Huo Junyu escorted Jiang Mianmian to and from school every day, and after dropping her off, he would go to the store to help out.

Su Aiqian often showed concern for him, and Jiang Youcai never forgot to pour him a drink when he was drinking.

Jiang Xiaowei worshipped him like a door god, and would occasionally learn a few moves from him.

Overall, Huo Junyu got along fairly well with this family.

However, in the past few days he has noticed that Jiang Mianmian is not paying much attention to him.

He still followed behind her on her way to and from school, but Jiang Mianmian no longer looked back before entering the school gate as usual. Moreover, the girl's dismissal time was getting later and later each time. Even after leaving the school gate, she would glance at him and immediately lower her head, walking ahead very quickly.

At home, Jiang Mianmian doesn't talk to him, and at the store, she treats him like he's invisible.

This is clearly her avoiding him.

Huo Junyu was a little confused. They were fine just two days ago, so why did he suddenly become so distant?

Does that mean all women have learned face-changing techniques?

He used to be surrounded by a swarm of admirers, with women throwing themselves at him. Now that he's the one facing cold shoulders, he's really not used to it!

Huo Junyu had little experience in this area and didn't know who to discuss it with.

What's worse, he found himself being swayed by Jiang Mianmian's attitude.

Jiang Mianmian ignored him, so he became anxious and insecure, tidying up the shelves in the store, and several times he mistook salt for sugar or soy sauce for vinegar.

Huo Junyu secretly went to a website known for its high-quality Q&A and posted a question:

"Why would a girl you've always gotten along with suddenly stop talking to you?"

About half an hour later, he received hundreds of replies.

"What else could it be but that I don't like you anymore!"

"Handsome, did you do something inappropriate that made the girl uncomfortable?"

"Maybe they've found someone new and are just keeping you as a backup option!"

Huo Junyu frowned slightly, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

A new target? A backup plan?

That brat Jiang Mianmian!

He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down, and replied to the comment about the "new goal":

How can I find out who her new target is?

A while later, the other party sent a private message with several laughing emojis.

"Hey friend, you've never been in a relationship before, have you? Tell me how far things have progressed with your crush? Can you even go into her room?"

Huo Junyu rolled his eyes and looked upstairs.

Su Aiqian forbade him from approaching Jiang Mianmian's boudoir, and he always followed the rules and never went near it.

But Jiang Mianmian doesn't have the habit of locking her room; her room door can be opened with a simple push.

Huo Junyu bit his lip and replied on his phone, "I can get into her room."

The other party wrote: "Brother, girls' rooms have a lot of secrets. Try taking a sneak peek when she's not looking; you might discover something unexpected! That's all I can do for you. Good luck!"

Huo Junyu exhaled, his eyes gradually darkening.

Do we really want to go into her room?

No one was home at the time. Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian were at the shop, Jiang Xiaowei was in class, and Jiang Mianmian was at school for an activity...

If you want to get into her room, now is the best opportunity!

Huo Junyu shook his head violently.

Reason told him that this was wrong, but his legs inexplicably went up the stairs and stood at the door of Jiang Mianmian's room.

He thought about it and realized that going in like this was indeed inappropriate. If he had an excuse, perhaps it would be more believable...

Huo Junyu immediately went downstairs to find paper and pen, pondered for a moment, and then began to scribble on the paper.

...

Jiang Mianmian returned home with a melancholy expression and a nervous heart.

She had no interest in participating in school activities; her mind was preoccupied with the calendar—it was already the 15th, and her period was almost two weeks late.

She didn't know what was going on, but just a few days ago, she overheard that a classmate in the next class had gotten pregnant because of her boyfriend and was desperately trying to get an abortion...

Jiang Mianmian shuddered, and the ambiguous night with Huo Yu flashed through her mind like lightning!

She suddenly felt weak in the knees and bought a pregnancy test... After taking the test with a heavy heart, she found that there was only one line, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.

But she did some research online and found that many people said pregnancy tests might be inaccurate on the first try...

Jiang Mianmian's tense nerves were on the verge of collapse.

So these days she treats Huo Yu like he's invisible, giving him a cold look. Firstly, she's completely lost and confused, and secondly, she really doesn't know how to face him.

Jiang Mianmian entered the room, hesitating whether to buy a few more pregnancy tests to try, when she suddenly looked up and noticed that the attic door seemed to be open!

She was startled and ran upstairs as fast as she could!

However, when she suddenly pushed open the door, she and Huo Junyu were both startled... Huo Junyu was standing in front of her desk, on which was a used pregnancy test, which she had thrown into the wastebasket after using it.

The two stared at each other silently for a long time before Jiang Mianmian finally spoke first: "What are you doing in my room?!"

Her face flushed red as she snatched the pregnancy test stick.

Now that things had come to this, Huo Junyu understood everything.

She ignored him because she suspected she was pregnant!

Huo Junyu chuckled, his deep eyes fixed on her, a complex expression flashing across them.

"So this is what you've been worried about all this time?"

"It's none of your business!" Jiang Mianmian said angrily, pushing him away.

However, Huo Junyu's physique was not easily shaken.

Jiang Mianmian pushed him a few times, but she was not only tired but also annoyed, so she stopped and stared at him with the fiercest look in her eyes.
