Chapter 168 Sorry
The sky in the distance dimmed a little more, and the clouds looked like sand. Hu Mengdie followed Li Zhuangsheng lightly and strolled along the edge of the playground.

"You are very impulsive today," said Li Zhuangsheng.

"Are you touched?" Hu Mengdie asked with a smile.

"No, I feel very embarrassed. I just feel that I am being coerced."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to coerce you, I just wanted to prove..."

Li Zhuangsheng said in a stern voice: "If you are expelled from school for this, I will think you deserve it. Besides, I am looking forward to seeing you being expelled from school."

Hu Mengdie walked quickly to Li Zhuangsheng and grinned, "Of course I deserve it. You don't need to sympathize with me!"

"Of course I won't sympathize with you..." Li Zhuangsheng said, his stern expression suddenly froze, and he lifted Hu Mengdie's long hair on the left side, "What's wrong with your face?"

Hu Mengdie didn't wear her hair in a ponytail as usual, but let it down. Li Zhuangsheng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now he realized that she seemed to be trying to hide the redness and swelling on her face.

"You were slapped by your father-in-law, so you feel embarrassed for him." Hu Mengdie smiled.

Li Zhuangsheng expected to be called as the parent, but he was surprised to receive such a strong palm print.

"He knows that you..."

"So it was just a slap, that's not bad, right?" Hu Mengdie said calmly, then smiled and acted coquettishly towards Li Zhuangsheng, "It hurts, oooo, oooo, I want a kiss from my husband!"

Li Zhuangsheng looked at her face silently, his pupils trembling slightly, his lips moving slightly, but he said nothing.

"Are you feeling bad? It's okay. I was beaten a lot when I was a kid too! I'm used to it." Hu Mengdie seemed to sense something, her expression changed slightly, and she turned around as if nothing had happened, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it. I'm going to go back and clean up!"

"Already, that's enough."

Li Zhuangsheng grasped Hu Mengdie's arm tightly and slowly opened his mouth.

"Okay, I won't do it next time..." Hu Mengdie tried to break free.

"Don't you think you're annoying?"

"I just want to prove that I love you..."

Li Zhuangsheng's body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists: "But I don't need it. Am I giving you too much face?"

Hu Mengdie covered her ears.

Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath, his brows grim. "I know you can hear me. I've been saying this all along. Don't waste your time on me. Do you think I'm too easy to talk to? Are you forcing me to make myself clear? I don't like you. I have my own life. Please don't bother me, okay? Your behavior only moves yourself. I find it disgusting! Can you please stop doing this? You're so despicable!"

Hu Mengdie's hands trembled, and she slowly put them down, forcing a provocative smile on her face: "I know you deliberately said it so harshly, because you want me to hate you and give up. I know you don't want me to keep hanging, but I won't!"

Li Zhuangsheng pinched the seam of his trousers, gnashing his teeth, the voice seemed to be forced out: "In my previous life, I was a loser with no luck with women. I envied and hated the couples on campus. So this time when I was reborn, I also want to have a relationship to make up for the regrets of the past! I think Zhu Zhixue is not bad, she is pretty, with big breasts and a nice butt. I want to kiss her and sleep with her! I also want to possess a girl's youth! So can you fucking let me go and let me enjoy the youth of the second dimension!"

Hu Mengdie was stunned by the scolding. She had difficulty breathing and almost lost her balance. "But, but, I am also..." Hu Mengdie stammered.

"Who are you? Are you worthy? No one in the second dimension is you." Li Zhuangsheng pinched his thigh tightly, insisting on saying it out loud. Once he said it out loud, it would be over!

"Second-hand goods!" Li Zhuangsheng said viciously.

I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry, you should stay away from people like me.

"Second-hand goods are second-hand goods. Even if a girl uses a 99% new one for herself, it is still second-hand goods! Why should I buy second-hand goods when I can use a brand new one!"

Don't waste your time on me, you have your own life and you can find something better.

"If you still insist on being shameless, that's fine. Anyway, from today on, I will no longer treat you kindly!"

Please, just stop and don't do things that hurt yourself. If you just stay away from me, you won't have to suffer so much.

The sun completely sank into the horizon, and the world seemed to be silent.

Li Zhuangsheng finished his words in one breath, and then he stopped looking at Hu Mengdie, turned around and walked away. Perhaps he didn't dare to look, afraid to see her reaction, afraid that he would be soft-hearted again.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Li Zhuangsheng kept apologizing in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot, and only then did he prevent his tears of pain from falling.

He had never spoken so harshly to anyone before, and this time, the person he least wanted to hurt was the one he loved.

Li Zhuangsheng is a typical people-pleasing personality, and he instinctively avoids falling out. So he always leaves room for maneuver in everything he does and says, even when he rejected Hu Mengdie at the gate of the community, and even when he later exposed the fact that she didn't love him, he avoided using a harsh tone, fearing that something he said might accidentally hurt someone's self-esteem and feelings.

Perhaps it was this meaningless "gentleness" that gave Hu Mengdie the possibility of seeing hope again and again. He felt that this "people-pleasing personality" was a form of evasion in social situations, a cunning way of evading responsibility and guilt.

He wanted to end it all, he had to end it all. Hu Mengdie's confession at noon gave him this idea. This was a kind of "self-harming" love, expressing love to him by hurting herself, and he must not let Hu Mengdie continue.

It is impossible to say that he was not moved at all. How could he not feel flattered by Hu Mengdie's passionate confession of love in front of the whole school despite the disapproval of the world... But he knew that he still could not accept it.

The thorn is always there, and it cannot be eliminated even if we get back together. As the saying goes, it is like a thorn in the throat, like a maggot attached to the bone. It may not be visible on weekdays, but it is there.

He had been thinking about this matter since he came out of Director He's office. He hesitated for an entire afternoon and finally made up his mind during the general cleaning.

When he saw Hu Mengdie, he was still hesitant about how to start the conversation, but the bright red palm print instantly stimulated him. He absolutely had to solve the problem. He absolutely could not leave any room for maneuver.

He finally said it, even though it was not the truth and it was the first time, it was enough to hurt people. He felt extremely regretful the moment he said it, but the more regretful he felt, the more it proved that he was successful.

At the corner, Li Zhuangsheng quickly glanced at Hu Mengdie's original position, and saw that the other party was standing there as if petrified.

It's like a shadow that shouldn't exist.

sorry Sorry sorry……
