Chapter 317 - 310: She Didn’t Talk Nonsense

“Sun Yumeng, wake up. I need to ask you something.”

Sun Yumeng remained motionless.

Tang Yuxin walked over, reached out her hand, and whisked the blanket off her.

“Sun Yumeng, get up. I know you’re not sleeping.”

“What are you doing?”

Sun Yumeng, bereft of her blanket, suddenly sat up. The area under her eyes was a grim shade of gray. Without makeup, she was unsightly to the extreme.

Where was the twenty-year-old young girl? She looked more like a middle-aged woman in her thirties. No, even women in their thirties didn’t look as old as she did.

She slathered all kinds of skincare products on her face, had learned to wear makeup at a young age, never removed her makeup even late at night, and ate junk food at random. As a result, her skin issues were now all too visible on her face.

Sun Yumeng glared at Tang Yuxin resentfully. “Tang Yuxin, don’t go too far.”

“I’m going too far?” Tang Yuxin lifted the back of her hand where a needle mark was still clearly visible. “You tell me, who’s going too far between the two of us?”

Sun Yumeng turned her face away, clearly flustered.

But at this time, Tang Yuxin wasn’t there to hold her accountable for the past. She had a question that needed to be clarified.

“Sun Yumeng, let me ask you,” Tang Yuxin put on a serious face, “How long has it been since you last had your period?”

“Which period?” Sun Yumeng had just been getting ready to lie back down, but suddenly sat up again. Her heart gave a jolt and she felt a sense of unease that she didn’t want to acknowledge.

“You know what I’m referring to?” Tang Yuxin’s gaze shifted to Sun Yumeng’s belly.

“When did you last have your menstrual period?”

“Why are you asking these things?”

Sun Yumeng suddenly shouted, but it looked more like she was trying to cover up.

“You don’t understand?” Tang Yuxin honestly felt that the girl in front of her was incredibly stupid. “Sun Yumeng, you’re a medical student, a student at a prestigious institution. Do you remember what was taught in the very first lesson when school started? We learned about the male and female anatomies, about the origins of life. Don’t tell me you still don’t know… are you pregnant?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Sun Yumeng hastily retrieved something from her bed and threw it at Tang Yuxin. “Tang Yuxin, if you continue to spread such baseless rumors, I will ruin you and make sure you can’t stay in this school.”

Tang Yuxin dodged the incoming object, which crashed onto the floor and splintered into several pieces. It wasn’t anything else but Sun Yumeng’s mirror. For a woman as vain as Sun Yumeng, a mirror was as vital as her face was, something she had to look at daily before she could eat or sleep.

Tang Yuxin crouched down and picked up the pieces of the mirror and threw them in the trash bin. She opened the door and then turned around to warn Sun Yumeng one last time.

“You’re already two months pregnant, Sun Yumeng. It’s not too late now, but if you continue like this, no one can help you.”

After that, she closed the door. It was a university student we were talking about, who was pregnant before marriage, and so ignorant. She really admired how Sun Yumeng’s parents raised their daughter.

When she was growing up, her father would remind her every day not to be alone with boys, not to allow boys to hold her hand, and to prevent them from touching her. Therefore, her father’s words were etched into her memory for the rest of her life.

No parents would harm their own children. A girl, a university student, in such a time period, if she didn’t cherish herself and preserved her purity, in the end, the one who would be destroyed would be herself.

She tossed the garbage bag into the outside trash can and then went to the dining hall. But she couldn’t find her peace, and her food didn’t taste as pleasant anymore. That’s because she didn’t know how to handle this situation. Either Sun Yumeng could abort the child secretly, and no one would know, or she could find the man responsible. But was that possible?

If a man was willing to take responsibility, he wouldn’t let a girl like this face everything alone. He’d have been over to find her by now. What’s more, they were all first-year students. What kind of a good man would lay a hand on a college student?

When she returned back, everyone had finished their meal. They didn’t have class in the afternoon and wanted to go out, but they didn’t know where to go.

“I want to buy clothes and eat delicious food.” Lin Yile raised her hands enthusiastically with her proposal.

“What about you, Yuxin?” Lin Yile asked Tang Yuxin.

“I want to go check out my apartment.” Tang Yuxin was thinking about going there and sitting for a while. Even though it didn’t have any furniture yet, she could still enjoy the peace and quiet there.

Lin Yile knew that Tang Yuxin had bought a small house with a courtyard. In the future, she was certainly going to work there because that’s where Yuxin was. So she decided to follow in Tang Yuxin’s footsteps and she was also considering asking her dad to buy her a place too. Unfortunately, Tang Yuxin bought her house when it was still on the market and now it costs a lot of money that her family couldn’t afford. So her dad was planning to buy her a small apartment during the summer vacation, preferably closer to Tang Yuxin’s place.

The others didn’t plan on going with Tang Yuxin. Tang Yuxin also had no choice. Unlike a young person, she might have a milder mentality. She didn’t really like shopping or buying things. She preferred sitting in her small courtyard, holding a book, and just sitting there all day if possible.

She would put all the things she didn’t use often here so that it won’t take up space in the dormitory; like winter clothes, shoes and such. And there was finally a place to store them now.

And when next year comes, she could move here. The future was promising.

Every day in the future, she could live amidst the chirping birds and fragrant flowers. It would be cozy and comfortable.

She sat there for about half a day and figured it was time to return. She closed her book, put on her backpack, and walked out. While waiting for the bus, out of boredom, she lifted her speckled and wounded hands. Such pitiable hands.

“What happened? Injured again?”

A hand suddenly reached out and tightly held hers. At this point, the weather was quite cold, but this hand was warm, dry. Tang Yuxin lifted her face and saw a pair of eyes as lustrous as the stars in the night sky.

“Don’t recognize me?” Qin Ziye raised his hand to poke her face, marveling at her soft skin. Perhaps this was what the ancients referred to as a complexion of ice and jade.

“Have you applied any medicine?” He tightened his grip on Tang Yuxin’s hand, feeling that her hands were becoming cold.

Tang Yuxin wanted to pull her hand back, but his grip was too tight. “Let’s go, I’ll walk you back,” Qin Ziye put her hand into his pocket, and then began walking step by step forward.

“Have you applied any medicine?” He asked her once more.
