Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng tilted his head, and after a long while, he finally reacted. "Ah!!!"

Qin Luanyu remained silent, but took out her phone and made a QQ call. The next moment, Li Zhuangsheng's phone rang; the caller was Village Chief Chu.

“…Hello.” Li Zhuangsheng answered blankly.

"Hey bro, have you seen a stunning beauty who is described as 'possessing the essence of Yin and Yang, nurtured by the divine beauty of heaven, naturally extraordinary, and unparalleled in the world'?" Qin Luanyu asked with a grin on the phone.

Li Zhuangsheng stared blankly, glancing at his phone one moment and then at Qin Luanyu the next.

"Look, I see it... This looks like Wang Can's 'Ode to the Goddess', doesn't it?"

"As expected of Brother Poor Guy, he was already so knowledgeable in high school!" Qin Luanyu hung up the phone, stepped forward and touched Li Zhuangsheng's face, full of praise.

"No, you, you are actually, Village Chief Chu..." Li Zhuangsheng still couldn't believe it.

"This lady next to you should know, right?" Qin Luanyu blinked. "Long time no see, lady! You've gotten more and more beautiful!"

Xie Jiangqing bit her lip. It was her, it was definitely her!

This little thing is indeed a fox spirit! Where did this little fox spirit come from? Is there no Taoist priest who can control her?

Xie Jiangqing gritted her teeth inwardly: "Hmm, hello. My name is Xie Jiangqing."

"So your name is Xie Jiangqing. I wonder what Jiang something-Qing means?"

"The river of the river, the clear sky of the clear sky."

Qin Luanyu blinked: "What a beautiful name! 'Jiangcheng is like a painting, and the mountains are bathed in the clear sky at dawn'... So it comes from a poem by Li Bai. How poetic!"

"Huh?" Xie Jiangqing was a little taken aback. "Oh, it was just something I made up..."

"Speaking of which, there is also a line in Du Fu's poem: 'The river rain used to be unpredictable, but when the sky clears, it suddenly scatters like silk threads.'"

Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but say.

"Brother Poor Guy is indeed learned since childhood!" Qin Luanyu laughed, her eyes like crescent moons. "This poem by Du Fu is not commonly seen."

Li Zhuangsheng was embarrassed by the beautiful young lady driving the Ferrari's compliment and said with a slightly flushed face, "Because I prefer the second line of his poem, 'Late autumn chills everything, today the clouds pass by slowly.'"

Qin Luanyu clapped her hands, her face showing surprise: "Really? Actually, I quite like this sentence too. It feels very relatable!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zhuangsheng nodded happily. "That's exactly the feeling! Every time I read it, I can imagine an autumn dusk after a rain, and my clothes seem to be covered in a cool breeze!"

"That's right. Speaking of dusk, Quan Deyu also wrote about it: 'The sandy beach is flat and the trees are shrouded in mist, the tide is high and the evening river is clear.' It's quite evocative!"

Li Zhuangsheng asked in surprise, "You know Quan Deyu?"

Qin Luanyu smiled meaningfully: "Of course, didn't you explain his 'Five Miscellaneous Poems' to me before?"

Li Zhuangsheng was embarrassed and his face immediately turned red!

Ugh, what did I do? I actually discussed ancient erotic poems with a girl?
Li Zhuangsheng, you're not some old pervert, are you?! Everyone says you're respectable, but who knew you were doing this kind of thing behind my back!
Pah! I despise you!

"Um, um..." Li Zhuangsheng stammered in embarrassment.

Qin Luanyu smiled again upon seeing this. Her smile was truly beautiful; despite her cool and sassy demeanor, a small dimple was subtly revealed when she smiled.

"I was just kidding, you little rascal! Haven't you read The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? The prettier the girl, the more likely she is to lie. A naive boy like you should be careful, you're easily fooled!" Qin Luanyu gently patted Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder, her smile growing even brighter. "Actually, you only told me that when Quan Deyu was prime minister, he read the archives from Emperor Taizong's era and marveled at the harmonious relationship between the emperor and his ministers during that time. The 'Five Miscellaneous Poems' was my suggestion! Sorry, I thought you were so cute after losing your memory, so I couldn't resist teasing you a little!"

"Cough, cough!" Xie Jiangqing finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.

Are you two flirting in front of me? Using my name to start a conversation? Trying to make me feel involved, huh?

Tolerable or unbearable?
"Um, hello." Pulling Li Zhuangsheng behind her, her tone slightly unfriendly, "You, what brings you here again?" Qin Luanyu blinked: "Of course I'm here for tourism..."

"You're here for tourism at this time of year? Aren't you going to school?"

"It's okay, the president of our university is my dad's friend."

?

You're crazy, I ask you the question of the earth, and you answer the question of the heavens!
"Then why did you decide to come here again? There's really nothing fun to do in this shabby little place!"

"Really? I think your place is truly blessed with natural beauty and natural wonders. I've heard that you also have a First Mountain here, with calligraphy by Mi Fu, and even Sun Wukong has visited it!"

"Oh dear, it's just a small, run-down hill..."

Before Xie Jiangqing could speak, Li Zhuangsheng nodded excitedly again: "Yes, yes, yes! In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong came to our First Mountain to ask for reinforcements even though he couldn't defeat the Yellow-Eyebrowed King!"

"Haha, I remember back then we sought out the Great Sage National Preceptor, Bodhisattva Wang, but the Bodhisattva was unavailable, so he sent Little Prince Zhang instead, but he was still captured by the spies." Qin Luanyu smiled, revealing a hint of longing. "I remember the book saying that your First Mountain has Ruiyan Temple, Dongyue Palace, Wuxian Temple, and Guishan Temple, with the sound of bells and incense rising into the blue sky. There is also Glass Spring, Wuta Valley, Baxiantai, and Xinghua Garden, where the mountain scenery and tree colors reflect the beauty of the city."

"Oh, haha, Wu Cheng'en is just talking nonsense. He was from Huai'an, so he's just bragging!" Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head and laughed heartily, his face beaming with pride.

"What's the point of saying that Mount Tai, Mount Song, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, and Mount Xiu are all the same? This place is like a fairyland... You're just saying that your number one mountain surpasses all the Five Sacred Mountains!"

"Oh, no, no, that's really not true. It's not that good... hahaha, but if you want to see it, I can take you to the First Mountain!"

"Stop! Stop!"

Xie Jiangqing was somewhat embarrassed and angry. Why are you all chatting amongst yourselves again!

"Are you here for tourism?" Xie Jiangqing asked.

“Yes.” Qin Luanyu blinked.

"You're here for tourism at this time of year?"

"Is that not allowed?" Qin Luanyu smiled. "Your county's official cultural and tourism account recommended me to come!"

"...What's wrong with your car?"

"A friend of mine from Nanjing, I begged him for a long time, and he finally agreed to let me play for a month or two!"

"...Wait a minute!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Xie Jiangqing quickly pulled Li Zhuangsheng aside and gritted her teeth: "What's wrong with you, reader?"

Li Zhuangsheng blinked innocently: "I don't know, didn't she say you've met her before?"

"I... damn, don't you think this is suspicious?" Xie Jiangqing lowered her voice.

"What's strange about this?"

"A girl, skipping school, driving a Ferrari to this dump to hang out with you? You don't want to be kidnapped by human traffickers!"

Li Zhuangsheng was shocked: "No way? What human trafficker drives a Ferrari? Aren't they all in vans? Good luck to haul them away!"

"You seem quite experienced?"

"I was fortunate enough to experience it once when I was a child..."

Xie Jiangqing clicked her tongue in astonishment, then solemnly threatened, "Human traffickers have gotten more sophisticated these days. They don't kidnap you anymore; they scam you into going abroad voluntarily, then kidnap you! So my advice is, ignore her, let's go home right away!" (End of Chapter)
