Chapter 203 Pregnancy Scandal
Song Man was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "How could that be? I'm not good-looking, and I have a quiet personality. Who would like someone like me?"
Jiang Zhizhi disagreed: "How could she not be beautiful? You don't know that when I came out of the house and saw you walking over, all I could think was, how can Sister Song Man be so beautiful? Gentle and intellectual beauty."
Song Man smiled, not believing that Jiang Zhizhi was being sincere, but merely trying to make her happy.
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "Sister Song Man, can you accept a partner who is five or six years younger than you?"
Song Man was taken aback and immediately shook her head: "That's definitely not going to work. Being so much younger would make me a laughingstock. Besides, I can't accept it. In my eyes, people who are five or six years younger than me are still children."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "But Zhou Xiye is nine years older than me, and no one has laughed at him."
Song Man smiled and said, "It's different. People can accept that the man is older than the woman by a certain amount. But if the woman is older than the man, no one can accept it. Some people even think that it's a skill for a man to marry a younger wife. There's an uncle in the neighborhood who's over fifty and divorced his wife who's in her twenties."
"But the reverse won't work; people will laugh at you and talk behind your back."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't expect Song Man to react so strongly, it seems that she is very opposed to relationships between older women and younger men.
I silently sympathized with Li Simin; the path of unrequited love is destined to be difficult.
Upon arriving at Glasses Lake, Li Yuanchao and the others had already strapped on their ice skates and were gliding freely on the lake.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi and the others coming over, they greeted them warmly.
Shang Xingzhou, carrying the ice skates Zhou Xiye had made for him, happily rushed over, tied the skates on, and quickly blended into the crowd.
Jiang Zhizhi wasn't very interested in ice skating, and because she was off work today, and she and Zhou Xiye had stayed up too late last night researching human anatomy, she was still feeling a bit unwell. So she stood by the lake with Song Man and watched them ice skate.
Li Simin didn't go either; for him, ice skating is an extreme sport.
He stood somewhat nervously beside Song Man.
Song Man turned around and looked at Li Simin, who was more than a head taller than her, and said in surprise, "When did you grow so tall? In my memory, you were still a child."
Li Simin clenched his fist, suppressing the bitterness welling up inside him: "I'm already twenty-three, I'm no longer a child."
Song Man was quite surprised: "Time flies! How have you been lately?"
Li Simin nodded: "As long as you don't do strenuous exercise and get plenty of rest, you'll be fine."
Jiang Zhizhi was still unsure what was wrong with Li Simin's body, as it didn't seem to be very serious.
Song Man still added with concern, "You need to be more careful. I heard there's an old doctor who's very good at treating difficult and complicated cases. I'll go ask him where he is later."
Li Simin blushed again at this word of concern: "Thank you. I'm feeling much better lately, and I've been invited by the research institute to participate in the research and development of a project. I'll be starting work at the research institute in a few days."
Song Man exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing!"
She knew that Li Simin was the genius child everyone talked about, who could learn anything just by looking at it, but he rarely went out because of his poor health.
Li Simin seemed to have mustered up his courage to turn his head and look at Song Man. It was the first time he had been so close to her. He could see her long eyelashes under her glasses, her gentle eyes, her fair skin, and a red mole at the corner of her eye.
Suddenly I felt very content, and when I looked ahead, my eyes were filled with light.
Jiang Zhizhi stood on the other side of Song Man, listening to their conversation. Li Simin still held firm to her principles and didn't call her "sister" once.
After standing there for a while, Song Man asked Jiang Zhizhi if she wanted to go up the mountain for a walk.
Jiang Zhizhi had no objection: "Okay."
Li Simin was not in good health for mountain climbing and watched Jiang Zhizhi and Song Man leave with some regret.
...
Further upstream from Glasses Lake, there is a Biyun Temple, but it has been destroyed and is now covered in snow, making it look even more desolate.
Jiang Zhizhi was in good physical condition and pulled Song Man all the way to the entrance of Biyun Temple.
Song Man, who doesn't usually exercise much, had a flushed face and felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She smiled at Jiang Zhizhi, whose face was normal, and said, "You're young after all, you have great stamina."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Sister, how old are you? You're still young. You're just out of shape from sitting in an office all day. By the way, what illness does Li Simin have?"
Song Man took a breath and looked at Jiang Zhizhi with some surprise: "You're so close to them, didn't you know?"
Jiang Zhizhi felt somewhat ashamed; she truly didn't know, and it wasn't in the original owner's memories either.
Song Man thought for a moment: "The aftereffects of falling into the water when he was a child seem to include some heart problems, but I don't know the specifics. However, he is really smart. He completed the high school curriculum at home by the age of ten. He was a well-known genius in the compound. Everyone said that he was a reincarnation of the God of Literature, which is why he wasn't given a healthy body."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't say much. If they were destined to be together, they would definitely be together. If they weren't, this would be fine.
Song Man turned to look at the dilapidated temple gate, then suddenly turned to look at Jiang Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, do you believe in reincarnation?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I believe you."
Song Man smiled, her gaze fixed on the temple gate with a hint of piety.
Jiang Zhizhi watched for a while, and she didn't know if it was because the topic reminded her of her previous life, or because she caught a chill after sweating, but she felt dizzy and uncomfortable as soon as she came down the mountain.
To avoid spoiling the fun, they didn't tell Song Man and the others, and even went to the courtyard's canteen for lunch before going home.
In just one morning, Shang Xingzhou and Li Yuanchao had become good friends. After lunch, instead of going home with Jiang Zhizhi, they went up the mountain to play.
Jiang Zhizhi forced herself to stay awake. After parting ways with Song Man at the doorstep, she felt a cold sweat all over her body when she got home.
I sat on the sofa for a while before I felt a little more comfortable.
Fang Hua came downstairs and saw Jiang Zhizhi leaning against the sofa with a pale face. She was so frightened that she rushed over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Jiang Zhizhi's forehead; it was damp and cool, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't know, I suddenly feel nauseous, want to vomit, and have no energy at all."
Fang Hua was stunned for a moment, stared at Jiang Zhizhi for a while, and then asked, "Are you pregnant?"
