"Zhu Zhixue?"
Li Zhuangsheng also showed a look of surprise, and almost subconsciously put a little distance between himself and Hu Mengdie.
"What are you doing here?" Zhu Zhixue stepped forward quickly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them with intense scrutiny.
"I... I was the one who took her home..."
Li Zhuangsheng took another step back, feeling a strange sense of guilt, as if he had done something wrong.
Although he neither cheated on his wife nor had anything to do with Zhu Zhixue.
Hu Mengdie observed coldly. She already knew that Li Zhuangsheng had feelings for Zhu Zhixue, and she was naturally quite displeased. However, she sensed that Li Zhuangsheng's feelings for Zhu Zhixue were not deep, and his affection for her was within the realm of typical male attraction to pretty girls, so she didn't take it to heart.
Besides, she vaguely remembered Zhu Zhixue's deeds, and Li Zhuangsheng's personality made it impossible for him to be with a female hooligan.
Other women were like frost and snow to Li Zhuangsheng, but she was the sun and moon. The sun and moon shine on frost and snow, and they will disappear when they look back!
"You took her home, what's your relationship with her?" Zhu Zhixue asked, both surprised and anxious.
Hu Mengdie narrowed her eyes. Why was Zhu Zhixue reacting so strongly? A bad feeling welled up in her heart.
"We're just friends..." Li Zhuangsheng blinked. "You, what are you doing here?"
"I'm going home!"
You live here too?
"Nonsense!" Zhu Zhixue was furious and didn't want to argue with Li Zhuangsheng. She turned her gaze to Hu Mengdie and questioned, "How did you two meet?"
"Well...maybe it's fate," Hu Mengdie said with a smile.
Well, it seems I really do have a little rival in love.
Damn it, Li Zhuangsheng, what's going on with you guys?
You've never been in a relationship before, so why are you two so in love now, making me feel like a third party?
"fate?"
Zhu Zhixue naturally didn't believe it, and was even less willing to believe it. The so-called Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly was utter nonsense!
She felt a deep resentment, like someone who had raised a cabbage for many years only to have it eaten by someone else before she even had a chance to enjoy it.
"So you live in the same neighborhood."
Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself, "This neighborhood has really good feng shui. The two prettiest girls in the whole school live here."
"How did you two get together?" Zhu Zhixue asked, glaring at Li Zhuangsheng when she couldn't get an answer from Hu Mengdie.
No, young lady, you can't get agitated at a time like this, and you definitely can't take it out on a man. Men don't like noisy, argumentative women. Hu Mengdie thought coldly.
"us……"
Li Zhuangsheng was sweating profusely. He wanted to explain, but the explanation was too complicated and he couldn't seem to justify it.
He could see Zhu Zhixue's anger, but he couldn't quite understand why. He hadn't done anything immoral or immoral, so why was she so angry?
Was she jealous? Li Zhuangsheng felt both ashamed and happy. Did Zhu Zhixue really like me? Was that why she was unhappy to see me with Hu Mengdie?
Li Zhuangsheng had his doubts before, but he always suppressed them, feeling that they proved nothing. He thought, "Let's see, let's see... Of the three great illusions of life, the most ridiculous is 'She likes me.'"
"She originally planned to hang out with my sister, but then something happened... um, so I brought her back..."
Li Zhuangsheng gave a vague explanation, without providing any specific background or context. Zhu Zhixue, however, didn't care about such details; she only felt that something was going on between Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie!
"I already told you, I'm actually more interested in you, and finding your sister was just a side thing."
Hu Mengdie seemed oblivious to Li Zhuangsheng's predicament and casually added insult to injury.
Zhu Zhixue was furious, thinking to herself, "Is Hu Mengdie crazy?"
"Huh?" Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback, perhaps sensing the faint tension in the air, and quickly said, "Ahem, since you're home, I'll be going now. Zhu Zhixue, I'll be going now..."
"Wait a minute." Hu Mengdie smiled as she took off her coat and draped it over Li Zhuangsheng's shoulders, her voice gentle and warm. "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold." Li Zhuangsheng just wanted to leave at that moment, so he quickly put his coat back on, but Hu Mengdie smiled and pulled him back, adjusting his collar with a mixture of affection and helplessness.
Li Zhuangsheng's heart was racing. He wondered why Hu Mengdie was wearing his coat when they were only a few steps away from her house.
"You'll keep your promise, right?" Hu Mengdie asked softly.
"What agreement?" Li Zhuangsheng didn't understand.
"Don't take so long to reply to my messages anymore!" Hu Mengdie puffed out her cheeks slightly.
"Oh oh oh!"
Li Zhuangsheng nodded vigorously, then chuckled twice at the two of them before turning and going home.
Zhu Zhixue, standing to the side, turned ashen-faced at the sight of the two being so intimate, feeling as if her lungs were about to explode with rage!
A chilly breeze swept through the evening. Zhu Zhixue gritted her teeth as she watched Li Zhuangsheng's figure disappear into the distance, then suddenly hurried after him.
"Your home must be quite far, why don't you just take a taxi back?" Zhu Zhixue bit her lip and said softly, "Don't you have any money?"
“Yes, I have it!” Li Zhuangsheng said.
"Wait for me a moment..."
Zhu Zhixue took off her autumn school uniform jacket, reached into the pocket, and strained her hand through the pocket hole until she finally managed to pry out two 50-cent coins and a one-yuan coin. Then she took out three yuan from her pants pocket and handed them all to Li Zhuangsheng.
"Here, take this. You can take a taxi back..." Zhu Zhixue looked up at the sky, looking annoyed. "It might rain in a bit."
Li Zhuangsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket: "You don't need to give it to me, I really have money!"
Zhu Zhixue was taken aback for a moment, then reluctantly put away the change: "So rich... No wonder you and Hu Mengdie get along so well!"
"No, we're just ordinary friends..."
"If we're good friends, we're good friends. What's there to lie about?"
"I really didn't lie to you... Ugh, I don't know what to say!" Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head in frustration, changing the subject, "Where are you?"
"I went to Yao Xingyu's house to play. I watched the cartoon you mentioned at her house before I came back!"
"You've read Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day?" Li Zhuangsheng asked, his voice filled with surprise and delight.
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Zhu Zhixue pouted and snorted, turning her face away and waving her hand. "Go back early! We'll talk in class tomorrow."
The two parted ways, and Zhu Zhixue hurried back to the entrance of the residential area, but unfortunately Hu Mengdie was no longer there.
……
"Hello, Jiang Qing."
"what's wrong?"
"Hmm, do you know Zhu Zhixue?"
"Haha, isn't that the busty girl from Class 13?"
"Does she hang out with those thugs?"
"I've never heard of her. I don't think so. Isn't she in the Sunshine Class too?"
"Really... Does she have someone she likes?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this? I heard she seems to like your husband, haha, I'm just kidding... but I did hear she seems to like the school heartthrob."
"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll hang up now." Hu Mengdie smiled, but there was no real smile in her eyes. (End of Chapter)
