Chapter 1
When Jiang Zhinian woke up in the morning, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
She took out the pregnancy test stick that she had secretly bought at the pharmacy when she got home that morning and went to the bathroom.
Two bars.
With trembling hands, she opened the app of a nearby tertiary hospital, studied it for a long time, and made an appointment for a gynecology department.
I was so confused that I closed the program, and my phone suddenly vibrated.
"Have you done the test?"
Jiang Zhinian looked at the simple words "Shi Ye" on the chat page and closed his eyes.
"Yeah, it's okay."
The opposite side shows that input is in progress.
Jiang Zhinian waited and waited before hearing two words.
"OK."
She stared at the two words, her thoughts going back to that chaotic morning.
A dim room, messy sheets, a man's naked upper body, and a quilt covering only his waist and abdomen.
He said, I will take responsibility.
Jiang Zhinian shrank into the quilt and shook his head.
"My pheromone inhibitor probably didn't work. It was just an accident. Don't take it to heart."
Yes, in this era where desires are controlled by pheromones, if something happens to adult men and women due to the failure of inhibitors or a momentary mistake, it is not a big deal.
Shi Ye didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Jiang Zhinian quietly with his gray eyes for a long time.
Then he said, I understand.
Jiang Zhinian hid in the quilt with a pair of eyes exposed, watching him stand up, bare his muscular back and walk to the bathroom to take a shower.
Then she quickly put on her clothes like a thief and slipped out of the hotel before Shi Ye came out.
She found a 24-hour pharmacy on her phone, gave herself an injection of inhibitor on the spot, and bought a birth control pill.
There was no water in the store, and she was too lazy to find a convenience store to buy some, so she just stuffed the water into her mouth and chewed it dry.
Bitterness spread in her mouth, just like her mood.
If life always changes in one or two moments, then her dull life was destined to be distorted when the door opened and Feng Peipei waved to her with a smile.
…
A month ago.
"Nian Nian, it's time to get off work!"
A group of old men and women who were playing mahjong under a tree saw Jiang Zhinian and greeted her warmly.
Jiang Zhinian smiled and nodded in agreement, then bought some vegetables from the vegetable store downstairs in the community and prepared to go home and cook for herself.
Just as they reached the entrance of the unit, the aunt who lived on the first floor suddenly opened the door and walked out, pulling Jiang Zhinian and saying, "Hey, Nian Nian is back. Didn't you have dinner? Come to Auntie's house to eat."
Jiang Zhinian quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, no thanks, Auntie. I've already bought the groceries. I won't bother you anymore."
"Oh, it's not a problem at all. I haven't even paid you for tutoring my daughter last time. Why would it be a problem to have a meal with her?" After saying that, he forcefully pulled her in without waiting for Jiang Zhinian to refuse.
Jiang Zhinian was not good at rejecting other people's kindness, so he could only sit at the dinner table a little stiffly, but found that there was a man sitting opposite him whom he had never seen before. He was a little fat and looked to be in his thirties.
When the man saw Jiang Zhinian sitting down, he moved awkwardly and lowered his head to look at his bowl.
Jiang Zhinian was shocked and realized that this meal was not simple. Although he wanted to leave in a hurry, when he saw the aunt inviting him to eat so warmly, he couldn't say no and could only sit down with his head down.
"Nian Nian, come eat. Don't be shy. We're all family. This is my nephew, Xiong Cong. He's 28 years old and has never had a girlfriend. His family has a car and a house, and he has a stable job. Especially, he has a really nice personality."
"Congcong, don't just eat! This is Jiang Zhinian, the one I mentioned to you. She's 24 years old, just graduated from college two years ago, and works as a teacher at a school. She's such a nice person, gentle and virtuous. Tsk, take the initiative!"
Jiang Zhinian buried her face in her chest, hoping the meeting would end quickly and she could leave. Unfortunately, the person opposite her didn't seem to notice her resistance. With a red face, she stammered, "Jiang, Miss Jiang, do you have any hobbies?"
Jiang Zhinian, who was suddenly called out, could only answer quietly: "I don't have any special hobbies, I just read books."
Xiong Cong was about to ask more when Jiang Zhinian's phone suddenly rang. She felt relieved and rescued. She immediately took out her phone from her bag and said without even looking at it, "Hello, yeah, what, that document, now? Okay, I'll send it to you right away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, the school has a very important document that I need to send out right away. I have to leave now. Sorry."
While the two men were still unable to react, I quickly grabbed my bag and put on my shoes and went out. When I got home, I realized that the food had been left in someone else's house.
Forget it, she didn't have the courage to go again.
After lying on the bed and catching her breath, she slowly took out her cell phone and prepared to return the call.
Jiang Zhinian is an introvert and not good at socializing. She has made few friends in her life. Apart from Feng Peipei, who grew up with her, the only people who call her are various agents.
As soon as I unlocked my phone, Feng Peipei called.
"Niannian, what happened to you just now? What document is that?"
Jiang Zhinian didn't want her to know that he had been caught on a blind date, so he only vaguely explained: "My boss urged me to submit the documents, and I made a mistake."
"You're so dazed all day long! Be careful your school leaders might fire you." Feng Peipei laughed twice and got down to business. "It's my birthday this weekend. Bring your rich second-generation boyfriend along."
"Not a boyfriend."
Jiang Zhinian came to the kitchen, holding her phone in one hand and started cooking noodles with the other.
The rich second generation that Feng Peipei was talking about was called Qin Yuming, and he was the uncle of a kid in her class.
One time after school, she talked to him about something related to a child, and Qin Yuming inexplicably began to pursue her.
She drove her Porsche sports car to the school every day to deliver flowers, which left a bad impression on the principal, who had several talks with her.
"What are you doing? Are you still hanging on? Hurry up and agree to it. Be careful that he gets tired of pursuing you and stops pursuing you. You will regret it later."
Jiang Zhinian said nothing.
Feng Peipei knew her temper and laughed, "Okay, if it's not true, then it's not true. Anyway, just call everyone over and we can play together."
Jiang Zhinian still refused. She had no interest in Qin Yuming and didn't want to give him any ambiguous hope.
Feng Peipei tutted, "Boring, Jiang Zhinian, you're really boring. Why are you hiding things? How can I possibly steal yours?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Feng Peipei thought of something and curled her lips. She interrupted, "I'll bring my boyfriend over to show you guys. Shi Ye knows, hehe, sister got him."
Shi Ye...
The hot water boiled, and Jiang Zhinian accidentally touched the hot pot lid, which scalded her so much that she let out a short cry.
Feng Peipei asked curiously, "What's wrong? What are you doing?"
"It's okay, I was just boiling water and accidentally scalded myself."
Feng Peipei said speechlessly, "Alright, that's enough. Anyway, remember to arrive on time that day, at 7pm. I'll send you the location later."
"good."
Jiang Zhinian exhaled softly, looking at his burned fingers, trying to force a smile to comfort himself, but he found that his heart was so sour that he couldn't smile no matter what.
