The plastic bag was transparent, and the words "pregnancy test" were printed on the outside of the packaging. Song Jingye looked at those three words and was stunned for a long time, his heart beating even harder than after he finished running 50 kilograms uphill off-road training.
Chen Ning snatched back the pregnancy test stick, not knowing what to say. She ran headfirst towards her apartment, entered the building, got into the elevator, and just as she was about to close the door, Song Jingye caught up with her. He wore black short boots and blocked the elevator door with his foot, squeezing in.
Chen Ning clutched the pregnancy test stick tightly in her hand, countless thoughts popping up, wondering how to face this situation. What if, just what if she was really pregnant, how would she handle it?
After Song Jingye squeezed in, he kept looking at her, his intense aura enveloping her. He seemed to want to say something but never did, the shock he received didn't seem any less than hers.
Only after he entered her apartment did he calm down, his voice carrying his characteristic steadiness and reassurance: "I'm waiting for you outside. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chen Ning didn't say anything, she took the pregnancy test and went straight to the restroom. Her hands were shaking as she opened the package, and even when it was time, she didn't have the courage to look at the result.
Because she had been in the bathroom for too long, and during that time, Song Jingye had also looked up instructions on his phone and how long it took to see the results, so seeing that she hadn't come out for a long time, he stood at the bathroom door and knocked: "Ning Hui, are you done yet?"
He takes full responsibility for this kind of situation, with no excuses. He also understands why she's been out of it since dinner tonight, probably scared out of her wits. So he should be the one to stay calm.
A man's psychological quality is reflected in...
At times like this.
Chen Ning really was frightened. She came out, but the pregnancy test stick was still in the bathroom. "I don't dare to look,"
She blurted it out, then lay back on the bed like an ostrich trying to bury its head in the sand.
"Okay, no problem. I see."
Song Jingye immediately went into the restroom. He saw her place the pregnancy test stick on the sink, and when he went over to look at the results, countless plans had already flashed through his mind. If she was really pregnant, he would definitely take responsibility, for her and for the child.
So without hesitation, I picked up the pregnancy test and looked.
Two red lines, one dark and one light.
He just checked, and this shows that she's pregnant.
At that moment, he felt no regret or fear. His first reaction was that he was going to be a father?
He came out of the bathroom, and Chen Ning lay back on the bed, covered in a quilt, with only her face showing. Her big eyes stared at him expectantly, like a condemned prisoner awaiting his sentence.
"Uncle, you say," her voice trembled.
Song Jingye evaded the question and said, "Should you change how you address me? Otherwise, your children will be confused about their seniority later on."
He spoke in a lighter tone, without directly answering, but Chen Ling instantly understood his meaning. Was she pregnant?
My head was pounding, as if it had been crushed. I couldn't think straight. Suddenly, I pulled the covers over my face, refusing to face him or this situation.
Although she loved Sō Kyōno very much, she knew that now was simply not the right time to be pregnant. It wasn't the right time to have this child. This was the ultimate punishment for her moment of drunken passion. Life was a series of steps, and she couldn't afford to make even one wrong turn.

She felt like she was being pulled into a black hole, trying to claw her way out but unable to move.

And this is all her own doing.
Song Jingye sat at the edge of her bed. Even though she was completely wrapped in blankets, he could see that she was shivering and perhaps crying inside. He leaned down and hugged her, pulling the covers over both of them.
He wasn't unshocked. Seeing the little girl he grew up with pregnant with his child, if it had been half a year ago, he would have thought it was out of this world.

But since things have already happened, in her panic, he was a man who had to remain calm and take responsibility.
He lifted the corner of her blanket, revealing her face. It was pale, cold, but she wasn't crying.
He kissed her icy forehead and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I believe we'll be wonderful parents. We can get married, raise our child together."
He has simple thoughts in life or relationships, no unnecessary twists and turns. He says what he thinks.
Since he had his child, marriage was his only option.
But marriage?
Chen Ling was taken aback by these two words. She didn't expect to hear them from him.
She shook her head. "No."
In Song Jingye's view, the question was simple. He was single, she was single, they had a child together, and marriage was the best option.
"Because you don't love me." There were too many reasons, this was just one of them, and the most important. She didn't want their relationship to be based on duty, nor did she want to make things difficult for him. Besides, her career was just starting out, now wasn't the time to have a child.
Song Jingye's face changed slightly upon hearing this. Until now, did love truly matter so much? He would spend his life treating her well, treating the child well, and being faithful to her. Wasn't that enough?
Chen Ning replied very firmly.
She shook her head. That night was her own choice, even if she was now panicked and feeling lost like she'd been thrown into a black hole, everything was her choice. She had to bear the consequences, good or bad. That he could make such a decision so quickly was enough for her.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I'm so sorry." Her voice suddenly choked up, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face, and she covered her head with the blanket again, not wanting him to see her like this.
Everything is her own fault, she shouldn't have dragged him into this.
As soon as she started crying, Song Jingye became flustered. He was worried she was holding it in and wanted to pull the covers back for her, but he couldn't. He could only hold her tightly from outside.
“I’m a little overwhelmed right now, I think I need some time alone.” she mumbled quietly from under the covers after a long silence.
Song Jingye also felt that her emotions were fluctuating greatly here, so she said, "Okay, it's not too late. You should get a good rest. I've got everything under control."
Then he hugged her again and turned to leave.
But she didn't go far, just staying downstairs at her house.
He sat in his Jeep all night, not moving an inch, thinking about a lot of things.
He had always been focused on his career and, surrounded by men, his emotional world was empty. He had never even thought about love until he met YaoYao. She opened a door in his heart, letting him experience the taste of love, but because he couldn't love or dared not love, he mostly felt suppressed pain.
He has been thinking all along, what is love?
Is it the feeling of first love he has for Yaoyao, or the deep care and sense of responsibility he feels towards Chenning?
He said he wanted to marry her, even though it was because of this sudden child, but he didn't mind, and even felt he could look forward to it.

All night, I couldn't figure it out, it was unsolvable.
When the sky began to lighten with the first blush of dawn, he sank back into his chair and fell asleep.
Chen Ning also stayed up all night. Her life had just begun, she had her own plans, and she didn't want to be trapped in reality by a child.
But this child, she and Song Jingye's, she certainly couldn't bear to give up.
