Chapter 151 Canteen (1/4)

"I know Hu Mengdie's results."

After the lunch break, Li Zhuangsheng just returned to the classroom and Zhang Qixiang came up to him with a smile.

"How many points?" Li Zhuangsheng asked subconsciously.

Zhang Qixiang turned his face away: "I won't tell you yet, let's have dinner together tonight, I've already told Han Miaoyan."

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless: "You actually don't believe me. I will definitely do what I promised you."

"Hey, come and have dinner together, I'll treat you tonight!"

"Is this miser willing to pluck the feathers?" Li Zhuangsheng laughed.

"Please take some of the money. I don't have much money..."

"I see. Then tell me first, who scored higher, hers or mine?"

"I'll tell you at dinner tonight!"

Li Zhuangsheng sighed silently. Who is this innocent and servile guy in front of him? Why does he look so strange?
After the afternoon class, Zhang Qixiang couldn't wait to pull Li Zhuangsheng and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria!"

"You should eat alone tonight. I have something to do."

Li Zhuangsheng said to Lin Yuehua with a helpless look. Lin Yuehua nodded and left without saying anything else.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhixue came over, her eyes flickering.

"Accepting a disciple." Li Zhuangsheng said concisely.

Zhu Zhixue frowned and glared at Zhang Qixiang in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you wouldn't accept any disciples? You have to learn too, why waste your time!"

Zhang Qixiang turned his face away, and Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself, do you also feel embarrassed?
"It's okay, just spend some time on it occasionally, it won't interfere with your studies too much." Li Zhuangsheng could only shake his head.

If it were someone else, Li Zhuangsheng would certainly decline, but after all, it was Zhang Qixiang who asked him, and for the sake of their friendship of more than ten years, he had to agree.

Zhu Zhixue glared at Zhang Qixiang and said, "Humph, Han Miaoyan... Then I'll go with you."

"Do you mind hiring one more person?" Li Zhuangsheng pointed at Zhu Zhixue.

"This... okay!" Zhang Qixiang showed a trace of embarrassment and pain on his face, but he thought that Zhu Zhixue might become a "master's wife" after all, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Zhu Zhixue looked Zhang Qixiang up and down and said disdainfully, "You're treating me? Look at how stingy you are. No wonder you can't catch up with Han Miaoyan!"

Zhang Qixiang's face flushed: "I, my family is very strict!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhuangsheng with a reproachful look, thinking that he was the one who told Zhu Zhixue that he liked Han Miaoyan.

"Why are you looking at me? It has nothing to do with me. I don't know how she knew..." Li Zhuangsheng waved his hands quickly.

"I figured it out myself. Is it that hard to guess? Look at her expression, even a blind person can see it." Zhu Zhixue also immediately stood up to clear Li Zhuangsheng of suspicion.

Oh, how come Li Zhuangsheng didn't see that you liked him? Is he worse than a blind man? Zhang Qixiang was ashamed and angry. Of course, he didn't dare to say it.

The three of them walked to the cafeteria entrance together. Han Miaoyan was already waiting at the entrance with her two friends by her side.

"You guys are here!"

Han Miaoyan walked up with a smile on her face, holding a notebook in her arms, and her friends around her showed some hostility towards Zhu Zhixue.

"Yes, Li Zhuangsheng and I are buddies, and we can definitely make it happen!" Zhang Qixiang patted Li Zhuangsheng on the shoulder, looking proud. After they ordered their meals and were looking for an empty seat, Zhu Zhixue suddenly patted Li Zhuangsheng on the arm.

Li Zhuangsheng followed Zhu Zhixue's gaze and saw Li Xiuyu, who rarely appeared in the cafeteria, sitting with her was Hu Mengdie.

Hu Mengdie looked listless, and Li Xiuyu stuck close to her, seemingly telling a joke to try to cheer her up.

Zhu Zhixue pouted. She was obviously concerned about the closeness between Li Xiuyu and Hu Mengdie, but at this moment she could only pretend to be indifferent: "Your sister, do you want to go say hello?"

"Don't worry about her."

Li Zhuangsheng said softly that Li Xiuyu didn't like being too close to him at school, and besides, Hu Mengdie was by his side, so he should just pretend not to see it.

When a few people passed by, Li Xiu Yu also noticed Li Zhuangsheng. He didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly noticed Zhu Zhixue and several other girls next to him, so he couldn't help but look up and glare at him.

When Li Zhuangsheng saw Hu Mengdie, he lowered his head slightly. Hu Mengdie also lowered her head and buried her face deeply.

As if sensing something, Zhu Zhixue's eyes quickly swept between the two of them, her lips pursed.

The few of them found an empty table and sat down. Han Miaoyan seemed to have forgotten the little friction during the day and took the initiative to reach out and greet Zhu Zhixue: "Hello, hello, I'm Han Miaoyan. There may be some misunderstandings during the day, we..."

Since she had heard that Zhu Zhixue had a crush on Li Zhuangsheng, and seeing that the two of them seemed to have a good relationship, she guessed that the two of them should be together soon.

She heard that Zhu Zhixue rejected everyone's confession, and every time she clearly stated that she had someone she liked, and told others not to come again. And she heard from people in Class 13 that Zhu Zhixue was very close to Li Zhuangsheng, and she only joked with other boys occasionally, so she started to spread the rumor that Zhu Zhixue liked Li Zhuangsheng.

It is said that someone had asked Zhu Zhixue for confirmation and the other party seemed to admit it. It is not known whether it is true or not, but it has not been made public anyway.

Regardless, this was enough to prove that the two had a close relationship. Han Miaoyan could only try to please her.

Although, there is a little loss and resistance in my heart.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart."

Zhu Zhixue also stretched out her hand, but she quickly retracted it after lightly touching the other person's palm with her fingertips, which made Han Miaoyan a little embarrassed.

"You, don't mind it. Zhu Zhixue is a little bit of a germaphobe and doesn't like to have physical contact with others - except Li Zhuangsheng." Zhang Qixiang emphasized to Han Miaoyan the special relationship between Zhu Zhixue and Li Zhuangsheng.

“Ah, ah…I see.”

"This is called mysophobia!" Zhu Zhixue retorted and kicked Zhang Qixiang under the table.

She subconsciously glanced at Li Zhuangsheng, but Li Zhuangsheng did not hear her. He just looked around and saw Lin Yuehua eating frantically.

Lin Yuehua sensed the gazes of others and looked up to meet Li Zhuangsheng's eyes. After a moment, as if she was a child caught doing something bad, Lin Yuehua turned away unconsciously. She had been eating voraciously, thinking of finishing her dinner early before returning to work, but now she began to eat in small bites.

But after eating just two bites, she stiffened her neck and looked at Li Zhuangsheng with confidence, as if nothing had happened before.

What are you looking at? Aren’t the way I eat very delicate?
Li Zhuangsheng looked away.

Zhu Zhixue, who had seen the two men's gaze, pinched Li Zhuangsheng's thigh hard and said, "Your disciple is talking to you!"

Li Zhuangsheng felt pain, then forced a smile at Han Miaoyan: "Ah? What did you say?"

"I say, am I your apprentice now?" Han Miaoyan repeated, with anticipation and nervousness on her face.

Li Zhuangsheng looked at Zhang Qixiang, and there was a pleading look in Zhang Qixiang's eyes.
