The two laughed and joked as they returned to their dormitory. Lin Wanwan threw the book on the table, saying, "It's so heavy, I'm exhausted."
He rummaged through the cupboard and took out some pastries and apples, washed one and gave it to Zheng Yan, saying, "Eat, come and have some pastries."
Zheng Yan didn't stand on ceremony with her, took the apple, and said enviously, "Your mother-in-law is so good to you, isn't she?"
"Is your mother-in-law not good to you?"
"You almost tore up my acceptance letter, do you think that's kind of you?"
"Don't want you to come? Are you afraid you'll abandon your husband and children?"
"How could you guess that? I met my husband when I went to the countryside. He's a really good person, and he's good at making money. He never lets me or the kids go hungry, and he loves me very much. It's just that my mother-in-law is really difficult to get along with, so my husband suggested that we separate and move out, and that's when things calmed down."
Zheng Yan continued while munching on an apple, "I was happy to get into university, and my husband was very supportive. But my mother-in-law, I don't know who she was talking to, said that once I went to university, I wouldn't come back."
"It's okay. Your husband treats you so well. Focus on your career and try to get your husband and child to come to Beijing. That way, you won't have to face your mother-in-law."
"It's easy to say, but staying in Beijing is not easy at all. These days, you need a letter of introduction to go out, let alone leave my husband and children here."
Lin Wanwan patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Things will get better. People weren't allowed to do business before, but things are better now, aren't they? If you and your husband work hard, anything is possible."
“You’re right, I can’t give up. Beijing has such good resources, and the education my child will receive here will be completely different. Let’s keep each other accountable and work hard together.”
Lin Wanwan nodded with a smile, "Okay, have some snacks."
Zheng Yan picked up a pastry from her table and took a big bite.
The next day, Lin Wanwan was pulled by Zheng Yan to the playground to assemble. After finding the squad, Lin Wanwan did not hesitate and went to the instructor to explain the situation.
The instructor was understanding and told her she could go back to her dormitory to rest.
Lin Wanwan bowed to him, and said with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Thank you, instructor. Our counselor told me that I must stay with my classmates, and he will come to check."
Lin Wanwan was deliberately putting on this innocent act; she didn't want to implicate the instructor if something went wrong.
I found a flower bed to sit on and took out my notebook to practice German.
These are economic terms that Lin Wanwan copied down last night. Lin Wanwan plans to give up learning French for now and learn German first.
With the playground so noisy, no one should notice her reciting vocabulary here.
After carrying it for almost an hour, Lin Wanwan felt her stomach was completely empty.
She muttered softly with her head down, "Yuanyuan, how can you eat so much? Mommy is hungry again."
Lin Wanwan endured her hunger and continued memorizing vocabulary, finally making it to lunchtime.
Back in the dorm, everyone collapsed onto their beds. "Why do we have to do military training?!" Zhang Lin wailed.
“Go ask the principal, it’s really tiring,” Zhou Chuying blurted out in her hometown dialect.
Lin Wanwan was engrossed in reading her new semester's textbook that morning when she suddenly noticed someone blocking the light.
Looking up, Lin Wanwan saw Li Qing and greeted him politely, "Good morning, Teacher Li."
Li Qing snorted coldly at her and stood next to her.
Lin Wanwan didn't care what he was doing and continued reading her book.
"Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"
"How long I can keep up this act, Teacher Li, you'll see. But if you still can't let go of your prejudice against me, you probably won't be a teacher for long."
Li Qing roared angrily, "Who are you trying to scare? You think you can just say I can't take the job? Even if you have some connections, the school can't just fire me like that!"
Li Qing thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, so he became even less friendly towards Lin Wanwan.
The instructors took a short break to rest, drink some water, and then continue.
Zheng Yan ran over and watched Li Qing's retreating figure, then pulled Lin Wanwan aside and asked.
"Is Teacher Li giving you trouble again?"
"No, they just made a few sarcastic remarks and left."
Lin Wanwan took out a peach shortbread and gave it to her. "Have some, you still have to train later."
Zheng Yan took the peach shortbread and started eating it. Just as she was about to ask how her reading was going, a boy wearing glasses ran over.
Lin Wanwan and Zheng Yan both looked at him with puzzled expressions. The boy ran over, blushing, and said, "Hey classmate, I've been watching you for days. You're always studying in the corner. I really like you. Would you like to be with me? We can study together and make progress together."
Lin Wanwan took two steps back. "I'm sorry, classmate, I'm already married. I can't be with you, and I won't be studying and making progress with you anymore."
Lin Wanwan thought she had made herself very clear, but to her surprise, he blushed and said, "It's okay, classmate. Even if you're married, it won't affect my liking for you. Can you tell me your name?"
"No, I've already made it very clear, I'm already married."
"Then... then remember me, my name is Zhang Qi, and I will come back to find you," Zhang Qi said before running away.
The onlookers started to jeer, and Lin Wanwan glanced around speechlessly.
Just as Zheng Yan was about to say something, she heard the instructor blow his whistle and shout "Assemble!" through a megaphone.
Lin Wanwan originally intended to endure a few days before starting her act, but after today's incident, she doesn't know how the rumors will spread tomorrow, and she probably won't have any peace and quiet for the next few days.
Unable to concentrate on her studies, Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and decided to move her plans forward.
The next morning, Lin Wanwan arrived at the playground on time. During the morning break, Zheng Yan went to Lin Wanwan's side as usual.
"Please pull me, I need to go to the bathroom."
Zheng Yan stretched her hand out to Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan probably ate very little this morning and didn't bring any food like she usually does.
My original plan was to fake low blood sugar and dizziness, then stand up and pretend to faint, so I could extort money from Li Qing and then take the opportunity to stop coming to the playground for practice.
When she stood up, Lin Wanwan felt dizzy and her vision went black. She was surprised and thought, "Could I have really messed up? I was just hungry, but I don't think I have low blood sugar."
Zheng Yan reacted quickly, catching Lin Wanwan and shouting to the instructors nearby, "Instructor, instructor, Wanwan has fainted!"
Lin Wanwan was startled by her. She waved her hand to say that she was fine, and tried to stand up by supporting herself with Zheng Yan. However, she lost her footing and tripped over herself, making her head spin even more.
Before she completely lost consciousness, Lin Wanwan desperately protected her stomach.
The instructor who was called over by Zheng Yan was also terrified. If something happened to her, he wouldn't be able to escape either. Fortunately, he had reported Lin Wanwan's situation to the leaders at the beginning. It wasn't him who kept her; it was the counselor who insisted on keeping her.
When Lin Wanwan woke up, she was startled to see that she was still on an IV drip. She immediately tried to sit up and find a doctor. She was pregnant, so could she take any medication?
