Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Hu Mengdie coldly stared at Zhu Zhixue, whose face was contorted in pain. Zhu Zhixue bent over, clutching her hand, gasping for breath. Hu Mengdie dodged before the slap could land on her, and Zhu Zhixue's hand slammed heavily against the wall.

In fact, Hu Mengdie had a premonition that Zhu Zhixue was going to make a move, but she hesitated whether to dodge. However, seeing Zhu Zhixue's slap coming, her body instinctively made the choice.

"Don't hit her! She's a young girl, why are you being so rough?"

Hu Mengdie spoke with a mix of teasing and sarcasm.

Zhu Zhixue gritted her teeth, never expecting Hu Mengdie to be so unethical, actually daring to dodge!
“I don’t think it’s worth getting into a fight over a man.” Hu Mengdie shook her head calmly, then spoke earnestly as an elder, “You are still young. Your priority should be to study hard, not to waste your energy on men.”

Zhu Zhixue was even angrier after hearing this, feeling that Hu Mengdie was mocking her!

That is indeed the case.

"If you do that again..."

She wanted to throw another punch, but Hu Mengdie neither dodged nor avoided it.

"Are you really going to fight me?" Hu Mengdie said with a smile. "I'll go tell Li Zhuangsheng right away. Do you think he'll still like you if he finds out you're asking me to fight?"

Zhu Zhixue's fist stopped.

"What exactly do you want!" Zhu Zhixue stomped her feet angrily, glaring at Hu Mengdie. "You don't like Li Zhuangsheng, right? What did I do to offend you?"

"When did he become your possession?" Hu Mengdie smiled slightly. "Does Li Zhuangsheng even know it himself?"

Zhu Zhixue wouldn't listen to a word Hu Mengdie said, and grabbed Hu Mengdie's clothes excitedly: "Then what are you trying to do! Why are you doing this!"

She still couldn't believe that Hu Mengdie liked Li Zhuangsheng; she was now more inclined to believe that Hu Mengdie was just deliberately trying to steal him away. Pretty girls can be competitive too, and Hu Mengdie knew she liked Li Zhuangsheng, so she wanted to snatch him away to prove she was better!
But please don't do this. Li Zhuangsheng is all I have left. He's a ray of light in my bleak life. Please don't do this!
"Do you believe in fate?" Hu Mengdie asked softly.

Zhu Zhixue was taken aback.

Hu Mengdie gazed at the gloomy scenery outside the window and sighed quietly.

"I understand how you feel. When you like someone, you want them to belong to you forever and are afraid that someone else will take them away."

"You knew perfectly well that... I did something to upset you, didn't I? I apologize! I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

Hu Mengdie turned around and silently stared at Zhu Zhixue. Not long ago, the other party had been furious and wanted to slap her, but now she was putting on a pleading and ingratiating act.

Her eyes were lowered, as if she could hardly bear it.

She completely understood Zhu Zhixue's feelings; high school students are just like that—foolish and impulsive. In the heat of the moment, they don't care about anything. She herself had done many foolish things back then.

"Alright, I don't blame you." Hu Mengdie shook her head, putting away her teasing mood. "But you may have misunderstood me."

"What's the meaning?"

"I like Li Zhuangsheng, and that has nothing to do with you."

Zhu Zhixue flew into a rage again, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes red-rimmed: "What exactly do you want to do?!"

Hu Mengdie said seriously, "I like Li Zhuangsheng, so please stop liking him. There are quite a few handsome guys in our school, and I know a few potential stars. I can introduce them to you, and I guarantee you won't regret it."

"Are you crazy! I don't want him! I only want Li Zhuangsheng!" Zhu Zhixue roared again, grabbing Hu Mengdie's collar and shaking her. "If that's the case, then go ahead! Why are you interfering with me?"

Hu Mengdie frowned slightly; the other person was so agitated that spittle even splattered onto her face. She had heard these past few days that Zhu Zhixue was a lively and generous person, so why did she become so extreme and impulsive when Li Zhuangsheng was mentioned?

Even if the other party is a high school student, this is still too extreme.

“Because I am his true love. I didn’t mean to interfere with you. There’s no way you can be with Li Zhuangsheng.” Hu Mengdie looked at Zhu Zhixue and said sincerely, “What’s so good about Li Zhuangsheng? He’s so emotionally inept now. Sometimes he can make people furious with just one sentence. He’s also silly. No matter how many hints I give, he never takes the initiative to pursue me. He’s all talk and no action… Well, he seems to have always been like this. In short, he doesn’t have any special talents or outstanding qualities. He’s just average-looking. What do you like about him?”

Hu Mengdie couldn't understand how Li Zhuangsheng, who was so ordinary, could make Zhu Zhixue so infatuated.

She felt that the other person was most likely driven by hormones, mistaking a momentary impulse for a lasting relationship. But teenage love comes and goes quickly, and nine times out of ten, they will break up.

At an age when they knew nothing, they uttered nonsensical vows of eternal love and undying devotion. To her, it seemed so naive and laughable—just a bunch of children imitating movies and TV shows, doing cosplay.

"You're disgusting!" Zhu Zhixue's lips trembled, and she suddenly looked disgusted. "If you hate him so much, why did you try to steal him from me? Are you out of your mind?!"

"I don't hate it..."

Zhu Zhixue puffed out her chest, pointed at Hu Mengdie, and said loudly, "Li Zhuangsheng has many good qualities! He is gentle to everyone, no matter who they are or what they look like, he will not discriminate against them! He respects everyone, will help everyone, and will take care of other people's self-esteem! He is a good person, he is also very humorous, and he is very handsome, so what gives you the right to say such things about him! I really don't know what you are thinking! But I will not give Li Zhuangsheng to you! You don't understand anything at all!"

Now it was Hu Mengdie's turn to be speechless. She stared in surprise at Zhu Zhixue, who had suddenly become radiant. After being scolded, her mind was a little dazed.

But what surprised her even more was what Zhu Zhixue said.

"You, how could you..."

"Let me tell you, you better watch out! You don't understand him at all! Go find that so-called 'potential stock' you're talking about! You wouldn't even look at him anyway, but I'm smitten with him!" Zhu Zhixue warned sharply. "I'm just warning you this time. If I see you trying to seduce him again, don't blame me for being ruthless! You're crazy!"

After saying that, she snorted coldly, gave Hu Mengdie a hard shove on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Hu Mengdie stood there, stunned, for a long time, a feeling of indescribable shame and indignation rising within her. This was the first time she had felt so agitated since her return!
She didn't care about Zhu Zhixue's scolding, but she couldn't accept the other party's contempt and misinterpretation of her.

"What? Stop right there! Who says I don't understand him! Don't think you're the only one who does! I understand him better than you! He's my husband!"

Coming to her senses, Hu Mengdie, enraged and embarrassed, gave chase.

After chasing for a while, Hu Mengdie grabbed Zhu Zhixue's hand tightly.

"What are you trying to do now?" Zhu Zhixue turned around unhappily. "You're so amazing, so amazing. You're the most beautiful girl in the whole school. I admit that any guy would fall in love with you, so please, go find someone else! Really, Li Zhuangsheng is really no good. He really has no redeeming qualities. You can't suffer this injustice. Let me bear it all by myself! I like collecting trash! But you're Xingpeng's school beauty. How can you lower yourself like this?"

She couldn't understand Hu Mengdie anymore. It seemed like there was something wrong with her. She clearly didn't like Li Zhuangsheng and thought he was no good... yet she cared about him so much.

No, you're not really just trying to steal my man, are you?! Are you crazy?! Okay, fine, you're kidding me, you win. I'll tell everyone you're prettier and better than me!
Upon hearing this, Hu Mengdie nearly choked on her own blood! Her chest ached with anger, and she glared at Zhu Zhixue, unable to utter a single word!
She had never taken Zhu Zhixue seriously before, but she never expected to be rendered speechless by her.

"me……"

Hu Mengdie was furious, wishing she could grind her teeth and suck blood, killing without hesitation. "Let me tell you, he's mine! You can't be with him, I know him better than you do!"

After Hu Mengdie finished speaking, she felt a wave of sorrow, as if her words sounded like impotent rage. She felt extremely aggrieved.

She'd been careless; she'd actually lost an argument with a child! She was furious. Li Zhuangsheng was clearly a treasure known only to her, so how could Zhu Zhixue know so much about him?!
"What exactly do you want, sister! I was wrong, okay? What do you want me to do for you to let him go? How about I go to every class and say 'I admire Hu Mengdie,' okay?"

Zhu Zhixue was both angry and helpless. She felt like she was being harassed by a scoundrel. She had already said so much, but the other party was still not letting it go. Was he even human?
Feeling looked down upon to this extent, Hu Mengdie's temples bulged with veins.

She hadn't been this angry in many years, so she laughed—a laugh born of extreme anger.

"Hehe, hehehe..." Hu Mengdie took a deep breath, her face covered in dust but barely suppressing her anger, "You don't need to say anything, you just need to give up on Li Zhuangsheng..."

I'm abandoning your mother!

Zhu Zhixue finally lost her temper and grabbed Hu Mengdie's hair. Since the other party couldn't understand human speech, she had no choice but to resort to physical force!

This time, Hu Mengdie was finally unable to dodge, and in pain, she also reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhixue's hair.

At this point, the two had no room for sentimentality and began tearing at each other. Zhu Zhixue lashed out and cursed as she pulled, while Hu Mengdie didn't retaliate, but her blows were extremely vicious.

Her composure had completely vanished, replaced by hatred for the "other woman."

Zhu Zhixue seized the opportunity to slap Hu Mengdie hard across the face, and Hu Mengdie pinched her chest tightly and then kicked her groin repeatedly.

Zhu Zhixue, being plump and round, had a significant advantage in weight. However, Hu Mengdie, having practiced dance for many years, possessed physical strength that was unmatched by ordinary girls.

The two went from tearing at each other to wrestling, and soon they were panting and exhausted.

"You bitch!"

Hu Mengdie kicked Zhu Zhixue in the thigh. She was much stronger than Zhu Zhixue. Although she was at a disadvantage in the early stages of the fight, she was gradually gaining the upper hand.

Zhu Zhixue cried out "Ouch!" and, not to be outdone, bit Hu Mengdie's face!

In her eyes, Hu Mengdie's face was everything, so she attacked it relentlessly whenever she had the chance. Hu Mengdie was horrified and quickly dodged the fatal blow. Zhu Zhixue, missing her attack, seized the opportunity and bit Hu Mengdie's shoulder. Hu Mengdie screamed softly, pinching Zhu Zhixue's waist hard, her nails almost digging into her flesh…

After a long struggle, Zhu Zhixue was exhausted and was pinned down by Hu Mengdie, panting heavily. Despite this, her momentum remained undiminished, her eyes wide with anger.

"I'm telling you, you little bitch! From now on you'll... Ouch!"

Before Hu Mengdie could finish her harsh words, Zhu Zhixue, who had gathered some strength, flipped her over again! But after flipping Hu Mengdie over, Zhu Zhixue had no extra strength, so she could only use her own weight to suppress Hu Mengdie and barely hold her neck down with her arm.

"Huff, huff... Eat shit, you filthy bitch!" Zhu Zhixue cursed, panting heavily.

……

What's wrong with you?

In class, Li Zhuangsheng reached out and stopped Zhu Zhixue, who was about to return to her seat, blinking as he looked her up and down.

The other person looked like they had rolled on the ground; their school uniform was filthy, and their hair was very messy.

"It's nothing, I just finished my evening study session!"

Zhu Zhixue, seething with anger, glared at Li Zhuangsheng. She thought to herself, "You're asking me what happened? It's all because of your romantic entanglements!"
She's truly a femme fatale!

Zhu Zhixue stormed off, while Li Zhuangsheng, who had offered his concern but was instead met with a fierce rebuke, awkwardly scratched the back of his head and fell silent, though he couldn't help but glance back at Zhu Zhixue a few more times.

Did he fall? Probably, he's covered in so much dust, it looks like he fell pretty hard.

Li Zhuangsheng rummaged in the drawer of the table and found a few alcohol swabs. After thinking that the other person didn't have any injuries, he put them away.

At this moment, Lin Yuehua, holding a book, slowly surveyed his side. Li Zhuangsheng dared not make any more small movements and quickly picked up the book.

During the break between evening self-study sessions, Li Zhuangsheng lay there in a daze as usual, reminiscing about his intimate moment with Hu Mengdie that afternoon, completely unaware of the noise coming from in front of him.

“Hey, Li Zhuangsheng,” Zhu Zhixue said.

"Hmm, hmm?" Li Zhuangsheng snapped out of his daze. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips, her eyes shifting between light and shadow. Now, after her falling out with Hu Mengdie, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She didn't want to dwell on her past feelings anymore; she just wanted to solidify her relationship with Li Zhuangsheng!

"you……"

Zhu Zhixue took a deep breath, her heart pounding, but just as she was about to speak, she choked up when she met Li Zhuangsheng's eyes.

[Go ahead and confess to Li Zhuangsheng if you dare, but are you sure he likes you more than me? If he rejects you, can you stand it in class afterwards? Hehe, if he accepts you, it means the game is over. I'll use every trick in the book to seduce him then, hehe, I love stealing other people's men, want to try? Maybe I'll be the one sleeping with him first.]

Hu Mengdie's whispered words at the moment of parting echoed in Zhu Zhixue's mind again, and Zhu Zhixue's lips trembled.

"What am I?"

Seeing that the other party had been pondering for a long time without saying anything, Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but ask.

"What...what were you spacing out about just now?" Zhu Zhixue forced a dry laugh and changed the subject.

"Uh, it's nothing..."

Li Zhuangsheng turned his face away, he couldn't very well say, "I was thinking how beautiful Hu Mengdie's waist and hips are."

"Hehe, you're not still thinking about learning radio calisthenics with Hu Mengdie this afternoon, are you?"

"No, no, no, no..."

Li Zhuangsheng blushed and hurriedly denied it, causing Zhu Zhixue's heart to sink. (End of Chapter)
