Zhixue was forced to work in the convenience store, and no matter how much she wanted to escape, she couldn't.
Under the expectant gaze of Lin Xiaoman and Yao Jianfen, Zhixue bit her lip, gritted her teeth and dialed the number on the phone, secretly praying for a miracle to happen.
"Look at this kid, so nervous." Aunt Shen from the store cracked melon seeds with a smile and said in a confident tone, "Xiaoxue, you're so smart, you'll definitely pass the exam. Don't be nervous."
"That's right, don't be nervous, Xiaoxue, you have always had good grades." Yao Jianfen agreed happily with a smile on her face.
Zhixue didn't know what to say, so she smiled bitterly. Her fingers were trembling slightly as she pressed the number. She felt as if she was being roasted on a fire.
Although I wish time would stop at this moment and not move forward, no matter how much I don't want it to, time still passes by slowly.
Zhixue had to face the reality that grades were inevitable. They were always there, an established fact.
Zhixue tremblingly pressed the last number. Because the speakerphone was on, everyone present could hear the loud voice coming from the phone clearly.
"Chinese: 105, Mathematics: 78, English: 108, Comprehensive Science: 143, Total score: 434..."
The weather at the end of June was already scorching hot, but as she listened to the formal voice coming from the phone, a chill seeped into her body bit by bit, her hands and feet became cold, and Zhixue felt as if her spine had frozen into ice, and she began to shiver subconsciously.
I was so cold that my whole brain was blank, as if it was stuffed with cotton. There was also a buzzing sound in my ears. I couldn't think of anything and couldn't hear anything. The world suddenly fell into devastating darkness.
Lin Xiaoman, who had known the ending for a long time, acted very well and showed a surprised expression.
Yao Jianfen was so surprised that the smile on her face froze for a moment. This score?
Although she didn't know much due to her lack of education, she knew that Zhixue's scores in the previous mock exams were always close to 600, but this time it was only 434? Was the test too difficult?
"Uh, this is... not doing well in the exam?" As the only bystander at the scene, Aunt Shen stopped cracking melon seeds, looked at the faces of the three people, and asked hesitantly.
"Xiaoxue, is this test difficult?" Lin Xiaoman, showing her fake sisterhood, asked with concern and confusion on her face.
"Sister..." Zhixue's face looked extremely ugly, as if she had a terminal illness. It was completely pale and bloodless, and she felt desperate as if the sky was falling.
He called her out dryly with a desperate expression. Zhixue turned her head slowly like a wooden man and looked towards Yao Jianfen, "Mom..."
It was like a last cry for help at the end of the road. After shouting to Yao Jianfen, Zhixue's eyes rolled back, and he fainted and fell directly to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoman was quick-witted and hugged the person, so he did not fall to the ground.
"Xiaoxue!!" Yao Jianfen was startled and her eyes widened.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue?" Lin Xiaoman called out twice with an anxious look on his face, his hand already quietly taking her pulse.
Well, there's nothing wrong. It's just that I was overworked during pregnancy and I was also overly stimulated at the time, so I couldn't hold on and fainted.
"Hurry, hurry and send him to the hospital!" Aunt Shen hurriedly reminded.
"Mom, run back quickly, get the money, and then ride the bike over here. Let's go to the hospital!"
"Yes, the hospital!" After coming back to her senses from the panic, Yao Jianfen immediately took action and ran back quickly.
"Why did Xiaoxue faint for no reason?" Having witnessed the whole thing, Aunt Shen couldn't help but feel curious and immediately had a guess: maybe she didn't do well in the exam?
"Maybe I'm too tired. Aunt Shen, I don't have any money on me. I'll pay for the phone call when we get back..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's just a few cents, no need to pay. Xiaoqiu, why don't you try pinching the little snowman?"
"Yeah." Lin Xiaoman pressed her eyelids, and the person's eyelids moved slightly.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, can you hear me?"
After several tens of seconds, Zhixue finally opened her eyes, her pale face filled with confusion. "Sister, me?"
"I'm glad you're awake. Don't talk. Just sit down and relax for a while."
While Lin Xiaoman was speaking, Yao Jianfen came hurriedly on a tricycle.
"Hurry, get in the car."
"Xiaoxue, sit on it." Lin Xiaoman helped her sit on the tricycle.
"Mom, you guys go ahead, I'm going to close the store, I'll be right back."
"Okay. Xiaoxue, sit tight." Yao Jianfen pedaled the bike towards the hospital.
After closing the shop, Lin Xiaoman borrowed a bicycle from his neighbor and rushed to the hospital. It was called a hospital, but it was actually a community health center.
When Lin Xiaoman arrived, Yao Jianfen and Zhixue had just finished registering.
Because Zhixue fainted suddenly and no one knew what was wrong with her, Yao Jianfen called the town's well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Mr. Liu.
Whenever people in town have any minor problems, they basically go to him.
"Mr. Liu, my daughter suddenly fainted just now. I was so worried. Please help take a good look at her. Make sure there is nothing wrong!" Yao Jianfen was anxious and scared.
"Don't worry, there are many reasons for fainting. Maybe it's just heatstroke." Mr. Liu said calmly, then looked at Zhixue's face carefully, "Open your mouth, let me see your tongue."
Then again, "Put your hand on it, I'll take your pulse."
Zhixue did not resist and cooperated throughout the process.
Lin Xiaoman stared at her expression carefully and narrowed his eyes slightly. So, she actually didn't know that she was pregnant?
After taking Zhixue's pulse for more than ten seconds, Old Liu frowned slightly and looked up at her with a strange look in his eyes.
"Mr. Liu, no, you are not sick, right?" Yao Jianfen immediately became anxious when she saw his expression.
"Let's do a blood test first." Without saying anything else, Mr. Liu quickly wrote out a blood test order.
Lin Xiaoman took a quick glance and found that there was indeed a test for 'human chorionic gonadotropin'.
Of course, Yao Jianfen didn't understand what this meant, so she took the bill and hurried to pay.
After paying the money, the two accompanied Zhixue to have a blood test. When they arrived at the blood test window, Lin Xiaoman's eyelids twitched. He could only say, enemies meet on a narrow road.
It turned out to be Li Feiyan!
Oh, okay, Li Feiyan is a nurse, it's normal to see her here.
"Aunt Yao, are you doing a blood test?" Seeing the three people, Li Feiyan's face showed no abnormality and she greeted them enthusiastically.
"Well, my Xiaoxue needs a blood test." Although she didn't like Li Feiyan, Yao Jianfen responded with false politeness.
Lin Xiaoman stood silently by, thinking secretly in his heart.
Well, as a nurse, Li Feiyan must understand. And given her character, the news of Zhixue's pregnancy would spread throughout the town in just three days.
Yao Jianfen had sent him away under the pretext of 'repeating', and no one else knew about it. Although there were rumors among the public, such as "Yao Xiaonian is Zhixue's illegitimate child?", most people just listened to the gossip, as there was no evidence.
Now, with the news of "getting pregnant before marriage", Zhixue's reputation is completely ruined.
