Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Li Zhuangsheng took Qin Luanyu for a long walk in his childhood campus, visiting almost every corner of the school, and also told her many interesting stories from his childhood.

Li Zhuangsheng hadn't been to school for a long time. The last time he came, he just hurried to Hu Mengke's classroom and didn't bother to look around. So, in a sense, this was a revisit to the old place after ten years. He recalled a lot of things, and it felt like he had accidentally found Andersen's fairy tales that he had read as a child in the storage cabinet.

Qin Luanyu listened with great interest, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Leaving the Experimental Primary School along the same route, Li Zhuangsheng turned his head to look at the orange teaching building behind him and couldn't help but sigh: "A heart full of sorrow, a few years of separation."

"Although the oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a letter." Qin Luanyu interjected.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Zhuangsheng laughed unhappily. "I was just lamenting the passing of time and how carefree my childhood was."

"I am commemorating your dead love...your deskmate named Yin, your first love!"

"That's called first crush, thank you! Are you going to play another Chopin nocturne for me?" Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and laughed, "I haven't seen her since I graduated from elementary school."

"Never seen again?"

"Yes, we went to the same junior high school, but we never ran into each other." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile, "You will understand in the future that the day you graduate will be the last time you see most of your classmates in your life. The world is big."

"Your county town isn't that big!"

"It's not big, but I just won't see it again." Li Zhuangsheng shrugged. "Don't you think this is strange?"

"Do you still like that desk mate?" Qin Luanyu asked.

"Speaking of which, she might be a little special. But I don't usually mention her and I don't think about her anymore. Even if I think of her, I just laugh it off."

Qin Luanyu narrowed her eyes and stretched out her voice: "Humph ~ That means you still like her a little bit. I'm going to tell your girlfriend!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and tapped her head: "How did you come to this conclusion?"

"You said yourself you'd think of her!"

"Rather than thinking of her, it's more like thinking of the foolish self I was back then. Just like those people who miss the past, what they really miss is their past selves. Young people don't know the taste of sorrow."

"You are not that old now, what are you worried about?"

"Haha, you're right. I don't lack anything now, and I don't need to bear anything. If I'm still worried all day, it would be too much of a complaint!"

Li Zhuangsheng laughed twice: "Where should we go next? I probably can't get into junior high school, but if I want to go to high school, I can."

"Is this the school you are staying at now?"

"Yes, our school has a back door that we can sneak in. Because there are some residential buildings in the back, which may be related to the school, the residents there sometimes hang out in the playground during evening self-study."

Li Zhuangsheng walked to a nearby store and took out two bottles of ice water, giving one to Qin Luanyu.

The secret of the back door was discovered by Li Zhuangsheng when he skipped his evening self-study and was lying on the shelf in the playground doing nothing. He also sneaked out when the guard at the small door was not paying attention.

But it’s summer vacation now, and school will start again the day after tomorrow, so it should be quite easy to get in and out of school now.

Qin Luanyu naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity. She gulped down half of the bottle of water in one breath, touched her stomach, and asked Li Zhuangsheng to lead the way.

Li Zhuangsheng pulled Qin Luanyu into the school through the back door. As expected, the atmosphere had been very relaxed these days. There was no guard at the small gate, so they entered the school easily.

The back door is close to the store and the canteen, but at this time the store and the canteen are closed. After all, the school has not started yet, and there are no students in class, and the whole school is quiet.

Li Zhuangsheng continued to introduce the stories of his school to Qin Luanyu, from the small shop to the canteen, and then to the playground.

The high school playground had a standard 400-meter running track, so the two of them naturally wouldn't hang out in the playground under the scorching sun. Li Zhuangsheng only took Qin Luanyu to the side of the platform and told her about his absurd laziness in the past, and the wild and imaginative thoughts he had when he was lying on the platform with nothing to do.

Qin Luanyu nodded frequently when she heard these second-year fantasies, quite agreeing with them and also thinking they were very cool. The joy of being on the same radio wave made Li Zhuangsheng feel like he had met a bosom friend, but then he thought about how his mental age in high school was actually the same as that of elementary school girls, and he couldn't help but laugh.

What amused him the most was that he still found those second-year fantasies very funny today.

After hiding from the sun for a while on the podium beside the playground and resting for a while, Li Zhuangsheng took her to stroll around the teaching building and continued his introduction.

The former spring cleaning, the former physical exercises during breaks, the former blue sky and the stars, the former purple sunset on the horizon... They came to the top floor, and Li Zhuangsheng pointed to the various paths in the school and the violet trellis that was as beautiful as a fairy tale in the spring.

At this time, the violet flowers had already withered, leaving only the leaves lush and green, which looked like a green waterfall from a distance.

Qin Luanyu looked around with great interest and walked to the door of Li Zhuangsheng's classroom. She listened to Li Zhuangsheng talking about interesting things that happened in the past.

When Li Zhuangsheng talked about his high school days, Qin Luanyu thought it was now, but she didn't know that it was ten years ago. She was a little curious why the other party's tone was so strange, as if he was talking about a story from a long time ago.

Actually, a lot of interesting things happened after my rebirth. And since it was not long ago, there are more things to talk about.

But it’s strange, there seems to be nothing to talk about after my rebirth. There are obviously many things to talk about, but I just don’t want to say it.

It seemed that the purpose of this trip was to reminisce. He was an author, Qin Luanyu was his reader, and he was only concerned with telling his stories from the past.

Fortunately, Qin Luanyu is also a good reader and listener.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, the sun was setting, casting a charming golden hue on the empty campus.

Li Zhuangsheng and Qin Luanyu came out of the art building, both of them were sweating profusely. Aunt Song specially prepared dark clothes for Qin Luanyu, so even so, Qin Luanyu did not expose herself.

Qin Luanyu followed Li Zhuangsheng with a smile on her face, and did not complain at all even though she was sweating all over.

The last dinner in the county town was extremely simple. Li Zhuangsheng and Qin Luanyu just had it at a small restaurant outside the school.

"Are you full?" Li Zhuangsheng took out a tissue and handed it to Qin Luanyu.

"full!"

"It tastes okay. I used to eat this fried noodles often."

"Well, it tastes good!"

"I had a classmate who ate a cockroach in this restaurant one day. After I found out, I didn't come here for about a week."

Qin Luanyu's face changed: "You! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled smugly: "If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't be able to eat it."

"If you had told me earlier I wouldn't have eaten it!"

"It's okay. Didn't I eat with you? When I heard the news, I thought I would never come to this restaurant again. But within a week, I still came. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because the fried noodles here taste really good, I couldn't resist. So, I wanted to bring you here to try it before you leave. This store won't be open for a few years, and maybe it won't be open next time you come."

Maybe there won't be a next time.

Qin Luanyu heard this and lost the last bit of anger she had left. She was speechless and choked up: "At least you should pay attention to hygiene, right?"

Li Zhuangsheng laughed: "Come on, I'll take you home. You should go to bed early tonight, because you have to take a five-hour bus ride tomorrow morning."
