Chapter 1017: If He Loves You (3) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She said, "Why are you still thinking of whether he wants you or not? You should be thinking if you should keep him or not instead!"
The girl wiped her tears, her gaze sad and sorrowful, but shook her head. "But… But… I can"t let him go. I love him so much… I don"t want to break up with him. H-He promised that he would only love me forever. Why, why did he change so quickly?"
She turned to Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Is it because I"m pregnant? Because he isn"t ready to be a father? Do you think so? Also with regards to that girl— there are a lot of people who like him. I know that. He"d rejected a lot of confessions from girls when he was with me, so it can"t be that he"s had a change of heart. It must be because that girl is pestering him, right?"
Mu Xiaoxiao"s expression froze. She thought that the girl was being silly, but after thinking for a while, she nodded. "Yeah, it must be so! Give him a bit of time. If he really loves you, he"ll think it through clearly."
The girl laughed desolately. "Don"t lie to me… I know that he"s had a change of heart and doesn"t want me anymore. I was trying to lie to myself by thinking like that, but I just can"t.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, her gaze heavy. "Why are you doing something as foolish as wanting to jump down from a building if you already understand this? You know that he"s not worth it."
Perhaps she touched a sore point in the girl"s sadness, for she started to cry again.
"I don"t know what else to do… I wanted to abort the baby initially, but the doctor told me… there"s a problem with my womb. If I undergo the operation, there is a possibility that I won"t be able to have children in the future, and it would be life-threatening too…"
"What do you think I should do? Give birth to him? But my mom and dad…"
"No, I can"t give birth to him. How am I supposed to raise him if I give birth to him? I"m still a student. My life in the future… I don"t dare to imagine it. I"m so scared. I think I have lost hope in living. Is there a meaning to living so miserably? That"s not the kind of life I want!"
Mu Xiaoxiao"s 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 Xiaoxiao"s throat felt choked up. She didn"t know how to comfort her, and could only say in a soft voice, "Don"t cry… No one knows what will happen in the future. It might be different from what youimagined."
The girl shook her head. "No… Miracles don"t happen often. I am very aware of how cruel society is."
Mu Xiaoxiao observed her clothing and understood that she didn"t 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 scholars.h.i.+p 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 didn"t 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. "You"ve probably done it with Young Master Jie already, right?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Student Union turned their gazes towards Yin Shaojie.
