Time passed day by day, and soon it was time for the original owner to discover her pregnancy. On that day, Shi Lan deliberately chose the same time and place. She came here just to go through the motions, thinking that she wouldn't find anything, since someone else was pregnant and that person was already with Han Guangye.
But life is full of surprises. As soon as Shi Lan turned the corner of the stairs, she saw two figures standing in front of her. The tall and thin one was Han Guangye, and the girl next to him stood in his shadow with her head down. Shi Lan couldn't see the man's face clearly for a moment, so she hid in the dark corner of the stairwell and waited quietly.
The two people not far away stared at each other silently. Finally, the girl couldn't hold back anymore. She lowered her head, clutched the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "I bought that yogurt on my way to school. I didn't put anything in it."
As soon as the girl spoke, Shi Lan recognized her voice; it was Lin Qing.
“I know,” Han Guangye looked down at Lin Qing, his voice as gentle and soft as ever, “I believe in you.”
Lin Qing was overjoyed and loosened her fingers from rubbing the hem of her clothes to grab Han Guangye. "Really?"
Han Guangye turned aside to avoid her fingers, glanced at her awkwardly, and nodded.
Lin Qing looked a little disappointed at his evasiveness, but she was already very gratified to have gained his trust. "I've been at home all this time. The school said they're going to give me a major demerit. My mom is worried that it will affect my future school admissions, so she's trying to find a way to transfer me to another school."
At this point, Lin Qing looked up at Han Guangye and tentatively asked, "I heard that Liu Ru has been bothering you a lot lately. You must be having a hard time, right?"
Han Guangye lowered his head, his face burning. The matter between Liu Ru and him had reached a point where it was no longer a matter of who was clinging to whom. Their relationship was a decision made by their two families, not to mention that Liu Ru was carrying his child. He wasn't such an irresponsible person, but Lin Qing was, after all, his first love. If he told her the truth, he was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it, since he had gotten together with Liu Ru while the two of them were still together.
In the darkness, Shi Lan was quite impressed. Lin Qing was truly remarkable for being able to express jealousy and hatred so gently and understandingly. However, some things cannot be solved by pretending to be generous or winning a man's heart.
First of all, Han Guangye is just a high school student. He has no ability to decide his future path on his own. Everything he has now comes from the Han family. The Han family is his protective umbrella, and at the same time, it sets boundaries for him.
The Han family didn't care when he was with Lin Qing before because they felt that Han Guangye was still immature and that it was okay for him to just play around with Lin Qing. They knew that Han Guangye's future partner would never be her.
But everything changed after that incident. The Liu family was not so easy to mess with. As families that had been friends for many years, they knew each other very well. The Liu family only had this one precious child. If Han Guangye dared to take advantage of them and then deny everything, the Liu family would get angry and the Han family would suffer a great loss. It was even possible that both sides would be severely damaged. No one wanted to see such a situation. Therefore, a marriage alliance between the two families was inevitable.
Therefore, no matter what Lin Qing's purpose was in coming here, she was destined to return empty-handed.
After Lin Qing finished speaking, she kept glancing at Han Guangye, hoping that he could explain to her that none of this was his own choice, but that Liu Ru had pressured and forced him to do it.
Han Guangye hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "No, Lin Qing. My relationship with Ruru is a bit complicated. I'll tell you later."
Lin Qingxin felt a chill. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to. Han Guangye didn't actually like her as much as she thought. Otherwise, how could he have started calling Liu Ru by her nickname so affectionately in just one month?
“I’m also curious about how complicated our situation is. Why don’t you tell me about it?”
Shi Lan was so engrossed in listening that she unconsciously stuck her head out, only to be startled by the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, causing her to shrink back into the dark corner.
Han Guangye was also startled. He hurriedly turned to look at the girl who had come later, his voice trembling slightly, "Ruru."
Liu Ru pursed her lips, glared at Han Guangye, and then turned her gaze to Lin Qing, who was looking at her resentfully. "Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's just Lin Yuni, who's in a hurry to find a man."
Liu Ru was retaliating. Back then, Han Guangye praised Lin Qing's character as pure and noble as a lotus flower in front of her, and now she deliberately described her as mud on the soles of her feet, and even more so, foul-smelling mud.
Upon hearing Liu Ru's words, Han Guangye turned his head away uncomfortably, a blush flashing across his fair face.
Lin Qing's face paled, and her eyes immediately filled with tears. "You're talking nonsense. I didn't put anything in the yogurt. What you're saying is slander."
Lin Qing's eyes were very round, and when they were filled with tears, her eyelashes trembled as if holding up needles about to drip dew. In addition, she had just bitten her lip, so her small mouth was rosy and exuded a unique and unrestrained beauty.
Han Guangye had always thought Lin Qing was cheerful and lively, a real joy to be around, but when he saw her like this, his heart was suddenly stirred, and a feeling of pity arose in his heart.
"Ruru, where is your manners? How can you speak so harshly?" Han Guangye frowned, his face stern.
Liu Ru was taken aback, and her grievances were immediately apparent on her face.
Lin Qing glanced at Liu Ru, who was pouting, stepped forward and gently tugged at Han Guangye's sleeve, whispering, "Never mind."
Han Guangye was looking at Liu Ru from the side when she pulled him down. His chin touched the top of her head, and a delicate floral fragrance wafted into his nose, making him momentarily stunned.
Liu Ru was furious. She already disliked Lin Qing, and now she dared to seduce Han Guangye right in front of her. "You slut, stay away from Brother Guangye!"
Liu Ru strode over and reached out to grab Lin Qing's hair, which was draped over her shoulders. Lin Qing let out a low cry of fear, but her small hands gripped Han Guangye's clothes tightly. She even wrapped her arms around Han Guangye's waist when Liu Ru got close.
Han Guangye didn't want to hurt Lin Qing, but he was also worried about Liu Ru's health. He had no choice but to turn to the side, shielding Lin Qing in front of his chest, and turning his back to Liu Ru.
Liu Ru originally just wanted to pull Lin Qing away, but Han Guangye's actions seemed to her as blatantly protecting Lin Qing and being hostile towards her.
Han Guangye had been very kind to her during this time. Although he wasn't particularly enthusiastic, he was still quite considerate. She had assumed that he already had feelings for her, but seeing this scene, it felt as if ice had been stuffed into her heart, making her shiver with cold.
"Fine, fine, since you want her but not the child, I'll grant your wish. I'll go find Aunt Han now and have her take me to the hospital," Liu Ru said, her lips trembling as she staggered outside.
Han Guangye was startled and quickly let go of her arm, wanting to give chase. But Lin Qing wouldn't let such an opportunity pass, so she quickly reached out and grabbed him, "Guangye."
Han Guangye glanced at Lin Qing, took a deep breath, and slowly pulled the clothes out of her delicate hands, along with a sudden surge of infatuation. "I'm sorry, Lin Qing, Ruru is pregnant. I can't let an innocent life leave this world before it's even born."
After saying that, he took off running after the figure in the distance.
