Chen Nan's heart chilled!
If a pregnant woman truly jumped into the lake and committed suicide!
Then it was possible for her to transform into a vengeful spirit and linger nearby after death!
After all, a fetus that had just formed would generate intense resentment!
Even with the flourishing academic atmosphere here, it wouldn't be enough to dispel the lingering spirits of mother and child!
At this moment!
He seemed to have grasped the reason for the decline of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department!
With a pair of vengeful spirits residing there, it would undoubtedly affect the department's luck!
"Remember what I said, don't go out at night. I'll bring you food when I get back." Sun Er said, changing into a black tracksuit, tidying his hair, and then leaving the dormitory!
Chen Nan had a video call with his several close female friends, reassuring them of his safety. Outside, the sky had also darkened.
He went to the top floor and surveyed the surroundings!
Though he hadn't used his qi observation technique, he had activated his Heavenly Eye, rendering any ghosts and monsters completely visible to him!
He repeatedly scanned the artificial lake but saw no anomalies!
Swish!
His figure flashed through the air!
The next moment, he appeared on the arched bridge!
A faint chill still lingered here!
But that was all!
Let alone any ghosts, not even a trace of ghostly energy was visible!
"Could it be that Sun Er was lying?" Chen Nan's brows furrowed tightly!
If it were about anything else, he wouldn't have been so concerned!
But Li Mu's intention in sending him here was to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Therefore!
Any factor that hindered the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine had to be guarded against!
If there truly was a vengeful mother and child here, then any effort he made would be in vain!
At this moment!
He received a WeChat message from Sun Er: "Brother Nan, Minmin and I are going to watch a movie first. We don't know when we'll be back tonight. If you can't wait, head to the cafeteria!"
"You damn son of a bitch!"
Chen Nan cursed with a laugh!
He had to admit, this kind of ordinary life was quite peaceful!
It allowed one to relax!
With nothing else to do, he sauntered out of the medical college!
Outside the school was a food street, offering all sorts of cuisines from across the country!
Since Sun Er had mentioned crayfish earlier, upon seeing the newly opened lobster restaurant in the distance, Chen Nan walked straight in, ordered two large portions of crayfish, and two bottles of beer!
Eating and drinking alone was also a kind of enjoyment!
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last had a quiet dinner by himself!
As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, his hearing was exceptionally keen!
He could hear the noisy chatter from his surroundings!
Of course, he could also block it out!
However, he found himself savoring the boastful talk of the diners after a few drinks!
As well as gossip!
And all sorts of trivial matters of daily life!
At this moment!
Chen Nan felt a long-lost sense of earthly warmth!
His restless heart was finally healed!
Just then, a woman's nervous voice rang out, sounding young: "Jing Hui, I'm pregnant, and I want to have this child!"
Chen Nan's ears perked up instantly: "Waiter, two more bottles of ice-cold beer!"
Waiter: "Please wait a moment!"
"Yuan Yuan, I don't advise you to have this child!" a deep voice reached Chen Nan's ears: "You are at a crucial stage of your postgraduate studies. You can't let a child derail your dream of pursuing your master's degree!"
Yuan Yuan: "No, my dream used to be to get into graduate school, but now, my dream is to live together with you and give birth to our child!"
"But... have you considered me?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I'm currently in a period of career advancement. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll become the head of the Western Medicine department next semester."
"If our relationship is exposed at this time, I'll lose everything. All my thirty years of hard work will be in vain!"
"Jing Hui, don't get agitated!" Yuan Yuan's tone revealed a hint of nervousness: "I know you have concerns, but I've already decided. I'll take a leave of absence in a few days and go back to my hometown to give birth to our child!"
"After you become the head of the Western Medicine department next week, we'll make our relationship public and hold a wedding ceremony and our child's full moon celebration together!"
Chen Nan sighed inwardly!
At the time when this woman named Yuan Yuan was so humble, it was already destined that their marriage would not be happy!
After all, the one who commits first in a relationship is often the loser!
Especially since they were both teachers and students!
This kind of romance was difficult to be blessed!
As expected, Jing Hui's voice confirmed his conjecture: "Yuan Yuan, I won't hide it from you anymore. For the past two years, I don't want a child!"
"It's not just that I don't like children; I just feel that we are still young and shouldn't be burdened by a child!"
"Didn't you tell me that your dream was to get into graduate school, pursue a doctorate, and then stay at the university?"
"I think this is great! Then we can commute together, live together!"
"Why must a child change all this beauty?"
"We are still young, we have plenty of time to have children in the future!"
"Listen to my advice, get an abortion!"
"Han Jing Hui, what exactly do you mean?" Yuan Yuan's voice was laced with a hint of tears: "You said the same thing two years ago when I was pregnant, and now that I'm about to graduate, you're still urging me to abort!"
"I told you, I love you for who you are, regardless of your position!"
"But you, you don't even mention marriage, and then you repeatedly urge me to abort. What does that mean?"
"Are you with me just to find a body to vent on?"
Han Jing Hui quickly said: "Yuan Yuan, don't get agitated, I didn't mean that... Can we both calm down about this matter?"
"My mind is really chaotic right now!"
" I've always felt I wasn't a competent boyfriend. And now you want me to be a father. Do you think I can play the role of a father well?"
"Please, don't force me to make a choice. Give me three days, and within three days, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Alright, I'll wait for your three days!" Yuan Yuan said, then got up and left.
"Am I a scumbag?"
Chen Nan picked up his glass and took a sip of ice-cold beer!
He had always considered himself a scumbag!
But!
Only today did he realize that he was nowhere near being a scumbag!
This man named Han Jing Hui was the true scumbag!
Unable to even give a basic promise, what else could he be but a scumbag!
As for him!
Heh heh!
He had promised not to marry any woman, and he would not break that promise!
That was a true man!
Han Jing Hui's voice rang out again: "Waiter, I'll move to the next table and bring me two sets of cutlery again!"
Just like that!
Han Jing Hui appeared at the table in front of Chen Nan!
In his thirties, dressed in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses!
He looked refined and cultured!
Not long after Han Jing Hui sat down, a figure walked in who Chen Nan found unbelievable!
