"So, Yaoyao, what are your plans?" Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yao.
Her intention was definitely that the child couldn't be kept. After all, her daughter was still so young, and she didn't even know who the child's father was. Most importantly, if the villagers found out, who knew what they would say behind her back.
Although the villagers had gossiped about them countless times before, it was precisely because of malicious gossip that she didn't want her daughter to be subjected to such discussions.
"Little sister, we can't keep this child. You're still a child yourself, how can you raise him?" Shen Huaisang looked at Shen Yao with concern, afraid she would be unhappy.
Shen Yao, a child who was over a thousand years old in total across two lives: ...
"Yaoyao, whatever you think, we will respect your decision." Father Shen, seeing his daughter's silence, understood her decision. Kuaishu Ge.
Shen Yao pondered for a moment, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I still want to keep them."
"Them?"
"Yes, I'm pregnant with twins." Shen Yao touched her stomach. "The father of the children is good-looking, so the children will definitely be beautiful. Imagine in a few more months, you'll have two identical, good-looking little meat buns calling you Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle."
Very well, with this description, the Shen family shamefully felt their hearts stirred!
"Besides, even without children, if I get married in the future and am bullied or abused, it would be the same as not having a husband. I'd still have to serve the in-laws, the husband, and the children..."
"After all, not all men are like Dad and Brother, who help take care of the family. What if I find a mama's boy?"
"Now I'm taking a shortcut. No marital conflicts, and I get two children for free. In my old age, I'll have filial piety, and I have money. Raising children alone is absolutely no problem."
After Shen Yao's speech, the more the Shen family thought about it, the more it made sense. Right, they weren't unable to raise children. So be it. And they were twins! It would indeed be a shame to abort them.
Thus, the Shen family all agreed to Shen Yao's decision and happily began discussing names for the children.
The two unborn little bundles had already acquired their nicknames, regardless of gender, they would be called Tuanzi and Jiaozi. These two names followed the naming of Yuanzi.
As for the formal names, Shen Jun took it upon himself to handle them and then took out the Xinhua Dictionary to start his research.
Pregnant Shen Yao was confined to her home. Not only was she forbidden from going up the mountain, but she was also not allowed to go to the fields. She spent her days staring blankly at Mo Xuan at home.
Mo Xuan had been given a mission to follow Shen Yao closely and prevent her from wandering off.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yanan, who had returned home with Father Zhou, directly startled her mother upon entering the house.
"Nannan, you, why did you suddenly confess!" Mother Zhou exclaimed, pulling her daughter to examine her from head to toe.
Zhou Yanan was pleased with her mother's reaction. "It's all thanks to Yaoyao. Mom, you don't know how amazing Yaoyao is. She just gave me a few herbs, chopped them up, and applied them to my face. In 10 minutes, just 10 minutes, and I became fairer."
Mother and Father Zhou, true to their marital bond, spoke in unison: "Is it really that miraculous? Are there any side effects?"
"Mom, don't worry. Yaoyao would never harm me," Zhou Yanan said. Shen Yao was now like a goddess in her eyes!
"Is it really that good? Then give some to Mom too." Mother Zhou's eyes were shining. Indeed, no woman dislikes beauty.
Zhou Yanan: "That's exactly what I planned. Yaoyao gave me a lot, and I haven't used it all yet. I'll make it for you tonight."
Mother Zhou couldn't wait until tonight. "No, right now. Come on, let's go back to the room!"
Mother Zhou pulled Zhou Yanan back into the room.
When she came downstairs again, she was several shades fairer, and looked much younger.
"So beautiful!" Father Zhou praised sincerely after seeing the change in Mother Zhou.
Zhou Yanan stayed home for a day, then returned to the capital with Father Zhou. Father Zhou went to the capital regarding the lychees, while Zhou Yanan returned to school.
Zhou Yanan was arguably the darkest-skinned girl in the entire school. Coupled with her good looks, many people at school recognized her.
So, as soon as she entered the school gate, she was spotted by many people. Although she had become fairer, her appearance hadn't changed.
"My God, is that the dark beauty Zhou Yanan? How did she become fairer!"
"I haven't seen her at school for the past two days. Did she have some cosmetic surgery? Otherwise, how could she suddenly become so fair!"
"Get real. What kind of cosmetic clinic has this effect? Tell me, I want to go too!"
"Exactly. If there were any clinic that could achieve this effect, the advertisements would be flying everywhere!"
"Wuwu... Senior Yanan after becoming fairer is simply too cool. I love it, she's so commanding!"
"Please, great beauty, share your secret to whitening, please!"
...
Zhou Yanan's transformation was immediately posted on the campus network.
As soon as these pictures went up, they were instantly swarmed by curious schoolmates.
"Is this Zhou Yanan? Don't lie to me. Everyone knows Zhou Yanan is as dark as can be!"
"Come on, the photoshopping is too severe. Look, it's overexposed."
"If I hadn't seen Senior Zhou just a few days ago, I might have believed it."
"Don't disbelieve, the person upstairs. I have a video here. As everyone knows, videos can't be photoshopped. [Video]"
The schoolmates who watched the video fell silent, because the video was truly unedited and photoshopped; it was a full motion picture.
In it, Zhou Yanan was glowing with fairness, her aura making people's legs tremble!
As such, Xia Zhao and Wang Qianqian, who were avid internet surfers, already knew about it before Zhou Yanan returned to the dormitory.
When Zhou Yanan pushed the door open and entered, she saw her two friends looking at her with glowing eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, let go! You're rubbing off my skin!"
"Ouch, it's real!"
Amidst Zhou Yanan's wails, Xia Zhao and Wang Qianqian finally confirmed that Zhou Yanan had not used any high technology.
Wang Qianqian: "Tell us, how did you become fairer? Speak the truth and be lenient, resist and be severe!"
"Yes, if you don't tell the truth, we'll have to resort to harsh interrogation!" Xia Zhao said, flexing her hands.
Zhou Yanan: "I'm telling, I'm telling!"
Then Xia Zhao and Wang Qianqian listened to a process of beautification that sounded like a fairy tale.
"Where did Yaoyao find such good stuff?" Wang Qianqian was utterly shocked, her eyes shining with brilliance.
"I don't know. Yaoyao said she grew it herself. And didn't she also mail some to you guys?" Zhou Yanan asked, puzzled.
She and Yaoyao had packed that express delivery together, and it had flown away via express delivery overnight!
When Xia Zhao and Wang Qianqian heard this, they suddenly remembered the herbs they had thrown into the cardboard boxes that morning.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the two of them rushed to the floor where the cardboard boxes were stacked.
After searching for a long time, they finally dug out the cardboard box they had discarded from the bottom.
