Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Hearing Li Xiuyu say this, it seems that he guessed correctly.

Li Zhuangsheng revealed a smug look: "Do you think I'm stupid? You told me about Mengke and Xuanxuan's hospital stay, didn't you? What else could this kind of person be but a scumbag? And when we met today, he didn't mention money the entire time... Although I don't remember, I spent quite a bit of money back then. Even if he doesn't have the money to pay me back, he didn't mention it at all today. He just doesn't want to pay me back, and he doesn't really want to take responsibility... How can his character be without problems?"

After saying that, Li Zhuangsheng curled his lips again: "That Zhang Xu still wanted to pretend to be affectionate in front of the police. I guess he regretted it. Because Meng Ke is so virtuous and beautiful, he wanted to trick her back."

Li Xiuyu nodded in satisfaction. Although Li Zhuangsheng was a fool, he was also a smart fool, able to understand many things that didn't concern him.

"And then? What did Hu Mengke say?" Li Xiuyu asked with a wicked grin. "Does she want to go back?"

“She definitely doesn’t want to go back. She said she’d rather die than go back.” Li Zhuangsheng whispered Hu Mengke’s tearful complaints in the car to Li Xiuyu again.

"This woman is quite clever..." Li Xiuyu revealed a strange sneer, "People say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but she suddenly became smarter?"

"Nonsense, even the dumbest person wouldn't go back to that scumbag, right? That's just asking for trouble!"

“That’s not what I meant…” Li Xiuyu patted Li Zhuangsheng on the shoulder and chuckled, “It seems Hu Mengke is truly devoted to you. Alright, you go and comfort her. I’m going out for a bit and won’t be back for dinner.”

"What are you going out for?"

"Aren't you going to go out and just stay home and listen to you two moaning for a bit?" Li Xiuyu cursed inwardly, then said nonchalantly, "A friend is inviting me to dinner..."

"Male or female?" Li Zhuangsheng asked subconsciously.

"What?" Li Xiuyu grinned and poked Li Zhuangsheng's chest. "Do you want it to be a man or a woman?"

“Of course I hope it’s a man. Actually, I understand your sexual orientation and I support you. Your parents keep asking me to persuade you, but I don’t think it’s necessary. However, I hope you can be more faithful.” Li Zhuangsheng sighed deeply, looking at her helplessly. “I heard from them that you change partners almost as often as I change my bed sheets!”

Li Xiuyu's face fell, he gritted his teeth, and punched Li Zhuangsheng: "That's because you're dirty! If you changed your sheets every two weeks, you wouldn't be able to keep up with my speed of changing partners, would you?"

Hmph, you've been quite diligent about changing the sheets since you got married!

Li Zhuangsheng rubbed his chest, not understanding the sudden anger in Li Xiuyu's eyes, but guessing that the other party must have been angered by him hitting a sore spot.

"Alright, I'm leaving." Li Xiuyu waved his hand sullenly. "At your rate, dating Hu Mengke wouldn't be bad, at least it would save you money."

"What money are you trying to save?" Li Zhuangsheng didn't understand.

"Durex money."

Li Xiuyu sneered, then left home and closed the door.

"Durex?" Li Zhuangsheng muttered the unfamiliar English word, still not understanding.

Never mind, I'll ask again next time.

When Li Zhuangsheng returned to Hu Mengke's room, he was taken aback. In front of him was a cute little pink-haired girl wearing a black and green sundress, who looked very familiar.

“Brother-in-law…” Hu Mengke gently bit her lip.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhuangsheng recognized the other person's attire. "This is... Mengmeng's battle outfit?"

This was the first time he had ever seen cosplay in real life. Even though the person in the cosplay wasn't wearing any makeup, it still made his heart pound. "Oh right, it's Momo from To Love-Ru." Hu Mengke stroked his tail and said softly, "It's such an old anime. There weren't any finished products, so I had to order one. I just got it recently. I was planning to surprise you on White Day."

"Then why are you now..."

"Because, I'm a little scared." Hu Mengke bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, and threw herself into Li Zhuangsheng's arms. "I'm afraid that I've caused you so much trouble today, and you'll hate me."

“This isn’t your fault!” Li Zhuangsheng hugged Hu Mengke tightly, comforting her. “They’re the ones who are at fault, why are you blaming yourself?”

"I'm in so much pain. I've finally found true happiness, so why is it always... Am I not worthy? Am I not worthy of this kind of happiness? Is it because I'm a bad child?"

Li Zhuangsheng put his arm around Hu Mengke's shoulder and quickly said, "No, don't think like that. You're not a bad kid. You're such a good person. Those who hurt you are the real bad people!"

"If you ever don't want me anymore, you must tell me. I promise I won't bother you. I'll disappear on my own and never bother you again..." Hu Mengke sobbed and trembled.

"No, I won't leave you, really! Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let that scumbag hurt you!"

Hu Mengke slowly raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, her starry eyes seemingly intoxicated. "Can you... kiss me?"

“Mengke…” Li Zhuangsheng lowered his head and kissed Hu Mengke’s lips.

Hu Mengke wrapped her arms around Li Zhuangsheng's neck, as if she had found some salvation, and kissed his lips: "Don't call me Mengke, Mengmeng."

……

Before they knew it, it was already dark. Li Zhuangsheng lay in bed, his back aching a little. Hu Mengke, her whole body weak and sore, breastfed Xuanxuan, her eyes filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

"Do you like cosplay? Then I can buy more cosplay items next time. What other characters do you like?" Hu Mengke asked with a smile.

"Uh……"

Li Zhuangsheng blushed a little. His reaction today was indeed a bit too intense. Li Xiuyu actually guessed it... Wait a minute, when I came in, I was clearly going to comfort her properly. How did it turn into this kind of comfort?

"I...I'm actually...not really..." Li Zhuangsheng said somewhat shamefully, his words contradicting his true feelings, "I don't really care about what cosplay is!"

“Actually, I’m also a fan of anime and manga, and I really enjoy watching anime.” Hu Mengke put Xuanxuan down and leaned against Li Zhuangsheng. “To Love-Ru, Heaven’s Lost Property, The Qwaser of Stigmata, High School DxD… I actually quite like them too.”

“Eh…” Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback, “But these are all for men…”

Moreover, these are all products of his era; they're probably not popular now.

"Yeah, aren't most of the cosplayers at anime conventions female protagonists from male-oriented anime? There are quite a few girls watching these anime!"

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned. It seemed so. He had watched some videos from comic conventions these past few days... Thinking about it carefully, those female protagonists who cosplayed male-oriented anime characters were all girls!
"If you watch anime next time, can you invite me along? Please..." Hu Mengke said softly and coquettishly.

"Okay...okay..."

Just as Li Zhuangsheng was about to agree, the bedroom door opened.

"Has Mengdie not returned yet...?" (End of Chapter)
