The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 1

The Transmigration Diary 1

“Is that Wen Shiyu?”

During the lunch hour, the main dining hall of Saint Windsor Girls’ Academy was teeming with people.

As a top-tier global aristocratic academy, even a standard dining hall featured gold-rimmed arched windows, black gold marble floors, and soaring ceilings. In such an elegant environment where etiquette was paramount, the arrival of an Asian girl caused a stir of hushed, skeptical whispers.

“I thought she had already dropped out…”

“Weren’t there rumors that her family went bankrupt…?”

“Heh, that lake-jumping incident? It was obviously just a ‘bitter meat’ trap performed for show, wasn’t it?”

“Does she think she can gain forgiveness that way?”

Malicious whispers spread like a tide. Wen Shiyu, the focus of these gazes, seemed not to hear a word. The black-haired girl walked straight toward the long buffet tables laden with food.

The silver serving dishes held escargot, caviar, rich foie gras, and exquisite dessert towers… luxury in the extreme. Her gaze swept over them but did not linger; she simply reached out and took a large amount of the most ordinary whole-wheat bread and soda crackers from the free section.

Then, carrying this meager tray, she walked toward an empty seat by the window at the edge of the restaurant.

This abnormal behavior naturally fell into countless pairs of scrutinizing eyes.

“Look! She doesn’t even dare take a proper dish, only the free bread… her family must really be in trouble.”

“To be fair… when Wen Shiyu is quiet and doesn’t speak, she’s actually… quite good-looking.”

“Are you crazy? Don’t forget how she used such vicious language to slander Seraphina! She actually implied Seraphina’s pocket money came from unclean sources… It’s absurd and laughable. Is there any family in this world wealthier than the blue-blooded Cavendishes?”

“I think the one who needs to worry about funding sources now is Wen Shiyu, right? Ha, if she can’t afford the tuition, I wonder if she’ll have to consider selling herself?”

The person who spoke the last sentence seemed to intentionally raise their voice, dripping with undisguised irony.

Wen Shiyu finally reacted. She stopped her movements, turned her head, and cast a calm gaze toward the direction of the voice.

The girls sitting at that table subconsciously straightened their backs, bracing for an expected explosion of shame, anger, or a shrill retort. That was the Wen Shiyu they knew.

However, nothing happened.

The girl just looked at them quietly. There was no anger in her eyes, no embarrassment, not even a ripple of emotion.

The light from the window happened to fall on the tips of her black hair. Her unadorned face was so clean it was almost transparent. Her features were distant and cool, exuding a sense of cold, quiet loneliness, like a white plum blossom blooming alone on a branch after the first snow.

She was a world away from the memory of the girl who always wore heavy makeup and sneered at the slightest provocation.

In that moment, many people who were secretly watching were stunned, a strange sense of astonishment flickering in their hearts.

Wen Shiyu… is she somehow different?

Feeling the atmosphere shift, Wen Shiyu actually felt a bit guilty. What’s wrong? Did they realize she isn’t the original owner of this body?

She blamed the fact that this aristocratic academy was set abroad and everyone spoke English. Just now, the background noise was too loud. She hadn’t understood a single word they said.

Yes. Wen Shiyu was an unlucky transmigrator.

The character she inhabited, who shared her name, was a “rich second generation” girl attending a foreign aristocratic girls’ academy alongside the “Mary Sue” protagonist, Seraphina.

Everyone who could enter this academy was either wealthy or noble. But the original Wen Shiyu’s family background was nothing compared to the main cast; normally, she would only be fit to be a background character.

The problem was, the original owner was mentally unstable.

Simply because she was eclipsed in beauty by the “all-loved” protagonist, she became twisted by jealousy. She began posting anonymous threads to defame Seraphina and spread nasty rumors. She even fantasized that the Alphas surrounding Seraphina were actually pursuing her and disliked Seraphina.

Because her methods were so clumsy, she was quickly found out, which only served to ruin her reputation further. She had forcibly transformed herself from a background character into the most hated person in school. In a way, she “successfully” caught everyone’s attention, earning the title of Seraphina’s arch-nemesis.

Later, the original owner’s family business ran into trouble. But even knowing the family was short on cash, she repeatedly demanded money, fantasizing that using more luxury goods would allow her to surpass Seraphina in elegance.

But the Cavendish family, where Seraphina belonged, was a true hereditary noble house and a top-tier financial conglomerate with unfathomable roots. No matter how the original owner struggled, she was merely a clown, providing a laughingstock for others.

Eventually, her family learned who she was provoking at school. They were furious and heartlessly cut off her living expenses, telling her to find a way to earn money and graduate on her own. The original owner couldn’t accept the breakdown and, in a fit of impulse, threatened to jump into the lake to end her life. Who would have thought she would actually slip and fall in?

Wen Shiyu had unexpectedly transmigrated in at exactly that moment. If the rescue team had been a moment later in pulling her out of the water, she might have died too. Even though she had recovered now, she still had to face this mess.

However, Wen Shiyu had been an orphan since childhood; optimism was the weapon she relied on for survival.

Never mind. Just eat. After finishing the meal, I have to figure out how to scrape together that astronomical tuition fee.

Seeing that Wen Shiyu ultimately just smiled and “broad-mindedly” put down her tray to start eating that tasteless bread, the other students were shocked.

Wen Shiyu actually… smiled at them? And she’s really eating the bread?

She actually looks quite pretty when she smiles…

No, no, that can’t be right. Is it… she looks better without makeup?

What exactly is different!

The girls who had just spoken the insults were even more dazed. They watched as Wen Shiyu sat alone by the window. The sunlight filtered through the clean glass, softly enveloping her. It made her slender hands holding the bread look so white they were almost transparent…

The young socialites blushed, and an absurd thought even crossed their minds: If Wen Shiyu really was willing to sell herself… maybe… someone in the academy really would be interested.

At that moment, a commotion even more total than before swept through the entire first-floor hall.

“Seraphina is here!”

Wen Shiyu instinctively looked up. At the restaurant entrance, as a girl walked in, the entire room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Even though she had seen her before, when Seraphina appeared unannounced in her field of vision, Wen Shiyu still felt her breath hitch slightly. One could only say that as the “all-loved” protagonist of a novel, Seraphina was like a princess who had stepped directly out of a fairy tale picture book—possessing a beauty that transcended words and hit with immense impact.

Saint Windsor was never short of beauty meticulously constructed with money and time, but as soon as Seraphina appeared, all the surrounding colors instantly dimmed and blurred, becoming a disorganized background to set her off. She was the only and absolute protagonist, naturally capturing everyone’s breath and gaze.

Half a step behind her followed another equally outstanding girl, an Alpha with a cold temperament. She was very tall, nearly 180cm. Her narrow eyes were slightly lowered, and her straight bridge and sharp jawline formed a face that was both heroic and beautiful. Her gaze was firmly fixed on Seraphina, focused and gentle.

This… must be the person the original owner used to like, right?

Wen Shiyu’s gaze unconsciously lingered on the two of them for a moment longer.

However, in the next instant, Seraphina suddenly looked up. Her gaze actually accurately pierced through the crowd and locked directly onto Wen Shiyu. Then, Seraphina frowned, and her pale, glass-like eyes quickly filled with clear rejection.

She led her friend and turned directly away, walking up the magnificent marble spiral staircase toward the exclusive private box area on the second floor.

It wasn’t until her figure completely disappeared at the turn of the stairs that the nearly frozen atmosphere in the hall quietly loosened. People seemed to finally wake up from a brief, awe-inspiring dream, beginning to breathe, whisper, and the noise gradually returned.

Many people instinctively turned their gazes back to Wen Shiyu by the window. According to usual practice, she should have been distorted with jealousy by now, or unable to stop herself from making some attention-grabbing scene.

But at this moment, Wen Shiyu had already looked away. She lowered her head again and, with the same rhythm as before, finished the last bit of food on her plate. Her posture even betrayed a strange sense of calm and elegance, as if she didn’t care about Seraphina at all.

This made even more people feel astonished. Is this still Wen Shiyu? Has Wen Shiyu really changed her nature??

Wen Shiyu, of course, was intentionally not looking. If possible, she still wanted to salvage the original owner’s reputation. Not to compete with the protagonist for the title of school beauty, but to become a “transparent person” in school again and graduate peacefully.

Just as Wen Shiyu finished her free bread and prepared to get up and leave:

“BANG!”

A muffled sound actually came from the second floor, followed by an increasingly obvious commotion and shouting. A young staff member in a waiter’s uniform, face pale, hurried down the stairs. Her voice was panicked as she yelled:

“Emergency notice! All Alpha and Omega students on the first floor, please evacuate the restaurant immediately in an orderly fashion! An Omega on the second floor has unexpectedly entered a heat cycle!”

An unexpected Omega heat in a public place was undoubtedly a top-level alarm. Nearby Alphas were highly likely to be triggered into losing control by the pheromones, and other Omegas faced the risk of chain induction. Evacuation was the standard emergency procedure.

But there was clearly a problem on site. The staff member added anxiously, “We don’t have enough manpower! If any Beta students are willing to help, please go to the second floor immediately!”

Betas were insensitive to pheromones, making them the ideal assistants at such a time. In the noisy and chaotic environment, Wen Shiyu managed to understand that an Omega needed help. She hesitated for a moment, then pushed back her chair and ran toward the stairs against the flow of people.

The layout of the second-floor restaurant was more exquisite and private, divided into many semi-open small areas with comfortable sofas and independent tables. On one side, a long table served various drinks.

Just as Wen Shiyu was struggling to squeeze her way up, a panicked girl accidentally pushed her. Wen Shiyu’s elbow hit the edge of the table.

“Crash!”

A full glass of deep purple plum wine splashed onto the front of Wen Shiyu’s shirt and coat. A rich alcoholic scent rose instantly. Wen Shiyu only stumbled slightly and frowned at the stain. She couldn’t worry about that now.

Stepping onto the second-floor platform, her eyes swept the area. Many people were gathered deep in the corridor around a private box door, forming a chaotic circle. One could vaguely see several Alpha students with flushed faces trying to push into the box, while at the door, a tall figure was struggling to block them.

It was exactly that female Alpha who had been following Seraphina, Su Yan. Her arms were spread wide like a barrier, veins slightly bulging at her temples as she pushed and shoved against the Alphas who were clearly in an abnormal state; a conflict was about to erupt.

Wen Shiyu could not smell the scent, so at this moment, she was the calmest person there. She quick-wittedly grabbed an outer coat dropped by some staff member, shouting “Move!” while using the chaos and pushing of the crowd to actually quite smoothly break through the encirclement and duck into that strictly guarded private box.

The light inside the box was soft. At a glance, she saw the Omega slumped over the round table.

It was actually Seraphina…

The girl was lying powerless against the edge of the table, her face buried deep in the crook of her arm, revealing only her bright red ear tips and the back of her neck. Her body was trembling slightly, clearly enduring immense discomfort.

Wen Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then felt glad she had decided to help. Carrying the reputation of being the protagonist’s arch-nemesis was not a good thing. This was a great opportunity to ease the relationship.

She locked the door, isolating the noise from outside. Then she stepped forward quickly and pulled her up.

Seraphina was startled. When she raised her head, her pale eyes were covered in a layer of mist due to the high fever. Her vision was blurred for quite a while before she managed to focus on Wen Shiyu’s face with difficulty.

“It’s… you?”
