Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Xie Jiangqing stared blankly for a while, looking at Li Zhuangsheng as if she didn't recognize him.

"Oh... Actually, she didn't go to do anything. She was just afraid you would misunderstand... She doesn't actually like Qi Haoyu. She just has amnesia and wanted to ask some questions. I did go with her, but I didn't go to my relatives' house... Please don't misunderstand!" Xie Jiangqing explained haltingly.

"Oh, it's nothing, you don't need to explain, I understand." Li Zhuang waved his hand.

Seeing this, Xie Jiangqing thought Li Zhuangsheng didn't believe her, and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, you have to believe me, I really did go with Mengdie today, I accompanied her the whole time, I swear!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you, I believe you." Li Zhuangsheng nodded, then gave a slight bitter smile. "Don't get agitated, I really don't blame you. To be honest, I really understand her... Besides, Mengke and I are already in this situation, how can we stop Hu Mengdie from pursuing true love?"

Xie Jiangqing frowned and remained silent, a sudden pang of unease settling in her heart. Li Zhuangsheng was right, so understanding. The two were already on the verge of divorce and had long agreed to seek their own happiness without interfering with each other. Even if Hu Mengdie was merely asking her ex-boyfriend about her lost memories, so what if they rekindled their old flame? Li Zhuangsheng was spending all his time laughing and joking with his ex-sister-in-law… But it was precisely this understanding that made her feel so conflicted.

She witnessed firsthand how happy the two of them were, how deep their love was, so deep that she sometimes went crazy with jealousy in secret!

More than ten years have passed since elementary school. Xie Jiangqing no longer has the innocent feelings she had as a child for Li Zhuangsheng. She only has a faint fondness for him, like a piece of candy from her childhood.

So when she learned that Hu Mengdie was dating Li Zhuangsheng, she only felt a slight displeasure, but then she sincerely wished Hu Mengdie well and was happy for Hu Mengdie's change.

However, after witnessing Hu Mengdie's happiness firsthand, her previously calm heart began to stir with different emotions. Li Zhuangsheng is quite handsome, and seems a bit more shy... He's so good to Hu Mengdie! Does a boyfriend like that really exist?
Xie Jiangqing noticed everything that Li Zhuangsheng did for Hu Mengdie. In fact, even if she didn't want to know, Hu Mengdie would still share it with her with great interest.

Xie Jiangqing gradually became jealous, feeling both happy for Hu Mengdie and envious. This distorted feeling finally reached its peak on Hu Mengdie's first birthday after the two started dating.

Why? I was here first! I knew him much longer! If I had been the one who went on that blind date with him...

Even though she was burning with jealousy, Xie Jiangqing dared not show it in the slightest, suppressing her envy fiercely. Hu Mengdie was her best friend, and so much prettier than her; her jealousy would only make her look ugly.

At this moment, a rift finally appeared in their relationship—no, more accurately, it was reset, nothing existed anymore. But Xie Jiangqing's heart at this moment was not only filled with ugly smugness, but also with a trace of fear and unease.

They used to be so close, but now they're like strangers. She had witnessed how much Li Zhuangsheng loved Hu Mengdie, but compared to his current indifference, Xie Jiangqing felt a chilling sense of alienation.

"Isn't Li Zhuangsheng being a bit too heartless towards Hu Mengdie?" she suddenly thought.

Although this seems obvious.

“Okay… but believe me, they really didn’t do anything! They just went to ask questions!” Xie Jiangqing said.

"Well, okay, I see."

Li Zhuangsheng sighed softly and nodded. He was no longer able to explain anything.

Xie Jiangqing nodded inexplicably, still feeling strange.

"Then I'm leaving..." Xie Jiangqing got up to leave, but when she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn back and stare at Li Zhuangsheng. "Hey!"

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing." Xie Jiangqing hesitated at the door for a moment, then couldn't help touching her hair and whispered, "Do you think I've changed at all?"

Li Zhuangsheng was slightly taken aback, then realized: "You changed your hairstyle?"

"Mmm! What do you think?" Xie Jiangqing's face brightened. "It's pretty, a bit like Nuolan from 'iPartment'!"

"How is it similar..."

Xie Jiangqing grumbled somewhat discontentedly, but what the other person said was also kind, after all, Nuolan was a great beauty. She was happily preparing to leave when Li Zhuangsheng suddenly called her back.

“I told her that she might have misunderstood something, and that she should talk to her. Next time, she doesn’t need to lie to me, or she can just say she has something to do and doesn’t need to explain anything… I think it’s quite awkward.”

"Oh... she's also concerned about your feelings."

"Oh, by the way, are you guys busy tomorrow?"

"No rush, no rush. I've asked everything I needed to ask. I won't go looking for him again!"

"Okay, I'll have the coach come over."

……

"Mengke, thank you for today." Hu Mengdie teased Xuanxuan in her arms, her eyes smiling. "Let Jiang Qing come with me."

She was very grateful to Hu Mengke for bringing Xie Jiangqing along; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face Qi Haoyu alone today.

Although Hu Mengke's attitude is sometimes hard to understand, the two are sisters after all, and she still cares about her.

The other person's somewhat strange personality is probably related to her experiences over the years.

"It's what I should do," Hu Mengke said with a faint smile. "Did you have any good things to do today, sister?"

"Well, I feel like I've learned quite a lot... but unfortunately, I still can't remember anything."

What do you think of Qi Haoyu?

Hu Mengdie's smile vanished instantly, and after a long while, she gave a strange, bitter smile: "Actually, I don't know."

Hu Mengke smiled slightly, her tone indifferent: "Didn't Sister Jiang Qing say that he wasn't a good person?"

“Yes, yes, I’m willing to believe Jiang Qing on this point… but I really have no recollection of what bad things he did to me. Jiang Qing can’t say either, so…” Hu Mengdie pursed her lips, looking very troubled, “I also find it hard to truly hate him.”

"After all, you don't remember, do you?"

Hu Mengdie looked at Hu Mengke: "You really don't know how he and I broke up?"

Hu Mengke calmly shook her head: "You didn't tell me. Sister, do you care about Qi Haoyu?"

Hu Mengdie hesitated for a moment, then gently put Xuanxuan down. Biting her lip, her smile held a hint of bitterness and helplessness: "I don't know what kind of feeling it is, it just feels strange... After all, we were together for six years, from our second year of high school to graduation from university, such a long time, almost..."

"Yes, that was practically your entire youth." Hu Mengke grinned. "It's such a pity, you've forgotten such wonderful memories." (End of Chapter)
