  “I think I went overboard with my words last night,” Shen Zhilie said. “I’m sorry.”


  Ye Qianqian froze in her steps and turned to look at him. Was he actually apologizing for his actions? Does he actually know how to apologize? She was astonished.

  She looked at Shen Zhilie as if she were looking at a ghost. It was rare for this lad to apologize. Although he had indeed gone overboard, she decided to forgive him.

  Just as she was contemplating the thought, she noticed that Shen Zhilie looked very serious.

  “I’ve been thinking about this for a long while,” Shen Zhilie said. “Although we are considered pretty close, there are still some truths that shouldn’t be said. You won’t mind it, will you?”


  Ye Qianqian’s initial thoughts went up in smoke. She glared at Shen Zhilie. Without a single word, she turned and stomped back into her bedroom.

  The air-conditioned room was a little cold, so she shivered upon entering. She quickly switched the air-conditioner off.

  Her head felt drowsy. Ye Qianqian wrapped herself in her blanket and fell back into a deep slumber.

  She didn’t know how long she had slept for, but her whole body was in terrible discomfort. A feeling of nausea crept up her chest. She sat up and dry heaved. Nothing was thrown up. She just felt horrible.

  The sky was already bright. When she checked the time, she saw that it was already past 10 a.m.

  Ye Qianqian was shivering from head to toe. When she stood up, she felt as if her bones were about to fall apart. Her stomach was feeling nauseous again. Without enough time to even put on her shoes, she rushed over to the bathroom.

  Shen Zhilie had fallen asleep unknowingly some time while watching the soccer game. When he heard the sound of running steps behind him, his eyelids quivered. He stretched his back and gave a huge yawn.

  Barf……

  The sound of Ye Qianqian vomiting could be heard. It immediately awakened Shen Zhilie from his sleepy state. His eyes abruptly shot open as he sprung up into a sitting position.

  He turned to look in the direction of the bathroom and called out, “What’s wrong?”


  Ye Qianqian was too focused on throwing up. She didn’t possess the energy to reply to him. She threw up all the food that she had eaten the night before. When there was nothing left to throw up, some sour liquid came up instead.

  She felt as if she was about to collapse. Her face was swollen red. She reached her arm out to flush the toilet. Without any strength left in her whatsoever, she leaned against the bathtub with her eyes half-closed, looking like death itself.

  Shen Zhilie walked in barefooted. When he saw the state she was in, he handed her a few pieces of tissue and said, “Wipe your mouth.”


  Ye Qianqian crudely snatched the tissues over and wiped her mouth before shoving it back into his hand.

  Shen Zhilie was utterly disgusted and commented, “Do you not possess any sense of civics? How can you even do that?”


  Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and retorted, “Be happy that I’m not puking all over you!”


  Shen Zhilie was speechless for a moment before asking, “Are you not feeling well?”


  “Of course! Can a pregnant woman feel well at all?” Ye Qianqian wasn’t in a good mood and waved him away.

  Shen Zhilie threw the bunch of tissues away. When he heard her reply, he burst out in hearty laughter. “Someone like you can get pregnant? Dream on!”


  Ye Qianqian felt like arrows were piercing her heart.

  What does he mean by “someone like you?” It’s women like me who are the best!

  Ye Qianqian didn’t have the energy to argue with him. She slowly got up. Her actions were slow and clumsy.

  When Shen Zhilie saw that, he stepped forward and uncertainly asked, “Are you really pregnant?” As he spoke, he reached out to support her. When he touched her hand, he remarked in surprise, “F*ck! You’re burning up!”
