Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

What should she do next? Hu Mengdie bit her lip. She wanted to give up. Giving up was a simple thing, but what would happen after she gave up?

She simply can't stop now, she has no right to stop at all.

Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she understood that she was no longer the student who had countless fantasies all day long.

Hu Mengdie felt helpless. This time, the pressure wasn't from her family, but she was under unprecedented pressure from all sides.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated slightly again. Hu Mengdie glanced at it nervously; it was Fang Yueyue calling.

[Sister Butterfly, you haven't been feeling well these past few days. If you haven't fully recovered, you can rest at home for a couple more days. I'm sorry I was a little harsh with you these past few days, please don't take it to heart. I know you're not used to the current pace because of your illness, that's okay, we'll take it slowly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime. Let's cheer each other on and make Moon Butterfly Studio even better!]

Hu Mengdie stared incredulously at Fang Yueyue's WeChat message, lost in thought, a sudden surge of warmth welling up inside her.

It was as if a ray of light had broken through the darkness.

Tears of grievance welled up again, but this time, she felt a sense of relief. She quickly typed a text message for the other party.

……

"Good evening," Hu Mengdie said with a smile as she opened the door.

"Um, um...you're back." Li Zhuang gave a stiff laugh. "You're back pretty early today..."

"Mm." Hu Mengdie nodded, her eyes bright and clear.

In the past two days, she sensed a change in her colleagues' attitudes towards her. They seemed to have noticed her predicament and not only offered guidance but also patiently comforted her. With their help, she has gained a general understanding of her teaching responsibilities in the past two days.

After carefully learning about it, she realized it wasn't difficult at all; teaching children didn't require any special experience. After observing her colleagues' classes a few times, Xie Jiangqing also sent her some teaching videos.

Now Hu Mengdie can teach quite well, and with a relaxed mindset, she makes almost no mistakes anymore. Feeling that her work is going more and more smoothly, the smile on her face has finally returned.

Actually, it's not that difficult! Hu Mengdie thought to herself, her colleagues are all quite friendly, and the children like her very much.

Hu Mengdie was in a good mood at this moment, and she found Li Zhuangsheng more and more pleasing to the eye.

Over time, Hu Mengdie gained a general understanding of Li Zhuangsheng. Putting aside her initial malicious intent, Hu Mengdie could sense his honesty and integrity; he had never harassed her. Their relationship was like that of roommates, and he even helped deal with her parents.

Although she didn't develop any special feelings for Li Zhuangsheng, at least Hu Mengdie no longer disliked him.

Especially when she thought about how he had stood in front of her parents and slept on the floor without complaint a few days ago at her own home, Hu Mengdie felt a sense of gratitude and goodwill towards him.

Li Zhuangsheng is a good person with good character!

If it weren't her husband, that would be even better!
However, in a way, it's fortunate that her nominal husband is a good person like Li Zhuangsheng. This allows her to maintain the status quo and catch her breath.

……

After a brief greeting to Li Zhuangsheng, Hu Mengdie walked briskly into Hu Mengke's room.

Li Zhuangsheng watched her go, thinking that the blue butterfly hair clip on her head was quite pretty... No, Hu Mengdie was pretty to begin with, so any hair clip would look good on her.

It seems that Hu Mengdie is getting more and more used to the current pace these days. Li Zhuangsheng had previously heard Hu Mengke say that before opening her dance studio, Hu Mengdie had worked part-time at some dance classes, and now she is finally back on track.

It's time to talk about divorce! I'm sure Hu Mengdie herself has been thinking about this for a long time!
There's no time like the present, let's do it tomorrow!
Tomorrow is Thursday. If it's past Thursday, Friday through the weekend will be very busy, and it wouldn't be good to bother her then.

Okay, that's decided. We have to get down to business, even if it's tough!
In Hu Mengke's bedroom, Hu Mengdie lay on Hu Mengke's bed, wearing an eye massager and a lumbar physiotherapy device, chatting and laughing with Hu Mengke.

Upon arriving in a new place, she did some exploration and found the eye massager and lumbar physiotherapy device in her dressing table. Initially, Hu Mengdie wasn't quite sure about the effects and usage of these two devices, so she quietly asked Hu Mengke. After learning about them, she was delighted and asked Hu Mengke to teach her how to use them.

Although she doesn't know how effective it is, she finds it quite comfortable to use and likes it a lot. Especially after get off work, she uses it while lying in bed for a while, and it seems to relieve the fatigue of the day.

"How is Xuanxuan doing lately? Is she feeling alright?"

"I'm fine, I've been quite healthy lately."

"I bought some small toys for Xuanxuan online, they should arrive soon."

"Thank you, sister, you've gone to so much trouble."

"It's okay, I don't know what happened in the past few years either, but we're still sisters!"

"Hehe, um." Hu Mengke smiled with her eyes lowered.

Hu Mengdie thought to herself that no matter what, Hu Mengke was still her closest relative. She couldn't just ignore the fact that Hu Mengke had been kicked out of her home by her parents, and besides, Hu Mengke needed someone she could trust.

"The weather's been a bit dry lately, and my throat and nose are feeling a little uncomfortable..." Hu Mengdie said, then suddenly realized something, "By the way, why does your room feel so comfortable?"

"I have an air humidifier here... Sister, you should have one in your room too, it's under the cabinet."

"You mean the one with the circle?"

"Yes, it's a Dyson. It seems to purify the air and humidify it... It's so expensive, over five thousand yuan."

"Really? What good stuff is this? It's so expensive. I never thought I'd be so willing to spend money on myself, haha..." Hu Mengdie tilted her head, thinking to herself that she hadn't expected the thing to be so expensive and that she should have used it a long time ago.

"You didn't buy it. You haven't had much income these past two years. It was a birthday gift from your brother-in-law," Hu Mengke said casually, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Ah..." Hu Mengdie let out a soft "ah," and remained silent for a while. "So it was him who bought it... Well then, I'll give it back to him..."

"Why give it back to him? He gave it to you, so it's yours now."

"Yes, but..."

Hu Mengke bit her lip lightly, laughing inexplicably, "The back support, eye protector you're using now... oh right, and the butterfly hair clip in your hair, those were all birthday gifts from your brother-in-law. Are you going to return them all? That foot bath tub in your bathroom was also bought by your brother-in-law. Even the place you're living in now is your brother-in-law's house. Are you sure you don't want any of it?"

Hu Mengdie's expression froze, her face flushing slightly from the heat. Fortunately, she was wearing an eye mask, so she didn't need to hide her expression.

Under Hu Mengke's questioning, she felt waves of shame. At the same time, she sensed that Hu Mengke's tone was abnormal, as if it contained some kind of jealousy and resentment, and that she was not on her side.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see Hu Mengke's face, nor did she know what expression she had at that moment.

"I, I..." Hu Mengdie stammered, unsure how to answer.

"Hehe, so just don't worry about it. Anyway, your brother-in-law has already given it to you, so it's yours now. Besides, these were all carefully prepared for you, so he won't need them if you give them back. Moreover, he doesn't even remember these things anymore, and he won't accept them now," Hu Mengke said with a smile.

These words, when they reached Hu Mengdie's ears, returned to their usual calm and gentle tone, as if the previous tone had been merely her imagination. How could Hu Mengke suddenly speak sarcastically to her?

"Uh, um... I, I've only known him for two years, right? How come he gave me so many birthday presents..."

Hu Mengdie bit her lip and stammered as she asked.

"Yes, you've only been together for two years... but he's given you all the gifts you've missed for over twenty years, haha..." Hu Mengke laughed softly, "I'm so envious. You're so lucky, sister, to have a man like your husband who loves you so much." (End of Chapter)
