Lin Wanwan lay on the bed with her eyes closed and said lazily, "I understand what you're saying. I'm afraid that if I slack off, I'll fall behind. I still have my own ideals to fulfill. I'm also pregnant. If I have to take leave to give birth, I'll miss my classes again. I don't want to let my efforts go to waste."

"Wanwan, are you in the dorm?!" Song Lanzhi waited for Lin Wanwan at the school gate for half an hour but didn't see her, so she had to come into the dorm to look for her.

Lin Wanwan opened her eyes with a start. "Oh no, I forgot to tell my mom I was supposed to pick up my food at the school gate today."

Zheng Yan hurriedly went to open the door, "Auntie, come in quickly."

"Mom, I'm so sorry, I was so busy I forgot. It's so hot, did you come in by yourself or did Uncle Li bring you in?"

"Uncle Li brought me in. Get up and have some soup."

"Mom, thank you," Lin Wanwan said, sitting in a chair and hugging Song Lanzhi's waist.

Song Lanzhi reached out and tidied her messy hair. "No need to thank me, Mom didn't do anything." She then turned to Zheng Yan and called out, "Yan Yan, come and have some soup and eat some rice with us."

"Thank you, Auntie. I always get free meals from you, I feel embarrassed."

"Why are you being so polite? Come on over," Song Lanzhi beckoned to her.

"Mom, it's getting hot now, don't get too hot. Have you eaten yet?"

"Don't worry, I ate before I came. Why do I feel like you've lost weight again?" Song Lanzhi kept looking her over.

Just as Zheng Yan was about to agree, Lin Wanwan interrupted, "No, it's probably because my belly is big that I look thinner."

Song Lanzhi touched her belly, "It's gotten a bit bigger, can you feel the baby moving?"

Lin Wanwan nodded, "Yes, sometimes he kicks me in the middle of class. Mom, do you want to know if it's a boy or a girl? Do you prefer a grandson or a granddaughter?"

“I like them all, as long as it’s your and Lu Feng’s child, I like them all, regardless of gender. We don’t do that kind of thing. But I do hope it’s a daughter. I have two sons, but no daughter, which is a bit of a pity.”

Lin Wanwan hugged her arm and said, "Mom, you're so kind! All those people prefer sons and grandsons, don't you really care?"

Song Lanzhi smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "Your son is not as considerate as yours. I hope you will have a considerate child too, whether it is a boy or a girl. I will love her dearly."

"Mommy~"

"Alright, alright, stop whining and eat your food, it's getting cold."

After seeing Song Lanzhi off, Lin Wanwan sighed.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

"Luckily, my mom doesn't discriminate against girls; I was just afraid she would care about that."

Zheng Yan thought she was worried about something, "Hey, Auntie isn't that kind of person, can't you tell?"

“I know, but I’m afraid she still has some traditional ideas.”

"Are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry, oh, I'm so tired."

There was a knock on the door. "Lin Wanwan, you have a phone call."

Lin Wanwan called out towards the door, "Okay, thank you."

I took the money to the dormitory management office. "Hello?"

"Wanwan, it's me," Cheng Jinyan's deep voice, with a slight upward inflection, came through the telephone receiver.

"Brother Jinyan? You seem to be in a good mood?"

Cheng Jinyan smiled. "You can tell I'm in a good mood just by listening to my voice?"

"Pretty much, I'm incredibly smart."

"Don't you have classes in the evening or afternoon?"

"Yeah, I don't have any classes. What's up?"

"Would you like to go see foals in the outskirts of Beijing?"

"This afternoon? Can it be May Day? What can I see in an afternoon? I just got here and I have to go back to school," Lin Wanwan said softly, without even realizing it herself.

“Okay, then it’s May Day,” Cheng Jinyan was in a really good mood, with a smile on his face. The people who came to his office to find him were all stunned.

"Okay, you're not busy this afternoon?" Lin Wanwan asked, her eyes darting around.

"Not busy, is there something you need?"

"Something really has happened, help! I'm exhausted and I really need your advice and guidance."

"I'll pick you up this afternoon. Do you like cake?"

"like!!"

"Then I'll take you out for a meal this afternoon, and I'll listen to your troubles while I'm at it."

The two hung up the phone after agreeing on the terms. Lin Wanwan paid the bill and was about to leave when she turned around and almost bumped into someone.

"You better keep an eye on things, or you'll fall down and blame someone else. I wonder which guy you're flirting with this time, chatting so happily."

Lin Wanwan felt that she and Zhou Mei really couldn't get along.

"Stop talking about seducing men all the time. Just because you're filthy doesn't mean everyone else is. If you have a foul mouth, brush your teeth more often. Stop coming out here and stinking people up. It's disgusting. You're always spewing filth from your mouth. Why don't you do something productive? Go to the countryside and farm. You'd be better off saving money on fertilizer. Just stand by the field all day and curse people in a sarcastic way."

The people around waiting to make the call burst out laughing.

Zhou Mei was furious. Every time she faced Lin Wanwan, she never got the better end of the deal. "You..."

"I...I...what do you mean 'I'? Stop staring at me all the time. I'm not some big star. Just be yourself," Lin Wanwan said and left, not giving her a chance to retaliate.

When the appointed time arrived, Lin Wanwan grabbed her things and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Zheng Yan asked as she watched her pack her things.

Lin Wanwan slapped her forehead, "I forgot to tell you, I'm going out for a bit, do you want to come with me?"

Where are we going?

“Brother Jinyan just called me and I asked him for help. I urgently need someone to give me advice and opinions. Let’s go get some cakes. Do you want to come? We know each other anyway.”

"Is it not a good idea for me to go?" Zheng Yan hesitated.

"There's nothing wrong with it, we all know each other, and Brother Jinyan isn't a petty person."

Zheng Yan ultimately didn't go with them, so Lin Wanwan could only say she would bring her some food when she returned.

As soon as she came downstairs, she saw that Cheng Jinyan had arrived in a car, and Lin Wanwan was speechless for a moment.

"Can you guys please stop being so high-profile? You're just putting yourself in the spotlight again."

Cheng Jinyan opened the car door for her. "It was my fault. I'll wait for you at the school gate next time. I was just worried you'd be too hot. You're a priority for protection."

Lin Wanwan got into the car and said irritably, "How are you going to protect me? Hire dozens of bodyguards to follow me? Not let me get out of bed? Carry me to the classroom? And then carry me back to the dorm?"

"Hahahaha, that's not necessary," Cheng Jinyan laughed uncontrollably at her expression.

"Hey, hey, how come you're so rich? Where did you get this car? You're a tycoon, my brother."

Cheng Jinyan was amused by her strange behavior. "Doesn't Lu Feng's family also have a car?"

"Lu Feng said it was government compensation for their family, is yours too?"

"Not entirely, but pretty much."

Lin Wanwan understood and nodded, saying, "That's pretty impressive, bro. Can I get a hold of your leg?"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, hug me however you like."
