Chapter 221 : Righteous Fang Yanran

Lu Yunyao hesitated, “Yanran… she’s not feeling well.”

Fang Yanran, feeling embarrassed to explain to a boy, simply nodded.

“My stomach hurts.”

“I’ll take you to the infirmary!”

Without giving Fang Yanran any time to react, Fu Qianxing picked her up and ran off to the infirmary.

Lu Yunyao waited in her classroom for over ten minutes before Fu Qianxing and Fang Yanran returned one after the other.

Fang Yanran’s face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and she awkwardly distanced herself from Fu Qianxing.

“Yaoyao, I’m back.”

Fang Yanran’s voice was barely audible, like a mosquito buzzing.

Lu Yunyao asked with concern, “How are you feeling?”

“I already went to the bathroom, and Fu Qianxing bought me pads.”

Lu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect him to be so helpful. But what did the doctor say after he carried you to the infirmary?”

Thinking about it made Fang Yanran want to disappear.

It was so embarrassing!

She stomped her foot shyly. “Ugh, don’t remind me! I was so mortified.”

“I told him it was fine, but he insisted on carrying me to the infirmary.”

“When we got there, the doctor said it was just my period, and I just needed some pain relievers.”

That silly Fu Qianxing had shouted the moment he entered the infirmary, attracting all the doctors’ and patients’ attention.

So everyone heard the doctor say, “The young lady just got her period. Hurry and get her some pads! Why is she even here?”

Lu Yunyao burst out laughing.

Her beautiful eyes curved like a crescent moon, bright and clean.

Fang Yanran pouted, distressed. “Yaoyao, even you’re laughing at me. Now I don’t know how to face Fu Qianxing. Ugh.”

She had never embarrassed herself this much in her life.

Lu Yunyao stifled her laughter and patted Fang Yanran’s arm. “It’s okay, once you get to know each other better, it won’t feel awkward.”

Fang Yanran let out a long sigh.

“By the way, Yaoyao, why do I feel like you haven’t had your period in a long time?”

When Lu Yunyao used to get her period, her husband would make her drink red date milk.

Fang Yanran knew about this.

But she hadn’t seen Lu Yunyao drinking red date milk in a long time.

“Because… because…”

Lu Yunyao hesitated for a long time, feeling it was time to tell her friend.

She pulled Fang Yanran to a corner where no one was around and whispered “Yanran, I’ll tell you a secret, but don’t tell anyone else.”

“Don’t worry, I promise to keep your secret.”

Lu Yunyao shyly said, “Actually, I’m… pregnant.”

Fang Yanran’s eyes widened in surprise, covering her mouth in shock.

“Yaoyao, you’re already…?”

Already pregnant?

But she was still so young!

Lu Yunyao nodded, gently stroking her abdomen.

“I’ve never felt the warmth of a family. It’s my husband who has given me a home. I believe that when our child is born into our family, they will definitely feel happiness.”

Hearing her say that eased the worry on Fang Yanran’s face.

“You’re right. Since this child is already on the way, we should welcome them with open arms.”

Ever since Yaoyao left her original home, her complexion had visibly improved.

Her cheeks were rosy, and she no longer looked as thin as when they first met; she radiated a refined elegance.

This was enough proof that her husband truly pampered her.

Given their financial stability and a husband who adored her, what was there to worry about when having a baby?

Lu Yunyao beamed with happiness and agreed, “You’re right. I want to embrace this child.”

“Yaoyao, can I gently touch your belly?”

“Of course.”

Lu Yunyao lowered her arms, and Fang Yanran reached out, gently placing her fingertip on her small belly.

Since the baby wasn’t very developed yet, it wasn’t visible from the outside.

However, just the thought of nurturing a new life filled Fang Yanran with excitement.

She earnestly reminded her:

“Yaoyao, you need to be extra careful since you’re pregnant. Luckily, when Yao Xuan’er asked you to carry water, you didn’t do it. Otherwise, it could have affected the baby.”

“You’re right, I will be careful.”

Lu Yunyao was very attentive to the baby, and she had considered everything Fang Yanran mentioned.

So when Yao Xuan’er asked her to carry water, she didn’t push herself to do it.

…

That evening, when Fang Yanran returned to the dorm, a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over her, soaking her completely.

“Ah—”

She screamed in surprise and looked up.

“Who did that?”

But the person who splashed the water quickly withdrew their head back onto the balcony.

Fang Yanran’s new clothes, which she had just changed into, were all drenched.

Fuming, she ran upstairs, found the dormitory where the water had been thrown from, and knocked on the door.

Oh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Wasn’t this the little follower who always stuck close to Yao Xuan’er?

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

The girl on the other side briefly showed a hint of guilt in her eyes. “What are you talking about? It’s too dry out, what’s wrong with splashing a little water on the balcony?”

“Can’t you see there are people downstairs?”

The girl rolled her eyes rudely and sneered, “I didn’t see anyone, who told you to walk under our dorm? You brought it on yourself.”

With that, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang, nearly hitting Fang Yanran’s nose.

Soaked from head to toe, Fang Yanran shivered and sneezed.

“What a bad day, talk about my luck.”

It was clear that this girl was following Yao Xuan’er’s orders, deliberately targeting her.

While Fang Yanran was angry, she also felt relieved.

Thankfully, it was her who got splashed, not Yaoyao otherwise, that would have been a disaster.

As she climbed the stairs, a sharp pain twisted in her lower abdomen.

“Yao Xuan’er, how can she be so cruel?”

Fang Yanran was on her period, and being drenched with cold water made her teeth chatter, her body couldn’t take it!

No, she had to hurry back to the dorm to shower and change, or she’d catch a cold.

Lu Yunyao called Fang Yanran.

“Yanran, when you returned to the dorm today, you didn’t run into Yao Xuan’er and the others, did you?”

Fang Yanran was drying her freshly washed hair. “No, don’t worry—Achoo!”

Before she could finish her sentence, she sneezed loudly.

Lu Yunyao’s voice sounded concerned. “Are you coming down with something?”

“No, I’m fine—Achoo! Achoo!”

Fang Yanran sneezed several times in a row.

She mentally cursed Yao Xuan’er and her friends.

What a bunch of uncivilized and uneducated people! How did they even get into their school?
