Chapter 69 Private Teaching
Hu Mengdie felt like she was going crazy. Men and women should not touch each other!

Weren't you very reserved when you were dating me? You were so cautious when you wanted to hold hands with me. Why are you so casual now?

Don’t you know that she is interested in you... This idiot may not know!
But seeing her husband sharing an umbrella with another woman, Hu Mengdie felt as if countless ants were gnawing at her heart, and she wished she could pull the two of them apart immediately!

He is my man, can you stay away from him?

"You guys... don't have to get so close, right?"

The smile on Hu Mengdie's face had already frozen, and she felt both wronged and angry. She wanted to get angry, but she knew very well that she had no right to get angry at the moment.

"Are you close enough?" Zhu Zhixue supported Li Zhuangsheng's shoulders with both hands, looking innocent, "My umbrella is too small, there's nothing I can do!"

Li Zhuangsheng felt unhappy. It was indeed inappropriate to share an umbrella with a girl, but when he thought about it carefully, it was a very normal thing... But if he did it in front of his ex-wife, it would not look good.

No, we are fine now, we are just strangers. Besides, it's just borrowing an umbrella, why feel guilty!
But even if he was just an ex, getting so close to another member of the opposite sex in front of her... isn't that inappropriate?
Li Zhuangsheng was confused and irritated. He glanced at Hu Mengdie's expression and saw that her eyes were red.

"Forget it, this is too slow." Li Zhuangsheng walked out of the umbrella quickly and grinned at Zhu Zhixue, "The rain is not heavy, I'll go back to the classroom first!"

After saying this, without waiting for Zhu Zhixue to speak, he accelerated and sprinted away, disappearing in the hazy rain.

……

"Why were you running just now?"

After returning to the classroom, Zhu Zhixue casually returned the umbrella to Li Zhuangsheng with an unhappy tone.

"The two of them walked too slowly," Li Zhuangsheng explained.

"Really?" Zhu Zhixue looked unconvinced and stared at Li Zhuangsheng, "You don't look very happy."

Li Zhuangsheng forced a smile: "What's not good about it?"

Zhu Zhixue suddenly lowered her voice and stared at him: "Do you like Hu Mengdie?"

"...I don't like it!" Li Zhuangsheng was slightly surprised and then shook his head.

"You really like her?"

However, Zhu Zhixue pretended not to hear Li Zhuangsheng's answer. She stood in front of Li Zhuangsheng's desk, staring at him straight, not letting him avoid her gaze.

Li Zhuangsheng had no way to retreat, and he felt a little depressed under Zhu Zhixue's condescending questioning.

He clenched his fists without knowing when, but lowered his head and slowly changed his words: "I don't know...but, there is no possibility for her and me."

He could tell anyone that he didn't like Hu Mengdie, including himself.

But he could not forget his first hand holding, first kiss, first hug, first time doing AI...

He and Hu Mengdie watched the fireworks of the Lantern Festival, admired the sunrise in the morning, and looked up at the starry sky in the countryside. They rode on the small roads in the villages, had fun in the amusement parks in the city, embraced each other warmly at the wedding, and made a solemn promise to be together forever in front of all the guests.

Hu Mengdie was his first love, his first wife, his first and only woman, and the sweetest and most unforgettable part of his life!

Even though he has given up on Hu Mengdie, even though he can no longer be with Hu Mengdie, but everything that happened between them in the past, that relationship, how can he pretend it doesn't exist!
It’s so hateful, I was fine, I was super happy, why did you ruin my good mood again!

What do you want? Why are you looking for me after you've been reborn? There are so many good men in the world, can't you just find someone better than me?
And Zhu Zhixue, why are you asking so many questions? Is there any point in being so aggressive? What does it have to do with you whether I like Hu Mengdie or not!
"Impossible? That may not be the case. I think she seems to be quite interested in you!" Zhu Zhixue snorted.

"There is really no possibility for her and me. It has nothing to do with her. I just don't want to!" Li Zhuangsheng said word by word. He recalled the video, Hu Mengke's "heart-piercing words", and all the things in the past... He was already very impatient, but he forced himself to suppress his anxious mood, exhaled deeply, and was unwilling to vent his negative energy on others.

"Really?" Zhu Zhixue saw that Li Zhuangsheng's face was getting uglier and uglier, and instinctively wanted to keep quiet, but in the end she couldn't help but say more, "Let me tell you, Hu Mengdie is so popular with men, why would she like you? She must just want to have fun with you, don't get too involved! Of course, I don't mean anything else, and I'm not saying anything bad about her, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not!"

"Okay, I understand." Li Zhuangsheng forced a smile, "I'm going to study."

"it is good……"

Zhu Zhixue turned away angrily, but returned halfway, reached out and rubbed Li Zhuangsheng's face, pulled up the corners of his mouth, and pouted slightly: "Okay, don't be angry!"

"I am not angry."

"I'm not angry yet!" Zhu Zhixue took out a body-warm Alps lollipop from her pocket, tore open the package, and forced it into Li Zhuangsheng's mouth, "You're not allowed to be angry after eating this!"

At this time, Lin Yuehua, who sat at the same table, finally reminded Zhu Zhixue coldly: "It's lunchtime self-study now, can you go back now?"

"Tsk, got it..."

Zhu Zhixue didn't dare to disobey. She muttered twice and returned to her seat.

"Do you like Hu Mengdie?" Lin Yuehua asked softly.

"Why do you ask that..." Li Zhuangsheng, with a lollipop in his mouth, let out a helpless laugh.

"It's your business who you like, don't let it affect your studies," said Lin Yuehua.

"Don't worry about that. I have no feelings or love now. I only have learning in my mind!" Li Zhuangsheng used his pen as a blade and said solemnly, "Women will only slow down my speed of drawing the sword!"

Lin Yuehua tilted her neck, turned her head to look at Zhu Zhixue in the distance, and looked at Li Zhuangsheng with an inexplicable look, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "You... idiot."

"Ah, what's wrong with me?" Li Zhuangsheng pretended to be angry, "Explain it to me clearly, can the squad leader just curse people at will?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Have you finished your English homework? It needs to be handed in before class this afternoon."

……

"Hu Mengdie, I'm returning your umbrella to you." said a classmate.

"okay."

Hu Mengdie smiled, then lay down on the table and buried her face in her arms.

She was full of grievances and could only tell herself that it was okay, that they had never dated, and that gangsters like Zhu Zhixue were not his type... But she was still unwilling to accept it. Seeing her husband being so close to another woman, she couldn't even say a word of objection.

At least he had some conscience and knew to run away halfway... Well, why did he run away halfway?

Hu Mengdie sensed something was wrong.

Given his personality, he should feel too shy to share an umbrella with a girl... Is that really the case?

Hu Mengdie pursed her lips and suddenly thought: Could it be that he is back too?
"It should...not be the case..."

Hu Mengdie murmured. She didn't want to believe that the other party would avoid her like this, but she glanced at the rain outside the window and subconsciously covered her chest, feeling a little uneasy.
