Chapter 393 Butterfly Binding (4)

Qi Haoyu's appearance was beyond Hu Mengdie's expectations, although she was not surprised. She had not given Qi Haoyu any good looks since she crossed over. On the one hand, it was a true expression of her feelings, and on the other hand, she naturally did not want Li Zhuangsheng to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she had always kept her distance to the greatest extent possible.

Hu Mengdie had long since let go of her grudge against Qi Haoyu. Before that snowy night, she only occasionally regretted why she had not been able to be with Li Zhuangsheng earlier.

Although she once hated Qi Haoyu, because at that time she was full of world-weariness and secretly hated everything in her heart.

When she came home from a trip, she thought she was suffering from depression, but she didn't go to the hospital for diagnosis. It would be useless even if she got a diagnosis, because she knew her parents would neither sympathize with her nor take it to heart. They would only think that she had brought her depression upon herself.

But after dating Li Zhuangsheng, the negative emotions became less and less. She looked forward to every day in the future, when everything about Qi Haoyu was deleted from her mind. Occasionally, she would think of him, but it was fleeting, without joy or sadness.

She had long understood that her resentment towards Qi Haoyu was self-righteous from the beginning. She was angry that Qi Haoyu was not what she imagined, but Qi Haoyu was not what she imagined, that was just her wishful thinking.

It was the winter break of her second year in high school. She had a conflict with her father and went back to her room in a rage and locked the door. Her father was furious and ordered her to open the door, but she pretended not to hear him. As a result, her father turned into the kitchen and chopped the door lock with a knife.

Bang, bang, bang...

One knife, two knifes, three knifes... Every knife made the bedroom tremble, and every knife would cut into Hu Mengdie's heart.

She finally succumbed to fear and opened the door. Her father, holding a kitchen knife, finally let out a smug sneer.

She checked the door and found that the door handle had been chopped off. She felt cold all over and could not imagine what would happen if she did not open the door.

Afterwards, perhaps out of rebellion against her parents, or perhaps out of repeated fear, she increasingly longed for someone who could protect her, someone who could give her courage.

There were many boys pursuing her, but Qi Haoyu was the one who had been with her the longest and had the best appearance. She had a crush on him, but she had not taken it seriously because of her strict family education.

But not long after school started, she finally agreed to Qi Haoyu's pursuit. She felt that this was revenge against her father and a small manifestation of her "independence".

But... Qi Haoyu was not the person she expected.

Back then, she stubbornly and solemnly promised in front of her parents that she would be with Qi Haoyu forever, but later on, it became an inescapable bondage.

So of course she hated Qi Haoyu back then, but she understood that she didn't hate Qi Haoyu himself, but was angry at herself because she chose the path herself, and she made the wrong choice.

But she later found Li Zhuangsheng. If it weren't for Qi Haoyu, she would not have returned to her hometown like this after graduation, and she would not have met Li Zhuangsheng, ushering in the biggest rebound in her life.

People are always generous when they are happy. When she hugged Li Zhuangsheng, she forgave the whole world. Even when Qi Haoyu later contacted Hu Mengdie again through Hu Mengke, she was just annoyed by this behavior and just told him to get out.

But after her rebirth, she was repeatedly frustrated by Li Zhuangsheng, and new and old hatreds came to her mind. Facing this culprit who "ruined" her life, Hu Mengdie naturally hated him and hated him to the extreme. If she was not worried that Li Zhuangsheng would mind, she would definitely take revenge on him. But she also understood that any connection with her ex would make the barrier between her and Li Zhuangsheng thicker.

When Qi Haoyu came to her house and threatened to cause trouble for Li Zhuangsheng, Hu Mengdie suddenly felt a little happy after being angry. She suddenly realized that this was an opportunity.

Perhaps because things with Li Zhuangsheng had been going too smoothly recently, the two gradually got used to flirting in the empty art classroom. Hu Mengdie optimistically believed that this was a help to her.

So she warned Qi Haoyu sternly on the surface not to act rashly, but as she expected, her protection of Li Zhuangsheng would undoubtedly only add fuel to the fire.

Looking at the other person's back as he left angrily, Hu Mengdie once again smiled, indicating that "the advantage is mine".

The child is really stupid, she thought. If Li Zhuangsheng could realize this, he would definitely not take him seriously anymore. Who would regard a person of a different level as an opponent?

More importantly, as long as she keeps an eye on the other party's movements, she will appear when Li Zhuangsheng is in trouble and perform a reverse "hero rescue" in front of outsiders... This will not only allow Li Zhuangsheng to get back his face, but also let him vent his anger!
Everything started with that video at the class reunion. That time, Li Zhuangsheng lost a lot of face. Of course, she knew that what Li Zhuangsheng really cared about was not that, but this was also an opportunity. If she threw herself firmly into his arms in front of Li Zhuangsheng, she might be able to untie the initial knot in her heart. Even if it couldn't be untied, it would at least make him secretly happy.

That's what she thought, and that's what she did.

Because Li Zhuangsheng was so sensitive, she specifically reminded him to be on guard, otherwise he would easily think that it was her, Hu Mengdie, who ordered it.

At the school sports meeting the next day, Hu Mengdie secretly stared at Li Zhuangsheng. The sports meeting was the most chaotic time, and if Qi Haoyu wanted to take action, that would be the best opportunity.

Everything was as she expected. She stood in front of Li Zhuangsheng and slapped him mercilessly. She was not worried that the thugs would fight back if they got angry. She even hoped that they would do so. The punches and kicks they hit her would only become a progress bar for her and Li Zhuangsheng to achieve a happy ending.

As she thought, she protected Li Zhuangsheng and successfully made Qi Haoyu a pitiful clown in front of friends and enemies. But she expected the beginning, but not the end.

It turned out that what she thought was just what she thought. She was self-righteous again, and she still didn't understand Li Zhuangsheng. For so many days, all the flirting was like a tower made of fine sand, which was blown away by the wind.

The bond between her and Li Zhuangsheng turned out to be so fragile. Even though Qi Haoyu became a clown, Li Zhuangsheng immediately came to his senses.

Qi Haoyu is not important, what she did is not important. What happened is important, what Li Zhuangsheng wants is the first love of his youth.

The future Hu Mengdie is not good, and it has nothing to do with Qi Haoyu. In fact, she should have understood it long ago, but she couldn't give it to him, so she could only pretend to be confused secretly.

Still in that classroom, Li Zhuangsheng's voice was very calm, no longer as excited as in previous times, as if he was explaining a cold but absolutely correct formula or theorem.
