Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Nuo, I bought this for you. I just went to the infirmary to get it for you. Spray some on it."

Zhu Zhixue walked straight up to Li Zhuangsheng and took out a tube of watermelon frost from her pocket.

"Oh, thank you..." Li Zhuangsheng nodded.

"What's the matter? Why are you so polite today?" Zhu Zhixue smiled and patted Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder heavily, "You can't see it, I'll spray you!"

After saying this, without waiting for Li Zhuangsheng to reply, he unscrewed the lid and carefully aimed the spout towards Li Zhuangsheng's mouth.

She looked closely at Li Zhuangsheng's injured mouth and also noticed the small wound on his mouth, wondering what caused the injury. Didn't he say it was caused by eating hot pot? Would eating hot pot also cause a mouth injury?

Just as she was feeling a little confused, Zeng Chen patted her back gently.

"Hey, in broad daylight, what are you doing so close to each other?" Zeng Chen asked jokingly in a long voice.

"His mouth is swollen, can't I spray some medicine on him?" Zhu Zhixue said righteously with a slightly red face.

"Ouch~ Why is your mouth swollen? Did you kiss it?" Zeng Chen's voice became louder, and laughter was heard all around.

"So what if I kissed you? Can't I kiss you?" Zhu Zhixue blushed and glared fiercely.

The good-natured laughter and booing around became louder.

After Zeng Chen's interruption, Zhu Zhixue had no time to think about it. She quickly sprayed Li Zhuangsheng with medicine and ran back to her seat.

Li Zhuangsheng pursed his lips lightly, then realized the powder on his lips and loosened his lips.

Then he lowered his head silently, a little dazed.

"You can be distracted as you like, but I have a dictation before evening study."

Lin Yuehua's cold voice came, and Li Zhuangsheng flipped through the vocabulary book in a hurry again.

Today is Wednesday, the day for the whole school to clean up and also the day for moving seats. Although it is called moving seats, there is no major change, just a horizontal shift.

Of course, there will be minor adjustments. This standard is set by the class teacher, and no one cares about the reasons behind it except the person involved.

Li Zhuangsheng's group was assigned to clean the classroom floor. He was feeling annoyed and just kept mopping the floor.

"I'm going to the shop. Do you want me to bring you anything?" Zhang Qixiang came over with a hopeful look on his face.

"Nothing..." Li Zhuangsheng said, then changed his tone, "Forget it, just buy me a bucket of instant noodles. I don't want to go to the cafeteria to eat later."

"Would you like some ham?"

"Yes." Li Zhuangsheng took it out of his pocket.

"OK!" Zhang Qixiang earned another yuan for running errands and went happily.

Li Zhuangsheng finished mopping the floor vigorously, but felt bored again. At this time, all the chairs were taken to the table and there was no way to return to the seat.

He casually put the mop behind the classroom and walked to the corridor to wander around. Suddenly, the sound of Zhu Zhixue and her friends talking and laughing came from the stairwell not far away. Li Zhuangsheng was startled and subconsciously went downstairs from another stairwell.

Coming back to his senses, he suddenly thought, why should I run?

Forget it, since we're already downstairs, let's just take a walk. In a high school campus, every day you see is a day less. He is already in the second semester of his sophomore year, and in less than a month he will be in his third year. And the third year will pass quickly.

Li Zhuangsheng's memories of his senior year in high school were already blurred, especially after Lin Yuehua dropped out of school, it seemed as if there was only a blank space left.

"Hey, are you reconciled? I just saw her, she said she was going home tonight."

A graceful figure appeared from somewhere.

Because he was facing the setting sun, Li Zhuangsheng squinted his eyes to see the person clearly. It was his ex-wife's classmate, Hu Mengdie.

"Well...right?" Li Zhuangsheng took a step back.

"Well, do you think I have contributed a lot?" Hu Mengdie raised the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm... hmmm, yes, thank you. Without you, this wouldn't have been easy!" Li Zhuangsheng nodded frequently, "When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal."

"Why, do you want to invite Zhu Zhixue to come along?"

"Ah...yeah, she wants to thank you too!"

Hu Mengdie raised her head: "Then I won't eat it!"

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned: "Why? We are really..."

"Come on, what are you thinking?" Hu Mengdie interrupted Li Zhuangsheng with an expression of "can't stand it". "You two invited me to dinner, and you want me to watch you two show your affection, right? Just like last time?"

"Uh..." Li Zhuangsheng smiled bitterly, "Not this time, we are just treating you to a meal!"

"I don't believe it! Besides, it's so awkward for me to be with her! If you're not embarrassed, then I'm embarrassed too!" Hu Mengdie waved her hands, "Either you don't need to invite me, or if you do, don't invite your boyfriend along!"

Li Zhuangsheng blinked and was about to say something else when he saw Zhang Qixiang walking towards them with a plastic bag in the distance.

"Don't you want to come out?" Zhang Qixiang walked up to Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie and said to Li Zhuangsheng.

"Well, I have nothing to do after mopping the floor, so I'll just take a walk." Li Zhuangsheng took another step back and put some distance between himself and Hu Mengdie again.

"I'm about to go back to class, how about I give it to you now?" Zhang Qixiang waved the plastic bag in his hand in front of Li Zhuangsheng.

"No, take it back to class. I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay..." Zhang Qixiang nodded, then looked at Hu Mengdie with a slightly reserved and shy smile on his face, "Then I'll be leaving, sister-in-law..."

"Yeah, okay...eh?" Hu Mengdie was stunned for a moment.

Li Zhuangsheng's face turned black. He resisted the urge to kick Zhang Qixiang and pretended that he didn't hear anything. Damn it, the twenty yuan from last semester is still valid until now, right?

"Are you all here?"

Zhu Zhixue's voice sounded, and she walked to the three people without them knowing.

Li Zhuangsheng's face became even uglier. As expected, Zhang Qixiang also looked at a loss, and obviously realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Ah, I still have things to do, so I'll go back to class first!" Zhang Qixiang suddenly clapped his hands, put on oil on his feet, and walked away dejectedly, leaving Li Zhuangsheng alone.

What a loyal brother you are, Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself.

"Well, we happened to meet and we just chatted for a few words. Xiu Yu has been arguing with him these days!" Hu Mengdie smiled and gently gathered the hair around her ears.

"I see. I also heard from Li Zhuangsheng that you have been helping to mediate the conflict." Zhu Zhixue smiled, then held Li Zhuangsheng's arm and shook it gently. "Thank you."

Since they were on campus, she put it down immediately. But it was still a small declaration of sovereignty.

"There's nothing to thank me for. Xiu Yu is my best friend!" Hu Mengdie smiled and nodded, "Then I'll leave first!"

Zhu Zhixue also watched Hu Mengdie leave with a smile. Such peaceful coexistence disappointed some classmates who wanted to watch the show not far away.

Zhu Zhixue glanced over and snorted. Of course, she couldn't have any conflicts with Hu Mengdie in public and let others laugh at her! "What happened just now?" Zhu Zhixue sniffed and lowered her voice.

"Oh, it was just a normal encounter, and I told her that I was going to treat her to a meal with you."

"I'm not talking about that! I'm asking about Zhang Qixiang!"

"What's up with him?"

Zhu Zhixue gently placed her hand on his arm, then twisted it hard: "Still pretending, I just heard him call Hu Mengdie sister-in-law!"

Li Zhuangsheng played dumb: "What does that have to do with me? I'm not his brother!"

"Who is his brother then?"

"It's not me anyway!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Okay..." Li Zhuangsheng smiled bitterly and decided to tell the truth. "Actually, it's because last semester, when Hu Mengdie was pursuing me, she gave Zhang Qixiang 20 yuan and asked him to call her sister-in-law from now on. I guess I just said it casually just now."

"Twenty yuan can buy him off?" Zhu Zhixue snorted indignantly, "Don't hang out with him anymore in the future. His grades are so bad, he doesn't study all day, and he hangs out with those shady people!"

"In fact, he has made progress in his studies recently..."

"Isn't he still at the bottom of the class?"

This... Li Zhuangsheng had nothing to say. Zhang Qixiang's foundation was too weak. Even if he started to work hard, he was currently ranked last in the Sunshine Class. He originally got into the Sunshine Class by relying on connections.

Li Zhuangsheng smiled bitterly and nodded, thinking that it was all over. Even after another ten or twenty years, Zhang Qixiang would be defined as a "bad friend" in Zhu Zhixue's heart.

Of course, he deserved it, and Li Zhuangsheng had no sympathy for him.

"Every time you ask him to buy something, you give him one dollar as a errand fee?" Zhu Zhixue asked again, "Do you have a lot of money? I think fifty cents is enough. Even if you have money, you should be frugal!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled bitterly and nodded. At this time, he naturally couldn't disobey her. Zhu Zhixue's pouting mouth gradually relaxed, and she reached out and touched the corner of Li Zhuangsheng's mouth with heartache.

"Does your mouth still hurt?"

"Much better." Li Zhuangsheng nodded.

"It's good that I feel better..." Zhu Zhixue hesitated, "Will your sister come home tonight?"

"I think I'll go back... I'm not sure."

Zhu Zhixue paused and looked at Li Zhuangsheng steadily: "I have the key to your house. From now on, I will come to your house to call you in the morning, so that you won't be late! I can also make breakfast for you. The food sold outside is not as hygienic as the one you make yourself! Even if your sister comes home, I can also cook your sister's meal together. Anyway, it's the same for two or three people!"

Li Zhuangsheng was startled, and understood what Zhu Zhixue meant. She wanted to get up early, and then come to Li Zhuangsheng's house in advance to wake him up... and even wanted to make breakfast for him.

However, facing Zhu Zhixue, who had been a wife since high school, Li Zhuangsheng's heart skipped a beat, and the slightest bit of joy he had just felt disappeared in an instant. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, and he felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.

"No, no, this is too hard for you!"

"It's not hard, at most half an hour early!" Zhu Zhixue said with a smile, her body slightly shy, "I'll brush my teeth and wash my face as soon as I get up, it'll be quick, then I'll come to your house to cook... I'll call you to get up when the meal is almost ready, it won't take much time if you plan it this way!"

"No, no, no, sleeping time is very precious. We already have very little sleep time!" Li Zhuangsheng shook his head quickly. "If you don't sleep well at night, your study efficiency will be affected the next day!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhu Zhixue pouted unhappily again.

"I'm fine, she should be back, and I won't be late again." Li Zhuangsheng lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little weak when he mentioned Li Xiuyu.

"Really?" Zhu Zhixue stretched out her voice, a little disappointed, "Then let's go back to class. Was the big bowl of noodles Zhang Xiang brought just now bought for you?"

"Oh, right... no, no, he ate it!"

"That's good. I told you a long time ago that a big bowl of noodles is not nutritious and unhealthy!" Zhu Zhixue said with a smile, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat later. Do you want to invite your sister to join us today?"

"No no... why are you calling her? It's just the two of us!"

Zhu Zhixue tilted her head and glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, her eyes showing some confusion. She always felt that Li Zhuangsheng was a little strange today, especially after talking with Li Xiuyu at noon.

However, ever since Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu had a conflict, his mental state has not been very good. Zhu Zhixue did not think too much about it. She just thought that maybe Li Zhuangsheng and Li Xiuyu were still not completely reconciled.

After the general cleaning, Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue went to the canteen together. On the way, Li Zhuangsheng looked around like a thief. Fortunately, as usual, Li Xiuyu rarely came to the canteen.

After dinner, Li Zhuangsheng returned to the classroom. Since he had just changed seats, Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment before he found his seat.

Lin Yuehua had already returned, and was writing her homework seriously. The sun was setting, and the classroom was a little dim. Li Zhuangsheng turned on the light.

At that moment, he was indeed a little dazed.

The same seat as I remembered. Today was also the first time that the two of us sat side by side at the same table.

Because of his terrible grades, Chen Lanying went straight to the home of the head teacher and handed over a valuable supermarket shopping card. Just today, before the general cleaning, he was transferred to Lin Yuehua's desk.

When he came back from the cafeteria, he was stunned for a moment because of the seat change, and saw his new deskmate writing homework calmly in the noisy classroom.

For a moment, Li Zhuangsheng felt confused, as if he was really reborn. However, he returned to the original time. The overlap of the two timelines made him, like Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly, confused in reality.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Zhu Zhixue poked him.

"Oh... I just moved my seat and didn't react." Li Zhuangsheng came to his senses and smiled. In an instant, he felt as if he had been in another world and had just experienced a short time travel.

"What an idiot." Zhu Zhixue poked Li Zhuangsheng's shoulder with a smile.

As if sensing something, Lin Yuehua in the distance looked up at the two of them.

Li Zhuangsheng turned his face away slightly, then walked quickly to his seat.

"Take out the notebook and take dictation." Lin Yuehua said and put the pen cap on.

"Hey, let me look at you a few more times!"

"No, what were you doing earlier?"

"Let's go eat!"

"Before dinner, I told you that we would have dictation today."

Li Zhuangsheng took out the dictation book helplessly.

Time begins to flow again, and the original history is being rewritten.

Li Zhuangsheng turned his head to look at the sky. It was dusk and it might rain. He felt a little stuffy in his chest.
