Chapter 349 Must
"You didn't just change these socks, did you?"

Li Zhuangsheng looked down and saw that Li Xiuyu was wearing new socks on his feet. He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Look what time it is?"

Li Xiuyu frowned.

Li Zhuangsheng was slightly startled and quickly picked up his phone. It was already half past ten in the morning.

"Isn't it only half past ten?" Li Zhuangsheng put down his phone speechlessly, and his words were somewhat lacking in confidence. "Didn't you say you would go out after lunch?"

Although he had slept for quite a long time, he was too tense during this period and wanted to sleep a little longer.

"Yes, I have prepared dinner, you should get up and eat quickly!" said Li Xiuyu.

"What?" Li Zhuangsheng was surprised. "You cook?"

Li Xiuyu turned away, looking impatient: "Why? Is it not possible? You sleep like a dead pig, so I have to cook! But I didn't do anything, just cooked some instant noodles!"

Li Zhuangsheng stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'd like to try the instant noodles you cooked!"

After quickly washing up, Li Zhuangsheng walked to the dining room. Instant noodles had already been served in a bowl, with slices of ham of varying thicknesses inside.

"You also added ham?" Li Zhuangsheng asked in surprise.

"Eat yours and stop talking nonsense!" Li Xiuyu blushed and kicked Li Zhuangsheng.

She felt very shy. This was her first time cooking. Although whether cooking instant noodles could be considered cooking was still debatable...but she also felt that her level was far from that of Li Zhuangsheng, and even far behind that of Zhu Zhixue yesterday.

"It tastes good, not too salty or bland, very good!" Li Zhuangsheng took a bite and praised with a smile.

"I learned from you. I only put in half of the seasoning packet." Li Xiu Yu said awkwardly.

"Seeing that you can cook, I feel relieved!" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile, "Even if I become paralyzed and unable to move in bed one day, I can rest assured that you will take care of me."

"Why do you need me to take care of you? Don't you have a partner?" Li Xiuyu raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"How can a guy be as close to me as my sister?" Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile and a wink.

Although this was just a joke, seriously speaking, if he really encountered such an extreme situation, the only person Li Zhuangsheng would trust would probably be Li Xiu Yu, not Zhu Zhixue.

He believed that Zhu Zhixue would die for him, but dying only requires a moment of courage, and taking care of a paralyzed person with incontinence for years is much more difficult than that.

From a rational point of view, Li Zhuangsheng only believed that Li Xiuyu could do it 100%, but others might not. Of course, even if Zhu Zhixue or others could do the same, Li Zhuangsheng would not choose to delay her, which would be an unspeakable pain and shackle for others.

Li Xiuyu's eyebrows twitched, and she suddenly couldn't help thinking that if Li Zhuangsheng really collapsed on the bed, it seemed to be an acceptable result. At least, he wouldn't go out to attract bees and butterflies... He would only belong to her.

“By the way, I called one more friend to go hiking today,” said Li Xiu Yu.

"Who?" Li Zhuangsheng was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky in silence, "You are not going to call Hu Mengdie again, are you?"

"What are you thinking? I told you that you wanted to avoid suspicion, why should I call Hu Mengdie?"

Li Xiuyu looked displeased, as if she was unhappy with Li Zhuangsheng's misunderstanding of her.

Li Zhuangsheng tilted his head. Seeing that Li Xiuyu did not look like he was lying, he felt a little ashamed. "Oh, I misunderstood you! I was telling you, how could you be that kind of person? I was judging you by my own standards..."

Li Xiuyu snorted and lowered his head to eat noodles.

After finishing his meal, Li Zhuangsheng was clearing the dishes when he saw some burnt food in the trash can. It seemed that Li Xiuyu had tried to cook a proper meal before but failed.

He pretended not to see it. At this moment, his cell phone rang and the caller was Zhu Zhixue.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Li Zhuangsheng answered the phone.

"Have you guys gone out yet?"

"Not yet, I think it's still early?" Zhu Zhixue said hesitantly, "Yeah, I invited another friend today."

Li Zhuangsheng didn't care and said casually: "It's okay, is it Zeng Chen?"

"Not her, the other one."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who it is. Xiu Yu has invited many friends here."

"Yeah, okay, it's okay, let's play together!"

Li Zhuangsheng hung up the phone and didn't take the matter to heart. He washed the pots and dishes and went out to prepare some supplies.

"By the way, the temperature in the mountains is still relatively low, definitely cooler than Duliang Park. Tell your friends to wear thicker clothes."

Li Zhuangsheng reminded Li Xiuyu verbally, and sent a reminder text message to Zhu Zhixue via his mobile phone. Finally, he packed the purchased supplies into his bag.

"What did you buy?" Li Xiuyu curiously poked his head out. It was some iodine bandages and gauze. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy these things? It's not a high mountain to climb the First Mountain."

"Just in case, it's not serious anyway." Li Zhuangsheng smiled, "Have you told your friends to keep warm? It's quite cold in the mountains."

When I was climbing a mountain with Li Xiuyu in college, the other person sprained his ankle and it was swollen for two weeks before he slowly recovered. If he had been prepared at the time, the swelling would not have lasted so long.

"I'm telling you, you have so much to do!" Li Xiuyu tapped on his phone.

Li Zhuangsheng nodded, but just in case, he folded a coat and put it in his schoolbag.

……

The brother and sister took a taxi to the First Mountain. Four other people had already arrived. One of them waved to Li Zhuangsheng from a distance.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, slightly dispelling the chill of spring. Li Zhuangsheng squinted his eyes. Although he couldn't see clearly, he knew without recognition that it was Zhu Zhixue who waved at him.

He greeted her with a smile, and suddenly saw another familiar figure in the crowd. The other person was smiling and talking, like a peach blossom just blooming.

"Didn't you say that you didn't call Hu Mengdie?" Li Zhuangsheng's face changed, and there was some annoyance in his tone.

"I didn't shout!" Li Xiuyu's face changed, and he looked very innocent. "I swear it has nothing to do with me this time!"

"Then why is she here?"

"You ask me who I'm asking!"

"Here I am!" Zhu Zhixue walked up to Li Zhuangsheng with a smile and took his hand.

"What's going on with Hu Mengdie?" Li Zhuangsheng asked in a low voice.

Zhu Zhixue turned her face away slightly: "I asked her to come. Didn't I tell her to call another friend?"

Li Zhuangsheng was shocked: "You asked her to come? Why did you ask her to come? When did your relationship become so good?"

"What? You don't welcome me?" Hu Mengdie walked over with a smile, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"no no……"

Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand hastily, but Hu Mengdie didn't care at all and went straight to greet Li Xiuyu with a somewhat reproachful tone:
"Xiu Yu, you guys came out to play and you didn't invite me!"

"I wanted to call you, but Li Zhuangsheng wouldn't let me."

Li Xiuyu sold Li Zhuangsheng without hesitation.

Li Zhuangsheng looked even more embarrassed. He pulled Zhu Zhixue aside, puzzled: "Why did you call Hu Mengdie?"
