Chapter 254 Private
"It's very good, both salty and sweet." Li Zhuangsheng was a little afraid to face Zhu Zhixue's smile, and lowered his head to eat dumplings.

"But these are frozen dumplings bought from the supermarket. Do you want to try this noodle dumplings?" Zhu Zhixue pushed the bowl of noodle dumplings, her eyes hopeful, "I'm not bragging, I'm good at making noodle dumplings!"

"Yeah, it's good, both salty and sweet."

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking. Isn't this the same as before? It's too careless. Are these the only few words you use to write a novel?

"The noodles have a delicate and chewy texture, and the cooking time is just right. The ratio of salt to MSG is also perfect, and with the tomatoes, it tastes very delicious," added Li Zhuangsheng.

"Really? If you like it, eat more!" Zhu Zhixue's face was full of surprise, and she looked at him with a smile, "But don't worry about me, and tell me if it doesn't suit your taste. Otherwise, if I cook for you in the future and you're not used to it, you'll be the one who suffers!"

"It's really perfect, why don't you eat it?"

Li Zhuangsheng lowered his head and laughed at himself. In fact, he couldn't taste anything now. He felt his body was very heavy and everything he ate tasted like chewing wax.

"I want to lose weight, I want to be thinner!"

"Don't lose weight anymore, your current weight is just right." Li Zhuangsheng glared at her deliberately, "I won't like you if you lose any more weight!"

Zhu Zhixue nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, then I won't lose weight!"

"Well, let's eat." Li Zhuangsheng said softly.

Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips and smiled.

After the meal, Li Zhuangsheng was about to clear the dishes, but Zhu Zhixue stopped him: "Let me do it, you don't have to move, just sit down and rest!"

"I just finished my meal and I need to rest again?" Li Zhuangsheng laughed.

"It's okay. Girls should do this kind of housework." Zhu Zhixue raised her eyebrows stubbornly. "I'm telling you, I'm actually very capable! Really! I usually clean the house by myself! Look, isn't my house very clean? I'm really capable! I can cook, wash clothes, and clean... I also clean the bathroom and toilet. I can do everything!"

As Zhu Zhixue spoke, she stared at Li Zhuangsheng timidly, like a fledgling product salesman, awkwardly and nervously selling all the advantages of the product to customers.

Don’t do this, don’t do this... Li Zhuangsheng's heart sank, as if he was being pressed down by a mountain, making him dizzy, with chest tightness and shortness of breath.

He felt like a monkey trapped under a mountain. He clearly didn't want to be like this, but he was pressed down by one mountain after another and couldn't move.

"Well, I see, it's really impressive!" He forced a smile.

"Hehe..." Zhu Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly, and then went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Li Zhuangsheng walked to the sofa and sat down, playing with his Nokia feature phone in his hand gloomily, and called Director Yan.

The relationship with Hu Mengdie a few days ago and the past feelings, the ambiguity with Lin Yuehua and her kiss, the shame for disliking Wang Shuangmei back then, the complicated and unspeakable feelings towards Zhu Zhixue... seemed to form a whirlpool together, rolling him up to the sky and then rolling him down to the ground.

He felt his head spinning, and he felt like he had done something wrong to everyone. He was extremely angry at himself, but he couldn't find a way to control his anger. He wanted to die impulsively to apologize to the world!
He held the phone in his hand, his eyes blank.

Suddenly, he instinctively found Li Xiuyu's phone number in the address book and was about to call her subconsciously, but when he saw the outgoing call screen, he was startled and quickly hung up. Li Xiuyu was still a child, so what was the point of telling her this? It would only cause her more trouble.

He stood up, walked quickly to the balcony, shook his head, and called Director Yan again. He had to resolve last night's incident first.

"Hello, Uncle Yan." Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed.

"Zhuang Sheng wakes up so early?"

"Hahaha, it's not too early. May I ask, what did those people say last night?"

"It's not impossible to be convicted of attempted rape...but the problem is your classmate's father...he's a bit troublesome! He actually owes money, and he even has an IOU in his hand!"

"That money should be loan sharking, right?"

"I understand what you mean, but they are such cunning people. They lent out 200,000 yuan and asked someone to write an IOU for 300,000 yuan without leaving any trace. Moreover, they insisted that they didn't know your classmate's father was using the money for gambling. When he borrowed the money, he said it was for family expenses. Even if this group of people is sentenced to prison, they probably won't be able to get rid of the money... Moreover, your classmate's father's trap is quite big. He owes a lot of money outside, not just to the group of people last night, but also to several other people. The total is at least more than one million."

Li Zhuangsheng remained silent. He understood what Director Yan meant.

Director Yan noticed Li Zhuangsheng's mood, paused, and then said, "By the way, do you want to settle last night's matter privately?"

"You mean, we don't want the money we owe them, but we want a settlement? Will they agree to that?"

"I have this idea. People who do this kind of business are definitely not clean. If they really investigate, they will probably find out something else. I can just scare him and that will basically do the trick. We don't have to worry about them causing trouble again. They definitely don't have the guts to do that."

Li Zhuangsheng was silent for a moment. "Okay, I understand... I'll ask my classmates for their opinions and give you a reply later. Let's detain those people for now."

"Okay... Zhuang Sheng, Uncle Yan has something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

"Go ahead."

"It's best if your female classmate is just a classmate. If she has a father like this, she will be in trouble in the future... You are still young and may think it is true love, but her father is a big burden. Well, if there is anything, communicate with your father more. Your father called me early in the morning to inquire about the situation. You'd better listen to your father's opinions."

"Okay, I understand." Li Zhuangsheng said unintentionally.

Director Yan hung up the phone, but he didn't take it to heart. He and Li Minghua had known each other for many years, and he was indeed concerned about Li Zhuangsheng, but in his opinion, Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue were just children's quarrels at most, and who could predict what would happen in the future. Besides, even if Li Zhuangsheng was in love, there were Li Minghua and Chen Lanying to check on him, so he didn't think there would be any big problems.

Li Zhuangsheng put away his phone and turned around. Zhu Zhixue was standing not far away, looking at him quietly.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhuangsheng was a little nervous, wondering if she had heard Uncle Yan's last words.
It shouldn’t be that serious... He didn’t turn on the speakerphone and the volume of the phone itself was not very loud.

"I have washed the dishes, and I have something to show you!" Zhu Zhixue smiled and took Li Zhuangsheng's hand.
