Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Is that what Li Xiuyu said?" Xie Jiangqing was both surprised and delighted.

“Yes, that’s what she said.” After repeating Li Xiuyu’s words, Hu Mengke said softly, “I think what she said makes a lot of sense. My brother-in-law isn’t the kind of snob who would date a rich woman. Qin Luanyu’s family background is too good, which might actually make my brother-in-law hesitate. Moreover, this time it can be considered a blessing in disguise. My brother-in-law clearly told me that there is no possibility between him and Qin Luanyu. He wouldn’t lie. At least he definitely thinks so now.”

Xie Jiangqing nodded silently. She did agree with Hu Mengke's words; Li Zhuangsheng wasn't the kind of person who liked to curry favor. Moreover, judging from Li Zhuangsheng's previous rejection of Hu Mengdie, he actually had a very strong sense of pride, so it was normal for him not to accept the steel wool flower!

Despite Qin Luanyu's flowery words, the vast gap between the two was an undeniable fact, and such a large gap in reality was not something that could be easily overcome!

So, it seems the opponent isn't actually that strong... No matter how outstanding Qin Luanyu is, it depends on Li Zhuangsheng's own wishes! After all, Li Zhuangsheng could reject the Hu Mengdie and Hu Mengke sisters, so what difference would it make if he rejected Qin Luanyu as well?
"if it is like this……"

Xie Jiangqing suddenly realized that she might actually have the best chance of winning right now!

There's no possibility of a relationship between Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie, and it's almost certain they're already divorced. Hu Mengke, on the other hand, has significant disadvantages due to her inherent weaknesses.
Could it be...? Xie Jiangqing's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but glance at Hu Mengke.

Actually, it wouldn't be so bad if it were just me alone, right? Besides, I didn't intentionally steal Hu Mengdie's man. Hu Mengdie couldn't salvage the situation on her own, and Li Zhuangsheng also disliked her... What she did was indeed excessive. She was the one who insisted on getting a divorce and breaking up. I even told her not to go to Qi Haoyu, but she didn't listen to me!
So, I wouldn't say I stole someone else's husband! You two are over now, you can't just keep occupying the toilet without doing your business...

"So, we still have a chance, right?" Hu Mengke smiled at Xie Jiangqing. "Let's see when Qin Luanyu leaves."

"Yes, yes!" Xie Jiangqing nodded. "If that Qin guy doesn't leave, he'll always be a menace!"

"Sister Jiang Qing, you should find a way to get rid of her," Hu Mengke said.

"Well, they are Li Zhuangsheng's guest after all, we can't just do whatever we want..."

Hu Mengke's eyes darkened slightly. Before Qin Luanyu arrived, the situation wasn't too bad. But Qin Luanyu's arrival indirectly strengthened Xie Jiangqing's resolve. Compared to Xie Jiangqing, she didn't actually have any advantages; aside from appearance, she was completely outmatched.

With her job, family background, appearance, and even romantic history, Xie Jiangqing is top-notch in the marriage market, perhaps even more suitable for Li Zhuangsheng than Qin Luanyu. Even Li Zhuangsheng's parents wouldn't have any objections to Xie Jiangqing as their new daughter-in-law, or find any fault with her!
If Xie Jiangqing is truly determined, she definitely won't win in a direct confrontation. Even if Qin Luanyu is eliminated, her situation will still be very dangerous.

She didn't believe Xie Jiangqing could willingly share Li Zhuangsheng. If she were Xie Jiangqing, she wouldn't share him either!
"Well then, let's take this into consideration first?" Hu Mengke coughed lightly. "Although it was Sister Xiuyu who said it, we can't let our guard down. Qin Luanyu's methods are too strange."

"Mmm-hmm!" Xie Jiangqing nodded repeatedly on the surface, but in her heart she was planning how to get along with Li Zhuangsheng next.

……

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Luanyu raised an eyebrow in the study.

"Do you know Xie Jiangqing...?" Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but ask, but he couldn't finish his sentence.

"what do you know?"

Do you know that Xie Jiangqing likes me...? Li Zhuangsheng recalled that night when the four of them went out to dinner, and Qin Luanyu seemed to be implying something at the end.

At the time, I didn't realize it, but it just felt strange. However, now that I know Xie Jiangqing likes him, Qin Luanyu was probably making a veiled attack.

Li Zhuangsheng sighed, "Oh well, never mind. It's nothing..." Why bring this up?

"Do I know that Sister Xie likes you?" Qin Luanyu asked.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly: "You're a tapeworm in my stomach."

This is terrifying. One Li Xiuyu is enough, but now there's another one.

"I feel like your attitude towards Sister Xie has suddenly become a bit strange. You two wouldn't make eye contact during meals, it was like you were avoiding each other." Qin Luanyu stretched and smiled faintly. "Did she confess to you? Or did you catch her?"

“...Actually, I stumbled upon it by accident.” Li Zhuangsheng’s lips twitched slightly, and he sighed.

"So, what are your feelings for her?"

“I don’t know how to say it…” Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head, his eyes seemingly smiling, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. “I think she’s a very nice person, but I don’t know why she likes me… Besides, I have a girlfriend now.”

"Sister Ke, huh?" Qin Luanyu raised an eyebrow, then became serious. "I'd like to give you a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

“Tell me, tell me!” Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously.

Qin Luanyu said seriously, "Stop avoiding it. The longer this drags on, the more annoying it will become, and it will also affect your novel's progress. I suggest you talk to Sister Xie about it as soon as possible. The sooner you are honest with each other, the sooner you can get rid of your psychological burden."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded repeatedly, admitting that Qin Luanyu was right. He wasn't unsure of what to do before, but rather lacked a little push.

Qin Luanyu smiled and said, "How about I offer my bedroom so you two can talk alone?"

"Okay, okay, thank you so much!" Li Zhuangsheng said repeatedly.

So, he's clearly just a good buddy! How could he possibly have those kinds of feelings for me! Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself.

How could someone like Qin Luanyu, a top-tier character who should only exist in the world of anime, like him? This kind of development is even more fantastical than Hu Mengdie liking this good-for-nothing guy since high school!
Besides, what girl would encourage her crush to drive her Ferrari to pick up other girls? What girl would offer advice on her crush's love life in such a situation?

So, pure friendship between men and women is still possible! Although the last guy I had was Xie Jiangqing... but Qin Luanyu is definitely a true buddy!
"You still care about him quite a bit."

A strange sound came from behind them.

"Haha, after all, he's the person I care about the most!" Qin Luanyu laughed and punched Li Zhuangsheng on the shoulder. "Hey, let's sleep with Sister Xie, then I can squeeze in with Sister Xiuyu tonight."

"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback, then waved his hand with a wry smile, "What nonsense are you talking about!" (End of Chapter)
