The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 15
Transmigration Diary 15
In the hallway outside.
Xia Te blinked and asked Su Yan in a lighthearted tone, “So, how did it go? Was your time with Wen Shiyu today… smooth?”
Su Yan assumed she was inquiring about the progress of the pheromone perfume.
“We’ve selected the pheromone formula. In a month or two at most, we should be able to prepare the perfume for Seraphina.”
Xia Te nodded, the smile on her face unchanging. “That’s great. You two should keep up the hard work.”
She placed a deliberate emphasis on the word “you.”
Su Yan shot her a strange look, unable to quite read her. Finally, she gave a simple response.
“Mm.”
Inside the bedroom, Seraphina had already closed her eyes. Her arms slowly wound around Wen Shiyu’s neck, and she even unconsciously leaned back a little, drawing Wen Shiyu down with her.
Wen Shiyu could only follow the momentum to deepen the kiss, all while keeping her ears pricked, alert to any movement outside the door.
Whether it was because she was distracted or not, by the time Wen Shiyu realized it, the flavor of the kiss had changed.
It didn’t feel like a simple transmission of pheromones anymore…
Seraphina kept pressing closer to her, her knees unconsciously rubbing against her…
Wen Shiyu felt her face heating up for no reason. In the gaps between breaths, she whispered a reminder to the whimpering Seraphina in her arms.
“Shh… don’t make a sound…”
Seraphina’s eyes were tinged with red as she stubbornly replied, “…I didn’t.”
“Alright, alright…”
Wen Shiyu helplessly humored her, listening carefully to the outside again. There seemed to be no sign of anyone returning yet.
She tentatively asked, “Do you… still need more?”
Seraphina refused to give a clear answer. She simply closed her eyes again, her long eyelashes trembling.
Wen Shiyu just lowered her head.
The two of them kissed secretly and silently on the sofa like this, with Wen Shiyu keeping half her mind focused on the door.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear faint footsteps.
Startled, she quickly raised her hand to cover Seraphina’s mouth and nose, cutting the kiss short.
“Mm…” Seraphina, who was immersed in a daze, was caught off guard by the abrupt covering of her mouth and nose. Instead of struggling, her heart raced, her whole body went limp, and her head spun so much she couldn’t even muster the strength to resist.
Wen Shiyu listened carefully for a few seconds; the sound seemed to recede.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and turned back, she met Seraphina’s watery eyes—and saw the fluffy rabbit ears that had quietly sprouted atop her head at some point.
Wen Shiyu blushed instantly. “Seraphina, you’re doing it again…”
If Su Yan or Xia Te saw this, how would she explain it?
Seraphina slowly regained her senses and realized her loss of composure. She hurriedly reached up to grab her own ears, her face turning crimson. She frantically chanted in her mind: Stupid things. Go back, go back!
Precisely at that moment, the living room door was pushed open. Su Yan walked in carrying a tray with a bowl of steaming porridge.
The moment she entered, she saw Wen Shiyu half-holding Seraphina, while Seraphina herself was almost entirely curled up under a blanket, not even showing her head.
Su Yan arched an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Wen Shiyu replied, “Nothing. Ah, wrapping her in the blanket helps her rest better and… well, helps her smell the pheromones better…”
She looked calm on the surface, but she had actually yanked the blanket over at the very last second. Her heart was still thumping in her chest.
Seraphina cooperated by hiding in Wen Shiyu’s arms, clutching the blanket tightly.
Su Yan looked skeptical, her gaze scanning between the two of them. She set the tray down and took a few steps closer.
“Let her eat something first. It’ll warm her stomach and make her feel better.”
As she spoke, she reached out as if to lift the thin blanket covering Seraphina.
Wen Shiyu’s heart tightened, and she instinctively gripped the blanket tighter. She looked up to meet Su Yan’s eyes and laughed awkwardly. “Hahaha, the porridge smells so good! Can I have some? I’m a bit hungry…”
Su Yan paused, then said, “…There’s plenty of porridge. I didn’t say you couldn’t eat.”
At that moment, Seraphina’s voice came from under the blanket: “Su Yan, you should leave first… I don’t want to eat.”
Su Yan’s brow furrowed. “Is it that bad? …Maybe I should call the doctor to take a look.”
“No need,” Seraphina refused immediately. “I just… need to slow down and rest for a bit.”
But Su Yan was clearly uneasy. She looked at the huddled Seraphina, then at Wen Shiyu’s awkward posture, her frown deepening.
“No, the doctor needs to check. Wait here.” With that, she turned and walked out quickly.
The moment the door closed, Seraphina peeked out from the edge of the blanket, her cheeks still flushed.
“What do we do?” Wen Shiyu whispered.
Seraphina didn’t want anyone else to see her like this either. This was basically something that only happened when couples were… “doing it.” How could she… always…
It was too embarrassing.
She bit her lip and whispered to Wen Shiyu, “You… pinch me.”
“Huh?” Wen Shiyu didn’t understand.
“Pinch me, hard!” Seraphina thought the pain might work.
Wen Shiyu, however, misunderstood and thought she meant “pinch the ears.” She looked at that pair of fluffy, pale-gold ears.
Could they… be pinched away?
Just then, the living room door opened again. This time, it was Xia Te.
Seraphina was so startled she immediately ducked back under the blanket.
Xia Te sat down on a nearby armchair, first offering a few words of concern for Seraphina. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to Wen Shiyu.
“How was your time with Su Yan in the lab today? She learned about pheromone collection on the fly, but she did a good job helping you collect them, didn’t she?”
Wen Shiyu was confused by the question but nodded anyway. “Um… yeah.”
Xia Te’s golden eyes flickered, and she smiled like a mischievous cat. “Speaking of which, if two Alphas are in close contact, wouldn’t they feel a rejection of each other’s pheromones? However, there are Alphas in the world who can be attracted to each other, or even fall in love. So… the human brain is a mysterious thing; even an Alpha can learn to get excited by certain specific Alpha pheromones.”
The more Wen Shiyu listened, the more confused she became. She felt Xia Te’s topic was very strange. Didn’t she know Wen Shiyu was actually a Beta?
However, she felt Seraphina grab her tightly under the blanket. Wen Shiyu thought she was urging her to hurry up and pinch her.
In a moment of desperation, her hand groped around under the blanket until she touched a small, round rabbit tail.
Then, she squeezed it…
“—!” Seraphina’s eyes went wide instantly. Her face turned beet red.
Idiot! Big idiot! Not there! That’s not what I meant at all!
But she didn’t dare make a sound or move. She could only cover her mouth tightly and slump against Wen Shiyu, listening to Wen Shiyu absentmindedly chat with Xia Te while her hand was still… under the blanket…
Seraphina was both ashamed and anxious, screaming in her heart for Wen Shiyu to stop. But Wen Shiyu didn’t seem to get the signal at all, thinking her grip wasn’t firm enough…
After a long while, Wen Shiyu finally felt that the texture under her fingertips was wrong.
The area near that fluffy tail… why did it feel… a bit damp?
Her brain slowly processed the information. After a few seconds of blankness, she suddenly realized what that might imply.
Wen Shiyu’s cheeks flushed instantly, and her whole body froze.
Xia Te suddenly called her name: “Wen Shiyu?”
Wen Shiyu snapped back to reality. “Huh?”
Xia Te asked softly, “Why is your face so red? Is it because… you’re thinking of Su Yan?”
Wen Shiyu: “What?” Seraphina under the blanket: “??”
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the doctor’s voice came from outside.
Xia Te stood up with a smile. “The doctor is here. I’ll head out first.”
Once the door closed, Wen Shiyu and Seraphina—who finally poked her head out of the blanket—stared at each other.
Seraphina’s face was so red she looked like she might cry the next second. She began hitting Wen Shiyu in a fit of shame and anger.
“I hate you! I hate you! Get out! You’re a big idiot!”
She pushed Wen Shiyu off the sofa with all her might, then quickly wrapped herself from head to toe in the blanket, curling into a ball and refusing to show her face again.
Wen Shiyu wanted to explain, but the doctor had already pushed the door open and walked in. She had no choice but to swallow her words, stand up awkwardly, and retreat to the side.
Walking out of the living room, Wen Shiyu stood alone in the hallway, her hands instinctively clenched together, her cheeks still burning.
She had really just thought it was a rabbit tail!
She hadn’t considered that if the tail was pressed against… it was basically the same as touching… Seraphina’s butt.
Look at the mess she’d made!
Wen Shiyu covered her face, feeling her ears burning.
The female doctor went into the room to consult with Seraphina. A moment later, she emerged, stating that Seraphina’s health was fine but she needed quiet rest and did not want to be disturbed.
Wen Shiyu figured Seraphina was truly angry and didn’t want to deal with her for the time being. Since the doctor was there along with Su Yan and Xia Te to care for her, Wen Shiyu felt her staying might only make things more awkward, so she planned to leave.
To her surprise, Su Yan walked out with her.
Wasn’t she going to stay with Seraphina?
On second thought, one of Su Yan’s primary “tasks” seemed to be supervising her and Seraphina. Now that she was leaving, Su Yan probably didn’t see the need to stay.
The two walked in silence for a while. Su Yan suddenly spoke. “The necklace… why is it gone again?”
“Ah.” Wen Shiyu rubbed her neck helplessly. “Seraphina found it… she didn’t seem to like the new one, so she took it off.”
Su Yan suddenly thought of the trouble they had gone through in the car over the collar, and for a moment, she felt a bit awkward too.
“I see…”
On the other side, in the room.
Seraphina covered her face. Her rabbit ears drooped softly against her hair. No matter how much she chanted “disappear” in her mind, they stubbornly remained, as if silently proclaiming her inner turmoil.
What should she do?
Seraphina felt that her need for Wen Shiyu’s pheromones had indeed increased.
After all, Wen Shiyu had only just walked away, yet she was already starting to want her to come back.
And her body… had been… the whole time…
