Yang Xinyue suddenly opened her eyes, frantically clutching her clothes to protect her chest.

Shen Tang took a step forward and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, Xinyue, what happened to you?"

Yang Xinyue clutched her collar tightly and said慌张地, "No, nothing, just a mosquito bite."

Shen Tang frowned: "These mosquitoes are really fierce."

She turned to look at Ge Aihua, "Commander Ge, it looks like we need to spray some pesticide in the dormitory."

Upon hearing Shen Tang's words, Ge Aihua stepped forward to investigate.

Yang Xinyue clutched her chest tightly and looked nervously at the female doctor next to her.

"It's not a mosquito bite, it's eczema. Applying some medicine will do the trick," the female doctor said.

Shen Tang narrowed her eyes.

The female doctor was clearly helping Yang Xinyue cover it up.

But it doesn't matter, it's more fun to play slowly.

Shen Tang pulled the blanket up over Yang Xinyue's chest, a smile playing on his lips, and whispered in her ear:

"It looks like... it was bitten by a person."

Yang Xinyue suddenly raised her head, her face turning pale and then flushed.

Did Shen Tang discover something?

Was the person who threw the stone actually Shen Tang?

Also, why would Huo Xiuyuan be there in the middle of the night?

Did Huo Xiuyuan see her affair with Lu Jingshen?

One question after another swirled in her mind.

If Shen Tang or Huo Xiuyuan exposes her, she won't be able to join the performing arts troupe.

At that point, not only will his reputation be ruined, but Lu Jingshen will probably also be unable to stay at the garment factory.

Yang Xinyue's eyes were filled with panic; this uncertainty made her very uneasy.

"Get some rest," Shen Tang said gently as she stood up.

Yang Xinyue wasn't completely faking fainting; she was actually very weak.

She was a virgin, and Lu Jingshen was exceptionally rough, plus it had been a long, cold night.

The doctor advised her to rest for two days before resuming training.

Ge Aihua informed Yang Xinyue's parents, telling her to rest at home before coming back, and then returned home with her entourage.

As soon as the woman left, Yang Xinyue grabbed the female doctor's sleeve, tears streaming down her face.

"Aunt Song, you must not tell anyone."

The female doctor's name is Song Mei, and she is a good friend of Yang Xinyue's mother.

Song Mei walked over, closed the ward door, and said in a low voice:

"What happened to you, child? Were you bullied?"

She had watched Yang Xinyue grow up, and she simply couldn't believe that the child would be so casual.

Yang Xinyue clutched her collar tightly, biting her lip, unsure how to say it.

She can't exactly say that she slept with someone willingly, can she?

Seeing this, Song Mei understood the situation and didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, Yang Xinyue's mother, Wu Meijuan, rushed in.

"How come you've gotten sick after only a few days?"

Wu Meijuan touched Yang Xinyue's forehead with heartache.

"I'm fine, I just have a cold," Yang Xinyue said softly.

Song Mei gave Wu Meijuan a wink and led her out of the ward.

Yang Xinyue clenched her fists.

Since the deed is done, she'll accept whatever beatings or scoldings she gets.

"What?"

Wu Meijuan was so angry after hearing Song Mei's words that she almost lost her balance.

It must be that Lu Jingshen who deceived Xinyue!

No, she has to find out the truth; she absolutely cannot get pregnant.

Wu Meijuan returned to the ward, and Yang Xinyue lay on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Open your eyes," Wu Meijuan said coldly.

Yang Xinyue opened her eyes. She had never seen Wu Meijuan treat her so coldly before.

Wu Meijuan's eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly held them back.

"Is it Lu Jingshen?"

Yang Xinyue nodded.

Wu Meijuan lowered her voice and asked, "Did you... take any precautions?"

Yang Xinyue's face turned even redder. She bit her lip and nodded.

"That bastard, he planned this all along!"

Wu Meijuan finally couldn't hold back her tears. She was both glad that she had taken precautions and indignant at Lu Jingshen's shamelessness.

"Mom—" Yang Xinyue said, biting her lip, "Can you please not tell Dad? Dad will beat Lu Jingshen to death."

Wu Meijuan looked at her daughter and said angrily, "You're so hopeless!"

"How could you be so foolish? You gave yourself to him without even knowing what was going on. Besides..."

Wu Meijuan lowered her voice even further, "Besides, he's not divorced yet!"

Yang Xinyue's expression became resolute:

He will marry me.

Shen Tang has been married to Lu Jingshen for three years, but Lu Jingshen despises her and has never touched her.

But Lu Jingshen couldn't control his feelings for her; he must love her.

Wu Meijuan sighed heavily. "I won't tell your father about this. But you need to get Lu Jingshen to divorce his wife and marry you as soon as possible. Otherwise, your reputation..."

"Jing Shen said he would support me in joining the performing arts troupe to pursue my dream. So we're not in a rush to get married, but he will divorce Shen Tang as soon as possible."

Yang Xinyue's eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.

Wu Meijuan raised her hand and tapped Yang Xinyue's forehead:

"You silly child, you can give up joining the performing arts troupe, but you must get married. Our family can afford to support you."

Wu Meijuan was afraid that Lu Jingshen would deliberately drag things out and try to profit from both sides, and in the end, Xinyue would be the one who suffered.

"No," Yang Xinyue said, "Jing Shen said he likes girls with dreams, and he doesn't want me to be stuck at home."

Wu Meijuan sighed again. What could she do with this silly girl?

"No matter what, you can't let him touch you again," Wu Meijuan instructed. "You absolutely cannot get pregnant, understand?"

Yang Xinyue nodded. "I know what I'm doing."

Wu Meijuan took Yang Xinyue home, while Yang Aimin stayed at the factory and did not return.

Yang Xinyue lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

With her eyes closed, the image replayed in her mind over and over again—

Before she could react to the noise, Lu Jingshen had already let go of her, grabbed his coat, covered his head, and run away.

He ran so fast, completely disregarding the fact that he left her there alone.

She huddled alone in the corner, waiting for over an hour in the darkness and cold, before Sun Qian came to pick her up.

A wave of bittersweetness welled up in Yang Xinyue's heart.

She turned over and pulled the blanket tighter around herself.

Perhaps Lu Jingshen was doing it for her own good; if the two of them were caught at the same time, the matter would be confirmed.

Hooliganism is a crime punishable by imprisonment.

It's better that he ran away than that both of them were caught.

He probably can't sleep right now either, right?

Yang Xinyue looked out the window.

In the residential compound of the garment factory workers.

Lu Jingshen carefully crouched by the window, his eyes fixed on the front door.

I prayed silently, that no one would come.

It's unclear whether Yang Xinyue has been caught.

I hope the person who threw the stone was just playing a prank. I wonder if I even saw his face.

After shouting "Who's there?", he covered his head with his coat and ran across the path without daring to look back.

I hope I wasn't recognized!

He lay down and sat up, sat up and lay down again, his mind in complete turmoil.

Meanwhile, Shen Tang, in the training compound, slept soundly.

Wu Meijuan wanted Yang Xinyue to rest at home for another day, but Yang Xinyue simply couldn't stay still.

She was afraid that Shen Tang, Huo Xiuyuan, or someone else would expose her shameful secret.

As soon as Yang Xinyue entered the dormitory, she heard Zhao Wenjing shout:

"Hey, the one who went into the woods is back!"
