Chapter 919

Li Zhuangsheng kept shaking his head, thinking that as long as the other party didn't blame him, he would be grateful. He dared not take credit for it, since strictly speaking, he had made a huge profit.
Wait a minute, was that a Rito throw? No, no, no, how could you be so lewd!
"Don't rush back to class, let's take a walk together." Hu Mengdie's tone was slightly coquettish.
Li Zhuangsheng dared not refuse and could only nod. He still didn't understand why Hu Mengdie wanted to talk to him. Was it just because she was bored, or because she happened to see him?
"Li Zhuangsheng, tomorrow's a holiday, what are you planning to do?"
"I...I'm not going to do anything..." Li Zhuangsheng said dejectedly, "I'll just stay home and study..."
Of course, I'll stay home and binge-watch visual novels! You can't play visual novels during class; you can only play them slowly during holidays when you have plenty of uninterrupted time!
"You finally get a five-day holiday, are you planning to stay home the whole time?"
Hu Mengdie wasn't surprised, but a hint of regret appeared on her face. Of course, she didn't believe Li Zhuangsheng would actually study diligently; he'd probably just stay indoors watching cartoons day and night!
“Yes…” Li Zhuangsheng nodded reluctantly.
"That would be such a pity. Why don't you invite your sister along and come out to play together?" Hu Mengdie said with a smile.
Li Zhuangsheng's expression just now filled her with regret, perhaps mixed with a little fear. She felt that throwing a tantrum at a child was really childish; why argue with a high school student!
Well, the revenge is over, I'm magnanimous! But there's one person she will never forgive, and that's Li Xiuyu.
Li Xiuyu, I'm going to make you watch as your beloved brother, who is also my husband, falls in love with me and becomes completely devoted to me... You'll just have to accept this helpless regret!
"This..."
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned. This was probably the first time in his life that he had received an invitation from a girl... Well, not exactly the first time, but the first time in middle school.
He didn't really want to go out. He felt his emotional intelligence was rather low, and he wasn't good at communicating with girls. He also didn't like having fun and didn't know what he could do outside... Of course, most importantly, he didn't really want to go out with Hu Mengdie.
They are not from the same world.
Of course, if Hu Mengdie wanted to be friends with Li Xiuyu, he would be happy to act as the middleman.
"Okay, that's settled then. It'll be on the 5th. I'll contact you on QQ then!" Hu Mengdie said, not giving Li Zhuangsheng a chance to refuse.
To deal with Li Zhuangsheng, you have to be firm. If you use a conciliatory tone, he'll think there's still room for negotiation. But if you make a direct decision, he'll obediently cooperate.
"Do you want to be friends with Li Xiuyu?"
Li Zhuangsheng suddenly understood something. If that was the case, then everything would make a little more sense.
Although it's not entirely reasonable, if Hu Mengdie really wanted to be friends with Li Xiuyu, she could have simply approached Li Xiuyu directly... even though Li Xiuyu is indeed cold and aloof to outsiders and seems difficult to get along with.
But in any case, if it's for Li Xiuyu's sake, Li Zhuangsheng can completely understand. After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, and occasionally some girls use him as a stepping stone to get to know Li Xiuyu.
"I actually want to get to know you more than Li Xiuyu!"
Hu Mengdie's starry eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly. "Liar," Li Zhuangsheng thought. "Perhaps she's just too shy to tell the truth; that's understandable."
"Oh, oh... Actually, although Li Xiuyu seems difficult to get along with, his personality is actually..."
Li Zhuangsheng wanted to say something good about his sister, but to be honest, although Li Xiuyu seemed difficult to get along with, she actually had a rather nasty personality.
What kind of younger sister would deliberately take off her smelly socks in the morning to cover her brother's mouth and nose? Only Li Xiuyu would do something so self-destructive!
"Well, if that's the case, then let's head out on the 5th!" Li Zhuangsheng was now convinced that Hu Mengdie was doing this for Li Xiuyu, and felt much more at ease.
If Li Zhuangsheng considered Hu Mengdie as a "classmate," his impression of her was quite good. At least she was willing to "lower herself" and interact with him, a reclusive guy from the bottom of the campus, without any disdain.
As for the little joke just now, Li Zhuangsheng didn't blame her. After all, Hu Mengdie didn't like him anyway.
Hu Mengdie raised an eyebrow. She knew Li Zhuangsheng had misunderstood, but she was too lazy to correct him at the moment.
Wanting to date Li Zhuangsheng is simple, but right now she only has one thing on her mind: how to guide Li Zhuangsheng to pursue her.
As the saying goes, the most skillful hunters often appear in the form of prey. Although Li Zhuangsheng seems timid, Hu Mengdie has had experience with this before and is confident that she can grasp the ambiguous distance between them.
What's a high school boy? I can take him down with a snap of my fingers! Hu Mengdie was extremely confident in herself.
The two strolled slowly around the playground, with Li Zhuangsheng always walking behind Hu Mengdie. Sometimes Hu Mengdie would try to slow down and wait, but to her surprise, Li Zhuangsheng would also slow down when she did.
He was always more than half a body length behind her.
"...Li Zhuangsheng, do you have a girl you like right now?"
The two were strolling on the playground when Hu Mengdie suddenly asked slowly.
"I...I didn't!" Li Zhuangsheng felt like a frightened quail, his face burning slightly.
The moment Hu Mengdie asked that question, a beautiful figure, as if descended from heaven, flashed into his mind. That sunny and cheerful female classmate who greeted him with a smile every day.
Li Zhuangsheng had actually fantasized that Zhu Zhixue might have feelings for him, but he always dismissed the idea. She was always smiling and friendly with others, seemingly nothing special.
Several times when facing her, Li Zhuangsheng felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, his mind overflowing with some inexplicable emotion, leaving only the thought of "confessing." But each time, he suppressed it.
How could a girl like Zhu Zhixue possibly be interested in you... Don't flatter yourself and humiliate yourself. Don't forget the three great illusions of life!
Of course, besides Zhu Zhixue, Li Zhuangsheng also thought of Hu Mengdie with shame.
To be honest, his heart had been racing a lot lately because of Hu Mengdie, and he'd even secretly rejoiced at the possibility that she had feelings for him. If Hu Mengdie really did like him just now, he felt like he'd be ecstatically becoming a puppy!
To paraphrase Lu Mingfei, he put a rope around his neck and happily followed her!
Besides that, he's also been having a great time chatting with a female online friend lately... She seems to be the complete opposite of his sister—a sweet and gentle girl. So cute!
Thinking about it, I guess I am a bit of a womanizer... even though these three girls have nothing to do with me. (End of Chapter)
