Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Xie Jiangqing was truly helpless. She tried to persuade Li Zhuangsheng, but he wouldn't listen. She also tried to persuade Hu Mengdie, but she wouldn't listen either.

The key point is that, subconsciously, she also felt that what Li Zhuangsheng said made some sense.

If Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie have no feelings for each other, it would be more reasonable for them to separate temporarily.

But your bodies don't just belong to the two of you!

Actually, she was anxious. Li Zhuangsheng was a trustworthy person, but she was worried about Hu Mengdie. This wasn't because she doubted Hu Mengdie's character, but because she remembered her interest in Qi Haoyu a few days ago.

Although she didn't know exactly what happened between the two, Xie Jiangqing was certain that Qi Haoyu had done something to wrong Hu Mengdie, and that he was the culprit who caused Hu Mengdie to become depressed.

She was genuinely worried that Hu Mengdie would repeat the same mistake, and given Hu's stubbornness, she wouldn't be able to stop her if she really decided to do something.

Enraged, Xie Jiangqing chased Li Zhuangsheng away, preparing to defeat him one by one.

Xie Jiangqing scratched her head: "Mengdie, there's no one else here now, can you tell me what you really think? Let me tell you my thoughts first, I don't think you two need to get a divorce! Yes, I understand how you feel, you may not like Li Zhuangsheng yet! But after spending time together, you must have realized that Li Zhuangsheng is a very good person. Although he likes you very much, he has never had any improper thoughts, right? He has never made things difficult for you, right? So is there any need for you to get a divorce? Anyway, there's nothing inconvenient about it, so just be friends for now! If it's a good fit, be together; if not, we'll see!"

Seeing Xie Jiangqing becoming increasingly agitated, Hu Mengdie couldn't help but purse her lips. She sensed the disappointment in Xie Jiangqing's words, and her mood inexplicably soured. She curled her hands in frustration.
"Jiang Qing, I know you're doing this for my own good. I also know he likes me and he's a pretty good person... I'm not in a rush to get a divorce; it doesn't really matter whether we get a divorce or not. But he's the one who brought it up, so let's get a divorce."

“He, he… he might be doing this for you. He might just think you want a divorce,” Xie Jiangqing stammered as she explained.

"What he thinks is none of my business. It's no use telling me anyway. I don't care... it's all fine."

"If you don't want a divorce, just say so!"

Hu Mengdie's voice suddenly rose: "I didn't say I didn't want a divorce, what should I say?"

Xie Jiangqing was speechless for a moment. Hu Mengdie was a little annoyed; she could tell. She also realized that Hu Mengdie didn't actually want a divorce.

But Hu Mengdie would never try to win him back. She would never take the initiative to win back someone she doesn't love.

There was a knock on the door. Li Zhuangsheng stood at the door and chuckled awkwardly, "Oh right, the instructor is here. Shall we go downstairs for driving lessons?"

Hu Mengdie said coldly, "Go ahead, I don't want to go today."

"Oh...yes, it's Friday today, you're probably busy...but he's already here, so I'll go to my class today and have him come over next Monday!"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously and left in a hurry.

"What coach?" Xie Jiangqing asked curiously.

Hu Mengdie explained calmly, and Xie Jiangqing couldn't help but sigh, "Look how thoughtful Li Zhuangsheng is, he really cares about you!"

"Isn't it because he's learning to drive himself, and he just asked me to join him on the side?"

“Li Zhuangsheng never drives, and he doesn’t own a car, so there’s no need for him to rush into learning to drive. Did you forget? He just gave you the keys to his electric scooter a couple of days ago.”

Hu Mengdie remained silent again.

"...I can't ride an electric scooter," Hu Mengdie replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

“I know you didn’t know how to ride a bicycle when you were in school. Last year, when you were with Li Zhuangsheng, he taught you how to ride one. You even took pictures, they should be on your phone.”

"Oh."

"I remember you posted photos on your WeChat Moments." "Oh..."

"You and Li Zhuangsheng have a lot of photos together, they should all be on your phone. You can look at them when you have time, maybe they'll remind you of something. You two were really good friends back then."

"……Oh."

Hu Mengdie pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, and her eyes flickered slightly.

She only looked at the chat history related to herself and Li Zhuangsheng on the first day. She spent the whole night scrolling through it, but the chat history was too long, and she only saw a small part of it. She never looked at it again after that.

Perhaps it was her parents' attitude that made her feel immense disgust and resistance towards Li Zhuangsheng. Or perhaps it was Hu Mengdie in the chat history that made her feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

She originally hated those things. She felt like she had a nightmare. When she woke up, she found herself kidnapped and sold into a remote mountain village. She was lost and helpless. Her body and mind had been violated. She was helpless and had no one to turn to.

She deleted the QQ space post announcing her marriage and spent a long time deleting all the photos on her phone, as if this would clear her name and make her forget that unbearable humiliation.

Now, however, Hu Mengdie actually felt a little regretful. It wasn't a problem that the photos were on her phone; she could simply not look at them if she didn't want to. Why delete them? After all, they were a part of her past… Looking at them when she had time might help her recover her memories.

Li Zhuangsheng wasn't a bad person either.

But it's already deleted. The only connection she has with Li Zhuangsheng on her phone is probably her WeChat Moments. Ironically, the only reason she hasn't deleted those posts is because of her parents' likes, which makes her hesitant to do anything.

Xie Jiangqing sighed heavily again: "I know you don't like to hear this, but I'll still give you one last piece of advice: don't say it anymore. You and Li Zhuangsheng are truly happy together. Why do I say that? After you got together with Qi Haoyu, starting from university, I rarely heard you talk about you two. But when you were with Li Zhuangsheng, I heard about you two so many times I was sick of it. You've always been like this since you were little; when you're unhappy, you stay silent and don't tell anyone, but when you're happy, you want everyone to know."

"……Um."

Hu Mengdie lowered her eyelids and gave a vague reply. She had seen her chat history with Xie Jiangqing.

More than an hour later, Li Zhuangsheng returned home. Shortly after, Xie Jiangqing knocked on the door.

"Finished practicing?" Xie Jiangqing sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yes, the coach has already gone back," Li Zhuangsheng said.

"how do you feel?"

"It's alright, it doesn't feel too difficult... maybe it's just muscle memory."

"Can this really have muscle memory?" Xie Jiangqing asked in surprise.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's difficult," Li Zhuangsheng shrugged.

Xie Jiangqing smiled and said, "It's good to practice driving. You can buy a car to drive in the future."

Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and blinked: "I don't really want to drive."

"why?"

"I feel like I have trouble concentrating and get easily distracted."

"You won't get distracted while driving, right?"

"Sigh, let me tell you, during the summer between my first and second year of high school, I fell off my electric scooter. It was dark, and the moon was especially beautiful. I was riding my scooter and was so focused on looking up at the moon that when I came to my senses, I was lying on the ground. So I think I'm not suited to driving." (End of Chapter)
