Chapter 907
IF12
But! It's others who are vulgar! He's definitely not that vulgar! Moderation is best! If we're really going to choose a school beauty, looks are king! Relying on some special talent is just a crooked path. Only a school idol like Hu Mengdie, like Shirakawa Kotori, is a true school beauty!
"Hey, listen to me! I just saw something really hilarious in the cafeteria..."
Zhu Zhixue pressed her chest against the table, perhaps feeling uncomfortable. She reached out and supported the huge weapon, then gently placed it on Li Zhuangsheng's table with a "Duang".
Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but glance sideways, unsure where to look for a moment. After hesitating for 0.1 seconds, he turned off his phone screen.
Oh well, I can read novels anytime.
"What's so funny?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"Do you know Qi Haoyu? He's the guy in the class next to your sister's, the one who's pretty handsome!" Zhu Zhixue gossiped with great interest.
“I think I’ve heard of it before…” Li Zhuangsheng frowned, trying to recall.
"Let me tell you, he confessed his feelings to Hu Mengdie in the cafeteria, but Hu Mengdie rejected him!"
"Oh...that's pretty normal, right? Hu Mengdie must have rejected quite a few people. I heard she doesn't plan to date in high school."
Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help but smile slightly.
He didn't have any improper thoughts about Hu Mengdie, but a beautiful lady is always sought after by gentlemen. For most boys, it was a great thing that the school beauty was "unmarried." They wished that all pretty girls would never date or get married.
"Yeah, but after Qi Haoyu was rejected, he seemed to slip and fall flat on his back... Hahaha, you have no idea how funny he looked!" Zhu Zhixue laughed heartily.
"Is that so? But let's not laugh at other people's failures..." Li Zhuangsheng blinked and coughed lightly. "Being rejected after confessing is pitiful enough."
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have gloated—" Zhu Zhixue drawled, muttering in dissatisfaction, "But the way you fell was really funny. If you had seen it, I guarantee you would have laughed too!"
"I got back early, so I didn't see it." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head, speaking shamelessly, "I think it's quite childish to talk about these kinds of love things in high school... What do high school students know about love? Look at Hu Mengdie, she knows she doesn't date!"
"But Hu Mengdie said that she has a boy she likes."
"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback.
"She said it in the cafeteria. What? You like Hu Mengdie?" Zhu Zhixue leaned forward slightly, her eyes looking inscrutable.
"I don't even know her, why would I like her?" Li Zhuangsheng quickly waved his hand, afraid of being misunderstood by the person in front of him.
In his view, secretly liking a girl was a shameful act. Besides, his feelings for Hu Mengdie were limited to the general attraction that boys have for pretty girls; even if he heard that she had a crush on someone, he would only sigh inwardly.
More importantly, compared to Hu Mengdie, who was far away, he cared more about Zhu Zhixue in front of him. Zhu Zhixue had a pure and innocent appearance, a large bust, and a sunny and cheerful personality. Even a shut-in like him would take the initiative to talk to her. She was much better than Hu Mengdie!
Sometimes, Li Zhuangsheng would wonder if Zhu Zhixue had feelings for him, otherwise why would she always talk to him for no reason and always look at him with a smile... But after having this guess, Li Zhuangsheng would always deny it to himself.
Although Zhu Zhixue seemed unusually enthusiastic towards him, she was naturally cheerful and outgoing with everyone. Besides, there were plenty of guys who liked Zhu Zhixue. What did I have that made her like me? Average looks, average grades, average athletic ability... Isn't there a saying that there are three great illusions in life, and one of them is "she likes me"?
We can't become those clowns who don't know their own worth!
"Don't be discouraged, maybe the person she likes is you!" Zhu Zhixue patted Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder with a smile, seemingly to comfort him.
"How could that be... I don't even know her!" "Why not? Look, one of you is named Zhuang Sheng, and the other Meng Die. Aren't you a match made in heaven?"
Li Zhuangsheng knew that the other person didn't believe him at all and was just teasing him, but he could only say in a serious tone, "As young people of the 21st century, can't we believe in science instead of this kind of feudal metaphysics?"
But look, Zhu Zhixue said it all, so she definitely doesn't like me! If she liked me, why would she joke about me and Hu Mengdie?
"As people, we shouldn't be too superstitious about science!" Zhu Zhixue scoffed. "Let me tell you, I had a dream yesterday... Huh?"
She was only halfway through her sentence when she was drawn to something outside the classroom. Li Zhuangsheng curiously followed her gaze and saw a radiant, beautiful figure.
Hu Mengdie.
Hu Mengdie walked to the classroom door of Class 13, where Li Zhuangsheng was, and peered into the classroom through the glass.
Soon, she found Li Zhuangsheng. The two looked at each other, and after a moment, Li Zhuangsheng inexplicably lowered his head, feeling guilty.
She probably didn't come looking for me. Don't overestimate yourself; it has nothing to do with you.
Zhu Zhixue looked at Hu Mengdie, who quickly noticed her as well, but only smiled and turned to leave.
"What's Hu Mengdie doing here?" Li Zhuangsheng muttered.
"It seems like they came to see you?" Zhu Zhixue frowned.
"Why are you looking at me like that..."
"You're her husband."
"How could that be? Maybe she's just looking for someone, but the person she's looking for shouldn't be here."
"Hmph, that must be it!"
As the setting sun streamed into the empty classroom, Li Zhuangsheng shrank into the shadows, thinking that Hu Mengdie might have come to see him.
There have been some precedents before. After all, his younger sister, Li Xiuyu, is not only a school beauty but also a "school hunk" because of her cool and sassy looks. Unlike Hu Mengdie, who is an uncrowned school beauty, Li Xiuyu's status as a "school hunk" is recognized because of her gender, and some teachers even joke about it.
If her younger sister is so handsome, then her older brother must be even more handsome! Quite a few girls have this thought in mind, so occasionally some girls will stop and stare at Li Zhuangsheng's classroom during breaks, only to leave disappointed.
Damn it, we're a blended family, we're not related by blood! Damn Li Xiuyu, why can't you share half of your handsomeness and luck with girls with me! Li Zhuangsheng complained to himself more than once.
Perhaps that's why Hu Mengdie came this time. And now, seeing him in person, she's left disappointed!
"I'm so sorry, I'm not the school heartthrob, I'm the school heartthrob bro!" Li Zhuangsheng pressed his face against the cool tabletop and sighed repeatedly.
He was truly sorry for not fulfilling others' expectations. (End of Chapter)
