She said, âWhy are you still thinking of whether he wants you or not? You should be thinking if you should keep him or not instead!â
The girl wiped her tears, her gaze sad and sorrowful, but shook her head. âBut⦠But⦠I canât let him go. I love him so much⦠I donât want to break up with him. H-He promised that he would only love me forever. Why, why did he change so quickly?â
She turned to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, âIs it because Iâm pregnant? Because he isnât ready to be a father? Do you think so? Also with regards to that girlâ there are a lot of people who like him. I know that. Heâd rejected a lot of confessions from girls when he was with me, so it canât be that heâs had a change of heart. It must be because that girl is pestering him, right?â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs expression froze. She thought that the girl was being silly, but after thinking for a while, she nodded. âYeah, it must be so! Give him a bit of time. If he really loves you, heâll think it through clearly.â
The girl laughed desolately. âDonât lie to me⦠I know that heâs had a change of heart and doesnât want me anymore. I was trying to lie to myself by thinking like that, but I just canât.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, her gaze heavy. âWhy are you doing something as foolish as wanting to jump down from a building if you already understand this? You know that heâs not worth it.â
Perhaps she touched a sore point in the girlâs sadness, for she started to cry again.
âI donât know what else to do⦠I wanted to abort the baby initially, but the doctor told me⦠thereâs a problem with my womb. If I undergo the operation, there is a possibility that I wonât be able to have children in the future, and it would be life-threatening tooâ¦â
âWhat do you think I should do? Give birth to him? But my mom and dadâ¦â
âNo, I canât give birth to him. How am I supposed to raise him if I give birth to him? Iâm still a student. My life in the future⦠I donât dare to imagine it. Iâm so scared. I think I have lost hope in living. Is there a meaning to living so miserably? Thatâs not the kind of life I want!â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart ached for the girl as she listened to her cry.
How was a high school student supposed to raise a child without a lover or parents to rely on? This was a cruel and real problem.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs throat felt choked up. She didnât know how to comfort her, and could only say in a soft voice, âDonât cry⦠No one knows what will happen in the future. It might be different from what youimagined.â
The girl shook her head. âNo⦠Miracles donât happen often. I am very aware of how cruel society is.â
Mu Xiaoxiao observed her clothing and understood that she didnât come from a wealthy background. She could have entered Shangde through her academics.
However, not every student who entered the school could receive a large amount of money through scholarship like Lu Yichen. Some of them still had to pay for their own school fees, which created a lot of pressure for non-wealthy families.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know how to respond to this.
The two of them became silent, and the atmosphere was a little down.
The members of the Student Union had already arrived by the door, but were blocked by Yin Shaojie, who gestured for them to keep silent.
Suddenly, the girl turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao. âYouâve probably done it with Young Master Jie already, right?â
Upon hearing this, the members of the Student Union turned their gazes towards Yin Shaojie.
