Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

“Girls? We’re a humanities class, and the vast majority of us are girls,” Li Zhuangsheng sighed.

The school's damn insane schedule is really annoying, but I really miss those ordinary classmates.

But now he can never go back. A dream of a thousand mountains, a shadow cast by an arrow through the window. A fleeting moment, a thousand years of history.

Thinking about it makes me sad again. Everything was so ordinary back in school. It was like a gust of wind that came out of nowhere, or a rain that came out of nowhere.

"You... like her?" Qin Luanyu narrowed her eyes, toying with her car keys.

"No no……"

Li Zhuangsheng blushed and waved his hand.

"Duplicity!"

"I don't really like her, it's just... I have a little bit of a crush on her."

Qin Luanyu laughed, then gritted her teeth: "She's very pretty, isn't she?"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded, somewhat boastfully: "Yes, she's the prettiest girl in our class."

"Oh—so you're the class beauty!" Qin Luanyu drawled, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and sneered, "My apologies, but you're not bad either, you're the school heartthrob!"

“I was…” Li Zhuangsheng’s lips twitched, and his face flushed. “I was the school heartthrob’s brother… Oh my god, did I tell you I was the school heartthrob before?”

"You're not that shameless."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Qin Luanyu scoffed, "Don't worry, looks aren't your strong point. Even if you said you were the school heartthrob, I wouldn't believe you!"

Li Zhuangsheng's face fell. Can't we have a proper conversation? Even if it's the truth, I hope you don't say it!

"And then, what happened to that class beauty?" Qin Luanyu asked casually.

"I don't know, actually I'm not very close to her... We haven't been in touch for years."

Li Zhuangsheng had actually looked for traces of her on his social media platforms, only seeing her on QQ. However, she probably hadn't been online for a long time; her last post was from the year she graduated, and she probably doesn't use that QQ account anymore.

"Poor thing, maybe she's already married by now." Qin Luanyu grinned. "You were born before I was born, and I was born after you were old. You regret that I was born too late, and I regret that you were born too early."

"Stop joking, she had nothing to do with me... Actually, she's always optimistic and cheerful. But she should be married now, she's a really good person." Li Zhuangsheng sighed, "Actually, my current mood is more like 'The ox passes over the stone, leaving no hoofprints... Damn! I felt nothing when I first saw that poem, but now I understand the melancholy in it, it's like a wild goose leaving footprints on the snow!'"

Qin Luanyu raised an eyebrow: "You read 'Poems Inscribed on Tongguan Kiln Porcelain' at such a young age? I also really like the poems in it, such as: I have a heart full of thoughts, but no one to share them with. I send the wind to blow away the clouds, and speak to the moon on the horizon."

Li Zhuangsheng paused, then nodded: "Actually, my favorite line is, 'I only grieve for the birds' parting, and I hate that so many ancient people have been sent off.' Alas! Sorrow, oh sorrow!"

The two started with the line "You were born before I was born," and their conversation revolved around poems inscribed on unearthed Tang Dynasty porcelain. Although they didn't explicitly state it beforehand, they were perfectly in sync.

"Is it because of your amnesia?" Qin Luanyu asked curiously. "Hey, what does amnesia feel like? Do you feel like you've traveled through time?"

“That’s right. It feels like life is but a fleeting journey.” Li Zhuangsheng said sadly again.

He recalled that when he was in Nanjing, the doctor asked him how it felt to suddenly arrive ten years in the future. He was stunned for a long time but could only answer that he didn't know how to say it.

Qin Luan noticed his melancholy and patted Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder comfortingly: "Alright, alright, what's done is done. Dwelling on the past all day won't change anything. The days are short and the nights are long, so why not light a candle and go for a stroll? Enjoy yourself while you can, why wait until the future!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Li Zhuangsheng coughed lightly. "Actually, I adapted quite quickly. Sigh, although it's a bit sad sometimes, at least I don't have to get up so early to go to school every day! Let me tell you, having to get up at 5:30 in the morning is simply inhumane!"

Qin Luanyu smiled and said, "I know, I know, you told me... Your school is really tough, but my high school was also very tiring, I had to train every day!"

"Training for what?"

“Track and field? I run the 100 meters!” “Oh, you’re an athlete!” Li Zhuangsheng suddenly realized, “I knew it about your legs…”

Qin Luanyu sat down next to Li Zhuangsheng and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with my leg?"

Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but glance at Qin Luanyu's legs again: "I told you, your legs are really long!"

"Is it just long?"

"...The lines are also beautiful."

"That's right, I'm a national first-class athlete!"

Wow, that's amazing!

Li Zhuangsheng's face was full of admiration, and he couldn't help but applaud in admiration.

Qin Luanyu finally smiled triumphantly. Not bad, Li Zhuangsheng is even cuter now than before, unlike last time!
"Of course, I got my first-class athlete title for free!" Qin Luanyu smiled sideways. "My legs are all muscle, rock hard!"

"Oh……"

Li Zhuangsheng looked down again; it didn't seem very hard.

"What expression? You don't believe me?" Qin Luanyu said indignantly, "If you don't believe me, come and touch it!"

"No, no, I believe it, I believe it!"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's obvious you don't believe me!"

Qin Luanyu's eyes widened, and she grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's hand and placed it on her lap.

"How about it? Aren't they all rock-hard muscles!"

Li Zhuangsheng's face flushed slightly. Qin Luanyu's thighs were not only beautiful but also extremely delicate, like touching some fine silk, making one unable to resist.

But after touching it a few times, Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but honestly say, "No, it still feels soft."

"Nonsense!" Qin Luanyu was even angrier. "You can pinch it and see if it's soft or hard!"

Li Zhuangsheng gently squeezed it again, and it was indeed still soft, but it felt even firmer and more bouncy than Hu Mengke's legs. It felt so good that he couldn't bear to let go.

It's as if works of art should be held in one's hands and carefully examined and appreciated.

"Well... it's kind of hard, I guess." Li Zhuangsheng stammered, deciding to tell a white lie.

"Your perfunctory expression is practically written all over your face!"

Qin Luanyu grew increasingly dissatisfied, grabbing Li Zhuangsheng's hand and stroking it back and forth on her legs. Li Zhuangsheng, feeling both embarrassed and shy, turned a face redder than an apple.

"How's my leg?"

"Mmm... rock hard, rock hard, definitely a top-tier athlete!"

Li Zhuangsheng bent over, secretly cursing himself for being so spineless.

"I'm asking how it feels to you, is it nice to touch?"

However, Qin Luanyu's anger vanished, replaced by a smile and a sly glint in her eyes.

"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback.

"Lots of guys chase after me, saying my legs are especially beautiful. I don't really understand, are these legs really that good? How do they feel to the touch?" (End of Chapter)
