Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"husband?"

Hu Mengdie wore a white dress, her long hair cascading down her back. She stretched, her eyes still sleepy, as if she had just woken up from a long sleep.

"Are there any guests at home?" she asked.

Everyone was stunned.

"what happened?"

Hu Mengdie tilted her head, like a blank sheet of paper, yet soft and fluffy. Like a light, floating cloud, yet with distinct edges and corners.

"Dream, Dream Butterfly?" Xie Jiangqing asked tentatively.

"Jiang Qing, when did you arrive?" Hu Mengdie asked, puzzled.

Xie Jiangqing was stunned again.

"Sister..." Hu Mengke blinked, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You, you remember?"

"I remember something... Hey, what are you guys doing here..."

Hu Mengdie looked puzzled, then suddenly noticed Xie Jiangqing standing close to Li Zhuangsheng, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Xie Jiangqing instinctively jumped away from Li Zhuangsheng, then looked at Hu Mengdie in disbelief: "What was the topic of your undergraduate thesis?"

Hu Mengdie thought for a moment: "On the lack of rights protection functions of trade unions in contemporary China... Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Ah, your memory has returned!" Xie Jiangqing screamed in surprise and joy.

"Huh?" Hu Mengdie was still confused. "What are you talking about..."

"What day is it now?" Hu Mengke asked quickly.

"It's February... Hey, why are you all dressed so lightly? Hey, why am I also..."

"Sister, you are back!"

Xie Jiangqing cheered excitedly, and Hu Mengke also laughed happily.

However, Li Zhuangsheng was completely dumbfounded at this moment. Qin Luanyu quietly looked at Hu Mengdie and raised an eyebrow.

"Sister Butterfly, do you still remember me?"

"You are... Village Chief Chu from Hangzhou?" Hu Mengdie blinked. "Didn't we just eat wontons on Huangpai Street?"

“Yes.” Qin Luanyu smiled.

"The guests are here, why didn't you wake me up?" Hu Mengdie walked to Li Zhuangsheng's side, sat in his lap in a coquettish manner, and said with a hint of reproach in her voice, "Oh dear, why am I feeling dizzy? I can't remember when I went to sleep."

"No, you..."

Li Zhuangsheng finally came to his senses, but looking at the soft and fragrant woman in his arms, he dared not move, at a loss for what to do.

He wanted to push Hu Mengdie away, but the problem was that he vaguely understood that Hu Mengdie seemed to have regained her memories.

Huh? Although the doctor said before that he might never recover his memory, or he might recover it the next day... But, is it really recovered?

What triggered this guy...? Well, he's definitely been triggered these past few days!
"What's wrong? What mischief have you been up to behind my back?" Hu Mengdie giggled and gave Li Zhuangsheng a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Qin Luanyu, then at Li Xiuyu, his eyes pleading for help. But neither of them spoke; they simply observed Hu Mengdie silently.

"You, you should go to the hospital first."

Li Zhuangsheng's face was contorted with grief; he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Why should I go to the hospital?" Hu Mengdie tilted her head.

"This, this matter is very complicated... Believe it or not... It's already April! You've lost your memory for the past two months!"

"what?"

Hu Mengdie still didn't react. "Really, it's not February anymore, it's already April. Look how little we're wearing, can't you tell?" Li Zhuangsheng's voice was filled with a defiant and angry tone. "You had amnesia before, you had amnesia for two months!"

Can you please get off me first? You, you're doing this in front of Qin Luanyu, isn't that inappropriate? I'm going crazy, I'm really at my wit's end!

Hu Mengdie was shocked. She looked at Xie Jiangqing, then at Hu Mengke. Both of them had a complicated expression on their faces, and nodded.

"Sister, brother-in-law is right."

"How did I lose my memory, and how did I regain it?"

"This... you suddenly lost your memory, and the hospital couldn't find the cause. Now you've recovered, and it was sudden too. It really startled us!"

Hu Mengdie looked blankly at him, and after a moment she said, "So, nothing happened at home, right... You've had a hard time these past few days, honey."

As she spoke, she leaned in to kiss Li Zhuangsheng on the lips. Li Zhuangsheng smelled the faint floral fragrance and instinctively turned his face away, so Hu Mengdie could only kiss the corner of his mouth.

“Since you’ve recovered like this, you should go to the hospital for a check-up first…” Li Zhuangsheng said, taking the opportunity to gently push Hu Mengdie aside.

"But it's getting late." Hu Mengdie looked out the window at the sky. "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow."

"Well, uh uh..."

What else could Li Zhuangsheng say? His mind was in complete turmoil, with one problem after another arising, and the situation had completely exceeded the limits of his processing power.

"Sister, you should go and rest first!" Hu Mengke pushed Hu Mengdie into the house, her eyes constantly gesturing to Xie Jiangqing.

"Don't tell Mengdie too many details about what's happened recently!" Xie Jiangqing glared at Li Zhuangsheng and whispered, "Mengdie has just recovered. If you give her any more shocks, what if she goes crazy again?"

Li Zhuangsheng blinked, looking dejected: "Then I..."

"You're still her husband, aren't you? Let's talk about the details after you get back from the hospital!"

"But I've also lost my memory..."

"You can tell her about your amnesia, but don't upset her with anything else."

"Then tonight..."

"What, do you mean you and your husband have to sleep in separate rooms? Do you want her to know that you've been sleeping with your sister-in-law all this time?"

Li Zhuangsheng was completely speechless.

“But, this isn’t right, we’re already divorced…” Li Zhuangsheng muttered.

"You haven't even gotten your marriage certificate yet, have you? Besides, you divorced before because you didn't have feelings for each other. Now that the real person is back, why are you still getting divorced... Okay, maybe it's a bit inappropriate of me to say this, but such a complicated and important matter should be handled with care."

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at her sideways, thinking to himself, "Not long ago you were so eager to cheat on your best friend, and now you're righteously advising her to make up."

He was very annoyed. Why did Hu Mengdie have to regain her memories at this time?

"Are you thinking of just washing your hands of this now? You should have a conscience. Mengdie did nothing wrong to you before she lost her memory. Besides, she gave you her first time. You should at least take some responsibility!"

"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback.

Xie Jiangqing took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "Mengdie is a very self-respecting and conservative girl. She has never had that kind of relationship with any other man. You are her only man!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luanyu frowned slightly.

"Really, really?"

Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback and turned to look at Li Xiuyu.

“Perhaps, but you won’t bring this up with me anyway.” Li Xiuyu lowered his eyes. “However, since Hu Mengdie has temporarily regained her memory, let’s not provoke her any further and wait until she’s calmed down before discussing it further.”

Li Zhuangsheng was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of those handwritten bookmarks. The tiny characters seemed to jump and float before his eyes.

"That makes sense, I agree."

Qin Luanyu, who had been silent all along, shrugged. (End of Chapter)
