Chapter 216: Pregnant My Ass (2/2)
“Hand holding, kissing.”
“...You think that’s enough to make you pregnant?”
“Mn.”
“You didn’t go any further with him?”
“He wanted to take off my clothes, but I rejected him. After that, I ran to Suzhou without telling him.”
“Fuck me!”
“Big brother Lu Chen, boss… why are you swearing?”
“It’s nothing.”
Still crying like a bitch, I looked for the dermatology ward. I finally understood why that One True Love came all the way to Suzhou for Beiming Xue. It was because he didn’t get what he wanted in the first place. I wasn’t sure what was worse, his dogged persistence or Beiming Xue’s fatal innocence. Either one was too much for a shut-in like me.
……
After Beiming Xue registered at the gastroenterology ward, she sneaked glances at me until she could no longer hold herself back anymore. She asked softly, “Big bro, can I confess something to you?”
“Oh? What is it? I was a bit distracted because my head was filled with Lin Yixin.
She sucked in a deep breath before explaining, “His name is Chen Sheng. We were high school schoolmates. We were a very normal couple at the beginning, but Chen Sheng later dropped out of school and and struck out on his own for about two years or so. We weren’t close, but we were still boyfriend and girlfriend in name. However, one day my opinion of him changed drastically when I realized that he was doing drugs!”
“Doing drugs?” I frowned. “No wonder he looks like he needs to have his teeth kicked in…”
Beiming Xue smiled. “At the time, I was already unsure if I still had feelings for him. Maybe I still stuck with him because of the promise I made to myself a long time ago. After that, Chen Sheng tried to take me to a hotel, but I really didn’t want to go with him. It was that day I officially fell out with him.”
I rubbed my temple for a bit and leaned against the chair. “But he didn’t give up on you, and you didn’t want to have anything to do with him. So it turned into a war of attrition, am I right?”
“Mn, more or less…” Beiming Xue pursed her lips. “I didn’t feel anything for him anymore, but it also made me feel like I had betrayed him. He refused to budge, and I was really troubled for a time…”
I frowned a little before asking, “Beiming, are you sure you feel absolutely nothing for him anymore?”
“Mn.” Beiming Xue nodded seriously. “That’s not all. I find him absolutely repulsive these days. Maybe it was because I was too young back then, but I wasn’t able to see him for what he was a couple years back. It was only now I realized just how loathsome he is…”
I let out a cough and lowered my voice, “So, did you or did you not do it with him?”
Beiming Xue blinked once before holding my hand. “Boss, can you tell me something? Do… do you get pregnant after you hug someone and kiss them?”
To say that I was petrified would be an understatement. A long time later, I finally asked, “How on earth did you survive your biology class?”
“Our teacher was a new female graduate, and she put us on self-study because she was too embarrassed to teach that particular class. We spent the whole lessons playing Legend of the Three Kingdoms as a result…”
“...”
Oh my god, so it was a female teacher who was the cause behind all this. Not only did her negligence result in a bunch of ignorant students, my reputation was dragged through the mud because of it! Goddamn, motherfucking sonuvabitch, this literally cannot get any more embarrassing for me!
……
Beiming Xue was called into the ward while I was busy drowning myself in my sorrows. A while later, the doctor prescribed her some medicine and told her to rest properly.
We went to the dermatology ward, but Lin Yixin and Sun Qingqing were long gone.
On the way back home, I pulled out my phone and called Lin Yixin’s number. The call connected after two dial tones, and I heard Lin Yixin say from the other side of the phone, “What is it?”
“Mn, about just now…”
Lin Yixin suddenly laughed. “You don’t need to explain anything, a good life needs no explanation. Beiming Xue is an obedient, cute and beautiful girl. I perfectly understand why you would have an affair with her.”
My complexion was quickly turning into a shade of blue. “What the hell are you even talking about? It’s really not what you think…”
Lin Yixin giggled again. “Seriously, you don’t need to explain anything to me, I understand!”
“And what did you ‘understand’, exactly…”
“You prefer older women, am I right? Lil Beiming is way too young to catch your attention, so tell me, how far have you gone with Murong Mingyue?”
The flames of war had spread to Murong Mingyue before she even realized it. Not sure whether to laugh or cry, I said, “Yiyi, seriously, can we not talk about this anymore? I’ve made up my mind to move out of the gaming base and find my own place to stay. Surely this is enough to clear me of any suspicion, right? Actually, why are we talking about this when I’m not even in a relationship with anyone, this is ridiculous…”
Lin Yixin’s chuckle entered my ears. “Oh? You sure you’re going to move out of the gaming base?”
“Mn.” I nodded strongly.
Lin Yixin hmmed for a moment before replying, “Actually, I was planning to move out of the dorms myself. The campus turns off their electricity at midnight, and the battery of my gaming helmet only lasts for 30 minutes. I hate it when I get the notification that I need to log out within 30 minutes!”
Suddenly, Lin Yixin asked me sweetly, “Do you want to rent a house together?”
I was tempted, but I said, “That would be… inappropriate, don’t you think?”
Lin Yixin burst out in laughter. “Of course it’s inappropriate! Like I would trust a womanizer like you! Hmph hmph, I’m moving out with Qingqing and that’s that!”
I let out a long sigh of resignation. Well, I should’ve seen this coming a mile away. There was no way an opportunity this fantastic would land in my lap.
“Lu Chen~~” Lin Yixin suddenly called out my name.
“Hmm? What?”
“Get back to grinding as much as you can. I heard a rumor that Heavenblessed will have a massive update after the first player reaches Level 80, and it seems like it has something to do with the Tactician class.”
“Oh, really? Where on earth did you hear something like this?”
“That is none of your business. Just focus on grinding for now!”
“Got it.”
“Anyway, I’m heading home. Let’s… meet again in the game, shall we?”
“Okay!”
……
After I hung up the call, Beiming Xue blinked and asked me from the front passenger’s seat, “Big bro, are you moving out of the base?”
“Yeah.” I nodded seriously. “You’ll be moving out with me as well.”
