Chapter 302 Children
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Li Zhuangsheng felt a little more relaxed.

After waking up, he washed his face and prepared to go to school for evening self-study.

He had been carrying Li Xiuyu to school on his scooter recently, but since today was a half-day weekend, he left the scooter to Li Xiuyu. Zhu Zhixue usually lived in the school dormitory and only went home on weekends or during the monthly vacation.

"Let's take a taxi." The two walked to the gate of the community.

"Why waste that money? It's the same just walking to school. There's enough time." Zhu Zhixue held Li Zhuangsheng's hand.

"What? Aren't you afraid of being seen by teachers you know?" Li Zhuangsheng teased with a smile.

"If you find out, then you find out..." Zhu Zhixue was tough on the surface, but softened after a moment, "Just let go when you see Teacher Fan. We just held hands, we didn't do anything."

While chatting and laughing, Li Zhuangsheng saw a familiar figure on the road. The person's hair was wet, but it didn't seem to be water. The hair was stuck together by the liquid and looked very embarrassed.

Li Zhuangsheng looked at her, and she seemed to sense something, and looked up at him, with a glimmer in her eyes. But a moment later, she noticed Zhu Zhixue beside him, so she lowered her head, pretending nothing had happened, and quickly walked away.

"That person...is Hu Mengdie's sister?" Zhu Zhixue asked softly.

"Yes, it's her. I have helped her with her writing." Li Zhuangsheng said, "She is in the sixth grade and will be promoted to junior high school this semester. Do you know her too?"

"I've seen her once before. Hu Mengdie is also in this neighborhood. What's that in her hair?"

"I don't know." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head calmly.

Although he had guessed it, this was Hu Mengke's personal privacy and he couldn't tell anyone else about it.

"I heard that she was starring in a TV series. My classmates are talking about it. What's the name of it..."

"I forgot too, but it seems like he's just a minor villain."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about her. She has nothing to do with us."

But your expression just now didn't say that. How could you really want to leave it alone? You are such a gentle and kind person, you must care a lot. It's just that in front of me, you don't want to be involved with Hu Mengdie.

Zhu Zhixue silently held Li Zhuangsheng's hand tightly, with an indescribable feeling.

After walking for more than half an hour, the sky darkened and the outline of the school appeared faintly in front of us.

"Did you dream about anything this afternoon?" Zhu Zhixue suddenly asked.

"No, what's wrong?" Li Zhuangsheng said.

"I saw you... I felt so sad when you were sleeping." Zhu Zhixue gently touched Li Zhuangsheng's hand, "I don't know what you were talking about in your sleep, it felt like I was drowning when I saw you."

"Ah?" Li Zhuangsheng was surprised. "I don't know. Maybe I had a nightmare, but I don't remember it. Dreams are always like this. I forget everything as soon as I wake up."

"But if I let you touch it, you don't seem to feel so bad."

"I feel like you're defiling my innocence. You're saying this like a pervert who can't stand me if I don't touch him."

"Hey, if you like touching me, I can let you touch me every day."

"You're obviously blushing yourself, why do you have to say it out loud?"

Zhu Zhixue smiled and murmured, "Because I love you, I want to do everything for you!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said, "Yeah, I love you too."

As the school got closer, more and more students in school uniforms were seen on the road. Zhu Zhixue naturally let go of Li Zhuangsheng's hand. The cold street lights on both sides of the road swayed in the cold wind. "Does being with me make you feel miserable? If we weren't together, would you feel better?"

At the school gate, Zhu Zhixue suddenly spoke.

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned, and his heart seemed to slow down. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Zhixue's face. She lowered her head slightly, but her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. Her hands were twisted together, and her legs seemed to be shaking.

"What are you talking about? I will only feel miserable if I can't make you happy."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled and kissed Zhu Zhixue on the face in front of his classmates.

Zhu Zhixue blushed: "What are you...doing? People are watching us!"

"Let's go back to class." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

"If you have any worries, please tell me," Zhu Zhixue said softly.

"I'm really fine."

I am just a self-righteous idiot who suffers for others. It is just pure suffering, without the ability to change anything. I am just like a hypocrite who pretends to be so good that he even deceives himself.

Li Zhuangsheng looked at the teaching building that was half hidden in the darkness, like a monster with its mouth wide open.

……

"I saw Hu Mengdie's sister this afternoon." After the evening self-study get out of class, Li Zhuangsheng said to Li Xiuyu while pushing the cart.

"Hu Mengke?" Li Xiuyu was curious, "How do you know her?"

"Didn't she act in that TV series? You can recognize her at a glance." Li Zhuangsheng knew that it would be difficult for him to deceive Li Xiuyu, so he pretended to push the cart to avoid Li Xiuyu's gaze. "I saw that she seemed to be bullied by her classmates. You can tell Hu Mengdie."

"She was bullied by her classmates? Didn't she become a big star?" Li Xiuyu sat in the back seat.

"What big star? He just played a minor villain in a few episodes." Li Zhuangsheng frowned. "It's for children. But I heard that some children are easily isolated by their classmates after performing in a play. You'd better tell Hu Mengdie."

"Okay..." Li Xiuyu agreed at first, then suddenly changed the subject, "Why don't you go and tell Hu Mengdie yourself? I don't know what happened, and I didn't see anything."

"Stop it, I have nothing to talk about with her. It's so embarrassing." Li Zhuangsheng turned the accelerator.

……

Hu Mengke sat on the sofa, feeling depressed.

It has been several days since the start of school, and the "big star" treatment she imagined in the class has not come true. Instead, her classmates have become more distant from her. She has recently heard all kinds of rumors about herself, and some boys even asked her some dirty words. Even her former good friends rarely talk to her... Today, they even had a fight when they went out to play. They cursed her with particularly dirty words and splashed juice on her face.

She felt very upset and didn't want to go to school, but tomorrow was Monday.

She thought of Li Zhuangsheng's words. It was amazing that he had guessed this. He was indeed a writer. He was amazing.

I remember he said that if you encounter such a thing, you must let your family know.

But... I am unwilling, embarrassed, and dare not say it.

She held her breath in her heart, and returned to school with high spirits before the new semester started, full of anticipation. She felt that she was finally better than her sister, and that she would definitely surpass her sister, and that she would be envied by everyone... The arrogance and complacency at that time seemed to be still vivid in her mind.
