Chapter 315: Then Let’s Try My Best, Make Her Pregnant!
What does it feel like to have your period?
Even though it feels uncomfortable, it’s not something Lin Yibai couldn’t handle.
She tried to stay calm, and with Xia Changyu carefully looking after her, she finally got through the most difficult time.
But little did she know, the real challenge was just beginning.
Lin Yibai might have been a bit careless. As someone who had just become a complete girl, she had no real idea about things like the “safe period.” She just lived her life the same way as before, not thinking much about it.
But Xia Changyu was different. As a guy, he had to think about more things, like, “Should we use protection? I think that’s the responsible thing to do.”
You can’t ignore the importance of safety just because things feel good in the moment. If you're not careful, something big might happen, like a pregnancy.
But then again…
Was protection really what he wanted? Xia Changyu didn’t think he was such a noble person.
In fact, he had made up his mind long ago. He truly wanted to be with Lin Yibai forever. So, yes, using protection shows responsibility.
But not using it, letting her get pregnant, wasn’t that also a form of responsibility?
He wanted to marry her and have a child together. That was his goal, and he meant it seriously.
After thinking about it for a long time and struggling with the decision...
Xia Changyu, now standing in a supermarket, finally put the box of condoms back on the shelf. No matter the type, material, or how they felt, he decided he didn’t need them.
“Then I’ll let her get pregnant…”
“Then I’ll marry her…”
“Then we’ll have a cute little baby. I can do it. I’ll take responsibility. That’s my promise…”
And honestly, he had made that promise to himself a long time ago.
He wasn’t sure how to label his actions. Did it make him a bad person?
He thought about whether he should talk to Lin Yibai about it, maybe remind her to be careful, and tell her about things like “safe days” and “risk days.” But selfishness got the better of him.
Just like how he secretly put the condoms back, he decided to keep that “helpful reminder” to himself. As long as Lin Yibai didn’t bring it up first, he would act like he didn’t know either.
So, the decision was made.
People might say it’s despicable to get married just because of a pregnancy. But even if they ended up doing that, Xia Changyu would still be super happy.
In his mind, he could already see the future. Still, he reminded himself.
‘If you really love Baiyi, then you have to take good care of her. Don’t be like those novels where the guy loves the girl so much, and she ends up leaving with the baby. Hmph!’
So now his goal was clear. No more talk.
Since the decision was made, just these words remained.
“Work hard!”
“Really work hard!”
If he planted the seed today, maybe next year he’d have a cute little baby rolling around.
Of course, making that happen was never an easy task.
After all, there’s no such thing as bad soil, only tired oxen.
Time Flies!!
After Lin Yibai got her second period, yes, you guessed it right, the "once-a-month meteor" came and went again.
The results of the provincial civil service exam were finally announced.
Lin Yibai was really nervous. This was the result of almost a year of hard work for her.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
Then she pressed the button to check her results. A few seconds later, a string of numbers appeared on the screen.
When she first saw the score, her face lit up a little. But when she looked at her ranking, she frowned slightly.
Xia Changyu, however, was feeling positive and said, “You got second place in the written test! Baiyi, all your hard work has really paid off, I’m proud of you!”
But Lin Yibai was still a bit upset. “But it’s only second place…”
Xia Changyu couldn’t help but laugh. He pointed to the ranking and said, “So what? The first place person only scored 0.6 points more than you.”
Lin Yibai gave him a playful humph. “You don’t get it. That tiny 0.6-point difference can decide the winner!”
Although she said that in a sad tone, you could still tell from her face that she was quite happy.
Getting second place in the written exam, and being less than a point behind the top scorer, that’s a result she could be proud of!
Besides, the real decision might happen in the interview. If someone stutters just once during their answer, that little gap could disappear.
Lin Yibai was confident. She wasn't afraid of such a small difference. In fact, she could proudly say, ‘The effort I put into this civil service exam isn’t any less than others! I even chose the HR position on purpose, thinking about what happens after I pass the interview.’
Over the past few months, she had seen all kinds of people come in for job interviews, maybe hundreds of them.
Some were nervous, some confident, some panicked, some tried to save themselves after messing up, some failed…
She saw it all with her own eyes.
Even if she hadn’t done it herself, she had seen enough to understand it all.
She knew every little trick in job interviews.
Of course, the civil service interview is different from regular job interviews. But in the end, the rules are still similar!
Xia Changyu thought for a moment and asked, “So, what do you want to do next? Want me to treat you to a big meal to celebrate? Or maybe we can go travel somewhere, how does that sound?”
Rewarding yourself like that? That’s definitely something worth celebrating!
You could say she already had one foot in the door to a stable government job.
But Lin Yibai was careful by nature.
Until everything was truly final, until she was officially hired, she wouldn’t call it a success.
She looked a little embarrassed and reached out her hand to Xia Changyu, saying,
“Um… I want to ask you a favor. Can I borrow some money from you? You know how it is, with an HR job, the monthly pay isn’t much. Most of my money goes to daily expenses, so I haven’t saved much. I want to borrow some so I can attend a training program for the civil service interview. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll pay you back later!”
Xia Changyu was stunned for a moment. Then he gave a bitter smile and sighed helplessly.
Sometimes, being too polite isn’t a good thing.
Right now, he actually wished Lin Yibai could be more direct, just ask him for money without holding back.
He wanted to scold her gently for being too formal, but in the end, he softened.
He gently touched her cheek and sighed, “To be honest, didn’t most of your money go toward me? Rent, water, electricity, groceries, meat, you cook so many delicious meals for me every day… And now you’re acting so careful just to borrow a bit of money from me? Aren’t I your boyfriend?”
Lin Yibai was surprised, “Huh?”
Xia Changyu said loudly and firmly, “I’m someone who wants to marry you!”
I’ve already decided, I want you to be my wife. Can’t you feel how much I love you?
A lot of your money has been spent on me. How could I ever let you feel wronged?
Right now, all I want is to love you more and take care of you well.
