CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: IT’S OKAY, I DON’T FEEL BOTHERED

"You can’t go back to the dorm in this state, or..." Yin Meng looked at Yin Shixiu, "Uncle, just let Xiao Meng rest at your place for a few days?"

"Pfft... cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

Su Xiaomeng sputtered out the porridge she was eating, Yin Meng hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her, "Eat slower."

"Cough cough!" Su Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand and shook her head, her face turning red from choking, "No, no need to trouble Uncle! I’ll go back to the dorm! It’s okay!"

"At a time like this, why are you trying to be tough?" Yin Meng frowned, actually a bit angry!

"I... it’s really too much trouble for Uncle, or I’ll just go back to the hospital. I’ll listen to you and go back to the hospital, is that okay?"

"It’s fine, I don’t feel bothered."

Yin Shixiu suddenly said something, with his thumb still touching his lips, his expression was profound, making Su Xiaomeng feel a chill down her spine.

"No, no, no, it’s really too much trouble, I feel bothered, I have trouble sleeping on a different bed!"

Yin Meng rolled her eyes, "You have trouble with a bed? When you sleep deeply, you’re like a dead pig! Uncle didn’t say anything, why are you being so pretentious? It’s settled!"

"..." Su Xiaomeng’s heart was overwhelmed at this moment!

She couldn’t understand, why is it so difficult just to stay a bit away from someone?

Yin Meng, you’re not helping me recuperate, you’re pushing me into the fire pit!

Under Yin Meng’s glare, she ultimately lacked the courage and strength to resist, and could only eat her porridge quietly.

Yin Shixiu was out for work, and Yin Meng sat by the bedside looking at the frail Su Xiaomeng, she seemed to have tons to say but couldn’t start.

Su Xiaomeng saw her expression and knew what she wanted to say, so she spoke first, "I won’t keep this child."

"Do you really not know who the child’s father is?"

"No matter who it is, I won’t keep it. This child is just an accident, I’m only nineteen, I can’t possibly take any risks or responsibility for this unexpected accident."

"Have you thought it through?"

"Is there even anything to think about?" Su Xiaomeng said matter-of-factly, "Get rid of the child and return to normal. That’s it!"

"Since you’ve made up your mind, what do you need me to do?"

Yin Meng was only a year older than Su Xiaomeng, with her best friend facing such a situation, she was both shocked and clueless, not knowing what exactly to do to help her, and unsure of what truly counts as helping her...

They were both too young, lacking experience, lacking confidence, only able to explore through fear and panic.

Should we notify Xiaomeng’s parents, should we tell the teacher, or tell our own parents, would having a mature adult to give advice lead to a better decision?

But she also knew, Su Xiaomeng saying she doesn’t know who the father is leaves two possibilities, either she truly doesn’t know, or Su Xiaomeng refuses to mention it, neither of which would have a good outcome.

If this were made into a big deal for no reason, the one who would be most hurt would be Su Xiaomeng.

Looking at Yin Meng, Su Xiaomeng suddenly felt a deep sense of gratitude, her nose tingling...

She pulled Yin Meng’s hand to her cheek, her voice choked, "Meng Meng... Thank you..."

Yin Meng used her other hand to gently ruffle Su Xiaomeng’s hair.

Su Xiaomeng sniffed, then said, "I want you to keep a secret, don’t tell anyone."

"You can rest easy about that! What else?"

Su Xiaomeng smiled a little, "And... help me organize the Christmas Eve dance performance!"
