A little over a month later, school started.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't go home during the holiday; she stayed with Professor Yang and learned a lot of knowledge, all related to traditional Chinese medicine.

On the first day of school, she felt perfectly filled with knowledge, as if she had been elevated to a higher level.

Xue Nan arrived at noon.

Xu Murou dropped out of school. Her parents found her a less prestigious school, so she could continue her studies.

Reincarnation is a skill; some people commit countless evil deeds yet remain glamorous and successful.

Xue Nan looked much more haggard, and she wasn't wearing makeup anymore. She came in with a bare face, which was completely different from how she used to put on makeup even when throwing out the trash.

Upon seeing Fan Xiaoxiao and Ruan Jiaojiao, she forced a smile and said, "Happy new semester!"

"..."

No one paid any attention to her, so she gave an awkward laugh and went to pack her things.

Xue Nan and Xu Murou are no longer seen. I wonder if the two still call each other sisters?

However, it was the Xu family's driver who brought Xue Nan here, so it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Xu treat her well.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't care about that. She was very busy lately, busy with medical appointments and studying.

She had finished all her university courses, and with Professor Yang's approval, she was no longer required to attend classes. Fan Xiaoxiao, however, still had to endure the hardship of attending classes, and the two of them had less time together.

One night, Ruan Jiaojiao got home a little late. Fan Xiaoxiao was already asleep, but the bathroom light was still on, and Xue Nan was vomiting inside.

Ruan Jiaojiao walked over, frowned, and said, "You're pregnant."

"..." Xue Nan was startled and asked, "How did you know?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao had a good memory and knew from the bathroom wastebasket that Xue Nan hadn't had her period this month. Meanwhile, the woman started experiencing strong morning sickness in her seventh week of pregnancy.

Before Ruan Jiaojiao could answer, Xue Nan clutched her stomach and took a step back, saying, "This child belongs to Brother Zhixu, he's your own nephew, you can't harm him!"

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't say anything and left.

Xue Nan is guilty, but the child is innocent.

She knew Xue Nan wouldn't give up so easily; she never expected him to be waiting for Ruan Zhixu here.

She should admit her mistake first. After all, her family background and status are not as good as Xu Murou's. If she really managed to get Ruan Zhixu to marry her just because she slept with him once, not to mention whether Ruan Zhixu would be happy or not, his parents would not let her off the hook.

It's better to retreat in order to advance!

This way, not only will the Xu family be less vigilant towards her, but they will also feel guilty and offer her some compensation.

Things are different now. She's pregnant with Ruan Zhixu's child, and the country doesn't allow abortions in private. Small clinics in places like Kyoto don't dare to give her one either.

Even if Ruan Zhixu, that man who values ​​loyalty and affection, doesn't have any feelings for her, he will still take responsibility for the child in her womb.

This time, Xue Nan was completely overwhelmed by the victory.

Sure enough, two days later, Ruan Zhixu took leave from the army.

Ruan Jiaojiao had just left her mentor's house when she ran into Ruan Zhixu.

Unlike their chance encounter at the library last time, when Ruan Zhixu was sunny and upright, this time he looked exhausted, and his once firm and proud back was hunched over.

"Jiaojiao, it's been a long time."

But when she saw her cousin, Ruan Zhixu still managed a smile.

“Brother.” Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

"How about we go to the teahouse next door and have a meal there?"

"good."

Ruan Jiaojiao followed Ruan Zhixu to the teahouse next door.

Smelling the faint scent of disinfectant on Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Zhixu couldn't help but say, "The little girl who used to play house with her brother has grown up and become an excellent doctor."
