Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"So... well, anyway, that's how it is! We're already married, so let's just live like this!"

Hu Mengdie's cheeks burned. She was used to being confessed to, but this was the first time she had confessed to someone, or even proposed to them.

However, the expected excitement from Li Zhuangsheng did not materialize; instead, the other party fell silent.

Why aren't you saying anything? Have you gone crazy with happiness? Hu Mengdie finally raised her head, only to see that Li Zhuangsheng's expression was unusually calm, with no trace of happiness, and he was completely dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Hu Mengdie shook Li Zhuangsheng, wondering if he still couldn't accept this happy reality. Should she kiss him to confirm it?
"You mean, no, we won't divorce?" Li Zhuangsheng stammered as he came to his senses.

"Hmm, more or less..." Hu Mengdie nodded.

Li Zhuangsheng became agitated: "Did your parents force you? You absolutely mustn't force yourself; this is a matter of life and death for you!"

Hu Mengdie shook her head and chuckled, surprised that the other person's first reaction at this moment was still to care about her.
"I didn't force myself; this is my own idea!" Hu Mengdie said with a smile.

"No, no, how could you... look at me... I'm not handsome, I'm not rich, and I'm a total shut-in... I'm really, really not good enough for you!"

"Don't talk about yourself like that!" Hu Mengdie grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's hand, speaking earnestly, "You have many strengths too! Don't be self-conscious!"

"Don't you... dislike me?"

Just because I didn't like you before doesn't mean I won't like you now... I think you're pretty good too!

Li Zhuangsheng was so anxious that he was almost spitting blood. He scratched his ears and cheeks and stomped his feet, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time!
What's wrong with you now?

Hu Mengdie stared in surprise at Li Zhuangsheng, whose face was flushed and who was gesturing wildly. Was he going crazy with joy like Fan Jin?
"I think we should just break up..." Li Zhuangsheng's smile was more like a grimace. "We're really not a good match... You can find someone better!"

"Eh?"

Hu Mengdie's smile froze.

……

"What's with that expression?" Li Xiuyu walked into the study and saw Li Zhuangsheng sitting on the bed in a daze.

“Something’s happened,” Li Zhuangsheng said blankly.

"You look like the sky is falling... Could it be that Hu Mengdie confessed to you?" Li Xiuyu was taken aback.

Li Zhuangsheng raised his head sharply.

"Really?" Li Xiuyu exclaimed in surprise. "Wow, Hu Mengke is really capable!"

"You already knew this?"

"Of course I just found out! Hu Mengdie didn't tell me before she confessed! But since Hu Mengke wants to stay by your side and be your mistress, he definitely needs to ensure that Hu Mengdie's position as the main wife remains unshaken. So, the most important thing is to change Hu Mengdie's mind." Li Xiuyu leaned closer gossipy. "Hey, what did Hu Mengdie say?"

"She didn't say much, just that... she didn't want a divorce."

"How did you answer?"

"I didn't really answer, I just said... divorce is better."

Li Zhuangsheng tilted his head, seemingly still not recovered from the initial shock.

Li Xiuyu patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay to refuse."

"I really don't understand how she could like me!" Li Zhuangsheng slapped his thigh.

"Is this important?"

Li Zhuangsheng remained silent, but for a fleeting moment, a look of anger crossed his face.

"Alright, since you've already refused, don't worry about it anymore," Li Xiuyu said, sitting down next to Li Zhuangsheng.

Li Zhuangsheng nodded and continued to squat on the bed, lost in thought.

The next day, neither Li Zhuangsheng nor Hu Mengdie went out. Hu Mengke entered Li Xiuyu's room, her face inexplicably gloomy. "Sister Xiuyu, what... happened to them?"

"Didn't you hear from your sister? He rejected her."

Hu Mengke had no reply and turned to leave.

"You guys still don't understand him."

Li Xiuyu chuckled softly and muttered to himself.

"Brother-in-law!" Hu Mengke walked into the study.

"Why are you here?" Li Zhuangsheng turned to look at her, forcing a smile.

What did my sister say to you yesterday?

"He didn't say anything."

"Don't lie to me, did she say something to you...?"

"It's nothing really, you don't need to take it to heart."

"My sister confessed to you, right? And you rejected her? Was it because of me? You idiot, why did you reject her?!"

Hu Mengke walked quickly to Li Zhuangsheng, her face showing an expression she had never seen before, as if she were furious.

Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but lean back: "What, what are you going to do?"

"I already said I'm willing to be a mistress, I'm happy to do it, so why are you refusing her!"

"No, this isn't..."

"Don't worry about what she says now, I have a way to make her accept our relationship!" Hu Mengke threatened fiercely from above. "Go tell her you're wrong, and from now on, my sister and I will take care of you. Can't the three of us be happy together?"

Li Zhuangsheng stood there for a long time, then finally nodded blankly.

"Then hurry up and go!" Hu Mengke said with relief.

“But…” Li Zhuangsheng said, “I don’t want to be with her.”

Hu Mengke was stunned. "Brother-in-law, what are you thinking!"

You don't like my sister? Fine, fine, even if you don't like my sister, you still don't want this buy-one-get-one-free opportunity?

It's not like you're being forced to choose one of two options!

Hu Mengke was really anxious now. She grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's shoulders, almost crying: "Brother-in-law, I'm serious. Don't listen to my sister saying that we'll break up in the future. I promise you, in three days... no, two days! Two days, I'll make her agree to our relationship! Can't you be a little more tactful now?"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled awkwardly, his bitter expression deepening: "You've really misunderstood. Actually, this has nothing to do with you. I just... don't want to be with her."

Hu Mengke froze, filled with disbelief: "You, you...why? She, she's actually alright...do you hate her? Oh, I see, do you think there's something between her and Qi Haoyu? No, no, brother-in-law, I assure you, she hasn't even let Qi Haoyu touch her hand during this time! If I'm lying to you, may I be struck by lightning!"

Li Zhuangsheng quickly covered Hu Mengke's mouth: "Don't make such a vicious oath, I believe you."

"Then you still..."

"I just don't want to be with her."

"Why is this happening?!" Hu Mengke cried out, stamping her feet.

Li Zhuangsheng was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter and embarrassed smile: "Well... maybe it's just that I don't like her, I just don't want to be with her."

"There has to be a reason!"

Hu Mengke never imagined that after all her meticulous planning and calculations, just when she was about to score the final goal... she would discover that there was no goal at all! (End of Chapter)
