Chapter 116

Li Zhuangsheng rode his electric scooter through the night sky. Although it will be November tomorrow, it is still relatively warm in this small town on the banks of the Huai River.

"How are you getting along with Hu Mengdie lately?"

The gentle night breeze blew up a few fallen leaves, and Li Zhuangsheng tentatively asked his sister behind him.

Li Xiuyu hugged Li Zhuangsheng from behind, put his hands in his coat pockets, rubbed his shoulders, and snorted: "Why are you asking this?"

Of course she has a very good relationship with Hu Mengdie!

No, the word "good" is not enough to describe their relationship. They are half-sisters!

She had heard that Li Zhuangsheng always ate with a girl, and Li Xiuyu had secretly observed her and found out that the girl was Lin Yuehua. Li Zhuangsheng had mentioned this to her, saying that he invited Lin Yuehua to dinner, firstly to repay her help in study, and secondly because he felt that her family was really pitiful...

In response to this, Li Xiuyu just said a few words, saying it was not appropriate to go too far, and there was no reason to stop it.

It is a person's freedom to eat with whomever he wants, even if that person has touched his mouth before.

But if eating with Lin Yuehua all day long only touched the critical point of her blood pressure, then Zhu Zhixue, that vixen with a huge amount of fat accumulated in some vulgar part, also joined in every now and then, which was really hard to accept!
"I saw your brother having dinner with Zhu Zhixue again. Are they dating?"

Every time Li Xiuyu heard this sentence, he felt like his mentality was about to explode, but even when he asked Li Zhuangsheng, the other party just answered calmly that they were just friends, and it was normal to sit down and have a meal together occasionally!
It's normal for friends to do this, but are you two ordinary friends? Does she treat you as an ordinary friend?
For this purpose, Li Xiu Yu specially asked Zhu Zhixue to go for a walk on the playground during the break before evening self-study.

The two walked around for a while until the blood-red sunset fell. The sky became dark, leaving only the last orange silhouette in the distant horizon.

Li Xiuyu finally couldn't help but ask directly and tactfully: "Are you interested in Li Zhuangsheng?"

"Ah...why are you asking that?"

Although she was prepared, Zhu Zhixue was still quite flustered when asked this by her future sister-in-law, and could only laugh dryly.

Li Xiuyu already had the answer in his mind, but he still didn't give up and insisted on hearing it from the other party: "I just want to ask, are you interested in Li Zhuangsheng?"

"I, I didn't! He and I are just friends!"

Zhu Zhixue waved her hands quickly. Even the dark sky could not hide the blush on her face.

Li Xiuyu frowned. She was skeptical when she first heard the rumor, but now seeing Zhu Zhixue's reaction, she was already 80% convinced.

"Actually, he is not interested in love. What you are doing is... useless." Li Xiuyu tried to dissuade him cautiously.

"Well, he said that..." Zhu Zhixue's face darkened.

Thinking about what she said to Li Zhuangsheng at her house that day, he said he didn't want to have a relationship, and his tone was so matter-of-fact.

After learning that she had a strong competitor like Hu Mengdie, her pressure suddenly increased, and she even wanted to confess her feelings directly.

But Li Zhuangsheng's words and actions that night made her hesitate.

He seems to have a special feeling for Hu Mengdie. Can he accept himself now? He doesn't want to fall in love. What if he is rejected?

In such a hesitant mood, she had no choice but to shrink back and dared not take the initiative to move forward.

"How do you know? Did he tell you?"

Li Xiuyu was surprised, and wondered in his heart under what circumstances Li Zhuangsheng said these words to Zhu Zhixue. "Well... I really don't like him! We are just friends!" Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips.

His sister has come to visit him, so he definitely can't admit it at this time. It would be bad if Li Xiuyu told Li Zhuangsheng.

How could the girls' thoughts be hidden from each other? Li Xiuyu could naturally tell the truth from the false. She sighed inwardly, and then wondered bitterly if Li Zhuangsheng had drugged Zhu Zhixue?
"Actually, I'm telling you, there's nothing good about Li Zhuangsheng. He's very sloppy. He only takes a bath once every few days. He throws his socks around randomly. He also sleeps very badly and grinds his teeth. And..."

"I think he's a nice guy..." Zhu Zhixue couldn't help but interrupt Li Xiuyu loudly, but after a moment she realized that her attitude was inappropriate and forced a smile, "He and I are just friends, I think he's a nice guy."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and Li Xiuyu felt a little angry. He was not angry at Zhu Zhixue's interruption, but at her attitude towards Li Zhuangsheng.

It's really frustrating. I know whether he is a good person or not, but why do you think so?
In the end, the conversation ended in a dull manner with both sides exercising restraint, and Li Xiuyu's fist hit the cotton.

She didn't like Zhu Zhixue, even though Zhu Zhixue's tone seemed to be trying to please her...this also made her unhappy!

And now it's the sisters' turn to take the stage.

Hu Mengdie told her that she always saw Li Zhuangsheng eating with other girls in the cafeteria, so for Li Xiuyu, she would sit next to them and watch them to prevent them from doing anything inappropriate or having any chance to do so!

I really want to become sworn brothers with Hu Mengdie, even if we are sisters it’s no more than this!
It’s not that Li Xiuyu had never thought about going to school herself, but she usually thought the food in the cafeteria was not tasty, so she had lunch at a restaurant outside the school. For dinner, she and a few classmates would secretly call to order takeout, and she almost never went to the cafeteria.

Most importantly, she was not close to Li Zhuangsheng in school, because in primary school, she was teased by someone, "Why are you always with your brother? Do you like your brother?" This made her feel shocked and embarrassed. She didn't want to be teased again, because people with a guilty conscience are always more sensitive.

Therefore, Hu Mengdie's proactive action also helped Li Xiuyu solve a big problem, and she was only grateful to Hu Mengdie in her heart.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask..."

Li Zhuangsheng sighed and took a deep breath. Seeing Li Xiuyu's cautious look, it was impossible to get information about Hu Mengdie from her. He would go to Hu Mengdie and explain it to her tomorrow.

……

"You have the midterm exam tomorrow. These two pens are for you!" Li Zhuangsheng handed over two Pilot pens.

"why?"

Lin Yuehua took a look and didn’t recognize the brand, but it was neither Chenguang Zhencai nor Deli.

Li Zhuangsheng said seriously: "In the last monthly exam, you only ranked second in the entire liberal arts class. I hope you can get first place this time and don't embarrass me, your apprentice!"

"Yes." Lin Yuehua accepted the two pens, curled the corners of her mouth, and said in a cold tone, "If you can't get into the top 800 this time, I will expel you from my sect."

"Don't worry, I will definitely try my best. At least I won't take the exam in the cafeteria next time!"

"I'm talking about the first 800!"

"I will never go into the cafeteria again. You don't even need to tell me if I go into the cafeteria again. I'm too embarrassed to see you!"

"I meant the first 800. You are deliberately not hearing me, right?"

"That's right, no matter how bad it is, I won't go to the cafeteria!"
