Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Oh my, this first hill feels so short!"

On the way down the mountain, Qin Luanyu grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's hand and sighed with a smile.

"It's really not high. The Jianghuai area has been hilly since ancient times, and there are no high mountains."

Li Zhuangsheng nodded in agreement. When he was a child, he was also puzzled as to why such a small mountain could be called the No. 1 mountain.

Perhaps it is the first mountain that the Jin or Mongolian soldiers need to face when they march south?

"But the scenery is also nice. It makes me want to recite poetry." Qin Luanyu showed her high emotional intelligence again.

"Haha, are you in a hurry to leave tomorrow? I guess no one will urge you to go on a blind date this time, right?"

"Blind date? What kind of blind date?" Qin Luanyu frowned in confusion, "Sometimes you talk weirdly. I'm not leaving tomorrow."

"Then I'll take you to Xiangshan Park. In this shabby place of ours, the only attraction worth seeing is the mining lake on Xiangshan." Li Zhuangsheng said, "It's very beautiful. If you have a poem, recite it tomorrow."

"Okay, let me see how beautiful it is." Qin Luanyu straightened her chest, "I tell you, I have very high standards. I'm from Hangzhou, and we have the West Lake there! You know the West Lake, it's Xizi Lake! If I were to compare the West Lake to Xizi, light makeup or heavy makeup would always be suitable."

Didn’t you say there’s nothing to see in West Lake? Li Zhuangsheng complained in his heart.

"Is West Lake beautiful? I would also like to go for a walk by the West Lake if I have a chance."

"Go see Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen?"

"No, let's go to see Su Xiaoxiao's tomb. I heard that Su Xiaoxiao's tomb is right by the West Lake." Li Zhuangsheng showed an ambiguous smile, "It is said that Su Xiaoxiao was a great beauty!"

"Ah - I despise you!" Qin Luanyu let go of Li Zhuangsheng's hand with a look of disgust, but a moment later, perhaps because she felt the way down the mountain was too steep, she held it again.

"We are united in heart and cannot bear to be cut by fireworks," said Qin Luanyu.

Li Zhuangsheng was slightly startled, as if he had realized something, then he smiled again: "You know such an unpopular poem, how impressive!"

"It was written by Li He. I love his poems!"

"I like him too. Some people say his poems are full of ghostly spirit, so people call him Poet Ghost. However, I feel that some of his poems are more fairy-like than Li Bai's. Although my favorite poet is Li Bai, I think his poems are romantic and bold, but not quite the fairy-like spirit I imagined. Only "Ancient Moon Song" and "Asking the Moon with Wine" are most in line with my personal understanding of fairy-like spirit."

"Then you must really like Li He's Dream of the Sky?"

"Well, I also like Li Ping's Konghou Introduction and Heavenly Ballads. The King of Qin Drinking is also good, as is the Emperor's Song. Although I don't quite understand it, I feel it. There are a few good poems in Horse Poems." Li Zhuangsheng said, and turned to ask Qin Luanyu, "What about you? What's your favorite poem of Li He?"

"'The Short and Bitter Day.'" Qin Luanyu was silent for a moment and said softly.

"You actually like this song the most?" Li Zhuangsheng was a little surprised. "The Day Is Short" is good, but it doesn't seem like something an elementary school student would like.

"Well, I just like one sentence in it."

"Which sentence?"

"Only the cold moon and warm sun come to fry people's lives."

Qin Luanyu spoke softly and slowly, and Li Zhuangsheng felt that the other party's grip on his hand tightened slightly.

"You..." Li Zhuangsheng opened his mouth, a little dazed.

The golden sunset illuminated Qin Luan's face, but her face was mostly in shadow under the cover of her sun hat.

"In fact, I like the last two lines of this poem the most." Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head, "Liu Che's Maoling Mausoleum has many stagnant bones, and Ying Zheng's coffin is made of abalone. These two feudal dog emperors..."

"Last year, my mother took me to West Lake." Qin Luanyu gently interrupted Li Zhuangsheng, "Su Xiaoxiao's poem was told to me by her."

"Oh... so that's it. Your mother is really knowledgeable." Li Zhuangsheng was a little speechless.

"We live by the West Lake, but I haven't been there for a long time." Qin Luanyu whispered, "There's nothing fun about the West Lake. In fact, there's really nothing fun about the West Lake, and I don't think it's that beautiful."

Li Zhuangsheng was silent. At this moment, he could only slow down his pace silently, hold Qin Luanyu's hand tightly, and walk down the stone steps slowly.

"But at that time, my mother was already in very poor health," Qin Luanyu said. "She couldn't go anywhere but to the nearest West Lake. That was the last time she went out. Because she said before that she would take me out to play when she recovered. She couldn't recover, but she still wanted to take me out to play."

As Qin Luanyu spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks and her voice was filled with sobs. Li Zhuangsheng felt pity for her and stopped, slowly touching her head.

"Your mother is such a gentle person, she must have gone to heaven. Don't cry, your mother must be very happy in heaven, and she must be blessing you every day." Li Zhuangsheng pursed his lips to comfort her.

Qin Luanyu buried her face in Li Zhuangsheng's arms and cried. Her crying became louder and louder, disturbing the chirping of cicadas all over the mountain and the roosting birds in the forest.

"...West Lake is not fun at all. Anyway, I will never go there again."

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Qin Luanyu wiped all her snot and tears on Li Zhuangsheng's clothes and said viciously.

"Well, if it's not fun, then we won't go!" Li Zhuangsheng agreed.

Before they knew it, they had walked down the mountain and out of the gate of the scenic area. Because it was summer, although it was late, the sky was still bright.

"Are you hungry? Let's go somewhere to eat later?" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

"Well, I can eat anything. I'm not a spoiled person!" Although they went down the mountain, Qin Luanyu still held Li Zhuangsheng's hand.

"Yes, I can see that you are a strong and brave girl." Li Zhuangsheng praised her while thinking about where to go for dinner in the evening.

Although Qin Luanyu said it didn't matter, Li Zhuangsheng couldn't neglect it. Scratching his head, he really didn't know what delicious food there was in the county town.

The restaurants and hotels he had heard of were not open yet. It was 2014, and there were not many fine restaurants in the county.

The best restaurants in his memory during high school were KFC and the buffet for over fifty people. Come on, over fifty people want to entertain rich women?

"Let's go to Guomao... Do you want to eat KFC?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.

"Sure... Is there a Pizza Hut? McDonald's is also fine?"

"It's not available right now. Come back and play in ten years. It will be available then."

Li Zhuangsheng pushed out the electric bike as he spoke. Qin Luanyu sat on the back seat and hugged Li Zhuangsheng's waist.

Walking into the door of KFC, the abundant air conditioning inside made Li Zhuangsheng and Qin Luanyu close their eyes comfortably.

"Just make do with this tonight. I'll treat you to Huaiyang cuisine tomorrow. This place is quite close to my home, and there's a square opposite. I'll take you for a walk after dinner. The fountain should be open by now." Li Zhuangsheng said without raising his head, playing with his mobile phone.

He plans to go home tonight and call his father to ask which restaurants in the county are suitable for entertaining friends.

"Okay!"

Qin Luanyu had no objection to Li Zhuangsheng's arrangement. She came here just to see Li Zhuangsheng, and she would go wherever Li Zhuangsheng went.
