Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Ugh, I'm so tired!" Xie Jiangqing walked in, carrying a bag of fruit. "Could you help me carry this?"

"Don't buy anything next time you come; your salary isn't high," Li Zhuangsheng said kindly.

Xie Jiangqing's lips twitched slightly. I kindly brought you food, and you actually hit a nerve!
"Don't worry, I didn't buy it. A friend gave it to my parents." Xie Jiangqing said sullenly, "I brought it for you!"

"I'm so sorry, this is for your parents..."

"Indeed, I shouldn't have brought it to you," Xie Jiangqing grumbled. "You didn't even say thank you!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Zhuangsheng laughed. "You're like Trump."

Xie Jiangqing laughed out loud: "Never mind, no need to thank me. Just peel an apple for me, I want to eat it."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded and went to the kitchen. Xie Jiangqing looked around and asked, "Where's Mengke?"

"Xuanxuan seems to be sick. She took Xuanxuan to the hospital and hasn't been home for three days."

Are you sick? Is it serious?

"She said it wasn't serious and that she's almost fully recovered now. She seems to be at her parents' house."

"Oh... wait, has Mengdie already left work today?"

“Yes, she’s in her room. Go find her.” Li Zhuangsheng handed the peeled apple to Xie Jiangqing. “She’s not in a good mood. You’re here now, so go and comfort her.”

Xie Jiangqing was taken aback: "What happened to her now?"

She sighed. Hu Mengdie always seemed to have new problems every few days.

Li Zhuangsheng awkwardly turned his face away: "Uh, well, it's partly my fault, isn't it?"

Xie Jiangqing blinked: "You finally couldn't resist and pinned her down?"

"In that case, I should be in the police station right now!" Li Zhuangsheng said irritably. "I'm not a pervert!"

Xie Jiangqing laughed, holding Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder: "I thought it was because Hu Mengke had been gone for a few days and you couldn't help it... or that you mistook Hu Mengdie for Hu Mengke or something."

Li Zhuangsheng curled his lips: "I'm not so old and blind as to be blind."

"This apple tastes really good, would you like to try a bite?" Xie Jiangqing waved the half-eaten apple in front of Li Zhuangsheng.

Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, picked up the knife, and prepared to cut off a piece, but Xie Jiangqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think I have a virus?"

"Isn't it said that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Li Zhuangsheng muttered something, put down his knife, and prepared to take a bite of the part he hadn't tried before, but Xie Jiangqing only slightly turned her head, and Li Zhuangsheng still bit into the part she had already eaten.

Xie Jiangqing sneered smugly: "You little boy, you dare to talk to me about the proper distance between men and women?"

Helpless, Li Zhuangsheng skillfully peeled another apple.

"It's delicious, isn't it?" Xie Jiangqing said with a hint of pride.

"Hmm, it's alright." Li Zhuangsheng didn't even look up. "You're going to see Hu Mengdie later, right? Just hand this to her while you're at it."

Xie Jiangqing was taken aback; she had assumed that Li Zhuangsheng wanted the apple for himself.

"You really only think about your wife in everything," Xie Jiangqing said, munching on an apple, her tone enigmatic.

"I feel bad for her," Li Zhuangsheng said.

"I was just about to ask you that, what did you do wrong?" Xie Jiangqing frowned, then suddenly realized, "Did Hu Mengke find out about you and her?"

“Uh…” Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head. Although it wasn’t just for that reason, it seemed that Hu Mengdie also knew about Qi Haoyu’s scumbag nature.

But should she tell Xie Jiangqing about this? After all, in Hu Mengdie's eyes, Xie Jiangqing should not know about her relationship with Hu Mengke.

If Hu Mengdie knew that everyone else knew but was keeping it from her, she would probably have a mental breakdown.

"You, you shouldn't tell her you know," Li Zhuangsheng stammered.

"So that's really why!" Xie Jiangqing frowned, then tapped Li Zhuangsheng's forehead. "Serves you right! If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night!"

Li Zhuangsheng could only manage a wry smile.

"Alright, I know what to do!" Xie Jiangqing said, handing the half-eaten apple to Li Zhuangsheng. "Here, take it. Don't waste it!"

He took the peeled apple from Li Zhuangsheng and strode into Hu Mengdie's room.

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Xie Jiangqing's retreating figure and couldn't help but think of the girl in his class who always chatted with him. Sometimes she would tease him, making him restless and distracted.

"Mengdie, I've missed you so much these past few days!" Xie Jiangqing handed over an apple. "Here, have an apple, I brought it!"

Hu Mengdie looked up at her, bit her lip, and slowly took the gift, but only took a small sip.

"What's wrong? You look terrible."

"I'm fine," Hu Mengdie said softly.

"Do you know your personality hasn't changed at all?" Xie Jiangqing said, putting her arm around Hu Mengdie. "Are you always afraid that people will find out you're not doing well? Are you afraid people will laugh at you?"

Hu Mengdie remained silent, only saying, "I'm sorry."

Xie Jiangqing had told her about Qi Haoyu, but she herself didn't believe what Xie Jiangqing said.

As for why Xie Jiangqing didn't know about Qi Haoyu, it's probably because her past self before losing her memory didn't tell her.

She turned her home upside down, and even caused a huge scandal at school, all because her boyfriend was a despicable scumbag. She simply couldn't bring herself to tell him.

"Sorry for what?" Xie Jiangqing didn't understand.

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

"Sigh, don't tell me that!" Xie Jiangqing quickly waved her hand. Seeing Hu Mengdie's dejected appearance, she smiled and pinched Hu Mengdie's stomach. "You haven't been to work these past few days, have you? I feel like you've gained a little weight."

Hu Mengdie pursed her lips: "What kind of person do you think Li Zhuangsheng is?"

Xie Jiangqing blinked, puzzled. "You mean before or after the amnesia?"

Are they very different?

"Before I lost my memory, I wasn't actually very familiar with them... because we rarely played together."

Xie Jiangqing was full of resentment when she talked about this. If we're talking about valuing romance over friendship, Hu Mengdie is definitely the one who values ​​romance over friendship the most!
The two of them almost never invited her when they went out, whether it was to Huai'an or Nanjing, for cycling or for a date... I don't know if Hu Mengdie disliked her as a third wheel, or if she was simply being wary of her best friend!
“But I don’t think there’s much difference.” Xie Jiangqing squinted her eyes and pondered. “However, Li Zhuangsheng before his amnesia was a bit more mature, well, maybe a bit more shy, a bit more introverted. But still, there’s not much difference!”

"Oh……"

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in Li Zhuangsheng? Why are you asking about this now?"

Xie Jiangqing glanced sideways and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be quite a few photos of Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie on the thumbtack board, and her heart sank inexplicably.

Hu Mengdie lowered her head and brushed her hair aside: "I... I was just asking... After all, that's our relationship... I also want to know a little more about him..." (End of Chapter)
