Chapter 610 Teasing
It has been a long time since I went out alone with Hu Mengdie, especially a "date" that was obviously for fun.
Li Zhuangsheng realized it only later, but it was difficult to regret after agreeing. Moreover, from the heart, Li Zhuangsheng really couldn't refuse. Hu Mengdie helped him so much and ran around for his affairs. It was not reasonable to refuse such a small request.
Li Zhuangsheng wanted to insist on taking a taxi and said that he would pay for the whole afternoon to thank Hu Mengdie for her help. But Hu Mengdie smiled and said that Xiaotaoyuan was not far from the school and he could just walk there.
Li Zhuangsheng took out his mobile phone and searched the map, and found that the two places were indeed very close. It would only take them less than half an hour to walk from the west gate of the school.
Although Li Zhuangsheng had visited all the tourist attractions in Nanjing, he was always careless and never remembered the way, so he couldn't remember the approximate location for a while.
"Are you sure you want to walk there?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"Yes, the weather is so nice today, the spring is bright, let's take a walk to relax." Hu Mengdie smiled.
Li Zhuangsheng did not insist, and the two of them walked through the school and slowly along the Qinhuai River.
The spring scenery was bright and the river was shimmering with tiny ripples. The weeping willows on the bank were swaying gently in the breeze. On weekends, there were many idle people like them wandering aimlessly on the roadside, including many couples. The girls stopped with smiles on their faces, and the boys took up their cameras to take pictures of them. Then their eyes were unconsciously attracted by the white figure passing by.
The warm sunshine felt warm on his body, and occasionally a bird flew over the branches. Li Zhuangsheng looked at Hu Mengdie, wondering who was more beautiful, her or the spring scenery by the river.
"Oh, by the way, is it just the two of us?" Li Zhuangsheng said, "You can also call your friends."
"Aren't you my friend?" Hu Mengdie smiled sweetly.
"Of course I am..." Li Zhuangsheng laughed dryly twice and stopped talking.
"You are a famous person in your school. Someone just greeted you." Li Zhuangsheng finally found a topic again.
"He's not a celebrity, I just happened to know him before." Hu Mengdie smiled.
"You're not still the school beauty, are you? Haha."
"There are so many beautiful girls in our school. I can't even get a spot in the queue."
"You're being modest again. I haven't seen anyone prettier than you."
"That's because it's the weekend and there are few people."
The two chatted awkwardly, and Li Zhuangsheng scratched his hand with his thumb nail.
He was not afraid of communicating with girls, and he had been in the women's fighting club for so long. Not to mention that the person he was chatting with was his ex-wife, so he shouldn't be nervous.
But he thought of the scene in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber in which Zhang Wuji said to Zhou Zhiruo: "As long as we have a clear conscience, why should we care about what others say?" Zhou Zhiruo replied: "What if I have a guilty conscience?"
"In Taohuawu there is a Peach Blossom Temple, and in the Peach Blossom Temple there is a Peach Blossom Fairy. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees, and picks peach blossoms to sell for money to make wine..." Li Zhuangsheng looked at a peach tree by the roadside and unconsciously recited Tang Bohu's "Song of Peach Blossom Temple".
He suddenly thought of Qin Luanyu. If she were here, it would be nice to exchange poems with her. However, the little guy has been practicing sprinting recently, preparing to participate in the National Middle School Track and Field Championships held in Changchun this year.
She boasted to Li Zhuangsheng that she could run the 100-meter dash in under 13 seconds on one leg, and said shamelessly that she would at least make it to the finals this year. She hinted wildly that if someone went to cheer her on, she might be able to make it into the top three or even win a gold medal. She also said that if Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu went to Changchun for a trip, she could reimburse their air tickets.
Li Zhuangsheng laughed and didn't say anything definite. The competition will be held at the end of July, and if you have time, you can go and travel to Northeast China to escape the summer heat.
Thinking of Qin Luanyu, Li Zhuangsheng thought of Feng Xiaotama again. In fact, he quite likes her painting style. When people come to Luoyang, the flowers are in full bloom, but when I come, spring is not here.
"When I'm sober, I sit in front of the flowers. When I'm drunk, I sleep under the flowers. I sit in front of the flowers day after day, and I'm drunk and sober year after year." Hu Mengdie interjected softly.
"I would rather die among flowers and wine than bow before carriages and horses." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile. "Do you like these two sentences the most?" Hu Mengdie asked.
"I guess so. When I was a kid, I saw this poem and wanted to live in seclusion."
"When you were a kid?"
"When I was in high school."
"That didn't take long!"
“That was more than 10 years ago.”
"Oh...so now you like girls around 30 years old?"
"Why do you have to bring up this topic!" Li Zhuangsheng's face darkened slightly. Besides, even if I'm in my seventies or eighties, I still like those who were sixteen or seventeen the most!
Besides, he feels that his mental age is not very old. It is not the case that the older you get, the more mature your mind becomes. It mainly depends on the environment and your own mentality.
If a person is thrown into the wild at birth and has no contact with humans, then even if he grows to be eighty years old, he will still be "holy as before". Similarly, many people complain that the hundreds or thousands of years old monsters in some fantasy novels behave like mentally retarded, but in fact, this also makes sense from a logical point of view.
If one does not engage in intrigue and socializing with others, but only immerses himself in cultivation, his intelligence level will definitely decline over time. Even if one has been in seclusion for tens of hundreds of years, it is still a question whether he can still speak after coming out.
Li Zhuangsheng also has self-awareness. He was just a otaku before, and after his rebirth he has been dating high school students of the same age. Therefore, he never feels that he is much more mature than others. He is just a little bolder and has more responsibilities.
"So you look down on little girls and think they are childish?" Hu Mengdie teased with a smile.
"I don't know how to answer you." Li Zhuangsheng said seriously, "Anyway, I like young people!"
Hu Mengdie's face changed, revealing a meaningful expression, and she touched her face: "Is that so - it seems that I am old. You really like young people like Meng Ke. Time is unforgiving."
"You are only twenty years old, so stop talking nonsense about being old!" Li Zhuangsheng complained weakly.
"So do you like Meng Ke or me?"
"I definitely like you..."
Hu Mengdie smiled happily when she heard this. There seemed to be spring in her eyes. She raised her pretty face, revealing a proud and playful look: "Oh - so you like me."
"Oh, no..." Li Zhuangsheng was stunned and realized that he had said something wrong.
"I know, haha, I was just kidding." Hu Mengdie patted Li Zhuangsheng lightly, and her smile gradually faded, "You are so easy to tease."
Li Zhuangsheng didn't dare to look directly at the change in Hu Mengdie's expression, and just laughed dryly: "Yes, so please stop teasing me..."
"Your club is full of girls, right? No one teases you?"
"That's different..."
Their teasing is fake, but your teasing is real!
