Chapter 909

IF14

The figure walked to the doorway, tilted its head and poked most of its head out, like a beautiful figure suddenly appearing on the screen in an animated movie.

"Is Wu Fei here?" Hu Mengdie asked with a smile.

"She's gone."

Zhu Zhixue looked around the classroom. As soon as school was over, everyone had left. At this moment, apart from Li Zhuangsheng, only she, Zeng Chen, and Yao Xingyu were left in the classroom.

"Really? I waited for ages at the stairwell but didn't see her." Hu Mengdie said, lightly tapping her head. She stopped looking at Zhu Zhixue and instead turned her gaze to Li Zhuangsheng. "Hello, you must be Li Zhuangsheng?"

"Ah...yes..."

Li Zhuangsheng was a little timid, wondering what advice the rumored school beauty had for him. Had he offended her in any way? He didn't think so.

He looked at Zhu Zhixue, and Zhu Zhixue also tilted her head and glanced at him. The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"My name is Hu Mengdie, let's get to know each other!" Hu Mengdie walked straight to Li Zhuangsheng's table and extended her hand with a smile.

"Oh, oh..." Li Zhuangsheng was completely puzzled, and cautiously nodded and bowed, "Hello, hello..."

Hu Mengdie smiled, but did not lower her outstretched hand.

Li Zhuangsheng glanced at the other person's fair and delicate hands, and was momentarily at a loss for what to do, but after hesitating for a moment, he still gently shook them.

I actually managed to shake Hu Mengdie's hand!
Li Zhuangsheng was shocked and secretly pleased, but he hypocritically accepted it and was filled with remorse.

Looking at Li Zhuangsheng's face, Hu Mengdie couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If she's not here, then I'll be going!"

"Oh oh oh..."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded repeatedly, watching Hu Mengdie leave.

"Oh, I'm so happy, so happy!" Zhu Zhixue's sarcastic voice rang out.

"Huh? I didn't!" Li Zhuangsheng denied it outright.

"Why don't you take a look at your face in the mirror?" Yao Xingyu said.

What happened to my face?

Li Zhuangsheng took out his phone, and through the reflection of the screen, a faint blush could be seen on his face.

"My face looks perfectly normal!" Li Zhuangsheng feigned composure, putting away his phone. "I... I'm going to eat now!"

After saying that, he retreated in a sorry state without looking back.

"Humph!"

Zhu Zhixue stomped her foot in anger. "It's just shaking hands with Hu Mengdie, why are you blushing like that?! I'm so angry!"
Zeng Chen and Yao Xingyu exchanged a smile and shook their heads.

Oh no! My face is so red. Hu Mengdie was smiling at me just now because of this, right? Li Zhuangsheng ran away as fast as he could, feeling more and more upset.

She won't think I like her, will she? And Zhu Zhixue won't misunderstand that I like her either?

I'm really not like that!
Oh dear! This is so embarrassing!
Feeling bitter, Li Zhuangsheng went outside the school and ate a rice bowl. Then, still resentful, he started watching anime. The second season of Highschool DXD had just ended, and he huddled in a corner, engrossed in watching it, quickly forgetting about the embarrassing incident.

"Hey—why aren't they wearing any clothes?"

A faint, eerie sound rang out, startling Li Zhuangsheng so much that he nearly jumped out of his skin.

In a flurry of activity, Li Zhuangsheng turned his head and, sure enough, saw the person he least wanted to see at that moment!

"Hu hu hu..."

"My name is Hu Mengdie, not Hu Hu Hu."

Hu Mengdie covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes gentle, pure, and beautiful. They shone like the rising sun illuminating the roof beams, and were as bright as the moon spreading its light.

But at this moment, the more beautiful Hu Mengdie was, the more Li Zhuangsheng blushed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

I can't believe I was watching such a filthy and pornographic anime! I'm such a hopeless pervert! Why did it have to happen at this time? Why did it have to be such a coincidence? Why did Hu Mengdie have to see me watching this kind of anime?!
I'm doomed! It's probably going to be really hard to shake off this stereotype of me being a pervert!

"I...I don't know...I, I never watch this kind of thing..."

Li Zhuangsheng stammered, his back soaked with sweat despite the air conditioning being on in the shop. He was filled with shame and indignation—who put such vulgar animation on my phone?!

"Ok?"

Hu Mengdie tilted her head and simply gazed at him quietly.

"Really, I... I just clicked on it without paying attention. I don't even know what it is... My deskmate recommended it to me, so I just clicked to see... I really don't like watching this kind of stuff, it's so vulgar... If I had known it was something like this, I definitely wouldn't have watched it!"

Li Zhuangsheng racked his brains, his face turning bright red, and he used almost every clumsy excuse he could think of.

Hu Mengdie remained silent, only smiling at him.

"Oh, is that so? Your deskmate is really mean, tricking you into watching something like this!"

Hu Mengdie was very serious, and even showed a hint of righteous indignation.

"That's right, Zhang Qixiang... ugh, I don't even want to talk about him anymore!"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously, a look of disgust on his face.

“Yes, yes, right, you, how come you…” Li Zhuangsheng quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, I came to buy a milk tea and just happened to see you. I was going to say hello." Hu Mengdie said, pressing down the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, okay... then you buy it..."

"Forget it, I think I'll pass on the purchase!"

"I... I can treat you."

"No, that's not it. Drinking too much milk tea can make you fat. I just started dance class and I still need to lose weight!"

Seeing that Hu Mengdie seemed to believe his story, Li Zhuangsheng gradually relaxed: "You're not fat at all!"

"The requirements for dance students are a bit stricter!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Hu Mengdie couldn't suppress her smile any longer. She turned around and said, "Then I'll be going now!"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded haphazardly: "Oh, okay, goodbye, goodbye!"

"Study hard and watch less of this kind of stuff in the future!"

"Oh, oh, oh, I don't want to see it!"

Li Zhuangsheng responded incoherently, and it took him a long time to realize what she was doing here.

Hu Mengdie strode away from the small restaurant, finally unable to hold back any longer. Clutching her stomach, she burst into unrestrained laughter.

This was so funny! My husband's innocent and embarrassed look was just too cute! Hahahaha!
She was so happy that she bent over laughing on the street, almost sweeping away the gloom of the snowy night.

She was born again.

On a snowy night, she was dumped by her husband. At that moment, she felt dizzy and, somehow, she was transported back ten years.

She slowly awoke from the classroom, feeling as if she had dreamt of a thousand mountains and a single arrow through the window.

Why wasn't I the first person to hold your hand?

Li Zhuangsheng's voice echoed in her mind, filling her with a bittersweet mix of pity and self-reproach. But then she thought about how he actually wanted to divorce her because of this, and she felt both angry and resentful!
Li Zhuangsheng, you just wait! Don't think I'll forgive you so easily! This time, if I don't toy with you thoroughly, make you lose your appetite and sleep, and make you love me to the point of illness, then I'm not Hu Mengdie! (End of Chapter)
