other girls on your bicycle?"

Xie Jiangqing asked.

"No," Li Zhuangsheng replied.

"Hmph, I bet you don't have one!"

I actually carried Li Xiuyu's back before, but is Li Xiuyu considered a girl? Definitely not.

Li Zhuangsheng suddenly braked the bicycle to a stop, and Xie Jiangqing, caught off guard, fell headfirst into Li Zhuangsheng's arms.

"Ouch... what are you doing..."

"I was so busy talking to you that I almost ran a red light," Li Zhuangsheng said, pointing to the traffic lights ahead.

Xie Jiangqing glanced at it, speechless. She thought to herself, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely think it was intentional."

She hugged Li Zhuangsheng's waist: "Be careful, you're carrying someone on your back, I almost fell off."

"Oh, oh." Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously.

"What's wrong with you? Carrying me makes you look so listless!" Xie Jiangqing angrily slapped Li Zhuangsheng's head.

"No," Li Zhuangsheng quickly shook his head.

"Nothing to brag about, look at you, half-dead!" Xie Jiangqing clicked her tongue.

The red light slowly turned green, and Li Zhuangsheng, swallowing his anger, started pedaling his bicycle again: "You're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like you were in elementary school..."

Although Li Zhuangsheng reminded himself that this was someone his age, he subconsciously always felt that she was an "older sister." If he were ten years old and met a twenty-year-old girl, he might have called her "auntie."

Xie Jiangqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How come I'm still like I was in elementary school?"

He likes to bully people! Li Zhuangsheng didn't dare say it out loud.

The afternoon sun was lazy and warm, and there were even fewer cars on the road.

Xie Jiangqing gently hugged Li Zhuangsheng's waist, and for some reason, she couldn't help but laugh.

She watched their shadows swaying on the ground. A chilly wind ruffled her hair, and she reached up to smooth it.

Memories from elementary school seem to have been rekindled. "Does it feel like an old movie?" Xie Jiangqing asked.

"Everyone else carries their female classmates on their backs."

"Am I not your female classmate?"

"We were elementary school classmates."

"Aren't elementary school classmates still classmates? I'm such a beautiful girl, and you're making all this nonsense while I'm carrying you. So many people want me to ride in their cars, and I'm not even willing to..."

Just then, a beeping sound interrupted Xie Jiangqing's words. Li Zhuangsheng turned his head to look at the roadside; it was a car he didn't recognize.

Why did he shoo me away? Li Zhuangsheng stopped his car, thinking that he shouldn't have done anything wrong, as he had been obediently walking in the non-motorized vehicle lane the whole time.

That might be someone you know, an old acquaintance.

Seeing that Li Zhuangsheng had stopped, the other party also stopped their car on the side of the road.

Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but examine the car logo, thinking that the car was quite beautiful, but he had never seen the brand before.

He basically only recognizes the German Big Three (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) and Volkswagen, Buick, Toyota, and Honda. For sports cars, he recognizes Ferrari and Lamborghini, and for domestic cars, he recognizes BYD and Alto. The reason he recognizes Alto is because the first car he drove when he played parking games a few years ago was a used Alto.

"Hello, it really is you."

The driver got out of the car; he was a young, slightly overweight man who looked to be under thirty.

Just as Li Zhuangsheng was about to reply, he heard Xie Jiangqing's voice behind him: "Hmm, what a coincidence."

So it wasn't looking for me after all? Li Zhuangsheng turned to look at Xie Jiangqing. He breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, he didn't have to deal with her anymore.

"Yes, I just finished eating at home and was about to go to the factory to take a look." The man glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, then looked at Xie Jiangqing and smiled, "Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No need, my friend is here too, we plan to go for a stroll in the park," Xie Jiangqing said.

"You two... seem to have a good relationship."

The man's lips twitched slightly, but he still managed to force a smile.

"Okay, classmate." Xie Jiangqing waved her hand. "Then you go to the factory. I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay..." the man pursed his lips, "Then I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he got back into the car and closed the door.

"Your friend?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.

"We're not really friends," Xie Jiangqing shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "We met on a blind date a couple of days ago."

"Oh...ah?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback, "A blind date?"

"Yes, a blind date. Don't you know what a blind date is?"

"I... I should know something..."

"Actually, we just had a meal together, nothing else happened," Xie Jiangqing said, looking down.

"You didn't like him?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.

Xie Jiangqing shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that I didn't have any feelings for it."

Li Zhuangsheng pouted slightly: "He looks pretty good driving that car."

"I just bought the Wenjie M8."

"Is it expensive?"

"It's alright, three or four hundred thousand, which is more expensive than your two cars combined."

Which two cars do I own?

"Your sister's Han and your family's Passat."

"You're bragging. My sister's car cost over two hundred thousand!"

Xie Jiangqing scoffed, "Tch, what time is it? Even a brand new Han Dynasty would only cost around 100,000 at most now."

Li Zhuangsheng scratched his face, thinking to himself, "Really? I thought our 'Han' should be on par with BMW and Mercedes."

"But to drive such an expensive car, his family must be quite wealthy, right? Why didn't you fancy him?" (End of Chapter)
