Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Li Zhuangsheng walked up to Hu Mengdie, looking ashamed yet resigned to his fate.

Hu Mengdie looked up at him without saying a word.

"Don't stay silent, I know I was wrong... I was really wrong!" Li Zhuangsheng apologized sincerely. "You can blame me, but it's all my fault. Don't misunderstand Meng Ke, she has always cared about you."

She cares about me? Ha! She's probably more concerned about when I'll die so she can make room for me!
Hu Mengdie knew that Hu Mengke definitely hadn't told Li Zhuangsheng the truth, so Li Zhuangsheng only thought that he knew about their "illicit affair".

Of course, she has no intention of bringing it up at the moment. This matter is too embarrassing, and she doesn't know where to begin.

She was just disheartened and didn't want to say anything.

You're no good either! Even if we really get divorced, you shouldn't be looking for someone else so soon! Hu Mengdie thought resentfully.

But she just wouldn't say anything, she just sulked.

Don't try to please me. Instead of wasting your time, go and please your "Meng Ke"!

I don't know what my parents would think of you if they found out you cheated on your wife with your sister-in-law. They would definitely think they made a mistake in choosing you!
"Fine, if you don't want to talk to me, then I won't get in your way..." Li Zhuangsheng awkwardly licked his lips after being met with a cold shoulder. "You still need to eat early. Aren't you punishing yourself by not eating? I bought you... Xiuyu bought you lettuce, shrimp, zucchini, and a big chicken leg. You can eat a little bit if you want."

Hu Mengdie remained silent, but when she heard Li Zhuangsheng mention "zucchini and lettuce," her nose suddenly stung with tears.

She didn't know why Li Zhuangsheng knew her preferences, but why at this particular time! Why is my life like this? My life was going so well, why has it become such a mess!
Why did I lose my memory? Give me back my memories right now!

"Hey, hey, don't cry!"

Seeing Hu Mengdie's tearful face, Li Zhuangsheng was terrified. Had he made the girl cry? However, as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Mengdie's tears finally broke free and streamed down her face.

"You, you, you can hit me then, you, you don't cry..." Li Zhuangsheng was at a loss, his face full of embarrassment.

"Am I really that bad..." Hu Mengdie sobbed, finally managing to utter her first words, "Why is my life always so unsatisfactory?"

"No, you're not bad at all... It's all other people's fault, you didn't do anything wrong!" Li Zhuangsheng hurriedly comforted him, "Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes!"

"You don't need to comfort me. I know I'm useless. I can't do anything right... I'm just a worthless person..."

"How can you say you're useless? I think you're amazing! You were the school beauty back in military training!"

Hu Mengdie cried even louder: "I know I'm just a pretty face!"

Li Zhuangsheng quickly waved his hand again: "No, no, no, you dance very well. Was it you who danced during military training? I was in the boys' company next to yours, and the whole company fell in love with you back then!"

“I know how you all see me, that I’m good for nothing except my looks…”

"Absolutely not!" Li Zhuangsheng raised his voice. "You actually have many good points!"

"Liar!"

“Really! For example, you’re very beautiful, you’re very proactive…” Li Zhuangsheng trailed off, stammering, “And, you’re usually very gentle and kind, and you have a beautiful smile…”

Think quickly! Think quickly! What are Hu Mengdie's strengths...? You're a future platinum author, hurry up and make them up!
"You remain calm and composed!"

For example, being able to remain calm and collected when you found out about our relationship.

"You're able to stick to your principles!"

For example, no matter what I did before, you remained steadfast in your dislike for me. "You have a strong personality; you have clear likes and dislikes!"

For example, loving you, Brother Qi, and hating me... although you probably don't hate me as much lately.

"You are very opinionated and decisive!"

For example, if you don't like looking at things from before you lost your memory, you can throw them away, tear them up, or delete them.

"You are always optimistic, confident, and positive!"

For example, your driving skills are clearly mediocre, yet you dare to drive on the road. Xie Jiangqing told you Qi Haoyu is a scumbag, but you didn't believe her and secretly contacted him. I told you I'm a good person, but you still didn't believe me... though you've started to believe me a little more these past few days.

"You never just drift along; you have a clear plan for your life!"

For example, she had just graduated from high school and was already planning to be with Brother Qi forever.

“So you really do have a lot of strengths!” Li Zhuangsheng comforted him sincerely. “Don’t give up on yourself. It’s okay to encounter some setbacks in life. Don’t doubt yourself because of other people’s mistakes!”

Hu Mengdie bit her lip, her sobs gradually subsiding: "Do I really... have that many good qualities?"

"Of course, would I make that up out of thin air? Although we haven't known each other for very long, I've seen all your good qualities!"

Hu Mengdie sobbed softly, thinking that Li Zhuangsheng really understood her, and that he truly loved her... But the grievances in her heart were not so easy to dispel, and she continued to cry softly.

She didn't know why she was crying, she just felt very uncomfortable, and it was really hard not to cry!
"Don't cry..." Li Zhuangsheng said softly, but seeing that Hu Mengdie's crying had gradually stopped, he took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

"I'm sorry," Hu Mengdie said.

"sorry?"

Li Zhuangsheng didn't understand why she would apologize.

Hu Mengdie didn't know why she was apologizing; she felt she had many things to apologize to Li Zhuangsheng for.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Hu Mengdie said softly.

"No, no, don't worry about it!" Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand dismissively and laughed. "What trouble do I have? I'm just a shut-in, I have nothing to do all day anyway!"

"Actually, I'm not as good as you say. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be doing so well now..."

"Helping each other is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation! We're all in the same boat, what can we do when we've both unfortunately lost our memories?"

Hu Mengdie silently gazed at Li Zhuangsheng. He was truly humble and gentle. He never used flowery words, always treated her with respect, and never acted frivolously. Upon closer inspection, he was also quite handsome, and he always appeared by her side when she needed him most.

Fortunately, she married him, so it wasn't a terrible outcome.

“You said that many boys like to watch me dance and lead exercises…” Hu Mengdie stood up, turned sideways as if she wanted to leave, but in the end she didn’t. She just glanced sideways, her cheeks slightly flushed, “Are you one of them?”

"Ah...ah...um."

Li Zhuangsheng's face burned, and a strong sense of shame rose in his heart.

She blushed even like that; how innocent! Hu Mengdie smiled inwardly. (End of Chapter)
