Zhou Xitong felt a tightness in her heart when she heard the news from others.
Could there be someone else who was pregnant like her?
That pregnancy test definitely wasn’t hers.
Indeed, Zhou Xitong had secretly bought one to use, but it was in her off-campus house.
How could she be foolish enough to throw it in the school’s bathroom?
In the cafeteria, a few girls gathered together, discussing the matter.
Zhou Xitong, naturally sitting in the center as the star among them, was now lost in a haze.
The girl with short hair, completely unaware of Zhou Xitong’s distraction, continued to gossip with everyone.
"Do you think it’s Liu Xixi from the next class? I’ve noticed she’s been looking quite haggard recently and often falls asleep in class. Isn’t it said that you get very sleepy when you’re newly pregnant?"
Someone felt differently, "She’s always like that and even gets joked about as the ’sleep goddess’ by her roommates. I think it’s more likely Li Xiaoming, I ran into her in the cafeteria yesterday, and she ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup, maybe it’s a craving for sour and spicy?"
"That doesn’t really prove anything, don’t you ever watch TV? Pregnant people are usually especially prone to vomiting..."
Just then, Zhou Xitong covered her mouth, retching a few times.
The girls laughed heartily, giving her face.
"Xitong is too funny, just like that."
"You imitated it so well."
The cafeteria was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Zhou Xitong hurriedly drank some water and forced a smile, but inside, she felt terrified.
She suddenly realized that the scariest thing now was not whose pregnancy test it actually was.
but that everyone would start thinking in that direction.
If her unusual behavior was discovered by someone with an agenda and reported to the school, everything could no longer be concealed.
Thinking this, Zhou Xitong broke out in a cold sweat.
As others were still chattering away, she suddenly pushed her tray and stood up.
"I’m full, I’m going back to the dorm."
The rest looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
"What’s up with Princess Zhou again? Did we say something wrong?"
"Her mood swings are nothing new—always up and down, who knows."
"But haven’t you guys noticed that Zhou Xitong’s mood has been particularly weird lately? And she seems a bit out of spirits, couldn’t it be—"
"What? Really? You know, I think I even saw her throwing up in the utility room a couple of days ago. I thought she had eaten something bad."
Everyone gasped, "Could it be her? No way!"
Zhou Xitong sat in her dorm room, her mind in turmoil, feeling as though this was a conspiracy.
Perhaps that pregnancy test was deliberately placed by someone just to make people suspect her.
But the test showed two lines, didn’t it? Maybe someone else was pregnant too.
Zhou Xitong felt like her head was about to explode, and a dull pain came from her lower abdomen.
She held her stomach, both angry and resentful, suddenly recalling the night she had met Yue Qingqing.
Meanwhile, the school naturally became involved in this matter.
After all, it was a major issue related to the school’s ethos and discipline.
They had to find out whose pregnancy test it was, whether it was related to someone outside of school, or was it a male student from within the school?
Either way, such a student must be expelled, not kept at the school as a bad example, whether it was one person or a couple.
Otherwise, if others followed suit, how could the school remain a clean environment?
Moreover, if this incident were reported by the media, it would cause irreparable damage to the reputation of Lingguang No. 1 Middle School.
Later, when parents thought of this school, they wouldn’t remember the great teachers and top-scorers, but the scandal of students getting pregnant due to lapses in the school’s ethos.
The school leaders would never allow their years of effort to be ruined by this one incident.
"We must investigate, we must find this person!"
