Chapter 367 Bai Yan is Pregnant

In the middle of the night, Xuanmei was sleeping soundly when a soft pair of lips pressed against her forehead.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Liu Jing with her eyes closed, her mouth pressed against her forehead. Liu Jing's hands were half-hugging her, and her legs were straddling her body.

She was still asleep, which startled her.

After all, Liu Jing had confessed his feelings to her when he was drunk. Although she only took it as a joke, how could she not realize Liu Jing's feelings for her?

She's a normal girl who likes men, so why would she be with a woman?

She felt she should stay away from Liu Jing in the future, otherwise things would get even more complicated if Liu Jing got more and more involved.

Thinking of all this, she gently pushed Liu Jing away from her embrace, then pulled her legs down so she could lie flat, before falling asleep again.

The next day, Liu Jing was woken up by the urge to urinate just as dawn was breaking. She sat up, rubbed her groggy temples, and only then did she become a little more awake.

Seeing herself and Xuanmei lying in the same bed, Liu Jing's memories returned, and she remembered that she had been drunk and had confessed her feelings to Xuanmei.

Liu Jing was angry at herself for what she had done; why did she have to reveal the secret of her crush?

What if Xuanmei avoids her from now on? Liu Jing was filled with regret, but things had already come to this, so she could only try her best to calm herself down and pretend to have amnesia and get drunk and black out.

The dormitory was quiet, save for the occasional sound of even breathing. She quietly climbed out of bed, put on her shoes, and gently opened the door to go to the bathroom.

When she returned from the bathroom, several of her roommates had already woken up.

After they put on their clothes and shoes, the first thing they did was go to the restroom.

Xuanmei woke up at this moment. She put on her clothes and shoes and then prepared to tidy up the quilt.

Liu Jing smiled and said to her, "Amei, you go ahead and do your own thing. I'll tidy up the blankets."

Xuanmei didn't refuse, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't deliberately avoid Liu Jing like this; she had to take it step by step.

Liu Jing was unaware of Xuan Mei's thoughts and continued to considerately tidy up her quilt.

Liu Jing tidied the blankets, and Xuan Mei returned from the bathroom. They brushed their teeth and washed their faces together. Yun Ya followed behind them to wash up as well.

After everyone in the dormitory had finished washing up, they all went to the cafeteria for lunch. On the way, the lively and cheerful He Baizhen chattered on about the wonderful dreams she had the night before.

Fatty Zhang Liaoliao joked, "Oh, what wonderful dream has you had that's making you so happy? Tell us about it."

He Baizhen covered her mouth and laughed: "I dreamed that I ate my way from one end of the food street to the other, and it was so satisfying!" Everyone was amused by her words.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, everyone lined up to get their food.

Liu Jing, as usual, kept an eye out for Xuan Mei's favorite dishes. Xuan Mei felt a little conflicted, but she still sat down at the table with Liu Jing.

During dinner, Yunya suddenly said, "How about we go out and have some fun this weekend?"

Everyone responded enthusiastically, and He Baizhen said excitedly, "Great! How about going to the food street? I've been dreaming about it!"

Zhang Liaoliao nodded with a smile. Xuan Mei hesitated, afraid of having too much contact with Liu Jing.

At this moment, Liu Jing noticed her concerns and said, "If Amei has something to do, then forget it. The rest of us will go."

Hearing her say that, Xuanmei felt that she was being a bit stingy, so she said, "I'll go too."

Everyone cheered upon hearing this, and a weekend trip plan was thus finalized.

After finishing their meal, they all went to work in the workshop full of energy, except for Liu Jing, who was preoccupied with other things and worked absentmindedly.

At the new factory, Bai Yan and Lu Teng are already living together. They went to town for the weekend and stayed overnight at a small hotel.

After they returned, the two became even closer. They were inseparable, eating and working together, except for sleeping in the same dormitory at night.

But ever since then, whenever they had a weekend off, the two of them would go to a small hotel in town to have some alone time together.

Sweet days are always so short-lived; not long after, Bai Yan became pregnant. It was already mid-November, and they needed to figure out a solution.

Lu Teng didn't want the child; he wanted to work outside for a few more years to earn some money. Once he had enough, he would go home and get married.

But time waits for no one. In two months, Bai Yan's belly will be big enough to hide. At that point, the two will have no choice but to get married.

Bai Yan, however, did not think that way. She was overjoyed to know that she was pregnant and kept thinking about going home to get married and give birth to the child.

So they disagreed on the issue of having children versus having an abortion.

Lu Teng earnestly advised Bai Yan: "We have nothing right now, how are we going to raise a child? Wait until I've earned enough money, then I'll marry you in style, and then we can have a child. Wouldn't that be great?"

Bai Yan retorted with red eyes, "The child is the fruit of our love. If we abort it now, I will regret it for the rest of my life if something unexpected happens later."

Neither of them could convince the other, and the argument grew louder and louder. Everyone else in the workshop cast strange glances their way.

Bai Yan ran away in a fit of anger, leaving Lu Teng standing there, feeling both anxious and annoyed.

He knew Bai Yan was stubborn, but given the current situation, she really had no choice but to have an abortion.

He chased after her, wanting to have another proper talk with Bai Yan, but found that she had already disappeared.

Lu Teng searched everywhere in the factory, his heart filled with worry, not knowing how to win Bai Yan back.

Bai Yan hid in a corner, secretly wiping away her tears. She secretly vowed to protect the child.

After their argument, the two didn't contact each other for three days. Lu Teng also didn't take the initiative to apologize and make up with Bai Yan as he had done before.

Bai Yan was heartbroken; her eyes were swollen and red like walnuts from crying every day. On the fourth day, Lu Teng finally couldn't hold back and came to find her.

When Lu Teng saw Bai Yan's haggard appearance, he was completely defeated. His heart ached with a sharp pain, like needles pricking his soul bit by bit.

Bai Yan's face was sallow, her eyes were red and swollen, and her youthful vitality seemed to have been drained away, leaving her without a youthful and vigorous appearance.

Its listless appearance resembles dried cabbage leaves, wrinkled and shriveled.

Lu Teng slapped himself hard across the face, the sound of which was deafening.

Bai Yan was terrified and quickly grabbed his hand, afraid that he would continue to slap her.

"Yan Yan, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn." Lu Teng's eyes reddened, and his voice was trembling with tears.

“Let’s keep this child. I will work hard to earn money to support you.” Upon hearing this, Bai Yan’s eyes flashed with joy, but then she began to sob again.

"Are you serious? You don't mind that you can't raise a child right now?"

Lu Teng hugged her tightly. "It was my fault. The child is our precious baby. How could I dislike him? I'll tell my family tomorrow, and we'll get married as soon as possible."

Bai Yan stopped crying and smiled, wrapping her arms around Lu Teng's waist.

"As long as you're willing, I believe our future will be bright."

The two embraced for a long time, and their previous conflicts vanished.
