The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 14

Transmigration Diary 14

Wait, if she did that, wouldn’t she misunderstand and think she liked Seraphina?

Wen Shiyu hesitated for a moment, then braced herself and said, “Then… do I still like you?”

“No, no,” Wen Shiyu reacted quickly. “Right now, my heart is set only on studying hard and making progress every day!”

Su Yan’s expression made it seem like she thought Wen Shiyu was just too embarrassed to admit it, and she let out a soft sigh.

Her hand finally pressed against the back of Wen Shiyu’s neck.

“Mm, don’t like me anymore. I’m not actually that great.”

Wen Shiyu: “…” True. You’re actually quite terrifying.

“You should focus all your attention on your studies.”

Su Yan spoke like a Dean of Students, while her fingertips—which carried a hint of thin calluses—traced the back of Wen Shiyu’s neck.

First, she lingered at the softest indentation just below the back of the ear. Then, following the line of the side of the neck, she very slowly kneaded and massaged downward, stroke by stroke.

She massaged for a long time without letting go.

Wen Shiyu couldn’t help but ask, “…Is it not done yet?”

Just then, a phone rang, breaking the stagnant air in the laboratory.

Wen Shiyu hurriedly fished her phone out of her pocket.

It was a text message from Seraphina.

Wen Shiyu told Su Yan, “Seraphina is asking what I’m doing.”

Su Yan: “Shouldn’t she know that we are in the laboratory?”

“That’s true, but…” Wen Shiyu suddenly felt a bit worried about Seraphina.

“Maybe… she’s feeling a bit unwell and wants me to go back early?”

Su Yan pondered for a moment before finally nodding. “Alright, let’s end it here for today.”

“We’ll settle on using this one.”

“I’ll start the timer now. On the way back, we can continue to confirm the decay rate in the car.”

The two of them produced more of the pheromone and then drove back.

Midway through, Wen Shiyu slapped her thigh as she suddenly remembered. She had left behind the necklace Seraphina gave her. They were already quite far away.

Su Yan was taken aback. “That necklace… shouldn’t be hard to find. I’ll have someone deliver a new one of the same style to the school gate; it shouldn’t take too long.”

Wen Shiyu: “But… I already told Seraphina on the phone that I’d be back immediately.”

Su Yan shook her head.

“No, you can’t go back right now. The scent is still a bit too strong. Since it’s the first time, it’s best to control it to a point where it’s almost invisible so she won’t get suspicious.”

As a result, Wen Shiyu ended up stranded in Su Yan’s car.

The two of them went for a few laps around the area. During this time, Seraphina even called Wen Shiyu. Wen Shiyu could only vaguely state that she was almost there.

Finally, Su Yan took a call. The collar had arrived.

Only then did the car slowly drive into St. Windsor Academy.

Along the way, the girls on both sides of the road were immediately attracted to the black sedan.

It was for no other reason than the fact that anyone who paid even slight attention to the academy’s top social circles knew this was one of Student Council President Su Yan’s personal vehicles.

Wen Shiyu felt the gazes around her as if they were physical weights.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable and instinctively raised her hand to hide her face.

“Su Yan, you… where did you agree to pick up the necklace?”

Su Yan seemed puzzled upon hearing this. She had long been accustomed to being the center of attention wherever she went.

“Anywhere is fine; the other party will cooperate. Why?”

“Can we… find a place where there’s no one?”

“…”

Su Yan had seen people who, when acting with her, intentionally wanted others to see them to show off. This was the first time she had met someone who specifically didn’t want to be seen.

She couldn’t help but steal another glance at Wen Shiyu.

“…Alright.”

The sedan then steered away from the school’s main road again.

Just as the shadow of their car faded into the distance, the whispers left behind instantly exploded.

“That was Su Yan’s car that just passed, right? Definitely!”

“Absolutely! I remember her license plate number perfectly.”

“Ah, so lucky to have an encounter with the President’s car.”

“…Was there someone in the passenger seat just now? But the silhouette didn’t really look like Seraphina, nor did it look like Xia Te.”

“Then who could it be? President Su Yan rarely carries anyone alone… unless it’s someone particularly close.”

“I think I caught a glimpse of a profile… why did it look a bit like… that Wen Shiyu?”

“Wen Shiyu??”

“Please, you must have seen it wrong, right?”

After Su Yan shook off the crowd, she intentionally looked for a secluded side gate of the school.

When she got out to retrieve the necklace and sat back in the driver’s seat, the sky had already darkened, and the light inside the car became hazy.

Su Yan opened the dust bag and signaled for Wen Shiyu to come closer.

Wen Shiyu leaned over. But the space inside the car was limited, and Su Yan’s movements were inevitably a bit cramped.

She tried to wrap the collar around Wen Shiyu’s neck to fasten it, but she didn’t want to touch the back of her neck too much. In her nervousness, she became clumsy instead…

“Uh?” Wen Shiyu felt her neck being suddenly jerked. It was a bit tight, and she wanted to dodge.

“Don’t move.”

“It’s fine.”

Su Yan pressed down on her neck, wanting to help her loosen it, but Wen Shiyu instinctively backed away, wanting to do it herself.

As a result of their pushing and shoving, Wen Shiyu’s elbow accidentally pressed against the control panel on the car door beside her.

With a soft “click,” the passenger side window slowly began to roll down.

The cool evening breeze rushed in instantly, and along with it came the shocked faces of several classmates who happened to be passing by outside the car.

The world went silent in that moment.

Wen Shiyu—who had not long ago been publicly fitted with a collar by Seraphina—was now actually being pinned against her seat in an almost-confining, forceful posture by another legendary figure of the academy, the notoriously cold and rigorous Student Council President Su Yan.

The President was even holding a collar in her hand that was extremely similar in style to the one gifted by Seraphina, seemingly trying to force it onto Wen Shiyu…

The dramatic tension was so high that it made one involuntarily imagine several melodramatic soap operas.

Several students couldn’t help but widen their eyes, gasping at this unexpected “big scoop” while covering their mouths.

Wen Shiyu completely froze.

Even Su Yan was stunned, taking a long time before remembering to press the button to roll the window back up.

Whirrr— The window rose slowly. Then, both inside and outside the car fell into a deathly silence.

Why does rolling the window up make it feel even harder to explain??

Finally, Wen Shiyu loosened the necklace on her neck herself and weakly squeezed out the words, “Quick, let’s go.”

Su Yan took a deep breath, restarted the car, and drove away from that den of gossip at maximum speed.

When she finally saw Seraphina, Wen Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Seraphina was clearly already a bit angry.

She was sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a small blanket. Xia Te was there with her, and even when she saw Wen Shiyu come in, she didn’t acknowledge her.

Since the family’s finances were still being controlled, Wen Shiyu could only pleasingly walk over herself and sit down at the other end of the sofa. “Seraphina… are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Seraphina pursed her lips and finally looked at her. She was originally going to say she was fine, but she could tell something was wrong at a single glance.

“Wen Shiyu, where is the choker I gave you?”

Wen Shiyu was stunned and tried to explain.

“Uh, that… when we were doing the pheromone collection, didn’t I… take it off? And then I forgot to put it back on when I left…”

Seraphina became even more suspicious. “Then what’s the deal with this new one??”

“…” Wen Shiyu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Damn it, I’ve outsmarted myself.

On the side, Xia Te rested her chin on her hand, watching the scene with great interest, her golden eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

Just then, Su Yan also walked in.

She didn’t seem to notice the subtle atmosphere in the living room, her gaze going directly to Seraphina. Her tone carried its usual concern: “Seraphina, how are you feeling? Are you still uncomfortable?”

Being asked by Su Yan, Seraphina could only temporarily suppress her anger and respond half-heartedly, “I’m… okay.”

But anyone could see her complexion wasn’t good; the rims of her eyes were even slightly red. It was obvious she had vomited earlier and hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Seeing this, Wen Shiyu immediately reached out and grabbed Seraphina’s hand, which was resting on the sofa.

“It’s okay, haven’t I come back now?” Wen Shiyu said intentionally, “Just hold hands like this for a while, and it’ll get better in a bit.”

Seraphina: “…”

Looking at Wen Shiyu’s “I am very seriously comforting you” expression, she instantly understood.

This girl is using this ‘hand-holding therapy’ to fool Su Yan and the others!

The four of them sat and chatted for a while. Later, Su Yan likely saw that Seraphina’s mood was low, so she left the bedroom with Xia Te.

Seeing them go, Wen Shiyu hurried closer and whispered, “…Do you want a kiss?”

“No.” Seraphina refused immediately.

“But aren’t you suffering?” Wen Shiyu asked, puzzled.

“I don’t want your kisses even if I’m suffering!” Seraphina turned her head and glared at her.

“…Why?”

“There is no ‘why’.”

Even as she said that, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Shiyu’s collar. With her brow furrowed, she unfastened the new choker on Wen Shiyu’s neck and arrogantly tossed it aside.

Then, her movements paused. She brought her nose close to the skin on the side of Wen Shiyu’s neck and sniffed carefully. “What is this scent?”

“What scent?” Wen Shiyu tried her best to play dumb.

“Isn’t this just… the scent from your body?”

“?” Seraphina leaned in closer to sniff again, her frown deepening.

Wen Shiyu, however, worriedly glanced at the door.

Su Yan and Xia Te could return at any moment. If Seraphina remained in a bad state, Su Yan would surely become suspicious and discover her previous lie about the “method of comfort.”

Moreover, she would inevitably have to act with the trio frequently in the future; opportunities for being alone like this probably wouldn’t come often.

She still had to make Seraphina get better quickly.

“How about… let’s just have one kiss?” Wen Shiyu proposed again.

“I don’t want to! Go find my collar and bring it back.”

“But I left it in the lab… to get it back, I’d have to go back with Su Yan again.” Wen Shiyu said awkwardly.

“No, you’re not allowed to go,” Seraphina vetoed immediately.

“Then how am I supposed to find it…”

“Naturally, you should never have taken it off in the first place!” Seraphina said huffily, her cheeks flushing slightly from her agitation, her breathing becoming a bit hurried.

Looking at her like this, Wen Shiyu suddenly realized that the other girl might not actually be acting unreasonably for the sake of it—it was likely that her emotions were truly unstable due to the “pseudopregnancy” condition.

She stopped talking and directly leaned in, gently kissing Seraphina.

“Mmph…” Seraphina stiffened at first, offering a symbolic push of rejection while mumbling a protest: “No… I hate you…”

But very quickly, her resistance became powerless…
