Chapter 129 Brother-in-law
"Sorry, I'm late."

Li Zhuangsheng saw Hu Mengdie standing at the door of the breakfast shop outside the community waiting for him from afar. Before he stopped the car, a figure suddenly jumped out in front of him.

"Brother-in-law——" the person called sweetly.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned, looking a little dazed.

"This..." Li Zhuangsheng turned to look at Hu Mengdie with a surprised expression.

"What? Don't you recognize your sister-in-law?" Hu Mengdie teased.

Li Zhuangsheng blinked: "I know him..."

He looked at Hu Mengke in front of him, who was wearing a primary school uniform, a white shirt on top and a dark red pleated skirt on the bottom. This unique school uniform was exclusive to the only private primary school in the county.

But the point is not the outfit, but the appearance. The other person has two pure and lovely pigtails on her shoulders, slender arms and legs, and is about 1.6 meters tall. Although the childishness on her face has not completely faded, it is almost the same as the one Li Zhuangsheng remembered.

"She...should be in sixth grade this year, right?" Li Zhuangsheng said to Hu Mengdie.

"It's normal for girls to develop early. I was almost this tall when I was in sixth grade." Hu Mengdie smiled and gently touched Hu Mengke's shoulder.

"Oh... that's true..."

Thinking about it carefully, Li Xiuyu was taller than him for a short period of time during the period from sixth grade to first grade of junior high school. However, before Li Zhuangsheng came, he had always thought of Hu Mengke as a primary school student. It was a bit surprising to see a "familiar face" out of the blue.

"Brother-in-law, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that he was being ignored, Hu Mengke's big round eyes revealed a bit of dissatisfaction, and he grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's arm and shook it continuously.

"Oh, I'm listening!" Li Zhuangsheng nodded quickly and looked at Hu Mengke again.

She has the innocence that only a child can have, but her breasts have begun to develop. That cuteness is gradually turning into charm as she grows up, especially her big round eyes... She looks like a half-ripe fruit, with a green, sweet and sour taste.

Li Zhuangsheng looked away unnaturally, not because he had any thoughts about the child, but because this familiar face reminded him of the sister-in-law who seduced him in a red stepmother's skirt and black stockings.

And that night, the candlelight flickered and the face was intoxicated by the red wine.

The two even kissed, and I almost lost control. Now seeing Hu Mengdie and Hu Mengke again, I can't help but feel guilty and ashamed.

He had only kissed two girls in his life, one was Hu Mengdie, who was legitimate, and the other was his sister-in-law who was not in the right anyway - if you don't count the accident with Lin Yuehua. After all, the pain from the collision of the flesh with Lin Yuehua was the only thing that happened, and Li Zhuangsheng didn't even remember what Lin Yuehua's lips felt like.

Don't let your imagination run wild, don't let your imagination run wild. No one knows about that incident now, so don't let your imagination run wild about the child. Li Zhuangsheng lowered his eyes and said to himself.

"Sister, why does my brother-in-law look so dull?" Hu Mengke pulled Li Zhuangsheng's wrist and smiled at Hu Mengdie.

"Maybe you're hungry because you didn't have breakfast." Hu Mengdie gently slapped Hu Mengke's hand away, "Okay, stop bothering your brother-in-law, let's go have breakfast."

Hu Mengdie took Li Zhuangsheng's hand and walked towards the breakfast shop. Li Zhuangsheng felt guilty and forgot to resist for a moment. He let her hold his hand. It was not until they entered the store that he reacted and gently shook her off.

"You said...your sister wants my help with something, what is it?"

After Li Zhuangsheng sat down, he looked a little unnatural.

"Indeed, there is something very serious." Hu Mengdie said seriously, "I asked you to come here today because I hope you can teach Mengke how to write essays."

"...Ah?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned. Hu Mengdie smiled and said, "You are a great writer, so it would be easy for you to teach her how to write an essay, right?"

Li Zhuangsheng held his forehead and said, "This isn't something urgent, is it?"

You told me something very important before, and I thought she was being bullied again! Then I came here as soon as I got off work, but you told me that you were just here to teach her how to write an essay?
Hu Mengdie opened her eyes wide, somewhat dissatisfied with Li Zhuangsheng's attitude: "She is already in the sixth grade. What if she fails to get into No. 1 Middle School when she is promoted from primary school to junior high school next year?"

"No, then she was..."

"Of course I didn't pass the exam."

The corner of Li Zhuangsheng's mouth twitched slightly.

“Brother-in-law, are you really a writer?”

Hu Mengke blinked his eyes, their eyes sparkling.

Hu Mengdie raised her swan neck proudly: "Of course, your brother-in-law is a very good writer, and each of his books has hundreds of thousands of readers!"

"That's a collection, not a subscribed reader..."

Li Zhuangsheng corrected him feebly, thinking to himself, if I really had hundreds of thousands of readers subscribing to each of my books, Yuewen would have offered me a platinum contract to sign with. I wouldn't even dare to think of this in my dreams.

"That's amazing, but aren't you all high school students? Can high school students be writers?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover. Who says high school students can't be writers? Don't worry, your brother-in-law is good at writing. As long as he is willing to teach you, it will be a piece of cake for you to write a good essay!"

Li Zhuangsheng sighed silently and thought to himself, don't blow it for me, I'm blushing myself.

Do you have any misunderstanding about me? You don't think I was good at writing in elementary school, do you? Do you know how many points I got in the last monthly exam?
You asked me to teach her how to write essays, isn't that misleading?... I'm not being modest, you know I don't have the ability!

"I'm not very good at teaching, so you might as well hire a Chinese teacher for her." Li Zhuangsheng declined.

"We asked around, but there's no teacher nearby who can teach composition. We sent her to her Chinese teacher's house for tutoring before, but she didn't learn anything." Hu Mengdie spread her hands helplessly, "Please help me, you're a writer."

Li Zhuangsheng was embarrassed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Even if you are a writer, it doesn't mean you can write an essay..."

Hu Mengdie said sincerely: "I'm not asking you to teach her anything else. She just can't write. You just need to teach her some writing skills, or how to write meaningfully!"

"Can……"

"Please, she must be admitted to No. 1 Middle School. Can you just watch her become like the future?"

This sentence made Li Zhuangsheng silent for a moment. He glanced at the puzzled and confused little girl beside him. He thought of the embarrassment that Hu Mengke encountered in the delivery room, and her pain and unwilling tears on the last night...

"Hey!" Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head vigorously and said angrily, "Then I'll give it a try. I may not be able to teach you well, but I can only say that I will try my best!"

"That's great, your brother-in-law said he would teach you how to write an essay!" Hu Mengdie patted Hu Mengke's shoulder happily.

Hu Mengke smiled sweetly, her two braids shaking gently: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"You're welcome..." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and laughed, finally realizing it belatedly, and waved his hand quickly, "Oh, by the way, why do you keep calling me brother-in-law?"
